Objective To conduct the reductive reservation for torsional ovary in different states(.un-necrotic ovary,suspected necrotic torsional ovary and torsional necrotic ovary)after the ovarian torsion in pre-maturity SD rat,and to investigate its effect on the ovarian reproductive function in maturity stage.Methods A total of 32 SD rats with 3 weeks old were selected and randomly divided into 4 groups,8 cases in each group.The animal model of ovarian torsion was made by using the Turner method,which was similar to the animal model of testicular torsion,and either group was selected to undergo the sham operation as the con-trol group(CG group).The non-necrotic torsional ovary detorsion group(NNTOD group),suspected necrotic torsional ovary detorsion group(SNTOD group)and necrotic torsional ovary detorsion group(NTOD group)were established respectively.When the animals were fed to sexual maturity at 8 weeks of age,the experimen-tal animals were sacrificed by vertebral dislocation method,and the ovary tissues on the torsional side were cut for HE staining and transmission electron microscopy to examine the changes of ovarian histomorphology and mitochondrial structure.Ovarian cell apoptosis was detected by Tunel assay.ELISA method was used to de-tect the follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH)and anti-mullerian duct hormone(AMH)levels in centrifugal blood.Results The ovarian structure in the CG group and NNTOD group was clear,the ovarian follicles at different levels were developed well;the electron microscopy showed normal mi-tochondria.The ovarian partial structure in the SNTOD group was disorganized,the number of follicles at all levels of growth was decreased;electron microscopic examination showed a little damage of mitochondria.In the NTOD group,the arrangement of ovarian structure was obviously disordered,the number of growing folli-cles at all levels was significantly reduced;the electron microscopy showed that most of the mitochondria were obviously swollen and severely damaged.Compared with the CG group,the apoptosis rate in the SNTOD group and NTOD group was significantly increased(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant differ-ence between CG group and NNTOD group(P＞0.05).Compared with the NTOD group,the apoptosis rate in the SNTOD group was decreased(P＜0.05).Compared with the CG group,the levels of LH and FSH in the SNTOD and NTOD groups were increased,and the AMH level was decreased(P＜0.05).The LH and FSH levels in the SNTOD group were lower than those in the NTOD group,the AMH level was higher than that in the NTOD group(P＜0.05).Conclusion After reduction of the torsional suspected necrotic ovary in the prematurity rat,the ovarian reproductive function in the torsional side during sexual maturity period is slightly injured;while after reduction of torsional necrotic ovary restoration,its reproductive function is appar-ently damaged.

Baylisascaris schroederi,a roundworm(ascaridoid)parasite specific to the bamboo-feeding giant panda(Ailuropoda melanoleuca),represents a leading cause of mortality in wild giant panda populations.Here,we present a 293-megabase chromosome-level genome assembly of B.schroederi to infer its biology,including host adaptations.Comparative genomics revealed an evolutionary trajectory accompanied by host-shift events in ascaridoid parasite lineages after host separations,suggesting their potential for transmission and rapid adaptation to new hosts.Genomic and anatomical lines of evidence,including expansion and positive selection of genes related to the cuticle and basal metabolisms,indicate that B.schroederi undergoes specific adaptations to survive in the sharp-edged bamboo-enriched gut of giant pandas by structurally increasing its cuticle thickness and efficiently utilizing host nutrients through gut parasitism.Additionally,we characterized the secretome of B.schroederi and predicted potential drug and vaccine targets for new control strategies.Overall,this genome resource provides new insights into the host adaptation of B.schroederi to the giant panda as well as the host-shift events in ascaridoid parasite lineages.Our findings on the unique biology of B.schroederi will also aid in the development of prevention and treatment measures to protect giant panda populations from roundworm parasitism.

Objective To understand the pathogens distribution situation in children with acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) in Bozhou area.Methods A total of 2 846 children with ARTI in our hospital from April 2015 to March 2016 were enrolled to investigate the pathogens distribution.The indirect immunofluorescence assay was performed to detect adenovirus,influenza virus A,influenza virus B,respiratory syncytial virus,parainfluenza virus,mycoplasma pneumoniae,chlamydophila pneumoniae and legionella pneumophila in peripheral blood samples.Results Of all 2 846 cases,1 161 (40.8％) cases were the pathogen detection positive.Among them,the top 3 viruses of highest detection rates were mycoplasma pneumoniae(470,16.5 ％),influenza virus A (252,8.9％) and respiratory syncytial virus (117,4.1％),and 79(2.8％) cases were mixed infection.With age increase,the pathogen detection rate showed the declining trend(x2 =20.724,P=0.000 1).The infections in infants and young children were dominated by respiratory syncytial virus(11.2 ％),which in preschool and school children was dominated by mycoplasma pneumoniae(15.2 ％-25.4 ％).The pathogen detection rate was highest in winter (57.7 ％),and lowest in summer (22.5 ％).Conclusion The prevalence distribution of ARTI pathogens varies with age and seasons.The infection rate in infants and young children is higher than that in other age groups.Mycoplasma pneumoniae,influenza virus A and respiratory syncytial virus are the main pathogens causing ARTI in children of Bozhou area,winter and summer have ARTI high onset,it is notable to strengthen the prevention of infection.

AIM:To investigate the expression of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-2 (PARP-2) during rat car-diac hypertrophy in vitro and in vivo, and to explore the effects of PARP-2 on the cardiac hypertrophy.METHODS:Ab-dominal aortic coarctation ( AAC) was performed to establish a model of pressure overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy in SD rats.The expression of PARP-2 at mRNA and protein levels in the myocardium was determined by real-time PCR and Western blot.The hypertrophy model of the cardiomyocytes was induced by treating the cells with angiotensinⅡ( AngⅡ) . PARP-2 was knocked down by siRNAs in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes and the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was evaluated by measuring the mRNA levels of ANF, BNP, and β-MHC and the cellular surface area.RESULTS: The expression of PARP-2 at mRNA and protein levels was both increased in the AAC rats as compared with those in the sham animals.The expression of PARP-2 at mRNA and protein levels was also increased in a time-and concentration-dependent manner in AngⅡ-induced hypertrophy model of the cardiomyocytes.In the neonatal rat cardiomyocytes, knockdown of PARP-2 ex-pression by siRNA attenuated AngⅡ-induced cardiac hypertrophy of the cardiomyocytes, indicating that endogenous PARP-2 played a positive regulatory role in cardiac hypertrophy.CONCLUSION:The mRNA and protein levels of PARP-2 in-crease in the in vitro and in vivo models of cardiac hypertrophy.Knockdown of PARP-2 protects cardiomyocytes from hyper-trophy.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of posterior short-segment pedicle screw reduction and fixation without fusion in treatment of thoracolumbar mono-segmental compression fractures.Methods Thirty cases of thoracolumbar mono-segmental compression fractures admitted from January 2009 to February 2010 were assigned to single posterior pedicle screw fixation (screw group,n =15) and posterior pedicle screw fixation with posterolateral fusion (fusion group,n =15) according to random number table.Clinical results in the two groups were assessed based on Cobb' s angle,anterior vertebral body height ratio (％) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) before operation,after operation,prior to the removal of implant and at the latest follow-up.Results All the cases were followed up for average 24 months.Both operation time and blood loss were less in screw group than in fusion group [(76.58 ±12.67) min vs (116.29 ± 17.45) min,P ＜ 0.01 ; (287.54 ± 30.76) ml vs (480.34 ± 100.54) ml,P ＜0.01],whereas there were no statistical differences between the two groups in aspects of Cobb' s angle and anterior vertebral body height ratio before and after operation,prior to the removal of implant as well as at the latest follow-up.Moreover,no statistical difference of ODI was noted between the two groups prior to the removal of implant and at the latest follow-up.Conclusion Posterior pedicle screw fixation without bone grafting achieves similar effects with pedicle screw fixation with bone grafting.
