Transcriptome analysis and differential gene screening of Panax ginseng seed in different sand storage stages / 药学学报

Analyze the changes in gene expression profiles during the process of Panax ginseng seed dormancy release, and screen for differential genes, providing a basis for analyzing the mechanism of P. ginseng seed dormancy release. Comparative transcriptome analysis was conducted by using RNA-Seq sequencing technology in P. ginseng seeds stored at different low temperature. A total of 80.97 Gb of Raw reads and 80.19 Gb of Clean reads were obtained from the transcriptome. Principal component analysis and correlation analysis showed that there were significant differences in gene expression patterns at different developmental stages. Upset results showed that 46 248 unigenes were co-expressed in four stages, and 414, 445, 400 and 389 unigenes were specifically expressed in 0, 8,14 and 28 days, respectively. Gene Ontology functional annotation showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in nsaturated fatty acid biosynthetic process, nuclear body and oxidoreductase activity. Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes metabolic pathway showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in peroxisome, mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway-plant, plant hormone signal transduction, ribosome, biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acid, circadian rhythm-plant and other metabolic pathways. In the process of P. ginseng seed dormancy release, multiple biological processes, such as unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis and plant hormone signal transduction, are required to coordinate regulation, which constitutes a complex dormancy release regulation network. Transcriptome analysis and differential gene screening of P. ginseng seeds at different sand storage time laid a foundation for the analysis of P. ginseng seed dormancy release mechanism and molecular breeding.

Pathological features and diagnostic significance of lung biopsy in occupational lung diseases / 中华病理学杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of occupational lung diseases, to reduce the missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses of the diseases and to help standardize the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Methods: A total of 4 813 lung biopsy specimens (including 1 935 consultation cases) collected at the Department of Pathology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Nanjing, China from January 1st, 2017 to December 31th, 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 126 cases of occupational lung diseases were confirmed with clinical-radiological-pathological diagnosis. Special staining, PCR and scanning electron microscopy were also used to rule out the major differential diagnoses. Results: The 126 patients with occupational lung diseases included 102 males and 24 females. All of them had a history of exposure to occupational risk factor(s). Morphologically, 68.3% (86/126) of the cases mainly showed pulmonary fibrotic nodules, dust plaque formation or carbon end deposition in pulmonary parenchyma. 16.7% (21/126) of the cases mainly showed welding smoke particle deposition in the alveolar cavity and lung interstitium while 15.1% (19/126) of the cases showed granulomas with fibrous tissue hyperplasia, alveolar protein deposition or giant cell interstitial pneumonia. The qualitative and semi-quantitative analyses of residual dust components in the lung under scanning electron microscope were helpful for the diagnosis of welder's pneumoconiosis and hard metal lung disease. Conclusions: The morphological characteristics of lung biopsy tissue are important reference basis for the clinicopathological diagnosis and differential diagnosis of occupational lung diseases. Recognizing the characteristic morphology and proper use of auxiliary examination are the key to an accurate diagnosis of occupational lung diseases on biopsy specimens.

Effect of electroacupuncture of acupoints on the healthy limb (opposing needling) on acute skeletal muscle contusion in rats / 针刺研究

OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of "Zusanli" (ST36) and "Ashi"-point on the healthy side (opposing needling) on muscular injury and expression of myogenin (myoG) and fast myosin skeletal heavy chain (Fast MyHC) proteins in the gastrocnemius muscle (GM) tissues in skeletal muscle contusion rats，so as to explore its mechanism underlying improvement of skeletal muscle injury. METHODS: A total of 54 male SD rats were divided into normal control (n ＝ 6)，model (n＝24) and opposing needling (EA, n＝24) groups. The latter two groups were further randomized into 3, 5, 7 and 14 d subgroups (n＝6 per subgroup). The skeletal muscle contusion model of the hind-limb was established by using a self-made striking device. EA (1 Hz/3 Hz，1－2 mA) was applied to ST36 and "Ashi"-point on the uninjured side of the hind-limb for 15 min every time, once a day for 3, 5, 7 and 14 days, respectively. The injured GM was harvested on the 3rd, 5th, 7th and 14th day after muscular contusion. The morphological changes of the injured GM and the mean cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the neonatal muscle cells were observed by microscope after H．E. staining. The immunoactivity of desmin protein (myogenic marker protein of myoblast cell) of GM was detected by immunofluorescence stain on the 7th day after injury, and the expression levels of myoG (on the 3rd and 5th day after injury) and fast MyHC protein of GM tissues (on the 7thand 14th day after injury) were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: H．E. staining of GS tissue showed fewer neuronal myocytes with disordered arrangement at different sizes, and appearance of some collagenous fibers among the mesenchyme on day 7 and 14 after muscular contusion, which was relatively milder in the EA group. In the EA group, the CSA values of the neonatal muscle cells were significantly larger than those in the model group on the day 7th (P0.05). On the 3rd and 5th day after muscular contusion, the expression level of myoG protein was significantly up-regulated in the model group compared with the normal control group (P<0.001), and significantly up-regulated in the EA group than that in the model group (P<0.001). On the 7th and14th day after contusion, the expression level of fast MyHC protein was significantly down-regulated in the model group relevant to the normal control group (P<0.001), and markedly up-regulated in the EA group relevant to the model group (P<0.01)．. CONCLUSION: EA of ST36 and "Ashi"-point on the contralateral limb can up-regulate the expression of myoG and fast MyHC proteins of GM in acute skeletal muscle contusion rats, which may contribute to its effect in promoting the repair of skeletal muscle injury.

Efficient Detection of Environmental Estrogens Bisphenol A and Estradiol By Sensing System Based on AuNP-AuNP-UCNP Triple Structure / 分析化学

A sensing system based on AuNP-AuNP-UCNP triple structure for efficient detection of dual targets was constructed. In the preparation of triple structure, the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and upconversion nanoparticles (NaYF4: Yb, Er, Gd, UCNPs) were synthesized and surface modified. Then the two nanoparticles and their aptamers were connected to form two kinds of optical fluorescent probes. A nucleic acid sequence that matches with two aptamers was designed, rendering the probes to get close based on the principle of complementary base pairing. On the basis of this, a sensing system with a triple structure was prepared,and its connecting effect was characterized by TEM. With this system, dual targets of bisphenol A and estradiol were efficiently and conveniently detected through quantitative determination by fluorescence and UV spectrophotometer. At reaction temperature of 30℃ and pH=7.8,this method exhibited good linear range for determination of bisphenol A and estradiol from 2 ng/mL to 200 ng/mL and from 10 ng/mL to 150 ng/mL, with limits of detection of 0.2 ng/mL and 0.5 ng/mL, respectively. This sensing system with the triple structure owned better specificity to structural and functional analogues, and showed good repeatability and stability. What's more,this sensing system was applied in actual water detection,with the recoveries between 86.1% and 107. 4%, and the relative standard deviation below 6. 8%. This method showed promising applications in other environmental estrogens in water samples.

The Effect of Electroacupuncture Combined with Treadmill Training on Skeletal Muscle Contusion in Rats / 针刺研究

OBJECTIVE: To study the effect and mechanism of electroacupuncture(EA)combined with treadmill training in rats with skeletal muscle contusion. METHODS: A total of sixty Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal,model, EA, treadmill, and combination groups (n=12/group). The self-made striking device was used to establish skeletal muscle contusion model. EA was applied at "Zusanli" (ST 36) and Ashi point in the EA group. Treadmill was applied to train rats in the treadmill group. Rats in the combination group were received the above two methods. All the treatment was given once a day until the 3rd and 14th days after injury. The cross-sectional area and diameter of neonatal gastrocnemius muscle cells 14 days after injury were observed by HE staining. The expression levels of mammalian target of rapamycil (mTOR), myogenin (myoG) in gastrocnemius 3 days after injury and gastrocnemius mTOR, Fast myosin skeletal heavy chain (Fast MyHC) 14 days after injury were observed by Western blot. RESULTS: The cross-sectional area and diameter of neonatal muscle gastrocnemius cells in the model group were significantly lower than those in the normal group (P<0.01), and those in all the intervention groups were significantly higher than those of the model group (P<0.05), with better results in the combination group compared with those in the EA and treadmill groups (P<0.05). On the 3rd day after injury, the expressions of mTOR and myoG proteins in the model group were significantly higher compared with those in the normal group (P<0.01), and those in all the intervention groups were up-regulated in comparison with the model group (all P<0.01). The mTOR and myoG proteins in the treadmill group were lower than those in the EA group (P<0.01). The above two indexes in the combination group were higher than those in the EA and treadmill groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). On the 14th day after injury, the expression of mTOR was up-regulated in the model group compared with that in the normal group, but without significant difference (P<0.05), while the expression of Fast MyHC decreased (P<0.01). The expressions of mTOR and Fast MyHC in all the intervention groups increased compared with those in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The expressions of mTOR and Fast MyHC proteins in the treadmill group were significantly down-regulated compared with those in the EA group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The two indexes in the combination group were higher than those in the other two intervention groups (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: EA combined with treadmill training can improve the myogenic differentiation and maturation, alleviate the injury of skeletal muscle, which may be related to its effect of increasing the expression of mTOR protein and positively regulating myoG and Fast MyHC proteins.

Plasma D-dimer Can Effectively Predict the Prospective Occurrence of Ascites in Advanced Schistosomiasis Japonica Patients

China still has more than 30,000 patients of advanced schistosomiasis while new cases being reported consistently. D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product. As ascites being the dominating symptom in advanced schistosomiasis, the present study aimed to explore a prediction model of ascites with D-dimer and other clinical easy-achievable indicators. A case-control study nested in a prospective cohort was conducted in schistosomiasis-endemic area of southern China. A total of 291 patients of advanced schistosomiasis were first investigated in 2013 and further followed in 2014. Information on clinical history, physical examination, and abdominal ultrasonography, including the symptom of ascites was repeatedly collected. Result showed 44 patients having ascites. Most of the patients' ascites were confined in the kidney area with median area of 20 mm². The level of plasma D-dimer and pertinent liver function indicators were measured at the initial investigation in 2013. Compared with those without ascites, cases with ascites had significantly higher levels of D-dimer (0.71±2.44 μg/L vs 0.48±2.12 μg/L, P=0.005), as well ALB (44.5 vs 46.2, g/L) and Type IV collagen (50.04 vs 44.50 μg/L). Receiver operating characteristic curve analyses indicated a moderate predictive value of D-dimer by its own area under curve (AUC) of 0.64 (95% CI: 0.54–0.73) and the cutoff value as 0.81 μg/L. Dichotomized by the cutoff level, D-dimer along with other categorical variables generated a prediction model with AUC of 0.76 (95% CI: 0.68–0.89). Risks of patients with specific characteristics in the prediction model were summarized. Our study suggests that the plasma D-dimer level is a reliable predictor for incident ascites in advanced schistosomiasis japonica patients.

Using the cumulative odds Logit model to explore the application of the questionnaire derived from PANSS / 药学学报

Currently, aripiprazole, olanzapine and risperidone are three anti-psychiatry agents commonly used in the treatment of schizophrenia. Although the efficacy of these drugs is good, schizophrenia cannot be completely cured yet. Patients need long-term medication. The family members of patients may play a key role to understand the disease status of patients after patient discharge from hospital. PANSS is a commonly used scale in the clinic to evaluate the disease status and drug effects of anti-psychiatry agents. It was professionally written, and is not user friendly to amateurs. In the previous study, we developed a questionnaire for patient's family members to monitor the disease status. In this study, we explored the correlations between the results of questionnaire and 5 kinds of disease state corresponding to different PANSS score interval using the cumulative odds Logit model. The final results show that the model had relatively good prediction ability for aripiprazole, olanzapine and risperidone, suggesting that the questionnaire has an extensive prospect of clinical applications.

Distribution Characteristics of Spermophilus dauricus in Manchuria City in China in 2015 through '3S' Technology / 生物医学与环境科学（英文）

Plague is a virulent infectious disease in China. In this study, '3S' technology was used to perform spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial interpolation analysis for Spermophilus dauricus (S. Dauricus, a species of ground squirrel) captured in Manchuria City in 2015. The results were visually inspected. During the two-month (May to July) plague surveillance in 2015, 198 S. dauricus individuals were captured in the study area in Manchuria City (48 monitoring areas) by using a day-by-day catching method. Spatial autocorrelation was conducted using the ArcGIS software, and the following significantly different results were obtained: Moran's I=0.228472, Z-score=2.889126, and P<0.05. Thus, a spatial aggregation was observed. In 2015, the distribution of S. dauricus diminished from west to east and from north to south of Manchuria. Geo Detector software was used to analyze the habitat factors affecting the spatial distribution of S. dauricus. This highly clustered species mainly exists in suburban communities, construction sites, and areas surrounding factories. In future studies, plague surveillances should be performed in areas around Manchuria and Zhalainuoer.

Flurbiprofen axetil preemptive analgesia for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystotomy: A clinical observation / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the effect and safety of flurbiprofen axetil preemptive analgesia for patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystotomy. Methods Sixty patients of ASA I- II undergoing selective laparoscopic cholecystotomy were randomly assigned to two groups: either to receive flurbiprofen axetil100 mg (flurbiprofen axetil group, n=30)or normal saline 10 mL (control group, n=30) before operation. Postoperative pain was treated by patient-controlled intravenous fentanyl analgesia. The extubation time, recovery time, and sedation-agitation scale (SAS) scores were estimated immediately after anesthesia. Postoperative fentanyl doses, side effects and the visual analgesia scale scores were recorded at 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h after operation. Results The SAS score, VAS scores immediately after extubation and at different time points after operation in flurbiprofen axetil group were significantly lower than those in control group CP<0. 05). The flurbiprofen axetil group had significantly lower total dose of fentanyl (0-24 h after surgery) and significantly less nausea and vomiting than the control group CP< 0. 05). There were no significant differences in the extubation time and recovery time between the two groups. Conclusion Flurbiprofen axetil preemptive analgesia can alleviate acute postoperative pain of laparoscopic cholecystotomy, with no obvious adverse effect and without increasing the recovery time, making it worth popularizing in clinical practice.

Mobile emergency (surgical) hospital: Development and application in medical relief of "4.20" Lushan earthquake in Sichuan Province, China / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

In the 21st century, natural disasters and emergencies occur frequently worldwide, which leads to the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives as well as the direct and indirect economic losses. China has a vast territory frequently struck by natural disasters. However, the reality is not optimistic. Poor organization and management during the rescue actions, the lack of large-scale, systematic medical rescue equipment were all great barriers to the outcomes. Mobile hospitals are expected to provide better health care. We were inspired by the concept of mobile hospital. Chongqing Emergency Medical Center, has set up trauma care system since 1988, in which prehospital care, intensive care, and in-hospital treatment is fully integrated. As a major advantage, such a system provided assurance of "golden hour" rescue treatment. Providing mobile intensive care and prehospital surgical service for severe trauma patients could reduce mortality significantly. Based on the civilian experiences in Chongqing Emergency Medical Center, the mobile emergency (surgical) hospital was developed.

The effect of miR-124 on homocysteine-induced atherosclerosis via promoter region DNA methylation in ApoE(-/-) mice / 生理学报

The aim of the present study is to explore the role of miR-124 and its promoter region DNA methylation in homocysteine (Hcy)-induced atherosclerosis. ApoE(-/-) mice were fed with hypermethionine diet for 16 weeks to duplicate hyperhomocysteinemia model. Meanwhile, a normal control group (C57BL/6J mice fed with normal diet, N-control) and a model control group (ApoE(-/-) mice fed with normal diet, A-control) were set. The degree of atherosclerosis was observed by HE and oil red O staining. Automatic biochemical analyzer was used to detect the serum levels of Hcy. Foam cell model was duplicated and oil red O staining was used to confirm whether the model was successfully established. And foam cells were stimulated with 0, 50, 100, 200, 500 μmol/L Hcy and 50 μmol/L Hcy + 10 μmol/L AZC respectively. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expressions of miR-124 in mice aorta and foam cells; Nested landing methylation specific PCR (nMS-PCR) was used to detect the levels of miR-124 promoter DNA methylation in mice aorta and foam cells. Meanwhile, the effects of DNA methylation inhibitor AZC on miR-124 expression were observed at the cellular level. The effect of miR-124 promoter DNA methylation status on lipid accumulation in foam cells was observed by oil red O staining. The results showed that compared with model control group, the serum levels of Hcy in high methionine group were significantly increased (P < 0.01) and developed aortic atherosclerotic plaque, the expression of miR-124 was markedly decreased (P < 0.01), while the levels of miR-124 promoter DNA methylation were significantly increased (P < 0.01). Given different levels of Hcy, the expression of miR-124 in foam cells was decreased, while the levels of miR-124 promoter DNA methylation were increased in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). AZC reversed the results of mentioned indices as above markedly (P < 0.05). Downregulation of miR-124 may play a role in Hcy-induced atherosclerosis and its promoter DNA methylation status may be an important mechanism in this process.
