Aim To investigate the role of Wnt/β-cate-nin signaling pathway on the baicalin-induced osteo-genic differentiation in rat bone marrow derived mesen-chymal stem cells ( rBMSC ) . Methods rBMSC was isolated and cultured by adherence screening method. Alkaline phosphatase ( ALP) amount, CFU-FALP and mineralized nodules were compared between each ba-icalin group and vehicle control group at different time points. Real time q-PCR was employed to evaluate the mRNA level of Wnt signaling-related marker ( Wnt10a, GSK-3β,β-catenin and LEF1) after baica-lin treatment. Protein expression of β-catenin and Runx2 was measured by Western blot. Results Ba-icalin significantly increased ALP activities from day 3 to day 7 . The formation of CFU-FALP and mineralized nodules remarkably increased after rBMSC was treated with1, 10, 50 μmol · L-1 baicalin. mRNA levels of Wnt10a, β-catenin, GSK-3β, LEF1and osteocalcin were enhanced significantly in baicalin-treated group compared to control group. Protein expression of β-catenin and Runx2 was also elevated. Conclusion Baicalin ( 0. 1 to 50 μmol · L-1 ) promotes the osteo-genic differentiation and maturation of rBMSC, in which Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway might be in-volved.

Objective:
To establish a high-throughput sequencing method for a whole genome in different hepatitis B virus (HBV) concentrations.
Methods:
Two method of amplicon-sequencing and direct sequencing without PCR amplification were used for library construction in the three plasmids, including the low HBV load sample, the moderate HBV load sample and the high HBV load sample. Whole genome sequencing was performed on Illumina MiSeq platform.
Results:
There are significant differences in data yield between the two different library construction method. Only a few reads could be mapped to the HBV genome for direct sequencing. However, three samples were successfully amplified by the nested PCR amplification and amplicon-sequencing showed that all HBV samples had a good coverage and depth, which was not affected by HBV concentration. The alignment rate of HBV genome approached 80%. A total of 27 intra-host single nucleotide variations (iSNVs) were identified and 13 iSNVs were low-frequency mutation in three samples. Compared with the high HBV load sample, mutations in the reverse transcription (RT) region was more easily appeared in the low HBV sample and the moderate HBV load sample.
Conclusions
Integrating nested PCR with high-throughput sequencing to the HBV whole genome sequencing is not only a practical method to detect the infection of HBV with a high-sensitivity and accuracy, but also enables to detect the mutation in the infected patient with low HBV copy number.

Objective:
To understand changes and health equity of low vision in children and adolescents in Chongqing, and to provide reference for student myopia prevention and control.
Methods:
Using longitudinal studies, all school students in grades 1 to grade 12 in Chongqing were examined for visual acuity during 2018 to 2021, and the prevalence as well as changes of low vision were analyzed. In 2021, stratified random sampling was used to evaluate the health equity of uncorrected visual acuity and diopter(spherical equivalent, SE).
Results:
The prevalence of low vision for children and adolescents in Chongqing from 2018 to 2021 was 54.12%, 58.17%, 60.03% and 58.20% respectively. Low vision showed an increasing trend in the first three years and decreased by 1.83% in 2021 as compared with 2020( χ 2 trend =13 870.45, P <0.01). The difference in the detection rate of poor vision among students in different grades was statistically significant( χ 2=17 396.36, 2 093.95, 771.87, P <0.01). From 2018 to 2021, the detection rate of low vision in girls was higher than that of boys( P <0.01). The Gini coefficient was 0.054 57 for uncorrected visual acuity in urban area, higher than in rural areas (0.035 94). Meanwhile, the Gini coefficient of urban and rural SE was 0.065 82, higher than the country (0.049 30). The results showed that myopia in children and adolescents was more uneven in urban areas.
Conclusion
The adjustment of myopia prevention and control strategies in the late stage of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic is related to the reduction of the detection rate of poor vision in children and adolescents in Chongqing. Low vision varied by grade and gender, suggesting tailored myopia prevention and control strategy. The detection rate of poor vision in cities is more uneven than in rural areas, and different myopia prevention and control measures need to be implemented according to regional characteristics.

Objective:
To explore the value of GALAD model, including gender, age, AFP, AFP-L3 and DCP in diagnosis of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and prediction of microvascular invasion (MVI).
Methods:
Using retrospective study method, 5 919 patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who received radical operation from January 2015 to December 2018 in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital were enrolled into study group. At the same time, 1 745 patients with benign liver diseases (BLDs) were enrolled into control group. The concentration of DCP was detected by Lumipulse G1200 automatic immune analyzer, and the concentration of AFP was detected by Cobas e601 automatic immune analyzer. AFP-L3 was detected by affinity adsorption centrifugation. The non-parametric Mann Whitney test was used to compare the difference between two groups. The chi square test was used to compare the rates. The diagnostic value of single serological marker and GALAD model for primary hepatocellular carcinoma was analyzed. The predictive effect of GALAD model on MVI of primary hepatocellular carcinoma was evaluated.
Results:
Compared with single serum marker, the diagnostic value of GALAD model is higher. When the cutoff value is -0.33, the diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy reach to 91.9% (5 440/5 919), 86.8% (1 515/1 745) and 90.7% (6 955/7 664), respectively. The area under the curve can reach 0.960 [95

Cystatin, a cysteine protease inhibitor found in many parasites, plays important roles in immune evasion. This study analyzed the molecular characteristics of a cystatin from Fasciola hepatica (FhCystatin) and expressed recombinant FhCystatin (rFhcystatin) to investigate the immune modulatory effects on lipopolysaccharide-induced proliferation, migration, cytokine secretion, nitric oxide (NO) production, and apoptosis in mouse macrophages. The FhCystatin gene encoded 116 amino acids and contained a conserved cystatin-like domain. rFhCystatin significantly inhibited the activity of cathepsin B. rFhCystatin bound to the surface of mouse RAW264.7 cells, significantly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted apoptosis. Moreover, rFhCystatin inhibited the expression of cellular nitric oxide, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α, and promoted the expression of transforming growth factor-β and interleukin-10. These results showed that FhCystatin played an important role in regulating the activity of mouse macrophages. Our findings provide new insights into mechanisms underlying the immune evasion and contribute to the exploration of potential targets for the development of new drug to control F. hepatica infection.
