Feces and intestinal contents of pigs suspected with porcine epidemic diarrhea virus were collected from a farm in Minqin County,Gansu Province,China.After the suspected positive sam-ples were detected by RT-PCR,Vero cells were used to isolate and culture them in vitro.The suc-cessfully isolated virus was identified in the laboratory,and its whole genome sequence was ana-lyzed for genetic evolution.The pathogenicity was evaluated by animal regression test.The results showed that typical syncytial lesions could be observed when the PEDV-positive treatment solu-tion was inoculated with Vero cells in the 4th generation,and the virus titer in the 6th generation reached 10-4 75TCID50/mL.PEDV-like virions with a diameter of about 100 nm and a round shape with obvious capsular membranes and spikes were observed by electron microscopy.Whole genome sequencing analysis showed that the total length of this strain was 28 085 bp,which was far from the G1 subtype represented by the classical strain CV777(96.6％),and had a high homology with the G2b strains BC-2011-1,IA1,USA/Colorado/2013 and WELL(98.6％).This indicated that the strain belonged to the G2b epidemic strain.The animal regression test showed that the 5-day-old piglets developed vomiting,acute watery diarrhea,emaciation and mental depression within 12 h after the attack,and the symptoms worsened and died within 24 h.After autopsy,the infected piglets could be observed with stomach swelling,high intestinal heave,thin and transparent intesti-nal wall,and undigested milk clots inside.In summary,a PEDV G2b epidemic strain was success-fully isolated and identified in this study,and its whole genome sequence and pathogenicity were analyzed,providing research materials for future studies on PEDV gene function,pathogenic mech-anism and vaccine development.

To screen and identify the key host proteins interacting with the non-structural protein 15 (Nsp15) of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV). The IP/pull-down assay and mass spectrometry were employed to screen and identify the host proteins interacting with Nsp15. The interaction between the host protein and Nsp15 was studied by co-immunoprecipitation and laser scanning confocal microscopy. Finally, Western blotting and RT-qPCR were employed to examine the interaction between SLC25a3 and PEDV. The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1(+)-Flag-Nsp15 was successfully constructed, and the host protein SLC25a3 interacting with PEDV Nsp15 was screened out. An interaction existed between SLC25a3 and Nsp15, and SLC25a3 significantly inhibited PEDV replication in a dose-dependent manner. SLC25a3 inhibits PEDV replication. The results of this study provide a basis for deciphering the role and mechanism of SLC25a3 in the host immune response to PEDV infection.

Improving the reproducibility of biomedical research results is a major challenge.Transparent and accurate reporting of the research process enables readers to evaluate the reliability of the research results and further explore the experiment by repeating it or building upon its findings. The ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines, released in 2019 by the UK National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), provide a checklist applicable to any in vivo animal research report. These guidelines aim to improve the standardization of experimental design, implementation, and reporting, as well as the reliability, repeatability, and clinical translatability of animal experimental results. The use of ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines not only enriches the details of animal experimental research reports, ensuring that information on animal experimental results is fully evaluated and utilized, but also enables readers to understand the content expressed by the author accurately and clearly, promoting the transparency and integrity of the fundamental research review process. At present, the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines have been widely adopted by international biomedical journals. This article is a Chinese translation based on the best practices of international journals following the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines in international journals, specifically for the complete interpretation of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines published in the PLoS Biology journal in 2020 (original text can be found at https://arriveguidelines.org). The fourth part of the article includes the items 1-5 of ARRIVE 2.0 Recommended 11 section, which covers "Abstract" "Background" "Objectives" "Ethical statement" and "Housing and husbandry". Its aim is to promote the full understanding and use of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines by domestic researchers, enhance the standardization of experimental animal research and reporting, and promote the high-quality development of experimental animal technology and comparative medicine research in China.

In order to construct a recombinant replication deficient human type 5 adenovirus (Ad5) expressing a foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) capsid protein, specific primers for P12A and 3B3C genes of FMDV-OZK93 were synthesized. The P12A and 3B3C genes were then amplified and connected by fusion PCR, and a recombinant shuttle plasmid pDC316-mCMV-EGFP-P12A3B3C expressing the FMDV-OZK93 capsid protein precursor P12A and 3B3C protease were obtained by inserting the P12A3B3C gene into the pDC316-mCMV-EGFP plasmid. The recombinant adenovirus rAdv-P12A3B3C-OZK93 was subsequently packaged, characterized and amplified using AdMax^TM adenovirus packaging system, and the expression was verified by infecting human embryonic kidney cell HEK-293. The humoral and cellular immunity levels of well-expressed and purified recombinant adenovirus immunized mice were evaluated. The results showed that rAdv-P12A3B3C-OZK93 could be stably passaged and the maximum virus titer reached 1×10^9.1 TCID₅₀/mL. Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence showed that rAdv-P12A3B3C-OZK93 expressed the FMDV-specific proteins P12A and VP1 in HEK-293 cells. In addition, the PK cell infection experiment confirmed that rAdv-P12A3B3C-OZK93 could infect porcine cells, which is essential for vaccination in pigs. Comparing with the inactivated vaccine group, the recombinant adenovirus could induce higher FMDV-specific IgG antibodies, γ-IFN and IL-10. This indicates that the recombinant adenovirus has good immunity for animal, which is very important for the subsequent development of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine.

Many people affected by fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autism spectrum disorders have sensory processing deficits, such as hypersensitivity to auditory, tactile, and visual stimuli. Like FXS in humans, loss of Fmr1 in rodents also cause sensory, behavioral, and cognitive deficits. However, the neural mechanisms underlying sensory impairment, especially vision impairment, remain unclear. It remains elusive whether the visual processing deficits originate from corrupted inputs, impaired perception in the primary sensory cortex, or altered integration in the higher cortex, and there is no effective treatment. In this study, we used a genetic knockout mouse model (Fmr1^KO), in vivo imaging, and behavioral measurements to show that the loss of Fmr1 impaired signal processing in the primary visual cortex (V1). Specifically, Fmr1^KO mice showed enhanced responses to low-intensity stimuli but normal responses to high-intensity stimuli. This abnormality was accompanied by enhancements in local network connectivity in V1 microcircuits and increased dendritic complexity of V1 neurons. These effects were ameliorated by the acute application of GABA_A receptor activators, which enhanced the activity of inhibitory neurons, or by reintroducing Fmr1 gene expression in knockout V1 neurons in both juvenile and young-adult mice. Overall, V1 plays an important role in the visual abnormalities of Fmr1^KO mice and it could be possible to rescue the sensory disturbances in developed FXS and autism patients.

Objective There have been many techniques proposed for the reconstruction of pancreatic digestive continuity to prevent fistula (PF) formation, but this is still highly debated. We carried out a systematic review and meta- analysis to determine the effectiveness of methods of anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Methods A full literature search was conducted in the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register Databases, Medline, et al.Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) were considered for inclusion. Analysis was carried out using Revman software. Results In all, 10 RCTs including a total of 1 408 patients were included, the pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) and pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) groups, duct to mucosa PJ and PJ, binding PJ and PJ, pancreatic duct without anastomosis PJ and PJ. The meta-analysis showed that the PF, postoperative complications, biliary fistula, mortality, re-operation and hospital stay were not statistically different among four methods(P>0.05).Conclusions No ideal technique of pancreatic reconstruction after PD is found to be applicable to all kinds of pancreatic remnants in this systematic review and meta-analysis.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare Carbinoxamine maleate sustained-release suspension,and evaluate its quality. METH-ODS:Using carbinoxamine maleate as raw material,drug-loaded resin was prepared by cation exchange resin;surface coating method was used to finally prepare sustained-release suspension,using Eudragit RS100 as sustained-release coating material to pre-pare sustained-release microparticles. HPLC was conducted to determine the content of carbinoxamine maleate,release degree of original preparations and self-made suspensions was compared,drug-loading capacity was calculated. RESULTS:The drug amount in preparing drug-loaded resin was 2%,reaction temperature was 25 ℃,and reaction time was 4 h;the drug-loading capacity in surface coating was 35%,amount of coating material was 10%,and reaction temperature was 40 ℃. The drug-loading capacities of sustained particles before and after coating were 35.23%,32.72%,respectively;the yield was 96.82%. The carbinoxamine ma-leate in prepared sustained-release suspension accounted for 98.76% of the labeled amount;release degree in 10 h reached about 80%,f2 was 65.73. CONCLUSIONS:Carbinoxamine maleate sustained-release suspension is prepared successfully,and its release is similar to the original preparation.

AIM: To investigate the effect of peripheral administration of arginine vasopressin (AVP) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fever and hyperalgesia in rats and its relationship with interleukine-1β (IL-1β) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).METHODS: The core temperature (Tc), brown adipose tissue (BAT) temperature and activity were measured by telemetry in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats at an ambient temperature of 23 ℃ during a 12 h light/12 h dark photoperiod (lights on at 06:00 and lights off at 18:00).The rats were intraperitoneally injected with LPS (50 μg/kg), AVP (10 μg/kg) or V1a vasopressin receptor antagonist (V1a antagonist, 30 μg/kg) at 10:00 or 11:30.Hyperalgesia was assessed by measuring the latency to withdraw a hindpaw from radiant heat (Hargreaves test).The concentrations of IL-1β and PGE2 in the serum were tested by ELISA.RESULTS: Intraperitoneal administration of LPS induced periods of biphasic fever accompanied by hyperalgesia.AVP reversed LPS-induced fever, and decreased the hyperalgesia and BAT thermogenesis.Peripheral administration of V1a antagonist enhanced the fever produced by LPS, but did not affect the hyperalgesia.AVP significantly attenuated LPS-induced IL-1β and PGE2 production.CONCLUSION: Peripheral administration of AVP reverses LPS-induced fever and decreases hyperalgesia by reduction of BAT thermogenesis and inhibition of IL-1β and PGE2.Endogenous AVP attenuates the fever induced by LPS, but does not affect the nociceptive thresholds.
