Non-coding RNAs ( ncRNA ), including ribosomal RNA( rRNA), transfer RNA( tRNA), MicroRNA ( miRNA), long noncoding RNA(lncRNA) and small nucleolar RNA(snoR-NA), are a class of RNA that have multiple functions and are not translated to proteins. MicroRNA and lncRNA are involved in the injury, remodeling and aging of blood vessels, and it is necessary to understand the regulatory roles of MicroRNA and lncRNA in these processes. It is reported that MicroRNA and lncRNA are not only participated in the regulation of oxidative response, inflammation, cell proliferation and migration, and phenotype transition, they are also involved in the regulation of gene expression by conducting different mechanisms, including transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional modification and chromatin remodeling. These aspects of regulation by MicroRNA and lncRNA are related to cardiovascular diseases, such as ath-erosclerosis, hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, pul-monary hypertension and diabetes, and thus provide a new way for genetic diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases.

GLKs (GOLDEN 2-LIKEs) are a group of plant-specific transcription factors regulating the chloroplast biogenesis, differentiation and function maintains by triggering the expression of the photosynthesis-associated nuclear genes (PhANGs). The GLKs also play important roles in nutrient's accumulation in fruits, leaf senescence, immunity and abiotic stress response. The expression of GLK genes were affected by multiple hormones or environmental factors. Therefore, GLKs were considered as the key nodes of regulatory network in plant cells, and potential candidates to improve the photosynthetic capacity of crops. Since numerous researches of GLKs have been reported in plants, the biological function, molecular mechanism of GLKs genes and its applications in breeding were summarized and a GLK-mediated signaling network model was developed. This review may facilitate future research and application of GLKs.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the post-marketing safety of Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection in patients with ischemic stroke. METHODS A drug-induced, prospective, non-controlled clinical study design was conducted. Using the patients with ischemic stroke who received Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection at least once in 46 secondary class A and above medical institutions across the country from April 2020 to May 2021 as the monitoring objects, and their basic data, medication information and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions were analyzed. RESULTS Among 13 514 patients with ischemic stroke, the incidence of adverse events was 10.01%, and the incidence of adverse reactions related to Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection was 0.33%. Drug-related adverse drug reactions were mild or moderate, concentrated in the gastrointestinal system (18 cases), skin and subcutaneous tissue (10 cases), nervous system (7 cases) and other systems/organs, mainly including constipation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, rash, pruritus, dizziness and other symptoms. Most of the patients (91.03%) recovered or improved after treatment, and 2 patients died. Among the 45 patients with adverse drug reactions, 84.44% were cured or improved after drug withdrawal or symptomatic treatment, and 15.56% had no significant change. The incidence of adverse drug reactions in tertiary hospitals was significantly higher than that in secondary hospitals, and the incidence of adverse drug reactions in patients with allergic history was significantly higher than that in patients without allergic history (P<0.05). Irrational drug use was found in 2.76% of patients, and the incidence of adverse drug reactions(2.95%) was significantly higher than that in patients without irrational drug use(0.26%,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The adverse drug reaction symptoms of ischemic stroke patients treated with Compound porcine cerebroside and ganglioside injection are relatively common, the incidence rate is generally low, and it is related to the patients’ physique and whether the drug use is standardized.

The gut microbiota plays an important role in regulating the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of many drugs. FLZ, a novel squamosamide derivative, has been shown to have neuroprotective effects on experimental Parkinson's disease (PD) models. FLZ is under phase Ⅰ clinical trial now, while the underlying mechanisms contributing to the absorption of FLZ are still not fully elucidated. Due to the main metabolite of FLZ was abundant in feces but rare in urine and bile of mice, we focused on the gut microbiota to address how FLZ was metabolized and absorbed.

YABBY proteins are important transcription factors that regulate morphogenesis and organ development in plants. In order to study the YABBY of strawberry, bioinformatic technique were used to identify the YABBY gene families in Fragaria vesca (diploid) and Fragaria×ananassa (octoploid), and then analyze the sequence characters, phylogeny and collinearity of the family members. The RNA-seq data and the quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) technique were used to assay the expression patterns of the family members. A green fluorescent protein (GFP) was fused with FvYABBYs and transiently expressed in tobacco leaf cells for the subcellular localization. As the results, six FvYABBY genes and 26 FxaYABBY genes were identified from F. vesca and F.×ananassa, respectively. The FvYABBY genes were grouped into five clades, and five family members were orthologous with AtYABBY genes of Arabidopsis. In F. vesca, all of the FvYABBYs were basically not expressed not expressed in root and receptacle, while FvYABBY1, FvYABBY2, FvYABBY5 and FvYABBY6 were highly expressed in leaf, shoot, flower and achene. In F.×ananassa, FxaYABBY1, FxaYABBY2, FxaYABBY5 and FxaYABBY6 were expressed in achene, and all FxaYABBY were poorly or not expressed in receptacle. Additionally, under the abiotic stresses of low temperature, high salt and drought, the expression of FvYABBY1, FvYABBY3, FvYABBY4 and FvYABBY6 were down-regulated, FvYABBY5 was up-regulated, and FvYABBY2 was up-regulated and then down-regulated. In tobacco leaf cells, the subcellular localization of FvYABBY proteins were in the nucleus. These results provides a foundation for the functional researches of YABBY gene in strawberry.

The progression of hyperuricemia disease is often accompanied by damage to renal function. However, there are few studies on hyperuricemia nephropathy, especially its association with intestinal flora. This study combines metabolomics and gut microbiota diversity analysis to explore metabolic changes using a rat model as well as the changes in intestinal flora composition. The results showed that amino acid metabolism was disturbed with serine, glutamate and glutamine being downregulated whilst glycine, hydroxyproline and alanine being upregulated. The combined glycine, serine and glutamate could predict hyperuricemia nephropathy with an area under the curve of 1.00. Imbalanced intestinal flora was also observed. , , , , and other conditional pathogens increased significantly in the model group, while and , the short-chain fatty acid producing bacteria, declined greatly. At phylum, family and genus levels, disordered nitrogen circulation in gut microbiota was detected. In the model group, the uric acid decomposition pathway was enhanced with reinforced urea liver-intestine circulation. The results implied that the intestinal flora play a vital role in the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia nephropathy. Hence, modulation of gut microbiota or targeting at metabolic enzymes, , urease, could assist the treatment and prevention of this disease.
