ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of remifentanil （RMZL） in alleviating lung ischemia-reperfusion injury （LIRI） in rats by inhibiting pyroptosis through modulating hypoxia inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α）/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3） pathway. MethodsRats were stochastically assigned into Control group， LIRI group， RMZL low-dose group， RMZL medium-dose group， RMZL high-dose group， and RMZL high-dose+HIF-1α activator dimethyloxallyl glycine （DMOG） group， with 18 rats in each group. Rats in Control group only had their left pulmonary hilum free and did not undergo ischemia-reperfusion treatment. Except for the Control group， LIRI models were constructed in all other groups. Rats in LIRI group were intraperitoneally injected with an equal amount of physiological saline 15 minutes before constructing LIRI model； rats in Control group were intraperitoneally injected with an equal amount of physiological saline 15 minutes before freeing left pulmonary hilum； rats in other groups were intraperitoneally injected with corresponding dose of drug 15 minutes before constructing LIRI model. The wet/dry weight ratio of lungs was calculated. HE staining was used to study lung tissue pathology. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the relative fluorescence intensity of gasdermin D （GSDMD） and NLRP3 double positive cells in lung tissue. ELISA was used to detect interleukin-1β and IL-18 in lung tissue. Western blot was used to detect HIF-1α， NLRP3， cysteine-aspartic protease-1 （Cleaved caspase-1）， and gasdermin D-N （GSDMD-N） proteins in lung tissue. ResultsCompared to the Control group， the LIRI group showed disordered alveolar structure， thickened alveolar septa， and abundant inflammatory cell infiltration in rats. The lung wet/dry weight ratio， relative fluorescence intensity of GSDMD and NLRP3 double positive cells in lung tissue， IL-1β， IL-18 levels， and HIF-1α， NLRP3， Cleaved caspase-1， and GSDMD-N proteins increased （P0.05）. For the LIRI group， rats in the RMZL low， medium， and high-dose groups displayed attenuated alveolar septal thickening and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration. The lung wet/dry weight ratio， relative fluorescence intensity of GSDMD and NLRP3 double positive cells in lung tissue， IL-1β， IL-18 levels， and HIF-1α， NLRP3， Cleaved caspase-1， and GSDMD-N proteins declined， and the RMZL high-dose group showed the most prominent trend （P0.05）. Compared with the RMZL high-dose group， rats in the RMZL high-dose+DMOG group exhibited thickened alveolar septa and more inflammatory cell infiltration， along with increased lung wet/dry weight ratio， relative fluorescence intensity of GSDMD and NLRP3 double positive cells in lung tissue， levels of IL-1β and IL-18， and protein expression of HIF-1α， NLRP3， Cleaved caspase-1， and GSDMD-N （P0.05）. ConclusionRMZL may inhibit pyroptosis in LIRI rats by suppressing HIF-1α/NLRP3 pathway.

ObjectiveTo construct an interleukin-9 （Il9） gene knockout mouse model on a C57BL/6N background， establish a reliable genotyping method， and provide a standardized animal model for investigating Il9-related immune mechanisms and diseases. MethodsIl9 knockout mouse strain （C57BL/6N-Il9^em1Cya） was generated using conventional gene knockout technology. The method for DNA extraction from mouse tails was optimized to ensure template quality. Two sets of specific primers （F1/R1 and F1/R2） were designed to amplify target fragments by PCR， and mouse genotypes were determined by agarose gel electrophoresis. Specifically， primer pair F1/R1 targeted the knockout sequence with an expected product of 465 bp， while F1/R2 targeted the wild-type sequence with an expected product of 703 bp. Subsequently， Western blot was performed to verify the knockout efficiency of Il9 in primary immune cells and key organs of the offspring mice， and flow cytometry was used to assess the effects of Il9 deficiency on the function of the immune system in major immune cell populations. ResultsIl9 knockout mice were successfully bred and genotyped. PCR identification showed that homozygous mice （-/-） exhibited only a 465 bp band， wild-type mice （+/+） displayed only a 703 bp band， and heterozygous mice （+/-） showed both bands simultaneously. Meanwhile， Western blot analysis revealed significantly decreased IL-9 expression in various organs of the offspring mice （P<0.001）. Flow cytometric results demonstrated that Il9 deficiency exerted no obvious effects on the proportions of peripheral blood lymphocytes， splenic lymphocytes， and peritoneal macrophages. ConclusionAn Il9 gene knockout mouse model on a C57BL/6N background is successfully constructed. The established PCR genotyping system is highly efficient and accurate， which can effectively distinguish mice of different genotypes. This model provides a stable and reliable experimental basis for subsequent functional studies of Il9 and exploration of the mechanisms underlying Il9-related diseases.

ObjectiveTo construct a chimeric antigen receptor macrophage （CAR-M） targeting interleukin-13 receptor α （IL-13Rα） and intracellular domain integration， which can double activate the signal adaptor protein OX40L of macrophages and T cells. MethodsThe CAR molecule targeting IL-13Rα （IL-13Rα-OX40L-CAR） with OX40L as the intracellular signal domain was designed and synthesized， and it was cloned into the adenovirus expression vector. After THP-1 cells were induced to differentiate into macrophages （THP-1-M） by phorbol ester， the cells were infected with recombinant adenovirus to construct THP-1 macrophages stably expressing green fluorescent protein （GFP） labeled anti-IL-13RαCAR. The expression efficiency of CAR molecules was monitored by flow cytometry. The empty vector group was used as the negative control， the CD3ζ group was used as the positive control， and the CD3ζ-OX40L group was used as the experimental group. The phagocytic function of macrophages in each group on IL-13Rα high expression glioma cells （U251） and low expression glioma cells （T98G） was detected by in vitro co-culture experiments. ResultsCAR adenovirus was efficiently transfected into THP-1-M to obtain anti-IL-13RαCAR-M. After co-cultured with glioma cells with different expression levels of IL-13Rα， the results of flow cytometry showed that there was no significant difference among the three groups for T98G cells with low expression of IL-13Rα. After co-culture with U251 cells with high expression of IL-13Rα， the CD3ζ group showed enhanced phagocytosis compared with the empty vector group （P<0.05）. Compared with the CD3ζ group， the phagocytosis ability of the CD3ζ-OX40L group was further enhanced （P<0.05）. ConclusionAnti-IL13Rα- OX40L-CAR-M is successfully constructed by constructing IL-13Rα-OX40L-CAR adenovirus and transfecting PMA-induced differentiated THP-1-M. It can engulf glioma cells with high expression of IL-13Rα by specific targeting， and shows activation of intracellular domain superior to traditional CD3ζ.

ObjectiveTo obtain a construct chimeric antigen receptor macrophages （CAR-M） targeting disialoganglioside GD2 （GD2） and harboring the intracellular domain of macrophage-specific activating signaling adaptor protein DNAX-activating protein 12 （DAP12）. MethodsA CAR molecule targeting GD2 with the DAP12 intracellular domain as the signaling module ［Anti-GD2 CAR （DAP12）］ was designed， synthesized， and cloned into an adenoviral vector. This virus was used to infect PMA-differentiated THP-1 macrophages to construct green fluorescent protein （GFP）-labeled Anti-GD2 CAR THP-1 cells. CAR expression was confirmed using live-cell imaging. In vitro co-culture assays were performed to evaluate the phagocytic function of empty， Anti-GD2 CAR-M （CD3ζ）， and Anti-GD2 CAR-M （DAP12） groups against glioma cells with high （T98G） and low （U251） GD2 expression. ResultsThe CAR adenovirus efficiently transduced THP-1 macrophages， resulting in successful generation of Anti-GD2 CAR-M. Flow cytometry analysis following co-culture with glioma cells showed that compared to the empty group， the Anti-GD2 CAR-M （CD3ζ） group exhibited significantly enhanced phagocytosis （P<0.05）. Furthermore， compared to the Anti-GD2 CAR-M （CD3ζ） group， the Anti-GD2 CAR-M （DAP12） group demonstrated a further increase in phagocytic capacity specifically against GD2-high T98G cells （P<0.05）. ConclusionAnti-GD2 CAR-M （DAP12） cells are successfully established by transducing PMA-differentiated THP-1-M with recombinant Anti-GD2 CAR （DAP12） adenovirus. The engineered CAR-M can specifically target phagocytose glioma cells with high GD2 expression.

ObjectiveTo obtain stably transfected chimeric antigen receptor macrophages （CAR-M） targeting disialosylganglioside （GD2） based on the constitutive expression of myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MYD88）. MethodsAn Anti-GD2 CAR adenoviral vector incorporating the CD3ζ （cluster of differentiation 3 zeta chain）-MYD88 fusion construct was designed and constructed. THP-1-derived macrophages （THP-1M）， induced by phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate （PMA） differentiation， were infected with this adenovirus to generate Anti-GD2 CAR THP-1 cells bearing a green fluorescent protein （GFP） tag. CAR expression was monitored using a live-cell imaging system. The phagocytic function of Empty CAR-M， Anti-GD2 CAR-M（CD3ζ）， and Anti-GD2 CAR-M（CD3ζ-MYD88） groups against glioma cells was evaluated in vitro through co-culture experiments， and their polarization status was also analyzed. ResultsCAR adenovirus successfully transfected THP-1 to obtain Anti-GD2 CAR-M. After co-culture with glioma cells， flow cytometry results showed that compared with the Empty CAR-M group and the Anti-GD2 CAR-M（CD3ζ） group， the Anti-GD2 CAR-M（CD3ζ-MYD88） group exhibited enhanced phagocytosis against T98G cells with high GD2 expression （P<0.05） and also showed upregulation of CD86 （P<0.05）. Compared with the Empty CAR-M group and the Anti-GD2 CAR-M（CD3ζ） group， the Anti-GD2 CAR-M（CD3ζ-MYD88）CAR-M group exhibited enhanced phagocytosis against T98G cells with high GD2 expression （P<0.05） and also showed upregulation of CD86 （P<0.05）， and the expression of inflammatory cytokines interleukin （IL）-6 and IL-12 was increased in this group （P<0.05）. ConclusionThis study successfully constructed Anti-GD2 CAR-M cells and verified their phagocytic activity， demonstrating that constitutive expression of MYD88 can promote inflammatory polarization of CAR-M. This provides a potential structural modification approach for the development of pro-inflammatory CAR-M.

Objective: To constructCSF1R+/-mice and to analyze their genotypes, so as to provide animal model basis for disease pathological mechanism and drug target. Methods : A linearized targeting vector was designed according to Cre/Loxp system. A Loxp site was inserted upstream of the 5th exon of theCSF1Rgene, and a neomycin resistance box with Loxp sites on both sides was inserted downstream of the 5th exon. The linearized targeting vector was electroporated into embryonic stem cells. The correctly targeted embryonic stem cells were injected into the blastocysts of C57BL/6J mice to obtain chimeric mice, which were bred with Zp3-Cre mice. The newborn mice were numbered 9-14 days after birth and their tails were cut. The DNA of the mice was extracted, and the genotype of the mice was identified by polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis. The expression of CSF1R in mouse macrophages was detected by flow cytometry. The expression of CSF1R in mouse tissues was detected by Western blot. Results: The results of agarose gel electrophoresis showed that 453 bp bands were amplified in wild type mice, and 453 bp and 650 bp bands were amplified in heterozygous mice. The results of flow cytometry showed that the expression of CSF1R in peritoneal macrophages and bone marrow-derived macrophages of CSF1R heterozygous mice was lower than that of WT group(P<0.05). The results of Western blot showed that the expression of CSF1R in spleen, kidney and brain tissue of CSF1R heterozygous group was lower than that of WT group(P<0.05). Conclusion CSF1R+/-mice are successfully constructed, reproduced and identified, which provides an animal model basis for further revealing the potential mechanism of CSF1R in immune regulation.

Objective : To construct triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2(TREM2) gene knockout(TREM2-/-) mice using CRISPR/Cas9 technology, to breed TREM2-/- mice and to analyze the genotype of TREM2-/- mice. Methods : CRISPR/Cas9 technology was used to selectively knock out exon 2-3 regions of TREM2 gene to construct a TREM2-/- mouse model, and the genetic background of all mice was C57BL/6J.

The results of agarose gel electrophoresis showed that the mouse genotype with only 415 bp band amplified was wild type(WT), the mouse genotype of the 449 bp band amplified only was TREM2-/-, and the mouse genotypes amplified with 415 bp and 449 bp double bands were heterozygous. qPCR results showed that compared with WT mice, the mRNA expression of TREM2 in heart and brain tissues of TREM2-/- mice was down-regulated(P-/- mice was reduced(P-/- mice. Conclusion TREM2-/- mice are successfully constructed and bred, a reliable genotype identification method is established, the genetic stability of the mouse model is verified, which will provide an important genetic animal model for the study of TREM2 gene function.

Background A large number of power supply workers are involved in live working and are exposed to multiple risk factors for long periods of time during outdoor work, which in turn causes occupational health problems. Objective To identify potential ergonomic factors related to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and estimate the ergonomic risk of electricians. Methods A total of 31 workers were randomly selected from a training base under a power supply enterprise in Guangxi, and their operation processes were recorded by video. Using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method, the workers were scored by the posture of their arms, neck, and torso during operation, and the final scores were summarized to assess their risk level. Two independent samples t-tests were used to compare the differences in RULA scores. Results A total of 31 videos for mounting/dismounting insulation mask and 29 videos for breaking/connecting contact terminal were collected. The RULA score for mounting/dismounting insulation mask was 6.6 ± 0.7 (left side) and 7.0 ± 0.2 (right side), most of the workers had a score of 7 (71.0% on the left side and 96.8% on the right side), and the upper limb and overall scores on the right side were higher than those on the left side (P < 0.05). The RULA score for breaking/connecting contact terminal was 6.9 ± 0.4 (both right and left sides), most of workers had a score of 7 (89.7% on the left side and 93.1% on the right side), and the difference of the overall scores between the right and left side for this operation were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The ergonomic risk levels for both operations were level 3 or higher. Conclusion Mounting/dismounting insulation mask and breaking/connecting contact terminal are typical upper limb operations, and have a high level of ergonomics risk, requiring effective preventive and protective measures.
