Wasp sting is a common emergency in mountainous areas of China, with rapid onset and progression, high mortality rate, and serious harm to public health. Wasp sting can cause mild local reactions in mild cases, and Anaphylaxis or even multiple organ dysfunction in severe cases, of which Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common and serious. Blood purification treatment is commonly used for wasp sting patients to maintain renal function, eliminate toxins, and maintain Internal environment stability. The commonly used clinical methods are Hemoperfusion (HP), plasma exchange (PE), and continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). At present, there is no clear recommendation for the blood purification treatment mode of wasp sting in China, and there is no clear guidance for its combined treatment mode. This article will review the single and combined use of blood purification treatment models for wasp stings, based on the latest clinical research.

Objective:To observe the effect of hypoxia on the dedifferentiation process of chondrocytes in vitro and explore the role of collagen prolyl 4-hydroxylase (C-P4Hs).Methods:Chondrocytes were treated with COCl 2 for different concentrations, and selecting the optimal COCl 2 concentration for hypoxia inductionwas100 μmol/L, the mouse costal chondrocytes were divided into the normal oxygen group and the hypoxia group, and the indexes of the 3rd generation 0.5-72 h and the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th generation at 72 h were detected respectively. The proliferation rate was determined by CCK8 method and cell count, and the dynamic changes of HIF-1α, P4Hα1, P4Hα2 and Col II in each group were detected by RT-qPCR, IF and Western blot. Results:Costal chondrocytes were cultured under different concentration of COCl 2 for 48 h. When COCl 2>150 μmol/L, the proliferation rate ( P<0.05) was significantly decreased. Normal oxygen and hypoxia induced rib chondrocytes for 0-72 h, and RT-qPCR showed significant increases in P4Hα2 and Col II mRNA in hypoxia group ( P<0.05). IF showed that HIF-1α and P4Hα2 accumulated in the nucleus under hypoxia, and P4Hα2 gradually entered the cytoplasm from the nucleus. Westernblot analysis showed that HIF-1α and P4Hα2 protein expressions were significantly increased in hypoxia group ( P<0.05). The expression of Col II protein in hypoxia group ( P<0.05) increased at the induction stage. CCK8 and cell count results showed that the proliferation rate and cell number of each generation in the hypoxic group were significantly increased ( P<0.05), and there was still potential for proliferation when the cells were transferred to the 6-7 generation. RT-qPCR showed that hypoxia group each generation cells P4Hα2, Col II mRNΑ were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Westernblot results showed that HIF-1α, P4Hα2 and Col II protein expressions were increased in each generation of hypoxia group ( P<0.05). ConcIusion:Increased expression of P4Hα2 through hypoxia induced HIF-1α can accelerate post-translational modification of Col II in chondrocytes and increase synthesis and accumulation of Col II. P4Hα2 may be responsible for increased proliferation rate and delayed dedifferentiation of chondrocytes cultured in vitro under hypoxia condition.

This study investigated the association of apolipoprotein A5 (apoAS) gene polymorphism at position -113 ITC with cerebral infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 256 type 2 diabetic patients without cerebral infarction (T2DM), 220 type 2 diabetic patients with cerebral infarction (T2DMCI) and 340 healthy subjects were recruited from the same region (Hubei province,China). The genotype of apoA5 -1131TC was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction, followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol,LDL-cholesterol and trigiycerides were quantitatively detected by using standard enzymatic techniques. The results showed that the prevalence of the apoA5 -1131C allele was significantly higher in T2DMCI group than that in control group (42.7% versus 31.2%, P<0.01). The carriers of rare C allele had higher TG levels as compared with carders of common allele in the three groups (P<0.01). Logistic regression models, which were adjusted for age, gender, blood pressure, BMI, FBS, smoking,LDL-C and HDL-C, revealed that patients carrying the apoA5 -1131C allele and CC homozygotes were at high risk for T2DMCI. It was concluded that the apoA5 -ll31C allele variant is an independent genetic risk factor for T2DMCI.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifactorial disease, with social difficulties and repetitive behaviors as its core symptoms. With the improvement of diagnostic methods, the detection rate of ASD is increasing year by year.Cognitive flexibility impairment is very obvious in most autistic patients.More and more studies have shown that cognitive flexibility impairment is related to the occurrence and development of core symptoms. However, the mechanism of cognitive flexibility impairment in autism remains unclear. The frontal lobe plays an important role in advanced cognition, and its complete development is related to cognitive function. Recent studies have shown that frontal lobe dysfunction is closely related to cognitive flexibility deficits in autistic patients, and the abnormal changes in the frontal lobe, the associated default mode network dysfunction and frontal striatal circuit defects may be the important mechanisms of cognitive flexibility impairment. Based on the recent clinical and basic studies on cognitive flexibility in autism, this article reviews the mechanisms of frontal lobe and related circuits involved in the impairment of cognitive flexibility in autism.

Objective:A multi-center and large sample volume study was conducted on the verification and improvement of the early established criteria for intelligent routine urinalysis validation (including the microscopic review rules and manual validation rules, referred to as intelligent criteria for short), in order to improve the clinical application of this intelligent criteria.Methods:A total of 31 456 urine specimens were collected from the inpatients and outpatients in six hospitals in China, from March to September 2019. Firstly, 3105 specimens were analyzed for preliminary verification and improvement of the intelligent criteria based on the results of the microscopic examination and manual validation. Secondly, 28 351 specimens were used to verify the clinical application of the improved intelligent criteria. All samples were manually validated as reference.Results:The approval inconsistency rate of the manual validation rules in the original intelligent criteria was 8.59% (202/2 352), and the interception inconsistency rate was 8.84% (208/2 352). The false negative rate and the microscopic review rate of the microscopic review rules were similar to the previous results. Based on an in-depth analysis of big data and the discussions by senior technicians from eight hospitals, one microscopic review rules and four manual validation rules were added, meanwhile two manual validation rule was deleted. The manual validation standards were unified. Finally, the intelligent criteria was improved. Based on the improved intelligent criteria, for microscopic review rules, the false positive rate, false negative rate (misdiagnosis rate), and microscopic review rate did not change significantly, which were 14.72% (457/3 105), 4.06% (126/3 105), and 24.73% (768/3 105), respectively. The approval inconsistency rate and the interception inconsistency rate of manual validation rules were both reduced to 0; the total manual validation rate of the intelligent criteria was 50.89% (1 580/3 105), and the auto-validation rate was 49.11% (1 525/3 105). The large sample volume verification results were consistent with the preliminary verification results of the improved intelligent criteria.Conclusion:This multi-center and large sample volume study had shown that the improved intelligent criteria had better clinical performance.

ObjectiveTo identify the members of the Rehmannia glutinosa miR166 gene family and clarify the response mode under adversity. MethodHigh-throughput sequencing technology was employed to obtain a small RNA database and the miR166 family members of R. glutinosa were screened out. The precursor structures were analyzed by RNAfold. DNAMAN and MEGA were used for conservative and evolutionary analyses， respectively. TargetFinder software was used to predict the target genes of R. glutinosa miR166 family members. The expression of miR166 family members in response to abiotic stress was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）. ResultFive miR166s were identified with precursors possessing complete stem-loop structures. As revealed by sequence alignment results， the precursors and matures were both highly conserved. Forty-eight target genes of miR166s were predicted， which were mainly annotated to the HD-ZIP Ⅲ family transcription factors. The expression characteristics showed that the expression of miR160s was up-regulated after R. glutinosa was infected by endophytic fungi， which was different from the expression of the family members under abiotic stress. The expression level of rgl-miR166b-5p in the drought-flood treatment group and the high-low temperature treatment group was significantly down-regulated compared with that in the control group， and the expression pattern was opposite under the endophytic fungal infection. ConclusionThe results of this study preliminarily clarified the expression patterns of R. glutinosa in response to biotic and abiotic stresses and provided a theoretical basis for future breeding and improvement of R. glutinosa.
