Objective To investigate the time distribution of pre-hospital emergency stroke patients,so as to provide recommendations for stroke prevention and control.Methods The information of 2844 stroke patients from 2013 to 2016 was collected from emergency medical center of Wenzhou,and circular distribution method was used to analyze the seasonal stroke incidence.Results Both seasonal and daily occurrence of cerebralvascular accidents showed weak(all r<0.3) trends of centralization(all P<0.05).The average angle for each year was not equal,and the average angle of 2014 was significantly different from the other years(P<0.05). The peak time point of every year(except 2014)was on the 4th of January and the peak time period was from the 2nd of September to the 9th of May of next year. The average angle for every day was(230.965±108.999)°(P<0.05),which suggested that the peak time point was 14:35,and the peak time period was from 7:19 to 21:51.Conclusion Stroke morbidity has obvious seasonality in Wenzhou,and the peak time was in winter and spring. Besides,the cerebralvascular accidents occures more often in the day time.The time distribution characteristics of stroke patients should be considered when studying the causes of stroke.

To establish a new amino acid structure descriptor that can be applied to polypeptide quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) studies, a new descriptor, SVRDF, was derived from a principal components analysis of a matrix of 150 radial distribution function index of amino acids. The scale was then applied in three panels of peptide QSAR that were molded by partial least squares regression. The obtained models with the correlation coefficients (R2(cum)), cross-validation correlation coefficients (Q2(cum)) were 0.766 and 0.724 for 48 bitter tasting dipeptides; 0.941 and 0.811 for 21 oxytocin analogues; 0.996 and 0.919 for 20 thromboplastin inhibitors. Satisfactory results showed that information related to biological activity can be systemically expressed by SVRDF scales, which may be an useful structural expression methodology for the study of peptides QSAR.

Infectious bronchitis in chickens is a serious threat to the global poultry industry.Despite the availability of commercial vaccines,the epidemic has not been effectively controlled.Therefore,the development of novel vaccines may provide new ways to prevent and control this disease.In this study,BLP-S1,a bacterium-like particle displaying the S1 subunit of infectious bronchitis virus on its surface,was constructed using the GEM-PA system.The immunoprotection results showed that BLP-S1 effectively induced the production of specific IgG and sIgA in commercial chickens and provided effective protection against a heterologous strain with a protection rate of up to 90%.This study demonstrated that BLP-S1 has good immunogenicity and immunoprotection,with the poten-tial to develop a novel vaccine against infectious bronchitis.

Objective: To investigate the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein deployment technique for percutaneous closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) solely under echocardiography guidance. Methods: A total of 38 ASD patients received pulmonary vein deployment in our hospital from 2012-10 to 2016-09 since the conventional method could not deliver the occluder to correct place. The patients were with the mean age at (16.0±15.6) years, body weight at (37.2±22.9) kg and ASD diameter at (17.1±4.2) mm. Operative effect was assessed by echocardiography. Follow-up study was conducted at 1, 3, 6, 12 months post-operation and at each year thereafter. Results: 37 patients were successfully finished pulmonary vein deployment for percutaneous closure of ASD solely under echocardiography guidance. One patient was successfully treated by a controlled steerable sheath. The mean operative time was (25.2±5.1) min and mean diameter of ASD occluder was (22.9±5.6) mm. 2 patients had trivial residual shunt at the early post-operative stage. No peripheral vascular injury, pulmonary vein and cardiac perforation occurred. All 38 patients were recovered and discharged. The average in-hospital time was (2.9±0.7) days. The patients were followed-up for (23.9±15.4) months, without complications of residual shunt, pericardial effusion, aortic regurgitation and pulmonary vein stenosis. Conclusion: Pulmonary vein deployment technique for percutaneous closure of ASD solely under echocardiography guidance was safe and effective; it can avoid radiation damage and provided a simple and practical method for ASD patients who failed to conventional method under echocardiography guidance.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-articular injection of adalimumab (ADA) in the treatment of refractory oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods: This was a retrospective study. Clinical data on age, gender, and symptoms of joint swelling and pain were collected from 11 children with refractory oligoarticular JIA involving only knee joints admitted to Department of Rheumatism and Immunology of Children's Hospital, Capital Institute of Pediatrics from November 2019 to October 2020. The physician and parent-child evaluation of disease activity, the number of active joints, and the level of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) at different treatment time points were analyzed at every 4-week observation point after drug administration, and the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test was used to compare the differences in clinical evaluation indicators and changes in laboratory tests at different treatment times. The follow-up period was 6 months. Results: Among the 11 children, 5 were boys and 6 were girls. The age was 3.0 (2.8) years. All 11 children had symptoms of joint swelling and pain as well as limitation of movement. After 3 intra-articular injections of ADA, the joint symptoms of 11 children were better than before treatment; the joint symptoms of 7 children disappeared completely, and no recurrence occurred during the 6-month follow-up period. At different treatment times, physician and parent-child evaluation of disease activity, a gradual decrease in the number of active joints in the children, ESR, and juvenile arthritis disease activity score with 27 joints were all statistically significant (χ2=53.99, 59.37, 32.87, 40.07, 54.00, all P<0.001).No significant adverse drug reactions were observed in any of the 11 children during treatment and follow-up. Conclusion: Intra-articular injection of ADA in the treatment of refractory oligoarticular JIA has a significant effect in controlling joint symptoms and is relatively safe.

In order to reveal the molecular mechanism of blue labeled genic male sterility (BM-type GMS) and utilize the heterosis of BM-type GMS, we used the anthers of white-seed plants WS (sterile) and light blue seed plants WF (normal fertility) as experimental materials to analyze the differences in gene expression between them by transcriptome technology. And we also verified the genes expressed in anthocyanin synthesis in this study. Compared with WF, a total of 2352 differentially expressed genes were detected in WS. According to GO functional annotation, these genes could be divided into 3 categories and 43 subgroups. They are mainly involved in biosynthesis, phenylpropane metabolism, L-phenylalanine catabolism, membrane components, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, ATP binding, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, etc. KEGG pathway analysis showed that there were 159 genes enriched in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, followed by the phenylalanine pathway, including 136 differentially expressed genes. Other genes are also involved a variety of amino acid metabolism, purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism and sugar metabolism pathway. Related to anthocyanin metabolism, several structural genes of key enzymes were differentially expressed, and most of them were up-regulated in WF, while only Flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H) and colorless anthocyanin dioxygenase (ANS) were down-regulated. Quantitative real-time PCR showed that the expression of 10 genes related to anthocyanin metabolism had the same trend as that in transcriptome sequencing data. Sequence homology analysis showed that the two selected transcription factors (DN48762c2g1 and DN25944c0g1) are clustered into the same cluster as the transcription factors regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in maize, rice and Arabidopsis thaliana, which might be candidate genes for the blue aleurone layer of light blue seed plants in wheat. And fluorescence quantitative analysis showed that the expression level of DN48762c2g1 and DN25944c0g1 in WF was significantly higher than that in WS. In conclusion, the genes related to the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway are not only related to the blue grain trait, but also may be involved in the anther abortion of BM-type GMS.
