To develop a specific, rapid and convenient method based on molecular motor biosensor to detect food-borne rotavirus. A specific probe was encompassed the conservative region of rotavirus's VP7 segment, and a molecular motor detect device was constructed by connecting probes to F0F1-ATPase molecular motor through biotin-streptavidin system. This biosensor's sensitivity was 0.005 ng/mL for rotavirus RNA. Extracted virus RNA was conjugated with the biosensor separately, at the same time ATP was synthesized. By comparing fluorescence intensity, we can detect rotavirus RNA in samples. This method possessed specificity for rotavirus, without any cross-reaction with Hepatitis A virus and noroviris, and it could be accomplished within 1 h. We detected 15 samples using this method and the results were compared with RT-PCR results. This method is sensitive and specific for rotavirus, and it can be used to detect food-borne rotavirus.

Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) is a imaging manifestation of cerebral small vessel disease. At present, more and more opinions believe that vascular endothelial injury plays an important role in the pathogenesis of CMBs. The destruction of the blood-brain barrier and inflammatory response caused by vascular endothelial dysfunction may promote the occurrence and development of CMBs. At the same time, the deposition of hemosiderin around the lesion of CMBs may also trigger an inflammatory response. However, the relevant mechanisms and causality have not yet been fully elucidated. This article reviews the vascular endothelial inflammatory factors related to CMBs and their mechanism in the pathogenesis of CMBs.

The methodological framework for interventional clinical research of Chinese medicine (CM) under the research mode of syndrome dominating disease provides a set of technical principles and methods to design, evaluate, and implement of this kind. It consists of three main parts including general principles, research points and key design elements, with a total of 25 items. This methodological framework proposes implementing requirements and recommendations in a variety of aspects, including basic norms to be followed in relevant studies, perspectives for selecting research topics, as well as the technological details on study population (P), intervention (I) and comparison(C), outcome measurement (O), time frame (T) of treatment and follow-up, sample orientation (prospective versus retrospective), study design (S) format and type. To provide practical guidance for future studies, this article clearly explains each items of the methodological framework through some supportive cases.
