CREG accelerates vasculogenesis in mouse embryonic stem sellsderived embryonic bodies

Background Cellular repressor of ElA-stimulated genes(CREG) is homeostatic modulated gene,which regulate a number of cellular processes,including cell differentiation, motility and survival.Previous studies have demonstrated that CREG was expressed in all three germ layers,suggesting that it might act as a vital regulator during embryonic developing.The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of CREG in an embryonic stem cell(ESC) differentiation model that recapitulates the developmental steps of vasculogenesis.Methods The ES cells were stably transfected either pCXN2-FLAG-CREG-IRES-EGFP plasmid or pDS1- shRNA-CREG plasmid to produce the CREG+/ES cells and CREG-siRNA/ES cells,respectively.Vasculogenesis was detected by whole mount immunostainings for CD31.Dil labeled acLDL staining assay was used to detect branching pseudopods in cultures in Matrigel.Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were employed to determine expressions of VEGF and Flk-1.Results CREG +/ES-derived embryoid bodies(EBs) were found to form spontaneously a primitive vascular network after 6 days of differentiation.In contrast, wildtype EBs exhibit theirs vasculogenesis until 13 days of differentiation by whole mount immunostainings for CD31. CREG +/EBs developed more rapidly branching pseudopods at 9 days compared with that of wildtype EBs by Dil labeled acLDL staining assay.In contrast,CREG-siRNA/ES exhibits an undifferentiated morphogenesis associated with an increase in apoptotic cells in spite of being derived from LIF and feeder layers.Administration of CREG-siRNA/ES cells with recombinant CREG protein rescued the phenomena that CREG boosted vasculogenesis in a dose-dependent fasion. Mechanically,Real-time PCR and Western blot analysis revealed the expressions both VEGF and Flk-1 significantly in- creased in CREG+/EBs.Moreover,after treatment of CREG+ /EBs with neurtralizing antibody against VEGF,the rapid vasculogenesis was significantly repressed.Conclusions Our data strongely demonstrate that CREG play a pivotal role in accelerating vasculogenesis in development of ES cells. VEGF,as its important downstream effector,mediated this bio-function.

Space-Time as the Source of Energy That Accelerates the Universe

A cosmological model with both acceleration and deceleration is proposed, rewriting and reinterpreting Einstein＇s Field Equations, with a variable cosmological parameter A denoting energy due to space-time, which may be considered as ＂vacuum energy＂ at the ＂beginning＂ of the universe. The cosmological constant is replaced by a variable cosmological parameter, which is a measure of the energy of space-time that could be converted to energy of matter and radiation and vice versa.

The advanced South Asian monsoon onset accelerates lake expansion over the Tibetan Plateau

The rapid expansion of lake area in the Tibetan Plateau(TP)has attracted a considerable amount of concern in recent decades.Limited evidence has suggested that climate warming and the cryosphere change are the most prominent contributors to lake expansion.The widespread changes in lake area result from a combination of increased precipitation,melting glaciers,permafrost degradation,and changes in other components of terrestrial water.However,debate remains as to whether melting glaciers or increased precipitation have a greater impact on lake expansion.Varied topography and limited datasets hinder the ability to perform extensive research,and there is currently no definitive conclusion on the issue.

Prednisolone therapy accelerates recovery of severe drug-induced liver injury: A prospective, randomized controlled study

Background and aims:Drug-induced liver injury(DILI)is one of the most serious adverse drug reactions and its incidence has been increasing rapidly.Accumulating evidence suggests that immune activation and systemic inflammatory responses are very important in the progression of DILI.Corticosteroids are often used in DILI,but their clinical usefulness remains controversial.We therefore conducted a prospective,randomized controlled study to investigate whether corticosteroid therapy can accelerate recovery and reduce mortality in severe DILI(SDILI).Methods:SDILI patients with total bilirubin?171μmol/L who presented to the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital,Beijing from 2016 to 2019 were randomly allocated to prednisolone and control groups.The endpoints were resolution of SDILI,defined as a decrease in total bilirubin of at least 35μmol/L to<171μmol/L,and overall survival at 6 months.Patients in the prednisolone group received prednisolone 60 mg/day therapy for the first 7 days.Patients with a decrease in total bilirubin of more than 35μmol/L on day 8 continued on tapering doses of prednisolone;otherwise,prednisolone was discontinued.Results:On day 8,50.75%(34/67)and 26.47%(18/68)of the participants in the prednisolone and control groups,respectively,achieved the primary endpoint(p¼0.002).However,there was no significant difference in overall survival at 6 months:95.52%(64/67)vs.91.18%(62/68)in the prednisolone and control groups,respectively(p¼0.3).All deaths in both groups occurred in patients who failed to achieve SDILI resolution on day 8.Conclusion:Prednisolone therapy may accelerate the recovery of SDILI.

顺倾及反倾层状碎裂结构斜坡地震反应的大型振动台试验研究

西南艰险山区分布着大量的不同倾向的层状碎裂结构斜坡,地震作用下极易发生崩塌、滑坡等灾害,对在建的川藏铁路造成严重威胁。通过大型振动台模型试验,研究了强震条件下顺倾、反倾层状碎裂结构斜坡的动力响应、失稳破坏模式以及能量传递规律。试验结果表明:反倾斜坡的抗震性能显著优于顺倾斜坡;顺倾斜坡的破坏模式主要为拉裂-剪切-隆起-滑移型破坏,反倾斜坡的破坏模式主要为拉伸-弯曲-倾倒-崩塌型破坏;反倾斜坡的自振频率高于顺倾斜坡,顺倾斜坡的自振频率随震级的增加而逐渐降低,而反倾斜坡的自振频率在地震波幅值为0.4g~0.7g时出现反复震荡现象;顺倾斜坡存在明显的高程放大效应和趋表效应,反倾斜坡存在高程放大效应,其内部的加速度响应大于坡表。边际谱识别显示:顺倾斜坡的边际谱幅值(peak of marginal spectrum amplitude,简称PMSA)突变在坡腰上部最显著,说明该位置附近地震波的能量损失最大,反映出顺倾斜坡在坡腰上部附近形成了滑动破坏面;反倾斜坡的PMSA在坡肩处降低得最为显著,反映出坡肩部位损伤最为严重,易发生局部崩塌破坏。分析结果与试验现象能够较好地吻合,进一步揭示了不同结构类型层状碎裂结构斜坡在强震作用下的动力响应与失稳破坏模式,为川藏铁路的安全建设提供了依据。
