Résumé
Activation of the heart normally begins in the sinoatrial node (SAN). Electrical impulses spontaneously released by SAN pacemaker cells (SANPCs) trigger the contraction of the heart. However, the cellular nature of SANPCs remains controversial. Here, we report that SANPCs exhibit glutamatergic neuron-like properties. By comparing the single-cell transcriptome of SANPCs with that of cells from primary visual cortex in mouse, we found that SANPCs co-clustered with cortical neurons. Tissue and cellular imaging confirmed that SANPCs contained key elements of glutamatergic neurotransmitter system, expressing genes encoding glutamate synthesis pathway (Gls), ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors (Grina, Gria3, Grm1 and Grm5), and glutamate transporters (Slc17a7). SANPCs highly expressed cell markers of glutamatergic neurons (Snap25 and Slc17a7), whereas Gad1, a marker of GABAergic neurons, was negative. Functional studies revealed that inhibition of glutamate receptors or transporters reduced spontaneous pacing frequency of isolated SAN tissues and spontaneous Ca

Objective:To construct clinical nursing procedure of pulmonary rehabilitation for thoracoscopic surgery of lung cancer, and to test its application effect.Methods:The control group ( n=41) received routine nursing care from December 2018 to May 2019; the intervention group ( n=41) received clinical nursing pathway of pulmonary rehabilitation from June to October, 2019. The 6MWT, Brog score and incidence of pulmonary complications and quality of life were compared between the two groups. Results:The results showed that 6-minute walk test (6 MWT) was (471.22±54.89) m, (325.38±17.65) m, and (407.27±13.84) m before surgery, at discharge time and 30 d after discharge, in the intervention respectively, which were longer than those of the control group [(440.95±70.51) m, (306.69±21.49) m, and (355.94±26.10) m] ( t values were -2.169, -4.304, -11.128, P<0.05). The total incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications was 4.9% (2/41) in the intervention, which was less than 19.5%(8/41) in the control group ( χ2 value was 0.088, P<0.05). The values of physical function and cognitive function 30 d after surgery was 80(73, 87), 83(83, 83) in the intervention, respectively, higher than those of the control group [73 (33,80), 83 (67,100)] ( Z values were 2.862, 2.448, P<0.05). The fatigue, pain, dyspnea, insomnia and loss of appetite scores was significantly lower (P<0.05). Conclusion:Clinical nursing procedure of pulmonary rehabilitation for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery of lung cancer can promote and conducive the cardiopulmonary endurance, reduce the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications, increase the level of physical and cognitive function, improve postoperative symptoms and the quality of life.
Résumé
The PHD finger is a Zn-binding domain found in all eukaryotic genomes, and typically show a C4HC3 signature. Notably, many if not all PHD fingers are found in nuclear proteins whose functions are associated with the regulation of transcription, cell cycle and apoptosis. Increasingly evidences suggest that the PHD finger has multiple functions, including the protein-protein interaction, especially interact with nucleosomes. The pattern and combination of histone modifications, for example, methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination etc, have been believed to be an important regulator of gene expression and state of the chromatin, which have raised the histone code hypothesis. With the feature of specific recognizing methylated histone, the PHD finger may functions as an important reader of the histone code.
