Porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus(PHEV)is one of the coronaviruses susceptible to swine populations.The non-structural protein 2(NS2)encoded by its genome is fre-quently deleted during the epidemic transmission of the virus,but its biological significance re-mains unclear.In order to explore the structure and function of the NS2 protein,this study utilized platforms such as ProtParam,TMHMM,NetPhos3.1,and ExPASy to analyze its physicochemical properties,spatial structure,genetic evolution,and post-translational modification characteristics.Meanwhile,the NS2 protein was expressed in eukaryotes and transcriptome sequencing was per-formed to clarify the biological processes it participates in.The results showed that the NS2 protein consists of 233 amino acids,with a molecular weight of 26.735 kDa,and a half-life of approximately 30 hours in mammals.It includes 13 phosphorylation sites,2 N-glycosylation sites,and 1 O-glyco-sylation site,with no signal peptide and strong hydrophilicity.The a-helix accounts for the highest proportion in NS2(43.78％),followed by random coils(36.05％).The homology of the NS2 pro-tein between the epidemic strains PHEV-CC14 and PHEV-JL/2008 in Northeast China is 99.57％.The NS2 protein is widely involved in the regulation of nerve-related functions,such as axon guid-ance and synaptic development.This study preliminarily clarified the biological function of the NS2 protein,providing a new perspective for understanding the pathogenic mechanism of PHEV.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between bedtime procrastination and daytime sleepiness in college students,and to explore the mediating effect of sleep quality and the moderating effect of gender in the a-bove-mentioned relationship.Methods:A total of 2 823 college students(808 males,2 015 females)from two uni-versities were selected.They were assessed with the Bedtime Procrastination Scale(BPS),Epworth Sleeping Scale(ESS,ESS score≥11 indicated daytime sleepiness)and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI).Process model 4 was used to test the mediating effect of sleep quality and model 14 was used to test the moderating effect of gender.Results:There were 1 214(43.0％)college students suffering from daytime sleepiness.The scores of ESS in college students were positively associated with the BPS scores(β=0.16).The total scores of PSQI partially mediated the effect of BPS scores on college students'ESS scores,and the value of mediating effect was 39.9％.The association between PSQI scores and ESS scores was moderated by gender(β=-0.13).Conclusion:Daytime sleepiness is associated with bedtime procrastination and sleep quality in college students,and the association be-tween sleep quality and daytime sleepiness is moderated by gender.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical effect of combination of autologous tissue reconstruction of tarsal plate with temporal flap on repair of full-thickness lower eyelid defect.Methods:Eleven patients (11 eyes) underwent hard palate mucosa or ear cartilage combined the emporal flap with the orbicularis oculi muscle to repair full-thickness defect ofpalpebra inferior.Of the 11 patients,6 had more than 75％ eyelid defect area,and 5 had more than 50％ eyelid defect area.Results:All 11 eyes closed completely,with no entropion or ectropion,and returned to normal basically.Postoperative follow-up was performed for 6 months to 5 years,3 years and 4 months on average.The function and form of eyelid remained stable.Infection,leakage or contracture was not found on reconstruction tarsus.Conclusion:Reconstruction of eyelid with autogenous hard palate mucosa or ear cartilage combined the emporal flap with the orbicularis oculi muscle is a simple,convenient and effective method.

Objective:To explore effects of trehalose as a cryopreserve agent on survival rate of fatty tissue after cryopreservation.Methods:The liposuction was used on the abdomen of adult female.After centrifugation and purification,adipose was randomized into the following three groups,the trehalose group,the fetal bovine serum (FBS)+ 10％DMSO group and the physiological saline group.The specimens were cryopreserved at-196 ℃ for 3 months and then the HE staining,glucose transfer method and CK method were used to detect the cell survival rate in each group.Results:The activity of adipose in the trehalose group and FBS+10％DMSO group adipose was higher than that in the physiological saline group (P＜0.05);while there was no significant difference between the trehalose group and FBS+10％DMSO group (P＞0.05).Conclusion:As cryoprotectant,trehalose could keep fat cell viability,and adipose tissue can be used for clinical transplantation after 3 months' freezing.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of CD34-positive and CD34-negative adult patients with acute T-lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL),and to explore the value of CD34 expression for prognosis of patients with T-ALL.Methods 75 adult patients diagnosed with T-ALL from January 2012 to July 2015 in the Department of Hematology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,were analyzed retrospectively.According to the expression of CD34,the patients were divided into CD34-positive group and CD34-negative group,and then the clinical characteristics and prognosis of both groups were analyzed.Results In 75 patients,CD34-positive group had 24 (32.0 ％) patients and CD34-negative group had 51 (68.0 ％) patients.Between the two groups,there was no significant difference in these factors,such as sex,age,infiltration of liver,spleen and lymph nodes,thrombocytopenia,high white blood cell count,abnormal karyotype,complete remission within 4 weeks and central nervous system leukemia (CNSL).The proportions of patients with hemoglobin (Hb) ＜ 90 g/L and expression of myeloid lineage marker were higher in the CD34-positive group than those in the CD34-negative group (x2 =5.888,P=0.015;x2 =10.758,P =0.001,respectively).There were only 18 patients treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT),57 patients were not.In patients without HSCT,the median survival time in the CD34-positive group and CD34-negative group was significant different (5 months vs.32 months,x2 =9.172,P =0.002).Conclusions CD34 expression in adult patients with T-ALL appears to be associated with Hb ＜ 90 g/L and the expression of myeloid lineage markers.For the patients without HSCT,CD34 is likely negatively related with the prognosis.

Objective To study the radiosensitizing effect of 2'-hydroxyflavanone (2'-HF) on prostate cancer cells,and to preliminarily investigate its mechanism.Methods Colony formation assay,tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) oxidative stress assay,Hoechst staining,and apoptosis flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide (PI) were performed to measure the impact of 2'-HF on the radiosensitivity of VCaP prostate cancer cells.Western blot was used to determine the effects of 2'-HF on expression of AKT,phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT),and aldo-keto reductase 1 C3 (AKR1 C3) in VCaP cells and preliminarily investigate the mechanism.Data were analyzed by t test and factorial analysis of variance.Results The results of colony formation assay indicated that after exposure to radiation,VCaP cells treated with 2'-HF had a significantly lower proliferation level than cells in the control group (P=0.010),yielding a sensitization enhancement ratio of 1.19.The resuhs of TBHP oxidative stress assay suggested that VCaP cells treated with 2'-HF had significantly weaker anti-oxidative capacity than cells in the control group (P=0.015).Hoechst staining and apoptosis flow cytometry with Annexin V-FITC and PI indicated that 2'-HF treatment plus irradiation significantly enhanced apoptosis in VCaP cells (P=0.001.The results of Western blot suggested that 2'-HF treatment significantly inhibited the protein expression of p-AKT and AKR1C3 in VCaP cells (P=0.013 and P=0.016).Conclusions 2'-HF can enhance the radiosensitivity of prostate cancer cells,which is probably associated with its inhibitory effects on AKT pathway and AKR1C3 expression in prostate cancer cells.

Objective To investigate the androgen-like effects of Cordyceps sinensis (CS) and its impact on the radiosensitivity of VCaP prostate cancer cells.Methods The hormone levels and weight index of reproductive organs in mice were determined after gavage with CS.Clonogenic assay was performed to determine the impact of CS on the radiosensitivity of VCaP cells.The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5 (3-carboxymethonyphenol)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium assay,flow cytometry,and tumor xenografts in nude mice were performed to determine the effects of CS on the proliferation of VCaP cells (androgen receptor-positive) and PC-3 cells (androgen receptor-negative) in vitro and in vivo.Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in nude mice were evaluated.Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance or ttest.Results The testosterone level and weight of prostate in mice were significantly higher in the CS group than in the control group ((8.28± 1.94) vs.(2.08± 1.24) ng/ml,P=0.023;(0.53±0.04) vs.(0.31 ± 0.04) mg/g,P =0.006).The radiosensitivity enhancement ratio (ratio of D0 values) was 0.80.The viability of VCaP cells was significantly higher in the CS group than in the control group (1.32 ± 0.07 vs.0.66 ±0.02,P=0.000),and colony forming efficiency was significantly enhanced in the CS group than in the control group (57.0％ ± 1.9％ vs.47.0％ ± 0.6％,P =0.005).VCaP tumor xenografts in nude mice were inclined to grow faster in the CS group than in the control group,and the serum PSA level in the CS group was significantly higher than that in the control group ((0.66 ± 0.04) vs.(0.26 ±0.06) ng/ml,P =0.000).However,CS had no effect on PC-3 cells at the working concentration.Conclusions CS has the androgen-like effects.It may also promote the proliferation and reduce the radiosensitivity of androgen receptor-positive VCaP cells.

ObjectiveTo identify the anatomical feasibility of cross screw fixation in the atlas via posterior arch,provide a reference for clinical applications.MethodsA total of 10 dry atlas specimens were used to measure anatomic data and three dimension(3D) CT data.The data included height of the posterior tubercle,width of the posterior arch,distance from the ideal point to the interior of the vertebral artery sulcus,from nail point to central line,and the ideal direction of the screws.Statistical analysis was done to compare the two methods.Then 100 3D CT data were measured.The parameters included height of the posterior tubercle (mid-sagittal plane),width of the posterior arch (the inner side where arch transformed to the vertebral artery sulcus),distance from the ideal point to the interior of the vertebral artery sulcus (where screws completely located in the medullary cavity),distance between the nail point to central line,and angle of the ideal screws (between screws and horizontal line).The anatomy of the atlas was analyzed for whether height of the posterior tubercle is more than 7 mm,width of the posterior arch is more than 3.5 mm,and whether or not cross screws can be planted.ResultsThere was no statistical difference between anatomic and 3D-CT measures.Thickness of the C1 laminar was (4.7±0.9) mm in the left side,(4.6±0.8) mm in the right side,and 93.5％ of specimens were thicker than 3.5 mm.Distance of the ideal screw was(15.9±3.0) mm in the left side,(15.9±3.0) mm in the right side.Height of the C1 posterior tuber was (7.8±1.2) mm,with 91％ of the data higher than 7.0 mm.Angle between the axial of C1 laminar and frontal plane was 26.8°±6.8° (8°-44°) in the left side,26.8°±6.3°(13°-44°) in the right side,and about 11％ of them can not cross plant.ConclusionIt is feasible and safe to place cross screws in the posterior arch of the C1 in anatomy.

Objective To discuss the complication risk factors for early death after cervical injuries and explore the indication for treatment. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on early death and complications in 419 patients with cervical injuries admitted into our hospital. We observed the relationship of all kinds of complications with cervical cord injury severity and the incidence rate of complications in all patients. Results The respiratory complication was the main cause of early death, accounting for 79.11%. There found complications including hypoalbuminemia ( 85.29% ), hypotension(50%) and hyponatremia ( 35.29% ) in the death patients. Conclusions The existence of complications, especially hypoalbuminemia, can aggravate the original dysfunction and is the risk factor for early death. The early treatment of the dangerous complications could prevent multiple organ failure and early death and provide sound condition for functional recovery.
