      Abstract:Objective:This stuly aims to explore strategies for effectively studying the interaction between membrane receptors and extracellular ligands using fluorescence resonance energy transfer(FRET). Methods:Based on the model of interaction between LRP6 and WNT3A established by PDB and Zdock database,LRP6 was truncated without affecting the interaction between LRP6 membrane receptor and WNT3A;the signal peptides of LRP6 and WNT3A were reconstituted at the amino terminus of the fluorescent tag to avoid loss of the fluorescent tag due to signal peptide cleavage;flexible linker peptides was used to connect signal peptides,fluorescent tags, and mature proteins to attenuate the effects of fluorescent tags on subcellular localization and function of membrane receptors. Results:The above improvement strategy significantly enhanced the membrane localization signal of LRP6 fusion protein. The interaction between LRP6 and WNT3A in the cell membrane region could be clearly detected by FRET technology,and the average FRET efficiency reached 26.51%. Conclusion:This study provides new ideas and strategies for effectively using FRET technology to study the interaction between membrane receptors and extracellular ligands in living cells.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the neuroprotective effects and the underlying mechanisms of shikonin(SK)after traumatic brain injury(TBI). Methods:Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups as follows:sham operation group(Sham group),TBI group,TBI + 1 mg/kg shikonin group(TBI+SK 1 mg/kg),TBI + 5 mg/kg shikonin group(TBI+SK 5 mg/kg). The modified neurological severity scores(mNSS)and the apoptosis of neurons after TBI(Neuron/TUNEL)was observed,the integrity of the blood brain barrier (BBB)was detected by Evans blue staining. Moreover,we used Western blot and RT⁃PCR to determine the expression of NLRP3/ASC/ IL⁃1β/Caspase1 and detected the changes in the levels of oxidative stress markers including ROS,LPO,MDA and antioxidant enzymes which includes SOD and GPx in the edema zone around the cortical injury. The Neuro⁃2a cell line and BV2 cell line were cultured in vitro,stimulated by LPS to establish the inflammatory environment. We used Western blot to observe the inflammatory response of BV2cells and observed that the changes of neuronal apoptosis by flow cytometry. Results:Shikonin treatment improved mNSS after TBI and exerted neuroprotective effects. Shikonin could inhibit the level of ROS,LPO,MDA,and promoted the increase of SOD,GPx, alleviating the oxidative damage after TBI. Moreover,shikonin significantly inhibited the inflammatory activation of NF ⁃ κB/NLRP3 after TBI,and inhibited the activation of microglia and astrocytes in the penumbra around the injury. Conclusion:Shikonin may play a neuroprotective effect after TBI via inhibiting the activation of NF⁃κB/NLRP3 and alleviating oxidative stress.

      Abstract:Objective:A novel multidrug resistant(MDR)Escherichia coli(E.coli)strain J2_5 was isolated from a patient’s mid ⁃ stream urine sample. According to the genome sequence of J2_5,we analyzed its evolutionary classification,drug resistance genes and virulence genes,providing theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and drug selection for drug resistant bacterial infection. Methods: Genome DNA of J2_5 was isolated and sequenced by high ⁃ throughput sequencing technology,after analyzed the high ⁃ throughput sequencing data and compared it with known databases by a variety of bioinformatics tools,a high integrity genome of J2_5 was obtained. Results:The total length of the whole genome of J2_5 was 4.7Mb and GC content was 50.78%. Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that J2_ 5’genome was closely related to that of wild type E. coli strain MG1655. But Multilocus sequence typing(MLST)analysis revealed ST type of J2_5 was ST2491,which was different from that of MG1655(ST10). Furthermore,CARD database analysis showed that the genome of J2_5 encodes 65 drug resistance genes,which make the strain obtain drug⁃resistant ability through four different mechanisms (antibiotic efflux pump,antibiotic inactivation,antibiotic target change,reduced permeability to antibiotics). VFDB database analysis showed that there were 40 virulence genes in 7 categories,encoding adhesive proteins,invasion proteins,autonomic transporters and other toxin proteins. After analyzing the whole genome of J2_5 through the Prophage Hunter online tool,we found that there were three prophages in the genome of J2_5,and a virulence gene was carried by one of the prophages. Conclusion:The whole genome sequencing results showed that J2_5 carries some virulence genes and drug resistance genes,which makes the strain obtain strong pathogenicity and resistance ability to a variety of antibiotics.

      Abstract:Objective:To determine the nuclear localization signal of vitamin D receptor(VDR)and verify its function. Methods: The nuclear localization signal of VDR was predicted by software analysis and literature investigation. A series of point mutants of VDR were constructed by a point mutation kit. The distribution of VDR in the cytoplasm and nucleus was obsened by Western blot and immunofluoresceme to determine the effect of mutation points in the entry of VDR into the nucleus. Finally,quantitatve real⁃time PCR (qPCR)was used to detect the expression of genes downstream of VDR to determine the activity of VDR nuclear localization mutants. Results:The nuclear localization signal sequence of VDR was determined to be49RRSMKRKALFLT61. The expression of a series of NLS (nuclear localization sequence)point mutants of VDR was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm. Vitamin D could neither induce these point mutants into the nucleus nor promote the expression of downstream genes of vitamin D. Conclusion:VDR nuclear localization signal can effectively control the entry of VDR into the nucleus,play the role of transcription factors,and then affect the expression of downstream genes,which provides a new platform and idea for exploring the treatment of vitamin D and VDR related diseases。

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the effect and mechanism of TIR/BB⁃loop mimetic AS⁃1 on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in mice. Methods:Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly and equally divided into four groups:sham operation group(Sham group),renal ischemia/reperfusion injury group(RIR group),AS ⁃ 1+ renal ischemia/reperfusion injury group(AS ⁃ 1+RIR group),vehilce + renal ischemia/reperfusion injury group(vehilce + RIR group). The renal ischemia/reperfusion injury model was constructed by clipping bilateral renal veins for 45 min and reperfusion for 24 h. The AS⁃1+RIR group and vehilce+RIR group were intraperitoneally injected with 50 mg/kg AS ⁃ 1 and vehicle 30 minutes before operation. After 24 h reperfusion,renal functional parameters,serum mediator concentrations,markers of apoptosis indexes and expression of phosphorylated NF⁃κB p65 were determined. Results:Serum creatinine (Scr)、blood ureanitrogen(BUN)、TNF⁃α、IL⁃6、Cleaved caspase3、Bax and p⁃NF⁃κB p65 were significantly increased after renal IR compared with the sham group(P<0.01). The expression of Bcl⁃2 and the ratio of Bcl⁃2/Bax were significantly decreased(P < 0.01). After treatment with AS⁃1,the levels of Scr、BUN、TNF⁃α、IL⁃6、cleaved caspase 3、Bax and P⁃p65 were significantly decreased(P < 0.01),the expression of Bcl ⁃2 was increased(P < 0.01),and the ratio of Bcl ⁃2/Bax was also increased. Conclusion:TIR/BB loop analogue AS ⁃ 1 has protective effect on renal ischemia ⁃ reperfusion injury in mice. The mechanism may be related to its anti ⁃ inflammatory and anti apoptotic effects by inhibiting the activation of NF ⁃ κ B signaling pathway.

      Abstract:Objective:To investigate the proteomics of primary neurons exposed to methamphetamine(METH)and the corresponding cellular functions,unraveling the potential neurotoxicity of METH exposure. Methods:The primary cultured neurons were treated with METH(0,900 μmol/L)and then hydrolyzed by protease. LC⁃MS/MS was used to detect and quantify the proteins, then the database of Uniprot RattusNorvegicus_ 36080_ 20180123 was used to identify the target protein,gene ontology(GO)was used to annotate the protein function,and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)database was used to classify the target protein sequence by KO analysis to obtain the target protein associated signal pathways. Based on the above pathways,Western blot was used to verify the synaptic damage induced by METH,and immunofluorescence was performed to examine the expression and spatial localization of synapses. Results:The total number of proteins identified was 6619. Compared with the control group,the protein with expression difference more than 1.2 times and P < 0.05 was classified as differential protein. Through screening,51 different proteins were screened,of which 40 proteins were up ⁃ regulated while 11 proteins were down ⁃ regulated. For protein expression,METH exposure significantly decreased the expression of post synaptic density protein 95(PSD95)and Drebrin,while presynaptic marker synapsin 1 was significantly up ⁃ regulated;immunofluorescence results showed that Drebrin expression was significantly decreased accompanied by reduced co ⁃ localization with F ⁃ actin,meanwhile,the spatial localization of PSD95 and synapsin 1 was significantly decreased. Conclusion:METH exposure causes abnormal expression of numerous proteins in primary neurons as well as the disorderof a spectrum of cellular functions,which finalizes the destruction of synaptic structure and neuronal damage.

According to the admission conditions,agE- and gender⁃matched newly diagnosed T2DM patients with HUA(DMUA group) and newly diagnosed T2DM patients(T2DM group) were selected,and age ⁃ and gender ⁃ matched hyperuricemia patients(HUA group)and healthy volunteers(Control group)were included at the same time. The clinical data and biochemical test results were recorded. The data were analyzed by chi⁃square test,analysis of variance,Tukey⁃HSD Test and Wilcoxon rank sum test method. Stool samples of 4 groups were collected and sequenced by 16S rRNA high⁃throughput sequencing method and all the data were finally analyzed by bioinformatics. Results:①Comparison of clinical features:CHO,TG,AI were higher in DMUA than T2DM group,LDL in DMUA was only higher than the T2DM group with a history of more than 5 years. DMUA group were youngerand had a greater prevalence of fatty liver than T2DM group,but HbA1c in DMUA was lower than T2DM group. Compared with the T2DM group,HUA group and the Control group,the DMUA group had a significant decrease in high ⁃ density lipoprotein and a significant increase in triglycerides. And compared with the T2DM group and HUA group,the arteriosclerosis index of DMUA groups was significantly increased.②The gut microbiome analysis:The α diversity index of the DMUA group was significantly lower than that of the Control group. There was a significant difference in β diversity between the DMUA group,Control group and the HUA group. In the analysis of bacteria abundance,compared with the HUA group,f_Prevotellaceae and g_Megamonas were significantly increased in the DMUA group,while p_Bacteroidetes,c_Bacteroidia,o_Bacteroidales,f_Bacteroidaceae,g_Bacteroides,f_Tannerellaceae and g_Parabacteroides were significantly decreased. Compared with the Control group, c_clostridia, o_clostridiales, f_Peptostreptococcaceae and g_Romboutsia were significantly decreased in the DMUA group. Conclusion:Compared with long⁃course T2DM with HUA and newly diagnosed T2DM alone,the group with newly diagnosed T2DM with HUA is more likely to have abnormal lipid metabolism. The gut microbiome of the DMUA group is different from that of the T2DM group,HUA group or Control group,which may be related to the occurrence and development of T2DM and HUA.

      Abstract (140) HTML (316) PDF 1.50 M (1232) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:Objective:To study the differential proteomics in exosomes of peritoneal dialysis effluent(PDE)from patients with different dialysis ages. Methods:Ten stable peritoneal dialysis(PD)patients were selected and divided into newly enrolled patients group(NEPs group,n=5)and maintenance peritoneal dialysis patients group(MPDs group,n=5)according to the dialysis age. PDE was collected from patients left overnight. Exosomes were extracted by ultracentrifugation and identified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM),nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA),and Western blotting. Label ⁃free quantitative proteomics technology was used to identify and screen the exosomes. Functional enrichment and signal pathway bioinformatics analysis were performed for significantly differential proteins in the exosomes. Results:The exosomes in PDE showed saucer ⁃like vesicles under TEM,and the diameters were between 30 and 150 nm measured by NTA. The specific markers of exosomes,CD63 and TSG101 were detected by Western blotting. A total of 499 proteins were detected by proteomics analysis. After significant difference screening,17 were up ⁃ regulated and 15 were down ⁃ regulated. Gene ontology(GO)analysis showed that these differentially expressed proteins were mainly distributed in chloride channel complexes,cell surface and nuclear matrix,playing a role mainly in binding and catalytic activities,and were involved in biological processes such as positive regulation of binding,oxidative stress response and peroxidase response. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathways were mainly enriched in immunE-related signaling pathways,including IL⁃17signaling pathway and Th17 cell differentiation signaling pathway,which play a key role in peritoneal injury. Conclusion:The differentially expressed proteins screened by label ⁃ free quantitative proteomics technology could be used as candidate markers of peritoneal injury in PD patients and provids molecular clues for revealing the peritoneal fibrosis mechanism of pathogenesis.

Results:① The incidence of uterine rupture in this study was 0.054%. ② Clinical manifestations:23 cases(32.86%)had abdominal pain,13 cases(18.57%)had vaginal bleeding,9 cases(12.86%) had fetal heart abnormalities,7 cases(10%)had hemodynamic instability,11 cases(15.71%)had bloody amniotic fluid,pathological contraction of loops and other manifestations,and 29 cases(41.43%)had no clinical manifestations. ③ Maternal and infant outcomes: There were 24 cases(34.29%)with complete uterine rupture,4 cases(5.71%)with hysterectomy,30 cases(42.86%)with serious postpartum hemorrhage,21 cases(30%)with massive blood transfusion,and no maternal death. Among the 62 newborns,3 cases (4.84%)died intrauterine,1 case(1.61%)was given up rescue by family members,5 cases(8.06%)had severe neonatal asphyxia,7 cases(11.29%)had mild neonatal asphyxia. ④ Compared with scar uterine rupture,non ⁃ scar uterine rupture was more thanpostpartum rupture(66.67% vs. 16.36%,P < 0.05). Postpartum bleeding rate(80.00% vs. 32.73%),massive transfusion rate(66.67% vs. 20.00%)and hospitalization cost(26 348.68 yuan vs. 13 859.53 yuan)were significantly increased(P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference in neonatal outcomes between the two groups(P > 0.05). ⑤ In scarred uterus,the rate of complete uterine rupture (55%),postpartum hemorrhage(60%)and massive transfusion(45%)in TOLAC group were significantly higher than those in ERCS group(20.00%,17.14%,5.71%,P < 0.05). ⑥ There was no significant difference in maternal and infant outcomes of patients with rupture before and during labor(P > 0.05). However,the rates of complete uterine rupture(26.19% ,11.11%),massive blood transfusion(16.67%,11.11%)and hospitalization costs(11 576.33 RMB,14 846.30 RMB)were lower than those of postpartum group (63.16%,68.42%,25 310.57 RMB,P < 0.05). Conclusion:In this study,the clinical manifestations of uterine rupture were mainly characterized as abdominal pain,abnormal fetal heart rate or vaginal bleeding,and some patients had no specific clinical manifestations. Non⁃scar uterine rupture,especially if detected late,may result in a more severe adverse outcome.

      Abstract:Objective:To compare the advantages and disadvantages of pulmonary ultrasound and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the localization of endobronchial blocker. Methods:90 patients undergoing elective left thoracotomy for esophageal cancer were randomly divided into two groups:with 45 in each. After anesthesia induction,7.5 cm reinforced tracheal tube was inserted orally,and then the endobronchial blocker was placed blindly to the unilateral bronchus. The position of blocker was located and the effect of pulmonary isolation was judged respectively by pulmonary ultrasonography(group L)and fiberoptic bronchoscopy(group B). Patients were placed in right lateral position and then the blocker position was judged again. The total time needed to judge the pulmonary isolation in group L and group B,the times of intraoperative blocker adjustment,the satisfaction score of intraoperative pulmonary collapse,and the levels of MAP,HR and peak airway pressure(PAW)before and during the two positioning were recorded. Results:There was no significant difference in lung isolation time,lung collapse satisfaction score and intraoperative cuff adjustment times between group L and group B(P > 0.05). Compared with those before positioning,HR,MAP and PAW in group L during the blocker localization had no significant changes(P > 0.05). The levels of HR,MAP and PAW in group B during twice blocker positioning were significantly higher than those before fiberoptic bronchoscope implantation(P < 0.05). Conclusion:The pulmonary isolation effect of endobronchial blocker judged by pulmonary ultrasound is similar to that of fiberoptic bronchoscope,but the effect of pulmonary ultrasound on hemodynamics is less than that of fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

      Abstract:Objective:To explore the application value of SonoVue and Sonazoid contrast ⁃enhanced ultrasonography in focal liver lesions. Methods:The clinical and contrast ⁃enhanced ultrasound imaging data of the patients with focal liver lesions in our hospital from January 2020 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively. The perfusion pattern,enhancement characteristics of arterial phase,portal phase,delayed phase and late vascular phase(Kupffer phase)of the contrast medium were analysed. Taking the pathological examination results as the“gold standard”,the two examination methods were compared and analyzed. Results:Taking the pathological examination results as the“gold standard”,the accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of SonoVue and Sonazoid contrast ⁃enhanced ultrasonography was 88.33%,90.48%,83.33%,92.68%,78.95% and 93.33%,95.24%,88.89%,95.24%,88.89% respectivelv. The kappa value of the consistency test between the two kinds of contrast⁃ enhanced ultrasonography was 0.73. The consistency was at a medium level and the accuracy of SonoVue and Sonazoid contrast ⁃ enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of focal liver lesions was not statistically significant(P=0.373). Conclusion:Sonazoid and SonoVue contrast ⁃ enhanced ultrasonography have no significant difference in the diagnostic accuracy of focal liver lesions,but compared with SonoVue,Sonozoid has a higher quality image,and has the ability to preliminarily judge the differentiation degree of liver tumors,and can also provide a sufficient time for the scanning of other space occupying lesions of the whole liver. Therefore, Sonazoid contrast⁃enhanced ultrasonography has higher clinical application value and broader application prospects.

      Abstract:Objective:To establish and validate a prediction model combined machine learning with radiomics features in predicting outcome after mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke. Methods:Imaging data of acute stroke patients in Nanjing First Hospital were retrospectively collected. These patients were divided into a training set(n=105)and a test set(n=50)according to random number table method. Acute stroke(n=45)in the Second People’s Hospital of Changzhou were collected as the validation set. A.K. software was used to extract radiomics features on diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)and perfusion weighted imaging(PWI). Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(LASSO)regression model was used to screen the features,and then,the selected features were used to establish the prediction model by support vector machine(SVM)classifier. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model,and the validation set was used to verify the generalization ability of the model. Results: One thousand three hundred and sixteen radiomics features of each patient were extracted from DWI and PWI,and 40 features highly related to outcome after mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke were screened after dimension reduction. ROC analysis showed that the area under curve(AUC)of DWI+PWI model(training set:0.981;test set:0.891)was higher than those of DWI or PWI model,and the accuracy were 0.943 and 0.900,respectively. The results of validation of the model showed that the prediction model based onDWI + PWI was also better than that of single sequence(DWI or PWI),the sensitivity and specificity were 0.864 and 0.783 respectively,and the accuracy was 0.822. Conclusion:The prediction model combined machine learning and radiomics can effectively predict outcome after mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke,and has good generalization ability.

      Abstract:Acute intestinal ischemic is a common and critical illness,such as superior mesenteric artery embolism. Ischemia reperfusion injury(IRI)is common after treatment. In the pathological process of intestinal IRI,mitophagy is a“doublE-edged sword”. Its role mainly depends on the degree of IRI. In the pathological changes of mild intestinal IRI,it plays a role in alleviating IRI,while in severe cases,it plays the opposite role. The regulation mechanism of mitophagy in intestinal IRI involves multiple signal pathways, such as PINK1/Parkin signal pathway,BNIP3/NIX signal pathway,FUNDC1 signal pathway and Beclin1 signal pathway. With the deepening of related research,the function and mechanism of mitophagy in intestinal IRI is gradually clear,which provides a reference for accurate intestinal IRI.
