Objective To explore the association between complement C3 and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Methods A total of 2 799 health check-up participants were recruited from Tianjin Medical University General Hospital-Health Management Centre. Serum C3 levels were measured using immunoturbidimetry method and simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis were diagnosed by liver ultrasonography and serum alanine aminotransferase concentration. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the association between quartiles of serum C3 levels and the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Results After adjusting for covariates, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis for increasing quartiles of C3 were: 1.00 (reference), 2.15 (1.55, 3.01), 3.28 (2.35, 4.6) and 4.31 (3.11, 6.02); and 1.00 (reference), 4.54 (1.68, 15.91), 7.81 (3.02, 26.67) and 14.91 (5.94, 50.14) (both P for trend<0.000 1), respectively. Conclusions The study found that the elevated C3 levels were significantly associated with the prevalence of simple fatty liver disease and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Further study is needed to clarify whether C3 has a predictive value for the occurrence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Cucumber mosaic virus was detected from infected Basella rubra L. with the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Total RNA was extracted from infected leaves and the cDNAs of coat protein gene of CMV-Ba were obtained by RT-PCR. The amplified cDNA fragments were then cloned into pMD 18-T vector and sequenced,the result showed that the CP gene was 657 nucleotides in length. This sequence was aligned with the obtained CP gene and some CMV strains or isolates of subgroup Ⅰ and subgroup Ⅱ in GenBank using DNA MAN software. The results showed that CMV-Ba shared 90.9%~93.8% and 76.1%~76.9% identity with the known CP genes of subgroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ respectively in nucleotide level,on the other hand,amino acids deduced from CMV-Ba CP gene shared 92.7%~97.7% and 72.4%~78.1% identity with the known CP protein of subgroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ,respectively. This suggested that CMV-Ba CP gene belongs to CMV subgroupⅠ.

AIM:To investigate the role of minocycline on glutamate uptake in the periventricular zone and its putative mechanism after hypoxic exposure in neonatal rats.METHODS: A model of hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) was developed by putting postnatal 1 d rat pups in 5%O2 for 3.5 h.The glutamate level in periventricular zone was measured by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry assay ( LC-MS/MS) after hypoxic exposure for 4 h and 1 d.The dynamic changes of glutamate transporters EAAT1, and EAAT2 during developmental period in periventricular zone were determined by Western blot.Moreover, the expression of EAAT1, EAAT2, Iba-1, IL-1β, TNF-αand TGF-β1 was also detected by Western blot after hypoxic exposure for 4 h and 1 d in that region.The effects of mino-cycline on all parameters mentioned above were tested after minocycline treatment at the same time points and in the same region.RESULTS:After hypoxic exposure, glutamate level was increased, but it was decreased after minocycline treat-ment.EAAT1 and EAAT2 kept a low expression level at the first postnatal week, but a predominant elevation was found at the end of the second postnatal week.The expression of EAAT1, EAAT2, Iba-1, IL-1βand TGF-β1 was increased at 1 d after hypoxic exposure.EAAT1 and TNF-αexpression was significantly up-regulated, while EAAT2 was down-regulated af-ter minocycline treatment.CONCLUSION: Minocycline inhibits the increase in the glutamate level after hypoxia in periventricular region of the neonatal rats.The mechanism may relate to the selective regulation of glutamate transporters, rather than the inhibition of neuroinflammation in periventricular zone.
