Cas9 is a RNA-guided double stranded DNA nuclease that participates in the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Wide-type Cas9 directly silences the expression of target gene by gene splicing. The engineered dCas9 protein with the mutation at D10A and H840A lacks the Cas9' s endonuclease function but keeps its DNA binding activity. dCas9 can activate special genes by fusing with transcription activator. Meanwhile,it can inhibit the gene transcription by directly binding to the target gene and stop gene transcrip?tion. Combination of light sensitive structures and CRISPR can produce light-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system for control of gene expres?sion. This system is able to activate or inhibit gene expression via the use of controlling blue light(470 nm). In this review,we mainly discuss the development of the light inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system as well as its application in the control of gene expression.

Objective To investigate the the multi-directional differentiation potential between pluripotent of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and human periodontal ligament cells (HPDLCs). Methods HPDLCs and HGFs were obtained from the primary culture. HPDLCs and HGFs at 3rd-4th passage were cultured in osteogenic, adipogenic or chondrogenic me-dium. Cells without differentiation were taken as control. Alizarin red, Alcian blue and oil red O staining were performed to detect osteogenic differentiation, chondrogenic and adipogenic differentiation in vitro, respectively. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was applied to examine the expression of osteocalcin (OCN), runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2) and collagen 1 (Col 1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARγ2) and collagen 10 (Col 10). Results HPDLCs and HGFs cultured in osteogenic medium showed massive calicium nodulus at day 28, but HP-DLCs formed more calicium nodulus than those of HGFs. The expressions of OCN, RUNX2 and Col 1 were significantly high-er in HPDLCs than those in HGFs (P<0.05). In chondrogenic medium both cells were found blue deposit at day 14, and the expression of Col 10 was significantly higher in HGFs than that of HPDLCs (P<0.01). Furthermore, in adipogenic medium HGFs showed more lipid-filled droplets stained with oil red O than HPDLCs at day 21. The expression of PPARγ2 was sig-nificantly higher in HGFs than that of HPDLCs (P<0.01). Conclusion HPDLCs has the better potency of osteogenic differ-etiation than HGFs, however, HGFs has the better potency of adipogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.

Objective To analyze the virulence genes and drug resistance in Vibrio parahaemolyti-cus strains isolated in Nantong City from 2015 to 2016 in order to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection and for rational use of medicines. Methods Virulence genes of tlh,tdh and trh in Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR. Micro-broth dilution method was used to analyze antimicrobial resistance in these strains to 15 kinds of antibiotics. Results Eighty-two Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were all positive for tlh gene and negative for trh gene and among them,72 carried tdh gene (87.8%). Antimicrobial resistance rates of these strains to ampicil-lin,cefazolin,tetracycline and chloramphenicol were all 1.2% (1/82). Two strains (2.4%) were resist-ant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole. All strains were sensitive or intermediate to another 10 kinds of antibi-otics. Conclusion From 2015 to 2016,Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains carrying virulence genes of tlh and tdh were prevalent in Nantong and no trh gene-positive strains were reported. Except ampicillin, cefazolin, tetracycline,chloramphenicol and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole these five kinds of antibiotics, the remai-ning 10 kinds of antibiotics were effective against Vibrio parahaemolyticus and could be used as the treatment of choice.

Objective:To investigate the value of nomogram based on intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) and MRI-derived radiomics for predicting recurrence after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).Methods:Clinical data of 111 patients with ⅠB-ⅣA cervical cancer who underwent CCRT at Anhui Provincial Hospital from December 2014 to December 2019 and were continuously followed up were retrospectively analyzed. Pre-treatment IVIM-DWI parameters (ADC, D, D * and f) and pre- and post-treatment 3D texture parameters (from axial T 2WI) of the primary lesions were measured. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to filter texture features and calculate radiomics score (Rad-score). A Cox regression model was used to analyze independent risk factors for recurrence after CCRT in patients with LACC and construct a nomogram. Results:External beam radiotherapy dose, f value , pre-treatment Rad-score and post-treatment Rad-score ( HR=0.204, 3.253, 2.544, 7.576) were the independent prognostic factors for recurrence after CCRT in cervical cancer patients and jointly formed the nomogram. The area under curve (AUC) of the nomogram for predicting 1-, 3- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) was 0.895, 0.888 and 0.916, with internal validation C-indexes of 0.859, 0.903 and 0.867, respectively. The decision curves analysis showed that the nomogram has a higher net clinical benefit compared to other models, and the clinical impact curves further visualized its predictive accuracy. Conclusions:The nomogam based on IVIM-DWI and radiomics has high clinical value in predicting recurrence after CCRT in patients with LACC, providing reference for prognostic assessment and individualized treatment of cervical cancer patients.

Objective:To investigate the value of nomograms based on clinical parameters, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and MRI-derived radiomics in predicting survival of patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT).Methods:Clinical data of 423 patients with IB-IVA cervical cancer treated with CCRT at Anhui Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from March 2014 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into the training and validation groups at a ratio of 2∶1 using the simple randomization method. The values of ADC min, ADC mean, ADC max and 3D texture parameters of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), T 2WI, T 2WI-fat suppression of pre-treatment primary lesions in all patients were measured. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm and logistic regression analysis were used to screen the texture features and calculate radiomics score (Rad-score). Cox regression analysis was employed to construct nomogram models for predicting overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CS) of patients with LACC after CCRT, which were subject to internal and external validation. Results:Squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag), external beam radiotherapy dose, ADCmin and Rad-score were the independent prognostic factors for OS and CS of LACC patients after CCRT and constituted predictive models for OS and CS. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of two models in predicting 1-year, 3-year, 5-year OS and CS was 0.906, 0.917, 0.916 and 0.911, 0.918, 0.920, with internally validated consistency indexes (C-indexes) of 0.897 and 0.900. Then, models were brought into the validation group for external validation with AUC of 0.986, 0.942, 0.932 and 0.986, 0.933, 0.926 in predicting 1-year, 3-year, 5-year OS and CS.Conclusion:The nomograms based on clinical parameters, ADC values and MRI-derived radiomics are of high clinical value in predicting OS and CS of patients with LACC after CCRT, which can be used as prognostic markers for patients with cervical cancer to certain extent.
