Studying the role of regulated necrosis-related pathways in AKI is expected to provide a new direction for clarifying the pathogenesis and treatment of AKI, with potential therapy and application prospects. In this review, we summarize the related signaling pathways of necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis, and the related research progress in AKI, in order to provide potential targets for the prevention and treatment of AKI.

Objective To isolate bacteriophages against extensively-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii from hospital sewage and analyze their biological characteristics.Methods Extensively-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from several hospitals in Shanghai during December, 2013 to July, 2014 were used as host bacteria, adopting double-layer agar method to isolate bacteriophages from raw sewage of these hospitals.The phage with broad host range was selected for further study, including observation of electron microscopic morphology, examination of thermal stability, pH stability and the optimal MOI, drawing of the adsorption, one-step-growth and infection curves, as well as sequencing of the phage genome DNA. Results An extensively-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii bacteriophage vB_AbaP_PD-AB9 ( PD-AB9 for short) with broad host range was isolated, and electron microscopy revealed it belonged to Podoviridae family.The optimal MOI of PD-AB9 was 0.001.PD-AB9 remained stable among 4 ℃to 50 ℃and pH 4 to 11.In the adsorption experiment, the adsorption rate of PD-AB9 reached above 95%within 5 min.PD-AB9 had a latent period of 4 min and a burst size of 213.PD-AB9 could obviously restrain the host growth, with faster effect at the higher MOIs (MOI=1, 0.1, 0.01) than at the lower ones (MOI=0.001, 0.000 1).Furthermore, genome of PD-AB9 proved to be a double-stranded linear DNA with size of 40 938 bp and GC content of 39.34%.Conclusions PD-AB9 exhibits good thermal stability, wide pH tolerance range, very fast adsorption, a short latent period, a large burst size and it could quickly cause effective host lysis after infection.Therefore, PD-AB9 is promised to act as a new antimicrobial agent to control drug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infections and its bio information remains to be further studied.

Objective: To investigate the relationships between behavioral problems and family environment in obese children aged 6-15 years to provide a dereference for the analysis of behavioral problems among obese children and the construction of their family environmet . Methods: Family environment dimensions and behavioral problems were investigated among 2 376 obese children and 2 376 non-obese children with Family Environment Scale Symptoms Questionnaire and Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist. Data were analyzed by SPSS 17.0. Results: The incidence of the behavioral problems in obese children (21.12%) was higher than that of non-obese children (15.53%)(χ2=24.93，P<0.01).The scores of Family Environment Scale Symptoms Questionnaire differed between obese children and nonobese children (Z=-2.44, -2.98, -3.38, P<0.05). Binary logistic regression results showed that for obese boys and girls aged 6 to 11 years, high maternal education levels(OR=0.78, 95%CI=0.69-0.88), family cohesion(OR=0.75, 95%CI=0.67-0.84) and less family conflicts(OR=0.81, 95%CI=0.75-0.87) were related to less behavioral problems; for obese boys and girls aged 12 to 15 years, family cohesion(OR=0.79, 95%CI=0.70-0.90) and less family conflicts(OR=0.78, 95%CI=0.71-0.86) were related to less behavioral problems. Conclusion Family cohesion and less family conflicts might help low the risk of behavioral problems among obese children. The role of family environment on behavioral problems should not be neglected in future mental health promotion and social work service for obese children.

In order to express and purify the catalytic domain of SHP-1/SHP-2 (named as D1C and D2C respectively) and determine their kinetics, the constructed D1C and D2C plasmids were transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 and the expression was induced with IPTG. The harvested cells were suspended in extraction buffer. After sonication, the solution was applied to HPLC and the results were confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The purified peptides were further subjected to kinetic specificity study using synthetic phosphotyrosine (pY) as substrate by malachite green method and analyzed by Lineweaver-Burk plot calculation. From this study, we found D1C and D2C were expressed successfully in soluble state in Escherichia coli BL21 and purified efficiently with HPLC system. The molecular weight of D1C was 34.6 kD, and its Michaelis constant (K(m)) was 2.04 mmol catalytic constant (K(cat)) was 44.98 s(-1), specific constant (K(cat)/K(m)) was 22.05 L/(mmol x s); the molecular weigh of D2C was 35.3 kD, and its Michaelis constant (K(m)) was 2.47 mmol, catalytic constant (K(cat)) was 27.45 s(-1), specific constant (K(cat)/K(m)) was L/(mmol x s). The enzyme activity of D1C is stronger than that of D2C.
