Objective To construct AWP1 (associated with protein kinase C related kinase 1) recombinant adenovirus as the tool of transferring the gene and investigate its expression and localization in human vascular endothelial cell ECV304. Methods Cloned AWP1 cDNA was inserted into the multiply clone sites (MCS) of plasmid pcDNA3 for adding flag tag, and the flag-AWP1 gene was subcloned into shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV. After identified with restrictional enzymes, plasmid pAdTrack-flag-AWP1 was linearized by digestion with restriction endonuclease PmeⅠ, and subsequently cotransformed into E.coli BJ5183 cells with adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdEasy-1 to make homologous recombination. After linearized by PacⅠ, the homologous recombinant adenovirus plasmid transfected into 293 cells with Lipofectamine to pack recombinant adenovirus. After PCR assay of recombinant adenovirus granules, recombinant adenoviruses infected 293 cells repeatedly for obtaining the high-level adenoviruses solution. And then, the recombinant adenoviruses infected human ECV304 cells for observing the expression and localization of AWP1 under laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Results PCR assay showed that recombinant adenovirus Ad-flag-AWP1 was obtained successfully; and ECV304 cells were infected high-efficiently by the homologous recombinant virus. Then, it was observed that flag-AWP1 protein expressed in ECV304 cells and distributed in the leading edges of the cell membrane. Conclusion The vectors of flag-AWP1 recombinant adenovirus are constructed, and the localization of AWP1 protein in ECV304 cells might show that AWP1 may be a potential role on the cell signal transduction.
Objective To study and summarize the clinical experience and significance of the skeleton reconstruction of human hand allografts. Methods From January 2001 to October 2003, human hand allografts were appliedto treat 4 cases of traumatic hand defect(6 hands) at different levels.

【Abstract】 Objective To reconstruct three different kinds of tympanic membrane in vitro by tissue engineeringtechnique, and to examine their histological structures and mechanical properties. Methods The skin and dura of pig(weight 30 kg) were processed with high satuated sal ine and enzymes to make extracellular matrix. Meanwhile, fibroblasts(1×106 /mL,0.2 mL) were seeded on the surface of these two scaffolds and collagen. The composite tissues were cultured in vitro for 1 week and examined in histological structure and mechanical properties. Results Fibroblasts cultured were spindle–shaped and could grow and attach to these scaffolds with a arrangement of sarciniform and parallel. The reconstructed tissue of ECM and collagen appeared to integrate well and had better bio-compatibil ity. The mean thickness of the collagen, the skin and the dura (all covered with fibroblasts) were 9.4, 10.0 and 10.4 μm respectively. The tension of the collagen was (1.417±0.030) N/mm2, of the acellular dermal matrix was (24.500±2.040) N/mm2(being close to the tension of normal tympanic membrane, 26.700 N/ mm2),of the acellular dura was (53.300±2.600) N/mm2. Conclusion The results suggest that the tension and the thinkness of acellular dermal matrix is similar to the normal tympanic membrane of guinea pig, it is an ideal material for tympanoplasty.

ObjectiveTo explore the current situation of financial toxicity (FT) of breast cancer patients undergoing daytime chemotherapy under the background of diagnosis intervention packet (DIP) and its influencing factors, and to build a risk early warning model.Methods Convenient sampling method was used to select breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in the daytime ward of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute & Hospital between April and May 2022. The general data questionnaire and FT comprehensive score scale were used to investigate them, and the influencing factors of patients’ FT were discussed through single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis, and the risk early warning model was established. Hosmer-Lemeshow fitting effect test was used to evaluate the prediction effect of the model.Results A total of 278 patients were included. The median (lower quartile, upper quartile) of FT score was 14.00 (8.75, 23.00), of which 195 patients (70.14%) had FT score≤22; 83 patients (29.86%) had FT scores>22. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, per capita monthly income of families, commercial health insurance, chemotherapy cycle, tumor stage, neoadjuvant chemotherapy were the influencing factors for high-risk FT of breast cancer patients undergoing daytime chemotherapy. The results of Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test showed that the model-predicted FT of breast cancer patients undergoing daytime chemotherapy was in good agreement with the actual observation value (χ2=10.685, P=0.220). The area under the curve of the model was 0.931 [95% confidence interval (0.900, 0.962)], the sensitivity was 0.807, and the specificity was 0.913.Conclusions The FT of breast cancer patients undergoing daytime chemotherapy is at a high level. Older age, purchase of commercial health insurance, and high per capita monthly income of families are protective factors for high-risk FT. The wind with chemotherapy cycle≤4 weeks, tumor stage Ⅱ, neoadjuvant chemotherapy are high-risk FT risk factors. The final warning model has been tested to have a good prediction effect, which can provide a reference for clinical medical staff to identify high-risk FT patients early and make preventive strategies as soon as possible.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the developing methodologies of Essential Medicines Lists for Children (EMLcs) in global, in order to provide reference in developing EMLc of China. MethodsWe searched ProQuest, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and MEDLINE databases, World Health Organization (WHO) official website, and 67 websites of National Ministry of Health and Drug Administration Section, to collect literature about selection methodology of children and/or adult essential medicines list (EML). A descriptive analysis was conducted. ResultsA total of fourteen literatures were included. Of which, 6 were about the essential medicines selection methodology in children, and the other 8 were about the essential medicines selection methodology in adult. The WHO had established independent EMLc selection committee. Paediatricians were involved in the selection of EMLc in the WHO and India. There was no selection criteria and process for EMLc globally. The WHO, India, and South Africa selected their EMLcs referring to the WHO EML selection criteria. The WHO and South Africa had their own updating time, period and process for EMLc. The WHO EMLc was updated per 2 years, which in high frequency and conducts in rigorous process. However, the EMLc of India had not been updated yet. ConclusionIt is suggested that China could build a national EMLc selection committee involving paediatricians and evidence-based medicine experts etc. in referring to the framework of the WHO Child Health Working Group. The EMLc selection criteria and process of China could be established referring to the one of the WHO, based on the disease burden, drug accessibility and medical insurance of children of China. The EMLc of China should be simultaneously updated with the adult EML of China.
