Objective : To establish the liver conditional knockout mouse model ofNod2gene infected byKlebsiella pneumoniae(K.pneumoniae),and to explore the role and mechanism ofNod2gene in the process of liver abscess caused byK.pneumoniaeinfections. Methods : Nod2flox/floxmice were obtained by self-crossing ofNod2flox/+mice, andAlb-Cre+mice were hybridized withNod2flox/+to obtainNod2flox/+;Alb-Cre+mice, then the above two genotypes mice were crossed to obtain liver conditional knockout mice ofNod2gene(Nod2flox/flox;Alb-Cre+) and negative control mice in the same litter(Nod2flox/flox).The genomic DNA of mice toe was extracted and amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The genotypes of offspring were identified by agar-gel electrophoresis and the livers of mice were extracted.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to verify the knockout efficiency ofNod2gene in the liver.Both experimental group and control group mice were infected withK.pneumoniae,and the survival rate and pathological changes of livers were observed at different time points, and mRNA expression levels of Tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 1β(IL-1β) and C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1(CXCL1) in the livers of experimental group and control group were detected by RT-qPCR 24 h postK.pneumoniaeinfections. Results : The expression of NOD2 mRNA in the liver ofNod2flox/flox;Alb-Cre+mice decreased, and the Western blot results showed that the expression of NOD2 protein decreased.Compared with the control group, the survival rate of mice infected withK.pneumoniaein the experimental group decreased(median survival time=60.5 h,P=0.046 9) and the liver tissue showed more serious pathological damage, furthermore the mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and CXCL1 in the livers of experimental group were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). Conclusion NOD2 plays a protective role in the process of liver abscess induced byK.pneumoniaeinfections.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the prevalence and distribution characteristics of mental disorders among people aged 18 and above in Shandong Province.Methods:In 2015, an epidemiological survey was carried out to investigate the patterns of mental disorders in 49 counties of Shandong Province. A total of 28 000 individuals aged 18 years or older were selected using the multistage stratified cluster sampling method. All these participants were classified as at a high or low risk of mental disorders according to the assessment results of the revised version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). The diagnosis of mental disorders was confirmed using the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Forth edition (DSM-Ⅳ) axis I or MMSE. All participants at high risk of mental disorders were evaluated using DSM-Ⅳ or MMSE to confirm the psychiatric diagnoses, while 10% of participants at low risk of mental disorders were randomly selected to be evaluated. The prevalence and its 95% confidence interval of mental disorders were adjusted according to study design and sociodemographic characteristics of the sample. The between-group differences of prevalence were compared using chi-square tests or Fisher′s exact tests as appropriately.Results:A total of 27 489 individuals completed survey. The adjusted prevalence of any mental disorder was 17.46% (95 %CI 17.02%-17.89%). The five most prevalent mental disorder spectrums were substance use disorders (5.29%), mood disorders (4.47%), anxiety disorders (4.46%), intellectual and mental disorders due to physical or substance (1.91%), and psychotic disorders (1.12%). The most common mental disorders were alcohol use disorder (5.27%) and major depressive disorder (2.14%). The prevalence of mental disorders in men was higher than that in women (23.37% vs. 13.89%; χ 2=408.91, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of mental disorders between rural residents and urban residents (17.69% vs. 17.20%; χ2=1.05, P=0.305). Of participants with mental disorders, 26.12% (1 047/4 008) had moderate to severe functional impairment and 10.98% (428/3 898) have sought professional help. Conclusion:The prevalence of mental disorders among people aged 18 and above in Shandong Province is basically consistent with the results of similar domestic studies. The prevalence of mental disorder was higher in men than in women and was not differ in participants living in urban and rural areas. Alcohol use disorder, major depressive disorder, non-specific anxiety disorder and non-specific depressive disorder are most common mental disorders.

Objective To construct lentiviral vector of late endosomal／lysosomal adaptor, mitogen-activated protein kinase and mammalian target of rapamycin activator 2 ( lamtor2) gene, and to explore its regulatory role on inflammatory response of macrophages after Klebsiella pneumoniae infection.Methods Two pairs of mouse lamtor2 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) were designed and sub-cloned into PLKO.1-puro to construct lentiviral vector, and were transfected into the murine RAW264.7 macrophage.There were two experimental groups including pLKO.1-puro shlamtor 2-1(sh1 group) and pLKO.1-puro shlamtor 2-2 (sh2 group), and the RAW264.7 cells transfected with non-treated pLKO.1-puro was set as control.The expession of lamtor2 were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( RT-qPCR ) and Western blot.The levels of inflammatory factors including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-αsecreted by the cells were detected by RT-qPCR.T test was used for comparison between groups.Results The recombinant lentiviral vector PLKO.1-shlamtor 2 transfected RAW264.7 cells successfully.The relative expressions of lamtor2 mRNA in the control group, the sh1 group and the sh2 group were 1.000 ±0.000, 0.596 ±0.125 and 0.120 ±0.080, respectively.The expression of lamtor2 in the sh2 group was significantly lower than that in the sh 1 group (t＝3.399, P＝0.015), and they were both significantly lower than the control group ( t ＝3.333 and 9.734, respectively, both P ＜0.05).After infection with Klebsiella pneumoniae, expression levels of IL-1β( t ＝15.20), IL-6 (t＝43.30) and TNF-α(t＝12.67) were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P＜0.01).Conclusion The lentiviral vector of lamtor2 can stably down-regulate the expression of lamtor2 gene in macrophages through RNA interference mechanism , which has a significant effect on the secretion of inflammatory factors of macrophages that are infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae.
