Objective To investigate the relationship between gentamicin sulfate mediated gut microbi-ota in affecting glucolipid metabolism and inflammation with hypertension improvement.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats (8-weeks-old) were divided into the normal diet group (ND,n=11),high fat diet group (HFD,n=13) and HFD combined with gentamicin sulfate gavage group (GS,n=13).Blood pressure was monitored weekly during 5-13 weeks,and the levels of insulin,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α,LPS,TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) were assessed at 13 weeks.The met-agenomic analyses were performed on DNA samples from rat colonic feces.Results The blood pressure in 13 weeks had no statistical difference among the three groups (P>0.05).The blood pressure during 5-10 weeks in the GS group was higher than that in the ND group with statistical difference (P<0.05).The blood pressure during 5-13 weeks in the HFD group was higher than that in the ND group,and the blood pressure during 10-13 weeks in the GS group was lower than that in the HFD with statistical difference (P<0.05). Compared with the group ND,the levels of TC,TG,LDL-C and HOMA-IR in the HFD group were higher,the HDL-C level was lower,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with the HFD group,the levels of TG,LDL-C and HOMA-IR in the GS group were lower,the HDL-C level was higher,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).The levels of LPS,IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in the HFD group were higher than those in the ND group,while the GS group was lower than the HFD group (P<0.05).The partial least squares discriminant analysis showed that the intestinal microbiota in the HFD group and GS group was different in structure from that in the ND group.The family level results showed that the structure of the gut microbiota changed in three groups,including 24 microbiotas with significant changes.The hierarchical analysis showed that the proportion of f-desulphovibrio in the HFD group was higher than that in the ND group,while the GS group was lower the HFD group,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Oral antibiotic gentamicin sulfate could improve the glucose and lipid metabolism ab-normalities and inflammation caused by HFD and its mechanism may be to relieve hypertension by regulating intestinal flora structure,abundance and LPS level.

Objective To prepare the standard molecular weight fragment mixtures. Methods Primers were designed to prepare clones which contained different sizes of standard molecular weight fragments. The template used for amplification of insert fragments was the pMD18-T vector. Bacteria culture and plasmid extraction were used to obtain abundant target fragment. Unlabeled DNA fragments were prepared by double digestion of the recombinant plasmids, and the fluorescent adaptor was prepared by annealing with two partial reverse complimentary DNA fragments. The unlabeled fragments and fluorescent adaptor were connected by DNA ligation reaction assisted with T4 DNA ligase. In this way, different sizes of standard molecular weight fragments were prepared. Standard molecular weight fragment mixture was finally prepared by mixing all the fragments together before purification. Results Ten standard molecular weight fragments of different sizes were prepared. The sizes of each fragment are 80bp, 124bp, 194bp, 224bp, 254bp, 304bp, 349bp, 399bp, 424bp and 454bp. The internal standard could accurately determine the size of PCR products amplified with the DNATyper15 kit. Conclusion Using this method, the standard molecular weight fragment mixture which meet the requirements of research and laboratory use was prepared, perfectly providing a new method for preparation of the DNA molecular weight standards. The peaks and the size of the prepared DNA internal lane standard are correct, which can be used to calculate the DNA fragments size in capillary electrophoresis.

Objective To report our first clinical experience with a novel modified culotte technique for the treatment of true coronary bifurcation lesions. Methods The novel modified culotte technique (the mono-ring culotte) stenting was done in which the side branch (SB) stent was deployed firstly followed by ex vivo wiring of a most proximal cell of SB stent with the hard end of main branch (MB) wire. Secondly, the MB stent was deployed through the most proximal cell of SB stent. The procedure was ended with kissing balloon dilation. From June 2014 to March 2015, 15 patients with true coronary bifurcation lesion were treated with mono-ring culotte stenting in our center. Results The procedures were successful in all cases without procedural complication and in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events. The procedural time was (34. 3 ± 9. 6) min, fluoroscopic time was (18. 1 ± 3. 8) min, and contrast volume was (112. 0 ± 24. 5) ml, respectively. Post-procedurally, the residual stenosis of the main and the side branch were (10. 0 ± 2. 5)% and (10. 2 ± 5. 3)% , respectively. Conclusions The mono-ring culotte stenting is safe and feasible for treatment of true coronary bifurcation lesions, and may be superior to the conventional culotte stenting.

Transcriptional regulation is one of the major regulations in plant adventious shoot regeneration, but the exact mechanism remains unclear. In our study, the RNA-seq technology based on the IlluminaHiSeq 2000 sequencing platform was used to identify differentially expressed transcription factor (TF) encoding genes during callus formation stage and adventious shoot regeneration stage between wild type and adventious shoot formation defective mutant be1-3 and during the transition from dedifferentiation to redifferentiation stage in wildtype WS. Results show that 155 TFs were differentially expressed between be1-3 mutant and wild type during callus formation, of which 97 genes were up-regulated, and 58 genes were down-regulated; and that 68 genes were differentially expressed during redifferentiation stage, with 40 genes up-regulated and 28 genes down-regulated; whereas at the transition stage from dedifferentiation to redifferention in WS wild type explants, a total of 231 differentially expressed TF genes were identified, including 160 up-regualted genes and 71 down-regulated genes. Among these TF genes, the adventious shoot related transcription factor 1 (ART1) gene encoding a MYB-related (v-myb avian myeloblastosis viral oncogene homolog) TF, was up-regulated 3 217 folds, and was the highest up-regulated gene during be1-3 callus formation. Over expression of the ART1 gene caused defects in callus formation and shoot regeneration and inhibited seedling growth, indicating that the ART1 gene is a negative regulator of callus formation and shoot regeneration. This work not only enriches our knowledge about the transcriptional regulation mechanism of adventious shoot regeneration, but also provides valuable information on candidate TF genes associated with adventious shoot regeneration for future research.
