To explore the effects of long-term treatment of different dietary energy levels on ovarian expression of mRNAs for LHR and FSHR,the present study was performed in nine growth-matched littermate crossbred (Land-race×Large White X Duroc) prepubertal gilts. At approximately 30 kg of body weight and 50 day of age,gilts were housed with individual feeding stalls and placed on a normal level of feeding for 90 days (dl-90) with free ac-cess to water and food throughout the whole research. From d91 ,littermates were divided and randomly assigned to one of the following three treatment lines for 3 weeks till d112:Group H,Group M, and Group L, fed the high energy level diet (n = 3, digestible energy 14.87 MJ/kg), moderate energy level diet (n = 3, digestible energy 12.39 MJ/ kg), and low energy level diet (n = 3, digestible energy 9.98 MJ/kg), respectively. When gilts were slaughtered on d112 after 3 weeks energy treatment, both ovaries of every gilts were collected,snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and re-tained at -80℃ for use to determine and analysis the relative amount of ovarian LHR and FSHR mRNAs using semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Results showed that the effect of dietary energy treatment was notable: the ovarian ex-pression of mRNAs for LHR and FSHR was significantly higher (P<0.05) in gilts treated with high energy diet compared to gilts treated with moderate and low energy diets, while gilts treated with low energy diet had a signifi-cantly lower (P<0.05) ovarian LHR and FSHR expression compared with gilts treated with moderate and high en-ergy diets. These results revealed that ovarian expression of I.HR and FSHR in prepubertal gilts increased as the lev-el of dietary energy intake elevated,i, e. , high energy diet can markedly enhance ovarian expression of mRNAs for LHR and FSHR,whereas energy deficit markedly suppress the expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of Yanghe decoction serum on the proliferation of breast cancer stem cells HMLER90hi and its mechanism. Methods Twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into low,medium and high dose groups containing drug serum and control group, in order to prepare the Yanghe decoction serum and blank serum. After 24 hours of drug intervention,the effects of each group on the proliferation of HMLER90hi cells at 24 h,48 h,and 72 h were detected by MTT assay. The expression of EphA4 and p50 mRNA in each group were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. Results Compared with the blank control group,the cell proliferation activity of each dose group of Yanghe decoction significantly decreased at 24 h (0.818 ± 0.061, 0.706 ± 0.073, 0.587 ± 0.052 vs. 0.928 ± 0.075), 48h (0.760 ± 0.047, 0.638 ± 0.056, 0.510 ± 0.059 vs. 0.973 ± 0.095), and 72 h (0.672 ± 0.102, 0.508 ± 0.092, 0.448 ± 0.048vs.1.023 ± 0.099) (P<0.05 orP<0.01), respectively. After 24 h of drug intervention, compared with the control group, the expression of EphA4 mRNA (0.54 ± 0.07, 0.54 ± 0.07, 0.33 ± 0.04 vs.0.68 ± 0.09) significantly decreased, and p50 mRNA (0.69 ± 0.10, 0.54 ± 0.08, 0.41 ± 0.06vs. 0.85 ± 0.13) significantly decreased in each dose group of Yanghe decoction (P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionsTheYanghe decoction can inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer stem cell HMLER90hi,and its mechanism may be related to its inhibition of the conduction of the juxtacrine pathway of monocyte macrophage.

【Objective】 To analyze the comprehensive factors causing adverse reactions to apheresis platelet donation(ARAPD), so as to provide references for effective prevention of ARAPD. 【Methods】 The 272 cases of ARAPD from 2012 to 2019 in Lanzhou were statistically analyzed, and factors that induced ARAPD were studied. Statistical analysis were performed according to the gender, nationality, occupation, age, weight, donation units, and number of donations. 【Results】 As to the factors inducing ARAPD, anticoagulant reactions accounted for the first(32.4%, 88/272). Women and students were prone to develop ARAPD. Among all age groups, 18~25 years old were most likely to develop ARAPD(53.68%, 10 572/35 265). The incidence of ARAPD were significantly different by ages and weights(P<0.05), and donors with lighter weight were more prone to develop ARAPD(P<0.05). The incidence of ARAPD were also significantly different between first-time and repeated donors(P<0.05), but not among the donation units. 【Conclusion】 The anticoagulant reactions are the leading reason for ARAPD. For female, student, young, light-weight, and first-time blood donors, special attention should be paid and corresponding interventions taken to them.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific digestive disease with abdominal pain, diarrhea, and blood and mucus in stool as the main clinical manifestations and inflammatory injury of colorectal mucosa and submucosa as the main pathological changes. With the change in living habits and dietary structure of people, the incidence and cancer morbidity in UC are rising rapidly all over the world, which has seriously reduced the quality of life and caused a huge social burden. Till now, the pathogenesis has not been elucidated. In western medicine, aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressors are commonly used to relieve symptoms. However, the long-term application will lead to problems such as decreased efficacy and increased adverse reactions. There are more studies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of UC by reducing the inflammatory response, alleviating oxidative stress, protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier, and regulating intestinal microecological imbalance by virtue of the advantages of integrated regulation based on multiple links, levels, and targets. In view of this, the present study reviewed the effect and mechanism of active ingredients of TCM, TCM extracts, TCM pairs, classic TCM compounds, and TCM combined with chemical agents in the treatment of UC based on relevant research articles in recent 10 years to provide references for seeking effective drugs.

There was a male novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia (COVID-19) patient after pulmonary surgery at age of 61 years. The patient had no clear history of contact COVID-19 patient before surgery. He developed transient fever on the 4th day after surgery. The body temperature returned to normal on the 5th day after antibiotic adjustment. The patient developed fever and fatigue again on the 6th day after surgery. A chest CT scan revealed postoperative pneumonia. The patient was treated by ganciclovir and moxifloxacin hydrochloride. The patient's temperature gradually decreased on the 7th to 9th days after the operation. CT scan on the 10th day after surgery showed viral pneumonia, so we immediately raised the level of protection. The novel coronavirus nucleic acid test was positive. The patient was immediately transferred to the designated hospital for treatment. The patient was treated by arbidol, moxifloxacin, human immunoglobulin (PH4), ambroxol and other nutritional symptomatic and supportive treatment. The patient's condition is currently stable. Ten people in close contact with the patient developed symptoms, and their CT scans showed viral pneumonia. Six of them were positive in nucleic acid tests, and the others were still under quarantine observation. This shows that it is easy to confuse the imaging manifestations of pneumonia with novel coronavirus pneumonia after lung surgery. We should perform nucleic acid detection as soon as possible in the early diagnosis of CT and reformulate the treatment protocol.
