Relationship Among Fungal Diversity at Different Levels of Root System of Stellaria dichotoma var. lanceolata， Soil Properties， and Main Components of Medicinal Materials in Lithosol Habitats / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the interaction among root fungi of Stellaria dichotoma var. lanceolata， soil factors， and main components of medicinal materials in lithosol habitats. MethodHigh-throughput sequencing technology was employed to determine the fungal community of the root system of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata at different levels （bulk soil， rhizosphere soil， rhizoplane soil， and root interior） and the soil properties of the root system （bulk and rhizosphere）， and the relationship among the fungal community， soil properties， and the main components of medicinal materials was analyzed. ResultThe total phosphorus， available phosphorus， alkaline nitrogen， dissolved organic carbon， and soil water content in the rhizosphere soil of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata were slightly higher than those in the rhizosphere， but the difference was not significant. Ascomycota is the dominant phylum of root fungi in S. dichotoma var. lanceolata. In the progressive level of bulk-rhizosphere-rhizoplane-root interior system， although the fungal diversity gradually decreased， the abundance of Hypocreales， a new phylum （unclassified_ k_ Fungi）， Helotiales， and Natipusilales gradually increased， among which Hypocreales is the most important fungal group in the root system of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata. The structural equation model （SEM） shows that the physicochemical factors of the root-soil play an important regulatory role in the fungal community and the main components of medicinal herbs， with soil total nitrogen， alkaline nitrogen， soil water content， and pH being the main regulatory factors. Soil nitrogen content is the key to promoting the main components of the medicinal herbs， and Penicillium fungi are the key fungal group to regulate the main components of the medicinal herbs. ConclusionIt highlights that the physicochemical properties of the soil of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata play a crucial role in the fungal community and the components of medicinal materials. Hypocreales fungi in the root of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata were an important group， and Penicillium fungi had a certain role in mediating the components of medicinal materials.

Small intestine submucosa as a scaffold for cartilage reconstruction in vitro / 生物医学工程学杂志

This paper is aimed to investigate the feasibility of applying the small intestine submucosa (SIS) as the scaffold in constructing tissue engineering cartilage in vitro. We obtained SIS from the small intestine of specific pathogen-free pigs. Then we isolated tunica submucosa layer from the mucosal, muscular, and serosal layers by gentle mechanic abrasion. The SIS was made acellular by combination of detergent and enzyme digestion. The chondrocytes were seeded onto the SIS and were cultured for 3 weeks. The cell growth, attachment and distribution were detected by histochemical stain, immunohistochemical stain and scan electron microscope. The chondrocytes could adhere and grow well on the matrix surface, and synthesize a large of the GAG and type U collagen. However, the chondrocytes grew only on the surface andsuperficial layer of the scaffold, they did not move into the inner part of the scaffold. It could be concluded that SIS has good cellular compatibility without cytotoxicity and provides temporary substrate to which these anchorage-dependent cells can adhere, and stimulate the chondrocytes anchored on the scaffold to proliferate and keep differentiated phenotype. Further study will be needed to promote the ability of chondrocyte chemotaxis in order to distribute the chondrocytes into the whole scaffold uniformly.

Analysis of prognostic risk factors in elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To explore short-term prognosis of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and prognostic risk factors, and to provide information for prognostic risk assessment. Methods A total of 156 patients with acute coronary syndrome were enrolled. The correlations of baseline characteristics with 30-day improvement, death, angina pectoris and heart failure were analyzed using unordered multivariate logistic regression. Results Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for 30-day death included age (OR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.07-1.34), diabetes (OR=19.41, 95%CI: 3.02-124.70), leukocytosis (OR=11.36, 95%CI: 1.87-69.11) and increased platelet (OR=7.72, 95%CI: 1.29-46.15). The independent risk factors for 30-day angina pectoris included leukocytosis (OR=2.35, 95%CI: 0.89-6.17) and dyslipidemia (OR=6.25, 95%CI: 2.11-18.48). The independent risk factors for the occurrence of heart failure during 30-day post-ACS included age (OR=1.10, 95%CI: 1.03-1.17), male (OR=4.18, 95%CI: 0.81-21.51), leukocytosis (OR=2.97, 95%CI: 1.09-8.14) and dyslipidemia (OR=7.69, 95%CI: 2.39-24.76). Conclusions Age, diabetes, leukocytosis and increased platelet are independent risk factors associated with 30-day death; Leukocytosis and dyslipidemia are independent risk factors associated with 30-day angina pectoris; Age, male, leukocytosis and dyslipidemia are the independent risk factors associated with 30-day heart failure.
