Objecfive To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism-56(SNP-56)in calpain-10(CAPN-10)gene and polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)in Chinese.Methods The genotypes of SNP-56 of CAPN-10 were determined through polymerase chain reaction Tm-shift genotyping method in 638 local women in Shandong Province.Among them,334 were patients with PCOS (PCOS group)and 304 were normal women(control group).The baseline parameters including levels of serum follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),prolactin(PRL),estradiol(E2),testosterone(T)and lipid,as well as the body mass index(BMI)and waist/hip ratio(WHR)were measured.Glucose tolerance and insulin releasing before and after loading with 75 g of glucose were also assayed.Results(1)The frequencies of two allelotypes or three genotypes did not differ between PCOS women and normal women(P>0.05).(2)In PCOS group,patients with AA genotype had a significantly higher plasma glucose of 180 minutes OGTT(5.7±2.2)mmol/L[P<0.01 compared to Gagenotype(4.9±1.2) mmol/L,P<0.01 compared to GG genotype(4.9±1.4)mmol/L]and serum total cholesterol(TC)level(4.9±1.0)mmol/L[P<0.05 compared to Gagenotype(4.5±0.9)mmol/L].(3)Compared to PCOS patients with GA+GG genotype(P<0.05,P<0.01)or GG genotype(P<0.05,P<0.01),there was significantly higher attack rate of diabetes and tumor in the family history of patients with AA genotype.Conclusions These findings suggest that CAPN-10 gene SNP-56 which may not contribute to the genetic susceptibility of PCOS plays a role in glucose and lipid metabolism in Chinese PCOS patients.It may also be correlated with attack rate of diabetes and tumor in the family history of PCOS patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of β-catenin and drug-resistance mechanism of choriocarcinoma according to the expression of β-catenin in JEG-3 cells (human choriocarcinoma cell line) and drug resistant JEG-3/VP16 cells.Methods The mRNA and protein expressions of β-catenin were analyzed with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and Western blotting.Flow cytometry was used to determine the percentages of β-catenin-positive cells in the two choriocarcinoma cell lines.Results Both drug resistant choriocarcinoma cells and drag sensitive cells were found to express β-catenin; but the expression of β-catenin mRNA (1.43 ±0.24) and protein(1.49 ±0.17)in drug resistant choriocarcinoma cells was found much higher than that in drug sensitive cells(0.65 ±0.14,0.66 ±0.16,P <0.01).And according to detect by flow cytometry,we found the number of β-catenin-positive cells in JEG-3/VP16 cells [(40.13 ±5.17) %] was much more than that in JEG-3 cells [(13.15 ± 1.48) %,P < 0.01].Conclusions β-catenin was highly expressed in the drug resistant choriocarcinoma cell line (JEG-3/VP16).It indicates β-catenin might be involved in the drug resistance mechanism of choriocareinoma.

Objective To identify the N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-related characteristic genes analyzed by gene clustering and immune cell infiltration in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) after cardiopulmonary bypass through machine learning. Methods The differential genes associated with m6A methylation were screened by the dataset GSE132176 in GEO, the samples of the dataset were clustered based on the differential gene expression profile, and the Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of the differential genes of the m6A cluster after clustering were performed to determine the gene function of the m6A cluster. R software was used to determine the better models in machine learning of support vector machine (SVM) model and random forest (RF) model, which were used to screen m6A-related characteristic genes in MI/RI, and construct characteristic gene nomogram to predict the incidence of disease. R software was used to analyze the correlation between characteristic genes and immune cells, and the online website was used to build a characteristic gene regulatory network. Results In this dataset, a total of 5 m6A-related differential genes were screened, and the gene expression profiles were divided into two clusters for cluster analysis. The enrichment analysis of m6A clusters showed that these genes were mainly involved in regulating monocytes differentiation, response to lipopolysaccharides, response to bacteria-derived molecules, cellular response to decreased oxygen levels, DNA transcription factor binding, DNA-binding transcription activator activity, RNA polymerase Ⅱ specificity, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, interleukin-17 signaling pathway. The RF model was determined by R software as the better model, which determined that METTL3, YTHDF1, RBM15B and METTL14 were characteristic genes of MI/RI, and mast cells, type 1 helper lymphocytes (Th1), type 17 helper lymphocytes (Th17), and macrophages were found to be associated with MI/RI after cardiopulmonary bypass in immune cell infiltration. Conclusion The four characteristic genes METTL3, YTHDF1, RBM15B and METTL14 are obtained by machine learning, while cluster analysis and immune cell infiltration analysis can better reveal the pathophysiological process of MI/RI.

【Objective】 To investigate the hepatitis E virus(HEV) infection among voluntary blood donors in Liuzhou, Guangxi. 【Methods】 Qualified blood donations in Liuzhou from October to November 2019 were tested for anti-HEV IgG and IgM and.HEV antigen. HEV RNA test was performed on samples positive for HEV antigen and/or anti-HEV IgM. and the test results were analyzed statistically. 【Results】 The seroprevalence rates of HEV antigen and anti-HEV IgG and IgM among 5 751 qualified donations were 0, 26.03% (1497/5 751), and 1.67% (96/5 751), respectively.None of the 91 anti-HEV IgM positive samples was positive for HEV RNA, whereas 60.41% of anti-HEV IgM positive samples were anti-HEV IgG positive. The HEV antibody prevalence varied significantly by gender, age, and nationality (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The prevalence of anti-HEV IgG / IgM among blood donors in Liuzhou was higher than that in other domestic regions. Significant increase in HEV antibody prevalence was observed among ethnic minorities, such as Miao and Dong, and age group of more than 45 years.Follow-up studies with larger sample size could be conducted to estimate potential risks of HEV transmission by blood transfusion, which may provide references for selective screening of HEV infection marker among high-endemic population.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) pharmacology (PTCM) is a discipline that studies the interactions between Chinese medicines and the human body, as well as their underlying mechanisms, under the guidance of TCM theories while employing modern scientific techniques and methods. This article reviews the historical development and achievements of the PTCM discipline at the Institute of Chinese Materia Medica, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, and outlines the reform measures undertaken in recent years to advance the construction of the graduate course system in PTCM. Building upon the foundation of the "Special Topics in PTCM" course, the curriculum has been expanded through reforms to include a series of self-designed courses, such as foundational advanced courses, experimental pharmacology courses, pharmacological research tools courses, and applied TCM research courses. Along with enriching the graduate course system, the study explores innovative approaches and methods for graduate education and teaching in PTCM, and reflects on the challenges in course system construction and teaching, serving as a reference for improving the quality of graduate training, promoting the development of the PTCM discipline, and advancing teaching reform practices.
