This study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effect and possible mechanism of carboxyamidotriazole (CAI) on imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like mice model and M5 (IL-1α, IL-17A, IL-22, TNF-α and oncostatin M)-induced keratinocytes model of psoriasis. The severity of psoriasis-like skin lesion in mice was evaluated by psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) score. The histopathological changes of skin were examined by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Baker score was calculated. The levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in skin were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Transcriptome sequencing technique was used to analyze differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect mRNA expressions. The animal experiments conducted in this study were approved by the Institutional Animal Care Use & Welfare Committee of Institute of Basic Medical Sciences, Chinese Academy of Medical Science (grant No. ACUC-A02-2022-115). The results showed that CAI significantly improved the severity of psoriasis-like lesion, reduced PASI score, attenuated pathological changes, decreased Baker score and inhibited the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, IL-23 and TNF-α in skin of IMQ-induced mice. Transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed that regulating keratinocytes and their mediated keratinization might be involved in the mechanism of CAI. Further qPCR study validated that CAI down-regulated the mRNA expression of DEG S100a7. Moreover, the keratinocyte model of psoriasis was established by stimulating HaCaT cells by M5. It was shown that CAI decreased the mRNA expression levels of S100a7, Il1β, Il6, Il17, Il23 and Ccl20, which were up-regulated by M5 stimulation. In conclusion, CAI might have a good therapeutic efficacy on psoriasis, and its mechanism was related to regulate the function of keratinocytes and downregulate cytokines and S100a7.

Colloidal lanthanum as a marker exists in extracellular space and does not crossthe intact plasma membrane in normal condition.Consequently,it may be used todemonstrate the change of plasma membrane permeability at cellular level.Theabdominal aorta was constricted in 33 rats for 10 days,so as to establish a modelof myocardial hypertrophy.The outer and inner layers of left ventricle wall of theheart were removed and fixed immediately in 2% glutaraldehyde and 0.1 M cacody-late buffer(pH 7.4)containing 1% La(NO_3)_3 for 3 hours.In normal control tissuethe lanthanum tracer was confined to the extracellular space,basement membraneand intercalated disc.In inner layer of left ventricular wall of the experimental group,the lanthanum was deposited on the outer membrane of the mitochondria.In somemyocytes of the outer layer of left ventricular wall,their structure appearedmorphologically normal,but intracellular lanthanum appeared.Thus lanthanum canbe used as a sensitive indicator of membrane permeability in early stage of themyocardial hypertrophy.

[Summary] The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocyte of the patient with thyroid hormone resistance syndrome and 14 members of his family.The exons 1-10 of thyroid hormone receptor β (TRβ) gene were amplified by PCR.The products of PCR were sequenced directly to detect the gene mutation.The results showed that 3 members of this family were confirmed to have the C→T transition mutation at nucleotide 1 303 site within exon 10 of TRβ gene,and the missense mutation results in the substitution of histidine to tyrosine (H435Y).The heterozygous mutation may lead to the occurrence of thyroid hormone resistance syndrome.

Objective To determine the expression and the correlation of CD105 and VEGF in angiogenesis of colorectal cancer(CRC). Method Expression of CD105 and VEGF in 48 specimens of CRC tissues and 48 specimens of colorectal tissues far from the cancer (CRTFC) were investigated by immunohistochemical staining.

AIM: To investigate whether the expression of integrin ?_3 and the activation of focal adhesion kinase(FAK) are involved in neointima formation after de-endothelium.METHODS: The model of intima hyperplasia was prepared by balloon injury.The levels of osteopontin(OPN),integrin ?_3 and FAK in vascular tissue were detected by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.RESULTS: There were similar expression patterns in OPN,integrin ?_3 and FAK following balloon injury.The levels of three proteins were markedly increased 3 days after operation and reached the peak at 7th day.The increased FAK was mainly the phosphorylated form.The migration and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells was associated with the increase in the expression of integrin ?_3 and FAK,and was parallel with rapid turnover of extracellular matrix(ECM).CONCLUSION: The interaction of cells with ECM mediated by OPN and integrin ?_3 is essential for migration.The integrin ?_3-FAK pathway is involved in neointima formation.

Abstract: Objective　In order to provide reference for emergency treatment of a sudden food poisoning incident, pathogen detection and drug resistance analysis were carried out. Methods　Diarrheal stool and surplus food samples were detected by GB 4789 and the isolates were identified by VITEK2 and matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), at the same time, the bacterial drug sensitivity test was carried out by using the method of microbroth dilution, and the isolates from different sources were molecularly classified by pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and the correlation between the strains was analyzed by BioNumerics software. Results　Totaly 13 leftovers and 3 diarrhea patients were isolated and identified, The total number of colonies and coliforms in 7 leftovers samples all exceeded the standard, and Citrobacter freundii was detected in 5 leftovers and 2 stools. The results of drug sensitivity test showed that seven strains of Citrobacter freundii were sensitive to ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, gentamicin, amikacin, cefotaxime and meropenem, but completely resistant to ampicillin, and there was no multiple drug resistance. The results of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) showed that 7 strains of Citrobacter freundii had the same PFGE bands and 100% homology, showing the same clone. Conclusions　This food poisoning incident was caused by Citrobacter freundii. The pathogen of food poisoning can be quickly and accurately determined by MALDI-TOF MS, which is beneficial to the early diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. It is suggested to strengthen the corresponding management, improve food safety awareness and prevent similar incidents.
