Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of high-fat diet(HFD)-induced obesity on male ze-brafish reproductive function.Methods Adult male zebrafish were divided into normal diet(ND)group and HFD group.Growth and metabolic conditions were evaluated by measuring body weight,body length,BMI,organ index,and glucose/lipid lev-els.Reproductive capacity was assessed via sperm concentration,motility,fertilization rate,and testosterone levels.Testicular tissues from both of groups were subjected to transeriptomic sequencing(RNA-seq).And qRT-PCR was used to validate the expression of genes.Results Compared to male zebrafish in ND group,the ones in HFD group exhibited hepatic steatosis and glucose/lipid meta-bolic disorders(P＜0.05).Testicular structural disorganization,along with reduced testosterone levels,decreased gonadosomatic in-dex,and impaired sperm concentration and motility occurred in HFD group(P＜0.05).GO analysis revealed that differentially ex-pressed genes were enriched in spermatogenesis and ciliary system,while KEGG analysis highlighted metabolic related pathways(pu-rine metabolism,thyroid hormone synthesis,mTOR signaling)and cell adhesion molecules.Twenty key differentially expressed genes were validated by qRT-PCR,which confirmed the reliability of RNA-Seq results.Conclusion Impairment of reproductive function induced by HFD in zebrafish may be associated with three regulatory mechanisms including ciliary system,metabolic dysregulation,and aberrant cell adhesion molecule signaling.This study provides mechanistic insights and identifies potential therapeutic targets for clinical management of diet-associated infertility.

Objective:To investigate whether systemic immune inflammation index(SII)-C-reactive protein/albumin(CRP/Alb)can predict postoperative survival in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)patients.Methods:A total of 262 patients with NSCLC who underwent surgery in Hebei Provincial People's Hospital from January 2017 to November 2020 were included.SII and CRP/Alb expressions in patients after surgery were analyzed by K-M survival curve analysis,Cox multivariate risk regression analysis and ROC curve analysis.Results:Patients with high SII expression(>961.78)and high CRP/Alb expression(>0.025)had worse outcomes than patients with low SII and CRP/Alb expressions,respectively(P<0.001).SII-CRP/Alb score(P=0.032),age≥60 years(P=0.038)and T stage T2～T3(P<0.001)were significantly associated with shorter overall survival.AUC of SII-CRP/Alb scores were larger than SII and CRP/Alb scores,respectively.Conclusion:SII-CRP/Alb score can effectively evaluate postoperative survival status of patients with NSCLC,and SII-CRP/Alb score are independent predictors of postoperative overall survival in NSCLC patients.

Objective: To find out the source and the epidemic pattern of norovirus outbreak in July, 2016 to June, 2017 in Guangzhou. Methods: The stool samples and clinical information of diarrhea cases were collected by the sentinel hospitals and CDCs; a real-time RT-PCR method was used to detect the norovirus nucleic acids from the samples, the positive ones were amplified and sequenced; the partial sequences of norovirus were aligned by an online BLAST alignment, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed by a neighbor-joining method . Results: A total of 854 cases with infectious diarrhea were reported by Guangzhou diarrhea surveillance network from July, 2016 to June, 2017; the gender ratio (male versus female) was 1∶0.67; 78.33% of the cases were preschool children under the age of 7 years. Totally 220 samples were detected norovirus G II+ (25.76%, including 5 double-positive samples with G I+ ). GII.Pe-GII.4.Sydney_2012 was the prevalent genotype in the second half of 2016 (94.64%), which was replaced by GII.P16-GII.2 in the first half of 2017 (67.65%). Since September 2016, the reported number of norovirus-caused diarrhea epidemic was increased gradually; the peak of epidemic curve emerged in February to March of 2017, and the number started to decrease since April. In May to June there were only 2-3 epidemics reported monthly. All the endemics from September to November 2016 were caused by genotype GII.Pe-GII.4.Sydney_2012; the endemics from December 2016 to April 2017 were mainly caused by genotype GII.P16-GII.2. Some samples from kitchen workers and babysitters were detected GII+ , which was consistent with the result of the cases′ samples. Conclusions It was the first time that the novel GII.P16-GII.2 recombinant strain outbroke occurred in Guangzhou City and homology analysis also suggested that GII.P16-GII.2 was the main source of those epidemics in 2016 -2017 winter and spring season. Furthermore, The kitchen workers and babysitters may have played an important role in the spread of norovirus.
