Objective To investigate the influence of newborns born to mother with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Method The clinical data of SLE mothers and their infants bern in the obstetric and were admitted to the neonatal ward ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from July 2012 to March 2015 were studied retrospectively.The infants were divided into active SLEactivity group and stable SLE group.The incidence of preterm birth,small for gestational age (SGA),cardiac conduction block,anemia,and thrombocytopenia were compared between the two groups of SLE mothers.Result A total of 66 infants were included in SLE mothers,including 14 cases (21.2％) of preterm infants and 18 cases of SGA (27.3％).14 cases belonged to the active SLE group while 52 cases belonged to the SLE stable group.When comparing the 2 groups,there were no differences found on the rates of preterm infant and small for gestational age (P ＞ 0.05).The cardiac conduction block,anemia and thrombocytopenia happened separately in three cases of the active group,which had not seen in the SLE stable group.There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Of the 66 cases,2 were diagnosed with neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) with an incidence of 3％.Conclusion SLE mothers with an active disease 10 days before delivery did not significantly increase the incidence of preterm infants and SGA,but were at risk of NLE.

Objective To investigate whether γH2AX could be a useful biomarker for evaluating the DNA double‐stranded . Methods Semem samples in case group were from 27 infertile males who were diagnosed in Andriatrics department or reproductive centre in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University .The other semen samples were from 23 healthy donors with fertility as comparison .The levels of γH2AX were detected by flow cytometry .Single cell gel electropherosis(SCGE)was applied to assess the level of DSBs of sperm .Density gradient centrifugation(DGC) was applied to optimized spermatozoa .Results TheγH2AX levels and the DSBs of the sperm of the infertile subjects were significantly higher than those of healthy males(P<0 .01) , and the levels of γH2AX and the DSBs of sperm significantly decreased in two groups by DGC(P<0 .01) .Conclusion The level of spermatozoaγH2AX is higher in male infertility patients than in healthy donors with fertility ,which might be a useful biomarker for evaluating DSBs of sperm .

Objective To test the mutation locus of uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase gene (UGT1A1) in a Chinese patient with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type Ⅰ and her family members,analyzing the genetic characteristics of the pedigree.Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from the patient and her family members and other 50 full-term infants with normal serum bilirubin as a healthy control group.Fifty cases of full-term newborn whose serum bilirubin level were nomal were study as controls.The promoter and all exons of UGT1A1 gene were amplified by the method of polymerase chain reactions (PCR),and mutations were identified by direct sequencing.Results The propositus and her miscarriage sister were homozygous for a nonsense mutation at nucleotide number 715 (715C ＞ T) in exon 1 of gene UGT1A1,substituting of stop codon (TAG) for glutamine (CAG) at position 239 (Q239X).The other 5 members were heterozygous in the same mutation locus.A TA insertion mutation and a G71R mutation in exon 1 were observed in the family members.The patient and her sister were homozygous of A(TA)7TAA mutation while other four were heterozygous.Propositus,grandmother,mother and her younger brother were heterozygous of G71 R mutation.No mutation was found in exons 2-5.No mutation was found in other fifty healthy cases in the healthy control group.Conclusions Q239X homozygous mutations is considered to be the lethal gene in this Crigler-Najjar syndrome family.Collaborative G71 R and A(TA)7TAA mutations may further reduce the enzyme activity of UGT1A1,causing varying degrees of bilirubin disorder.

Microalgae is an easy-to-obtain natural biological material with many varieties and abundant natural reserves. Microalgae are rich in natural fluorescein, which can be used as a contrast agent for fluorescence imaging and photoacoustic imaging for medical imaging. With its active surface, microalgae can effectively adsorb functional molecules, metal elements, etc., and have good application prospects in the field of drug delivery. Microalgae can generate oxygen through photosynthesis to increase local oxygen concentration, reverse local hypoxia to enhance the efficacy of hypoxic tumors and promote wound healing. In addition, microalgae have good biocompatibility, and different administration methods have no obvious toxicity. This paper reviews the research progress on the biomedical application of microalgae in bioimaging, drug delivery, hypoxic tumor treatment, wound healing.

The uridine diphosphate_glucuronosyl transferase 1A1(UGT1A1)gene mutation can affect the ex_pression of UGT1A1 gene and enzyme activity,and then reduce bilirubin metabolism leading to unconjugated hyperbi_lirubinemia. With the development of molecular biotechnology,more and more studies are trying to identify the patho_genesis of these polymorphisms by analyzing the expression and enzyme activity of UGT1A1 gene polymorphisms. Now, the progresses in the study of the expression of UGT1A1 gene polymorphism were reviewed.

With the rapid development of organ transplantation in China,the donation after cardiac death (DCD) donor organs are widely used.However,the quality of these organs is relatively poor,so the way to preserve and maintain organ still remains a severe problem.Among them,ischemic reperfusion injury (IRI) impairs the organs severely.Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) protects organs from stress conditions,including ischemia-reperfusion injury,and the activation and autophagy inhibition also protects the organs from stress conditions as well.Recent studies showed that ALDH2 can regulate autophagy to inhibit the organ injury during ischemia-reperfusion.Our study aims to discuss the new findings in this mechanism.

OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement effects of isopimpinelline on p-chlorophenylalanine（PCPA）-induced pineal injury model rats and its effect on expression of biological clock gene. METHODS ：Totally 60 rats were divided into blank control group（2％ polysorbate solution），model control group （2％ polysorbate solution），positive control group （melatonin，10 mg/kg） and isopimpinelline high-dose ，medium-dose and low-dose groups （3，1.5，0.75 mg/kg）. Except for blank control group ，rats in other groups were given PCPA intraperitoneally （450 mg/kg）to establish pineal injury model. After modeling finished ，they were given relevant medicine intragastrically ，once a day ，for consecutive 7 d. On the 6th day of administration ，the sleep latency and sleep duration of rats in each group were investigated by pentobarbital sodium coordination sleep test ；after last administration ， ELISA assay was used to determine the serum level of melatonin in rats. Fluorescence microscope and electron microscope were used to observe the pathological tissue and cell ultrastructure changes of the pineal gland. RT-qPCR was used to detect the mRNA expressions of biological clock gene Clock，Bmal1，Per1，Per2，Per3，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland of rats. RESULTS ：Compared with blank control group ，model control group had significantly longer sleep latency （P＜0.05）；serum melatonin ，mRNA expressions of Bmal1 and Per1 in pineal gland were significantly decreased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）while mRNA expression of Per3 was increased significantly （P＜0.05）. The pineal gland cell arrangement disorder ，nuclear pyknosis ，vacuolar degeneration increased and cell number decreased significantly ；mitochondria swollen ，cristae broken and pyknosis were observed. Compared with model control group ，the sleep latency of isopimpinelline high-dose group was shortened significantly （P＜0.05），sleep duration time was prolonged significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum ，mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1， Per1，Cry1 and Cry2 in pineal gland of rats were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In isopimpinelline medium-dose group，the sleep latency was shortened significantly （P＜0.05）；the levels of melatonin in serum and mRNA expressions of Clock， Bmal1，Per1，Cry1，Cry2 in pineal gland were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. In isopimpinelline low-dose group ，the levels of mRNA expressions of Clock，Bmal1，Per2 and Cry2 were increased significantly （P＜0.05），while mRNA expression of Per3 was decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Cell arrangement disorder was improved and nuclear pyknosis vacuole degeneration was decreased to some extent in isopimpinelline groups；mitochondria swelled ，cristae fractured ，and pyknosis decreased to some extent. CONCLUSIONS ：Isopimpinelline can improve PCPA-induced pineal gland injury in rats ；it can up-regulate the expressions of positive regulators Clock，Bmal1 and negative regulators Per1，Per2，Cry1，Cry2，while down-regulate the expression of negative regulator Per3.

Objective: To investigate whether plague phages were present in the indicator animals of plague foci in Yunnan Province, and to explore their epidemiological significance. Methods: Anus swabs were collected from indicator animals (dogs or cats) of the 41 plague affected villages in 26 towns of 10 cities (counties, districts) of Yunnan plague foci from November of 2015 to March of 2018. The Yersinia pestis phages were isolated by plague vaccine strain EV76. The isolation of plague phages from different plague foci, the isolation of plague phages from different canine species (cats), the polymorphism of plaque and the host spectrum of phages were analyzed. Results: A total of 1 014 indicator animals (1 003 dogs and 11 cats) were studied, and 102 of plague phages were isolated. In the 10 cities (counties, districts), plague phages were only not isolated from Lancang County, and the plague phages were isolated from the other 9 cities (counties, districts). The separation rates from high to low were as follows: Yiliang County (21.00%, 21/100), Menghai County (19.23%, 25/130), Yuanjiang County (11.63%, 10/86), Midu County (11.50%, 13/113), Wenshan County (10.10%, 10/99), Mile Country (7.07%, 7/99), Lianghe County (6.67%, 7/105), Baoshan Longyang District (4.90%, 5/102) and Gengma County (3.81%, 4/105). Of the 102 plague phages, 75 were isolated from the native dogs (Chinese pastoral dogs, 9.32%, 75/805), 20 from the pug dogs (13.70%, 20/146), 5 from the wolf dogs (17.24%, 5/29), 1 from Samoye (1/4) and 1 from Alaska dog (1/2). The plaque of the phage was divided by five appearance of complete lysis (the plate was clear), large (2.5-4.0 mm), big (1.5-< 2.5 mm), middle (0.5-< 1.5 mm) and small (< 0.5 mm). The representative phages were all of the Myoviridae family. Most of the phages could lysis the strains of Yersinia pestis, and some phages could lysis Shigella and type 5 Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (PST5). Conclusion The plague phages are present in the plague foci of Yunnan, and the phages are polymorphic.
