Objective To investigate the possibility of utilizing the mixed bacteria liquid and the Escherichia coli ( E.coli) liquid to establish the chronic salpingitis model of New Zealand rabbits, respectively.Methods Taken as the study object, the un-pregnant New Zealand rabbits (4~5 years old) were randomly divided into three groups: the normal group, the mixed bacteria experimental group and the E.coli experimental group.The trans-vaginal intrauterine intubation operation was performed for the injection of the mixed bacteria liquid and the E.coli liquid.Visual observation was to evaluate the gross pathological changes of the salpingitis and the pelvic cavity.HE staining and the light microscope were used to observe the micro-pathological changes of salpingitis.Results On the 15th day after modeling, increased pelvic effusion, dense peritoneal adhesion, interstitial hyperplasia and infiltration of lymphocytes were observed in both experimental groups. Conclusion Through the trans-vaginal intrauterine intubation operation, the chronic salpingitis model of New Zealand rabbits could be successfully established either by using the mixed bacteria liquid or by using the E.coli liquid.

The computer information technology that has penetrated into every aspect of our lives, can not only assist the screening of drugs, but also simulate the effect of drugs. At present, computer-aided technologies have been used to screen aptamers, which play an important role in improving the screening efficiency and screening high affinity binding aptamers. This review summarized the screening methods of aptamers through computer-aided sequence evaluation, structural analysis and molecular docking.

The mechanisms underlying autophagic defects in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) remain largely unknown. We aimed to elucidate the roles of hepatic cyclooxygenase 1 (COX1) in autophagy and the pathogenesis of diet-induced steatohepatitis in mice. Human nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) liver samples were used to examine the protein expression of COX1 and the level of autophagy. Cox1^Δhepa mice and their wildtype littermates were generated and fed with 3 different NASH models. We found that hepatic COX1 expression was increased in patients with NASH and diet-induced NASH mice models accompanied by impaired autophagy. COX1 was required for basal autophagy in hepatocytes and liver specific COX1 deletion exacerbated steatohepatitis by inhibiting autophagy. Mechanistically, COX1 directly interacted with WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2 (WIPI2), which was crucial for autophagosome maturation. Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated rescue of WIPI2 reversed the impaired autophagic flux and improved NASH phenotypes in Cox1^Δhepa mice, indicating that COX1 deletion-mediated steatohepatitis was partially dependent on WIPI2-mediated autophagy. In conclusion, we demonstrated a novel role of COX1 in hepatic autophagy that protected against NASH by interacting with WIPI2. Targeting the COX1-WIPI2 axis may be a novel therapeutic strategy for NASH.
