Extract from Ruppia rostellata Koch was divided into three parts: petroleum ether part, CH2Cl2 and water-soluble part. Each part of them was studied upon it's antioxidation. The results indicated that the active compounds were only in the water-soluble part. In soybean oil, the antioxidation of water-soluble part was stronger than that of BHA and V. E. , In lard, the antioxidation of water-solubile part was a little weaker than that of BHA and V.E.

Human echinococcosis is a zoonotic larval cestode disease usually caused by Echinococcus granulosus or E. multilocularis. Infection is chronic taking years for symptoms to develop. Because diagnosis and treatment are difficult and reservoirs of infection are maintained in domestic livestock, dogs or wildlife, the disease is difficult to assess in terms of public health and requires long-term control interventions. Estimates of numbers of cystic echinococcosis cases that may occur in 2 large endemic zones, North Africa⁄Middle East and China⁄Central Asia, indicates > 423,000 and > 484,000 cases respectively. Globally, 3.6 million DALYs could be lost due to echinoccocosis. Echinococcosis is therefore a neglected disease which is under-reported and requires urgent attention in common with a number of other zoonoses in order to reduce morbidity and to help alleviate poverty in poor pastoral areas of the sub-tropics and temperate zones

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the molecular pathogenesis of a Chinese pedigree affected with inherited protein C (PC) deficiency.
METHODS:
The protein C activity (PC:A) and protein C antigen (PC:Ag) of the proband and his family members were determined by a chromogenic substrate method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The proband was subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of other members of the pedigree.
RESULTS:
The PC:A and PC:Ag of proband were reduced to 15% and 11%, respectively. The above parameters of his parents and elder sister were also decreased to approximately 50% of reference values. Next generation sequencing has revealed that the proband has harbored a heterozygous c.572_574delAGA (p.Glu191_Lys192delinsGlu) variant in exon 7 and a missense c.752C>T (p.Ala251Val) variant in exon 8 of the PROC gene. His father was heterozygous for the c.572_574delAGA variant, while his mother and elder sister were heterozygous for the c.752C>T variant. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Standards and Guidelines, the c.572_574delAGA (p.Glu191_Lys192 delinsGlu) variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PS1+PM4+PP3). c.752 C>T (p.Ala251Val) variant was also likely pathogenic (PS1+PM1+PP3).
CONCLUSION
The deletional variant of c.572_574delAGA (p.Glu191_Lys192delinsGlu) in exon 7 and missense variant c.752C>T (p.Ala251Val) in exon 8 of the PROC gene probably underlay the inherited protein C (PC) deficiency in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of PROC gene variants and provided a basis for genetic counseling for this pedigree.

Objective:To investigate the serotype distribution and phylogenetic analysis of virus complete genome from indigenous dengue patients in Guangzhou in 2019 and provide evidence for the development of prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:Dengue virus serotypes of indigenous dengue cases in 2019 were detected using serotype specific fluorescent PCR kits. Complete genome in the culture was performed on Illumina platform. Phylogenetic analysis was conducted on complete genomes extracted from ViPR and the isolates from this study with MEGA7.0 software.Results:In 2019, three prevalent serotypes of dengue virus were found in Guangzhou, among which serotype 1 accounted for 80.35%, serotype 2 accounted for 12.97% and serotype 3 accounted for 6.68%. There were no significant differences in gender, age and severity among three serotypes. Phylogenetic analysis of virus complete genome showed that serotype 1 belonged to genotypeⅠand had two origins, which was close to the Cambodian strain; serotype 2 belonged to genotype cosmopolitan, which was close to the epidemic strain in Southeast Asia; serotype 3 belonged to genotypeⅢ, which was in the same branch as the Indian strain.Conclusions:The dengue epidemic was caused by dengue virus serotypes 1, 2 and 3 in Guangzhou in 2019. Each serotype belonged to a genotype.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a child with facial dysmorphism and multiple malformations.
METHODS:
The child, born at 34+6 weeks' gestation due to premature rupture of amniotic membrane, dichorionic diamniotic twinning and gestational diabetes, was subjected to chromosomal karyotyping analysis and copy number variations sequencing (CNV-seq).
RESULTS:
The child was found to have facial dysmorphism, hypospadia, cryptorchidism and hypotonia. He was found to have a 46,XY,del(3)(p26) karyotype in addition with a 9.80 Mb deletion (chr3: 60 000-9 860 000) encompassing 33 protein coding genes.
CONCLUSION
The 3p26.3p25.3 deletion probably underlay the multiple malformations in this child. Continuous follow-up is required to improve his quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the genetic basis for a Chinese pedigree with 6q26q27 microduplication and 15q26.3 microdeletion.
METHODS:
A fetus with a 6q26q27 microduplication and a 15q26.3 microdeletion diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in January 2021 and members of its pedigree were selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the fetus was collected. The fetus and its parents were analyzed by G-banding karyotyping and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA), and its maternal grandparents were also subjected to G-banding karyotype analysis.
RESULTS:
Prenatal ultrasound had indicated intrauterine growth retardation of the fetus, though no karyotypic abnormality was found with the amniotic fluid sample and blood samples from its pedigree members. CMA revealed that the fetus has carried a 6.6 Mb microduplication in 6q26q27 and a 1.9 Mb microdeletion in 15q26.3, and his mother also carried a 6.49 duplication and a 1.867 deletion in the same region. No anomaly was found with its father.
CONCLUSION
The 6q26q27 microduplication and 15q26.3 microdeletion probably underlay the intrauterine growth retardation in this fetus.

Transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) is a ubiquitous multifunctional protein, which is related to the adhesion of different cells and tumor formation. Previous studies found that TGM2 is involved in the interaction between host cells and viruses, but the effect of TGM2 on the proliferation of influenza virus in cells has not been reported. To explore the effect of TGM2 during H1N1 subtype influenza virus infection, a stable MDCK cell line with TGM2 overexpression and a knockout cell line were constructed. The mRNA and protein expression levels of NP and NS1 as well as the virus titer were measured at 48 hours after pot-infection with H1N1 subtype influenza virus. The results showed that overexpression of TGM2 effectively inhibited the expression of NP and NS1 genes of H1N1 subtype influenza virus, while knockout of TGM2 up-regulated the expression of the NP and NS1 genes, and the expression of the NP at protein level was consistent with that at mRNA level. Virus proliferation curve showed that the titer of H1N1 subtype influenza virus decreased significantly upon TGM2 overexpression. On the contrary, the virus titer in TGM2 knockout cells reached the peak at 48 h, which further proved that TGM2 was involved in the inhibition of H1N1 subtype influenza virus proliferation in MDCK cells. By analyzing the expression of genes downstream of influenza virus response signaling pathway, we found that TGM2 may inhibit the proliferation of H1N1 subtype influenza virus by promoting the activation of JAK-STAT molecular pathway and inhibiting RIG-1 signaling pathway. The above findings are of great significance for revealing the mechanism underlying the interactions between host cells and virus and establishing a genetically engineering cell line for high-yield influenza vaccine production of influenza virus.
