1.Analysis of the effect of risk factors at gestational diabetes mellitus
Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2014;49(5):321-324
Objective To assesment the effect of risk factors at gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods We collected 427 pregnant women who had done 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) between September 1st,2012 and April 19th,2013 in Peking University First Hospital,including 74 pregnant women diagnosed as GDM (GDM group) and 353 pregnant women undiagnosed (non-GDM group).Then we conducted a multiple logistic regression to analyze the clinical datas collected from two groups,which included age,pre-pregnancy body weight and body mass index (BMI),body weight during 11-12 weeks pregnancy,body weight during 23-24 weeks pregnancy; and fasting plasma glucose(FPG),triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TCH),high density lipoprotein (H DL),low density lipoprotein (LDL),fasting insulin (FINS),homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) during early pregnancy; and family history of diabetes mellitus.Results (1)There were significant difference in age,pre-pregnancy BMI,and FPG,TG,FINS,HOMA-IR during early pregnancy,and family history of diabetes mellitus between two groups (P < 0.05).(2) The risk factors of GDM that have statistical significance included FPG during early pregnancy (OR:4.03,95 % CI:1.62-10.02),family history of diabetes mellitus (OR:3.15,95 % CI:1.66-5.99),TG during early pregnancy (OR:2.13,95 % CI:1.17-3.87),BMI before pregnancy (OR:1.36,95 % CI:1.08-1.70),age ≥ 35 years (OR:1.15,95 % CI:1.05-1.26),early pregnancy weight gain (OR:1.20,95% CI:1.06-1.35),mid pregnancy weight gain (OR:1.28,95% CI:1.12-1.47),FINS during early pregancy (OR:1.09,95% CI:1.01-1.17).Conclusions FPG,TG and FINS during early pregnancy,BMI before pregnancy,early and mid pregnancy weight gain,family history of diabetes mellitus and age≥35 years are the indepadent risk factors for GDM.We should pay more attention to FPG and TG during early pregnancy,and put weight management into practise since early pregnancy and try to control pregnancy weight gain within reasonable limits.

3.Expression pattern of different serotypes of adeno-associated viral vectors in mouse retina.
Journal of Peking University(Health Sciences) 2020;52(5):845-850
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the expression efficiency of exogenous gene mediated by different serotypes of adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in retina, and to compare the expression efficiency of AAV vector and two kinds of promoters commonly used in ophthalmology after transfection into mouse retina, so as to provide the basis for selecting appropriate AAV vector and promoter for gene therapy of retinitis pigmentosa.
METHODS:
AAV2/2, AAV2/5, AAV2/8 and AAV2/9 were prepared. The C57BL/6J mice were injected subretinally with 1 μL purified AAV vectors (1.00×1013 mg/L). Then the mice were killed 2 or 4 weeks after treatment, and the eyes were enucleated for frozen section. The expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) was observed under the confocal microscope. Two kinds of promoters, CMV and CAG, were selectd, and the expression of AAV2/8-GFP-CMV and AAV2/8-GFP-CAG was observed under confocal microscope.
RESULTS:
No bacterial infection or immune response were seen in the injected mice. 2 weeks after injection, the GFP green fluorescence of AAV2/8 and AAV2/9 in the mouse retina was obvious, which indicated that the GFP green fluorescence of AAV2/8 and AAV2/9 was high after transfection into the mouse retina. In these two serotypes, GFP green fluorescence of AAV2/8 was mainly concentrated in photoreceptor cells while AAV2/8 was expressed in the whole retina, indicating that AAV2/8 was more specific to photoreceptors. Further experiments on AAV2/8 showed that the GFP green fluorescence of the mouse retina was obvious 4 weeks after injection, indicating that the exogenous gene mediated by AAV2/8 could be stably expressed in vivo. For CMV and CAG promoters, CMV promoter was expressed stronger in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)cells, while CAG promoter was stronger in photorecepters. In photorecepters, CAG promoter was expressed almost the same as CMV promoter, while CMV promoter was stronger in RPE cells.
CONCLUSION
AAV vectors could express transgene robustly in retinal cells; Among several AAV serotypes, AAV2/2 and AAV2/5 showed weaker GFP fluorescence than AAV2/8 and AAV2/9. AAV2/9 showed expression in each layer of the retina including ganglion cells. AAV2/8 was more specific for photoreceptor; CAG promoters had higher specificity for photoreceptors than CMV promoters.

The β-Glucuronidase gene (sbGUS) cDNA firstly from Scutellari abaicalensis leaf was cloned by RT-PCR, with GenBank accession number KR364726. The full length cDNA of sbGUS was 1 584 bp with an open reading frame (ORF), encoding an unstable protein with 527 amino acids. The bioinformatic analysis showed that the sbGUS encoding protein had isoelectric point (pI) of 5.55 and a calculated molecular weight about 58.724 8 kDa, with a transmembrane regions and signal peptide, had conserved domains of glycoside hydrolase super family and unintegrated trans-glycosidase catalytic structure. In the secondary structure, the percentage of alpha helix, extended strand, β-extended and random coil were 25.62%, 28.84%, 13.28% and 32.26%, respectively. The homologous analysis indicated the nucleotide sequence 98.93% similarity and the amino acid sequence 98.29% similarity with S. baicalensis (BAA97804.1), in the nine positions were different. The expression level of sGUS was the highest in root based on a real-time PCR analysis, followed by flower and stem, and the lowest was in stem. The results provide a foundation for exploring the molecular function of sbGUS involved in baicalcin biosynthesis based on synthetic biology approach in S. baicalensis plants.

Morus alba L. (mulberry) is a well-known deciduous tree, belonging to the genus of Morus of Moraceae famlily. Its leaves, twigs, roots (bark) and fruits are widely used in the traditional Chinese medicine. The active constituents of mulberry contained flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, coumarins, with the significant hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antihypertension, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-tumor and immunomodulatory activities. This review summarized the research progress of the major pharmacological activity, pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interaction based on CYPs and transporters of mulberry and its active constituents.
