Objective To study the renal protective effects of ulinastatin in rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS). Methods Thirty-six Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups:control group ,model group and treatment group. The MODS models were produced by injecting lipopolysaccharide(LPS) through the sublingual vein into the rats. Ulinastatin was injected into the sublingual vein of the rats in treatment group, LPS was injected into rats in the same way after 10 minutes. On the second hour and the sixth hour after treatment, serum and renal tissue samples were collected from the rats to determine the level of TNF-?,IL-6, IL-1?, iNOS by RIA.The pathologic changes of renal tissue was examined. Results The levels of TNF-?,IL-6, IL-1?, iNOS of serum and renal tissue in treatment group were obviously lower than in model group (P

0.8). Conclusions This DNA chip combined with multiplex PCR is a rapid diagnostic assay with high specificity and sensitivity for the detection of Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Chlamydia trachomatis and Ureaplasma Urealyticum and their drug-resistance, and may be applied in the diagnosis of urogenital infections.

Objective To examine the impact of vacuum sealing drainage on clinical outcomes of patients with post-sternotomy mediastinitis after cardiac surgery. Methods A systematic search were performed in Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, China Biology Medicine(CBM), WanFang, VIP database. The quality of articles was critically appraised and data were extracted by 2 reviewers independently. Meta-analysis were conducted for the eligible researches. Results Fourteen cohort studies were inclued finally. Patients treated with VSD had significantly lower in-hospital mortalityand lower re-infection compared to those treated without VSD. While there had no significant defferences in length of ICU stay(days) and in-hospital stay (days) between VSD group and control group. Conclusions VSD therapy was associated with lower re-infection and in-hospital mortality than other conventional methods in patients with post-sternotomy mediastinitis after cardiac surgery and those results should be further tested in future research and practice.

Objective:To investigate the changes in adaptive phenotypes of Yersinia pestis ( Yp) during successive passages in macrophages. Methods:A Yp strain of 201-MI was induced by 50 successive passages of Yp 201 strain in Raw264.7 cells. Phenotypic characteristics of 201 and 201-MI strains were compared by analyzing their survival rates in macrophages, growth curves, biofilm formation abilities, acid and hydrogen peroxide-stress tolerance, and virulence to mammal cells (Raw264.7 and HeLa cells) and mice. Results:Comparing with 201 strain, 201-MI strain showed various phenotypic changes, including higher survival rate in Raw264.7 cells, faster growth in iron-deficient medium, higher tolerance to acid and hydrogen peroxide, decreased biofilm formation ability, and less damages to Raw264.7 and HeLa cells. More-over, 201-MI strain showed decreased virulence to mice in both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal challenges. Preliminary comparative genomics analysis revealed some indel and nonsense mutations in 201-MI strain, which might account for its phenotype changes.Conclusions:After successive passages in macrophages, Yp showed some phenotypic changes, which might reflect its adaptive evolution under the pressure of macrophages. Detailed multi-omics analysis would be of great help to understand the underlying genetic mechanisms of these changes, and the related Yp-macrophage interaction processes as well.

Near-infrared (NIR)-light-triggered nanomedicine, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is growing an attractive approach for cancer therapy due to its high spatiotemporal controllability and minimal invasion, but the tumor eradication is limited by the intrinsic anti-stress response of tumor cells. Herein, we fabricate a tumor-microenvironment responsive CRISPR nanoplatform based on oxygen-deficient titania (TiO2-x ) for mild NIR-phototherapy. In tumor microenvironment, the overexpressed hyaluronidase (HAase) and glutathione (GSH) can readily destroy hyaluronic acid (HA) and disulfide bond and releases the Cas9/sgRNA from TiO2-x to target the stress alleviating regulators, i.e., nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and heat shock protein 90α (HSP90α), thereby reducing the stress tolerance of tumor cells. Under subsequent NIR light illumination, the TiO2-x demonstrates a higher anticancer effect both in vitro and in vivo. This strategy not only provides a promising modality to kills cancer cells in a minimal side-effects manner by interrupting anti-stress pathways but also proposes a general approach to achieve controllable gene editing in tumor region without unwanted genetic mutation in normal environments.
