Objective To evaluate the practicability of using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing tech-nology for inhibition of hepatitis B virus ( HBV) replication. Methods Two sgRNA targeting sites were de-signed for the S region of HBV genome. The CRISPR/Cas9 expression plasmids specific for HBV were con-structed and then transfected into a cell line expressing HBV genome(HepG2-N10). The cytotoxicity of cells transfected with different expression plasmids were detected by MTT assay. The levels of hepatitis B surface antigen ( HBsAg ) were determined by using chemiluminescent immunoassay ( CLIA ) . The expression of HBV at mRNA level was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR ( qRT-PCR) . The qPCR was performed for the detection of extracellular and intracellular HBV DNA. The next-generation sequencing ( NGS) Illumina MiSeq Platform was used to analyze HBV genome editing. Results No significant cytotoxic effects were de-tected in HepG2-N10 cells transfected with different expression plasmids. Compared with the cells carrying pCas-Guide-GFP-Scramble, the levels of HBsAg in the supernatants of transfected cell culture harboring pCas-Guide-GFP-G1 and pCas-Guide-GFP-G2 were decreased by 24. 2% (P<0. 05) and 16. 9% (P>0. 05), respectively. The levels of HBsAg in cells transfected with pCas-Guide-GFP-G1 and pCas-Guide-GFP-G2 were respectively decreased by 16. 4% (P>0. 05) and 32. 1% (P>0. 05) as compared with that of pCas-Guide-GFP-Scramble transfected group. The expression of HBV at mRNA level was inhibited as indica-ted by the results of qRT-PCR. Moreover, the levels of extracellular HBV DNA were respectively suppressed by 23% (P>0. 05) and 35% (P<0. 05), and the levels of intracellular HBV DNA were respectively sup-pressed by 7. 2% (P>0. 05) and 18% (P>0. 05). Different types of insertion/deletion mutation were de-tected in HBV genome by high-throughput sequencing. Conclusion HBV-specific CRISPR/Cas9 system could inhibit the expression of HBV gene and the replication of virus. Therefore, the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technology might be used as a potential tool for the treatment of persistent HBV infection.

Objective To study the effect of menopause status and the time of taking tamoxifen (TAM) on endometrial lesions after breast cancer surgery. Methods A total of 330 patients with postoperative vaginal irregular bleeding after breast cancer surgery or endometrial lesions after B ultrasonic from August 2007 to August 2017 in Northern Jiangsu People 's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 180 cases of taking TAM treatment (medicine-taking group), and 150 cases of not taking TAM treatment (non medicine-taking group). The patients were also divided into the menopause group and the premenopausal group. According to the time of taking TAM, the patients were divided into < 2 years group, 2-5 years group and > 5 years group. Chi-square and Fisher test were used to compare the differences. Results The endometrial lesions incidence in the medicine-taking group was higher than that in the non medicine-taking group [84.44 % (152/180) vs. 56.00%(84/150);χ2=51.701, P=0.000]. The endometrial lesions rate in the menopause group was higher than that in the premenopause group [medicine-taking group: 69.70 % (46/66) vs. 92.98 % (106/114), χ2= 17.254, P= 0.000; non medicine-taking group: 46.15 % (35/65) vs. 63.53 %(54/85), χ2 = 4.513, P= 0.034]. For the patients in the menopause group and the premenopause group, the incidence of endometrial lesions for those who took medicine for>5 years [96.00%(48/50), 85.19%(23/27)] was higher than that in the<2 years group and 2-5 years group [78.26%(18/23), 42.86%(6/14);95.12%(39/41), 72.00%(18/25) respectively], and there were statistical differences (χ2=7.619, P=0.022;χ2= 8.070, P= 0.018). The menopause was not correlated with staging, muscular lawyer infiltration and lymph metastasis postoperative (P> 0.05), but with the type of endometrial cancer (P= 0.013); the length of taking medicine was related with the type of endometrial cancer and the lymph metastasis (P=0.027). With the prolonged time of medicine-taking for postmenopause patients, the incidence of type Ⅱendometrial cancer and positive rate of lymph metastasis were also increased. Conclusions Taking TAM after surgery for breast cancer patients increases the risk of endometrial lesions. The longer the patients take the medicine, the greater risk of the lesions take, and the worse the pathological, histological type and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma are, which is more obvious for postmenopausal women who take TAM for more than 5 years.

Multiple plant lineages have independently evolved sex chromosomes and variable kary-otypes to maintain their sessile lifestyles through constant biological innovation.Morus notabilis,a dioecious mulberry species,has the fewest chromosomes among Morus spp.,but the genetic basis of sex determination and karyotype evolution in this species has not been identified.In this study,three high-quality genome assemblies were generated for Morus spp.[including dioecious M.notabilis(male and female)and Morus yunnanensis(female)]with genome sizes of 301-329 Mb and were grouped into six pseudochromosomes.Using a combination of genomic approaches,we found that the putative ancestral karyotype of Morus species was close to 14 protochromosomes,and that sev-eral chromosome fusion events resulted in descending dysploidy(2n=2x=12).We also charac-terized a~6.2-Mb sex-determining region on chromosome 3.Four potential male-specific genes,a partially duplicated DNA helicase gene(named MSDH)and three Ty3_Gypsy long terminal repeat retrotransposons(named MSTG1/2/3),were identified in the Y-linked area and considered to be strong candidate genes for sex determination or differentiation.Population genomic analysis showed that Guangdong accessions in China were genetically similar to Japanese accessions of mul-berry.In addition,genomic areas containing selective sweeps that distinguish domesticated mul-berry from wild populations in terms of flowering and disease resistance were identified.Our study provides an important genetic resource for sex identification research and molecular breeding in mulberry.

【Objective】 To make bioinformatics analysis of inflammatory cardiomyopathy so as to screen out hub genes related to etiology and therapeutic targets. 【Methods】 Differential expression analysis of inflammatory cardiomyopathy gene chip data from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) Database was carried out via GEO2R tool. Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network and hub genes identification were realized by String database and CytoHubba. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis for functional annotation and pathway analysis of hub genes were conducted by R language. Web-based enrichment analysis platform Enrichr and Drug Signatures database were applied to screen out candidate drugs targeting hub genes for inflammatory cardiomyopathy. 【Results】 The 149 DEGs were statistically significant, among which 44 were upregulated and 105 were downregulated. To identify hub genes, PPI network consisting of 37 nodes and 116 edges was constructed, and 16 hub genes were NDUFB7, POLR2L, NDUFS7, UQCR11, NDUFA13, NDUFA2, PHPT1, NDUFB10, UBA52, ATP5D, NDUFA3, COX6B1, POLR2J, COX4I2, AURKAIP1 and MRPL41. Hub genes were enriched to 113 different GO terms, and the most significant terms were mitochondrial ATP synthesis coupled electron transport, respiratory electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, respiratory chain, mitochondrial inner membrane, NADH dehydrogenase activity and oxidoreductase activity. DEGs were enriched to 13 different signal pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac muscle contraction. We screened out candidate drugs targeting hub genes, namely, metformin hydrochloride, clindamycin, and hydralazine. 【Conclusion】 Hub genes screened out by decoding the expression profiles are convolved in the etiology and mechanism of inflammatory cardiomyopathy, which might serve as latent therapeutic targets and benefit patients with inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
