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.

AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction combined with non-immunosuppressive treatment on patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis due to Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency.METHODS Sixty patients were randomly assigned into control group(30 cases)for 24-week intervention of non-immunosuppressive treatment,and observation group(30 cases)for 24-week intervention of both Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction and non-immunosuppressive treatment.The changes in clinical effects,TCM syndrome effects,TCM syndrome score,24 h UTP,ALB,eGFR,Nephrin,Podocin and safety indices were detected.RESULTS The observation group demonstrated higher total effective rate and TCM syndrome effective rate than the control group(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased TCM syndrome score,24 h UTP,Nephrin,Podocin(P＜0.05),and increased ALB(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).No obvious adverse reactions occured in the two groups.CONCLUSION For the patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis due to Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency,Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction combined with non-immunosuppressive treatment can improve TCM syndromes,whose action mechanism may be contribute to the alleviation of podocyte injury.

Objective To study the correlation of an ultra high performance liquid chromatography(UPLC)fingerprint of Xiaochengqitang pieces(decoction and granules).Methods The UPLC method was used to establish the fingerprint of 15 batches of Xiaochengqitang pieces(decoction and granules).The correlation of the three UPLC fingerprints was evaluated by similarity analysis,pearson correlation analysis,cluster analysis(CA),principal component analysis(PCA)and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA).Results UPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Xiaochengqitang pieces(decoction and granules)determined 16 common peaks,and 14 peaks were identified.The similarity of the fingerprints of the 15 batches of Xiaochengqitang pieces(decoction and granules)with the corresponding control fingerprints was greater than 0.90,and the similarity of the three control fingerprints was greater than 0.88.The results of pearson correlation analysis showed that 8 common peaks in Xiaochengqitang pieces(decoction and granules)had a very significant positive correlation.The results of CA showed that the properties of Xiaochengqitang decoction and granules were more similar.The results of PCA showed that the principal components with 4 eigenvalues greater than 1 contained 88％of the information of the original data.OPLS-DA screened 7 differential markers with variable importance projection value greater than 1.Conclusion The main chemical compositions of Xiaochengqitang pieces(decoction and granules)are consistent,which can provide data support for the quality control and clinical use of Xiaochengqitang compound preparation.

Intramedullary needle(IMN)has the advantages of high healing rate and low incidence of complications in treatment of tibial fracture,and has become one of the most commonly used fixation methods for the treatment of tibial fracture.However,due to the patient's own factors,fracture location and fracture type,infection and surgical treatment,bone nonunion after IMN still occurs in clinic.Bone nonunion leads to the increase of medical cost and prolonged the hospitalization time of patients,which causes great pain to patients,and also brings great challenges to the treatment of orthopedic surgeons.Therefore,this paper reviews the influencing factors of bone nonunion after IMN for tibial fracture,in order to provide reference for clinical treatment.

Objective The objective of this study was to establish a mouse model of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and investigate the role of the NLRP3 signaling pathway in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.Methods Thirty-three female C57 mice(SPF)were randomLy divided into 3 groups:the control group,the experimental group,and the NLRP3-/-group.On days 0,4,7,14,and 21,the experimental group and NLRP3-/-group received a 0.2 mL intraperitoneal injection of medicine containing OVA(100 μg)and adjuvant Al(OH)3(4 mg),respectively.After an interval of 3 days,each eye and nose were dosed with 10 μL of 5%OVA for five consecutive days a week to induce allergic symptoms.During sensitization and excitation stages,the control group was replaced with an equiva-lent amount of PBS.Ocular and nasal symptoms were observed and scored.The levels of OVA-specific IgE,IL-4,IL-17,and IL-18 in serum were measured using ELISA,while changes in palpebral conjunctiva and nasal mucosa were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The expression of NLRP3 mRNA in conjunctival tissue and nasal mucosa was determined using real-time PCR analysis.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS17.0 software with P<0.05 considered as statistically significant difference.Results The experimental group and NLRP3-/-group exhibited induced nasal and ocular allergic symptoms.In the experimental group,the duration of nasal allergy symptoms was(10.500±1.080)days,while the duration of eye allergy symptoms was(20.300±2.058)days.In the NLRP3-/-group,the duration of nasal allergy symptoms was(13.400±1.955)days,and for eye allergy symp-toms it was(20.900±2.132)days.The duration of nasal allergies in the NLRP3-/-group significantly exceeded that in the experimental group(P<0.05),whereas there were no significant differences observed in eye allergy durations between these two groups(P>0.05).Levels of OVA-specific IgE,IL-4,and IL-17 were significantly higher in both the experimental and NLRP3-/-groups compared to those in the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,serum IL-18 content increased significantly in the experimental group when compared with both control and NLRP3-/-groups(P<0.05).Conjunctival tissue lesions as well as nasal mucosa damage were evident in both experimental and NLRP3-/-groups.mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 within conjunctival tissue and nasal mucosa from the experimental group showed a significant increase when compared to those from both control and NLRP3-/-groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis pathogenesis is influenced by various factors;however,the involvement of NLPR3 signaling pathway promotes its development.

Recently,inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS)has shown great potential in the quantitative analysis of biomolecules due to its high sensitivity,high accuracy,anti-interference ability and multi-element detection capability.Elemental tags enable specific labeling of target biomolecules with element-reporter groups,playing a critical role in the performance of bioanalysis using ICP-MS.Antibodies are highly specific to antigens on cell surfaces and are one of the most commonly used targeted delivery vehicles.Traditional random chemical coupling methods are difficult to control the coupling sites and loading numbers of element reporters,which lead to heterogeneity of antibody conjugates,affecting the specific recognition and binding ability of antibodies and antigens,and thus reducing the targeting ability and quantitative accuracy.To solve these issues,site-specific coupling of antibodies with element reporter was studied in this work.By using peptide-mediated affinity labeling technology,a short chain DNA was specifically labeled to immunoglobulin G(IgG)antibody K248,and then DNA base complementary pairing was used to realize accurate assembly of monoclonal antibodies and Eu-modified phage MS2 capsid,resulting in the preparation of highly sensitive and selective element tags.This method overcame the heterogeneity problem of element tags caused by random coupling,and ensured the targeting specificity,affinity and signal amplification ability of element tags.The element tag prepared here showed a specificity to bind/label with epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)biomarker on the surface of cancer cells,realizing single cancer cell analysis using ICP-MS.
