Abstract
Plant diseases caused by malignant and refractory phytopathogenic viruses have considerably restricted crop yields and quality. To date, drug design targeting functional proteins or enzymes of viruses is an efficient and viable strategy to guide the development of new pesticides. Herein, a series of novel eugenol derivatives targeting the tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) helicase have been designed using structure-based virtual screening (SBVS). Structure-activity relationship indicated that 2 t displayed the most powerful bonding capability (Kd = 0.2 μM) along with brilliant TMV helicase ATPase inhibitory potency (IC50 = 141.9 μM) and applausive anti-TMV capability (EC50 = 315.7 μg/mL), ostentatiously outperforming that of commercial Acyclovir (Kd = 23.0 μM, IC50 = 183.7 μM) and Ribavirin (EC50 = 624.3 μg/mL). Molecular dynamics simulations and docking suggested ligand 2 t was stable and bound in the active pocket of the TMV helicase by multiple interactions. Given these superior properties, eugenol-based derivatives could be considered as the novel potential plant viral helicase inhibitors. Furthermore, this effective and feasible SBVS strategy established a valuable screening platform for helicase-targeted drug development.

Abstract
Objective: To describe the distribution and establish reference intervals (RI) of daytime intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye health screening population of Handan. Methods: This cross-sectional study included subjects who participated in eye health screening at the Physical Examination Center of Handan First Hospital from May 2021 to June 2022. A complete general and ocular examination was performed, including measurements of visual acuity and IOP (using Goldmann tonometry), slit lamp microscopy, fundus photography, and anterior and posterior segment optical coherence tomography. Subjects with factors that could cause significant changes in IOP or affect the accuracy of IOP measurement, or with an inability to measure IOP were excluded. Simple random sampling was used to select participants, who were grouped by gender and age (18 to <30, 30 to <40, 40 to <50, 50 to <60, 60 to <70, and ≥70 years). Central corneal thickness and IOP at 8 to 11 o'clock in one eye of each participant were recorded. The independent sample t test and ANOVA were used for statistical analysis, and the RI of IOP values was calculated by x¯±1.96s. Results: A total of 9 310 subjects had their IOP measured, and 3 491 participants (3 491 eyes) were randomly selected from 7 886 healthy subjects. The age of the participants was (47.74±14.47) years old, ranging from 18 to 90 years old. There were 1 694 males and 1 797 females. The central corneal thickness of all participants was (525.56±49.39) μm. The daytime IOP of all participants was (15.40±2.54) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and the RI was 10.42 to 20.39 mmHg. The IOP was (15.49±2.58) mmHg for males and (15.29±2.49) mmHg for females, and the gender difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The RI of daytime IOP values was 10.43 to 20.54 mmHg for males and 10.41 to 20.18 mmHg for females. There were significant differences in daytime IOP [(15.13±2.58), (15.33±2.53), (15.49±2.50), (15.53±2.55), (15.39±2.62), and (15.28±2.52) mmHg] among 6 age groups (P<0.05). Conclusions: The distribution of daytime IOP in different gender and age groups in the eye health screening population of Handan and the RIs derived from the distribution were roughly the same as the international normal IOP RI (10 to 21 mmHg). It is recommended to refer to the RI of daytime IOP values of different genders and ages for clinical decision.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the occurrence of recompensation conditions in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis after entecavir antiviral therapy. Methods: Patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis with ascites as the initial manifestation were prospectively enrolled. Patients who received entecavir treatment for 120 weeks and were followed up every 24 weeks (including clinical endpoint events, hematological and imaging indicators, and others) were calculated for recompensation rates according to the Baveno VII criteria. Measurement data were compared using the Student t-test or Mann-Whitney U test between groups. Categorical data were compared by the χ (2) test or Fisher's exact probability method between groups. Results: 283 of the 320 enrolled cases completed the 120-week follow-up, and 92.2% (261/283) achieved a virological response (HBV DNA 20 IU/ml). Child-Pugh and MELD scores were significantly improved after treatment (8.33 ± 1.90 vs. 5.77 ± 1.37, t = 12.70, P < 0.001; 13.37 ± 4.44 vs. 10.45 ± 4.58, t = 5.963, P < 0.001). During the 120-week follow-up period, 14 cases died, two received liver transplants, 19 developed hepatocellular cancer, 11 developed gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, and four developed hepatic encephalopathy. 60.4% (171/283) (no decompensation events occurred for 12 months) and 56.2% (159/283) (no decompensation events occurred for 12 months and improved liver function) of the patients had achieved clinical recompensation within 120 weeks. Patients with baseline MELD scores > 15 after active antiviral therapy achieved higher recompensation than patients with baseline MELD scores ≤15 [50/74 (67.6%) vs. 109/209 (52.2%), χ (2) = 5.275, P = 0.029]. Conclusion: Antiviral therapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated cirrhosis. The majority of patients (56.2%) had achieved recompensation. Patients with severe disease did not have a lower probability of recompensation at baseline than other patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of skin allergic diseases remains a challenging research topic. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of Kushen recipe extractive (KS) gel on contact dermatitis (CD) of mouse. METHODS Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) model of mouse was established. Immunohistochemical method (ICH) and flow cytometry method (FCM) were used to detect CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes and explore the regulation effect of KS on the immune status of the organism. The expression status of eotaxin tissue was evaluated by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), ICH, and western blotting method. The survival rates of HaCaT cell and Fibroblasts affected by KS were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) method. The inhibitory effect of KS on eotaxin produced by HaCaT cell and FBs induced by TNF-α and interleukin (IL)-4 were evaluated using RT-PCR and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay methods. The inhibitory effect of KS on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and Signal transducers and activators of transcription 6 (STAT6) activation induced by TNF-α and IL-4 was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and western blotting methods. RESULTS We confirmed that KS shows favorable therapeutic effect on CD, which can obviously inhibit eotaxin expression and Eosinophils recruitment in allergic skin of mouse, as well as regulate the immune status of the organism. Furthermore, KS and its main effective components can inhibit TNF-α and IL-4 induced upregulation of eotaxin via the two signal transduction pathways, NF-κB and STAT6. CONCLUSIONS The great importance of traditional Chinese recipe KS is evidenced by its therapeutic effect and mechanism in ACD of mouse.

Abstract
High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity results in bone loss associated with an imbalanced gut microbiota and altered immune status. Probiotics are live microorganisms that are beneficial to the host and are important in maintaining bone health and gut homeostasis. In this study, the probiotic Lactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens (T3L) was isolated from traditional yak milk cheese produced in Lhasa and showed distinct acid and bile salt resistance as potential probiotics. Our data indicated that T3L not only reversed HFD-induced gut dysbiosis, as indicated by decreased Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes ratios but also reduced bone loss. The anti-obesity, microbiome-modulating, and bone-protective effects were transmissible via horizontal faeces transfer from T3L-treated mice to HFD-fed mice. The protective effects of T3L on bone mass were associated with regulatory T (Treg) cell-mediated inhibition of osteoclast differentiation. Our data indicate that T3L is a regulator of the gut microbiota and bone homeostasis in an animal model.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration, and increased bone fragility. High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity also results in bone loss, which is associated with an imbalanced gut microbiome. However, whether HFD-induced obesity or HFD itself promotes osteoclastogenesis and consequent bone loss remains unclear. In this study, we developed HFD-induced obesity (HIO) and non-obesity (NO) mouse models to evaluate the effect of HFD on bone loss. NO mice were defined as body weight within 5% of higher or lower than that of chow diet fed mice after 10 weeks HFD feeding. NO was protected from HIO-induced bone loss by the RANKL /OPG system, with associated increases in the tibia tenacity, cortical bone mean density, bone volume of cancellous bone, and trabecular number. This led to increased bone strength and improved bone microstructure via the microbiome-short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) regulation. Additionally, endogenous gut-SCFAs produced by the NO mice activated free fatty acid receptor 2 and inhibited histone deacetylases, resulting in the promotion of Treg cell proliferation in the HFD-fed NO mice; thereby, inhibiting osteoclastogenesis, which can be transplanted by fecal microbiome. Furthermore, T cells from NO mice retain differentiation of osteoclast precursors of RAW 264.7 macrophages ex vivo. Our data reveal that HFD is not a deleterious diet; however, the induction of obesity serves as a key trigger of bone loss that can be blocked by a NO mouse-specific gut microbiome.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the predictive value of lactic acid for the adverse prognostic outcomes in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure combined with infection. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 208 cases of ACLF combined with infection who were hospitalized from January 2014 to March 2016. Patients were divided into a survival group (n = 83) and a mortality group (n = 125) according to the results of a 90-day follow-up. The clinical data were statistically analyzed between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression with two categorical variables was used to analyze the independent risk factors for 90-day disease mortality and establish a new prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to evaluate the predictive value of lactic acid, the MELD score, the MELD-Na score, lactic acid combined with the MELD score, lactic acid combined with the MELD-Na score, and the new model. Results: The 90-day mortality rate of 208 cases of ACLF combined with infection was 60.1%. There were statistically significant differences in white blood cell count, neutrophil count, total bilirubin (TBil), serum creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), blood ammonia, the international normalized ratio (INR), lactic acid (LAC), procalcitonin, the MELD score, the MELD-Na score, hepatic encephalopathy (HE), acute kidney injury (AKI), and bleeding between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TBil, INR, LAC, HE, and bleeding were independent risk factors for 90-day mortality in patients with ACLF combined with infection. After the establishment of MELD-LAC, MELD-Na-LAC, and a new prediction model, the ROC curve revealed that the AUC (95% confidence interval) of MELD-LAC and MELD-Na LAC were 0.819 (0.759 ~ 0.870) and 0.838 (0.780 ~ 0.886), respectively, and was superior than the MELD score [0.766 (0.702 ~ 0.823)] and MELD-Na score [0.788 (0.726 ~ 0.843)], with P < 0.05, while the new model had an AUC of 0.924, the sensitivity of 83.9%, specificity of 89.9%, and accuracy of 87.8%, which was higher than LAC, MELD score, MELD-Na score, MELD-LAC, and MELD-Na-LAC (P < 0.01). Conclusion: Lactic acid is an independent risk factor for mortality in patients with ACLF combined with infection, and it improves the clinical predictive value of MELD and MELD-Na for the prognosis of mortality.

Abstract
Broad-spectrum β-lactam antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is a global healthcare burden1,2. In clinical strains, resistance is largely controlled by BlaR13, a receptor that senses β-lactams through the acylation of its sensor domain, inducing transmembrane signalling and activation of the cytoplasmic-facing metalloprotease domain4. The metalloprotease domain has a role in BlaI derepression, inducing blaZ (β-lactamase PC1) and mecA (β-lactam-resistant cell-wall transpeptidase PBP2a) expression3-7. Here, overcoming hurdles in isolation, we show that BlaR1 cleaves BlaI directly, as necessary for inactivation, with no requirement for additional components as suggested previously8. Cryo-electron microscopy structures of BlaR1-the wild type and an autocleavage-deficient F284A mutant, with or without β-lactam-reveal a domain-swapped dimer that we suggest is critical to the stabilization of the signalling loops within. BlaR1 undergoes spontaneous autocleavage in cis between Ser283 and Phe284 and we describe the catalytic mechanism and specificity underlying the self and BlaI cleavage. The structures suggest that allosteric signalling emanates from β-lactam-induced exclusion of the prominent extracellular loop bound competitively in the sensor-domain active site, driving subsequent dynamic motions, including a shift in the sensor towards the membrane and accompanying changes in the zinc metalloprotease domain. We propose that this enhances the expulsion of autocleaved products from the active site, shifting the equilibrium to a state that is permissive of efficient BlaI cleavage. Collectively, this study provides a structure of a two-component signalling receptor that mediates action-in this case, antibiotic resistance-through the direct cleavage of a repressor.

Abstract
In this study, a purified algal polysaccharide (P1) was isolated from Sargassum fusiforme and its structural characteristics and anti-photoaging activity were studied. Results showed that P1 had a molecular weight of 289 kDa and was mainly composed of mannuronic acid, guluronic acid and fucose with molar ratio of 7.67:2.35:1.00. The backbone of P1 was →4)-β-ManA-(1→4)-α-GulA-(1→4)-β-ManA-(1→4)-β-ManA-(1→4)-α-GulA-(1→4)-β-ManA-(1→3,4)-β-ManA-(1→ with a terminal group of α-Fucp-(1→ linked to O-3 position of →3,4)-β-ManA-(1→. In addition, P1 could inhibit the expressions of MMPs (MMP-1, MMP-3 and MMP-9) in the UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells, indicating that P1 could reduce collagen loss caused by UVB irradiation. It also reduced the contents of ROS and inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β), indicating that P1 could reduce the oxidative stress and inflammation response. Thus, Sargassum fusiforme polysaccharide P1 could be used as a potential functional food to relieve skin photoaging.

Abstract
Nostoc flagelliforme is a kind of terrestrial edible cyanobacteria with important ecological and economic value which has developed special mechanisms to adapt to drought conditions. However, the specific mechanism of lipidome changes in drought tolerance of N. flagelliforme has not been well understood. In this study, the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry were employed to analyze the lipidome changes of N. flagelliforme under dehydration. A total of 853 lipid molecules were identified, of which 171 were significantly different from that of the control group. The digalactosyldiacylglycerol/monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (DGDG/MGDG) ratio was increased. The amount of wax ester (WE) was sharply decreased during drought stress, while Co (Q10) was accumulated. The levels of odd chain fatty acids (OCFAs) were increased under dehydration, positively responding to drought stress according to the energy metabolism state. In conclusion, the lipidomic data corroborated that oxidation, degradation, and biosynthesis of membrane lipids took place during lipid metabolism, which can respond to drought stress through the transformation of energy and substances. Besides, we constructed a lipid metabolic model demonstrating the regulatory mechanism of drought stress in N. flagelliforme. The present study provides insight into the defense strategies of cyanobacteria in lipid metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the prevalence, awareness, treatment and control status of dyslipidemia among females aged ≥35 years old across China. Methods: Participants were selected by stratified multistage random sampling method in the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" National Science and Technology Support Project "Survey on the Prevalence of Important Cardiovascular Diseases and Key Technology Research in China" project. This study is a retrospective, cross-sectional study. A total of 17 418 females aged 35 years and over were included in the current study. The basic information such as age, medical history and menopause was collected by questionnaire. The blood lipid parameters were derived from clinical laboratory examinations. The prevalence of dyslipidemia and the rate of awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia were analyzed in females aged 35 years and over. Results: The age of participants was (56.2±13.0) years old, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 33.1% (5 765/17 418). The prevalence rates of high total cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C and high LDL-C were 9.7% (1 695/17 418), 11.1% (1 925/17 418), 10.9% (1 889/17 418) and 7.3% (1 262/17 418), respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia increased with age and the prevalence of dyslipidemia in women who were not married, Han, menarche age>16 years, obesity, central obesity, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension and family history of cardiovascular disease were higher than those without such characteristics (P<0.05). There were 10 432 (59.9%) menopausal females in this cohort and prevalence of dyslipidemia of these participants was 38.8% (4 048/10 432), which was higher than that of non-postmenopausal females (24.6%, 1 717/6 986) (P<0.05). The awareness rates, treatment rates and control rates of dyslipidemia were 33.9% (1 953/5 765), 15.1% (870/5 765) and 2.5% (143/5 765) respectively among females aged 35 years and over in China. Conclusion: The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Chinese females aged 35 years and over is high, and its awareness, treatment, and control rates need to be optimized.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drought is an important abiotic stress that constrains the growth of many species. Despite extensive study in model organisms, the underlying mechanisms of drought tolerance in Nostoc flagelliforme remain elusive. RESULTS We characterized the drought adaptation of N. flagelliforme by a combination of proteomics and qRT-PCR. A total of 351 differentially expressed proteins involved in drought stress adaptation were identified. It was found that the expression of several nutrient influx transporters was increased, including molybdate ABC transporter substrate binding protein (modA), sulfate ABC transporter substrate-binding protein (sbp) and nitrate ABC transporter (ntrB), while that of efflux transporters for toxic substances was also increased, including arsenic transporting ATPase (ArsA), potassium transporter (TrkA) and iron ABC transporter substrate-binding protein (VacB). Additionally, photosynthetic components were reduced while sugars built up during drought stress. Non-enzymatic antioxidants, orange carotenoid protein (OCP) homologs, cytochrome P450 (CYP450), proline (Pro) and ascorbic acid (AsA) were all altered during drought stress and may play important roles in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS). CONCLUSION In this study, N. flagelliforme may regulates its adaptation to drought stress through the changes of protein expression in photosynthesis, energy metabolism, transport, protein synthesis and degradation and antioxidation. HIGHLIGHTS • A total of 351 DEPs involved in adaptation to drought stress were identified. • Changes in the expression of six OCP homologs were found in response to drought stress. • Differential expression of transporters played an important role in drought stress adaptation. • Most PSII proteins were downregulated, while PSI proteins were unchanged in response to drought stress. • Sugar metabolism was upregulated in response to drought stress.

Abstract
Acetylation represents an extensively occurring protein post-translational modification (PTM) that plays a key role in many cellular physiological and biochemical processes. However, studies on PTMs such as acetylation of lysine (LysAc) in cyanobacteria are still rare. In this study, a quantitative LysAc approach (acetylome) on the strains of Nostoc flagelliforme subjected to different dehydration treatments was conducted. We observed that starch contents were significantly accumulated due to dehydration treatments, and we identified 2474 acetylpeptides and 1060 acetylproteins based on acetylome analysis. Furthermore, an integrative analysis was performed on acetylome and nontargeted metabolism, and the results showed that many KEGG terms were overlapped for both omics analyses, including starch and sucrose metabolism, transporter activity, and carbon metabolism. In addition, time series clustering was analyzed, and some proteins related to carbon metabolism and the ROS scavenging system were significantly enriched in the list of differentially abundant acetylproteins (DAAPs). These protein expression levels were further tested by qPCR. A working model was finally proposed to show the biological roles of protein acetylation from carbon metabolism and the ROS scavenging system in response to dehydration in N. flagelliforme. We highlighted that LysAc was essential for the regulation of key metabolic enzymes in the dehydration stress response.

Abstract
Obesity is closely related to dyslipidaemia, diabetes and other metabolic syndromes. Long-term consumption of a high-fat diet (HFD) is an important risk factor that can lead to obesity. In the current research, three Lactobacillus strains, namely, Loigolactobacillus coryniformis subsp. torquens T3 (T3), Lacticasebacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei M5 (M5), and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei X12 (X12), were tested to determine their inhibitory effects on HFD-induced obesity. The results showed that M5, T3, and X12 significantly decreased the body weight gain, Lee's index and adipose index. T3 showed significant effects on reducing serum TG levels to 0.92 mmol/ml and increasing HDL-C levels to 2.18 mmol/ml. The M5 treatment significantly reduced the serum TG level and leptin content to 1.11 mmol/ml and 3.7 ng/ml, respectively, and it increased the HDL-C level and adiponectin content to 2.35 mmol/ml and 7 ng/ml, respectively. M5 and T3 dramatically ameliorated hepatic steatosis in HFD-treated mice by reducing the liver index, lipid droplet number in the liver and TC levels in the liver. Gene expression of PPAR-γ and TNF-α was notably downregulated and FAS was upregulated by T3 and M5 treatment. Additionally, administration of M5 and T3 modified the diversity of the gut microbiota with increased OTU number, ACE index, and Chao1, and decreased the Shannon index and the Bacteroidetes /Firmicutes ratio. Overall, our results indicate that Lactobacillus may be used to prevent obesity and gut dysbiosis. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Lactobacillus from traditional Chinese foods showed strong anti-obesity effects on high-fat diet-fed mice through the regulation of adipocytokines. Additionally, administration of certain Lactobacilli modified the diversity of the gut microbiota. The results indicate that Lactobacillus may be promising functional materials in healthy foods.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the feasibility of navigation-guided nasal endoscopy for removal of the cavernous hemangioma of the orbital apex through the sphenoid approach. Methods: Retrospective case series study. From May 2012 to December 2019, 12 patients (12 eyes) with imaging findings of cavernous hemangioma in the orbital apex were collected at the Eye Hospital Affiliated to Nanchang University, including 3 males and 9 females aged 32 to 59 years. All patients underwent navigation-guided sinusoscopy through the sphenoid approach to remove the cavernous hemangioma of the orbital apex (video attached). Changes of visual function and complications after operation were analyzed. Results: In 3 patients without visual impairment, the postoperative visual function was still normal. Among the remaining 9 patients with preoperative visual impairment, visual function was fully recovered in 3 patients after operation, was improved in 2 patients, and had no change in 4 patients. There were no complications in 3 of the 12 patients, and 9 patients had transient, mildly limited intraocular rotation with diplopia after operation, which all returned to normal within 1 month. Conclusion: Navigation-guided sinus endoscopy through the sphenoid approach is effective and feasible in the removal of the cavernous hemangioma of the orbital apex.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate abnormal directional functional connectivity of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) in chronic tinnitus patients using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and to determine the relationship between the degree of this connectivity and tinnitus characteristics. Methods: The resting-state fMRI data of 40 patients with bilateral chronic tinnitus (12 males and 28 females, aged from 26 to 63(50.6±11.6) years) and 40 healthy controls with normal hearing (16 males and 24 females, aged from 26 to 70(45.9±12.4)years) were retrospectively enrolled from the Department of Otolaryngology, Nanjing First Hospital from January 2017 to January 2020. The bilateral NAc were selected as seeds to detect the directional functional connectivity with the whole brain, then the effective connectivity values between the two groups were compared using Granger Causality Analysis (GCA), and the correlation between the effective connectivity and the characteristics of tinnitus was calculated. Results: Compared with healthy controls, the effective connectivity from the left NAc to left middle frontal gyrus in patients with bilateral chronic tinnitus was increased [(1.0±0.2)vs(0.6±0.3)], the effective connectivity from the right NAc to left inferior frontal gyrus was enhanced [(0.9±0.3)vs(0.6±0.4)], the effective connectivity from the right middle temporal gyrus to left NAc was enhanced [(1.0±0.2)vs(0.5±0.3)], the effective connectivity from the right middle frontal gyrus to right NAc was also enhanced[(1.0±0.2)vs(0.5±0.3)](all P<0.05). After adjusting for age, gender, education level, and gray matter volume, positive correlations was observed between the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (THQ) scores and increased effective connectivity values from the left NAc to the left middle frontal gyrus (r=0.386, P=0.020). Additionally, enhanced effective connectivity values from the right middle frontal gyrus to the right NAc was also positively associated with tinnitus duration (r=0.390, P=0.019). Conclusion: The directional functional connectivity between the NAc and prefrontal cortex in patients with chronic tinnitus is enhanced.

Abstract
Terrestrial cyanobacteria, originated from aquatic cyanobacteria, exhibit a unique mechanism for drought adaptation during long-term evolution. To elucidate this diverse adaptive mechanism exhibited by terrestrial cyanobacteria from the post-translation modification aspect, we performed a global phosphoproteome analysis on the abundance of phosphoproteins in response to dehydration using Nostoc flagelliforme, a kind of terrestrial cyanobacteria having strong ecological adaptability to xeric environments. A total of 329 phosphopeptides from 271 phosphoproteins with 1168 phosphorylation sites were identified. Among these, 76 differentially expressed phosphorylated proteins (DEPPs) were identified for each dehydration treatment (30, 75, and 100% water loss), compared to control. The identified DEPPs were functionally categorized to be mainly involved in a two-component signaling pathway, photosynthesis, energy and carbohydrate metabolism, and an antioxidant system. We concluded that protein phosphorylation modifications related to the reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling pathway might play an important role in coordinating enzyme activity involved in the antioxidant system in N. flagelliforme to adapt to dehydration stress. This study provides deep insights into the extensive modification of phosphorylation in terrestrial cyanobacteria using a phosphoproteomic approach, which may help to better understand the role of protein phosphorylation in key cellular mechanisms in terrestrial cyanobacteria in response to dehydration.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is the third most malignant cancer occurring around the world. Effective prevention and treatment have been increasingly the focus of global attention. Long-term diet of fermented dairy inhibits proliferation of colon cancer cell, which is considered that not only live lactic acid bacteria but also the secreted exopolysaccharides exert the function. In this scenario, this study aimed to investigate the mechanism of growth inhibition on HT-29 cells induced in vitro by exopolysaccharides isolated from Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei M5L (M5-EPSs). HT-29 cells which were treated by a set of concentrations of M5-EPSs have been investigated of cell viability, characteristic changes, cell cycle distribution, and redox system. The results demonstrated that M5-EPSs treatments induced HT-29 cell apoptosis and resulted in upregulation of ROS levels and downregulation of antioxidant enzyme activities, leading to an imbalance in the oxidation system in HT-29 cells. In response to M5-EPSs, endogenous ER stress (ERS) markers, including GRP78, ATF4, and CHOP, were transcriptionally altered so that activating the ERS in HT-29 cells. After NAC treatment, the oxidative stress was inhibited, and the expression of GRP78 and CHOP was significantly decreased, indicating that oxidative stress can significantly affect the ERS pathway. Furthermore, it suggested that the occurrence of apoptosis was associated with Bcl-2 gene family. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that M5-EPSs can induce HT-29 cells apoptosis by destroying the redox system through activation of the ERS signaling pathway.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects and mechanism of mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) pathway in the energy production of hypoxic cardiomyocytes of rats regulated by tumor necrosis factor receptor associated protein 1 (TRAP1). Methods: The cardiomyocytes were isolated from 135 neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats (aged 1-3 d) and cultured for the following experiments. (1) Cells were collected and divided into normoxia blank control (NBC) group, hypoxia blank control (HBC) group, hypoxia+ TRAP1 over-expression control (HTOC) group, and hypoxia+ TRAP1 over-expression (HTO) group according to the random number table (the same grouping method below), with 1 bottle in each group. Cells in NBC group were cultured routinely, cells in HBC group were cultured in hypoxic condition for 6 hours after routine culture, cells in HTOC and HTO groups were respectively added with TRAP1 over-expression empty virus vector and TRAP1 over-expression adenovirus vector virus suspension for transfection for 48 hours after routine culture and then cultured in hypoxic condition for 6 hours. The protein expression of TFAM of cells in each group was detected by Western blotting. (2) Cells were collected and divided into NBC, HBC, HTOC, HTO, HTO+ TFAM interference control (HTOTIC), and HTO+ TFAM interference (HTOTI) groups, with 1 well in each group. Cells in the former 4 groups were dealt with the same methods as the corresponding groups in experiment (1). Cells in HTOTIC and HTOTI groups were respectively added with TFAM interference empty virus vector and TFAM interference adenovirus vector virus suspension for transfection for 48 hours, and the other processing methods were the same as those in HTO group. The content of ATP of cells in each group was determined by ATP determination kit and microplate reader, and the COX activity of cells in each group was determined by COX activity assay kit and microplate reader. (3) Cells were collected and divided into NBC group, normoxia+ sodium azide (NSA) group, HBC group, and hypoxia+ sodium azide (HSA) group, with 1 well in each group. Cells in NBC and HBC groups were respectively dealt with the same methods as the corresponding groups in experiment (1). Cells in NSA and HSA groups were respectively added with 32 nmol sodium azide at 30 min before experiment or hypoxia, and then cells in HSA group were cultured in hypoxic condition for 6 hours. The content of ATP was determined by the same method as above. The above three experiments were repeated for three times. Data were statistically analyzed with one-way analysis of variance and least significant difference test. Results: (1) Compared with that in NBC group, the protein expression of TFAM of cells in HBC group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with that in HBC group or HTOC group, the protein expression of TFAM of cells in HTO group was significantly increased (P<0.01). (2) Compared with 0.552±0.041 and 1.99±0.15 in NBC group, the COX activity (0.270±0.044) and ATP content (1.09±0.11) of cells in HBC group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with 0.269±0.042 and 1.17±0.12 in HBC group and those in HTOC group, the COX activity (0.412±0.032 and 0.404±0.016) and ATP content (1.75±0.06 and 1.69±0.07) of cells in HTO and HTOTIC groups were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with those in HTO and HTOTIC groups, the COX activity (0.261±0.036) and ATP content (1.23±0.07) of cells in HTOTI group were significantly decreased (P<0.01). (3) Compared with that in NBC group, the ATP content of cells in NSA and NBC groups was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with that in HBC group, the ATP content of cells in HSA group was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusions: TRAP1 can increase the COX activity of cardiomyocytes by raising the expression of TFAM, and finally alleviate the impairment in energy production of cardiomyocytes caused by hypoxia.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the incidence rate, influencing factors and prognosis of infection-induced acute renal injury (AKI) in patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). Methods: 516 cases with acute-on-chronic liver failure complicated with infection that were hospitalized in our hospital during 2014 to 2016 were retrospectively studied. General conditions and clinical characteristics of the patients were collected, and grouped according to the presence or absence of incidence and severity of AKI. General conditions, laboratory results, occurrence of complications and survival were compared and analyzed. Results: The main causes were HBV infection (67.8%) and alcoholic liver disease (20.0%). The most common sites of infection were abdominal cavity, lung and blood. Multivariate analysis showed that neutrophil count, TBIL, lactate and septic shock were independent risk factors for infection-induced AKI in ACLF patients. The cumulative mortality in patients with AKI after infection at 28, 90 and 360 days was significantly higher than those without AKI (51.6% and 20.5%, 70.2% and 40.3%, 73.4% and 45.9%; P < 0.01). In both groups, deaths had occurred mainly in the early (0 ~ 28 d) and middle (29 ~ 90 d) stage of follow-up period. In the late follow-up period (91-360 d), there was no statistically significant difference in mortality rate between the two groups. Conclusion: Infection is an important inducing cause of AKI in ACLF patients. The underlying liver disease and the severity of infection are significantly related to the infection-induced AKI in ACLF patients, and once AKI occurs after infection, the mortality rate of the patients is significantly increased.

Abstract
Objective: To assess the effects of clinical medicine on salt sensitive hypertension. Methods: The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CBM, WanFang Data, VIP and CNKI databases were searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on clinical medicine in treating salt sensitive hypertension from inception to December 2018. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and another investigator assessed the risk of bias included in the study. Then meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 16 RCTs studies involving 1 355 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) combined with diuretics could effectively reduce 24 h systolic blood pressure variability [mean difference (MD)=4.45, 95%CI: 3.47-5.43, P<0.001] and 24 h diastolic blood pressure variability (MD=3.71, 95%CI:2.83-4.59, P<0.001) in salt-sensitive hypertension patients. Angiotensin Ⅱ receptor antagonists (ARBs) combined with diuretics had no antihypertensive effect on salt-sensitive hypertension patients. Indapamide alone can reduce systolic blood pressure (MD=-14.70, 95%CI:-18.57--10.83, P<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (MD=-8.73, 95%CI:-11.57--5.89, P<0.001). The use of ACEIs alone in salt-sensitive hypertension patients can not reduce systolic pressure (MD=2.20, 95%CI:-1.48-5.88, P=0.240) and diastolic pressure (MD=2.95, 95%CI: 1.37~4.54, P<0.001). Amlodipine combined with metformin had therapeutic effect on salt-sensitive hypertension (RR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.14~1.33, P<0.001). Conclusions: ACEIs combined with diuretics can effectively reduce blood pressure variability in salt-sensitive hypertensive patients. The use of amlodipine in combination with metformin and indapamide alone have antihypertensive effect in salt-sensitive hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Objective: To observe how glutamine affect the skeletal muscle membrane repair in severely burned mice through promoting the mitsugumin 53 (MG53) dimerization in skeletal muscle and to explore its functional mechanism. Methods: (1) Animal experiments. A total of 179 BALB/c male mice aged 6 to 8 weeks were divided into sham injury group (n=43), burn group (n=73) and burn+ glutamine group (n=63) according to the random number table (the same grouping method below). Mice in sham injury group were sham injured on the back, and mice in burn group and burn+ glutamine group were inflicted with 30% total body surface area full-thickness scald (hereinafter referred to as burn) on the back. Mice in burn+ glutamine group were intragastrically administered with glutamine (1 mg/kg), and the other two groups were given the same amount of amino acid solution once per day for 14 days. On post burn hour 12, 10 mice from burn group were taken for preparation of burn serum, which is used in the following cell experiments. Blood samples were collected from the hearts to prepare serum from 10 mice in sham injury group immediately after burn and from 10 mice in burn group and burn+ glutamine group on post burn day (PBD) 5, 10, and 14, respectively. And then the whole gastrocnemius muscle was harvested after the mice were sacrificed. On PBD 10, the whole flexor brevis digitorum was harvested from 6 mice in the 3 groups respectively after the mice were sacrificed. On PBD 5, 10, and 14, the whole gastrocnemius muscle tissue was harvested from another 9 mice in the 3 groups respectively after the mice were sacrificed. The mass of the whole gastrocnemius muscle of mice was weighed. The total protein content of gastrocnemius muscle of mice was detected by coomassie brilliant blue method. The repair function of myolemma of flexor brevis digitorum of mice was detected by two-photon laser fiber membrane perforating. The serum content of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) of mice was determined with radioimmunoassay. The expressions of MG53 dimer and monomer in gastrocnemius of mice were determined with non-reductive electrophoresis-Western blotting. The protein expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress sign proteins CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in gastrocnemius of mice were determined with Western blotting. (2) Cell experiments. Mice skeletal muscle precursor cells C2C12 were cultured in vitro, and cells of the second passage were selected for the experiments. The cells were divided into normal control group, burn serum group, and burn serum+ glutamine group, with 3 dishes in each group and 1×10(3) cells in each dish. Cells in normal control group were cultured with 1 mL Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) with fetal bovine serum of volume fraction 10%, cells in burn serum group were cultured with 1 mL DMEM with burn serum of volume fraction 10%, and cells in burn serum+ glutamine group were cultured with 1 mL DMEM with burn serum of volume fraction 10% and 4 μL glutamine with a final molar concentration of 8 mmol/L. After 24 hours of culturing, the repair function of myocyte membrane after differentiation of skeletal muscle precursor cells in mice was detected with the same method before. Another cells were grouped and cultured as before, with 3 wells in each group and 1×10(5) cells in each well. After 24 hours of culturing, the expressions of MG53 dimer and monomer and endoplasmic reticulum stress marker proteins in the cells were detected as before. Data were processed with analysis of variance of factorial design, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference t test, and Student Newman Keuls test. Results: Animal experiments. (1) Compared with those in sham injury group, the mass and total protein content of gastrocnemius muscle of mice in burn group were significantly decreased on PBD 5, 10, and 14 (P<0.05). Compared with those in burn group, the mass and total protein content of gastrocnemius muscle of mice in burn+ glutamine group were significantly increased on PBD 5, 10, and 14 (P<0.05). (2) Compared with that in sham injury group (0.9±0.4), the fluorescence intensity of FM1-43 in myofiber of mice in burn group (7.8±0.4) was significantly increased on PBD 10 (t=7.75, P<0.05). Compared with that in burn group, the fluorescence intensity of FM1-43 in myofiber of mice in burn+ glutamine group (4.0±0.4) was significantly decreased on PBD 10 (t=-4.31, P<0.05). (3) Compared with that in sham injury group, the serum content of TNF-α and IL-6 of mice in burn group was significantly increased on PBD 5, 10, and 14 (P<0.05). Compared with that in burn group, the serum content of TNF-α and IL-6 of mice in burn+ glutamine group was significantly decreased on PBD 5, 10, and 14 (P<0.05). (4) Compared with 56.97±2.82, 44.89±4.72, 42.46±1.06, 14.26±0.99, 62.36±2.74, and 29.45±0.84 in sham injury group, the expressions of MG53 dimer and monomer in gastrocnemius of mice were significantly decreased in burn group on PBD 5, 10, and 14 (6.16±0.25, 26.09±1.22, 28.86±1.53, 5.63±0.25, 26.74±0.79, 4.41±0.52, P<0.05). Compared with those in burn group, the expression of MG53 dimer of gastrocnemius of mice in burn+ glutamine group was significantly increased on PBD 10 and 14 (36.79±1.44, 43.96±1.62), and the expression of MG53 monomer of gastrocnemius muscle of mice in burn+ glutamine group was significantly increased on PBD 14 (13.16±2.17, P<0.05). Compared with those in sham injury group, the protein expressions of CHOP and GRP78 in gastrocnemius muscle of mice in burn group were significantly elevated on PBD 5, 10, and 14 (P<0.05). Compared with those in burn group, the protein expressions of CHOP and GRP78 in gastrocnemius of mice in burn+ glutamine group were significantly reduced on PBD 5, 10 (P<0.05). Cell experiments. (1) Compared with that in normal control group (1.76±0.25), the fluorescence intensity of FM1-43 in cells in burn serum group (9.46±1.22) was significantly increased after 24 hours of culturing (t=12.28, P<0.05). Compared with that in burn serum group, the fluorescence intensity of FM1-43 in cells in burn serum+ glutamine group (4.71±0.45) was significantly decreased after 24 hours of culturing (t=-7.59, P<0.05). (2) The expressions of MG53 monomer of cells were similar in normal control group, burn serum group, and burn+ glutamine group after 24 hours of culturing (P>0.05). Compared with 58.5±1.8 in normal control group, the expression of MG53 dimer of cells in burn serum group was significantly decreased after 24 hours of culturing (14.1±1.4, P<0.05). Compared with that in burn serum group, the expression of MG53 dimer of cells in burn serum+ glutamine group was significantly increased after 24 hours of culturing (30.9±0.6, P<0.05). Compared with those in normal control group, the protein expressions of CHOP and GRP78 of cells were significantly elevated in burn serum group after 24 hours of culturing (P<0.05). Compared with those in burn serum group, the protein expressions of CHOP and GRP78 of cells were significantly reduced in burn serum+ glutamine group after 24 hours of culturing (P<0.05). Conclusions: Glutamine can promote MG53 dimerization by alleviating endoplasmic reticulum stress in severely burned mice. Thus it can accelerate skeletal muscle membrane repair, reduce the local inflammatory reaction of skeletal muscle and consumption of skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Hydroxycitrate from the fruit of Garcinia cambogia [i.e. (2S,3S)-2-hydroxycitrate] is the best-known inhibitor of ATP-citrate lyase. Well diffracting crystals showing how the inhibitor binds to human ATP-citrate lyase were grown by modifying the protein. The protein was modified by introducing cleavage sites for Tobacco etch virus protease on either side of a disordered linker. The protein crystallized consisted of residues 2-425-ENLYFQ and S-488-810 of human ATP-citrate lyase. (2S,3S)-2-Hydroxycitrate binds in the same orientation as citrate, but the citrate-binding domain (residues 248-421) adopts a different orientation with respect to the rest of the protein (residues 4-247, 490-746 and 748-809) from that previously seen. For the first time, electron density was evident for the loop that contains His760, which is phosphorylated as part of the catalytic mechanism. The pro-S carboxylate of (2S,3S)-2-hydroxycitrate is available to accept a phosphoryl group from His760. However, when co-crystals were grown with ATP and magnesium ions as well as either the inhibitor or citrate, Mg2+-ADP was bound and His760 was phosphorylated. The phosphoryl group was not transferred to the organic acid. This led to the interpretation that the active site is trapped in an open conformation. The strategy of designing cleavage sites to remove disordered residues could be useful in determining the crystal structures of other proteins.

Abstract
Insect fat body is an important intermediate metabolic organ that plays an important role in protein metabolism and detoxification. In order to study the effects of TiO2 NPs and phoxim on fat body protein synthesis through MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways in silkworms, we determined the effects of TiO2 NPs and phoxim, alone and in combination, on fat body protein content of silkworms, analyzed the gene expression profile of the fat body, and verified the expression of characteristic genes. We found that TiO2 NPs and phoxim alone increased the total protein content of the fat body, and up-regulated MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway genes. TiO2 NPs up-regulated the expression of two growth and development-related genes-insulin-like peptide and neuropeptide receptor B-by 5.17 and 3.89-fold, respectively. Phoxim up-regulated the expression of detoxification genes-P450, GST, and CarE2. Pretreatment with TiO2 NPs could reduce phoxim-increased total protein content and up-regulated MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway genes and detoxification genes; the activities of detoxification enzymes were consistent with the gene expression pattern. Our results showed that MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways both regulate fat body protein synthesis in silkworms, but the target proteins induced to express were different under different inducing factors. Our finding may provide a reference for investigating the mechanism of protein synthesis regulation through MAPK and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Abstract
PPARδ is highly expressed in skin, especially keratinocytes, and its expression is increased in psoriatic lesions. However, the potential role of PPARδ in the pathogenesis of psoriasis remains undefined. Mice treated with Imiquimod (IMQ) to induce psoriasis can be used to evaluate the pathogenesis of psoriasis, and this model has become one of the most important in vivo research tools for research on the disease. In the current study, we showed that PPARδ was highly expressed in the skin of IMQ-induced psoriasis mice. To further understand the impact of PPARδ in psoriasis, we used these mice in a series of experiments to evaluate the pathogenesis of psoriasis. We found that PPARδ was highly expressed in both psoriatic lesions and normal skin in IMQ-induced psoriasis mice. Furthermore, the expression of PPARδ-relevant lipases was also significantly increased. The PPARδ-selective antagonist GSK3787 ameliorated the observed inflammation in the skin of the experimental mice. Based on these results, PPARδ may be a potential target for the effective treatment of psoriasis.

Abstract
Protease-activated receptor 2(PAR2) is a member of protease-activated receptors(PARs). PAR2 distributed in tissues and cells(such as skin, airway epithelial cell, pancreas, etc.) has a broad biological effects, and is involved in pathogenesis of many diseases, such as mechanical pain, asthma, pain of pancreatic cancer, inflammation, pruritus, etc. Intervention of PAR2 will help us to identify the role of PAR2 in the mechanisms of diseases and in the development of new drugs. This article concentrates on the research progress of agonist, antagonist, and pepducin on PAR2.

Abstract
Mammalian cells have been widely used for the in vitro evaluation of the functional effect of allelic variants of cytochrome P450 (CYP). The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable mammalian cell line for the in vitro drug metabolism analysis of CYP variants. Three reported cell lines (COS-7, HepG2, 293T) and one fast-growing variant of the 293 cell line 293FT were transfected with vectors expressing green fluorescent protein or typical variants of CYP2C9, CYP2C19 or CYP2D6 to investigate the protein expression levels and the catalytic activity of expressed CYP allelic variants. The transfected 293FT cells had the highest protein expression level and exhibited the highest enzymatic activity, while HepG2 cells showed the lowest activity among the four tested cell lines. Simultaneously, 293FT cells still maintained the similar relative enzymatic ratio among three typical CYP2C9 variants to that of the commonly used COS-7 cells. In addition, 293FT cells could also be used for the in vitro functional evaluation of two other typical P450 proteins, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6. Therefore, the 293FT cell line is more suitable for the in vitro enzymatic activity analysis of typical P450 proteins than any other reported mammalian cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteinase-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) may be implicated in skin disorders. Intracellular calcium mobilization is a key step in PAR2-induced signaling. AIMS In this study, we investigated the effects of nifedipine, verapamil, and low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) on SLIGRL-NH₂-induced PAR2-mediated calcium mobilization within cells. METHODS The intracellular calcium concentration was measured with fluo-8, a fluorescence indicator for free Ca(2+). RESULTS Our results showed that SLIGRL-NH₂ induced a dose-dependent calcium influx. This calcium influx was completely blocked in HaCaT cells and significantly blocked by LMWH in HEK293/PAR2 cells. However, both nifedipine and verapamil failed to inhibit the SLIGRL-NH₂-induced calcium influx in either cell line. CONCLUSION These results indicate that the PAR2 activation-induced calcium mobilization was mediated by intracellular calcium stores but not by extracellular calcium present in the media.

Abstract
The interleukin-23/interleukin 17A (IL-23/IL-17A) cytokine axis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. In this study, we report the effects of topical calcipotriol, camptothecin, clobetasol and tazarotene on the treatment of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like inflammation, the development of which is dependent on the IL-23/IL-17A axis. IMQ-induced epidermal hyperplasia and inflammation in the BALB/c mouse ear were significantly inhibited following clobetasol treatment but not calcipotriol, camptothecin or tazarotene treatments. Real-time polymerase chain reaction showed that the mRNA levels of IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in ear skin were significantly decreased by clobetasol. In addition, we observed that calcipotriol, camptothecin and tazarotene failed to show any inhibitory effects on the IL-23/IL-17A/IL-22 axis. We also found that clobetasol treatment inhibited the proliferation of γδ T cells and C-C chemokine receptor type 6 (CCR6) expression induced by IMQ. Calcipotriol, camptothecin and tazarotene not only failed to inhibit this proliferation but also enhanced retinoic acid-related orphan receptor γ (RORγ) expression in IMQ-induced psoriasis-like inflammation. In conclusion, we suggest that clobetasol induces the relief of IMQ-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in a mouse model but that calcipotriol, camptothecin and tazarotene cannot. Therefore, we suggest that more in-depth studies on pharmacological effects of tazarotene, camptothecin and calcipotriol should be carried out.

Abstract
Two series of Na2O-CaO-SiO2-P2O5 glass-ceramics doped with NH4HF2 (G-NH4HF2) or CaF2 (G-CaF2) have been prepared by sol-gel method. The glass-ceramic phase composition and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS). The mechanical properties and thermal expansion coefficient were measured by a microhardness tester, an electronic tensile machine and a thermal expansion coefficient tester. The structure difference between these two glass-ceramics was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the in vitro bioactivity of the glass-ceramics was determined by in vitro simulated body fluid (SBF) immersion test. The hemolysis test, in vitro cytotoxicity test, systemic toxicity test and the implanted experiment in animals were used to evaluate the biocompatibility of the glass-ceramics. The mechanical properties of sample G-NH4HF2 are lower than that of sample G-CaF2, and the bioactivity of sample G-NH4HF2 is better than that of sample G-CaF2. The thermal expansion coefficients of these two glass-ceramics are all closer to that of Ti6Al4V. After 7 days of SBF immersion, apatites were induced on glass-ceramic surface, indicating that the glass-ceramics have bioactivity. The hemolysis test, in vitro cytotoxicity test and systemic toxicity test demonstrate that the glass-ceramics do not cause hemolysis reaction, and have no toxicity to cell and living animal. The implanted experiment in animals shows that bone tissue can form a good osseointegration with the implant after implantation for two months, indicating that the glass-ceramics are safe to serve as implants.

Abstract
Curcumin, a selective phosphorylase kinase inhibitor, is a naturally occurring phytochemical present in turmeric. Curcumin has been confirmed to have anti-inflammatory properties in addition to the ability to decrease the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in keratinocytes. The interleukin-23 (IL-23)/IL-17A cytokine axis plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Here, we report that topical use of a curcumin gel formulation strongly inhibited imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like inflammation, the development of which was based on the IL-23/IL-17A axis. IMQ-induced epidermal hyperplasia and inflammation in BALB/c mouse ear was significantly inhibited following curcumin treatment. Real-time PCR showed that mRNA levels of IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-22, IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α cytokines were decreased significantly by curcumin in ear skin, an effect similar to that of clobetasol. In addition, we found that curcumin may enhance the proliferation of epidermis γδ T cells but inhibit dermal γδ T cell proliferation. We inferred that curcumin was capable of impacting the IL-23/IL-17A axis by inhibiting IL-1β/IL-6 and then indirectly down-regulating IL-17A/IL-22 production. In conclusion, curcumin can relieve the IMQ-induced psoriasis-like inflammation in a mouse model, similar to the effects of clobetasol. Therefore, we have every reason to expect that curcumin will be used in the treatment of psoriasis in the future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opportunistic virus infection is one of the most common complications in renal transplant (RT) recipients. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and BK virus (BKV) are important pathogens and each of these infections affects the other. In contrast, there is only limited information on JC virus (JCV) infection and its relation to CMV infection in RT recipients. This prospective study investigated the rates of JCV and CMV infections and their risk factors and correlations. METHODS We studied 52 RT recipients. JCV and CMV were detected using nested qualitative polymerase chain reaction assays of urine. The clinical characteristics of JCV and CMV infection were compared and risk factors analyzed with the use of binary logistic regression. RESULTS JCV and CMV were detected in 40.4% and 34.6% of the RT recipients, respectively. Cyclosporine (CsA) was a risk factor for both JCV and CMV infection (odds ratio [OR] 7.187; P=.002; OR 4.182; P=.021); CMV infection was a risk factor for JCV infection (OR 3.900; P=.039). CONCLUSIONS JCV and CMV infections are common in RT recipients. CsA is a risk factor for both JCV and CMV infection. JCV infection is related to CMV infection.

Abstract
To study the enzyme kinetics of ligustilide metabolism and the effects of selective CYP450 inhibitors on the metabolism of ligustilide in liver microsomes of rat, a LC-MS method was established for quantitative analysis of ligustilide in liver microsomes incubation system with nitrendipine as internal standard. The determination m/z for ligustilide was 173, and for nitrendipine, 315. An optimum incubation system was found and various selective CYP inhibitors were used to investigate their inhibitory effects on the metabolism of ligustilide. The results showed that enzyme kinetics of ligustilide could be significantly inhibited by ketoconazole, trimethoprim and a-naphthoflavon but scarcely inhibited by omeprazole, 4-methylpyrazole and quinidine. Therefore, CYP3A4, CYP2C9 and CYP1A2 are the major isoenzyme participated in in vitro metabolism of ligustilide.

Abstract
Apical Membrane Antigen 1 (AMA1) and Merozoite Surface Protein 1 (MSP1) were produced as a recombinant fusion protein and formulated with the adjuvant Montanide ISA 720 with the aim of replicating the structure present in the parasite protein. A previous trial with this construct demonstrated the vaccine was safe and immunogenic but was associated with injection site reactogenicity. This Phase 1a dose-escalating, double blind, randomized, controlled trial of PfCP2.9/Montanide ISA 720 was conducted to evaluate alternative dose levels and vaccination schedules, with a pre-formulated vaccine that had undergone more in-depth and frequent quality control and stability analysis. The trial was conducted in seventy healthy Chinese malaria-naïve volunteers between January 2006 and January 2007. The objective was to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of 5, 20 and 50microg of PfCP2.9/ISA 720 under 2 different schedules. The most common adverse event was injection site tenderness (53%). The frequency and severity of adverse events was similar in both vaccination schedules. Antibody responses were induced and remained elevated throughout the study in volunteers receiving vaccine (p<0.001). Although high antibody titers as measured by ELISA to the PfCP2.9 immunogen were observed, biological function of these antibodies was not reflected by the in vitro inhibition of parasite growth, and there was limited recognition of fixed parasites in an immunofluorescence assay. At all three dose levels and both schedules, this formulation of PfCP2.9/ISA 720 is well tolerated, safe and immunogenic; however no functional activity against the parasite was observed.
