东方田鼠室内繁殖与生长发育观察

近年来,逐渐增多的小鼠突变系资源已对现有的动物设施和品种（系）的保存方法提出严峻的挑战,小鼠胚胎和配合子的低温保存是目前保存小鼠种群资源中应用最为广泛的方法,通过低温保存不仅使原有的或新开发的小鼠品系得以安全的,长期的保存下来,同时也使这些小 模型的规模化生产,推广普及变得更为简单化,无疑,小鼠模型的保存将为21世纪哺乳类遗传学的飞速发展和最终攻克人类目前的疑难疾病创造了有利条件。

Long non-coding RNA LINC01116 accelerates the progression of keloid formation by regulating miR-203/SMAD5 axis

BackgroundEmerging evidence reveals the importance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the development and progression of keloid formation. However, the roles and molecular mechanism of lncRNA LINC01116 in the progression of keloid formation remain largely unknown.MethodsThe expression levels of LINC01116, microRNA-203 (miR-203) and SMAD family member 5 (SMAD5) were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were detected by Cell counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assay and transwell assay. Flow cytometry and western blot assay were used to examine cell apoptosis and extracellular matrix (ECM) production. The interaction between miR-203 and LINC01116 or SMAD5 was predicted by bioinformatics analysis and verified by dual-luciferase reporter and RNA Immunoprecipitation (RIP) and RNA pull-down assays.ResultsLINC01116 and SMAD5 were upregulated while miR-203 was downregulated in keloid tissues and keloid fibroblasts. LINC01116 knockdown suppressed the proliferation, migration, invasion, and ECM production but induced apoptosis in keloid fibroblasts through enhancing miR-203 and inhibiting SMAD5. Moreover, SMAD5 was identified as a direct target of miR-203 and miR-203 could directly bind to LINC01116. Besides, LINC01116 regulated SMAD5 expression by targeting miR-203.ConclusionDownregulation of LINC01116 inhibited the progression of keloid formation by regulating miR-203/SMAD5 axis, which might provide a novel target for keloid therapy.     

Risks of AKI and Major Adverse Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or Coronavirus Disease 2019

BackgroundSevere acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are closely related. The effect of AKI on the clinical outcomes of these two conditions is unclear.MethodsThis retrospective, territory-wide cohort study used an electronic public healthcare database in Hong Kong to identify patients with SARS or COVID-19 by diagnosis codes, virologic results, or both. The primary endpoint was a composite of intensive care unit admission, use of invasive mechanical ventilation, and/or death.ResultsWe identified 1670 patients with SARS and 1040 patients with COVID-19 (median ages, 41 versus 35 years, respectively). Among patients with SARS, 26% met the primary endpoint versus 5.3% of those with COVID-19. Diabetes mellitus, abnormal liver function, and AKI were factors significantly associated with the primary endpoint among patients with either SARS or COVID-19. Among patients with SARS, 7.9%, 2.1%, and 3.7% developed stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 AKI, respectively; among those with COVID-19, 6.6%, 0.4%, and 1.1% developed stage 1, stage 2, and stage 3 AKI, respectively. In both groups, factors significantly associated with AKI included diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Among patients with AKI, those with COVID-19 had a lower rate of major adverse clinical outcomes versus patients with SARS. Renal function recovery usually occurred within 30 days after an initial AKI event.ConclusionsAKI rates were higher among patients with SARS than those with COVID-19. AKI was associated with major adverse clinical outcomes for both diseases. Patients with diabetes mellitus and abnormal liver function were also at risk of developing severe consequences after SARS and COVID-19 infection.

Phase Transformation Behavior of the Aluminosilicate Phase During High-Pressure Hydrothermal Reduction of High-Iron Red Mud

One-step separation and recovery of sodium, aluminum and iron in high-iron red mud in a high-calcium alkaline hydrothermal system is realized by a high-pressure hydrothermal reduction process. The transformation behavior of the aluminasilica phase in high-iron red mud is mainly investigated. The results show that under the optimized conditions, a temperature of 290℃, a Na₂O concentration of 240 g/L, a calcium to silicon ratio of 3.5, and a liquid–solid ratio of 5, the Na₂O content in the transition slag is reduced to 0.12%, the dealkalization rate can reach 98%, and the alumina dissolution rate is 73%. When the starch-free reductant is added, the transition slag mainly consists of hematite and hydroandradite, and when the starch reductant is added (the addition amount is 1/4 that of ω(Fe₂O₃) in the red mud), all Fe₂O₃ in the transition slag is completely reduced to Fe₃O₄, and the main phases are magnetite and hydrogrossular.

     

The introduction of treatment and the cultural adaptability of western psychotherapies for eating disorders in China

In the past 40 years, the prevalence of eating disorders (ED) in China has shown an increasing trend, leading to an urgent need to develop efficient treatment modes and methods. Since the beginning of the new century, the diagnosis, treatment, and research of ED in China have been under development. This article gives an introduction and commentary on the treatment modes, treatment methods and their applications in ED in China. There are two main treatment forms for ED until now, that is, inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment. Inpatient treatment is recommended as the first choice. Since 2008, clinical psychotherapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and family-based treatment (FBT), which are effective for pathological symptoms of ED, have been introduced into China and developed clinically. Group CBT and group DBT for patients with ED and group FBT for caregivers might be the most efficient psychotherapy in China nowadays. A multi-family FBT support group could be developed as the basic treatment of ED patients. Although these new types of psychotherapy have observed effectiveness in clinical application, the Randomized Controlled Trials (RCT) are rare and need to be developed.

家兔胸部火器伤后各组织中TNF-α表达意义

目的 用免疫组织化学方法检测家兔胸部火器伤后各组织中TNF-α的表达,探讨其伤后表达变化规律。方法 64只家兔随机均分8组,除正常对照组外均用5.56mm小口径步枪距离6m射击兔右下胸第八肋间锁骨中线外1cm处造成前后胸贯通伤,经指袢排气及消毒缝闭胸壁伤口等简单救治,致伤7组家兔分为伤后0.5,1,6,24和72h,7d,30d取材组,每只均取伤肺距伤道2mm处、1cm处,邻叶中部、与伤道对应的对侧肺处、左室壁、肝肾、脑、垂体、肾上腺取组织标本,行免疫组织化学染色检测组织TNF－α表达。结果 伤后0.5h各组织中TNF－α表达即升高（P＜0.01）,6h已达高峰,持续数天,7d后降低,30d后与伤前无明显差别。不同时间组同一组织TNF－α表达定位基本相同,而表达强度有所不同。结论 家兔胸部火器伤后各组织中TNF－α表达明显升高并与损伤时间密切相关,同一组织TNF－α表达定位基本相同,TNF-α在各组织中表达强度一定程度上反映了动物伤情。
