METHODS: Seventy-two ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal group, CCl4-induced model group, low Se-enriched lactobacillus treatment group (L-Se group), and high Se-enriched lactobacillus treatment group (H-Se group). During a 3-wk experimental period, the common complete diet was orally provided daily for normal group and model group, and the mice in L-Se and H-Se groups were given a diet with 2 and 4 mg of organoselenium from Se-enriched lactobacillus per kg feed, respectively. From the 2nd wk of experiment, the model group, L-Se group, and H-Se group received abdominal cavity injection of olive oil solution containing 500 mL/L CCl4 (0.07 mL/100 g body mass) to induce liver injury, and the normal group was given olive oil on every other day for over 2 wk. In the first 2 wk post injection with CCl4, mice in each group were killed. The specimens of blood, liver tissue, and macrophages in abdominal cavity fluid were taken. Then the activities of the following liver tissue injury-associated enzymes including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) content were assayed. Changes of phagocytic rate and phagocytic index in macrophages were observed with Wright-Giemsa stain. Plasma TNF-α level was measured by radioimmunoassay. The level of intracellular free Ca^2+ ([Ca^2+]i) in hepatocytes was detected under a laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS: During the entire experimental period, the AST and ALT activities in liver were greatly enhanced by CCl4 and completely blunted by both low and high doses of Se-enriched lactobacillus. The Se-enriched lactobacillus- protected liver homogenate GSH-Px and SOD activities were higher or significantly higher than those in model group and were close to those in normal group. CCl4 significantly increased MDA content in liver homogenates, while administration of Se-enriched lactobacillus prevented MDA elevation. Phagocytic rate and phagocytic index of macrophages decreased after CCl4 treatment compared to those in normal control, but they were dramatically rescued by Se-enriched lactobacillus, showing a greatly higher phagocytic function compared to model group. CCl4 could significantly elevate plasma TNF-α and hepatocyte [Ca^2+]i level, which were also obviously prevented by Se-enriched lactobacillus. CONCLUSION: Se-enriched lactobacillus can intervene in CCl4-induced liver injury in mice by enhancing macrophage function activity to keep normal and beneficial effects, elevating antioxidant-enzyme activities and reducing lipid peroxidation reaction, inhibiting excessive release of TNF-α, preventing the dramatic elevation of [Ca^2+]i in hepatocytes.展开更多

As a preclinical model, endotoxemia is an important tool to study the pathophysiology of sepsis and septic shock. In this review, we discussed aspects of endotoxemia as an experimental model in sepsis research, including different techniques associated with the purification of the endotoxin of Escherichia coli, serotype dependency and dosage dependency of the experimental results.展开更多

High lethality of sepsis cases calls for a detailed and critically important study of the pathophysiology of sepsis. In this review, we discuss pathomechanisms of sepsis and the role of cytokines that are released in sepsis. We propose that the systemic levels of cytokines are not always reflecting the pathological picture and the immune status of the patient. One of the emerging approaches which may bring an effective treatment strategy exploits the endocannabinoid system for its immunomodulatory properties. Following from that, the research in this particular field is very important as it can bring understanding behind the complicated pathophysiology of sepsis.展开更多

However, the evitable signal crosstalk which is caused by the imperfect RF feedback chain isolation usually damages the self-interference cancelation(SIC) performance. To deal with this problem, firstly, we analyze the impact of RF feedback chain isolation on SIC performance. Then a digital preprocessing scheme with RF feedback chain is proposed in the multiple-antenna CCFD architecture. Using both analytical and experimental methods, we find that the proposed scheme achieves a better performance on SIC.展开更多

文摘AIM: To study the protective effects and mechanisms of Se-enriched lactobacillus on liver injury caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in mice. METHODS: Seventy-two ICR mice were randomly divided into four groups: normal group, CCl4-induced model group, low Se-enriched lactobacillus treatment group (L-Se group), and high Se-enriched lactobacillus treatment group (H-Se group). During a 3-wk experimental period, the common complete diet was orally provided daily for normal group and model group, and the mice in L-Se and H-Se groups were given a diet with 2 and 4 mg of organoselenium from Se-enriched lactobacillus per kg feed, respectively. From the 2nd wk of experiment, the model group, L-Se group, and H-Se group received abdominal cavity injection of olive oil solution containing 500 mL/L CCl4 (0.07 mL/100 g body mass) to induce liver injury, and the normal group was given olive oil on every other day for over 2 wk. In the first 2 wk post injection with CCl4, mice in each group were killed. The specimens of blood, liver tissue, and macrophages in abdominal cavity fluid were taken. Then the activities of the following liver tissue injury-associated enzymes including glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase (SOD), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) content were assayed. Changes of phagocytic rate and phagocytic index in macrophages were observed with Wright-Giemsa stain. Plasma TNF-α level was measured by radioimmunoassay. The level of intracellular free Ca^2+ ([Ca^2+]i) in hepatocytes was detected under a laser scanning confocal microscope. RESULTS: During the entire experimental period, the AST and ALT activities in liver were greatly enhanced by CCl4 and completely blunted by both low and high doses of Se-enriched lactobacillus. The Se-enriched lactobacillus- protected liver homogenate GSH-Px and SOD activities were higher or significantly higher than those in model group and were close to those in normal group. CCl4 significantly increased MDA content in liver homogenates, while administration of Se-enriched lactobacillus prevented MDA elevation. Phagocytic rate and phagocytic index of macrophages decreased after CCl4 treatment compared to those in normal control, but they were dramatically rescued by Se-enriched lactobacillus, showing a greatly higher phagocytic function compared to model group. CCl4 could significantly elevate plasma TNF-α and hepatocyte [Ca^2+]i level, which were also obviously prevented by Se-enriched lactobacillus. CONCLUSION: Se-enriched lactobacillus can intervene in CCl4-induced liver injury in mice by enhancing macrophage function activity to keep normal and beneficial effects, elevating antioxidant-enzyme activities and reducing lipid peroxidation reaction, inhibiting excessive release of TNF-α, preventing the dramatic elevation of [Ca^2+]i in hepatocytes.

文摘6a-Hydroxylup-20(29)-en-3-on-28-oic acid(1),a natural triterpenoid,was found to possess the ability in a dose-dependent manner inhibiting hormone-induced adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes,and restoring glucose consuming ability in dexamethasone(DXM)-induced insulin resistant 3T3-L1 adipocytes.Compound 1 was also found to ameliorate DXM-induced adipocyte dysfunction in lipolysis and adipokine secretion.Mechanistic studies revealed that 1 inhibited adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes via down-regulating hormone-stimulated gene transcription of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor c and CCAAT-enhancer-binding protein alpha which are key factors in lipogenesis,and restored DXM-impaired glucose consuming ability in differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes via repairing insulin signaling pathway and activating down-stream signaling transduction by phosphorylation of signaling molecules PI3K/p85,Akt2 and AS160,thus leading to increased translocation of glucose transporter type 4 and transportation of glucose.

文摘Polylactic acid(PLA)has been extensively applied in the fields of biology and renewable biodegradable materials because of its superior biodegradability.PLA has excellent potential as a renewable biodegradable adsorbent in wastewater treatment.However,its poor photocatalytic properties have hindered its practical application.In this study,polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVPP)or glutaraldehyde(GA)was utilized as an adhesive agent to prepare Ag/AgCl/PLA photocatalysts with highly efficient visible light photocatalysis on a PLA fabric by utilizing the electron beam irradiation method.The photocatalytic activities of the Ag/AgCl/PLA samples were examined under visible light irradiation to analyze the degradation of methylene blue(MB)and chloramphenicol(CPL).Our experimental results demonstrate that the nanomaterial Ag/AgCl was uniformly distributed on the PLA fiber surface;this can be attributed to the effects of the crosslinking PVPP or GA.Under electron beam irradiation,adding crosslinking PVPP(or GA)is beneficial to the loading of Ag/AgCl onto the PLA.For the composite Ag/AgCl/PLA,the degradation rate for MB was as high as 97% after 150 min of visible light irradiation.The addition of 4 mg/ml of Ag/AgCl solution resulted in the greatest photocatalytic activity for CPL,and we advanced the possible degradation pathways of CPL with the best sample.Additionally,the as-prepared composite Ag/Ag Cl/PLA exhibited favorable antibacterial activity against E.coli and S.aureus,with a bacterial removal rate of >77%.

文摘Cotton fibers are the main raw materials of the textile industry.Exogenous superior fiber genes have been introduced into upland cotton to develop high-yield cultivars with excellent fiber quality.We used a single chromosomal segment on the chromosome A07 substitution line SL7,with high fiber strength,to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying its fiber quality.RNA-seq and KEGG analysis showed that 70 differentially expressed genes were enriched in plant hormone transduction pathways,including auxin,ethylene and abscisic acid,in fibers at 10 days post-anthesis(DPA).Among these,fiberdevelopment related transcription factors MYB and NAC,including Gh_A11G0981(MYB108),Gh_A03G0887(NAC029),and Gh_A08G1691(NAC021),were significantly upregulated in SL7,as were numerous cellulose synthase-like(CSL)genes involved in non-cellulose polysaccharide and cell wall synthesis.The hemicellulose content of SL7 was significantly higher than that of L22,an upland cotton cultivar.These results suggest that key genes in the introgressed chromosomal segment of SL7 regulate the expression of transcription-factor genes via hormone-transduction pathways,thereby inducing the expression of genes involved in secondary wall synthesis and ultimately improving fiber quality.This study has shed light on the molecular mechanism of fiber development and will contribute to the improvement of fiber quality of upland cotton by molecular breeding.

文摘Reviews The Dectin-1 cluster comprises seven members:CLEC-12A,CLEC-12B,CLEC-1A,CLEC-7A,CLEC-2,CLEC-9A and OLR1.These members have been demonstrated to be involved in the tumorigenesis,progression,and metastasis of several cancers.However,little is known about their roles in human lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD).The expression patterns of the Dectin-1 cluster were analyzed via the ONCOMINE and GEPIA databases.We evaluated the prognostic value of the Dectin-1 cluster in patients with LUAD using the Kaplan-Meier plotter and GEPIA.Differential expression was validated with the EMBL-EBI database,and protein expression was analyzed with the HPA database.In addition,protein-protein interaction network,GO,and KEGG analyses were conducted.Finally,the correlations between CLEC-12A and immune molecules(immune inhibitors and MHC molecules)were investigated via TISIDB and GEPIA.The expression levels of Dectin-1 cluster genes were downregulated in LUAD tissues compared to those in normal lung tissues.The expression levels of CLEC-12A,CLEC-12B,CLEC-2,and CLEC-9A correlated with tumor stage,and CLEC-12A and CLEC-12B were significantly associated with survival in patients with LUAD.The seven genes mostly participated in immune regulation processes and were involved in autoimmune disorders and hematological malignancies.Finally,correlation analyses revealed CLEC-12A expression was associated with most immune inhibitors and MHCs.CLEC-12A was positively related to PD-1,PD-L1,PD-L2,CTLA4,TIM3,and LAG3.In conclusion,our findings suggest that CLEC-12A and CLEC-12B can be used as prognostic biomarkers in LUAD.CLEC-12A expression was associated with immune checkpoint molecules,and CLEC-12A may be a potential assistant target to improve the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors immunotherapy.
文摘The high prevalence of sepsis in intensive care units and emergency rooms, along with the high lethality of the sepsis cases makes the study of pathophysiology of sepsis critically important. As a preclinical model, endotoxemia is an important tool to study the pathophysiology of sepsis and septic shock. In this review, we discussed aspects of endotoxemia as an experimental model in sepsis research, including different techniques associated with the purification of the endotoxin of Escherichia coli, serotype dependency and dosage dependency of the experimental results.
文摘Despite the advances in the therapeutic approaches, health care protocols and policies, sepsis continues to be an important problem in clinical medicine. High lethality of sepsis cases calls for a detailed and critically important study of the pathophysiology of sepsis. In this review, we discuss pathomechanisms of sepsis and the role of cytokines that are released in sepsis. We propose that the systemic levels of cytokines are not always reflecting the pathological picture and the immune status of the patient. One of the emerging approaches which may bring an effective treatment strategy exploits the endocannabinoid system for its immunomodulatory properties. Following from that, the research in this particular field is very important as it can bring understanding behind the complicated pathophysiology of sepsis.

文摘By employing a radio frequency(RF) feedback chain, the self-interference can be canceled efficiently in co-time co-frequency full duplex(CCFD). However, the evitable signal crosstalk which is caused by the imperfect RF feedback chain isolation usually damages the self-interference cancelation(SIC) performance. To deal with this problem, firstly, we analyze the impact of RF feedback chain isolation on SIC performance. Then a digital preprocessing scheme with RF feedback chain is proposed in the multiple-antenna CCFD architecture. Using both analytical and experimental methods, we find that the proposed scheme achieves a better performance on SIC.
