BACKGROUND: Wnt signaling pathway plays an important regulative role in the embryonic development processes. Accordingly, it is of great significance to establish the cell model of Wnt signaling pathway so as to conduct study on it. OBJECTIVE: To establish Wnt signaling pathway cell model by transfecting L-M (TK-) cells with Wnt3a eukaryotic expression plasmid, and to investigate the effect of canonical Wnt signal pathway on the β-catenin subcellular distribution. METHODS: The eukaryotic expression plasmid pgk-Wnt3a-pcDNA3.0 after amplification was digested by restriction endonuclease first. Then it was transfected together with the control plasmid pgk-neo-pcDNA3.0 into L-M (TK-) cells via lipofection, after which the cell colony was screened by G418 for amplification. RT-PCR was used for detecting the expression products and the indirect immunofluorescence assay for observing the effect of Wnt3a on the β-catenin subcellular localization of L-M (TK-) cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Wnt3a plasmid was verified by endonuclease digestion to have produced the expected plasmids after amplification. According to the RT-PCR detection to the 10 stably-transfected cell colonies achieved by 3 weeks of G418 screening, it was seen, on the L-Wnt3a cDNA, a strip of bright band of 320 bp in length, which showed that the products of amplification were exactly the expected fragments and that the Wnt3a plasmid was expressed on mRNA transcriptional level after being transfected with L-M (TK-) cells. In contrast, no expected band was found on the cDNA of L-M (TK-) calls transfecting the control plasmid. In addition, the immunofiuorescence assay detection showed that the protein expression of Wnt3a was found in the cytoplasm of the L-M(TK-) cells tranfecting Wnt3a plasmid, while for those transfecting the control plasmid, it was opposite. β-catenin, as showing by bright red fluorescence, was found to concentrate and enter into the nucleus of the L-M (TK-) cells transfecting Wnt3a plasmid, while for those transfecting the control plasmid, it was opposite. Cell model with continually activated Wnt signaling pathway is established. The stable expression of Wnt3a in L-M (TK-) cells transfected with pgk-Wnt3a-pcDNA3.0 is obtained. The expression of Wnt3a is able to promote the transfer of β-catenin from cytoplasms into nucleus in L-M (TK-) cells.

Objective: To explore the clinical efficacy of ear acupuncture plus injection at Zusanli (ST 36) in treating shoulder pain after laparoscopic gynecological surgery, and to observe its effect on cytokines. Methods: Two hundred patients with shoulder pain after laparoscopic gynecological surgery were randomized into two groups based on their visiting sequence, 100 cases each. The observation group was intervened by ear acupuncture plus injection at Zusanli (ST 36), and the control group was intervened by oral administration of Ibuprofen, 10 d as a treatment course. The clinical efficacies of the two groups were compared after 2 treatment courses; the visual analogue scale (VAS), present pain intensity (PPI) and 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) were measured before and after the treatment;the changes of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 after the treatment were also observed. Results: The VAS and PPI scores were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (both P<0.01). After the treatment, the VAS score in the observation group was significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). The component scores of SF-36 were significantly changed after the treatment in both groups (P<0.01); after the treatment, the scores of physical functioning (PF), bodily pain (BP), social functioning (SF), and mental health (MH) in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group (all P<0.05). The contents of IL-6 and IL-10 dropped significantly after the intervention in both groups (both P<0.01), and the between-group differences were also statistically significant (both P<0.01). The total effective rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Ear acupuncture plus injection at Zusanli (ST 36) can significantly improve the shoulder pain after laparoscopic gynecological surgery, down-regulate the expressions of IL-6 and IL-10, and boost the recovery.

Objective To compare 6 sub-function scale differences of frontal lobe function rating scale or a Frontal Assessment Battery(FAB)among patients with two subtypes of vascular cognitive impairment(VCI) to provide clues for the distinctive intervention and disease prevention and control of patients with two subtypes.Methods Totally 220 non-dementia vascular cognitive impairment (NDVCI)patients and 68 patients with vascular dementia(VaD)with final diagnosis were selected.The overall function and six sub-function scores were tested by FAB.Analyzing the score difference and probing a progress tendency from NDVCI to VaD were performed.Results The scores of frontal lobe function rating scale were higher in NDVCI(14.0 ± 2.8)than in VaD (9.5±2.0) patients with significant difference(t =29.92,P =0.00).The scales of frontal lobe function rating score of conceptualization ability (t =6.24,P =0.00),intelligence flexibility (t =7.00,P =0.00),antiinterference ability(t =7.21,P =0.00) and attention suppression(t =5.32,P =0.00) were lower in VaD group than in NDVCI group.The conceptualization weight capacity was significantly lower in VaD group than in NDVCI group(0.04 versus 0.32).Conclusions During a transitive process from NDVCI to VaD,it is important to focus on the mutation and deterioration of conceptualization capacity.

Advanced paternal age has been overlooked, and its effect on fertility remains controversial. Previous studies have focused mainly on intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles in men with oligozoospermia. However, few studies have reported on men with semen parameters within reference ranges. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective cohort study analyzing the reproductive outcomes of couples with non-male-factor infertility undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. In total, 381 cycles included were subgrouped according to paternal age (<35-year-old, 35-39-year-old, or ≥40-year-old), and maternal age was limited to under 35 years. Data on embryo quality and clinical outcomes were analyzed. The results showed that fertilization and high-quality embryo rates were not significantly different (all P > 0.05). The pregnancy rate was not significantly different in the 35-39-year-old group (42.0%; P > 0.05), but was significantly lower in the ≥40-year-old group (26.1%; P < 0.05) than that in the <35-year-old group (40.3%). Similarly, the implantation rate significantly decreased in the ≥40-year-old group (18.8%) compared with that in the <35-year-old group (31.1%) and 35-39-year-old group (30.0%) (both P < 0.05). The live birth rate (30.6%, 21.7%, and 19.6%) was not significantly different across the paternal age subgroups (<35-year-old, 35-39-year-old, and ≥40-year-old, respectively; all P > 0.05), but showed a declining trend. The miscarriage rate significantly increased in the 35-39-year-old group (44.8%) compared with that in the <35-year-old group (21.0%; P < 0.05). No abnormality in newborn birth weight was found. The results indicated that paternal age over 40 years is a key risk factor that influences the assisted reproductive technology success rate even with good semen parameters, although it has no impact on embryo development.

Gram-negative bacteria have become the main pathogens and cause serious clinical problems with increased morbidity and mortality. However, the slow discovery of new antimicrobial agents is unable to meet the need for the treatment of bacterial infections caused by drug-resistant strains. The interaction of L12 and L10 is essential for ribosomal function and protein synthesis. In this study, a yeast two-hybrid system was established to successfully detect the interaction between L12 and L10 proteins from gram-negative bacteria , which allows us to screen compounds that specifically disrupt this interaction. With this system, we identified two compounds IMB-84 and IMB-87 that block L12-L10 interaction and show bactericidal activity against . We used glutathione--transferase (GST) pull-down and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) assays to demonstrate that these compounds disrupt L12-L10 interaction and the target of compounds was further confirmed by the overexpression of target proteins. Moreover, protein synthesis and elongation factor G-dependent GTPase activities are inhibited by two compounds. Therefore, we have identified two antibacterial agents that disrupt L12-L10 interaction by using yeast two-hybrid system.
