Objective:To investigate the effects of Japan tallow(JT)on liver injury and gut microbiota regulation in type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)mice,thereby providing a theoretical basis for developing therapeutic edible oils for diabetes treatment.Methods:T2DM animal model was established through a combined approach of nutritional intervention and chemical induction.Experimental animals were first fed a high-fat diet(HFD)for 6 weeks,followed by intraperitoneal injection of freshly prepared streptozotocin(STZ).After successful model establishment,the mice were divided into five groups(n=6 per group):control group without any intervention;T2DM group;HFD reversion to standard chow group;metformin group;and JT intervention group,which received respective treatments for 4 weeks.At the endpoint,fresh fecal samples were collected from all groups,and the gut microbiota composition was analyzed using 16s rDNA high-throughput sequencing.Liver histopathological changes were examined using histological methods.Results:Compared with the normal control(ND),T2DM mice showed significantly increased fasting blood glucose(FBG)levels,with evident hepatocyte lipid accumulation,steatosis,inflammatory cell infiltration,and widespread vacuolar and fatty degeneration.After Japan tallow(JT)intervention,FBG levels decreased significantly,liver color approximated normal appearance,and pathological morphology improved noticeably.16s rDNA sequencing analysis demonstrated that JT treatment could effectively regulate the intestinal microbiota structure in T2DM mice.Increased microbial α-diversity indices(Chao1,observed_species,Faith_pd,Simpson);At the phylum level,increased Verrucomicrobia abundance while decreased Proteobacteria were detected;At the family level,elevated Bifidobacteriaceae and reduced Porphyromonadaceae were seen;At the genus level,Bifidobacterium was promoted and Akkermansia proliferat while Escherichia and Klebsiella were downregulated.Conclusions:Japan tallow exhibits significant effects in alleviating liver tissue damage and regulating intestinal microbiota disorders in T2DM mice,our study indicated new theoretical basis for the research and development of potential strategy for diabetes.

A pyrene-phenol-based fluorescent probe PyP which showed typical intramolecular charge transfer(ICT)and monomer-excimer activities was synthesized by using pyrene carboxaldehyde hydrazone and 4-tert-butyl-2,6-diformylphenol as the raw materials.The effects of solvents on PyP were studied,and the results showed that the color of protic polar solvents(Ethanol,N,N-dimethylformamide,methanol and H2O)were successfully identified.Based on the solvent polarity-regulated PyP monomer-excimer switching,the rapid and highly sensitive ratiometric probe,"Turn-off"and"Turn-on"multimodal probes were established for detection of trace water content in organic solvents(Dimethyl sulfoxide,N,N-dimethylformamide,ethanol and methanol),with detection limits(3σ/k)of 0.0021％,0.046％,0.062％and 0.024％.The method was successfully used to detect water content in dimethyl sulfoxide,N,N-dimethy lformamide,ethanol and methanol commercial organic solvents,with recoveries ranging from 97.2％to 108.0％.The developed method showed good accuracy and stability,and had good application prospect.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor(sIL-2R),tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α),IgG and IgA for the recurrence in patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:A total of 108 MM patients who were initially diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2017 to March 2019,and 72 patients who met the diagnostic criteria and had complete follow-up data were selected as the study subjects.MM recurrence was the endpoint event,and follow-up was conducted until the occurrence of the endpoint event or the deadline of this study.MM patients were divided into recurrent group(RG)and non-recurrent group(NRG)based on whether they have relapsed or not.Venous blood was collected from patients at the first diagnosis and follow-up(at the occurrence of endpoint events or termination of the study),and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect sIL-2R and TNF-α levels in the patient's serum.An automatic immune analyzer was used to detect the levels of IgG and IgA in the patient's serum.The differences in expression levels of the factors between two groups were compared and the correlations between sIL-2R and TNF-α,IgG and IgA at the first diagnosis and follow-up were analyzed.At the same time,venous blood was collected from patients during complete remission,and their serum sIL-2R levels were measured to compare the differences in sIL-2R expression levels at the first diagnosis,complete remission and recurrence.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves was used to determine the optimal cutoff values for serum sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA,and the predictive value of sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA in the recurrence of MM patients were analyzed based on the area under the curve(AUC).Results:The serum sIL-2R levels of MM patients at the first diagnosis and recurrence were significantly higher than at complete remission(P＜0.05).At the first diagnosis,the hemoglobin content of RG was lower than that of NRG,while the β 2-microglobulin content was higher than that of NRG(P＜0.001).There was no significant difference in other clinical parameters between the two groups(P＞0.05).The levels of sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA at the first diagnosis and follow-up of RG were higher than those of NRG(P＜0.05).There was a significant correlation between sIL-2R and TNF-α,IgG and IgA at the first diagnosis and follow-up(P＜0.001).The ROC curve showed that,at the first diagnosis,sIL-2R,TNF-α,IgG and IgA predicted the AUC of MM patients were 0.919,0.850,0.766 and 0.795,respectively,after follow-up,they predicted AUC of MM were 0.890,0.815,0.760 and 0.794,respectively(P＜0.001).Conclusion:The serum sIL-2R has the highest predictive value for MM patient's recurrence,and it is possible to detect the TNF-α,IgG and IgA levels at specific times to infer changes in sIL-2R levels and evaluate the patient's prognosis.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

WRKY transcription factor is a type of transcription factor unique to plants and plays an important role in various physiological processes of plants. This study is based on the transcriptome data of Atractylodes lancea, the correlation between the FPKM values of the AlWRKY gene and the AlTPS gene of Atractylodes lancea was analyzed. Combined with the analysis results, the candidate gene AlWRKY65 with a significant positive correlation with the expression levels of AlTPS1 and AlTPS6 genes and a relatively high FPKM value was screened. The candidate gene was cloned to obtain the open reading frame ORF of the AlWRKY65 gene, and the related information of its encoded protein was analyzed and the gene expression was studied. The results showed that AlWRKY65 contains a 681 bp open reading frame and encoding 226 amino acids. Through amino acid sequence homology analysis, it was found that AlWRKY65 amino acid sequence had high homology with several plants such as HaWRKY65 and LsWRKY65; AlWRKY65 protein had a typical WRKYGQK domain, belonging to IIe subgroup of WRKY transcription factor family; phylogenetic analysis indicated that AlWRKY65 protein had the higher homology with CcWRKY65 protein; the expression of AlWRKY65 gene in different tissues of two producing areas of Atractylodes lancea were assayed via real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the results showed that all of them were highly expressed in leaves and also has tissue differences. The expression level of AlWRKY65 gene was down-regulated within 48 h of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) induction; subcellular localization and transcriptional activation assay suggested that AlWRKY65 was located in the nucleus and had no transcriptional activation activity. This study provides a reference for further elucidating the biological function of AlWRKY65 in Atractylodes lancea.

Objective:To observe the clinical phenotype of patients with CACNA1F gene variant. Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January 1, 2022 to October 1, 2023, 36 patients with CACNA1F gene mutation-related eye diseases diagnosed by clinical examination and genetic testing in Changsha Aier Eye Hospital and Jinan Purui Eye Hospital were included in the study. All patients underwent best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), medical optometry, fundus color photography, optical coherence tomography, full-field electroretinography (ERG), nystagmus examination, and genetic whole-exon sequencing. BCVA was performed using log visual acuity charts and converted to (logMAR). The nystagmus examination was performed using a helmet-mounted multifunctional video eye movement recording system. The clinical phenotypic characteristics were observed. Results:At total of 36 patients were male, aged was (6.69±5.26) years. There were 36 cases of myopia (38.89%, 14/36), and the spherical equivalent was (?3.01±4.84) D. There were 14 different genetic variants including 7 cases of pathogenic variants, 20 cases of suspected pathogenic variants and 9 cases of unknown pathogenic variants, respectively. logMAR BCVA was 0.67±0.27; 26 patients had optic nerve atrophy (72.22%, 26/36); 6 had optical nerve hypoplasia (16.67%, 6/36). Fundus pigment dysplasia with mild iris transillumination was found in 4 cases (11.11%, 4/36). There were 5 cases of foveal dysplasia (Thomas grade) 1 (13.89%, 5/36). In full-field ERG examination, the B-wave reduction of the maximum mixed reaction of dark adaptation showed a negative waveform, and the amplitude of the shock potential was seriously reduced. The main phenotypes were residual type (residual dark adaptation 0.01 reaction wave and bright adaptation 3.0 reaction wave, and the response decreased at 30 Hz to a double-peak wide wave), dominant type of bright adaptation decreased (all light adaptation extinguished, all dark adaptation extinguished), and total extinction type (all light adaptation extinguished). Among them, 10 cases presented with residual ERG (27.78%, 10/36), 8 cases with photopic reduced ERG (22.22%, 8/36) and 18 with extinguished ERG (50.00%, 18/36). Low amplitude and high frequency pendulum (PLAHF) nystagmus waverforms were found in 32 cases (88.89%, 32/36), head oscillation in 27 cases (75.00%, 27/36) and chin up abnormal head posture in 26 cases (72.22%, 26/36), respectively.Conclusions:CACNA1F Gene variant eye diseases had diverse clinical phenotype. Clinical phenotype of PLAHF nystagmus is closely related with CACNA1F gene variant eye disease.

Background/Aims: Cholestatic liver diseases including primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) are associated with active hepatic fibrogenesis, which ultimately progresses to cirrhosis. Activated hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are the main fibrogenic effectors in response to cholangiocyte damage. JCAD regulates cell proliferation and malignant transformation in nonalcoholic steatoheaptitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (NASH-HCC). However, its participation in cholestatic fibrosis has not been explored yet. Methods: Serial sections of liver tissue of PBC patients were stained with immunofluorescence. Hepatic fibrosis was induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) in wild-type (WT), global JCAD knockout mice (JCAD-KO) and HSC-specific JCAD knockout mice (HSC-JCAD-KO), and evaluated by histopathology and biochemical tests. In situ-activated HSCs isolated from BDL mice were used to determine effects of JCAD on HSC activation. Results: In consistence with staining of liver sections from PBC patients, immunofluorescent staining revealed that JCAD expression was identified in smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA)-positive fibroblast-like cells and was significantly up-regulated in WT mice with BDL. JCAD deficiency remarkably ameliorated BDL-induced hepatic injury and fibrosis, as documented by liver hydroxyproline content, when compared to WT mice with BDL. Histopathologically, collagen deposition was dramatically reduced in both JCAD-KO and HSC-JCAD-KO mice compared to WT mice, as visualized by Trichrome staining and semi-quantitative scores. Moreover, JCAD deprivation significantly attenuated in situ HSC activation and reduced expression of fibrotic genes after BDL. Conclusions JCAD deficiency effectively suppressed hepatic fibrosis induced by BDL in mice, and the underlying mechanisms are largely through suppressed Hippo-YAP signaling activity in HSCs.
