Objective To study the liver pathomorphological and serum biochemical changes in Beagle dog with spontaneous hepatocirrhosis and establish the backgroud information of experimental animals for GLP .Methods The ALT, AST,TP,ALB, ALP, TBIL, TC, TG and GGT were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer , and compared the differences of above index between blank control and diseased animal .The histological changes of the liver were observed by optical microscopy.Results Compared with the blank control ,the ALT,AST,ALP,TBIL and GGT of diseased dogs were increased significantly , and the ALB decreased significantly .Compared with normal dogs , the liver cells had nodular regeneration , arranged irregularly and pseudolobule formation .The pseudolobules were packaged with collagen fibers . Conclusion It is suggested that spontaneous lesions in Beagle dogs should be monitored so as to provide appropriate experimental animal histopathologicalbackgroud information for drug safety evaluation .

Objective To study the natural developing characteristics of language skill of the autistic children. Methods 300 untreated autism children were included. Their developmental characteristics of individuals were evaluated by the Psycho-Educational Profile-Revised (PEP-R). Results The developmental quotient of most children (89.33%) was less than 70. And the developmental quotient gradually decreased with age (P<0.01). The scores of language performance and language verbal were deviation (P<0.01). Conclusion Language characteristics of autistic children without treatment is abnormal in development progress and order, and the situation would be worse with age.

Objective To evaluate the role of local gyrification index (LGI) in the early diagnosis of Alzheimer disease(AD). Methods Thirty‐five amnestic‐type mild cognitive impairment patients (aMCI group), 34 mild AD patients (mild AD group) and 33 healthy volunteers (normal control group) were studied. All patients underwent high resolution MRI examination and mini‐mental state examination (MMSE). Using surface‐based morphometry, the FreeSurfer was employed to access LGI of vertex over every participant′s whole cortical surface, then we calculated the mean LGI (mLGI) of each subject′s left and right hemisphere separately. Taking age, gender and educational year as covariance, analysis of covariance was used to compare the difference of mLGI of left and right brain among 3 groups, then Bonferroni was done between every two groups. Analysis of covariance was applied to compare the difference of LGI of every participant among 3 groups, and Monte Carlo method was employed to perform multiple comparison corrections. The correlations between the MMSE scores and LGIs of the three groups were analyzed. Results Compared with normal control group(left 3.03±0.12,right 3.02±0.13), the mLGI of hemispheres in mild AD group(left 2.94±0.11,right 2.93±0.10) decreased respectively(P<0.05). The difference of mLGI of hemispheres between aMCI group(left 2.96 ± 0.10, right 2.96 ± 0.09) and normal control group had no statistical significance(P>0.05). The difference of mLGI of hemispheres between aMCI group and mild AD group also had no statistical significance(P>0.05). The aMCI group showed decrease of LGI in some brain regions located at the right temporal lobe, bilateral frontal and parietal lobe compared with the normal control group. While compared with aMCI group, decreased LGIs was presented in some brain regions located at bilateral temporal, occipital, frontal lobe and the right parietal lobe of mild AD group. There was a positive correlation between MMSE scores and LGIs of some brain regions in the bilateral temporal, occipital lobe, the left frontal lobe and the right parietal lobe in the three groups. Conclusion LGI is conductive in the early diagnosis of AD and can serve as an imaging marker for monitoring disease progresses.

Objective: To investigate the antigenic epitope prediction method of hemagglutinin (HA) protein of influenza A (H1N1) virus. Methods: BALB/c mice were conventionally immunized with influenza H1N1 vaccine. The splenocytes from the immunized mouse were fused with SP2/0 mouse myeloma cell line, and then the antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were obtained by screening hybridoma supernatants. ELISA blocking test was used to detect the blocking result of each monoclonal antibody, which was labeled by horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The light and heavy chain variable region genes of each antibody were cloned, the amino acid sites of the antibody-binding HA antigen epitope were predicted by computer simulation. Results: Three hybridoma cell lines of stable secreting anti-H1N1 influenza virus HA protein were obtained.Three mAbs were divided into two categories by ELISA blocking tests, which were divided into two categories according to preliminary results of computer simulation. Conclusions ELISA blocking test and computer simulation prediction can prove each other in predication of the antigenic epitopes of HA protein of H1N1 influenza virus.

The TEA domain (TEAD) family proteins (TEAD1‒4) are essential transcription factors that control cell differentiation and organ size in the Hippo pathway. Although the sequences and structures of TEAD family proteins are highly conserved, each TEAD isoform has unique physiological and pathological functions. Therefore, the development and discovery of subtype selective inhibitors for TEAD protein will provide important chemical probes for the TEAD-related function studies in development and diseases. Here, we identified a novel TEAD1/3 covalent inhibitor (DC-TEADin1072) with biochemical IC
