It′s reported that RNA-binding proteins ( RBP) play key roles in post-transcriptional regulation of eukaryotic genes.The aberrations of RBP are associated with a large number of human disorders , particularly autoimmune and neuro-logic diseases .The interaction between RNA and proteins has been widely explored since the development of the method known as RNA immunoprecipitation with differential display or microarray analysis (RIP-ChIP) around the year of 2000. Since then, diverse derivatives of the RIP-ChIP, such as ultraviolet crosslinking and immunoprecipitation ( CLIP), high-throughput sequencing of CLIP cDNA library (HITS-CLIP), photoactivatable -ribonucleoside-enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation ( PAR-CLIP) , and individual nucleotide resolution CLIP ( iCLIP ) have been developed .All these methods have some advantages over the original RIP-ChIP and greatly facilitate the study of RBP-RNA interactions .Addi-tionally , aided by the next-generation sequencing , transcriptome-wide identification of RBP target sites has become possible and the RNA-binding site resolution of RBP has also improved to some degree .We introduced the basic principles and processes of the interactions between proteins and RNA , focusing on the advantages , disadvantages and prospect of the present genome-wide version of CLIP .

Objective:To comparatively analyze the diagnostic value of patent foramen ovale and the degree of right-to-left shunt among the traditional Valsalva maneuver (VM), the modified Valsalva maneuver (mVM) and the compression of the inferior vena cava combined with modified Valsalva maneuver (CM).Methods:A total of 132 patients with migraine, dizziness, chest pain and other symptoms in Longgang District People′s Hospital of Shenzhen from January 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively enrolled. The detection rate of patent foramen ovale and the degree of right-to-left shunt were assessed among the rest state and after performing the auxiliary maneuvers including VM, mVM and CM respectively.Results:After performing the auxiliary maneuvers, the detection rate of patent foramen ovale was significantly increased (88.6% vs 59.8%) with statistical significance (χ 2=36.026, P<0.001). There was a significant difference in the degree of right-to-left shunt among the three auxiliary maneuvers (χ 2=25.581, P<0.001). CM was the most effective for the detection of the large right-to-left shunt, and the difference was statistically significant compared with VM and mVM ( P<0.001, P=0.002). Conclusions:Auxiliary maneuvers is crucial for the diagnosis of patent foramen ovale. Compared with VM and mVM, performing CM can further improve the detection rate of patent foramen ovale and increase the degree of right-to-left shunt.

Objective This study investigated lower limb biomechanics and lateral asymmetry during the continuous vertical jump(CVJ)landing process in individuals with unilateral functional ankle instability(FAI)and compared these characteristics with those of healthy individuals.Methods Fourteen males with unilateral FAI were selected as the experimental group,and 14 males without ankle joint injury were matched to the control group.Both the groups performed 30 CVJ landing tasks.Lower limb kinematic and kinetic characteristics during the 1st,15th,and 30th CVJ landings were synchronously collected using Vicon and Kistler equipment,and a 2×3 mixed analysis of variance was adopted for the data.Results In the execution of CVJ landing tasks,patients with FAI demonstrated no significant differences in the kinematic and kinetic characteristics of the affected limbs compared with healthy controls.However,a greater degree of lateral asymmetry was observed in the FAI group,particularly in the symmetry index(SI)of the vGRF peak.Despite the increase in the number of jump landings and consequent increase in fatigue levels,which led to adjustments in lower limb movement patterns,these adjustments did not appear to have a significant impact on the biomechanical characteristics and asymmetry of the affected limb in patients with FAI.Conclusions This study provides a theoretical basis for the prevention of recurrent ankle sprains in patients with FAI,as well as rehabilitation training prior to their return to sports.These findings underscore the importance of addressing lower limb asymmetry in the rehabilitation training of patients with FAI to reduce the risk of potential long-term injuries.When formulating rehabilitation plans for patients with FAI,particular attention should be paid to the correction of lower limb asymmetry with consideration of biomechanical adaptability under different states to achieve a more comprehensive rehabilitation outcome.

BACKGROUND:As the end bearing joint of the human body,the ankle joint bears the top-down pressure of the body,which leads to the ankle joint is easy to be damaged in the movement,can induce functional ankle instability,which negatively affects daily life.The study of lower extremity biomechanics in patients with functional ankle instability during counter movement jump is of great significance for scientific training,prevention of ankle injury,and clinical rehabilitation after injury. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the kinetics and kinematics of lower limbs in the longitudinal jumping of functional ankle instability population. METHODS:From March to September 2023,15 male patients with functional ankle instability and 15 healthy people,aged 22-28 years old,were recruited in Soochow University.All subjects completed counter movement jump experiment.Vicon infrared high-speed motion capture system and Kistler three-dimensional force measuring table were used to simultaneously collect the lower limb kinematics and kinetics indexes of the two groups of subjects at the take-off stage of counter movement jump,the instant off the ground,the initial landing moment and the peak moment of vertical ground reaction force. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)At the instant off the ground,the affected side of the functional ankle instability group showed smaller knee internal rotation moment(P=0.020)and smaller ankle internal rotation moment(P=0.009)compared with the affected side of the healthy control group.(2)At the moment of landing,the affected side of the functional ankle instability group showed a smaller hip flexion angle than the affected side of the healthy control group(P=0.039).Compared with the healthy control group,functional ankle instability group showed smaller hip abduction angle(P=0.022),smaller knee varus angle(P=0.010),larger knee external rotation angle(P=0.021),smaller ankle varus angle(P=0.004),and smaller external ankle rotation angle(P=0.008).(3)At the peak of vertical ground reaction force,functional ankle instability group showed a smaller ankle varus angle than healthy control group(P=0.044).(4)The results showed that the lower limb biomechanical characteristics of the patients with functional ankle instability were abnormal compared with the healthy people during counter movement jump,which mainly showed the changes of the kinematics and kinetics indexes of the lower limb joints in the sagittal plane and the frontal plane at the moment of lift-off and landing.These changes reflect that people with functional ankle instability adopt rigid take-off and landing patterns when performing counter movement jump,tend to transfer the load of the affected ankle joint to other joints of the lower limb,and show compensatory phenomenon of the healthy lower limb.Therefore,detection and correction of abnormal biomechanical features should be a part of rehabilitation training for those with functional ankle instability.

ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Danggui Sini Granules （当归四逆颗粒） in treatment of coronary heart disease with cold congealing and blood stasis syndrome. MethodsFifty SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group， a model group， a Danshen Pill （丹参滴丸） group， and a low- and high-dosage Danggui Sini Granules group， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the blank group， the rat model of coronary heart disease with cold congealing and blood stasis syndrome was established by repeated cold stimulation at low temperature combined with intraperitoneal injection of posterior pituitary hormone in all other groups. In the 6th week of modelling， 0.073 g·kg^-1·d^-1 of compound Danshen Pill was given to the Danshen Pill group， 20.2 and 40.4 g·kg^-1·d^-1 of Danggui Sini Granules were given to the low- and high-dose Danggui Sini Granules groups， respectively， and 0.2 ml/10 g of sterile water was given to the blank group and the model group， all for 2 consecutive weeks. The general conditions of the rats were recorded， and the body mass was compared weekly. At the end of the intervention， electrocardiogram， blood rheological indexes， including whole blood low-cut viscosity， whole blood high-cut viscosity， erythrocyte aggregation index， and cardiac index were detected to evaluate the effect of the medication， and HE staining was used to observe the myocardial histopathological changes， TUNEL staining to detect the apoptotic situation of cardiomyocytes， and ELISA to detect the serum thyroid-stimulating hormone （TSH）， free triiodothyronine （FT₃）， free tetraiodothyronine （FT₄） levels and thromboxane B₂ （TXB₂）， 6-keto-prostaglandin F1α （6-Keto-PGF_1α）， endothelin 1 （ET-1）， and nitric oxide （NO） levels. ResultsCompared with the blank group at the same time point， the body mass of rats in the remaining groups decreased at all time points （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）； compared with the model group at the same time point， the body mass of rats in high-dose Danggui Sini Granules group and Danshen Pill group increased at the 6th and 7th weeks （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In the blank group， the S-T segment of the electrocardiogram was close to the isoelectric line， the myocardial structure was regular， the fibres were closely arranged， and the nuclei of the cells were intact and neatly aligned； in the model group， the S-T segment of the electrocardiogram significantly elevated， and the arrangement of the myocardial fibres was obviously disordered， with myocardial cells appearing to be swollen， necrotic， and infiltrated by inflammatory cells， and the apoptosis-positive cells of the cardiac muscle cells obviously increased； in each of the medication groups， the electrocardiogram had a lowered S-T segment， and myocardial fibres were aligned， myocyte structure and morphology were improved， inflammatory cells reduced， and the number of apoptosis-positive cells significantly reduced. Compared with the blank group， the cardiac index， whole blood high cut viscosity， whole blood low cut viscosity， erythrocyte aggregation index increased in the model group， and the serum levels of TSH， FT₃， FT₄， NO， 6-Keto-PGF_1α significantly reduced， and the levels of ET-1 and TXB₂ significantly increased （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the levels of cardiac index， whole blood high cut viscosity， whole blood low cut viscosity， erythrocyte aggregation index， ET-1 and TXB₂ significantly decreased and the levels of NO and 6-Keto-PGF_1α significantly increased in each medication group， and the serum levels of TSH， FT₃， and FT₄ elevated in the high-dose Danggui Sini Granules group and Danshen Pill group （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. The serum TSH level of rats in the low-dose Danggui Sini Granules group was lower than that in Danshen Pill group and the high-dose Danggui Sini Granules group （P＜0.01）. ConclusionDanggui Sini Granules have the effect of alleviating myocardial injury in coronary heart disease with cold congealing and blood stasis syndrome， and its mechanism may be related to reducing myocardial cell apoptosis， improving energy metabolism， and regulating the level of vasoactive factors.

Background music has been increasingly affecting people's lives. The research on the influence of background music on working memory has become a hot topic in brain science. In this paper, an improved electroencephalography (EEG) experiment based on n-back paradigm was designed. Fifteen university students without musical training were randomly selected to participate in the experiment, and their behavioral data and the EEG data were collected synchronously in order to explore the influence of different types of background music on spatial positioning cognition working memory. The exact low-resolution brain tomography algorithm (eLORETA) was applied to localize the EEG sources and the cross-correlation method was used to construct the cortical brain function networks based on the EEG source signals. Then the characteristics of the networks under different conditions were analyzed and compared to study the effects of background music on people's working memory. The results showed that the difference of peak periods after stimulated by different types of background music were mainly distributed in the signals of occipital lobe and temporal lobe ( < 0.05). The analysis results showed that the brain connectivity under the condition with background music were stronger than those under the condition without music. The connectivities in the right occipital and temporal lobes under the condition of rock music were significantly higher than those under the condition of classical music. The node degrees, the betweenness centrality and the clustering coefficients under the condition without music were lower than those under the condition with background music. The node degrees and clustering coefficients under the condition of classical music were lower than those under the condition of rock music. It indicates that music stimulation increases the brain activity and has an impact on the working memory, and the effect of rock music is more remarkable than that of classical music. The behavioral data showed that the response accuracy in the state of no music, classical music and rock music were 86.09% ± 0.090%, 80.96% ± 0.960% and 79.36% ± 0.360%, respectively. We conclude that background music has a negative impact on the working memory, for it takes up the cognitive resources and reduces the cognitive ability of spatial location.
