African swine fever virus (ASFV) infection leads to a mortality rate of up to 100%, causing devastating disasters to the pig industry. Understanding the ASFV infection and replication is therefore of great importance. ASFV has more than 150 open reading frames, among which the inner coat protein p17 encoded by the D117L gene is involved in the formation of the icosahedral structure of the virus. However, little is known about the mechanism how p17 regulates host cell function. In this study, the potential host proteins interacting with ASFV p17 were screened by immunoprecipitation technique combined with protein profiling analysis. The interactions of p17 with mitochondrial membrane protein TOMM70 and heat shock protein HSPA8 were confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation technique and laser confocal experiments. This study provides important information for further exploring the function of p17 during ASFV infection.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and surgical effectiveness of the primary retroperitoneal teratoma in infants.Methods The records of 36 patients were retrospectively reviewed who were diagnosed as primary retroperitoneal teratoma and treated at the Department of Pediatric Oncology,Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center between August 2015 and August 2017.The related data were collected,including gender,age,operation time,operational bleeding and tumor weight.All patients took the ultrasound,computed tomography (CT) before surgery,alpha-fetal protein (AFP) and human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) were detected during peri-operation period.All cases were classified into 0 to Ⅲ grades according to the Norris classification (27 patients of 0 grade,1 patient of Ⅰ grade,4 patients of Ⅱ grade,4 patients of Ⅲ grade).Results There were 9 males and 27 females in the study.All patients were treated surgically at the age of 11.4 months (7 days-7 years) on the average;the mean weight of incised tumor was 736.47 g (7.90-2 355.00 g);operation time was 2.88 hours (1.08-7.06 hours);the amount of bleeding during operation was 29.11 mL (2-150 mL).All patients received follow-ups for 6.56 months (9 days-23 months) on the average.Radiographs found that tumors in 25 patients (69.4%) were located in the left side of the abdominal cavity,and the rest of them were located in the right side.In addition,tumors in 30 patients (83.3 %) were big enough to pass across the mid-line of the body.Average pre-operation AFP was 7 593.1 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP was 1 339.5 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the mature group was 5 439.6 μg/L(1.7-80 000.0 μg/L),post-operation AFP of the mature group was 1 130.6 μg/L(1.4-16 519.6 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.001);pre-operation AFP of the immature group [11 182.3 μg/L(17.4-80 000.0 μg/L)] was higher than that of the mature group,and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.006).On the final follow-up,AFP was mean 38.3 μg/L (1.4-352.4 μg/L);among them,AFP of the mature group was mean 14.3 μg/L (1.4-43.3 μg/L),the immature group was 78.4 μg/L(1.7-325.4 μ g/L),and the difference was statistically significant(P =0.028);AFP of 4 patients in the immature group who underwent chemotherapy was 54.9 μg/L (2.6-116.6 μg/L)on the average,lower than those of post-operation AFP of 265.2 μg/L (206.8-384.1 μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (P =0.042).All patients were treated surgically,and 3 cases of them received laparoscope technique;no significant relationship was proved between time of surgery and the tumor weight,location,and Norris classification(all P > 0.05).The incidence rate of the surgical complications was 42.1%,such as tumor rupture (6 patients),vascular injury (5 patients),digestive tract damage (4 patients) and incomplete incision (1 patient).There was no death case in the serials.Conclusions Primary retroperitoneal teratoma can be completely incised.However,the complications of surgery could appear in many cases.As a predictive index for the recurrence retroperitoneal teratoma,AFP can be diminished by chemotherapy following the surgery.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effects of Chaihu Shugan powder ( CSP) on lipid metabolism and the pro-teins involved in adenosine 5’-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK)/sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) pathway in the liver tissues of the rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly di-vided into normal control ( NC) group, with HFD ( HFD) group and CSP group.The NAFLD models were established by feeding with HFD for 16 weeks in the rats.The rats in CSP group were intragastrically administered with CSP extracts (9.6 g· kg-1 · d-1 ) , and blood and liver samples were collected 16 weeks later.Serum and liver levels of total cholesterol ( TC) and triglyceride ( TG) , and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase ( AST) were measured using an automatic biochemical analyzer.The histological changes of liver tissues were observed with HE staining, while the lipid deposition was observed with Oil Red O staining.The ultrastructural changes of the liver tissues were observed under transmission electron microscope.Moreover, the protein levels of AMPK, phosphorylated AMPK (pAMPK), SIRT1 and uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) in the liver were detected by Western blot.RESULTS:The results of HE staining, Oil Red O staining and electron microscopy demonstrated that NAFLD rat model was successfully estab-lished.Compared with NC group, the serum and liver levels of TC and TG, and serum level of AST in model group were markedly elevated ( P<0.01) .Moreover, the protein levels of pAMPK and SIRT1 in HFD group were markedly reduced (P<0.01), whereas UCP2 level was elevated (P<0.01).Furthermore, liver levels of TC and TG, and serum level of AST in GSP group were markedly reduced as compared with HFD group ( P<0.05 ) .The protein levels of pAMPK and SIRT1 were elevated ( P<0.05 ) , whereas the UCP2 level was reduced as compared with HFD group ( P<0.01 ) .The protein level of AMPK between the 3 groups had no significant difference.CONCLUSION: CSP attenuates hepatic lipid disorder and hepatic lipid deposition in NAFLD rats induced by feeding with HFD for 16 weeks, which is associated with the activation of AMPK/SIRT1 pathway.

OBJECTIVETo identify potential mutation of TRAPPC2 gene in a Chinese family affected with X-linked spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (X-SEDL), and explore its underlying molecular mechanism.
METHODSPeripheral blood samples were collected from 32 members of the family and 50 healthy adults to extract genomic DNA. DNA sequences of exons 3 to 6 and their exon/intron boundaries were amplified with PCR amplification. Direct bi-directional sequencing analysis was performed on the PCR products. The sequences were aligned to the reference sequences from the GenBank to determine mutation site and type.
RESULTSA nucleotide substitution of the splice-donor in TRAPPC2 intron 3, c.93+5G>A, was detected in the proband, but no sequence change was detected in TRAPPC2 exons 3 to 6. All of the 6 male patients and 8 female carriers from the family were detected to have carried this mutation. The same mutation was not found in the remaining 18 family members with a normal phenotype and 50 healthy controls.
CONCLUSIONWe have detected a c.93+5G>A mutation in the TRAPPC2 gene in a Chinese family affected with X-SEDL. Our results have expanded the spectrum of TRAPPC2 mutations and is helpful for presymptomatic and prenatal diagnoses of this disease.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze deafness gene mutations by genechip.
METHOD:
The peripheral blood samples were obtained and DNA templates were extracted by extraction kits. The deafness gene mutations were distinguished by genechip.
RESULT:
Among 42 patients with non-syndromic hearing loss, GJB2 235delC was found in 11 cases (7 cases were homozygosis, 4 cases were heterozygosis); 4 cases were shown to carry the PDS IVS7-2A>G mutation.
CONCLUSION
The incidence of GJB2 gene and PDS IVS7-2A>G mutations among the deaf- mute children in Guiyang city is 38.10%. Molecular genetic screening for these mutations and genetic counseling are effective methods to prevent the occurrence of hereditary hearing loss.
