circRNA及其调控动物骨骼肌发育研究进展

环状RNA(circular RNA,circRNA)是一类反向剪接形成的闭合环状RNA分子,广泛存在于生物体内,近年来成为非编码RNA中的研究热点。骨骼肌在生物体中起到协调运动的作用,是维持体内正常代谢和内分泌的器官之一。随着测序技术和生物信息学分析技术的发展,circRNA在动物骨骼肌发育中的功能和调控机制逐渐被揭示。本文就当前circRNA的分子调控机制类型、circRNA经典研究思路及功能研究方法以及circRNA参与骨骼肌正常发育与骨骼肌疾病发生调控的研究进展进行了综述,以期为进一步深入研究circRNA参与骨骼肌生长发育调控的遗传机制以及circRNA相关研究方法提供参考。

猪肉质的评定指标及测定技术

随着生活条件的提高,人们对猪肉品质的追求也不断提高。然而,在非洲猪瘟的巨大冲击下,现代化、集约化养殖企业主要追求数量和生产速度的复工复产,而更多忽略了肉质的选育和提高,导致猪肉肉质总体呈现下降趋势。因此,了解猪肉肉质的评定指标和准确的测定方式,对肉质的客观评定和品种肉质改良速度的提高有直接影响。肉的食用品质主要包括肉的风味、质构、嫩度和多汁性等[1],肉质是一个综合性的复杂指标,包括肌肉肉色、pH、嫩度、大理石纹、滴水损失、熟肉率、剪切力、系水力、电导率、挥发性盐基氮和肌内脂肪含量测定等。文内就猪肉肉质的各个评定指标和相应的测定技术进行了阐述。

Protective effects of sodium butyrate on rotavirus inducing endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis via PERK-eIF2αsignaling pathway in IPEC-J2 cells

Background:Rotavirus(RV)is a major pathogen that causes severe gastroenteritis in infants and young animals.Endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress and subsequent apoptosis play pivotal role in virus infection.However,the protective mechanisms of intestinal damage caused by RV are poorly defined,especially the molecular pathways related to enterocytes apoptosis.Thus,the aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of sodium butyrate(SB)on RV-induced apoptosis of IPEC-J2 cells.Results:The RV infection led to significant cell apoptosis,increased the expression levels of ER stress(ERS)markers,phosphorylated protein kinase-like ER kinase(PERK),eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha(eIF2α),caspase9,and caspase3.Blocking PERK pathway using specific inhibitor GSK subsequently reversed RV-induced cell apoptosis.The SB treatment significantly inhibited RV-induced ERS by decreasing the expression of glucose regulated protein 78(GRP78),PERK,and eIF2α.In addition,SB treatment restrained the ERS-mediated apoptotic pathway,as indicated by downregulation of C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP)mRNA level,as well as decreased cleaved caspase9 and caspase3 protein levels.Furthermore,siRNA-induced GPR109a knockdown significantly suppressed the protective effect of SB on RV-induced cell apoptosis.Conclusions:These results indicate that SB exerts protective effects against RV-induced cell apoptosis through inhibiting ERS mediated apoptosis by regulating PERK-eIF2αsignaling pathway via GPR109a,which provide new ideas for the prevention and control of RV.

Bilateral Choroidal Occlusion in Antiphospholipid Syndrome Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

This article reports a rare case of bilateral choroidal occlusion that occurred in a 24-year-old woman with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This young lady concurred with aorta ventralis thrombosis and bilateral iliac artery occlusion when presented, and experienced a rapid deterioration of vision. She also has a history of recurrent miscarriage. Corticosteroid,immunosuppression and anticoagulation therapy were administered. Patients with APS associated with SLE are at risk for thrombotic phenomena, which may affect the ocular vessels of all sizes, including choroidal vessel.Our case alerts ophthalmologists and rheumatologists that bilateral choroidal occlusion may indeed be developed in patients with APS associated with SLE, and is a potential cause of visual morbidity.

Phacoemulsification,Intraocular Lens Implantation,Goniosynechialysis,and Pseudo-Pupilloplasty for Refractory Acute Primary Angle Closure with Atonic Dilated Pupil

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of prompt phacoemulsification,intraocular lens implantation,visco-goniosynechialysis,combined with pseudo-pupilloplasty for refractory acute primary angle closure(APAC)with atonic dilated pupil and to describe a feasible method of pupilloplasty.Methods A consecutive series of refractory APAC patients who had atonic dilated pupil and undergone prompt phacoemulsification combined with pseudo-pupilloplasty at our center were retrospectively analyzed.Pseudo-pupilloplasty referred to a method of pupilloplasty which included 4.5-mm capsulorhexis,postoperative opacification of anterior capsule residue,and ultimate pseudo-pupil formation.Preoperative and postoperative measurements included intraocular pressure(IOP),best corrected visual acuity(BCVA),and anterior chamber depth(ACD).Intraoperative and postoperative complications were documented.The process of pseudo-pupil formation was also observed.Results A total of 20 eyes of 19 APAC patients were followed up for 19.7±9.8 months.IOP was lowered from preoperative 44.0±9.8 mmHg to 15.5±2.6 mmHg at final visit(t=11.945,P<0.001).ACD was deepened from preoperative 1.77±0.21 mm to 3.40±0.20 mm at final visit(t=-27.711,P<0.001).Twelve of 20 eyes had residual angle synechiae,whereas only 3 eyes needed anti-glaucoma medications.No severe complication was observed.All eyes had pseudo-pupil gradually formed within 3 months,accompanied with the gradual improvement of BCVA from preoperative 1.18+0.55 to 0.58±0.22,0.26±0.09,0.11±0.09,and 0.11±.09 at postoperative day 1,month 1,month 3,and last visit.Conclusions Prompt phacoemulsification-goniosynechialysis is effective and safe for refractory APAC with atonic dilated pupil.Pseudo-pupilloplasty is a feasible procedure for pupil reconstruction.

设A是代数闭域k上的有限维遗传代数,A^((m))和ζ_m(A)分别是A的m-重代数和m-丛范畴.众所周知,代数A^((m))的投射维数不超过m的基本的(basic)倾斜模与m-丛范畴ζ_m(A)的基本的倾斜对象一一对应,这是本文进一步研究m-重代数的倾斜模的原因.本文综述m-重代数A^((m))的偏倾斜模的补、倾斜箭图、倾斜模的自同态代数以及生成子-余生成子的自同态代数的整体维数的值分布.

Gorenstein Projective Dimensions of Modules over Minimal Auslander-Gorenstein Algebras

In this article we investigate the relations between the Gorenstein projective dimensions of Λ-modules and their socles for re-minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras Λ.First we give a description of projective-injective Λ-modules in terms of their socles.Then we prove that a Λ-module N has Gorenstein projective dimension at most n if and only if its socle has Gorenstein projective dimension at most n if and only if N is cogenerated by a projective Λ-module.Furthermore,we show that n-minimal Auslander-Gorenstein algebras can be characterised by the relations between the Gorenstein projective dimensions of modules and their socles.
