Objective To study the effect of Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ on development of mouse preimplantation embryos in vitro and to investigate the possible action of Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ on preimplantation embryonic development. Methods One-cell embryos collected from the oviduct of the superovulated mice were cultured in microdrops of medium for 48?h.The effect of peroxiredoxin Ⅱ antibody on the development of embryo in vitro was observed,and the percentage of embryos developing to 2-and 4-cell stage of embryos was used as evaluation criteria.With redox-sensitive fluorescence probe 2′,7′-dichlorodihydroflurescin diacete(DCFH-DA),reactive oxygen species(ROS) induced by Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ antibody was monitored in mouse embryos after 24?h culture by laser confocal scanning microscopy. Results The embryonic development rate from 2-cell stage to 4-cell stage was decreased significantly by Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ antibody in the dilution of 1∶100 and 1∶200,but Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ antibody had no inhibitive effect on development from 1-cell to 2-cell stage.Moreover,Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ antibody in the dilution of 1∶200 induced increase in the production of reactive oxygen species in mouse embryos from 24?h culture of one-cell embryo.Conclusion Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ antibody induced the generation of “2-cell block” by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS) in mouse embryos.These results also indicated that Peroxiredoxin Ⅱ may reduce or eliminate ROS in preimplantation embryos and promote the development of preimplantation embryos.;

Objective To investigate the distribution of folliclestimulating hormone (FSH),luteinizing hormone (LH) and colocalization with gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR) in rat submaxilary glands. Methods Distribution of FSH, LH and colocalization with GnRHR consecutive sections of rat submaxilary glands were investigated by immunohistochemical colocalization methods. Results FSH and LH immunoreactivity were observed in the epithelial cells of serous acinus, secretory tubes, excretory ducts and granular convoluted tubule. The immunoreactive materials were brown and distributed in the cytoplasma with negative nucleolus. The results of immunohistochemical colocalization showed not only FSH but also GnRHR immunoreactivity in the same structure of two adjacent section. The distribution of the positive substance of FSH and GnRHR were similar to each other. The most of showing GnRHR immunoreactivity cells were detected LH immunoreactivity in the same structure of two adjacene section and the others were immunonegative. The GnRNR immunoreactive materials were distributed in the cytoplasma with negative nucleolus.Conclusion The epithelial cell of serous acinus, secretory tubes, excretory ducts and granular convoluted tubule of rat submaxilary glands may be synthesized and secreted FSH and LH. These cells with FSH and LH positive immunoreaction of rat submaxilary glands may be regulated by Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) through autocrine or paracrine.;

Objective In this study, we investigated the distribution of Peroxiredoxin II mRNA in follicles at all stages in mouse ovaries and mouse secondary oocytes(MII eggs) basing on our previous researches, to provide the morphological basis for exploring the effect of Peroxiredoxin II on oogenesis and oocyte maturation in the mouse. Methods To observe the distribution of Peroxiredoxin II mRNA in follicles at all stages in ovaries and the localization of Peroxiredoxin II mRNA in Germinal-Vesicle intact oocytes(GV oocytes) and MII eggs by in situ Hybridization. Results In situ hybridization of ovary section revealed that the signals for Peroxiredoxin II mRNA were undetectable in oocytes of primordial follicles, and moderate signals for Peroxiredoxin II mRNA were observed in oocytes of primary follicles. Moreover, strong signals for Peroxiredoxin II mRNA were evident in antral follicles. The signals for Peroxiredoxin II mRNA also existed in GV oocytes and MII eggs in vitro. The hybrid signals were stronger in GV oocytes than in MII eggs. In addition, the weak but consistent signals for Peroxiredoxin II mRNA were detected in follicular cells from primordial follicles to large antral follicles. Peroxiredoxin II mRNA was located in cytoplasm of oocytes and follicular cells, but not in nuclei.Conclusion These results suggested that Peroxiredoxin II might be involved in the regulation of oogenesis and oocyte matruation in the mouse.;

Objective To investigate potential problems and solutions within the data of national surveillance of Keshan disease(KSD), to improve the quality of surveillance data and the reliability of the results. Methods Four key variables (name, sex, age, and KSD diagnosis) in the national surveillance data of KSD in 2009 were cleaned by SPSS 15.0. Cleaning contents included duplicate records, missing values, outliers and logic errors. Name, sex, age, currently residing in townships and currently residing in villages and other variables were combined into different filters to find duplicate records by the command of Identify Duplicate Cases , then the duplicate records were returned to the data reporting agencies, and finally delete or merge. Data with missing values, outliers, or logical errors were found by commands of Frequencies, Descriptives and Select if, then the duplicate records were returned to the data reporting agencies. Data were revised based on not only the feedback , but also by using the relationship between variables, and by consulting KSD clinical experts. Results Four hundred and sixty-four cases of duplicate records were found and cleaned. The number of missing values was 2 047 (specifically, name 0, sex 3, age 32 and KSD diagnosis 2 012). The number of outliers was 1 988 (specifically, name 6, sex 3, age 10 and KSD diagnosis 1 969). The records of 5 kinds of logic errors of KSD diagnosis were 105 in all. Conclusion There are duplicate records, missing values, outliers and logic errors in the national surveillance data of KSD, cleaning work could improve the quality of surveillance data, ensure the authenticity and rliability of the monitoring data.

Objective:To observe the epidemiological characteristics and transmission chain of COVID-19 in Harbin, and to provide epidemiological evidence for improving the COVID-19 preventive measures and optimizing prevention and control strategies.Methods:The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in Harbin in January 2021 was analyzed by using the Infectious Disease Report Information Management System and the Public Health Emergency Management Information System of the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, the epidemic situation information publicly released by the Heilongjiang Provincial Health Commission, and the epidemiological report of Heilongjiang Province Certer for Disease Control and Prevention and Harbin Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The main transmission chains were sorted out through combination of epidemiological field investigation, serological testing, gene sequencing, big data and other means.Results:From January 12 to February 4, 2021, 295 cases of COVID-19 infection (including confirmed cases and asymptomatic infections) were reported in Harbin, which affected 6 districts of Harbin and were concentrated in 41 of the 274 townships in the city. The sex ratio of male to female was 1.00∶1.12 (139∶156); the age ranged from 1 to 86 years old, and the median age was 45 years old. The proportion of confirmed cases and asymptomatic infection was 1.00 ∶ 1.02 (146 ∶ 149), and there was a significant difference in the distribution of different ages between them ( P = 0.042). The cases were mainly found through the health screening of the centralized isolation personnel (178 cases, 60.3%). Other detection methods included active screening (87 cases, 29.5%), screening of the home isolation personnel (26 cases, 8.8%), and medical treatment in medical institutions (4 cases, 1.4%). The main transmission chain of the outbreak was the case associated with a food processing enterprise, with a total of 259 cases, accounting for 87.8% of the total cases. The gene sequencing results showed that the case sequence was homologous with that of Wangkui County, Suihua City, Heilongjiang Province. Conclusions:A food processing enterprise is involved in the main transmission chain, which indicates that the epidemic prevention and control measures needs to be further optimized. Specifically, the supervision and management of food processing enterprises, cold chain storage companies and other enterprises should be strengthened. High attention should be paid to the hidden dangers of COVID-19 in large and medium sized enterprises with hermetic space in Harbin.
