Purpose The aim of this study was to reveal the role of SGT,the small glutamine-rich tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing protein,in the developing mouse brain through examining the expression profile of SGT during the development stage. Methods In this study, quantitative RT-RCR and Western blot were applied to investigate the expression of SGT mRNA and protein in the mouse whole brain. Western bolt was also used to detect the expression of SGT in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, striatum and cerebellum. Immunohistochemical analysis on postnatal and adult mouse brain was performed to examine the subcellular localization of SGT. Results Our data showed that the levels of SGT mRNA and protein in the mouse whole brain were both high during the postnatal stage and declined in the adult. Regional expression of SGT protein in the hippocampus, cerebral cortex, striatum and cerebellum showed a similar expression profile.Immunohistochemical analysis found that in the P14 mouse brain, SGT was abundant in all the CA regions of hippocampus as well as most regions of cerebral cortex and striatum. In the cerebellum, SGT was mainly distributed in Purkinje cells. In the sections of the adult mouse brain, faint expression was observed in the regions mentioned above. Conclusions Our findings firstly exhibit the expression pattern of SGT in the mouse brain development,which might shed new light on further functional analysis of SGT in the central nervous system.

Objective:To study the amino acid and codon usage profile of HIV-1 Env gene in donors whose serum exhibit highly broad cross-neutralizing activity. Methods:The samples were divided into highly broad cross-neutralizing activity group (hBCN + group) and non-highly broad cross-neutralizing activity group (hBCN - group) based on whether the neutralization breadth was higher than 90% or not. Full-length Env genes were amplified by single genome amplification (SGA) method from patients′ plasma samples, and the characteristics of Env sequences in hBCN + group were compared with hBCN - group. The correspondence analysis (COA) on relative amino acid usage (RAAU), adaptability to host based on similarity index D( A, B) and relative synonymous codon usage (RSCU) values of Env genes (hBCN + and hBCN -) with respect to human host RSCU were analyzed. Results:Correspondence analysis showed that the RAAU data of hBCN + group and hBCN - group were distributed along the two main axes to form two relatively separated clusters, indicating that the Env genes of the two groups had relatively unique amino acid usage patterns; the similarity index calculation results showed that hBCN + group (0.097) was lower than the hBCN - group (0.102), in addition, the Env gene of the hBCN + group had less frequency of similarly selected codons with human host system compared to hBCN - group. Conclusions:Env genes in hBCN + group and hBCN - group may have relatively unique amino acid usage patterns, and virus strains in hBCN + group are less adaptable to the host than those in hBCN - group.

BACKGROUND:Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease characterized as an emergence of a variety of autoantibodies in serum and multi-system and multi-organ lesions. Currently, there is a lack of effective treatment options, and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s are a promising therapy for systemic lupus erythematosus based on cel biological roles. OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation in the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus in mice. METHODS:Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s were isolated and cultured fol owed by labeling with DiR fluorescence. Experimental mice were divided into normal control group (C57BL mice), model control group (C57BL/lpr mice), low-, medium-and high-dose umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel therapy groups (C57BL/lpr mice), with 10 mice in each group. Mice in the low-, medium-and high-dose groups were respectively injected 0.5×106, 1×106, 2×106 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s, once a week, for 3 consecutive weeks. At the end of treatment, blood samples were col ected to measure antinuclear antibody, anti-histone antibody, anti-double stranded DNA antibody changes;OPG and Foxp3 gene expression changes were detected by quantitative PCR method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After treatment, the levels of anti-nuclear antibodies, anti-histone antibodies and anti-double stranded DNA antibodies in the peripheral blood of mice were al declined in the low-, medium-and high-dose groups, while the number of peripheral blood CD4+CD25+T cel s was significantly elevated. OPG and Foxp3 gene expression was also increased dramatical y in the low-, medium-and high-dose groups, which was similar to that in the normal control group and significantly different from that in the model control group (P<0.01). Experimental findings demonstrate that after transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s, al relevant indicators in C57BL/lpr mice recovered to the normal levels, and the high-dose treatment group had the most obvious effect.

Objective To observe the effect of different explosion impulse on rabbit lung injury and decide the death curve,so as to provide a reference for the prediction of lung injury.Methods Six healthy male New Zealand white rabbits with weight of 2.0-2.5 kg and age of (6 ± 1)months were selected.The rabbits were put 0.5 m,0.6 m,0.7 m,0.9 m,1.0 m,and 1.2 m away from 90 g TNT to carry out the blast injury experiment.The characteristic parameters of blast shock wave and general lung injury were recorded.Based on the experimental results combined with theoretical analysis,the changes of rabbit lung injury depending on the explosion distance as well as the rabbit death curve were determined.Results After the 90 g TNT explosion,the peak overpressure of shock wave and the corresponding specific impulse decreased quickly with the increase of explosion distance.The peak overpressure was 0.79 MPa and the specific impulse was 82 Pa · s at the explosion distance of 0.5 m.The peak overpressure was 0.1 MPa and the specific impulse was 34 Pa · s at the explosion distance of 1.2 m.The rabbits at 0.5 m and 0.6 m died,the rabbit at 0.7 m was severely injured,and the rabbits at 0.9 m,1.0 m,and 1.2 m were slightly injured.The dependence of lung injury degree on the explosion distance under 90 g TNT explosion was established based on dimensional analysis theory.The lung injury degree was exponentially attenuated with the explosion distance:φ =(R/0.6)-5.64(φ represented lung injury degree,and R represented the explosion distance).Considering the combined injury effects of peak overpressure of shock wave and its specific impulse on rabbit lung,the death curve of rabbit was determined:(p-0.1) (I-59) =2.6 (p represented peak overpressure,and I represented specific impulse).The criterion of "overpressure-specific impulse" was used to estimate the death of rabbit,and the death curve of rabbit was determined as (p-0.1)(I-59) =2.6(p represented peak overpressure and I represented specific impulse).The critical overpressure was 0.1 MPa and the critical specific impulse was 59 Pa · s.Conclusions Under the explosion condition of 90 g TNT,the relationship between degree of lung injury in rabbits and explosion distance is established.Death curve of rabbits is determined based on the damage effect of shock wave peak overpressure and specific impulse on the lungs of rabbits,which is significant for predicting the blast injury.
