Objective:
To investigate the effect of exposure to particulate matter ≤10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10) on sperm quality in different stages of sperm development.
Methods:
This cross-sectional study included 1 827 patients attending the reproductive medicine center in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University during April 2013 to January 2015. Air pollution data from January 2013 to January 2015 was obtained from the database of Wuhan Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau. The generalized linear model was employed to assess the association between each exposure variables and sperm parameters for several exposure windows (0-9, 10-14, 15-69, 70-90, 0-90 days before sampling) .
Results:
The average levels of PM10 was (116.2±71.6) μg/m3 during the research period. Sperm volume was (75.4±49.1) ×106/ml in sample population, (29.4±16.2) % in progressive motility and (51.8±21.6) % in total motility. Exposure to PM10 was inversely associated with sperm concentration (β:-0.319; 95%

Objective To observe value of 0D-1D coupling model and 3D fluid-structure interaction(FSI)model based on coronary CT angiography(CCTA)for displaying hemodynamic characteristics of coronary artery stenosis.Methods Based on CCTA data of the stenosed left anterior descending branch(LAD)in a patient with coronary heart disease,an 0D-1D coupling model and 3D FSI model were built,respectively.Then hemodynamic characteristic indexes,including the pressure,flow velocity and wall shear stress(WSS)were obtained in every 0.01 s during 1 s at 5 sampling points(i.e.sampling point 1-5)using these 2 models,respectively,and the consistencies of the results between models were evaluated with Spearman correlation coefficient rs.Results The time consuming for construction of 0D-1D coupling model and 3D FSI model was 0.033 min and 704 min,respectively.Both models showed basically distribution of the pressure,flow velocity and WSS of the stenosed LAD.For more details,the pressure at the stenosed segment of LAD and the proximal segment of stenosis were both higher,which gradually decreased at the distal segment of stenosis,and the flow velocity at the proximal segment of stenosis was in a relatively slow and uniform condition,with significantly increased flow velocity and WSS at the stenosed segment.Compared with 3D FSI model,0D-1D vascular coupling model was relatively unrefined and lack of distal flow lines when displaying blood flow velocity.For sampling point 2 at the stenosed segment of LAD,no significant consistency for pressure between 2 models was found(P=0.118),but strong consistency for the flow velocity and WSS(rs=0.730,0.807,both P<0.05).The consistencies of pressure,flow velocity and WSS between 2 models at the proximal and distal segment of stenosis,i.e.1,3-5 sampling points were week to moderate(rs=0.237-0.669,all P<0.05).Conclusion 0D-1D coupling model exhibited outstanding computational efficiency and might provide relatively reasonable results,while 3D FSI model showed higher accuracy for details and streamline when simulating LAD stenosis.

Objective:
To evaluate the effects of exposure to ozone (O3) on sperm quality during different stages of spermatogenesis.
Methods:
All 1 780 subjects attending to the Reproductive Medicine Center in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University were recruited from April, 4, 2013 to June, 30, 2015. The subjects were living in Wuhan more than 3 months before attending to the program, aged 20 to 40 years. Semen quality (sperm concentration and sperm count) were measured according to standardized protocols. Corresponding daily 8 hours average concentration of O3, other polluted concentration, average temperature and relative humidity were collected in different time, including lag 0, 10, 70 and 90 d, and lag 0-9 d, lag 10-14 d, lag 70-90 d and lag 0-90 d. After controlling the age, BMI, education level and other confounders, generalized linear Model was used to investigate the association between O3 and sperm quality during different stages of spermatogenesis.
Results:
Average daily concentration of O3 during the study period was (114.20±74.88) μg/m3 and the mean values of sperm concentration and count were (76.32±50.17) millions/ml and (164.77 ± 133.05) millions/sample, respectively. Exposure to O3 was associated with decreasing sperm concentration and count. For every 1 μg/m3 increase of O3, the decrease of sperm concentration during lag 10, lag 0-9 and lag 10-14 days exposure windows were 0.040 (95% 50 and ≥

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the characteristics of genetic variants in 134 patients diagnosed with Acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
METHODS:
Clinical data of the 134 patients with AML (non-acute promyelocytic leukemia) initially diagnosed at the 940th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army from June 2017 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Potential variants of AML-related genes were detected by next-generation sequencing, and the frequency of variants was analyzed by using SPSS v26.0 software, and likelihood ratio χ2 test and Fisher exact test were used for data analysis.
RESULTS:
The patients had included 72 males and 62 females, with a gender ratio of 1.7 : 1 and a median age of 51 years (9 ~ 86 years old). One hundred twenty patients (76.1%) had harbored at least one genetic variant, including 26 (19.4%) having a single variant, 27 (20.1%) having two variants, and 49 (36.6%) having >= 3 variants. 32 (23.9%) had no detectable variants. Genetic variants detected in over 10% of the 134 patients had included NPM1 (n = 24, 17.91%), FLT3-ITD (n = 21, 15.67%), DNMT3A (n = 20, 14.93%), CEBPA (single variant; n = 14, 10.45%), TET2 (n = 14, 10.45%), and NRAS (n = 14, 10.45%). The patients were also divided into low risk, intermediate risk and high risk groups based on their chromosomal karyotypes. The mutational rates for genes in different groups have varied, with 19 patients from the low risk group harboring variants of NRAS (n = 4, 21.05%), KRAS (n = 4, 21.05%), and KIT (n = 2, 10.53%); and 96 patients from the intermediate risk group harboring variants of NPM1 (n = 24, 25.00%), FLT3-ITD (n = 20, 20.83%), DNMT3A (n = 18, 18.75%), CEBPA (n = 12, 12.50%), and TET2 genes (n = 12, 12.50%). The mutational frequencies for the 19 patients from the high risk group were ASXL1 (n = 7, 21.05%), NRAS (n = 3, 15.97%), TP53 (n = 3, 15.79%), and EZH2 (n = 2, 10.53%). A significant difference was found in the frequencies of KIT, NPM1, FLT3-ITD, DNMT3A, and ASXL1 gene variants among the low-risk, medium-risk, and high-risk groups.
CONCLUSION
AML patients have a high frequency for genetic variants, with 76.1% harboring at least one variant. The frequency of genetic variants have varied among patients with different chromosomal karyotypes, and there are apparent dominant variants. KIT, NPM1, FLT3-ITD, DNMT3A, and ASXL1 may be used as prognostic factors for evaluating their prognosis.

Genome-wide physical protein-protein interaction(PPI)mapping remains a major chal-lenge for current technologies.Here,we reported a high-efficiency BiFC-seq method,yeast-enhanced green fluorescent protein-based bimolecular fluorescence complementation(yEGFP-BiFC)coupled with next-generation DNA sequencing,for interactome mapping.We first applied yEGFP-BiFC method to systematically investigate an intraviral network of the Ebola virus.Two-thirds(9/14)of known interactions of EBOV were recaptured,and five novel interactions were discovered.Next,we used the BiFC-seq method to map the interactome of the tumor protein p53.We identified 97 interactors of p53,more than three-quarters of which were novel.Furthermore,in a more complex background,we screened potential interactors by pooling two BiFC libraries together and revealed a network of 229 interactions among 205 proteins.These results show that BiFC-seq is a highly sensitive,rapid,and economical method for genome-wide interactome map-ping.

[Abstract] Objective: To develop a new type of CD7 chimeric antigen receptor modified T cell (CD7-CAR-T) for the treatment of CD7 positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and to observe its killing effect on CD7 positive AML cells. Methods: The CD7-CAR lentiviral vector was constructed based on the CD7 Nanobody sequence and costimulatory domain sequence of CD28 and 4-1BB. The lentiviral particles were packaged and used to co-transfect human T cells with protein expression blocker (PEBL), so as to prepare CD7-
CAR-T cells. Real time cellular analysis (RTCA) was used to monitor the cytotoxicity of CD7-CAR-T cells on CD7 overexpressed 293T cells. Flow cytometry assay was used to detect the effect of CD7-CAR-T cells on proliferation and cytokine secretion of AML cells with high, medium and low CD7 expressions (KG-1, HEL and Kasumi-1 cells, respectively). Results: CD7-CAR-T cell was successfully constructed and its surface expression of CD7 was successfully blocked. Compared with T cells, CD7-CAR-T cells could significantly inhibit the proliferation of CD7-293T cells and promote the release of TNF, Granzyme B and INF-γ; in addition, CD7-CAR-T cells also significantly promoted the apoptosis (t=147.1, P<0.01; t=23.57, P<0.01) and cytokine release (P<0.05 or P<0.01) in CD7 positive KG-1 and HEL cells, but had little effect on Kasumi-1 cells that only expressed minimal CD7 antigen (t=0.7058, P>0.05). Conclusion: CD7-CAR-T cells can specifically kill CD7-positive AML cells in vitro.
