Improving the reproducibility of biomedical research results is a major challenge. Transparent and accurate reporting of the research process enables readers to evaluate the reliability of the research results and further explore the experiment by repeating it or building upon its findings. The ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines, released in 2019 by the UK National Centre for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), provide a checklist that is applicable to any in vivo animal research report. These guidelines aim to improve the standardization of experimental design, implementation, and reporting, as well as enhance the reliability, repeatability, and clinical translation of animal experimental results. The use of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines not only enriches the details of animal experimental research reports, ensuring that information on animal experimental results is fully evaluated and utilized, but also enables readers to understand the content expressed by the author accurately and clearly, promoting the transparency and completeness of the fundamental research review process. At present, the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines have been widely adopted by international biomedical journals. This article is based on the best practices following the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines in international journals, and it interprets, explains, and elaborates in Chinese the fifth part of the comprehensive version of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines published in PLoS Biology in 2020 (the original text can be found at https://arriveguidelines.org). This section includes the items 6-11 of Recommended 11 section, covering "Animal Care and Monitoring", "Interpretation/Scientific Implications", "Generalisability/Translation", "Protocol Registration", "Data Access" and "Declaration of Interests". Its aim is to promote a comprehensive understanding and use of the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines among domestic researchers, to enhance the standardization of experimental animal research and reporting, and to promote high-quality development of experimental animal sciences and comparative medicine research in China.

Cognitive dysfunction is the impairment of higher brain functions.Cognitive impairment caused by neuropsychiatric diseases has caused serious impact on patients'quality of life and the outcome of the disease.The transcranial alternating current stimulation(tACS)improves cognitive function by modulating neural oscillations of specific frequencies,affecting the release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine,and enhancing local and distal synchronization of brain networks.Specific frequencies of tACS can improve the cognitive impairment caused by Alzheimer disease(AD),schizophrenia,and depression,among which the gamma and theta frequencies of tACS have the most significant effects on cognitive function.tACS has high safety and low operational difficulty,and has great potential to improve cognitive function.

ObjectiveTo investigate the willingness of middle school students to engage in medicine and its influencing factors during COVID-19 pandemic in Lanzhou， so as to provide references for the early career planning education on middle school students. MethodsConvenient sampling method was used to choose 1 795 middle school students from 5 schools in Lanzhou from July 21 to July 31， 2022 for this study where an online questionnaire survey was distributed to collect data. A self-compiled questionnaire was used to gather the general information， assess the willingness to engage in medicine and seek the underlying reasons. The psychological resilience level of students was assessed using Resilience Scale for Adolescents. Then multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to screen the factors associated with the willingness of middle school students to engage in medicine. ResultsAfter the local outbreak of COVID-19 in Lanzhou， 835 （46.52%） middle school students demonstrated their willingness to engage in medicine， and the top three reasons for their willingness were being affected by medical staff during the pandemic （75.69%）， having interests in medical sciences （67.31%）， and the potential increase of attention to national medical development after the epidemic （43.23%）. Logistical regression analysis showed that female gender （OR=1.438， P<0.01）， family members engaged in the medical and health industry （OR=1.574， P<0.01） and having a high psychological resilience score （OR=1.011， P<0.01） were related to the clear willingness to engage in medicine， while studying in senior middle school （OR=0.473， P<0.01） and excessive exposure （≥50%） to negative information during the epidemic （OR=0.797， P<0.05） were related to declining willingness to engage in medicine. ConclusionAfter the COVID-19 outbreak in Lanzhou， a large proportion of local middle school students show their willingness to engage in medicine， especially among those of female gender， having family members engaged in the medical and health industry and having high level of psychological resilience. Whereas students studying in senior middle school and with excessive exposure to negative information during the outbreak indicate low willingness to engage in medicine.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the cellular uptake and in vivo imaging of paclitaxel(PTX)-loaded polyethylene glycol(PEG)-modified rhein conjugate micelles. METHODS (P4/P2+PTX)/CRmP micelles were prepared by co-loading environment-responsive fluorescent probes P4/P2 and PTX into CRmP micelles. Using MCF-7 cells as cell models, the uptake of the micelles by MCF-7 cells was analyzed by laser confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. The H22 subcutaneous transplanted tumor mice were used as animal models, and the distribution of the micelles in vivo and in vitro were analyzed by in vivo imaging system. RESULTS (P4+PTX)/CRmP micelles in the intact form were internalized by MCF-7 cells and distributed in the cytoplasm. (P2+PTX)/CRmP micelles were more accumulated in the liver and tumor sites in vivo, and gradually accumulated at the tumor sites during the experimental time. CONCLUSION The intact micelles can be taken up by tumor cells, and have liver and tumor targeting properties in vivo.

Griscelli syndrome type Ⅱ (GS2) is a rare disease, and patients with GS2 are susceptible to secondary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). GS2 accompanied by secondary HLH has a dangerous clinical course, high mortality, and a high miss-diagnosis rate.In this paper, the pathogenesis and prognosis of a case confirmed as GS2 with secondary HLH by gene screening were reported, so as to improve diagnosis and treatment of this disease.The patient had clinical manifestations of silver hair and eye lashes, recurrent pulmonary infection, contiuning high fever, significantly increased ferroprotein levels and decreased fibrinogen levels.Besides, RAB27A gene homozygous mutations were found in the patient, originating from her parents (p.P126Qf3*3 frameshift mutation). This finding confirmed the diagnosis of GS2.The patient underwent transplantation of marrow stem cells from her father since the father-daughter HLA was 7/10.The follow-up results showed that the patient was still alive and healthy 2 years after transplantation.

Multiple myeloma is a type of hematological malignancy caused by clonal plasma cell proliferation. In recent years, the application of proteasome inhibitors and immune drugs (IMiDs) in multiple myeloma has prolonged the survival period of patients and improved the quality of life. However, due to the heterogeneity, recurrence and drug resistance of the disease, MM is still incurable. Relatively good response rates of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as Pembrolizumab, Nivolumab, Pidilizumab, Atezolizumab and Durvalumab offer MM a new hope. This article reviews the relevant literature in recent years, introduces the immune pathogenesis of MM, PD-1/PD-L1/2-related immune pathway and the current status of immunotherapy, to provide reference for the immunotherapy of MM.

In this study, in vitro cytotoxicity of carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein conjugate(CR conjugate)and paclitaxel-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein polymeric micelles(PTX/CR PMs)was evaluated by MTT method in MCF-7 cells. The results showed that CR conjugate displayed good security; PTX/CR PMs in 24 h showed better antitumor activity than Taxol® . Environment-responsive fluorescent probe P4 was used to determine the cellular uptake of PTX/CR PMs in MCF-7 cells. The results also showed that P4 and PTX co-loaded carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein polymeric micelles ［(P4+PTX)/CR PMs］ could be taken up by MCF-7 cells. There was no difference between(P4+PTX)/CR PMs group and(P4+PTX)/CR PMs with verapamil group, suggesting that CR PMs could protect fluorescent probe and/or drugs in their cores avoiding efflux by P-glycoprotein. These results will contribute to in vivo study of CR conjugate and PTX/CR PMs in the future.

Paclitaxel(PTX), an effective anti-tumor drugs, is water-insoluble. And Cremophor as a solubilizer in its commercial formulation, Taxol® , often causes side-effects which limit its antitumor effect. We designed and synthesized PEGylated carboxymethyl chitosan-rhein(CRmP)conjugate, and further prepared PTX-loaded CRmP polymeric micelles(PTX/CRmP). CRmP conjugate was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectrum(FT-IR)and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(1H NMR). The particle size and surface morphology of PTX/CRmP were characterized by dynamic laser particle size analyzer(DLS)and atomic force microscope(AFM), respectively. The cytotoxicity of CRmP conjugate and PTX/CRmP against MCF-7 cells were evaluated by MTT assay. The results showed that CRmP conjugates displayed very low cytotoxicity and that PTX/CRmP exhibited better in vitro anti-tumor activity than Taxol® at the same drug concentration after a long-term administration.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) VP4 plays an important role in immunosuppression of host. In order to develop monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against VP4, we vaccinated BALB/c mice with His-VP4, screened and subcloned positive clones. We established 4 hybridoma cell lines that stably secreted McAbs against VP4 and named these cell lines 3B3, 3H11, 4C8 and 4G6, respectively. We tested the dissociation constant (Kd) of these McAbs, and found that their K(d)s were 4.61 x 10(-11), 1.71 x 10(-10), 4.26 x 10(-11), 5.02 x 10(-11), respectively. The isotypes of these McAbs were determined to be IgG1, IgG1, IgG2b and IgG1. These McAbs specifically bound to VP4 in IBDV infected DF-1 cells as demonstrated by Western blotting analysis and fluorescence antibody assay. These McAbs would help to detect IBDV infection and to analyze the biological activities of IBDV VP4.
