The Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase (SAGA) is an ancillary transcription initiation complex which is highly conserved. The ADA1 (alteration/deficiency in activation 1, also called histone H2A functional interactor 1, HFI1) is a subunit in the core module of the SAGA protein complex. ADA1 plays an important role in plant growth and development as well as stress resistance. In this paper, we performed genome-wide identification of banana ADA1 gene family members based on banana genomic data, and analyzed the basic physicochemical properties, evolutionary relationships, selection pressure, promoter cis-acting elements, and its expression profiles under biotic and abiotic stresses. The results showed that there were 10, 6, and 7 family members in Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana and Musa itinerans. The members were all unstable and hydrophilic proteins, and only contained the conservative SAGA-Tad1 domain. Both MaADA1 and MbADA1 have interactive relationship with Sgf11 (SAGA-associated factor 11) of core module in SAGA. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that banana ADA1 gene family members could be divided into 3 classes. The evolution of ADA1 gene family members was mostly influenced by purifying selection. There were large differences among the gene structure of banana ADA1 gene family members. ADA1 gene family members contained plenty of hormonal elements. MaADA1-1 may play a prominent role in the resistance of banana to cold stress, while MaADA1 may respond to the Panama disease of banana. In conclusion, this study suggested ADA1 gene family members are highly conserved in banana, and may respond to biotic and abiotic stress.

Objective:To explore the effect of complement component C1s on the proliferation,migration and adhesion of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)cells and on the growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice.Methods:The C1S mRNA ex-pression of ESCC tissues and adjacent normal tissues(ANTs)were analyzed using NCBI-GEO database.The C1s expression of ESCC cell lines was analyzed with RT-qPCR and Western blot.The knockdown or overexpression of C1s in ESCC cells lines was performed using C1s small interfering RNA(siRNA),C1s short hairpin RNA(shRNA)or C1s overexpression lentivirus,and the cell prolifera-tion was detected by CCK-8 assay,cell migration was detected by cell wound healing assay,cell adhesion was detected by cell-matrix adhesion assay,the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases MMP1 and MMP13 were detected by Western blot,and the effect of C1s on the growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice was detected by subcutaneous tumorigenesis assay in nude mice.The expression of CD34 in the xenograft tumors was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the formation of tumor microvessel was analyzed.Results:The expression of C1S mRNA in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in ANTs.Knockdown of C1s significantly suppressed proliferation,migration and cell-matrix adhesion of ESCC cells,as well as growth of xenograft tumors in nude mice,while overexpres-sion of C1s had the opposite effects.The expressions of MMP1 and MMP13 were decreased in ESCC cells TE-1 with C1s knockdown.Compared with control group,the microvessel of the xenograft tumors in the C1s overexpression group were more abundant.Conclu-sion:C1s is significantly upregulated in ESCC tissues,and promotes proliferation,migration,cell-matrix adhesion of ESCC cells,and the growth of xenograft tumors.C1s may play an important role in the occurrence and development of ESCC.

Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion and their regulatory effects of levels of peripheral blood Th17 cells and Treg cells.Methods Computer retrieval of CNKI,WanFang,VIP,SinoMed,FMRS,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Embase,Web of science and other databases were carried out.RCTS related to the regulation of Th17 and Treg cells by TCM in the treatment of recurrent spontaneous abortion,published from the establishment of the database to June 2023 were screened.Two reviewers evaluated the quality of the literature according to the Cochrane handbook.RevMan5.4 software was used for Meta-Analysis.Results A total of 10 studies that involved 1 052 patients were included.The Meta-Analysis results showed that compared to the control group,the effective rate[RR=1.20,95%CI(1.11,1.30),P＜0.000 01],live birth rate[RR=1.32,95%CI(1.16,1.50),P＜0.000 01]and the reduction of adverse drug reactions[RR=0.34,95%CI(0.14,0.83),P=0.02]were significantly improved by the intervention of TCM.After treatment with TCM,the expression of Th17 cells was decreased[MD=-0.71,95%CI(-1.01,-0.41),P＜0.000 01],and the expression of Treg cells was increased[SMD=1.21,95%CI(0.80,1.62),P＜0.000 01].The ratio of Th17/Treg cells was decreased[SMD=-2.62,95%CI(-4.09,-1.14),P=0.000 5].Conclusion TCM used for post-pregnancy or before and after pregnancy can significantly improve the clinical symptoms and live birth rate of patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion,wihch showed high safety.Moreover,TCM can reduce the expression of Th17 cells,up-regulate the expression of Treg cells and regulate the immune balance of Th17/Treg cells,which is conducive to embryonic development after pregnancy.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Platelet is the key factor in hemostasis and coagulation,its potential in inflammatory response and immune response has been widely concerned in recent years.A growing number of studies indicate that tissue damage in inflammatory bowel disease is not only the result of dysregulated immune response,but also the active participation of various other cellular systems,and platelet might play an important role in intestinal mucosal inflammation and immunity.This article reviewed the abnormal changes and possible mechanisms of platelet in inflammatory bowel disease,and the prospects of platelet as a specific treatment target for inflammatory bowel disease.

Objective:To observe the clinical evolution process and imaging characteristics of choroidal lesions in different subtypes of serpiginous choroiditis (SC), and to explore the clinical significance of subtype classification.Methods:A retrospective, uncontrolled and observational study. A total of 45 eyes of 25 SC patients diagnosed in Yunnan Eye Hospital from May 2009 to September 2021 were included in the study. According to the initial location of the lesion and fundus images, including fundus color photography, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), optical coherence tomography (OCT) and other examination results. SC was divided into peripapillary serpiginous choroiditis, macular serpiginous choroiditis and ampiginous choroiditis. According to the shape of the lesions at the first diagnosis, it can be divided into new lesions with only infiltrating edema, old lesions with only atrophy and recurrent lesions with coexistence of edema and atrophy. the imaging features, development and complications of different subtypes of ocular lesion were observed.Results:Among the 45 eyes of 25 cases, 15 cases were male and 10 cases were female, 20 cases of binocular and 5 cases of monocular, age was 42.3±5.7 years old. There were 21 eyes with active lesions, of which 5 eyes were new lesions and 16 eyes with recurrent lesions; 24 eyes were old lesions. Concurrent optic disc edema occurred in 3 eyes; mild vitreitis occurred in 5 eyes; retinal occurred vasculitis in 3 eyes; choroidal neovascularization occurred in 3 eyes. Among the 16 cases (64%, 16/25) of the peripapillary serpiginous choroiditis, 2 cases (2 eyes) were monocular, and 14 cases (28 eyes) were binocular. Active lesions were found in 16 eyes, of which patients with binocular lesions only one had active lesions. The choroidal lesions that were close to the optic disc or around the optic disc, expanded outwards centrifugally with the prolongation of the disease course, and can progress to the macula. The edge of the lesion was tortuous, with a geographic-like, amoeboid-like and finger-like, polypoid or propeller-like shape. Active lesions in FFA showed weak fluorescence in the early stage and strong fluorescence in the late stage; the old lesions showed weak fluorescence in the early stage and mottled fluorescence in the late stage, and mostly strong fluorescence on the edge. OCT showed thickening of active lesions and thinning of old lesions. Among the 4 cases (16.0%, 4/25) of macular type, 2 cases (2 monocular eyes) had active lesions; 2 cases (4 eyes) had lesion in both eyes, among them, 1 case (2 eyes) had old lesion, and the other case had alternate active lesions. The initial lesions were all located in the off-center of the macula, and most of them were disk-shaped and progressing centrifugally to the periphery. The FFA and OCT imaging findings of the lesions were similar to those of the peridisc type. Among the 5 cases (20.0%, 5/25) of ampiginous choroiditis, 1 case (1 eye) was monocular and 4 cases (8 eyes) were binocular. These lesions were multiple old lesions of varying sizes, gray-white with pigmentation, with clear borders in the posterior pole. Among them 4 eyes have new active lesions appeared near the old lesions. The old lesions showed weak fluorescence with clear borders, and the fluorescein leakage at the late edge formed a strong fluorescence ring; the active lesions showed weak fluorescent spots with blurred edges, and the fluorescence was slightly enhanced in the late stage. In old lesions, atrophy of the photoreceptor layer, RPE and choroid can be seen, and RPE hyperplasia in some areas.Conclusions:SC subtype is a classification of the location of the first lesion, but the characteristics of the repeated attack of this disease can lead to the annihilation of each subtype due to the continuous expansion of the lesion. The phenomenon that the fundus active lesions only occur in one eye that can explain the clinical manifestations of asymmetric morphology of binocular lesions. The characteristics of binocular subtype warn that the predilection site of the healthy eye should be paid attention to.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a slowly progressing hematopoietic cell disorder. Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) plays established roles in tumor initiation, progression, and chemotherapy resistance in a wide range of cancers, including leukemia.However, small-molecule inhibitors targeting SPHK1 in CML still need to be developed. This study revealed the role of SPHK1 in CML and investigated the potential anti-leukemic activity of hirsuteine (HST), an indole alkaloid obtained from the oriental plant Uncaria rhynchophylla, in CML cells. These results suggest that SPHK1 is highly expressed in CML cells and that overexpression of SPHK1 represents poor clinical outcomes in CML patients. HST exposure led to G2/M phase arrest, cellular apoptosis, and downregulation of Cyclin B1 and CDC2 and cleavage of Caspase 3 and PARP in CML cells. HST shifted sphingolipid rheostat from sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) towards the ceramide coupled with a marked inhibition of SPHK1. Mechanistically, HST significantly blocked SPHK1/S1P/S1PR1 and BCR-ABL/PI3K/Akt pathways. In addition, HST can be docked with residues of SPHK1 and shifts the SPHK1 melting curve, indicating the potential protein-ligand interactions between SPHK1 and HST in both CML cells. SPHK1 overexpression impaired apoptosis and proliferation of CML cells induced by HST alone. These results suggest that HST, which may serve as a novel and specific SPHK1 inhibitor, exerts anti-leukemic activity by inhibiting the SPHK1/S1P/ S1PR1 and BCR-ABL/PI3K/Akt pathways in CML cells, thus conferring HST as a promising anti-leukemic drug for CML therapy in the future.

Objective:To explore the effects of mothers' exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during pregnancy on their children's neurobehavioral development.Methods:In November 2009 to April 2010, a total of 221 pairs of mother-newborn pairs were recruited from two cooperative hospitals in Taiyuan, and their children were followed up at age two. High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the level of BPDE-DNA in cord blood leukocytes. The Neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA) was used to assess the neurodevelopment of newborns, and the Gesell Development Scale was used to measure neurodevelopmental indexes of 2-year-old children. NBNA includes behavior, active and passive tone, primitive reflexes and general assessment, with a total score of 40 points. The Gesell Developmental Schedules consisted of four sub-scales: motor development, adaptive behavior development, language development and personal-social behavior development. We used mean and standard deviation to describe continuous variables with normal distribution, median (interquartile range) to describe continuous variables with skewed distribution, and frequency and proportion to describe categorical variables. Restricted cubic spline models were applied to assess the dose-response relationships between maternal prenatal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure and children's neurobehavioral development at two years old. Generalized linear models were applied to evaluate the effect of exposure to maternal prenatal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exposure on children's neurobehavioral development at 0 and two years old.Results:The NBNA score was 38.0±0.8, and the scores of 2-year-old children's motor, adaptive, language and personal-social were 111.6±15.0, 110.5±14.6, 108.8±17.2 and 111.7±14.5, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, there is no dose-response association between the cord blood BPDE of pregnant women and neonatal NBNA scores, but there were dose-response associations between BPDE and scores of 2-year-old children's motor, adaptive, language and personal-social. A unit increase in cord blood ln (BPDE-DNA), the score of motor, adaptive, language and personal-social of 2-year-old children decreased on average by 4.54、6.29、8.41 and 7.02 points.Conclusion:Maternal exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons during pregnancy is associated with decreased children's neurobehavioral development at two years old.

Objective:To observe the clinical and imaging characteristics of acute idiopathic macular degeneration (AIM).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From March 2016 to January 2018, 5 eyes (5 AIM patients) in The Second People's Hospital of Yunnan Province were included in the study. Among them, there were 4 males (4 eyes) and 1 female (1 eye); all patients were monocular with the average age of 34.2 years. The course of illness from onset of symptoms to treatment was 4-22 days. All affected eyes were examined by BCVA, fundus color photography, OCT, FAF, and FFA. Among 5 eyes, 1 eye with optic disc vasculitis was given oral glucocorticoid treatment; 4 eyes were not interfered after the diagnosis.Results:The follow-up time was 6 months. During follow-up, BCVA, fundus color photography, and OCT examination were performed. The results were all a sudden decrease in monocular vision, accompanied by visual distortion or central dark spots. At the first visit, the BCVA was 0.1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.05, and 0.5; at the last follow-up, the BCVA of the affected eye was 0.8, 0.6, 0.5, 0.5, and 1.0, respectively. Fundus color photography showed that at the first diagnosis, all the affected eyes showed irregular round yellow-white lesions in the macular area, including 1 eye with small patches of hemorrhage and 1 eye with pseudopyous changes in the macular area. Two to three weeks after the initial diagnosis, the yellowish-white lesions and bleeding in the macular area were basically absorbed. The center of the lesion showed weak pseudopod-like fluorescence, and the surrounding area was surrounded by strong fluorescence in FAF examination. The irregular and strong fluorescence in the early macular area and accumulation of late fluorescein in FFA examination. One eye was receivied glucocorticoid therapy. The upper layer of the retinal nerve in the macular area was detached, and the inferior space showed focal strong reflective material in 3 eyes in OCT examination. At the first diagnosis, the retinal neuroepithelial layer was detached, the top of the RPE layer was irregular with strong reflective material, and the structure of the ellipsoid zone and the chimera zone was unclear; as the course of the disease prolonged, the outer retinal structure recovered.Conclusions:AIM is characterized by inflammatory exudative changes in the outer layer of the retina in the macular area; FFA is characterized by strong subretinal disc-like fluorescence or multifocal weak fluorescence in the macular area; OCT mainly manifests as neuroepithelial detachment and changes in the outer retina and RPE, The structure can be restored by itself.
