At present, with the development of mitochondrial genomics, it is helpful to understand the phylogenetic relationship from the mitogenomic level. The complete mitochondrial genome of Chthamalus challengeri was presented. The genome is a circular molecule of 15 358 bp. Compared with other species in Balanomorpha, the non-coding region is longer, while the length of the genes is similar to the other species. The overall A+T content of the mitochondrial genome of C. challengeri is 70.5%. There are variations of initiation and stop codons in the known Balanomorpha mitochondrial genomes. The C. challengeri and C. antennatus within the same genus share the identical gene arrangement. However, the gene arrangement of different genera in Chthamalidae is different, as there is a translocation between two tRNA genes and an inversion involving a large gene block. In particular, both srRNA and lrRNA of the two species in Chthamalus are encoded in the heavy strand, differing from the former Balanomorpha species. The topology and gene arrangement in Chthamalidae support each other. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the Chthamalidae is monophyletic, while the Balanidae and Archaeobalanidae are polyphyletic.展开更多

The research on enhancing the efficacy of therapy for lung cancer is significant. A resent research found that as a subunit of ESCRT-III, CHMP4C functioned to retard abscission timing to coordinate midbody resolution and prevent accumulation of DNA damage in the abscission checkpoint through phosphorylated by AuroraB. In the current study, we evaluated the possible mechanism of the effects of CHMP4C inhibition on cell cycle and cell survival in A549 cells. We found that CHMP4C knockdown caused lagging S phase in cell cycle through enhancing the phosphorylation of Rb, raising the expression of cyclin B1-cdc2 and suppressing the activation of cyclin A. Meanwhile, CHMP4Cdeletion depressed cell survival via decreasing cell viability and increasing caspase 3/7 activity. This study may promote new significant reference and advance for the mechanism underlying specific function of CHMP4C as well as further research on enhancing therapy effect on non-small lung cancer.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Castleman’s disease(CD),also known as vascular follicular lymphadenopathy is a rare proliferative disease of lymphoid tissue of unknown etiology that is clinically classified as unicentric CD(UCD) or multicentric CD(MCD) depending on lymph node involvement.At present,idiopathic MCD(iMCD) is treated with interleukin-6 inhibitors,but some patients have poor clinical outcomes.This paper reports on a case of iMCD that achieved a good therapeutic effect after treatment with glucocorticoids combined with tofacitinib.The relevant data are summarized and reported below.CASE SUMMARY This paper reports on a case of MCD in a 49-year-old female with persistent peritoneal effusion as the first manifestation and combined with multiple lymphadenopathies.Lymph node biopsy showed Castleman’s disease-like changes.The ascites subsided after treatment with glucocorticoids and tofacitinib,indicating that the treatment was effective.CONCLUSION The combination of glucocorticoids with tofacitinib is an effective regimen for the treatment of CD.
文摘BACKGROUND Primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS)is an autoimmune disease,and renal involvement has been considered to be one of the systemic complications of pSS.Patients who have sjogren's syndrome with renal disease as the first manifestation and no exocrine gland involvement or autoantibodies can be missed clinically.CASE SUMMARY We here in report an unusual case of a primary Sjogren's syndrome in a 43-yearold female who had minimal lesion nephropathy as the initial presentation,and the patient was negative for serum anti-SSA and anti-SSB antibodies and did not have signs of exocrine gland involvement.The patient’s Sjogren's syndrome was confirmed by a minor salivary gland biopsy(MSGB)and a filter paper test.the patient’s oedema subsided,and the patient’s urinary protein resolved,showing that the treatment was effective.CONCLUSION MSGB should be considered if pSS is suspected in patients who do not have the typical pSS symptoms or who are positive for the specific autoantibodies.
文摘BACKGROUND As an autoimmune disease,systemic lupus erythaematosus(SLE)can affect multiple systems of the body and is mainly treated by steroids and immunosuppressive agents.SLE results in a long-term immunocompromised state with the potential of infection complications(e.g.,bacterial,fungal and viral infections).Abdominal pain or acute abdomen are frequently the only manifestations of SLE at disease onset or during the early stage of the disease course.Thus,multidisciplinary collaboration is required to identify these patients because timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial for improving their prognosis.CASE SUMMARY Herein,we reported a case of an SLE patient with visceral varicella that was identified after the onset of abdominal pain.The 16-year-old female patient with SLE was admitted to our hospital due to initial attacks of abdominal pain and intermittent fever.The patient’s condition rapidly became aggravated within a short time after admission,with large areas of vesicular rash,severe pneumonia,respiratory failure,shock,and haematologic system and hepatic function impairment.Based on multidisciplinary collaboration,the patient was diagnosed with visceral disseminated varicella and was administered life support,antiviral(acyclovir),immunomodulatory(intravenous injection of human immunoglobulin),anti-infection(vancomycin)and anti-inflammatory(steroid)therapies.After treatment,her clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators gradually improved,and the patient was discharged.CONCLUSION SLE patients long treated with steroids and immunosuppressive agents are susceptible to various infections.Considering that visceral varicella with abdominal pain as the initial presentation is characterized by rapid progression and often coexists with serious complications,prompt diagnosis and early antiviral therapy are critical to prevent severe life-threatening complications.

文摘The role that visual discriminative ability plays among giant pandas in social communication and individual discrimination has received less attention than olfactory and auditory modalities.Here,we used an eye-tracker technology to investigate pupil fixation patterns for 8 captive male giant pandas Ailuropoda melanoleuca.We paired images(N=26)of conspecifics against:1)sympatric predators(gray wolves and tigers),and non-threatening sympatric species(golden pheasant,golden snub-nosed monkey,takin,and red panda),2)conspecifics with atypical fur colora-tion(albino and brown),and 3)zookeepers/non-zookeepers wearing either work uniform or plain clothing.For each session,we tracked the pan-da's pupil movements and measured pupil first fixation point(FFP),fixation latency,total fixation count(TFC),and duration(TFD)of attention to each image.Overall,pandas exhibited similar attention(FFPs and TFCs)to images of predators and non-threatening sympatric species.Images of golden pheasant,snub-nosed monkey,and tiger received less attention(TFD)than images of conspecifics,whereas images of takin and red panda received more attention,suggesting a greater alertness to habitat or food competitors than to potential predators.Pandas'TFCs were greater for images of black-white conspecifics than for albino or brown phenotypes,implying that familiar color elicited more interest.Pandas reacted differently to images of men versus women.For images of women only,pandas gave more attention(TFC)to familiar combinations(uniformed zookeepers and plain-clothed non-zookeepers),consistent with the familiarity hypothesis.That pandas can use visual perception to discriminate intra-specifically and inter-specifically,including details of human appearance,has applications for panda conservation and captive husbandry.
