The study explored the therapeutic effect and mechanism of the compound composed of tangerine peel,plum,agrimony and hawthorn on Eimeria tenella in chicks.In the experiment,144 chicks were divided into six groups:the blank group,the model group,the diclazuril group,and the high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose traditional Chinese medicine compound groups.The 14-day-old chickens were infected,the body weight and mortality were recorded,and the samples were dis-sected at 21 days of age.The anticoccidial effect of Chenpi compound at different doses was evalua-ted by calculating anticoccidial index,feed conversion rate and detecting serum cytokine levels and related mRNA expression levels.The results showed that the anticoccidial index of the middle dose group was 172.86,and the anticoccidial index of the low dose group was 158.98.In the middle and low dose groups,the levels of IL-1β,IL-6 and MDA in serum decreased significantly,while the levels of IL-4,IL10,T-AOC,SOD,CAT and GSH-Px increased significantly,and the mRNA ex-pression levels of related inflammation and antioxidant pathways changed.Further studies found that the medium-dose compound can regulate the ChTLR15/ChMyD88/ChNF-κB/ChNLRP3/Caspase-1 inflammatory signaling pathway,activate the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1 antioxidant signaling pathway,and enhance the body's anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity;at the same time,it can increase the expression of intestinal tight junction ZO-1 and Occludin,repair the damaged in-testinal barrier,and play an anticoccidial role.The results showed that the middle dose of tangerine peel compound had a good effect in the treatment of coccidiosis,and its mechanism involved the regulation of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant pathways.

Objective To establish a predictive model using multiple layer perceptron (MLP) for short-term outcome after subacute ischemic stroke.Methods From January, 2019 to September, 2021, 60 readmission-inpatients in Department of Rehabilitation, Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine were collected the clinical features of first admission (less than 30 days after attack), and the outcomes were assessed with modified Rankin Scale (MRS) three months after the first admission. The risk factors were screened with single factor analysis, and the short-term outcome predictive models were established with multi-factor Logistic regression and MLP. The predictive accuracy of both models was calculated, and the predictive effects were compared with Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve.Results For multi-factor Logistic regression, the predictive accuracy was 73.3%, and the area under ROC curve was 0.851. For MLP, the predictive accuracy was 88.9%, and the area under the ROC curve was 0.930.Conclusion The prediction of short-term outcome after subacute ischemic stroke can be done with MLP model.

Objective: To find the differential expression profiles of circRNA in whole blood and predict its target genes in blood of patients with tuberculosis in Xinjiang, and explore the relationship between circRNA and the development of tuberculosis. Methods: The circRNAs expression in peripheral blood from 3 pulmonary tuberculosis patients and 3 healthy individuals were tested by using circRNA microarray assay. The whole blood from 43 patients with tuberculosis, 40 healthy individuals and 43 patients with pneumonia were collected to verify the results by real-time quantitative PCR system. The possibility of differentially expressed circRNA target genes were predicted by circRNA target gene prediction database. Results: In the results of microarray assay 835 circRNAs were found to be expressed differentially in whole blood between the tuberculosis patients and healthy controls of Xinjiang area, of which 249 circRNAs were up-regulated and 586 circRNAs were down-regulated in the patients. The expressions of four significantly different circRNA were verified by real time quantitative PCR and the results showed that hsa_circ_0008276, hsa_circ_0003452, hsa_circ_0001846 and hsa_circ_0090508 were down-regulated (P＜0.05), and hsa_circ_0090508 was the more specific than the other three circRNAs. The results of circRNA target genes prediction suggested that has-miR-1294, has-miR-604, has-miR-616, has-miR-663b and has-miR-486-3p may be the potential target genes of hsa_circ_0090508. Conclusion The differentially expressed circRNA hsa_circ_0090508 was significantly downregulated in the patients with tuberculosis and may affect the regulation mechanism of tuberculosis through target genes.

Purpose To explore the clinicopathologic fea-tures, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of desmoid-type fibro-matosis (DTF). Methods The clinicopathological data of 55 cases of DTF were retrospectively analyzed and followed up. Re-sults Among 55 cases of DTF, 18 cases were male and 37 cases were female. Median age was 33 years old (range from 6-71). 19 cases were occurred in abdominal wall, 23 cases were extra-abdomen, 13 cases in intra-abdomen and mesentery. DTF was composed of proliferating spindle fibroblasts and a number of collagen fibers. The cell showed no obvious atypia and the mitot-ic figures were rare. Immunohistochemical results showed posi-tive expression of vimentin, partial expression of SMA, desmin. The positive expression of β-catenin was located in nucleus of DTF cells. CD34, CD117, DOG1, S-100 were negatively ex-pressed. Ki-67 proliferation index was low. The effect of surgical resection was good for DTF. After 2-82 months follow-up, 17 ca-ses recurred and the remainders were disease-free survival. Con-clusion DTF is a rare intermediate tumor of soft tissue with no specificity of clinical and imaging features, which should be dif-ferentiated with a variety of benign and malignant diseases. The nuclear expression of β-catenin acts an important role in diagno-sis and differential diagnosis of DTF.

BACKGROUNDThis study was undertaken to obtain differentially expressed genes related to human glioma by cDNA microarray and the characterization of a novel full-length gene.

METHODSTotal RNA was extracted form human glioma and normal brain tissue, and mRNA was used as a probe. The results of hybridization procedure were scanned with the computer system. The gene named 507E08 cone was subsequently analyzed by northern blot, bioinformatic approach, and protein expression.

RESULTSFifteen differentially expressed genes were obtained from human glioma by hybridization and scanning for four times. Northern blot analysis confirmed that the 507E08 clone was low expressed in human brain tissue and over expressed in human glioma tissues. The analysis of BLASTn and BLASTx showed that the 507E08 clone was a novel full-length gene, which codes 203 amino acid of protein and is called human ribosomal protein 14.22 gene. The nucleotide sequence had been submitted to the GenBank with the accession number of AF329277. After expression in E. coli., protein yielded a major band of apparent molecular mass 22 kDa on an SDS-PAGE gel.

CONCLUSIONScDNA microarray technology can be successfully used to identify differentially expressed genes. The novel full-length gene of human ribosomal protein 13.22 may be correlated with the development of human glioma.

BACKGROUNDThis investigation was undertaken to obtain differentially expressed genes related to human glioma using cDNA microarray and the characterization of one novel full-length gene.

METHODSTotal RNA was extracted from human glioma tissues and normal brain tissues, and mRNA was used to make probes. After hybridization and washing, the results were scanned using a computer system. The gene named 681F05 clone was an expressed gene to human glioma through four-time hybridization and scanning. Subsequently northern blot analysis was performed by northern blot, 5'RACE and bioinformatics.

RESULTSFifteen differentially expressed genes to human glioma were obtained through four-time hybridization and scanning. Northern blot analysis confirmed that 681F05 clone was low-expressed in human brain tissues and over-expressed in human glioma tissues. The analysis of BLASTn and BLASTx showed that 681F05 clone is two cDNA clones encoding two novel proteins that are highly identified to the cyclophilin isoform 10 of C. Elgans, respectively. Sequence analysis revealed the two cDNA clones are two different splicing variants of a novel cycophilin-like gene (PPIL3a and PPIL3b).

CONCLUSIONScDNA microarray technology can be successfully used to identify differentially expressed genes. The novel full-length gene of human PPIL3 may be correlated with the formation of human glioma.
