Bovine rotavirus(BRV)is an important pathogen causing diarrhea in calves.To understand the genomic charac-teristics and genetic variations in bovine rotavirus,and to further enrich data on the biological characteristics of rotavirus,we aimed to amplify 11 gene segments of the isolated and cultured G6P[1]bovine rotavirus BLL strain,perform whole genome se-quencing,and analyze the molecular characteristics.MEGA7.0 and DNAMAN software were used for homology and typing a-nalysis,and the whole genome phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze genetic evolution relationships.The complete geno-type of the BLL strain was G6-P[1]-I2-R2-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3.Phylogenetic analysis of the VP7 and VP4 genes of the BLL strain showed that the VP7 gene had the highest homology with RVA/Cow-wt/HB01/China/2021,and the VP4 gene of the BLL strain was in the same branch as RVA/Human-tc/ISR/Ro8059/1995.From the sequence alignment of VP8*amino acids,the sialic acid domain of the BLL strain was found to be similar to that in other P[1]strains,but different from those in other types of strains,except for residue 189,which was the same as that in Ro8059 but different from that in other strains.The results suggested that the BLL strain might potentially infect humans.Therefore,continued monitoring and study of the biological characteristics of this strain are necessary to provide more information and evidence supporting further research on the cross-species transmission of group A rotavirus in China.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective: To summarize the clinical features and gene variation characteristics of a child with Okur-Chung syndrome caused by CSNK2A1 gene variation. Methods: The medical records of one patient who was diagnosed with Okur-Chung syndrome in Department of Pediatrics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in July 2018 were analyzed. Using "CSNK2A1" gene as the keyword, relevant information about CSNK2A1 gene was searched at CNKI, Wangfang Data, OMIM, PubMed, ClinVar, Decipher (until August 2018). The characteristics of CSNK2A1 gene variation and the clinical phenotype of children with Okur-Chung syndrome were summarized. Results: The boy, 1 year and 8 months old, was sent to hospital at the age of 1 year and 6 months because of delayed growth for more than 1 year. He was susceptible to cough while eating or drinking. He was also suffering from constipation and poor sleep. Physical examination showed that his body weight was 10.2 kg, microcephalus, broad nasal bridge, micrognathia and hypotonia were observed. Whole exome-sequencing test identified a de novo heterozygous variation c.524A>G (p.D175G) in CSNK2A1 gene. This was the first case report of CSNK2A1 gene variation in the mainland of China. So far, a total of 52 cases were reported worldwide (52 single nucleotide variants), including 35 cases in 7 articles, 9 cases in Decipher database and 14 cases in ClinVar database, 6 of which were also reported in PubMed. In previously reported 52 cases, there were 48 missense variants, whereas, splice and frameshift variations were found in 3 cases and 1 case, respectively. Among the variation sites, p.K198R was the most common sites (12 cases), followed by p.R47 (6 cases), p.R80H (4 cases) and p.S51 (4 cases). Among these 52 cases, only 27 cases have been elaborately described in other studies, so the clinical characteristics were summarized in 28 cases eventually (including 27 cases in the articles and this patient), 27 of whom presented severe intellectual disability or global development delay, 1 case with mild language development delay, and 19 had hypotonia; 8 had autism spectrum disorders, 5 had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and 9 had sleep problems. 20 had dysmorphic facial features, 10 of them had microcephalus. 16 had failure to thrive or short stature, 12 had gastrointestinal or oromotor problem, 5 had immunological problem, and 4 had skin abnormalities. Conclusions The main clinical feature of patients with CSNK2A1 gene variations is intellectual disability with multiple systems involved, such as microcephalus, abnormal facial shape and hypotonia. The variation of CSNK2A1 gene is the cause of Okur-Chung syndrome. Missense variation is the main cause, and P. K198R is the hotspot variation.

Objective: To report a family diagnosed with Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS) due to SLC16A2 gene mutation and to summarize the phenotypes, genotypes, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Methods: The clinical features of a family of AHDS diagnosed in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in November 2017 were analyzed. Related literature was searched at Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang database (from the establishment of databases to June 2018) by using "Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome" , and "AHDS" as keywords and the case reports from April 2013 to June 2018 were reviewed. Results: The proband was a boy aged 8 months who presented with global developmental retardation, inability to hold up the head, disability to sit independently or grab, no language development, elongated face, big ears, esotropia, scoliosis, hypotonia in the trunk, hypertonia in extremities, and hyperreflexia. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed widening of the extracerebral space and delayed myelination. Thyroid function tests revealed increased FT3, decreased FT4 and normal TSH. Whole exome sequencing (WES) revealed the SLC16A2 gene c.431-1 (IVS1) G>C hemizygous mutation. The infant's mother and grandmother are carriers, but whose father had no related mutation. One uncle from maternal side had severe psychomotor retardation as well as dystonia and died at one year of age with unknown etiology. A total of 97 articles were retrieved in which 19 case reports were reviewed. Forty-two cases (22 from 8 families and 20 sporadic) were reported. Among these 42 cases (all males), all of them presented with moderate to severe cognitive dysfunction, 15 with seizures; 36 were bedridden, only 4 could walk; 31 had no language development, 2 could speak sentences, 4 could speak few words, 1 had babbling sounds. Furthermore,16 had microcephaly, 18 had facial dysmorphism, 6 had esotropia, 2 had hearing loss,14 had scoliosis, 11 had joint contracture, 30 had low body weight/muscle wasting, 37 had hypotonia in trunk or extremities, 32 had progressive spastic paraplegia or hypertonia. In terms of thyroid function, 33 had abnormal results, within whom 30 had increased T3, 25 had decreased T4 and 3 had increased TSH. Brain MRI showed delayed myelination in 22 cases, within which one normalized with development. Genetic tests showed that 31 had missense mutation (14 sporadic), 5 had deletion mutation (3 sporadic, and 1 due to frameshift mutation), 5 had insertion mutation (2 sporadic), and 1 had repeated mutation. The prognosis was poor as patients often died of recurrent respiratory tract infection. Conclusions The main clinical manifestations of AHDS are severe global developmental retardation, hypotonia, spastic paraplegia, abnormal serum levels of thyroid hormone and delayed brain myelination. SLC16A2 c. 431-1 (IVS1) G > C mutation is accountable for this disease.

Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a rare autosome-recessive disease characterized by progressive motor and cognitive regression.The PLA2G6 gene is its causative gene,which encodes calcium-independent phospholipase A2 enzyme (iPLA2-VIA).The diagnosis of INAD is difficult because of its clinical heterogeneity,and the rate of misdiagnosis is high.The purpose of this study is to describe the clinical characteristics,molecular genetics,treatment and prognosis of INAD to improve the acknowledgement of INAD in medical workers and to help make an early diagnosis of INAD.

Objective To explore the effects of potassium iodate (KIO3) on the proliferation, cell cycle, and the mRNA/protein levels of cyclin D 1 and Ki67 of SW579 cells, a human thyroid squamous carcinoma cell line . Methods The effects of different doses of KIO3(0,10-6,10-5,10-4,10-3,10-2,10-1 mol/L)on SW579 cell prolifer-ation were assessed by CCK8 method.SW579 cells were then treated with 0 (control), 10-6 or 10-2 mol/L KIO3 for 48 h.The cell cycle was measured by flow cytometry .The mRNA and protein levels of cyclinD 1 and Ki67 were re-spectivelyanalyzedbyreal-timePCRandWesternblot.Results 10-6and10-2mol/LofKIO3respectivelyexhibi-ted the most promoting and suppressive effect on SW579 cell proliferation.G1 phase of cells in 10-6 group short-ened significantly( P<0.05) , and S phase prolonged significantly( P<0.05); while each phase of cells in 10-2 mol/L group changed in the opposite way( P<0.05) .KIO3 at the dose of 10-6 mol/L significantly up-regulated the mRNA levels of cyclin D1 and ki67 in cells( P<0.05) ;whereas, the mRNA and protein levels of cyclin D1 and Ki67 were significantly down-regulated in cells treated with 10-2 mol/L KIO3( P<0.05) .Conclusions Different doses of KIO3 affect the proliferation and cell cycle of SW579 cells probably by regulating the levels of cyclin D1and Ki67 .
