Generation and phenotypic characterization of S100A9 gene knockout mice by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene targeting / 生理学报

S100 calcium binding protein A9 (S100A9) is involved in a variety of biological processes such as inflammation and tumor cell migration and invasion regulation. The purpose of this study was to construct S100A9 gene-edited mice by using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, thereby providing an animal model for exploring the biological functions of this gene. According to the S100A9 gene sequence, the single-stranded small guide RNA (sgRNA) targeting exons 2 and 3 was transcribed in vitro, and a mixture of Cas9 mRNA and candidate sgRNA was injected into mouse fertilized eggs by microinjection. Early embryos were obtained and transferred to surrogate mice, and F

Practice and exploration of the tuition-free medical students' in rural areas of Sichuan province / 中国卫生政策研究

Objective:This paper summarizes the practical problems encountered in the implementation of the tuition-free medical students' policyin rural areas of Sichuan Province, and provides a reference for the implementation of this policy across the province. Methods :Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the principals of the orientation management policies of the health administrative departments and county level and primary health care in-stitutionsin Sichuan, and the focus group interviews were used to understand the dynamics of directed students. Results :The survey results showed that there were limited channels for students to understand the policy ; students' barren understanding of the work of grass-roots doctors ; credit and integrity files played a relatively low role in retaining medical talent students;the willingness of orientation students is higher, but there is a contradiction between applying for graduate students and retaining grassroots in rural areas ; and the relevant departments lacked a rational and efficient management mode for students. Conclusions :In order to ameliorate the construction of rural health human resources,policy administrators should place their emphasis on cultivating the sense of honor and responsibility in the rural-oriented tuition-free medical students'policy, improve the reward and punishment mechanism in policies, optimize the management and assessment process, and promote the orientation of the work among the various policy-participating departments in a more harmonious and orderly manner.
