Objective:To explore the components and time characteristics of attentional bias in type 2 diabetic patients with different levels of self-management.Methods:The patients were first divided into higher,medium and lower self-management levels based on the Summary of Diabetes Self-care Activities Questionnaire (SDSCA),63 subjects in each group.A probe detection task was used to examine the impact of the different emotional pictures and stimulus presenting time on attentional bias.Results:When the stimuli were displayed for 500 ms,patients with higher self-management levels showed shorter reaction time to positive pictures than to negative pictures [(597.8 ± 185.5) ms vs.(626.0 ± 186.6) ms,P < 0.01],and their scores of negative attentional bias [(-22.5 ± 79.0) ms,P <0.05] and negative orienting index were lower than 0[(-26.6 ±74.5) ms,P <0.01].The scores of negative disengaging index were significant higher than 0 in patients with medium self-management levels [(17.2 ± 60.3) ms,P <0.05],the scores of positive disengaging index were significant lower than 0 in patients with lower selfmanagement levels [(-22.6 ±74.8) ms,P <0.05]].When the stimuli were displayed for 1250 ms,the scores of positive orienting index were higher than 0 in patients with medium self-management levels [(14.9 ± 54.4) ms,P < 0.05].Conclusion:It suggests that there are different characteristics of implicit cognitive processing in patients with different levels of self-management.

Plants are known to be efficient hosts for the production of mammalian therapeutic proteins. However, plants produce complex N-glycans bearing β1,2-xylose and core α1,3-fucose residues, which are absent in mammals. The immunogenicity and allergenicity of plant-specific Nglycans is a key concern in mammalian therapy. In this study, we amplified the sequences of 2 plant-specific glycosyltransferases from Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bright Yellow 2 (BY2), which is a well-established cell line widely used for the expression of therapeutic proteins. The expression of the endogenous xylosyltranferase (XylT) and fucosyltransferase (FucT) was downregulated by using RNA interference (RNAi) strategy. The xylosylated and core fucosylated N-glycans were significantly, but not completely, reduced in the glycoengineered lines. However, these RNAi-treated cell lines were stable and viable and did not exhibit any obvious phenotype. Therefore, this study may provide an effective and promising strategy to produce recombinant glycoproteins in BY2 cells with humanized N-glycoforms to avoid potential immunogenicity.
