3.Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 preserves mitochondrial morphology and attenuates hypoxia/reoxygenation-induced cardiomyocyte injury
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2020;11(4):246-254
BACKGROUND: Disturbance of mitochondrial fission and fusion (termed mitochondrial dynamics) is one of the leading causes of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial injury. Previous studies showed that mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) conferred cardioprotective effect against myocardial I/R injury and suppressed I/R-induced excessive mitophagy in cardiomyocytes. However, whether ALDH2 participates in the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics during myocardial I/R injury remains unknown.
METHODS: In the present study, we investigated the effect of ALDH2 on mitochondrial dynamics and the underlying mechanisms using the H9c2 cells exposed to hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) as an in vitro model of myocardial I/R injury.
RESULTS: Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was significantly increased after oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/R), and ALDH2 activation largely decreased the cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Additionally, we found that both ALDH2 activation and overexpression significantly inhibited the increased mitochondrial fission after OGD/R. Furthermore, we found that ALDH2 dominantly suppressed dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) phosphorylation (Ser616) and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation (Thr172) but not interfered with the expression levels of mitochondrial shaping proteins.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate the protective effect of ALDH2 against cardiomyocyte H/R injury with a novel mechanism on mitochondrial fission/fusion.

Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(5):587-592
Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of basic immunization with different sequential immunization programs of oral live attenuated poliomyelitis vaccine(OPV)and inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine(IPV). Methods Infants above two months of age residing in Pudong New Area,Shanghai,were selected for the study,and the basic immunization program of OPV full course(O-O-O group),sequential IPV and OPV(I-I-O group),and IPV full course(I-I-I group)were administered at 2,3 and 4 months of age,respectively. Relevant adverse reactions were proactively monitored by the parents of the participants via completing their own self-observation form after immunization. Before and after immunization,blood samples were collected from the upper arm vein,and the serum was separated. The neutralizing antibody levels of poliovirus in serum were measured by micro neutralization test,and the antibody positive rate and geometric mean titer(GMT)were calculated. Logistic multivariate regression analysis was used to research the effects of group,gender,household registration,birth mass and positive rate of typeⅠ/Ⅲ antibody before immunizationon the positive rate of type Ⅰ/Ⅲ antibody after basic immunization. Results There were one case of lethargy and one case of crying in O-O-O group, one case of lethargy in I-I-O group,and one case of crying in I-I-I group. The GMTs of type I neutralizing antibody in the pre-immunization O-O-O group,I-I-O group,and I-I-I group were 41. 39,8. 21,and 12. 56,and those of type Ⅲ neutralizing antibody were 7. 57,4. 02 and 8. 08,respectively. There was no significant difference in GMT between groups for typeⅠandⅢneutralizing antibodies before immunization(F = 2. 815 and 0. 608,P = 0. 061 and 0. 545,respectively). The positive rates of type Ⅰ antibody before immunization were 24. 04%,34. 07% and 41. 00%,respectively,with significant difference between groups(χ~2= 13. 459,P = 0. 001). The positive rates of type Ⅲ antibody were 13. 94%,9. 89% and 18. 00%,respectively,with no significant difference(χ~2= 5. 188,P = 0. 075). After immunization,the GMTs of type Ⅰ neutralizing antibody were 1 311. 84,1 812. 59 and 833. 24,and those of type Ⅲ neutralizing antibody were 911. 97,1 752. 68 and 419. 50,respectively,with significant differences between groups(F = 76. 848 and 202. 632,respectively,each P < 0. 001). After immunization,the positive conversion rates of type Ⅰantibody were 98. 56%,100% and 100%,and those of type Ⅲ antibody were 99. 04%,100% and 99. 44%,respectively,with no significant difference between the two groups(χ~2= 2. 973 and 1. 045,P = 0. 122 and 0. 789,respectively). In addition,group,gender,household registration,birth mass and positive rate of typeⅠ/Ⅲantibody before immunization had no effect on the positive conversion rate of typeⅠ/Ⅲantibody after basic immunization. Conclusion All three sequential immunization programs achieved good safety and high antibody positive conversion rates after basic immunization.

7.Effects of dietary fiber complex on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with experimental ulcerative colitis
Chinese Journal of Digestion 2010;30(7):461-464
Objective To evaluate the effect of enteral nutrision (EN) containing dietary fiber complex (DFC) on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with experimental colitis. Methods Ninety six SD rats were induced into ulcerative colitis by acetic acid enema.than were divided into 3 groups. The rats in group C received non-DFC nutrison, while the rats in group Tl or group T2 received soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) of the EN with different proportion (1:2 or 1:3, respectively). At the first-, third-,fifth- and seventh-day after the EN, the concentration of D-lactate and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in plasma were detected and intestinal samples were obtained to observe the changes of intestinal mucosa. Results At the third-,fifth- and seventh-day,the D-lactate concentration and the DAO activity in plasma significantly reduced in group Tl and T2 when compared with group C (P<0. 05) , but there was no statistical difference between group Tl and group T2. The scores of histological damages of colon in the group Tl and group T2 decreased in comparison with group C at all time points (P < 0. 05). However, the scores of histological damages of colon significantly decreased in group T2 when compared with group Tl at day 5 and day 7 (P <0. 05). Conclusion EN containing DFC may reduce the intestinal permeability of colitis in rats, which has a protective effect on intestinal mucosal barrier. While different proportions of the SDF or IDF ratio result in different effects on the mucosal protection. This protective effect will be enhanced by increasing the ratio of IDF in a certain scale.

10.The importance of quality assurance in laboratory test for personalized medicine
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2012;(11):963-966
Modern medicine has entered the era of personalized medicine,the most mature of which is based on analysis of the specific gene polymorphism and tumor-related gene mutation and expression detection.Usually the test is related to the PCR technique such as real-time PCR,PCR-sequence,PCR-hybridization (on chip,membrane,latex particles),which leads to the gene amplification process.Now,some laboratories do or will to conduct such clinical tests.But most of them are non-classic clinical laboratories,which belong to the pathology,pharmacy or oncology department.There is a problem in front of us face that is how to standardize the clinical test on the key point of the test including design of the laboratory,collection and handling of the samples,quality control of testing procedure in the laboratory and report and results explanation for personalized testing and establish quality assurance system.
