ABSTRACT
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a grade B infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). In pace with the spreading of the disease, biosafety risk of the biological specimen preservation in biobanks has been significantly increased and biosafety protection during biological specimen preservation become increasingly important. According to the related national rules and the corresponding guidelines of Chinese Medical Association, this paper introduced the etiology about SARS-CoV-2, epidemiology about COVID-19, and the biosafety protection principles of individuals and biological specimen storage places in the process of personal protection, protection of collection, transport, handling, preservation, detection, post-detection disposal and emergencies of biological specimen. Emphasized to carry out a strict biosafety-risk assessment on biological specimen basing on virus load information, infectivity, and sample type (possible contact transmission, aerosol transmission, and fecal oral transmission).

AIM: To investigate the effects of diazoxide, an ATP-sensitive K + channel opener on the ?-calpain activation, c-Fos and c- Jun expression in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic rat brain. METHODS:The animal model of hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) was made in the 7-day -old SD rats. Diazoxide was injected into the left lateral ventricle prior or po st hypoxic-ischemia (HI) insults. Western blot was applied to detect the integra ted density (ID) of the nuclear c-Fos and c-Jun at 4h, and the cleavage of cytos olic ?-calpain at 24 h after HI insults. RESULTS: Low c-Fos and c-Jun expressions from cortical and hippocampal samples were observed in the tw o diazoxide groups, and significant differences in their expressions were found by comparison with the HI controls (P
