Objective To identify PDZ domain containing proteins interacting with PTEN and its characterization with NHERF-1 by proteomic analysis. Methods The interactions between PTEN and PDZ domain containing proteins were screened with PDZ protein array, and the novel one was then identified with GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation assay. Results Using a PDZ protein array, we proved PTEN binding with NHERF-1. The interaction of PTEN and NHERF-1 was further characterized by GST pull down assay, and we demonstrated that PTEN associated with NHERF-1 via the binding of PTEN carboxyl-terminal with the PDZ domain 1 (PDZ1) of NHERF-1. The last four amino acids (I-T-K-V) of the PTEN were the key determinants of this interaction as mutation of any of the four amino acids to alanine resulted in markedly reducing association of PTEN with NHERF-1. In addition, the full-length of PTEN robustly associated with NHERF-1 was also determined by co-immunoprecipitation experiment in cos-7 cells. Conclusion PTEN/NHERF-1 association was mediated via the binding of PTEN carboxyl-terminal]with the PDZ1 of NHERF-1, and the last four amino acids of the PTEN carboxyl-terminal were important for PTEN/NHERF-1 interaction.

BACKGROUND: Experiments has demonstrated that low-intensity pulse ultrasound stimulations(LIPUS) can accelerate bone healing. However, Its affect mechanisms on maturation of regenerated bone remain unclear.OBJECTIVE: The hypothesis that LIPUS has positive effect on maturation of regenerate bone was put forward creatively, and wants to vedfy the hypothesis by compare the difference between LIPUS intervention and no intervention.METHODS: Thlrty-six adult, healthy, New Zealand White rabbits were randomly assigned to LIPUS treatment group and control.group, with 18 animals in each group.All animals were undergone mid-diaphyeaal tibia ostactomy and were immobilized in Orthofix M103 Mini lengtheners. After a eaven-day latency period, gradual distraction of 0.5 mm per twelve hours for 10 days to produce 10 mm distraction. A 4-weeks course of LIPUS treatment was applled over the distraction site for twenty minutes daily starting immediately after the completion of distraction. At weeks 4, 8, 12 after distraction, the bone healing was evaluated by X-ray film, and total mineralized areas were measured by Image J software. The newly formed bone In the lerigthening field was harvested and stained with haematoxylin-eosin, Masson's tdchroma end VG. Thearaas of newly formed bone were measured to calculate a percentage of the total callus area.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Thirty-six rabbits ware included in the final analysis, At week 4 after distraction, the maturation of newly formed bone in LIPUS treatment group appeared eadier than that in the control groups. The bona callus image presented in the marginal and center region of experimental defect, increased greatly and had higher density until filled of the lengthening fields. Many bone-like masses appeared in the newly formed tissues and the tissues surrounding the bone granules partially changed Into bone-like tissues, and the rate of callus production was increased (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups at weeks 8 and 12 after distraction. Histological results showed that that new bone formation of the LIPUS group was earlier than the control group at weeks 4, 8, and 12 after distraction. The percentage of new bona on total callus area of the LIPUS group was greater than that of the control group at weak 4, but there was no obvious difference at weeks 8 and 12 after distraction. LIPUS accelerates new bone formation, increases the size of the distraction callus, exhibits highly effective in achieving maturation of bone in the animal modal with distraction osteogenesis.

Objective To explore the effect of low intensity pulsed ultrasound stimulation (LI-PUS) on the maturation of regenerate bone in a rabbit limb lengthening model. Methods Sixty skeletal mature female New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into an LIPUS treatment group and a control group. All rabbits were underwent mid-diaphyseal tibial osteotomy and immobilized in an Orthofix M103 Mini lengther. Gradual distraction at 0. 5 mm every 12 h for 10 d was performed at day 7 postoperatively. A 4-week course of LIPUS treatment group was applied over the distraction site for 20 min daily starting immediately after the completion of the distraction only for the treatment group. Rabbits were euthanized and the mid-diaphyseal tibia was harvested for evaluation at 4, 8, and 12 wk after the completion of the bone lengthening protocol. Radiographic analysis was performed to study the formation of bone callus using the ImageJ software at 12 wk after the completion of the bone lengthening protocol. Bone mineral density (BMD) of regenerate bone was measured by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) . Torsional testing to failure was performed on the tibia specimens at 8 and 12 wk after the completion of the bone lengthening protocol. Results Radio-graphic measurement showed higher relative gray scale of bone callus in the LIPUS group than that in the control group at 12 wk (P < 0. 05) . BMD in the LIPUS group was significantly higher than that in control group at 8 and 12 wk (P < 0. 05). Biomechanical testing showed that the ultimate torque, ultimate torsional stiffness, and energy absorption at failure of regenerated bone at 8 and 12 wk in the LIPUS treatment group were better than those in the control group (P < 0. 05) Conclusion LIPUS as a biophysical stimulation may accelerate the formation and maturation of regenerate bone in rabbit tibia lengthening model.

9.Pay attention to the risk of infection and tumor progression during application of TNF-α inhibitors in uveitis
Chinese Journal of Experimental Ophthalmology 2021;39(11):929-932
Adalimumab, one of the tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) inhibitors, has been approved as a therapeutic drug for non-infectious intermediate, posterior and pan-uveitis by FDA.Due to the good efficacy, TNF-α inhibitors are being applied widely in ophthalmology.However, some researches based on the application of TNF-α inhibitor in treating inflammatory bowel diseases and rheumatoid arthritis, etc.have showed that it can bring out some adverse effects such as infection and tumor occurrence and/or progression.The main safety problems in the application of TNF-α inhibitors lie in its increased risk of serious infection, postoperative infection, the occurrence or progression of tuberculosis and hepatitis, as well as the tumorigenesis and tumor progression.With the wider application of adalimumab in refractory uveitis, ophthalmologists should not only focus on its therapeutic effect, but also get to know the adverse effects of the drug, so as to standardize the examination, prevention and control of primary diseases before and after the administration of adalimumab and observe closely clinical manifestations of patients with administration of adalimumab, select the treating method and timing reasonably to reduce and avoid the adverse drug reactions, and improve the therapeutic outcome.

Objective:
To investigate the genotypes and prognosis of infants with definitive diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases during neonatal screening in Zhejiang Province from 2009 to 2021, so as to provide insights into the management of birth defects.
Methods:
The medical records of infants with definitive diagnosis of inherited metabolic diseases by tandem mass spectrometry during neonatal screening in Zhejiang Province from 2009 to 2021 were collected from the database created by Zhejiang Provincial Center for Neonatal Disease Screening. The prevalence, genotypes and prognosis of inherited metabolic diseases were analyzed.
Results:
A total of 1 038 infants were definitively diagnosed with inherited metabolic diseases in Zhejiang Province from 2009 to 2021, with an overall incidence rate of 1/4 535. There were 400 infants with amino acid metabolic disorders (AAD), 342 infants with fatty acid oxidation metabolic disorders and 296 infants with organic acid metabolic disorders (OAD), with incidence of 1/11 767, 1/13 763 and 1\15 902, respectively. There were 32 types of diseases, including 13 types of AAD, 8 types of FAOD and 11 types of OAD identified, and phenylketonuria and tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency (PKU/BH4D), primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) and methylmalonic academia (MMA) were detected as the most common forms of AAD, FAOD and OAD, with incidence of 1/20 827, 1/24 262 and 1\49 030, respectively. A total of 789 infants received genetic testing (76.01%), and genetic testing was performed among 70.00% of infants with AAD, 83.04% of infants with FAOD and 76.01% of infants with OAD. The c.728G >A (p.R243Q) variant was the most common mutation in infants with PKU (29.17%), c.1400C>G (p.S467C) variant was the most common mutation in infants with PCD (33.46%), c.609G>A (p.W203X) variant was the most common mutation in infants with combined MMA (40.00%), and c.1663G>A (p.A555T) variant was the most common mutation in infants with MMA (17.86%). Among the 997 infants (96.05%) with successful follow-up, 973 infants (93.74%) had normal intelligence and physical developments, and 41 infants died (3.95%), including 9 deaths due to AAD, 15 deaths due to FAOD and 17 deaths due to OAD.
Conclusions
The incidence of PKU, PCD and MMA was high among infants with inherited metabolic diseases in Zhejiang Province from 2009 to 2021, with c.728G>A (p.R243Q), c.1400C>G (p.S467C) and c.609G>A (p.W203X) variants as common gene mutations, respectively. Most infants with inherited metabolic diseases had a favorable prognosis; however, the mortality of OAD was relatively high.
