By targeting the key gene csgD involved in the biofilm formation of Escherichia coli, we employed molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation to screen the active components of Chinese medicine with inhibitory effects on the biofilm formation from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). After the anti-biofilm properties of the active components were validated in vitro, data-independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics was employed to further identify the differential proteins involved in interfering with the biofilm formation of Escherichia coli. The mechanisms of inhibition were explored with consideration to the phenotype. Through virtual screening, we identified four candidate active components, including tannic acid, narirutin, salvianolic acid B, and rosmarinic acid. Among them, tannic acid demonstrated significant inhibitory effect on the biofilm formation of E. coli. The analysis of differential proteins, combined with relevant phenotype validation, suggested that tannic acid primarily affected E. coli by intervening in pilus assembly, succinic acid metabolism, and the quorum sensing system. This study provided a lead compound for the development of new drugs against biofilm-associated infections in the future.

Objective:To explore the mechanisms of regulation of miR-575 on the proliferation and invasion properties of non-small cell lung cancer cell (NSCLC).Methods:Real-time PCR was selected to detect the expression of miR-575 and BLID in differ ent NSCLC cell lines.CCK-8 assay was processed to measure the alternations of A549 cell proliferation at different time points after transfection of miR-575 mimic and miR-575 inhibitor.The invasion ability of A549 cells was evaluated by transwell.The targeting of BLID by miR-575 was predicted by Targetcan software and verified by dual-Luciferase assay.BLID protein expression level was detected by western blot.Results:miR-575 highly expressed in NSCLC cell lines,including A549,SPC-A1,H1299,H1650 (P＜0.001),miR-575 mimic could efficiently elevated the expression ofmiR-575 in A549 cells (P＜0.001),and strengthened the proliferation and invasion ability of NSCLC cells (P＜0.05),while,transfection of miR-575 inhibitor could down-regulate the expression ofmiR-575,and also inhibit the proliferation and invasion ability of NSCLC cells (P＜0.01).Targetscan software predicted that BLID might be the target gene of miR-575,and dual-luciferase assay revealed that miR-575 could obviously decrease the luciferase reaction of wild type BLID 3'UTR (P＜0.01),besides,miR-575 could down-regulate the protein expression ofBLID (P＜0.01).Real-time PCR results showed that NSCLC cell lines had lower level of BLID mRNA expression compared with 16HBE control cells (P＜0.001),and restore of BLID could markedly inhibited cell proliferation and invasion ability (P＜0.05),which could be reversed by miR-575 co-tranfection (P＜0.01).Conclusion:In NSCLC cells,the expression ofmiR-575 could promote cell proliferation and invasion ability by directly regulating downstream target tumor-suppressor gene BLID expression.

Objeetive To explore the situation of rotavirus infection and extraintestinal organe damage in children in Yueqing city.Methods Two hundred and eighty-seven cases with acute rotavirus gastroenteritis in our hospital were analyzed for prospective study from October 2011 to January 2013 by stool tests.Results Rotavirus infection was found to be more common in autumn and winter.There were 223 cases (17.7％) got extraintestinal organe damage,175 cases (60.80％) got myocardial lesion,and 78 cases (27.18％) got respiratory infection.At the same time,there were 51 cases (17.77％) and 21 cases (7.31％) got liver function lesion and convulsion respectively.Among the metabolic acidosis(48 cases),39 cases were combined with myocardial lesion.While non metabolic acidosis were 239 cases (81.25％),and 136 cases were combined with myocardial lesion.Therefore,the myocardial lesion was significant correlation with metabolic acidosis (P ＜ 0.01).Iron deficiency anemia was 123 cases and combined with 15 cases (12.19％) convulsion,while the convulsion prevalence rates of non iron deficiency anemia was 6 cases (3.65 ％).There was a statistically significant difference between the convulsion prevalence rates of iron deficiency anemia and that of non iron deficiency anemia (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Rotavirus diarrhea can lead to extraintestinal organe damage,and the clinical doctors should pay attention to them.
