Objective To investigate the expression of Cyclin F in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), its clinicopathological characteristics, and its effect on the biological behavior of renal cancer cell lines Methods RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of Cyclin F in fresh ccRCC specimens. Immunohistochemistry assay was performed to detect the expression of Cyclin F protein in 80 paraffin samples. CCK-8 assay, scratch assay, and flow cytometry were conducted to determine the effects of Cyclin F overexpression on the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of renal cancer cell lines. Results The expression of Cyclin F in cancer tissues was higher than that in adjacent tissues at the mRNA level (P<0.0285). The expression of Cyclin Fprotein in cancer tissues was lower than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.001). The analysis of clinicopathological parameters showed that the low expression of Cyclin F was correlated with WHO/ISUP grade, Ki67 index, and age (P=0.041, 0.047, 0.008,). In vitro experiments confirmed that overexpression of Cyclin F promoted the proliferation (P<0.001) and migratory ability (24 h P=0.003, 48 h P=0.0058) of the RCC 786-O cell line, while inhibiting apoptosis (P=0.0019). Conclusion The low expression of Cyclin F protein in ccRCC tissuesis associated with high ISUP grade, high Ki67 index, oldage, and prognosis of patients.

Aim To explore the effect of Danggui Shaoyao San on edema in rats with nephrotic syndrome and the underlying mechanism.Methods Rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,Danggui Shaoyao San group(17.2 g·kg-1·d-1),losartan group(30 mg·kg-1·d-1)and tolvaptan group(3 mg·kg-1·d-1).The rat model of nephrot-ic syndrome was established by tail vein injection of adriamycin.After four weeks of treatment,the levels of renal function and 24 h urinary protein were detected.The distribution of aquaporin 2(AQP2)and pS256-AQP2 in renal tissue was detected by immunohisto-chemistry.The levels of plasma arginine vasopressin(AVP)and angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)were measured by radioimmunoassay.The expressions of renal AQP2,pS256-AQP2,angiotensin type 1 receptor(AT1R),arginine vasopressin receptor 2(V2R)protein and mRNA were measured by Western blot and RT-PCR,respectively.Results The three drugs could improve renal function,reduce proteinuria,decrease plasma AVP and Ang Ⅱ levels,and down-regulate AQP2 and pS256-AQP2 protein and mRNA expression in model rats.Danggui Shaoyao San and tolvaptan were more ef-fective than losartan in reducing plasma AVP levels.Conclusions Danggui Shaoyao San may regulate the expression of AQP2 by reducing the levels of AVP and Ang Ⅱ,and improve the edema of nephrotic syndrome rats.

Knee osteoarthritis has become one of the common diseases of the elderly,total knee arthroplasty(TKA)is the most effective treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis at present.In TKA,the effective restoration of the lower extremity alignment is one of the key factors for the success of the operation,which greatly affects the postoperative clinical effect and prosthesis survival rate of patients.Mechanical alignment is a TKA alignment method which is first proposed,recognized and widely used in TKA.In recent years,with the in-depth research on the lower limb alignment and the rapid development of com-puter technology,the alignment technology in TKA has realized the transformation from"unified"to"individualized",two-di-mensional to three-dimensional.New alignment methods,such as adjusted mechanical alignment,anatomic alignment,kine-matic alignment,inverse kinematic alignment,restricted kinematic alignment and functional alignment have been proposed to provide surgeons with more choices.However,there is no conclusion on which alignment method is the best choice.This paper summarizes the current research status,advantages and disadvantages of various alignment methods in TKA,and aims to pro-vide some reference for the selection of alignment methods in TKA.

Here,5 important pathogens carried by ticks in Maanshan City,Anhui Province,China were identified.In to-tal,642 ticks were collected from 13 villages around Maanshan City and identified by morphological and mitochondrial COI genes.The 16S rRNA gene of Francisella tularensis,ssrA gene of Bartonella,16S rRNA,ompA and ompB genes of Rickett-sia,16S rRNA and gltA genes of Anaplasma,and groEL and rpoB genes of Coxiella were sequenced.Reference sequences were retrieved from a public database.Phylogenetic trees were constructed with MEG A1 1.0 software.In total,36 Rickettsiae isolates were detected in 640 Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks,which included 20 isolates of Rickettsia heilongjian-gensis,16 of Candidatus Rickettsia jingxinensis,2 of Ana-plasma bovis,and 186 of Coxiella-like endosymbiont.R.hei-longjiangensis HY2 detected in this study and Anhui B8 strain,Ca.R.jingxinensis QL3 and those from Shanxi Prov-ince and Jiangsu Province,A.bovis JX4 and those from Shanxi Province were clustered on the same branch.Overall,17 ticks had combined infections and none of the 5 bacteria were detected in two Amblyomma testudinarium ticks.This is the first report of Ca.R.jingxinensis detected in H.longicornis ticks from Anhui Province.It is recommended that the two types of Rickettsia that cause spotted fever and A.bovis should be reported to local health authorities to initiate appropriate prevention and control measures.

To understand the distribution of ticks in the Wuwei Region,enrich tick species data,and provide a basis for the prevention of tick-borne diseases,tick were collected using flagging and tick-picking methods during the highest activity period from April to September in 2021 and 2022 in the mountainous areas of Wuwei City.The ticks were identified based on morpho-logical and molecular biological characteristics,and characteristic sequences were obtained.A systematic evolutionary tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining method in MEGA 11.0 software.In total,7 342 ticks collected in Wuwei,which be-longed to 5 species from 4 genera with in the Ixodidae family,which included Dermacentor nuttalli,Hyalomma asiaticum,Ixodes canisuga,Haemaphysalis longicornis and Haema-physalis danieli.Ticks of the same species clustered together into the same branch of an evolutionary tree.In the Wuwei Re-gion,five common tick species are found across various habi-tats,with each habitat featuring different distributions of tick species and populations.The Dermacentor nuttalli is the dom-inant tick species in this area.

AP2 transcription factors belong to the AP2/ERF superfamily and are involved in the regula-tion of various biological processes in plant growth and development,as well as in response to biotic and abiotic stresses.However,studies on the AP2 transcription factor family of Perilla frutescens have not been reported.In this study,totally 18 AP2 family members were identified from the Perilla frutescens ge-nome and analyzed for gene structure,conserved motifs,and cis-acting elements using bioinformatics.WRINKLED1(WRI1)is a key regulator of lipid biosynthesis in many plant species and plays an impor-tant role in the regulation of lipid synthesis.Sequence comparison revealed that one member of WRI1 is highly homologous to AtWRI1 and contains two conserved AP2 domains,named PfWRI1.The expression levels of PfAP2 family genes were analyzed in different tissues of Perilla frutescens and at different stages of seed development in conjunction with the transcriptome data,and the results showed that PfWRI1 is highly expressed only in the seeds of Perilla frutescens,suggesting that PfWRI1 may be related to the de-velopmental process of the seeds.The overexpression vector of plant pCAMBIA1303-PfWRI1 was con-structed,and wild-type(Col)and mutant(wri1-1)Arabidopsis thaliana were transformed by Agrobacte-rium tumefaciens to obtain overexpression and complementation lines,respectively.The results showed that the expression of P fWRI1 led to an increase in oil content of Arabidopsis seeds by 8.90％-13.57％compared with Col,and promoted the accumulation of oleic acid(C18:1)and linoleic acid(18:2)and reduced the accumulation of palmitic acid(C16:0),arachidonic acid(C20:0),and cis-11-Eicosenoic acid(C20:1)in transgenic Arabidopsis seeds.In addition,PfWRI1 gene expression increased the ex-pression of glycolysis and fatty acid biosynthesis-related genes AtPKP-α,AtPKP-β1,AtBCCP2,AtSUS2,and AtLIP1.Taken together,PfWRI1 may promote lipid accumulation by increasing unsaturated fatty acid content through interaction with the above genes.

To investigate the recent prevalence and molecular epidemiological characteristics of por-cine diarrhea viruses in Sichuan Province,this study used fluorescence quantitative PCR to detect porcine diarrhea samples from multiple regions in Sichuan Province from 2021 to 2023.RT-PCR was used to identify the genotypes of PEDV,PoRVA,PDCoV,and PTV,and their genetic variabil-ity,evolutionary characteristics,and recombination events were analyzed.The results showed that PEDV,PoRVA,PDCoV,and PTV were still prevalent in Sichuan region,with overall positive rates of 14.2％(40/281),13.2％(37/281),15.6％(44/281),and 12.5％(35/281),respectively.PEDV mixed infection with other pathogens was the most common.This study obtained a total of six strains of G2b PEDV,three strains of G3 PDCoV,three strains of G9P[13]PoRVA,one strain of G3P[13]PoRVA,three strains of Type 5 PTV,and one strain of Type 9 PTV.Compared to the seven vaccine strains including CV777,DR13,KPEDV-9,Chinju99,KNU-0801,AJ1102,and LW/L,the 6 PEDV strains showed multiple amino acid mutation sites in the COE region and S1D epitope region.Among them,the strains PSCLZ01 and PSCMY04 formed a separate branch in the phylogenetic tree.The three PDCoV strains have a closer genetic evolution distance to the previ-ously prevalent strains in Sichuan,but they also have 6-48 amino acid mutations compared to them.The four PoRVA strains have 104-108 amino acid variations in the VP4 gene compared to the early vaccine strain LLR,and they have 25 common amino acid variations in the VP7 gene.From the phylogenetic tree,the VP7 gene of RSCMY01/G3P[13]belongs to the same branch as the Heilongjiang strain LNCY,but its VP4 gene clusters with the Sichuan strain SCYA-C7,indica-ting that this PoRVA strain may have undergone genetic reassortment during inter-provincial transmission between different genotypes.It is worth noting that in the detected samples of PTV-5 and PTV-9,other diarrheal viruses tested negative,indicating that these two genotypes of PTV may be important pathogens causing porcine diarrhea.Additionally,the S gene of PEDV PSCLZ01 strain and PDCoV PCSCMY02 strain have undergone recombination events,and their parental strains come from different regions,both domestic and international.These findings reveal the main types of porcine diarrheal viruses,as well as their genetic diversity and variations in Sichuan Province in recent years.This study enriches the molecular epidemiological data of porcine diarrhe-al pathogens in the region and provides an important theoretical basis for the prevention,control,and purification of porcine diarrhea in the local area.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of ixazomib combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone in the treatment of multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:The clinical data of 60 MM patients admitted to our center from January 2019 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively,including 43 newly diagnosed patients and 17 patients with recurrence and progression.All patients were treated with ixazomib combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone,and completed 2 to 7 treatment cycles.Results:The overall response rate(ORR)of all patients was 98.3％.Among them,53 patients completed 4 treatment cycles,and the ORR was 86.8％.Seventeen patients completed the whole treatment cycle,with curative effect reaching 88.2％achieving very good partial response and above,and 52.9％achieving complete response and above.Albumin and β2-microglobulin of all patients had been improved rapidly after treatment.The deadline was August 31,2022.The median follow-up time was 14(3-24)months,and overall survival(OS)rate was 86.67％.The OS rate of patients with recurrence and progression was significantly lower than that of newly diagnosed patients(P＜0.05).The most common adverse reaction of hematology was lymphopenia(53.3％),followed by anemia(33.3％).The most common non-hematological adverse reaction was fatigue(68.33％),followed by peripheral neuropathy(31.67％).Conclusion:Ixazomib combined with thalidomide and dexamethasone is effective in the treatment of MM,with good short-term efficacy,survival and safety.However,its long-term efficacy needs further observation.

Objective:To explore the white matter structural characteristics in patients with bipolar disorder(BD)using diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)and investigate their relationship with cognitive function.Methods:A total of 15 patients with BD type Ⅰ and 26 patients with BD type Ⅱ who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)diagnostic criteria and 37 normal controls were included.Cognitive function was assessed with the Trail Making Test(TMT)and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsy-chological Status(RBANS).The tract-based spatial statistics(TBSS)method was used to explore the differences in fractional anisotropy(FA)and mean diffusivity(MD)among the three groups and perform correlation analyses with cognitive function.Results:Patients with BD Ⅰ and BD Ⅱ had lower scores in attention(P＜0.001),delayed memory(P＜0.01),and total scores(P＜0.001)on the RBANS compared to the normal control group.They also exhibited lower FA values in the corpus callosum and right superior corona radiata compared to the normal control group(P＜0.05).In the BD Ⅰ group,there was a positive correlation between FA values in the genu of corpus cal-losum and visuospatial/constructional scores(r=0.74,P＜0.05),while in the BD Ⅱ group,a positive correlation was found between FA values in the same region and language function scores(r=0.55,P＜0.05).Conclusion:It suggests that patients with bipolar disorder may have impaired white matter integrity in the corpus callosum and right superior corona radiata,which may be associated with cognitive impairment.
