Methods Expression of the human ARmRNA in 14 paraffin-embedded prostate tissues (4 cases of NAP and 10 cases of BPH) was studied with the direct in situ reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Quantitative analysis of the ARmRNA products was performed using the image analysis system. Results ①Specific ARmRNA was detected in both NAP and BPH specimens and in both epithelia and interstitial cells. The positive products were relatively densely localized in the cytoplasm of perinuclear zone. ② The intensity of ARmRNA signals in epithelial cells was significantly stronger than that in interstitial cells (P<0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference in ARmRNA level between NAP and BPH; ③ The heterogeneity of ARmRNA signal and the androgen-independent cells were observed in prostatic epithelia. Stronger positive signals of ARmRNA were shown in a few basal-cell layer (BCL) cells of BPH tissue, but were not found in that of NAP tissue. Conclusion Results of this study show that there is no significant difference in the ARmRNA expression between NAP and BPH groups in both epithelium and interstitial cells. It may indicate that BPH does not result from the ARmRNA transcription in the prostate.展开更多

Paraffin slice for in situ PCR and in situ hybridization was made and the location and distribution of ASPV RNA were detected in paraffin slices using in situ reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and the important factors which influenced the experiment results were optimized. ASPV mainly distributed in palisade tissue of mesophyll cells, external cortex of the tip, and the corresponding newborn vascular bundles. 20 min was the suitable digestive time for proteinase K. For the better amplication, RT reaction system should be above 0.2 U μL^-1 and 0.4 mmol L^-1 for RNasin and dNTPs respectively, 0.1-1.3 U μ L^-1 SuperScript Ⅱ, 0.6- 0.8 μmol L^-1 primer concentration, and above 0.5 U 100 μL^-1 LA Taq DNA polymerase. The suitable annealing temperature in PCR reaction was 60℃ with 35 cycles. The apical meristem of 0.25 mm was the region of virus-free.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND:Ischemic stroke refers to a disorder in the blood supply to a local area of brain tissue for various reasons and is characterized by high morbidity,mortality,and disability.Early reperfusion of brain tissue at risk of injury is crucial for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.The purpose of this study was to evaluate comfort levels in managing acute stroke patients with hypoxemia who required endotracheal intubation after multidisciplinary in situ simulation training and to shorten the door-to-image time.METHODS:This quality improvement project utilized a comprehensive multidisciplinary in situ simulation exercise.A total of 53 participants completed the two-day in situ simulation training.The main outcome was the self-reported comfort levels of participants in managing acute stroke patients with hypoxemia requiring endotracheal intubation before and after simulation training.A 5-point Likert scale was used to measure participant comfort.A paired-sample t-test was used to compare the mean self-reported comfort scores of participants,as well as the endotracheal intubation time and door-to-image time on the fi rst and second days of in situ simulation training.The door-to-image time before and after the training was also recorded.RESULTS:The findings indicated that in situ simulation training could enhance participant comfort when managing acute stroke patients with hypoxemia who required endotracheal intubation and shorten door-to-image time.For the emergency management of hypoxemia or tracheal intubation,the mean post-training self-reported comfort score was signifi cantly higher than the mean pre-training comfort score(hypoxemia:4.53±0.64 vs.3.62±0.69,t=-11.046,P<0.001;tracheal intubation:3.98±0.72 vs.3.43±0.72,t=-6.940,P<0.001).We also observed a decrease in the tracheal intubation and door-to-image time and a decreasing trend in the door-to-image time,which continued after the training.CONCLUSION:Our study demonstrates that the implementation of in situ simulation training in a clinical environment with a multidisciplinary approach may improve the ability and confi dence of stroke team members,optimize the fi rst-aid process,and eff ectively shorten the door-to-image time of stroke patients with emergency complications.
