BACKGROUND:Specific down-regulation of interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) may al eviate the pain behaviors effectively after peripheral nervous injury. Compared with smal interference RNA (siRNA), short hairpin RNA (shRNA) could inhibit the expression of target gene more stably and efficiently. However, simple shRNA could not enter target cel s to down-regulate target gene efficiently. Adenovirus vectors have wide host range, high infection efficiency and stable expression in host cel s.
OBJECTIVE:To construct recombinant adenovirus vector expressing shRNA targeting IL-1βgene and detect its effect on the expression of target gene.
METHODS:Three siRNAs were designed on the basis of the nucleotide sequence of IL-1βobtained from NCBI and then three shRNAs (shRNA1, shRNA2 and shRNA3) were synthesized. The annealed shRNA product and adenovirus vector pHBAd/U6/GFP digested by BamH I and EcoR I were connected to construct the recombinant adenovirus vector shuttle plasmid expressing shRNA targeting IL-1β. After sequencing, HEK 293 cel s were co-transfected by the shuttle plasmid and skeleton vector, and three recombinant adenovirus vector expressing shRNA targeting IL-1β(rAd/shRNA1, rAd/shRNA2 and rAd/shRNA3) were packaged and amplified. Rats H9C2 cel s were infected by recombinant adenovirus vector expressing shRNA targeting IL-1βand fluorescence microscope was used to observe the infection efficiency. The effect of recombinant adenovirus vector expressing shRNA targeting IL-1βon the expression of target gene was detected by western blot assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The sequencing results showed that the sequences of three shRNAs adenovirus vector shuttle plasmid were consistent with the sequences of three designed shRNAs. rAd/shRNA1, rAd/shRNA2 and rAd/shRNA3 were constructed successful y. rAd/shRNA1, rAd/shRNA2 and rAd/shRNA3 could down-regulate the expression of IL-1βin rat H9C2 cel s and the down-regulation effect of rAd/shRNA2 was the most significant.

Objective To establish blood purification system for rats and provide a safe and reliable experimental platform for further research of blood purification. Methods The right carotid artery and the contralateral jugular vein of adult male Sprague?Dawley rats were cannulated to creat vascular access for blood purification, by which continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration blood purification system was established. Blood flow, substitution fluid flow and ultrafiltration rate were regulated by rotary mini?pumps. Blood purification therapy continued for 4 hours on the basis of maintained anesthesia and effective anticoagulation. The safety of continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration blood purification systems was evaluated by comparing the arterial blood gas, electrolyte indexes and blood glucose during the blood purification therapy. Closely monitoring the vital signs of rats, such as blood pressure and heart rate, and observing whether there were any side effects, such as massive haemorrhage, thrombogenesis and gas embolism in the therapeutic process. Results There were no obvious changes of arterial blood gas, electrolyte indexes and blood glucose during the blood purification therapy (P>0.05). The vital signs did not fluctuate acutely before and after the blood purification therapy (P>0.05). The incidence rate of side effects was very low. Conclusions
Continuous arteriovenous hemofiltration blood purification system had no obvious adverse effects on healthy rats. Our blood purification system for rats appears to be safe and reliable.

Objective To observe the effects of autophagy on the expression of synaptic plasticity related protein, growth-associated pro-tein-43 (GAP-43) and microtubule associated protein-2 (MAP-2), in CA1 area of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats. Methods Nine-ty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, vascular dementia model group (VD group), autophagy in-hibitor 3-methyl adenine preconditioning group (3-MA group) and autophagy agonist rapamycin preconditioning group (Rap group). Each group was divided randomly into subgroups of one week, two weeks, four weeks and eight weeks after modeling, six rats in each group. The vascular dementia rat model was established with modified Pulsineli's four-vessel occlusion. The expression of GAP-43 and MAP-2 in CA1 area of hippocampus were detected with immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with the sham group, the expression of GAP-43 protein increased, and the expression of MAP-2 protein decreased at every time point in VD group (P<0.01). Compared with VD group, the expres-sion of both GAP-43 and MAP-2 increased in 3-MA group (P<0.05), and decreased in Rap group (P<0.05). Conclusion Autophagy may in-hibit the expression of synaptic plasticity related protein, GAP-43 and MAP-2, in CA1 area of hippocampus in vascular dementia rats, indi-cating inhibition of autophagy may promote synaptic remodeling.

10.Research advances in the treatment of Crigler-Najjar syndrome
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2023;39(4):974-979
Crigler-Najjar syndrome (CNS) is an autosomal recessive disorder in which the content of plasma unconjugated bilirubin is increased due to the reduction or complete deficiency of the activity of bilirubin uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1), classified as CNS type Ⅰ and Ⅱ. CNS type Ⅰ is the most severe, which will develop into kernicterus, damage the brain nervous system, and even threaten the life of patients. This article introduces six CNS treatment techniques, including phototherapy, plasma exchange, drug therapy, liver transplantation, hepatocyte transplantation and gene therapy. The applicable patient types, treatment effects and existing deficiencies of each technique were summarized. Phototherapy, plasma exchange, drug therapy and hepatocyte transplantation can temporarily control serum levels and reduce the risk of jaundice, but cannot completely restore UGT1A1 enzyme activity; liver transplantation is currently the only treatment option for CNS type Ⅰ patients, but is limited by suitable liver donors and post-operative immune rejection. Gene therapy has the most promising application in the treatment of genetic disorders such as CNS, which can provide more viable therapeutic techniques for CNS patients.
