Objective To investigate the effects of neurotrophic factor Neuritin overexpression on the angiogenic effects of chicken embryonic allantoic membrane (CAM) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs),and to provide a new direction for the treatment of angiogenic diseases. Methods Thirty fresh yellow-skinned breeding eggs were selected to establish a CAM model,which were divided into three groups by randomized numerical table method:positive control group (bFGF),negative control group (NS) and experimental group (Neuritin),with 10 eggs in each group. The positive control group was loaded with 2500 U/mL of bFGF,the experimental group was loaded with 10 μg/mL of Neuritin protein,and the negative control group was loaded with NS. 10 μL loading volume was loaded into each group,and all CAMs were incubated at the same temperature,relative humidity,and time,and the vascular branching,number,and size of the CAMs in each group were recorded after 72 h of incubation. Fresh umbilical cords from healthy pregnant women were selected to produce primary HUVECs,which were divided into three groups:transfected with recombinant plasmid (HUVEC-neu group),transfected with empty vector (HUVEC-3.1 group),and untransfected (HUVEC group). Primary HUVECs in the HUVEC-neu group were transfected with the recombinant plasmid Neuritin,and those in the HUVEC-3.1 group were transfected with the empty vector. HUVEC-3.1 group was transfected with the empty vector plasmid,and HUVEC group was not given any special treatment,and all three groups received the same culture regimen. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression level of Neuritin in HUVEC-3.1 and HUVEC-neu groups. CCK-8 assay,cell scratch assay,Transwell assay,and tube formation assay were used to detect protein expression level of Neuritin in HUVEC-3.1 group and HUVEC-neu group,and HUVEC-neu groups for cell proliferation,migration and tube formation. Results (1) The number of CAM vessel branch points and microvessels in the experimental group was significantly increased compared with that in the negative control group (P<0.01),but there was no statistically significant difference in the number of large and medium-sized vessels between the two groups (P>0.05);(2) Neuritin was successfully overexpressed in HUVECs in the HUVEC-neu group. (3) Compared with the HUVEC-3.1 group,the proliferation vigor of cells in the HUVEC-neu group was decreased (P<0.05),but their migration and tube formation abilities were significantly enhanced (P<0.01). Conclusion Neuritin overexpression promotes angiogenesis and participates in the regulation of neovascularization by affecting cell prolif-eration,migration,and tube formation ability.

The statement"Blood is the material carrier of spirit and qi"indicates that the generation of blood relies on the coordinated governance of spirit and qi,while simultaneously serving as their material foundation.Based on the physiological connection among"blood-spirit-qi",this article explores the pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)accompanied by anxiety and depression.It proposes that essence and blood deficiency,premature exhaustion of Tian Gui(reproductive essence),and failure of blood to nourish the spirit form a pathological chain:"blood deficiency-spirit disturbance-POI with anxiety and depression".Blood stasis obstructing the uterine chamber,disorder of the chong and ren meridians,and failure of blood to carry the spirit give rise to the transformation:"blood stasis-spirit depression-POI with anxiety and depression".Liver qi stagnation and disruption of qi and blood further exacerbate the imbalance between blood and spirit,aggravating the disease progression.Based on this pathological analysis,the general treatment principle of"regulating blood,harmonizing spirit,and rectifying qi"is established.For patients with blood deficiency syndrome,treatment should focus on tonifying essence and blood,replenishing reproductive essence,and nourishing the spirit,selecting Guanyuan(CV4),Zusanli(ST36),and Sanyinjiao(SP6)as main acupoints.For patients with blood stasis syndrome,treatment should aim to regulate the chong and ren meridians,promote blood circulation,and calm the spirit,selecting Qichong(ST30),Zhongji(CV3),and Xuehai(SP10)as main acupoints.Simultaneously,the method of regulating the liver should be applied throughout the entire treatment process to soothe the liver,regulate qi,relieve depression,and calm the spirit,selecting Baihui(GV20),Taichong(LR3),and Ganshu(BL18)as main acupoints.Appropriate acupuncture techniques and methods should be chosen according to the patient's constitution and condition,providing new therapeutic ideas and approaches for clinical practice.

Objective:To establish a rapid and accurate duplex real-time fluorescent reverse transcription-recombinase polymerase amplification/recombinase-aided amplification(RT-RPA/RAA)detection method for identification and differentiation of Nipah virus(NiV),Langya virus(LayV),Mojiang virus(MoJV),and Cedar virus(CedV).Methods:First,specific primers and probes were designed targeting the conserved L gene regions of NiV and LayV,as well as the conserved N gene regions of MoJV and CedV,respectively. The four viruses were divided into two groups for duplex detection. Subsequently,the optimal primer and probe combinations were screened by comparing the amplification efficiency of different primer pair combinations(F1/R1,F1/R2,F2/R1,F2/R2). The reaction temperature was optimized through temperature gradient settings from 37 ℃ to 42 ℃,and the amounts of primers and probes were optimized to establish the duplex real-time fluorescent RT-RPA/RAA detection system. Finally,the detection performance was evaluated through specificity,sensitivity,and stability tests,as well as clinical sample validation.Results:The selected primer pairs(NiV primer pair F2/R1,LayV primer pair F1/R1,MoJV primer pair F2/R2,and CedV primer pair F2/R2)all demonstrated optimal amplification efficiency when combined with their corresponding probes. The optimal annealing temperature was 39 ℃,and the minimum detection limit was 101-102 copies/μl. The method could effectively distinguish target viruses from other non-target viruses,and repeated experiments showed good stability( R2> 0.90). Additionally,detection results for Malaysian NiV strains and various clinical samples were consistent with the Taqman multiplex qRT-PCR method. Conclusion:The duplex real-time fluorescent RT-RPA/RAA detection method successfully established in this study can rapidly and accurately identify and differentiate four important henipavirus-like viruses:NiV,LayV,MoJV,and CedV. It features simple operation,rapid reaction,high specificity,and good stability,providing an effective molecular detection tool for rapid field diagnosis,surveillance,and control of these zoonotic viruses.
