Based on the previous transcriptomic experimental data of Trichinella spiralis(T.spira-lis)in this study,the larval stage specific gene TP12446 was screened and its identity in the ubiq-uitin ligase RNF family was predicted.In the study,bioinformatics methods were used to analyze its physicochemical properties and its activity to lay the foundation for further exploring the func-tion of TP12446 gene.The physicochemical properties and protein structure of TP12446 protein were predicted by bioinformatics.Its ubiquitin ligase activity was also verified by ubiquitination re-actions in vitro.The expression characteristics of TP12446 protein in different stage of T.spiralis infection were analyzed by qPCR and Western blot.Bioinformatics analysis showed that TP12446 protein was composed of 453 amino acids and its molecular weight was 51.48 kDa.The protein had a transmembrane structure and contained signal peptides.The results indicated that it was a secre-tory protein and mainly located in the cytoplasmic membrane.The protein structure analysis re-vealed that the protein contained RING and PA domain,its secondary structure was mainly com-posed of α-helix and irregular crimp and there were 10 B cell epitopes on TP12446 protein.The prediction of glycosylation and phosphorylation sites indicated that TP12446 protein contained 38 potential phosphorylation sites.Results of PPI interaction protein prediction showed that TP12446 protein had strong interaction with Usp8,Tmem37,Otub1,Otub2,Ubox5 and CD151.The results of qPCR and Western blot showed that TP12446 gene expression was the highest in the larva stage of T.spiralis,the activity of ubiquitin ligase was verified by ubiquitination reaction in vitro.TP12446 protein was a secretory hydrophobic protein with E3 ubiquitin ligase activity,which was involved in regulating cell cycle and apoptosis.

This study aims to investigate the characteristics of chitosan-loaded miR-146a nanoparti-cles and explore their protective effect against acute liver cell injury induced by LPS in vitro.Galac-tosylated arginine chitosan(GCA)nanoparticles were successfully synthesized,prepared and used to further prepare GCA-miR-146a nanoparticles with different mass ratios by ion cross-linking method.The binding efficiency of miR-146a by GCA nanoparticles was detected by gel retardation experiment.Particle size,morphology and potential were observed and detected by transmission e-lectron microscopy and Zetasizer NanoZS90 respectively.The cytotoxicity of GCA nanoparticles on HepG2 cells was detected by CCK-8 kit.Cellular uptake was assayed by fluorescence microscopy to select the optimum ratio for the further study.The LPS induced acute liver cell injury were evalua-ted by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.The results showed that the mass ratio of GCA-miR-146a was 5∶1.Encapsulation efficiency and drug loading efficiency of the nanoparticles reached 97.11%and 20.08%,respectively.The 100 nm nanoparticles with 1.15 mV surface charge showed uniform morphology.The GCA-miR-146a nanoparticles had no cytotoxicity and had high transfection efficiency on HepG2 cells.The study demonstrated that GCA-miR-146 ananoparticles could significantly increase the expression of miR-146a in HepG2 cells and reduce the mRNA ex-pression levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in vitro.The prepared GCA nanoparticles loaded with miR-146a had high loading efficiency and could protect LPS-induced acute liver cell injury in vitro.

Objective To investigate characteristics of eating behavior change in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods The grounded theory methodology was used.Nineteen patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were interviewed.Then the records were transcribed and analyzed with open coding,axial coding and selective coding according to the grounded theory put forward by Strass and Corbin,to identify the categories and core category.Results The characteristics of eating behavior change in patients with type 2 diabetes included:searching information for diabetes diet,four types of diabetes diet,finding pleasure in a diabetes diet.Conclusion Patients with diabetes should pay attention to the source of dietary information and should not blindly try;patients who obtained the diet information had a choice between diet control and abandonment;the ability to enjoy a free diet in a diabetic diet will help improve patients' compliance with the diet.Medical staff should understand the characteristics of eating behavior change to promote early identification of behavior and the correct guidance for patients with diabetes.
