		                        			This study explores the potential antiepileptic mechanism of ursolic acid(UA)and its improvement of GABAergic interneuron damage induced by epilepsy based on transcriptome analysis.Hippocampal tissues from rats in the control group(NC group),epilepsy group(SE group),and epilepsy UA treatment group(UA group)were subjected to full-length transcriptome sequencing.The obtained sequencing data were analyzed,using gene ontology(GO),the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG),and protein-protein interaction(PPI)to perform the analysis of differential genes(DEGs).The expression levels of key differential genes were verified using RT-qPCR in hippocampal tissue.Finally,an epilepsy in vitro model was constructed on primary neurons,RT-qPCR was used to verify the expression levels of key differential genes,and the expression level of GABAA receptor γ2 subunit(GABRG2)on neurons was further examined using immunofluorescence and Western blot.The heatmap of pairwise sample expression correlation and the clustering analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that the SE group was farthest from the NC group,and that after UA treatment,the overall trend shifted towards the normal group.Compared with the SE group,a total of 220 differential genes were screened in the UA group,including 143 upregulated genes and 77 downregulated genes.GO enrichment analysis showed that it involved three processes in the primary classification:biological processes,cellular components,and molecular functions.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that DEGs were involved in 36 biological pathways,including cAMP signaling pathway and calcium signaling pathway.PPI analysis showed that DEGs were closely related to GABA and inflammation.RT-qPCR results showed that UA treatment increased the expression levels of GABA receptor-related gene(Gng4),GABA synthesis-related gene(Camk2a,Vgf,and Npy)and inflammation-related gene(Timp1 and Spp1)in hippocampal tissue,and decreased the expression levels of GABA synthesis-related gene(Nptx2)and cAMP-related pathway gene(Gnas).It further confirmed that UA treatment increased the expression levels of Gng4 and Camk2a on neurons and decreased the expression level of Gnas.Immunofluorescence and Western blot results showed that,compared with the SE group,the expression level of GABRG2 on primary neurons increased after UA treatment.This study enriched the transcriptome data of UA's antiepileptic effect and laid a theoretical foundation for further research on UA's antiepileptic and neuroprotective effects.

		                        			【Objective】 To understand the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Shaanxi Province from December 9, 2021 to January 20, 2022, and analyze the factors influencing the interval from isolation to diagnosis. 【Methods】 We collected the data of local COVID-19 cases from December 9, 2021 to January 20, 2022 published on the official website of Health Commission of Shaanxi Province. Descriptive statistical method was used to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 in Shaanxi Province. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used to compare the differences between groups. The unconditional Logistic regression model was applied to analyze the factors influencing the interval between isolation and diagnosis. 【Results】 The outbreak of COVID-19 in Shaanxi Province started on December 9, 2021 and ended on January 20, 2022. The overall change trend of the outbreak showed an "inverted V" shape. A total of 2,080 confirmed local cases were reported, and the main type of disease was mild, with an incidence rate of 5.26/100,000. Xi’an had the most cases, accounting for 98.69% of the total. The reported cases were mainly concentrated in people aged 21 to 55 years old, with a male-to-female sex ratio of 1.19∶1. The median interval from isolation to diagnosis was 3 days, the shortest interval being 0 day and the longest interval being 21 days. Unconditional Logistic regression model analysis showed that the way of finding cases was the factor influencing the interval from isolation to diagnosis. Compared with the way of isolation of the key population, the way of the nucleic acid screening could reduce the risk of late detection of confirmed cases by 89% (OR=0.11, 95% CI: 0.07-0.16). 【Conclusion】 The way of finding cases is the factor influencing the interval from isolation to diagnosis. In the face of the recent intensification of the spread of Omicron variant in mainland China, accurate and rapid identification and detection of confirmed cases can not only reduce the risk of the spread of the epidemic, but also endeavor more time and initiative for the treatment of patients, which is the key to curbing the spread of the epidemic.

		                        			Objective:To assess the change rules of fetal cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal volume and centrum volume with gestational ages.Methods:The 3.0 T MRI was performed on 55 fetal specimens ranging from 17 to 42 gestational weeks with sequence of three dimensional T 2WI. Among 55 samples, 20 samples were obtained from spontaneous abortion of pregnant women and 35 samples were obtained from induced labor of mothers due to serious diseases. The fetal specimen was derived from sectional imaging anatomy research institute of the medical school of Shandong University. No spinal abnormalities were found on CT scans. The cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal volume was obtained by delineating the vertebral body contour on the reconstructed cross-sectional image with the OsiriX software (www.osirix-viewer.com). And the volume of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine was divided by the number of the vertebral bodies to obtain the centrum unit volume. Five lumbar vertebral bodies were measured one by one. Regression analysis was made between the volume of cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine and gestational weeks, and between the volume of lumbar vertebral bodies and gestational weeks to analyze the growth rule of spine. Results:(1) The cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine volume increased linearly with gestational ages, and the linear regression equation was as follows: cervical spine volume (mm 3) =-1 260.937+81.235×gestational week ( R2=0.974, P<0.05), thoracic spine volume (mm 3) =-5 933.521+347.503×gestational week ( R2=0.972, P<0.05), lumbar spine volume (mm 3) =-5 130.912+294.473×gestational week ( R2=0.976, P<0.05). (2) The order from large to small of fetal spinal growth rate was thoracic, lumbar and cervical segment. Within the same gestational age, the order from large to small of spinal volume was thoracic, lumbar and cervical segment. The order from large to small of centrum unit volume growth rate was lumbar, thoracic and cervical vertebrae. (3) The volume of each lumbar vertebral body also increased linearly with gestational age. Conclusion:The cervical, thoracic and lumbar volume show a good correlation with the gestational weeks in the second and third trimester fatal specimens, and the growth rate of different segments is different.
