BACKGROUND: The nano-hydroxyapatite/bacterial cellulose (nHAP/BC) nanocomposites has a good prospect of application in bone tissue engineering, and the bone tissue engineered materials and its degradation products Should have excellent compatibility. This study further assessed DAN synthesis cycle using flow cytometry on the basis of evaluating cell compatibility by metabolic 3-(4, 5-dim ethylthiazo 1-2-y 1) -2, 5-Dipheny 1-2H-tetrazolium (MTT) assay. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytocompatibility of a new-pattern nHAP/BC nanocomposites and its residues. METHODS: Effects of nHAP/BC nanocomposites and its residues on morphclogicel changes in osteoblasts were observed using in vitro cell culture method. Effects of nHAP/BC nanocomposites and its residues on osteoblast growth and prclifera'don were evaluated by MTT assay. Cell cycle phase changes were detected using flow cytometry to evaluate matsdal effects on cell proliferation on molecular levels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The nHAP/BC nanocomposites and its residues had neither remarkable effects on cell morphology, nor significant inhibition on osteoblast growth and proliferation. Test of MTT cytotoxicity showed that the average cell proliferation rate was over 80% after treated with the material and its residues, with the cytotoxity grade of 1 (non-toxic). Flow cytometry indicated that the rate of G_0/G_1 was reduced, and the rates of S, G2/M were increased, and the synthesis of DNA was increased, the cellular growth and repair in osteoblasts was accelerated. These indicated that nHAP/BC nanocomposites have good cytocompatibility, and it will be safe and prospected scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

Objective To analyze the characteristic of Yunnan unexpected sudden death (YUSD) cases by pathological diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC),in order to offer clue for ARVC etiologic research of YUSD.Methods The pathological diagnosis results of 9 cases of sudden death of ARVC in Yunnan,as well as epidemiological investigation data,were used to comprehensively analyze the pathological features of the pathological diagnosis of ARVC in Yunnan.Results The 9 cases including 8 females and 1 male,aged 16-47 years.The sudden death time was from June to August,mainly distributed in 8 families from the disease seriously ridden 7 villages.Three of them had a genetic history of family YUSD,2 cases had a history of mental stimulation,1 case had eaten Trogia venenata;and acute symptoms and signs were palpitation,chest tightness,shortness of breath,and loss of consciousness.Pathological observations were the typical ARVC change,mainly right ventricular lesions,with different degrees of cardiac enlargement and extensive adipose tissue infiltration in the ventricular wall.Among them,6 cases of fat infiltration almost reached the full thickness of the heart wall.In addition to the pathological changes of ARVC,8 cases were accompanied by one or several pathological changes in myocarditis,cardiac dysplasia,nephropathy,pulmonary edema,pneumonia and pancreatitis.Of the 9 cases,5 cases were diagnosed with ARVC,2 cases with ARVC and pulmonary edema,1 case with ARVC and acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis,and 1 case with ARVC and Trogia venenata poisoning.The clinical examination abnormalities of the family members of the cases mainly showed arrhythmogenic electrocardiography changes and abnormal myocardial enzymes.Conclusions The nine cases have showed typical epidemiology characteristics of YUSD,and cardiachistological changes are consistent with the ARVC pathological diagnostic criteria.A part of YUSD cases may be caused by ARVC,and the inference will be proved by cadaveric pathologic examination and related pathogenic gene detection.

Shiga toxin (Stx), which can be divided into Shiga toxin 1 (Stx1) and Shiga toxin 2 (Stx2), is an important virulence factor of Shigella spp. and certain strains of Escherichia coli. Stx, enco-ded by λ-like phage, blocks protein synthesis through removal of an adenine residue from the 28S rRNA. Stx can also induce apoptosis through multiple pathways. Humans may suffer from diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis ( HC) and hemolytic uremic syndrome ( HUS) and even death when infected with Shiga toxin-producing bac-teria. At present, there is no specific treatment for diseases caused by Stx. In recent years, the application of Stx in cancer therapy and imaging has aroused great interest. This review provided a brief overview of Stx in its nomenclature, typing, structure, genetics, pathogenesis and application perspectives.

Objective:To understand the electrocardiogram and echocardiography examination results of population in key areas of unexplained sudden death in Yunnan Province (referred to as Yunnan sudden death).Methods:From 2014 to 2022, electrocardiogram examination was performed on population (including same incident cases, relatives of the cases, villagers of the affected villages, and control individuals) in key areas of Yunnan sudden death from May to October each year. Echocardiography examination was performed on relatives of the cases and villagers of the affected villages, and the types of electrocardiogram and echocardiography changes were sorted out and analyzed.Results:Electrocardiogram examination was conducted on 1 same incident case, 241 relatives of the cases, 464 villagers of the affected villages, and 99 control individuals, respectively. The types of electrocardiogram changes in the same incident case were Q-T interval prolongation and sinus tachycardia. A total of 17 types of electrocardiogram changes were detected in the relatives of the cases, mainly including sinus arrhythmia (12.45%, 30/241), sinus bradycardia (11.20%, 27/241), and left axis deviation (8.30%, 20/241). A total of 21 types of electrocardiogram changes were detected in the villagers of the affected villages, mainly including left axis deviation (9.48%, 44/464), sinus bradycardia (8.19%, 38/464), and T-wave abnormalities (7.76%, 36/464). A total of 10 types of electrocardiogram changes were detected in the control individuals, mainly including sinus arrhythmia (12.12%, 12/99), T-wave abnormalities (9.09%, 9/99), and sinus bradycardia (7.07%, 7/99). Echocardiography examination was conducted on 49 relatives of the cases and 365 villagers of the affected villages, respectively. A total of 12 types of echocardiography changes were detected in the relatives of the cases, mainly including tricuspid regurgitation (18.37%, 9/49), decreased right ventricular diastolic function (8.16%, 4/49), aortic regurgitation (6.12%, 3/49), and atrial septal defect (6.12%, 3/49). A total of 15 types of echocardiography changes were detected in the villagers of the affected villages, mainly including tricuspid regurgitation (8.77%, 32/365), aortic regurgitation (6.85%, 25/365), and decreased left ventricular diastolic function (6.58%, 24/365).Conclusion:There are many types of changes in electrocardiogram and echocardiography in the population of key areas of Yunnan sudden death.

Objective To study the desmosomal protein plakophilin-2(PKP2)gene mutation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) in different populations of Yunnan unexplained sudden death (YUSD) areas,and explore the relationship between PKP2 gene mutation and YUSD.Methods Heart blood samples of YUSD cases (n =7) and venous blood samples of YUSD immediate family (n =30) and other family (n =11) members were collected.Basic situation and genetic relationship of YUSD immediate family and other family were investigated,and electrocardiography (ECG) was examined.DNA from blood samples was extracted and 15 exons of PKP2 gene were sequenced to analyze the mutation of PKP2 gene in different populations.Results A total of 10 people carried 11 PKP2 gene mutation sites with a mutation rate of 20.83％ (10/48).Two mutation sites were novel (p.G247R,p.T298N),and the new mutation sites were carried by two YUSD cases.Eight missense mutations were heterozygous mutations,two of the three synonymous mutations were heterozygous mutations,and one was homozygous synonymous mutation.The mutation sites were significantly concentrated in 4 exons,which were No.1 097 base of exon 4,No.819 and 893 bases of exon 3.2,No.739 base of exon 3.1,and No.156 base of exon 1.One YUSD case of ARVC pathological change carried exon 3.1 (p.G247R) and exon 4 (p.L366P) compound heterozygous mutations,the other YUSD case carried exon 3.2 (p.T298N) heterozygous mutation.The YUSD cases and immediate family with PKP2 gene mutations showed obvious family genetic relationships,and they were all first-degree and second-degree relatives.The abnormal ECGs of YUSD immediate family and other family mainly were conduction block,arrhythmia and premature beat.Conclusion There is a high PKP2 gene mutation rate in different populations of YUSD areas,and there may be a certain etiological connection between PKP2 gene mutations and YUSD.
