A CdTe/ZnSe quantum-dot submicrobead ( QBs ) , which exhibited fluorescence intensity approximately 2800-fold stronger than that of single quantum dots, was conjugated with the anti-histidine rich protein( HRP )-Ⅱ mAbs using N-( 3-( Dimethylamino ) propyl )-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride ( EDC ) method as fluorescence probe. The goat anti-HRP-Ⅱ polyclonal antibodies and donkey anti-mouse polyclonal antibodies were sprayed onto the nitrocellulose membrane as test line and control line, respectively. The resultant fluorescence probes were introduced to the immunochromatographic strip for the quantitative determination of Plasmodium falciparum. For determination of Plasmodium falciparum in serum, the QBs based immunochromatographic strips exhibited a good dynamic linear range from 5 . 8 Parasite/μL to 8010 Parasite/μL with a limit of detection of 5. 8 Parasite/μL. The detection time of the proposed QBs based immunochromatographic strips for each sample was only 15 min. Moreover, the recovery rates of the intra-and inter-assay ranged from 93. 0% to 111. 9%, and 98. 3% to 115. 1% respectively, while the relative standard deviations ( RSDs) of intra-and inter-assay were below 5%.

Objective To investigate the role of pancreatic β cell on pancreatic regeneration following experimental acute pancreatitis.Methods Eighty-seven SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups:control group ( n =15 ),STZ group ( n =24),L-Arg group ( n =24 ),STZ + Arg group ( n =24).60 mg/kg of STZ was administrated by intraperitoneal injection to induce the diabetes model.2.5 g/kg body weight of LArg was administrated by intraperitoneal injection to induce the acute pancreatitis model.The rats were sacrificed 1,3,5,7 d later and the serum levels of amylase and glucose were measured.Relative pancreatic weight (pancreatic weight/body weight) were measured.Pancreatic tissue underwent routine pathologic examination,and the percentage of area of necrosis and tissue transformation was calculated.The expression of Reg4 and insulin was performed by immunofluorescence.Results Serum level of glucose significantly increased after STZ injection.After L-Arg injection,serum level of amylase significantly increased,and there was pancreatic tissue edema,necrosis,infiltration of inflammatory cells,which suggested the successful model induction.The percentage of area of necrosis in STZ + L-Arg group was (71.6 ± 6.0) % at the 3rd day,which were significantly higher than (42.3 ± 4.0 ) % in L-Arg group; the percentage of area of transformation was (45.6 ± 5.4) %,which were significantly lower than (78.5 ± 6.4) % in L-Arg group.Expression of Reg4 in pancreatic islets of STZ + L-Arg group was significantly lower than those in L-Arg group.Conclusions STZ impairs pancreatic β cells,aggravates pancreatic damage following L-arginine induced pancreatitis and inhibits pancreatic regeneration.

Introduced in 2009, whole-exome sequencing (WES) is a technology in which target capture methods are used to enrich sequences of coding regions of genes from fragmented total genomic DNA, which is followed by high-throughput sequencing of the captured fragments. As reported, WES has been successfully applied for discovering genes underlying several Mendelian diseases, especially autosomal recessive types. In this review, authors have summarized the main computational strategies which have been applied to identify novel autosomal recessive diseases genes using whole-exome data.

Objective To investigate the value of endoscopy combined with laparoscopy in the treatment of colorectal polyps and polyp canceration.Methods Different combinations of endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures were employed and the clinical efficacies were compared.Results From January 2004 to September 2006,46 cases with colorectal polyp were treated with endoscopy combined with laparoscopy.Among them,5 cases(10.87%)underwent laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic polypectomy,30(65.22%)endoscopic-assisted laparoscopic resection,6(13.04%)synchronously endoscopic and laparoscopic resection.Five cases were performed further operation after endoscopic polypectomy.According to the pathological findings,21(45.7%)were proved to be polyp canceration,among which 6 were advanced carcinoma,and 3 were found metastasis to the lymph nodes.Among the 41 cases of laparoscopic resection,there was no conversion to an open surgery.Anastomotic leakage was found in 2 cases and anastomotic bleeding in 1.In the 5 cases of laparoscopic-assisted endoscopic polypectomy,no complication was observed.During the period of follow-up(1 to 21 months),no recurrence was detected.Conclusion Endoscopy combined with laparoscopy extends the safety and indications of endoscopic polypectomy,and is minimally invasive to the patients.It is an ideal procedure in the treatment of colorectal polyps and poly carceration.

From December 2019, Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia (formerly known as the 2019 novel Coronavirus [2019-nCoV]) broke out in Wuhan, China. In this study, we present serial CT findings in a 40-year-old female patient with COVID-19 pneumonia who presented with the symptoms of fever, chest tightness, and fatigue. She was diagnosed with COVID-19 infection confirmed by real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. CT showed rapidly progressing peripheral consolidations and ground-glass opacities in both lungs. After treatment, the lesions were shown to be almost absorbed leaving the fibrous lesions.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the effects of Baisong tablets (BST) on synapse protein synatotagmin (SYT) and synaptophysin (SYN) of hippocampus in chronic stress depression in rats.
METHODS:
Twenty eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated to 4 groups: a normal control group,a model group,a fluoxetine (FXT) group and a BST group. The normal control rats were fed in a natural environment. Rats of the model, FXT and BST groups were singly housed and given an chronic unpredicted sequence of mild stressors. The distribution and expression differences of SYT and SYN in the hippocampus of rats in different groups were investigated with in situ hybridization and immunoblotting.
RESULTS:
Expressions of SYT and SYN in the hippocampus of model rats were significantly reduced, compared with that of the normal control (P<0.05); and the expressions of SYT and SYN were significantly increased in the hippocampus of the FXT and BST groups, compared with that of the model group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The expressions of SYT and SYN protein and their mRNA decrease in the hippocampus of stress-model rats. BST can up-regulate their expression.
