This experiment was conducted to study the effects of replacing feed protein by Herme-tia illucens larvae meal on immune function,intestinal morphology and microflora of Sichuan white geese.A total of 64 healthy 1-day-old Sichuan white geese were randomly allocated into 4 groups with 4 replicates in each group and 4 geese in each replicate,namely the control group,the 2%HILM,4%HILM and 8%HILM groups fed diets contained 0%,2%,4%and 8%of HILM,re-spectively.The experimental period was 40 days.The results showed that compared with the con-trol group,8%HILM increased the levels of serum IgG1,IgG2a and complement C3,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).4%HILM significantly increased the expression level of CD4(P<0.05),and 8%HILM significantly increased the expression level of IL-10(P<0.05).The ratio of villus length to crypt depth(VH/CD)in the jejunum and ileum in 4%HILM group was significantly increased(P<0.05).The SIgA level of jejunum was significantly increased in all HILM replacement groups(P>0.05).The abundance of Bacteroides in 4%HILM group were extremely significantly increased(P<0.01),and the abundance of Bilophila and Bilophila wadsworthia were significantly decreased in all HILM replacement groups(P<0.05).In conclu-sion,HILM can enhance the immune function of Sichuan white geese,improve the intestinal mor-phology of jejunum and ileum,enhance the local mucosal immunity of jejunum,increase the abun-dance of beneficial bacteria in cecum and decrease the abundance of harmful bacteria in cecum,and protect intestinal health.

To explore the effect of Macleaya cordata extract(MCE)on growth performance and serum biochemistry of Sichuan White Geese,and to analyze its mechanism of action by network pharmacology and molecular docking technology combined with animal experiments verification.A total of 90 1-day-old healthy goslings were randomly divided into 5 groups with 18 goslings per group after 5 d of adaptive feeding.The control group(CON)was fed with basal diet,the antibiotic group(CTC)was supplemented with 450 mg/kg chlortetracycline premix,and the low MCE group(MCEL),medium MCE group(MCEM)and high MCE group(MCEH)were supple-mented with 200,300 and 400 mg/kg MCE,respectively.The experimental period was 21 d.On the basis of the above experiments,Network pharmacology and molecular docking technology were used to predict the core targets and signaling pathways of MCE to promote geese growth from the levels of antioxidant,immune and apoptosis,and the expression levels of the core target genes were detected by Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The results showed that compared with the CON group,MCE supplementation could increase the average daily weight gain,decrease the ratio of feed to gain,significantly increase the contents of serum GH,T3,T4,TP and ALB(P<0.05),and significantly decrease the contents of serum AST and TG(P<0.05).Network pharmacology analysis predicted 2 active ingredient and 237 active ingredient targets,and concluded that the mechanism of MCE promoting the growth of Sichuan White Geese may be related to the role of 5 key targets such as SRC,HSP90AA1,CASP3,ESR1 and MAPK14,and the action of MAPK,apop-tosis and other signaling pathways.Molecular docking results showed that the active ingredients of sanguinarine and chelerythrine in MCE could act through MAPK14.The validation results of core targets showed that MCE could significantly reduce the mRNA expression levels of CytC,CASP2,CASP3 and CASP9 in spleen(P<0.05)and significantly increase the mRNA expression levels of Mcl-1(P<0.05).These results indicated that MCE could promote the growth performance of Si-chuan White Geese by regulating apoptosis,promoting the secretion of serum growth-related hor-mones and improving biochemical indicators.

Objective:To explore the application value of urine γ-synuclein (SNCG) in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.Methods:A total of urine samples from 129 patients with bladder cancer (malignant lesion group), 157 patients with urinary system benign lesions (benign lesion group), and 177 healthy people (the healthy control group) from January 2017 to April 2020 in the Fifth Clinical Medical College of Shanxi Medical University and Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital were collected. The concentration of SNCG in the collected urine was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to determine its sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for the diagnosis of bladder cancer.Results:The urine SNCG concentration in malignant lesion group [4.28 ng/ml (0.53-8.79 ng/ml)] was higher than that in healthy controls [1.44 ng/ml (0.56-3.51) ng/ml, H = 122.9, P < 0.01] and benign lesion group [1.97 ng/ml (0.51-5.87) ng/ml, H = 88.2, P < 0.01], and the concentration of urine SNCG in benign lesion group was higher than that in healthy controls ( H = 17.1, P < 0.01). ROC area under the curve (AUC) of urine SNCG in differentiating benign lesion group from healthy controls was 0.871(95% CI 0.819-0.923, P < 0.01), the best cut-off value was 2.79 ng/ml, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity was 0.798 and 0. 977, respectively. AUC of urine SNCG in differentiating malignant lesion group from benign lesion group was 0.823(95% CI 0.769-0.877, P < 0.01), the best cut-off value was 3.54 ng/ml, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity was 0.713 and 0.917, respectively. AUC of urine SNCG in differentiating malignant lesion group from healthy controls plus benign lesion group was 0.848 (95% CI 0.797-0.899, P < 0.01), the best cut-off value was 2.87 ng/ml, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity was 0.791 and 0.901, respectively. Conclusions:The concentration of SNCG in urine of patients with bladder cancer is higher than that of patients with benign urinary lesions and healthy people. Urine SNCG has a good application value in the diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of human papillomavirus (HPV) single and multiple infections in different cervical lesions, and to analyze the distribution of HPV types in patients with single infection and the change of viral load before and after treatment.Methods:A total of 4 783 HPV-DNA-positive cases who were detected by cervical exfoliated cells HPV-DNA testing from May 2017 to March 2019 in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, of which 3 728 cases met the criteria and were included in this study. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to determine HPV genotype and viral load, and liquid-based thin-layer cytology (TCT) test and colposcopic histopathological diagnosis were performed. According to the histopathological results, the patients were divided into chronic cervicitis+cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) Ⅰ group, CIN Ⅱ+CIN Ⅲ group and cervical cancer group.Results:A total of 3 364 cases had HPV single infection, of which chronic cervicitis+CIN Ⅰ accounted for 78.27% (2 633/3 364), CIN Ⅱ+CIN Ⅲ accounted for 18.73% (630/3 364), and cervical cancer accounted for 3.00% (101/3 364); 364 cases had HPV multiple infections, of which chronic cervicitis+CIN Ⅰ accounted for 51.65% (188/364), CIN Ⅱ+CIN Ⅲ accounted for 42.58% (155/364), and cervical cancer accounted for 5.77% (21/364). The difference in the proportion of cervical lesions with different pathological grades in HPV single infection and multiple infections was statistically significant ( χ2 = 127.21, P < 0.01). The top four HPV single infection genotypes in chronic cervicitis+CINⅠ group and CINⅡ+CINⅢ group were type 16, 52, 58 and 53, and their proportions were 17.05% (449/2 633), 12.91% (340/2 633), 9.08% (239/2 633) and 8.89% (234/2 633) in chronic cervicitis+CINⅠ group, and 32.22% (203/630), 10.32% (65/630), 8.41% (53/630) and 5.87% (37/630) in CINⅡ+CINⅢ group. In the cervical cancer group, the top two HPV single infection genotypes were type 16 and 18, and their proportions were 81.19% (82/101) and 6.93% (7/101). The viral load of 120 patients with HPV infection was 4.89±1.14 before treatment and 2.86±1.63 after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 13.260, P < 0.01). Conclusions:HPV multiple infections are more likely to aggravate the degree of cervical lesions than single infection. Common HPV infection subtypes in different cervical lesions include type 16, 52, 58, 53 and 18.
