Objective:To establish a Mongolian gerbils model by long-term infection of Helicobacter py-lori (Hp) with highly-expressed thioredoxin-1 (Trx1 ) gene and to investigate the histopathological findings of gastric mucosa in Mongolian gerbils.Methods:In this study,75 healthy male Mongolian ger-bils were randomly divided into 3 groups:Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group (n =30),Hp with lowly-expressed Trx1 gene group (n =30),and control group (n =15).The animals underwent gastric perfusion of Hp suspension once a week for 5 weeks.The animals were sacrificed at the end of 4,20, 34,48,70,and 90 weeks after inoculation for detecting Hp colonization by rapid urease test and War-thin-Starry silver staining and histological examination,respectively.Results:(1)The Mongolian gerbil model of long-term infection of Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene and lowly-expressed Trx1 gene were successfully established.(2)The macroscopic mucosal lesions,including erythema,uneven,erosion, nodules,etc.could be observed in experimental groups.The severity of lesions and the time when lesions occurred in Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group were heavier/earlier than that in Hp with lowly-ex-pressed Trx1 gene group.(3)Histopathologically,the gastric mucosa of Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group showed the mild dysplastic hyperplasia of epithelial cells 34 weeks after the Hp inoculation, and the time was in the 48th week in Hp with lowly-expressed Trx1 gene group.At the end of the 90th week after Hp inoculation,the gastric adenocarcinoma could be detected in the two experimental groups (71.4% vs.42.8%).The difference between the two experimental groups did not reach statistical sig-nificance (P =0.592),which might be due to the small sample capacity and /or short observation time. In addition,there were 2 cases with severe epithelial dysplastic hyperplasia in Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene group,and only 3 cases with moderate epithelial dysplastic hyperplasia in Hp with lowly-ex-pressed Trx1 gene group.The uninfected control animals showed no abnormal findings throughout the en-tire observation period.Conclusion:Hp with highly-expressed /lowly-expressed Trx1 gene colonizes stab-ly in the glandular gastric mucosa of Mongolian gerbils.The histological changes after infection are similar to those of the Hp infected human being,and Hp with highly-expressed Trx1 gene cause the injury of gas-tric mucosa and the occurrence of gastric adenocarcinoma.Trx1 maybe the virulence factor that partici-pates in the pathogenesis of gastric cancer and Hp expressing high levels of Trx1 should be highly toxic for gastric diseases in China.

Objective:To observe the effect of Er Chen Tang on CYP2E1 and mitochondrial energy metabolism in nonalcoholic fat-ty liver disease ( NAFLD) to explore the role of Pinellinae Rhizoma Praeparata ( PRP) and Citri reticulatae pericarpium ( CRP) in the treatment of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Methods:Er ChenTang and the prescription without PRP or CRP was respectively given the animal models by gastric gavage. The serum levels of ALT, AST, triglyceride, cholesterol, SOD and MDA in hepatic tissue, and the contents of liver tissue CYP2E1 and ATP were detected in the mice. Results:The CYP2E1 levels in NAFLD mice increased signif-icantly with abnormal mitochondrial energy metabolism. Compared with those in the model group, the levels of ALT, AST, triglyceride and cholesterol were significantly reduced by Er Chen Tang, meanwhile, the content of CYP2E1 was reduced and also restored liver en-ergy metabolism. The treatment effect significantly decreased when the lack of PRP or CRP, and the ability of restoring liver mitochon-drial energy metabolism of Er Chen Tang decreased significantly when the lack of PRP (P<0. 05). After the removal of CRP, the in-hibition ability of Er Chen Tang to CYP2E1 levels significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Er Chen Tang can effectively im-prove nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases, and effectively reduce the content of CYP2E1 in liver tissue of mice and restore the mitochondri-al energy metabolism.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the relationship between dietary habits and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Cantonese women.
METHDSThis a cross-sectional study included 571 pregnant women who underwent a 75-g oral glucose challenge test at the 24th to 28th gestational week. Food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used by three dieticians to evaluate all the subjects' dietary habits.
RESULTS13% of the investigated subjects were identified to have GDM (GDM⁺). No significant differences were found between the GDM⁺ and GDM⁻ groups in the intake of energy, macronutrients, fibers, or cholesterol. The amount of low- and middle-GI fruits consumed daily in the two groups was not statistically different, but the GDM⁺ subjects reported a significantly greater amount of high-GI fruit intake as well as energy-dense foods than the GDM⁻ subjects (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that increased consumption of energy-dense snack foods and high glycemic-index fruits were strongly associated with the risk of GDM.
CONCLUSIONLocal dietary composition (high-GI fruit and energy-dense foods) is closely related to the risk of GDM in Cantonese women, for whom intensive health education of dietary behavior is needed to control GDM.

Objective To establish a neural network model based on enhanced CT for distinguishing ISUP grade of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods We collected 131 cases of ccRCC, with 92 cases of low ISUP grade and 39 cases of high ISUP grade. Patients were divided into training set and validation set according to 5:5 stratified sampling. The enhanced CT images of each ccRCC patient were evaluated by the radiologist. Recursive feature elimination (RFE) was used to reduce the dimension of patients' general features and enhanced CT features, which was used for neural network modeling and validation. Results Patients' general features and enhanced CT features were verified by RFE method and then reduced to 14 features. The top 5 features were growth pattern, necrosis, enlargement of lymph nodes, tumor size and capsule. The AUC of the neural network model based on these 5 features in training set was 0.8844 (95%

Medical imaging is an important auxiliary means of disease diagnosis. In the process of diagnosis, diseases are usually presented in a static way, which is one of the characteristics of imaging diagnosis. However, this static representation of diseases imposes certain limitations, which can, to some extent, lead to the loss of medical humanities. Therefore, it is very important for imaging diagnostic doctors to correctly use philosophical thinking to understand, analyze, and solve problems. The reinforcement of philosophical thinking in imaging diagnosis entails commitment to the "patient-centered" perspective in medicine as well as the integration of comprehensiveness, regularity, and proactivity. This not only effectively trains the diagnostic thinking of imaging diagnostic doctors but also improves their humanistic quality, thereby addressing the problems associated with these limitations. This allows the diagnosis to be both technically accurate and emotionally attuned.

Cutinase can degrade aliphatic and aromatic polyesters, as well as polyethylene terephthalate. Lack of commercially available cutinase calls for development of cost-effective production of efficient cutinase. In this study, eight cutinase genes were cloned from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. The most active gene SsCut-52 was obtained by PCR combined with RT-PCR, expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography to study its characteristics and pathogenicity. Sscut-52 had a total length of 768 bp and 17 signal peptides at the N terminals. Phylogenetic analysis showed that its amino acid sequence had the highest homology with Botrytis keratinase cutinase and was closely related to Rutstroemia cutinase. Sscut-52 was highly expressed during the process of infecting plants by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Moreover, the expression level of Sscut-52 was higher than those of other cutinase genes in the process of sclerotia formation from mycelium. The heterologously expressed cutinase existed in the form of inclusion body. The renatured SsCut-52 was active at pH 4.0-10.0, and mostly active at pH 6.0, with a specific activity of 3.45 U/mg achieved. The optimum temperature of SsCut-52 was 20-30 ℃, and less than 60% of the activity could be retained at temperatures higher than 50 ℃. Plant leaf infection showed that SsCut-52 may promote the infection of Banlangen leaves by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.

Recent studies have discovered a selective autophagy-lipophagy, which can selectively identify and degrade lipids and plays an important role in regulating cellular lipid metabolism and maintaining intracellular lipid homeostasis. The process of lipophagy can be directly or indirectly regulated by genes, enzymes, transcriptional regulators and other factors. This review examines the role of lipophagy in reducing liver lipid content, regulating pancreatic lipid metabolism, and regulating adipose tissue differentiation, and summarizes the findings of the molecules (Rab GTPase, enzymes, ion channels, transcription factors, small molecular substances) involved in the regulation of lipophagy, which points to new directions for the treatment of diseases caused by lipid accumulation.
