BACKGROUND: Currently, the researches on knee plaster immobilization paralysis animal models are popular in the world, but there are some insufficiencies with the knee paralysis animals, for example, poor animal selection, inappropriate plaster selection and pure gypsum instability, which affect the subsequent results.
OBJECTIVE: To establish a rabbit model of knee paralysis by the knee fixation with plaster casts and wire.
METHODS: A total of 20 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. Models of right knee paralysis were established and fixed by plaster casts and wire. Normal controls were considered as the control group. At 8 weeks after fixation, right knee and pathologic histology were observed in the right knee.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The knee joints were translucent, smooth, and shiny, without the cartilage defect in the control group, and the cartilaginous elasticity and rigidity were good, and the arrangement of chondrocytes was normal. There were no inflammatory infiltrations in the articular capsule of the normal rabbits. In the model group, the knee joint was matt and opaque. Articular cartilage became thin, and showed poor elasticity. The cartilages were degenerated. Articular surface was rough, and had defects. There were smal amount of joint fluid or no joint fluid. Cartilage cel s shrank or disappeared, and the number of cartilage cel s reduced with degeneration and necrosis. Subchondral bone became sclerosis with trabecular bone of hyperplasia. The arrangement of cartilage cel s was disordered, with hyalinization and synovial vil ous hypertrophy. Cel clustering phenomenon was seen. There were a large number of lymphocytes, plasma cel s and neutrophil infiltration in cartilages. The typical pathological changes of the knee paralysis present in the rabbit cartilage. These results demonstrate that the rabbit model of knee paralysis can be successful y established by using fixation method with plaster casts and wire, which has the advantages of simple operation, strong fixation and no injury.

A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric ( HPLC-MS / MS) method coupled with an immunoaffinity clean-up column was successfully developed for determination of aflatoxins (AFB1 , AFB2 , AFG1 , AFG2 , AFM1 and AFM2 ) and zeranols ( α-zeranol, β-zeranol, α-zearalenol,β-zearalenol, zearalanone and zearalenone ). The sample was extracted with methanol-acetonitrile (20∶ 80, V/ V) after enzymatic digestion by β-glucuronidase / sulfatase, and the extraction solution was passed through glassy fiber filter paper and then diluted with phosphate buffer solution (PBS). The reconstituted solution was cleaned up with IAC-AZ immunoaffinity column, and then analyzed by HPLC-MS / MS in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The results indicated that the linear detection range was 0. 03-6. 0 μg / L for AFB2 and AFG2 , and 0. 05-20 μg / L for the rest compounds. The correlation coefficients were above 0. 999. The limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0. 01-0. 03 μg / kg and 0. 04-0. 09 μg / kg, respectively. The recoveries of the aflatoxins and zeranols were in the range of 73. 6% -98. 4% at the spiked levels of 0. 5, 1 and 5 μg / kg, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were in the range of 1. 9% -11. 2% . The method was proved to be simple and accurate, and suitable for the rapid determination of aflatoxins and zeranols in animal-originated foods.

Objective This study was conducted to investigate the clinical outcomes and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to the single-opened vessel lesion among patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Methods Twenty-seven patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction≤35%) undergoing PCI were included. All the patients received PCI only to the single-opened vessel lesion under the conditions of: (1) There were limitations to open chronic total occlusion (CTO);(2) Single-opened vessel lesion was not calcified and tortuous. Clinical outcomes, including success rate of PCI, changes of symptoms in-hospital, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) pre-and one week post-PCI, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE, including death, myocardial infarction and target vessel revascularization) at 30-days after discharged were observed. Results The success rate of PCI was obtained in all 27 patients(100%), and all the patients received drug eluting stent implantation. The symptoms improvement occurred in all patients and the NYHA class improved from grade Ⅳto grade Ⅲin 22 patients(81.5%) in-hospital. Significant differences were noted in the mean BNP and LVEF between pre-PCI and one week post-PCI, BNP[(2699.6±1104.7) pg/ml vs. (737.0 ± 261.7) pg/ml, P<0.05],LVEF[(26.9±5.7)%vs. (36.0±3.41)%, P<0.05)]. No MACE happened in-hospital and at 30-days follow up. Conclusions PCI only to the single-opened vessel lesion among patients with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction under the condition of limitations to open CTO is safe and can significantly improve clinical outcomes in-hospital and at 30-days follow up, but it must be emphasized that single-opened vessel lesion not with obvious calcification and tortuosity.

The metabolic profiles of control and MCF-7 cells treated with luteolin were analyzed separately using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry ( GC/MS ) to study the mechanism of the luteolin treatment on MCF-7 cells. Cell viability assays showed that luteolin had inhibition effect on MCF-7 cells. Partial least square discriminant analysis ( OPLS-DA) was used to process the metabolic data. Since cells in phase of S were increased significantly, we speculated that luteolin had a blocking effect on pentose phosphate pathway of MCF-7 cells, which contributed to its inhibition effect on proliferation of MCF-7 cells.

OBJECTIVE AMPK activator,act as exer-cise mimetics,effective in preventing or ameliorating met-abolic diseases,including obesity and diabetes.Systemic activating of AMPK represents an important therapeutic strategy to treat metabolic diseases.However,whether far-infrared(FIR)hyperthermia therapy could be used as exercise mimetic to realize wide-ranging metabolic regu-lation,and its underling mechanisms remain unclear.METHODS The mice were subjected to hyperthermia in the FIR chamber(30±1)℃for 14 d.Exercise endurance was determined using a treadmill.Blood flow were mea-sured by the laser speckle contrast imaging.Combina-tion of microbiomic and metabolomic analysis,diversity of microbiota and metabolic profiling in muscle were detected.The microbiota disorder model via treatment with different cocktails of antibiotics(ABX).RESULTS The material characterization shows that the graphene synthesized by chemical vapour deposition(CVD)is dif-ferent from carbon fi ber,with single-layer structure and high electrothermal transform efficiency.The emission spectra generated by graphene-FIR device would maxi-mize matching those adsorbed by tissues(≈8.0 μm).Gra-phene-FIR improves core and epidermal temperature,and increases blood flow in femoral muscle and abdo-men.The diversity of gut microbiota was increased by graphene-FIR exposure.Graphene-FIR reduced the bac-teroidetes/firmicutes(B/F)ratio and increased the abun-dance of short-chain fatty acids(SCFA)-producing bac-teria,including Allobaculum,Blautia and Anaerostipes.Additionally,graphene-FIR stimulated the expression of SCFAs-sensing receptor(GPR 43),p-AMPK Thr172 and GLUT4,and increased the AMP/ATP ratio,thus enhanc-ing muscle glucose uptake.Metabolomic analyses revealed the significant changes in 25 metabolites,with twenty increased(eg.creatinine and phosphate)and five decreased(eg.lactic acid),and the marked impact of five metabolic pathways,including galactose metabo-lism,glycolysis,gluconeogenesis,fatty acid biosynthesis,butanoate metabolism,pyruvate metabolism.Further-more,a microbiota disorder model also demonstrates that the graphene-FIR effectively restore the exercise endurance with enhanced p-AMPK and GLUT4.CON-CLUSION Our results provide convincing evidence that graphene-based FIR therapy promoted exercise capacity and glucose metabolism via AMPK in gut-muscle axis.These novel insights into graphene-FIR therapy suggest a potential as an exercise mimetic for the treatment of metabolic disease in clinical.

The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines—with a focus on China—will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.
