Cas9 is a RNA-guided double stranded DNA nuclease that participates in the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Wide-type Cas9 directly silences the expression of target gene by gene splicing. The engineered dCas9 protein with the mutation at D10A and H840A lacks the Cas9' s endonuclease function but keeps its DNA binding activity. dCas9 can activate special genes by fusing with transcription activator. Meanwhile,it can inhibit the gene transcription by directly binding to the target gene and stop gene transcrip?tion. Combination of light sensitive structures and CRISPR can produce light-inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system for control of gene expres?sion. This system is able to activate or inhibit gene expression via the use of controlling blue light(470 nm). In this review,we mainly discuss the development of the light inducible CRISPR/Cas9 system as well as its application in the control of gene expression.

Objective: To observe the eff ect and mechanism of chronic high-fat diet on predation behavior in rats. Methods: Ten female SD rats with 4-week-old were randomly divided into a normal control group (NC group,n=5) and a chronic high-fat diet group (HF group,n=5). The rats in the NC group received the regular diet while rats in the HF group were fed with high-fat diet. Fitf een weeks later, the predation behavior of rats was evaluated by open if eld test and food foraging tests. At the end of experiments, the rats were killed and brain tissues were collected for evaluation of c-Fos protein expression in anterior cingulate cortex by immunohistochemical assay. Results: hT e predation behavior of rats in the HF group was signiif cantly impaired in the competitive or non-competitive food foraging test compared with the control rats (P<0.001). hT e c-fos protein expression in anterior cingulate cortex of rats from the HF group was signiif cantly decreased (P<0.001). Conclusion: Long time high-fat diet can aff ect the predation behavior of rats, which is related todysfunction of neuron in anterior cingulate cortex.

Objective To analyze the compliance and the influencing factors of the children with congenital hypothyroidism (CH).Methods 231 children with CH were collected for this study.The questionnaire survey and referring the case were used to collect relative factors.According to regular follow -up treatment,the children were divided into two groups,one group was good compliance and the other one was bad compliance.The results were ana-lyzed by two -independent sample t -test,2 -test and unconditioned logistic regression analysis.Results (1)Blood TSH(χ2 =59.870,P =0.00) and blood FT4 (χ2 =6.468,P =0.01) were normal,short distance from the hospital (χ2 =16.375,P =0.00),level of education of their mothers was high(χ2 =7.483,P =0.02),and regular compli-ance treatment of children with CH(χ2 =7.483,P =0.024) was good.(2) Logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that serum TSH value(OR =17.135),the short distance(OR =1.692) and diagnosis of CH(OR =4.028) were introduced into the logistic regression model (all P <0.05).Conclusion It is essential to take measures actively and reinforce the management of children with long distance,low -educated,and the diagnosis of TSH.More-over,enhancing the regular treatment compliance of children with CH is the key to improve the growth and develop-ment status of children with CH.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of metabolic parameters of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography(FDG PET-CT)before radiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer receiving radiotherapy. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 37 patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ esophageal squamous cell carcinoma admitted to Anhui Provincial Hospital from 2010 to 2015,who underwent PET-CT scans within 4 weeks before radiotherapy. The following information was collected:age,sex,the location of primary lesion,clinical stage,and treatment regimen.The maximum standard uptake value(SUVmax), mean standard uptake value(SUVmean), metabolic tumor volume(MTV), PET tumor length(PTL),and total lesion glycolysis(TLG)were calculated. The optimal cut-off values of SUVmax, SUVmean,MTV,PTL,and TLG were determined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate survival rates,and the log-rank test was used for survival comparison and univariate prognostic analysis;the Cox model was used for multivariate prognostic analysis of significant variables. Results The area under the ROC curve suggested that MTV>TLG>PTL=0.713>0.679>0.670. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients had better survival time when MTV was less than 27.44 cm3,TLG was less than 166.2 g,and PTL was less than 36.74 mm(P<0.05).The Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that only MTV was an independent prognostic factor for radiotherapy in patients with esophageal cancer(P=0.000). Conclusions MTV, TLG and PTL have certain values in predicting the prognosis of patients with esophageal cancer before radiotherapy, and are helpful for selecting and adjust the clinical treatment regimen and improving the survival rate and prognosis.

Objective: To explore the value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based whole tumor texture analysis in differentiating borderline epithelial ovarian tumors (BEOTs) from FIGO stage I/II malignant epithelial ovarian tumors (MEOTs). Materials and Methods: A total of 88 patients with histopathologically confirmed ovarian epithelial tumors after surgical resection, including 30 BEOT and 58 MEOT patients, were divided into a training group (n = 62) and a test group (n = 26).The clinical and conventional MRI features were retrospectively reviewed. The texture features of tumors, based on T2-weighted imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted imaging, were extracted using MaZda software and the three top weighted texture features were selected by using the Random Forest algorithm. A non-texture logistic regression model in the training group was built to include those clinical and conventional MRI variables with p value < 0.10. Subsequently, a combined model integrating non-texture information and texture features was built for the training group. The model, evaluated using patients in the training group, was then applied to patients in the test group. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess the diagnostic performance of the models. Results: The combined model showed superior performance in categorizing BEOTs and MEOTs (sensitivity, 92.5%; specificity, 86.4%; accuracy, 90.3%; area under the ROC curve [AUC], 0.962) than the non-texture model (sensitivity, 78.3%; specificity, 84.6%; accuracy, 82.3%; AUC, 0.818). The AUCs were statistically different (p value = 0.038). In the test group, the AUCs, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 0.840, 73.3%, 90.1%, and 80.8% when the non-texture model was used and 0.896, 75.0%, 94.0%, and 88.5% when the combined model was used. Conclusion MRI-based texture features combined with clinical and conventional MRI features may assist in differentitating between BEOT and FIGO stage I/II MEOT patients.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of polymyxin B in the treatment of sepsis caused by extensively-drug resistant (XDR) Gram-negative bacteria.Methods:A retrospective analysis of 39 septic patients with XDR Gram-negative bacterial infection treated with polymyxin B in the department of critical care medicine of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from June 2018 to September 2019 were enrolled. The clinical characteristics, bacterial culture, the sensitivity antibacterial drugs, types and courses of antibiotics, biochemical indexes, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) before and after polymyxin B treatment were collected, to assess microbial clearance and efficacy, drug related adverse effects, and 28-day mortality in septic patients with XDR.Results:Of the 39 septic patients with XDR, 32 (82.1%) were male, with the mean age of (53.6±12.6) years old. The main infection site was pulmonary infection (51.2%), and the treatment courses of polymyxin B were ≥ 5 days. A total of 66 pathogenic bacteria were detected from 39 patients. Among them, with the high estrate of detecting Acinetobacter baumannii of 51.5% (34/66). After treatment with polymyxin B, the results showed that the clearance rate of microorganisms was 65.2% (43/66), the overall effective rate was 59.0% (23/39), and the 28-day all-cause mortality was 41.0% (16/39). There were no significant differences in clinical efficacy and microbial clearance among patients with different treatment groups of polymyxin B [< 10 days, 10-15 days, and > 15 days groups: effective rates were 56.5% (13/23), 54.5% (6/11), 80.0% (4/5), χ2 = 0.999, P = 0.728; the microbial clearance rates were 43.5% (10/23), 54.5% (6/11), and 80.0% (4/5), χ2 = 2.141, P = 0.393]. The effective and microbial clearance rates of the polymyxin B daily doses of 150 mg and 200 mg groups were significantly higher than those of the daily dose of 100 mg [effectiveness: 85.7% (6/7), 87.5% (7/8) vs. 41.7% (10/24); microbial clearance rate: 71.4% (5/7), 87.5% (7/8) vs. 33.3% (8/24), all P < 0.05], however, there were no significant differences in the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mechanical ventilation time among different daily dose groups. The APACHEⅡscore after polymyxin B administration was significantly lower than before administration (all patients: 16.20±9.24 vs. 24.40±4.73, effective patients: 11.30±4.08 vs. 23.00±4.56, both P < 0.05). Four patients with renal injury had an increase in serum creatinine during the administration of polymyxin B, and recovered after discontinuation of the drug without other adverse reactions. Conclusion:Polymyxin B can be used as an effective treatment option for patients with severe infection of XDR Gram-negative bacteria.
