二叶式主动脉瓣中miRNA-195调控瓣膜钙化的机制研究

目的：探究二叶式主动脉瓣中miRNA-195调控瓣膜钙化的可能机制。方法：收集35例接受主动脉瓣置换术患者狭窄的二叶式或三叶式主动脉瓣,通过PCR及Western blot分别检测miRNA-195的表达量、果蝇母源抗皮肤生长因子（drosophila mothers against decapentaplegic 7,SMAD7）的mRNA及蛋白表达量。双荧光素酶法预测miRNA-195的靶基因。在猪瓣膜间质细胞中分别沉默和过表达miRNA-195,检测SMAD7的mRNA表达水平并探究两者的相互关系。在人类瓣膜组织上通过免疫组化染色检测基质金属蛋白酶（matrix metalloproteinase,MMP）-2、MMP-9蛋白水平,通过天狼星红染色检测胶原蛋白水平,通过Von Kossa染色比较钙化程度差异,进而研究钙化相关的功能改变。结果：与狭窄的三叶式主动脉瓣相比,狭窄的二叶式主动脉瓣中miRNA-195表达降低,SMAD7的mRNA和蛋白水平升高。双荧光素酶实验提示SMAD7是miRNA-195的直接靶标。在猪瓣膜间质细胞中沉默miRNA-195引起SMAD7 mRNA水平升高,过表达miRNA-195引起SMAD7 mRNA水平降低。狭窄钙化的二叶式主动脉瓣组织中MMP-2、MMP-9及胶原的表达较狭窄钙化的三叶式主动脉瓣升高。结论：在二叶式主动脉瓣中,下调的miRNA-195促进了SMAD7表达,进而促进细胞外基质的纤维化并最终促进其钙化。     

Synergy effect of CuO on CuCo2O4 for methane catalytic combustion

Spinel oxides (AB₂O₄) have been widely studied as catalysts for methane combustion. Increasing attention was focused on the catalysis properties of the [B₂O₃] octahedron; however, the role of the [AO] tetrahedron in the catalytic activity was seldom discussed. Herein, a series of (CuO)_x–CuCo₂O₄ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) composite oxides were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The structure, morphology, and physicochemical properties of the as-synthesized samples were characterized by the XRD, SEM, BET, and XPS techniques. The results of the catalytic activity tests showed that the coexistence of CuO with CuCo₂O₄ can improve the catalytic activity. The XPS results demonstrated that there were remarkable Cu⁺ ions present in the composite oxides, which can cause increases in the number of oxygen vacancies on the surface of the catalysts. In addition, the redox of Cu⁺ and Cu²⁺ may improve the oxygen exchange capacity for methane oxidation.

CuO and CuCo₂O₄ exhibit a synergistic effect in catalyzing methane combustion, which increases the oxidation rate of methane on the surface of (CuO)_0.2–CuCo₂O₄ composite oxide and decreasing the methane combustion temperature.     

Novel Amdoparvovirus Infecting Farmed Raccoon Dogs and Arctic Foxes

A new amdoparvovirus, named raccoon dog and fox amdoparvovirus (RFAV), was identified in farmed sick raccoon dogs and arctic foxes. Phylogenetic analyses showed that RFAV belongs to a new species within the genus Amdoparvovirus of the family Parvoviridae. An RFAV strain was isolated in Crandell feline kidney cell culture.     

Initial satisfying experience of total retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy: a retrospective comparative research

BackgroundRadical nephroureterectomy (RNU) is the principal method for treatment of high-risk upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). The transperitoneal approach is associated with poor disease progression, but the distal ureter-bladder cuff (DUBC) resection through retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach is difficult. This study proposed a modulated RNU technique, namely, total retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (tRLRNU), with its advantages of DUBC resection and requiring fewer trocars etc. The efficiency, safety, and short-term impacts were retrospectively compared with total transperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (tTLRNU).MethodsTotal of 12 patients who received tRLRNU and 28 patients who received tTLRNU were enrolled. The choice of surgical approach was random and their data were retrospectively analyzed. During tRLRNU, the laparoscope was versed towards the caudal direction and a retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterectomy was performed. The bladder cuff was entirely transected and the bladder incision was sutured. The tRLRNU cases were compared with the tTLRNU cases in terms of general clinical data, pathologic parameters, peri-operative parameters, adjuvant therapy, and short-term outcomes. The independent samples t-tests, chi-square tests, and Fischer exact tests were used to analyze the differences.ResultsThere were no significant differences in the basic patient characteristics between the 2 groups. The data were comparable. There were significantly fewer trocars utilized in tRLRNU group compared to tTLRNU group (P=0.0008). tRLRNU group experienced less blood loss (98.33±61.32 versus 170.71±121.32 mL; P=0.017), smaller drainage volume (182.08±163.60 versus 1,924.82±3,370.02 mL; P=0.011), and shorter extubation time (5.67±1.07 versus 8.57±6.96 days; P=0.040) compared to tRLRNU group. There were no statistically differences in the other peri-operative parameters, including whole operation time, transfusion, visceral and vascular injuries, open conversion, post-operative bleeding, recovery time of intestinal function, and discharge time. The patient outcomes in tTLRNU group at 6 months were significantly worse than that of tRLRNU group by comparing progression-free survival, progression survival and mortality (P=0.039).ConclusionsThe tRLRNU was potentially safer, minimally invasive, and more effective compared to the tTLRNU. Due to the small sample size, short follow-up time and no randomization of the study, future comparative studies are warranted to further analyze long-term outcomes of tRLRNU.

Non-interferometric volumetric imaging in living human retina by confocal oblique scanning laser ophthalmoscopy

Three-dimensional (3D) imaging of the human retina is instrumental in vision science and ophthalmology. While interferometric retinal imaging is well established by optical coherence tomography (OCT), non-interferometric volumetric imaging in the human retina has been challenging up to date. Here, we report confocal oblique scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (CoSLO) to fill that void and harness non-interferometric optical contrast in 3D. CoSLO decouples the illumination and detection by utilizing oblique laser scanning and oblique imaging to achieve ∼4x better axial resolution than conventional SLO. By combining remote focusing, CoSLO permits the acquisition of depth signals in parallel and over a large field of view. Confocal gating is introduced by a linear sensor array to improve the contrast and resolution. For the first time, we reported non-interferometric 3D human retinal imaging with >20° viewing angle, and revealed detailed features in the inner, outer retina, and choroid. CoSLO shows potential to be another useful technique by offering 3D non-interferometric contrasts.     

Transient directing group enabled Pd-catalyzed C–H oxygenation of benzaldehydes and benzylic amines

We report a general protocol for <i>ortho</i>-C–H fluoroalkoxylation of benzaldehydes and benzylic amines utilizing an inexpensive amino amide as a transient directing group. In the presence of an electrophilic fluorinating bystanding oxidant and fluorinated alcohols, a wide range of benzaldehydes and benzylic amines could be oxygenated selectively at the ortho positions to afford fluoroalkyl aryl ethers. This elegant approach would provide appealing strategies for synthesis of drug molecules and natural products.
