Objective To get TDRP1 gene of sterile and fertile boar of the Banna minipig inbred line (BMI), predict its function by bioinformatics analysis, and detect its expression patterns in the fertile boar.Methods Based on the NM_001198925 sequence, we designed specific primers and amplified BMI TDRP1 using RT-PCR method for sequen-cing and bioinformatics analysis.Meanwhile, the expression of TDRP1 in 17 organ tissues ( heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, thymus, lymph nodes, skin, duodenum, stomach, cerebrum, cerebellum, testis, epididymis, seminal vesicle, prostate, and bulbourethral gland) of fertile BMI boar and in the testis of sterile and fertile BMI boars was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results The experiment obtained 680 bp cDNA sequence ( GenBank accession number:KJ186786) of BMI TDRP1, which encodes a protein of 186 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight (Mw) of 20.49 kDa and isoelectric point (pI) 5.86, and no signal peptide.It was a nuclear protein with a probability of 94.1%and had a leucine-rich nuclear export signals.Homology analysis of protein sequences revealed that BMI TDRP1 showed high identi-ty with that of humans, macaca mulatta, mouse and rat.The RT-PCR analysis showed that TDRP1 had a similar expression in the testes of sterile and fertile BMI boars.It was highly abundant in the seminal vesicle and prostate, moderately ex-pressed in cerebellum and testis and weakly expressed in cerebrum and kidney, while undetected in other 11 organ tissues. Conclusions We have cloned TDRP1 complete coding sequence, and found 2 SNPs,showing no difference in sequences and the testis mRNA expression levels between the fertile and sterile BMI boars.The multi-tissue transcription profile shows different expression levels in different organ tissues, being high in the seminal vesicle and prostate.The results of this study provide a foundation for further insight into the role of this gene in spermatogenesis.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically review the efficacy and safety of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)in-hibitors in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP),and provide evidence-based reference for clinic. METHODS:Re-trieved from PubMed,EMBase,Cochrane Library,CJFD,VIP,CBM and Wangfang Database,randomized controlled trials (RCT) about VEGF inhibitors (test group) versus laser photocoagulation treatment (control group) in the treatment of ROP were collected. Meta-analysis was performed by using Rev Man 5.1 software after data extraction and quality evaluation by Cochrane re-viewers manual 5.1.0. RESULTS:Totally 5 RCTs were included,involving 381 infants and 754 eyes.Results of Meta-analysis showed that the recurrence rate of ROP [RR=0.23,95%CI(0.13,0.42),P<0.001],retinal detachment incidence [RR=0.27,95%CI(0.14,0.51),P<0.001] andresolution of plus signs [MD=-1.31,95%CI(-1.47,-1.14),P<0.001] in test group were signifi-cantly lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant;and there was no significant difference in the refrac-tive errors and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Intravitreal VEGF inhibitors have better efficacy than laser photocoagulation in the treatment of ROP,but the optimal dose and safety need further verification by large-sam-ple and well-designed RCT.

Objective:To investigate the effects of fractional CO 2 laser, focused ultrasound and simple drug treatment of gynecological vulva white lesions. Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 126 patients with white lesions of the vulva admitted to Hainan Cancer Hospital from August 2018 to December 2020. They were divided into drug group, focused ultrasound group and fractional CO 2 laser group by random number table method, with 42 patients in each group. The drug group was treated with mometasone furoate cream or dexamethasone acetate cream, and the focused ultrasound group was treated with focused ultrasound; the fractional CO 2 laser group was treated with fractional CO 2 laser. The serum interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), C-reactive protein (CRP), and human epidermal growth factor (EGF) levels before and after treatment, and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores of the three groups were compared. Results:Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the levels of IL-2, TNF-α, CRP and EGF among the three groups (all P>0.05). After treatment, the levels of IL-2, TNF-α, CRP and EGF in the three groups were significantly decreased, and the levels of IL-2, TNF-α, CRP and EGF in the focused ultrasound group and fractional CO 2 laser group were lower than those in the drug group, with statistically significant difference (all P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the white lesions, dry pruritus, sexual pain and chapped skin scores of the three groups (all P>0.05); After treatment, scores of all dimensions of the three groups were significantly decreased, and scores of all dimensions of the focused ultrasound group and fractional CO 2 laser were lower than those of the drug group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Before treatment, there was no significant difference in the scores of symptoms and feelings, daily activities and interpersonal relationship of the three groups (all P>0.05); After treatment, scores of all dimensions of the three groups were significantly decreased, and scores of all dimensions of the focused ultrasound group and fractional CO 2 laser were lower than those of the drug group, with statistical significance (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Fractional CO 2 laser has a remarkable effect in the treatment of gynecological vulva white lesions, which can reduce the level of inflammatory factors in patients, improve the pain condition, and improve the quality of life.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the global existed diarrhea guidelines of children,and provide evidence and methodology reference for clinical practice and the formulation of diarrhea evidence-based guideline of children in China. METHODS:Retrieved from PubMed,Embase,CBM,CNKI,VIP,Wanfang databases and related websites,references included in studies were retrieved additionally from database building to Dec. 2017. The methodological quality of the guideline was evaluated by 2 researchers independently with guideline evaluation toolⅡ(AGREEⅡ). ICC analysis was used to calculate the differences between the evaluation results of 2 researchers and analyze the difference of the guidelines. RESULTS:A total of 1 168 literatures were collected primarily, and 15 guidelines were involved finally,among which 3 guidelines were from USA,2 from British,2 from WHO,each one from Italy,Europe,India,Australia,Malaysia,New South Wales,South Africa and China,respectively. Of 15 guidelines,there were 10 evidence-based guidelines and 5 non-evidence-based guidelines;evidence levels of guidelines and the method of recommendation intensity were different. ICC of 2 researchers were higher than 0.75(P<0.05),indicating good homogeneity among them. The quality of 15 guidelines were not high enough,and the scores of included guidelines in the field of AGREEⅡin descending order were as follows:scope and purpose(84.44%),clarity of presentation(79.82%),stakeholder involvement(45.74%), rigor of development(41.18%), editorial independence (36.39%)and applicability(33.89%). Main prevention and treatment method recommended by guideline included that(1) prevention and treatment of dehydration was the key link in the treatment of children's diarrhea;(2)guidelines generally believed continuous breastfeeding during rehydration could reduce the risk of dehydration in children;(3)zinc preparation was recommended to shorten the course of diarrhea;(4)antibiotics were used rationally, etc. CONCLUSIONS:The quality of global existed diarrhea guidelines of children should be improved. There is no comprehensive diarrhea evidence- based guideline of children in China,and there is a large discrepancy between the situation of pediatric diarrhea therapy in China and WHO standard;it is urgent to establish a standard treatment. It is suggested to formulate high quality pediatric diarrhea guideline in accordance with the national conditions of China,based on standards for international guideline report, comprehensively considering disease burden and characteristics of pediatric diarrhea in China.
