Expression conditions of induction strategies for the cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs) production of liver targeted interferon IFN-CSP by recombinant Escherichia coli (E. coli) BL21 (DE3) were optimized in shake-flask cultures in this study. The factors of the optimized protocol included in the present study were pH, inducer IPTG (isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside) concentration, culture growth temperature, incubation time and induction point. The effects of those factors were investigated by 'single variable at a time' method, aimed to analyze characterization of the recombinant strain. Orthogonal experimental design was further used to optimize the above critical factors for IFN-CSP production. According to the expression optimization result, it was confirmed that the main influence factors were cell density and induction temperature. The IFN-CSP gene expression optimized conditions were: pH value of the culture medium was 6.0, culture temperature 37 degrees C, adding IPTG to final concentration 0.4 mmol/L when the recombinant strain growth density OD600 achieved 0.8 and induction time 4 h. At this point, the IBs represented 74.3% of the total cellular protein. Compared with the non-optimized condition, IFN-CSP production obtained in optimized induction strategies were increased by approx. 1.2-fold. The optimized induction strategy yielded 688.8 mg/L of IFN-CSP, providing experimental data to study the biology activity and productive technology of IFN-CSP.

Background:Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)is a commonly seen functional intestinal disorder. Dietary factors are important factors affecting the abdominal symptoms of IBS patients. Aims:To investigate the effect of dietary factors on abdominal symptoms of IBS and the application of dietary adjustment strategy in patients lived in Xian,Shaanxi Province and the surrounding areas. Methods:Fifty-four outpatients with abdominal complaints who met the Rome Ⅲ criteria of IBS from Feb. 2015 to Jul. 2015 at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xian Jiaotong University were enrolled. Twenty healthy volunteers were served as controls. All subjects completed a questionnaire containing issues mainly on IBS symptoms, eating habits,dietary factors causing abdominal symptoms,and the patients’coping styles. Results:Compared with healthy controls,more rice and less spicy food,fatty food,raw/ cold food,acidic beverages and alcohol drinking were observed in diet of IBS patients(P all < 0. 05). Abdominal symptoms of IBS patients could be caused or exacerbated predominantly by cold food(55. 6% ),fatty food(55. 6% ),raw food(48. 1% ),meat(48. 1% )and spicy food (40. 7% ). More than half of the IBS patients(63. 0% ) adopted an elimination diet to minimize their abdominal symptoms. Spicy food(59. 3% ),raw food(48. 1% ),cold food(44. 4% ),fatty food(44. 4% )and meat(37. 0% ) were the most frequently eliminated classes of food. Conclusions:Dietary factors can affect the abdominal symptoms of IBS in patients lived in Xian,Shaanxi Province and the surrounding areas and elimination diet based on foods they perceive as problematic is widely used. The classes of food and eating habits causing abdominal symptoms are quite different between domestic and overseas IBS patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of microRNA-155(miR-155) on transforming growth factor β2 (TGF-β2)-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of human retinal pigment epithelial cells and its mechanism.Methods:The retinal pigment epithelial cell ARPE-19 cell line was used as the research object.The cells cultured with DMEM medium were served as the control group and the cells cultured with DMEM medium containing 10 ng/ml TGF-β2 were served as the TGF-β2 group.The ARPE-19 cells transfected with miR-155 inhibitor were set as the miR-155 inhibitor group and the ARPE-19 cells transfected with miR-155 negative control were set as the miR-155 negative control group, and the cells in the two groups were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10 ng/ml TGF-β2.After 48 hours cell culture, reverse transcription-PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-155 in each group, and scratch migration test and Transwell chamber test were used to detect cell migration and invasion ability, and Western blot was used to detect the expressions of phosphate and tension homology deleted on chromosome ten gene (PTEN), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), p-Akt and epithelial mesenchymal markers E-cadherin (E-cad), zonula occludens protein 1 (ZO-1), F-actin, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibronectin 1 (FN-l) vimentin, proteins.The target gene prediction library predicted miR-155 target gene and fluorescein enzyme reporter vectors were used to identify target genes.Results:After 48 hours of culture, the cells in the control group were in good condition with tight adherence and regular shape.The cells in the TGF-β2 group showed more obvious spindle shape with loose arrangement, and most of the cells were fibrous.The relative expression level of miR-155 in the cells of TGF-β2 group was 0.92±0.14, which was significantly higher than 0.35±0.06 of the control group ( t=7.242, P=0.003). The relative expression level of miR-155 in the cells of miR-155 inhibitor group was 0.21±0.03, which was significantly lower than 0.98±0.09 of the miR-155 negative control group ( t=12.421, P<0.01). The migration rate was higher and the number of cells passing through basement membrane was more in the TGF-β2 group than those of the control group, and the migration rate was higher and the number of cells passing through basement membrane of miR-155 was more in the miR-155 negative control group than those of the miR-155 inhibitor group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the relative expression levels of PTEN, E-cad, ZO-1, F-actin protein were decreased, while the relative expression levels of PI3K and the p-Akt/Akt ratio were increased, and the relative expression levels of α-SMA, FN-1, vimentin proteins were increased in the TGF-β2 group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.01). Compared with the miR-155 negative control group, the relative expression levels of E-cad, ZO-1, F-actin and PTEN proteins were increased, while the relative expression levels of α-SMA, FN-l, vimentin, PI3K and the p-Akt/Akt ratio were decreased in the miR-155 inhibitor group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.01). Target gene prediction library prediction and luciferase reporter vector identification confirmed that PTEN was a downstream target gene of miR-155. Conclusions:miR-155 can promote the TGF-β2-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition progress in human retinal pigment epithelial cells, and its mechanism may be related to inhibiting the expression of the target gene PTEN and stimulating the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To summarize the screening Methods for human parvovirus (HPV) B19 infection after liver transplantation and analyze the related risk factors. Methods Clinical data of 86 recipients were retrospectively analyzed. According to the Results of next generation sequencing (NGS), all recipients were divided into the HPV B19 infection group and control group. Clinical characteristics, treatment regime and clinical prognosis of patients infected with HPV B19 were analyzed. The risk factors of HPV B19 infection were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression model by forward LR step method. Results Nine of the 86 recipients developed fever and progressive anemia with unexplained reasons at approximately 2 weeks after liver transplantation. NGS detection demonstrated that HPV B19 was positive and they were diagnosed with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) caused by HPV B19 infection. After intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) was given and the immunosuppressant therapy was adjusted, the hemoglobin levels in all patients were significantly increased. The Results of multivariate analysis revealed that low serum globulin level in peripheral blood at postoperative 7 d [odds ratio (OR) =0.749, P=0.040] and young age (OR=0.937, P=0.038) were the independent risk factors of HPV B19 infection after liver transplantation. Conclusions HPV B19 infection should be considered in relatively young patients with unexplained hemoglobin decline early after liver transplantation. NGS screening is an effective method for early diagnosis of HPV B19 infection. Low serum globulin level in peripheral blood at postoperative 7 d and young age may be independent risk factors of the incidence of HPV B19 infection.

This present systematic review examines spine surgery literature supporting augmented reality (AR) technology and summarizes its current status in spinal surgery technology. Database search strategies were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, from the earliest records to April 1, 2021. Our review briefly examines the history of AR, and enumerates different device application workflows in a variety of spinal surgeries. We also sort out the pros and cons of current mainstream AR devices and the latest updates. A total of 45 articles are included in our review. The most prevalent surgical applications included are the augmented reality surgical navigation system and head-mounted display. The most popular application of AR is pedicle screw instrumentation in spine surgery, and the primary responsible surgical levels are thoracic and lumbar. AR guidance systems show high potential value in practical clinical applications for the spine. The overall number of cases in AR-related studies is still rare compared to traditional surgical-assisted techniques. These lack long-term clinical efficacy and robust surgical-related statistical data. Changing healthcare laws as well as the increasing prevalence of spinal surgery are generating critical data that determines the value of AR technology.
