Objective:To explore the effect of Cfap65 deficiency on mouse spermatogenesis. Methods:CRISPR/Cas9 technology was utilized to construct Cfap65 deficient mice. PCR and Sanger sequencing were adopted to identify mouse genotypes. Mice were divided into Cfap65-/- group ( n=3) and wild-type (WT) group ( n=3) based on genotypes of mice. Fertility test was applied to evaluate the fertility of mice. Sperm morphology of Cfap65 deficient mice was observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscope. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the expression of Cfap65 mRNA in heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and testis tissues of mice. Results:Cfap65 deficient male mice were completely infertile. Compared with wild-type male mice, Cfap65 deficient mice had fewer and less motile epididymal spermatozoa, whose flagellums tend to be short, curled, bent and even absent, and heads tend to be deformed (1.67%±0.44% vs. 33.00%±1.53%), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Besides, Cfap65 deficiency led to anomalous structure of manchette of mice. Cfap65 was highly expressed in the testes and lung of adult mice, and the expression of Cfap65 in testes embodied a sharp increase trend from mice aged 4 to 6 weeks (901.90±33.19 vs. 2 144.00±22.92), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:The expression of Cfap65 is tissue-specific, and the deletion of Cfap65 leads to spermatogenesis failure in male mice, which might be related to the dysfunction of intra-manchette transport.

Objective To investigate the effect of Zhutan Tongluo Tang on the articular cartilage degeneration in a rat osteoar-thritis model ,and explore the potential mechanism .Methods Thirty-healthy SD rats were equally divided into the normal control group ,the model control group and Zhutan Tongluo Tang group .Rats were induced osteoarthritis models with 4% mass fraction of papain .After replication of osteoarthritis models ,Zhutan Tongluo Tang group were given Zhutan Tongluo Tang with 2 mL/(kg · d) ,the model control group were given lavage with normal saline ,the normal control group with rovtine feeding .After treat-ments for 3 months ,the cartilage morphology were observed using HE stains ,and the expression of IL-1β,TNF-α and MMP-3 in synovial fluid were measured by ELISA .Results The degeneration of cartilage in Zhutan Tongluo Tang group was better than the model control group .Compared with the model control group ,the expression levels of IL-1β (12 .13 pg/mL vs .16 .62 pg/mL ) , TNF-α (13 .76 pg/mL vs .18 .26 pg/mL) and MMP-3 (14 .21 ng/mL vs .21 .57 ng/mL) in synovial fluid were significantly de-creased in Zhutan Tongluo Tang group(P<0 .05) .Conclusion Zhutan Tongluo Tang has the function of treating delaying osteoar-thritis cartilage degeneration and decreasing inflammation ,whose mechanism is related to inhibiting the expression of inflammatory cytokines .
