Objective: To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing on pain relief, comfort and burden of family care of infantile anal fistula.
Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial. A total of 106 cases of children with anal fistula from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected and divided into observation group and control group, there were 53 cases in each group.
Human epithelial colorectal adenocarcinoma (Caco-2) cells are widely used as an in vitro model of the human small intestinal mucosa. Caco-2 cells are host cells of the human astrovirus (HAstV) and other enteroviruses. High quality cDNA libraries are pertinent resources and critical tools for protein-protein interaction research, but are currently unavailable for Caco-2 cells.

HAstV-induced epithdlial cell apoptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of HAstV infection. Our previous study indicated that HAstV non-structural protein nsPla C-terminal protein nsPla/4 was the major apoptosis functional protein and probably contained the main apoptosis domains.

Furthermore, fluorescence analysis, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blot assays showed that pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA inhibits ORF2 gene expression in Caco2 cells. The results indicate that siRNA/shRNA-469 and siRNA/shRNA-1802 can interfere with capsid protein expression in cell culture, and this provides a powerful tool for the study of HAstV gene functions and the biological properties of the capsid protein.
