A tetracycline-regulatable adeno-associated virus vector for double-gene transfer

An increasing demand for polycistronic vectors that express multiple genes simultaneously has arisen in recent years to obtain an efficient gene therapy. Armed with the knowledge that the expression of transgene in mammalian cells often requires tight control, we constructed in this study a tetracycline-regulated double-gene adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector carrying green and red fluorescent protein genes and expressed it in PC12 cells. When detected by fluorescence microscope and fluorescence-activated cell sorting, gene expression was induced by 44-66-fold and could be reversibly controlled by doxycycline. This double-gene AAV vector may be useful for regulated expression of two genes or a marker to monitor transgene expression.     

Morphological brain changes associated with Schneider's first-rank symptoms in schizophrenia: a MRI study

BACKGROUND: Schneider's first-rank symptoms involve an alienated feature of the sense of one's own mental or physical activity. To clarify the brain morphological basis for the production of these symptoms, volumes of the frontal and medial temporal regions and their clinical correlates were examined in patients with schizophrenia. METHOD: Twenty-two patients with schizophrenia and 44 age- and gender-matched healthy control subjects were included. All patients were in their psychotic episodes with definite Schneiderian symptoms, rated by using the Scale for Assessment of Positive Symptoms. Volumetric measurements of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging were performed in the prefrontal area, cingulate gyrus, and precentral gyrus, and the medial temporal structures such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and parahippocampal gyrus. RESULTS: Patients had significantly decreased volumes in the cingulate gray matter and the amygdala compared to controls. In the patient group, Schneiderian symptom severity showed significant inverse correlations with volumes of the right posterior cingulate gray matter and of the left anterior parahippocampal gyrus. CONCLUSIONS: Schneiderian symptoms may be associated with morphological abnormalities in the limbic-paralimbic regions such as the cingulate gyrus and parahippocampal gyrus, which possibly serve the self-monitoring function and the coherent storage and reactivation of information.

基于《辅行诀五脏用药法要》探讨乌梅丸论治情志病

乌梅丸载于《伤寒杂病论》厥阴篇,历代医家多认为其有温脏安蛔之功,临床应用范围较为局限,自清代医家柯琴提出其为厥阴病之主方后乌梅丸才被医家重视,其临床应用亦得以拓展。乌梅丸证之成因,实则归于厥阴风木气运失常,阴阳不相顺接,而非仅为蛔虫内扰所致。以《黄帝内经》“开阖枢”理论分析六经之功能,并结合《伤寒杂病论》原文可证“阴枢”实为厥阴,乌梅丸为厥阴病之主方,有顺接阴阳之功,故其可治疗厥阴枢机不利,寒热错杂之证。《辅行诀五脏用药法要》与《伤寒杂病论》二者同源,均参考了《汤液经法》所载内容,《辅行诀五脏用药法要》中补泻诸方及救逆方之组成有规律可寻,均依文中所载“汤液经法图”而成,与五行理论密切相关。该文通过探索“汤液经法图”组方规律及药物五行归属,以“汤液经法图”组方规律剖析乌梅丸,可证乌梅丸主要作用于肝、脾、心三脏,依黄帝内经五脏藏神理论,此三脏与情志调节密切相关,故以乌梅丸论治厥阴枢机不利、寒热错杂所致之情志病有据可循,文末亦列举概述近年乌梅丸治疗情志病的报道。该文为临床应用乌梅丸治疗情志病提供了思路及依据,扩展了其应用范围,古方亦能为今用。     

Building a Methodological Foundation for Impactful Urban Planetary Health Science

Anthropogenic environmental change will heavily impact cities, yet associated health risks will depend significantly on decisions made by urban leaders across a wide range of non-health sectors, including transport, energy, housing, basic urban services, and others. A subset of planetary health researchers focus on understanding the urban health impacts of global environmental change, and how these vary globally and within cities. Such researchers increasingly adopt collaborative transdisciplinary approaches to engage policy-makers, private citizens, and other actors in identifying and evaluating potential policy solutions that will reduce environmental impacts in ways that simultaneously promote health, equity, and/or local economies—in other words, maximising ‘co-benefits’. This report presents observations from a participatory workshop focused on challenges and opportunities for urban planetary health research. The workshop, held at the 16th International Conference on Urban Health (ICUH) in Xiamen, China, in November 2019, brought together 49 participants and covered topics related to collaboration, data, and research impact. It featured research projects funded by the Wellcome Trust’s Our Planet Our Health (OPOH) programme. This report aims to concisely summarise and disseminate participants’ collective contributions to current methodological practice in urban planetary health research.
