Objective To detect the independently designed synthetic peptide adsorbed to the titanium surface and its inhibitory effect on streptococcus gordonii, and to provide a new means for antibiosis reseach on oral implants. Methods The physical and chemical properties of the synthetic peptide and antimicrobial peptide were measured by ExPASy Prot?Param tool, ProtScale analysis, circular dichroism and Zeta potential instrument. The synthetic peptide was anchored on the surface of the titanium specimen through incubation at room temperature. The adsorption of the synthetic peptide to the titani?um surface was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). The inhibitory effect on streptococcus gordonii of the synthetic peptide fixed on the titanium surface was viewed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The destructive effects of the synthetic peptide and the antimicrobial peptide on streptococcus gordonii were observed through the transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results The independently designed synthetic peptide still had the physical and chemical properties that the antimicrobial peptide desired. The synthetic peptide had already been detected on the titanium surface after incubated in a 5 g/L synthetic peptide solution. The titanium specimen fixed with the synthetic peptide inhibited the survival and adhesion of streptococcus gordonii. Conclusion It suggests that the indepen?dently designed synthetic peptide might have reached the goal of bacterial inhibition on the titanium surface.

Abstract: Objective To analyze the impact of the flood disaster on the distribution of Oncomelania snails in 2020 in Wuhu City, to provide scientific basis for formulating the "14th Five-Year Plan" for schistosomiasis control and precise prevention and control measures in Wuhu City. Methods Systematic sampling combined with environmental spot check was used to investigate the distribution of snails in the historical snail's environment, existing snail's environment and suspected snail's environment in Wuhu City. The collected snails were crushed and examined by microscope to understand the death and life of snails and the infection of Schistosoma japonicum, and the density of live snails and other indicators were counted. Results The historical area of snails was 14 475.24 hm2 in Wuhu City, and the existing area of snails was 4 588.72 hm2, including 4 210.32 hm2 for lake type and 378.40 hm2 for hill type snails. The average occurrence rate of live snails was 14.59%, and the average density of live snails was 0.50 snails/0.1 m2 in Wuhu City. There were 2 745 snail breeding environments, of which 491 were lake type and 2 254 are hill type, accounting for 17.89% and 82.11% respectively. The existing snail area was mainly distributed in the beaches and ditches, accounting for 92.51% and 6.29% of the existing snail area respectively. Some snails were distributed in ponds, paddy fields and other environments. Among all the historical snail habitats, the majority were class Ⅱ and class Ⅲ environments (which still have the basic conditions for snail breeding at present), with a total of 1 739 sites (blocks), accounting for 63.35% of the total environment. No schistosomiasis infected snails have been found, and the newly discovered and recovered snails cover an area of 268.21 hm2 in Wuhu City. Conclusions The distribution of snails is extensive in Wuhu City, and snails are mostly distributed in beaches, which are vulnerable to the impact of flood disasters. The spread of Oncomelania snails is found in 30 marshlands in 3 counties in this survey. It is necessary to continue to strengthen snail monitoring after disasters, and take class Ⅱ and class Ⅲ environments as key areas for snail monitoring, so as to find, identify and evaluate the risk of schistosomiasis transmission as soon as possible, to avoid or reduce the impact of flood disasters on the process of schistosomiasis control, and promote the process of schistosomiasis elimination.

ObjectiveStromal cell-derived factor -1 (SDF-1 ) is closely related to the biological characteristics of breast cancer. We aimed to explore whether estrogen affected breast cancer by SDF-1. MethodsThe breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and MRC5 were chosen, and divided into three groups: the control group, the estrogen group and the estrogen + estrogen receptor blocker group. Each group was cultured with different physiological concentrations of 17-β estrogen at certain time, and the same alcohol concentration of 17-β estradiol at different time points, and then the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure the concentration of SDF-1 in culture medium, and the semi-quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT -PCR) was used to detect the expression of SDF-1 mRNA in each group.ResultsSDF-1 can be detected in the culture medium of both MCF-7 and MRC5 cell lines. All different concentrations of 17-β estradiol may increase the secretion of SDF-1 in MCF-7 cells. When adding 17-β estradiol to the concentration of 107mol/L, the secretion of SDF-1 reached the peak in 2 hours, which was 6 times and 2.7 times that of control group ( P < 0.01 ). The effect could be ehminated by pure estrogen receptor ICI182,780. In addition, the mRNA expression of SDF-1 was consistent with the SDF-1 protein levels-l07 mol/L group. The expression of SDF-1 mRNA was higher than both that of the control group and the blocking group in 2 hours (P < 0.05 ). ConclusionsIn some breast cancer cell lines, physiological concentrations of estrogen can increase the secretion of SDF- 1, and this effect is mainly achieved through the estrogen receptor. Estrogen can influence the biological characteristics of breast cancer by SDF-1.

Objective To investigate the influence of Cordyceps polysaceharide (Cp) on epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)in proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTEC). Methods HK-2 cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. After incubation of HK2 cells with increasing concentrations of TGF-β1 (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 μg/L) at 48 h and with TGF-β1 (5 μ/L) at different time points, E-cadherin, α-SMA, FN expression at transcriptional and protein levels were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting respectively. The cells were pretreated with 1,5, 10 g/L Cp respectively for 24 h before adding TGF-β1 (5μg/L), then the cells were incubated for additional 48 h, mRNA and proteinexpression of above 3 cytokines was examined by real-time PCR and Western blotting as well. Results CP alone (0.01, 0.1, 1,5, 10 g/L) induced HK-2 cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. TGF-β1 enhanced α-SMA, FN expression while inhibited E-cedherin expression at both transcriptional and" protein level in HK-2 cell. At transcriptional level, compared to single TGF-β1 (5 μg/L) stimulating group, after Cp (1,5, 10 g/L) pretreatment for 24 h, the inhibition rate of a-SMA mRNA was 37.98%, 68.08% and 84.36%, respectively; FN mRNA was 46.97%, 63.82% and 81.85%, respectively; E-cadherin was up-regulated by 0.67 fold, 2.69 folds and 5.43 folds, respectively (P<0.05). At protein level, the inhibition rate of α-SMA was 33.40%, 47.75% and 68.50%, respectively; FN was 16.26%, 65.92% and 80.30%, respectively; E-cadherin was up-regulated by 1.33 folds, 3.19 folds and 4.29 folds, respectively (all P<0.05). Under Light microscopy, the Cp reversed cell shape from spindle-shape induced by TGF-β1 to nearly normal shape. Conclusion Cp may exert its inhibitive effects on TGF-β1-induced EMT.
