1Mesozoic subduction-accretion zone in northeastern South China Sea inferred from geophysical interpretations显示文摘A segment of Mesozoic subduction-accretion zone was inferred across the northeastern South China Sea at approximately NE45° orientation. Basic evidence includes the following: A belt of peek gross horizontal Bouguer gravity gradient (PGHGBA) is comparable in size and intensity to that of the Manila subduction-accretion zone. A belt of high positive magnetic anomalies appears to the north and sub-parallel to the PGHGBA, representing the volcanic arc associated to the subduction zone. The PGHGBA crosses obliquely both Cenozoic structures and present seafloor topography, indicating a pre-Cenozoic age. The segment is offset left-laterally by NW-running strike-slip faults, in concord with the Mesozoic stress field of South China. In addition, the existence of the subduction zone is supported by wide-angle seismic data obtained in different years by different institutions. At approximate localities, a north-dipping ramp of Moho surface is indicated by records of ocean-bottom seismometers, and a strong reflector about 8 km beneath the Moho reflector is indicated by both OBS and long-cable seismic records. The identification of a segment of Mesozoic subduction zone in NE South China Sea fills nicely the gap of the Great Late Mesozoic Circum SE Asia Subduction-acrretion Zone, which extended from Sumatra, Java, SE Kalimantan to N Palawan, and from Taiwan, Ryukyu to SW Japan.ZHOU Di1, WANG Wanyin2, WANG Jialin3, PANG Xiong4, CAI Dongsheng5 & SUN Zhen1 1.

2Liproxstatin-1 is an effective inhibitor of oligodendrocyte ferroptosis induced by inhibition of glutathione peroxidase 4显示文摘Our previous studies showed that ferroptosis plays an important role in the acute and subacute stages of spinal cord injury.High intracellular iron levels and low glutathione levels make oligodendrocytes vulnerable to cell death after central nervous system trauma.In this study,we established an oligodendrocyte(OLN-93 cell line)model of ferroptosis induced by RSL-3,an inhibitor of glutathione peroxidase 4(GPX4).RSL-3 significantly increased intracellular concentrations of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde.RSL-3 also inhibited the main antiferroptosis pathway,i.e.,SLC7A11/glutathione/glutathione peroxidase 4(xCT/GSH/GPX4),and downregulated acyl-coenzyme A synthetase long chain family member 4.Furthermore,we evaluated the ability of several compounds to rescue oligodendrocytes from ferroptosis.Liproxstatin-1 was more potent than edaravone or deferoxamine.Liproxstatin-1 not only inhibited mitochondrial lipid peroxidation,but also restored the expression of GSH,GPX4 and ferroptosis suppressor protein 1.These findings suggest that GPX4 inhibition induces ferroptosis in oligodendrocytes,and that liproxstatin-1 is a potent inhibitor of ferroptosis.Therefore,liproxstatin-1 may be a promising drug for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.Bao-You Fan Yi-Lin Pang Wen-Xiang Li Chen-Xi Zhao Yan Zhang Xu Wang Guang-Zhi Ning Xiao-Hong Kong Chang Liu Xue Yao Shi-Qing Feng 2021Neural Regeneration Research2021,16,3:19
3Trends and challenges of emergency and acute care in Chinese mainland:2005–2017显示文摘BACKGROUND:Emergency medical service system(EMSS)is essential in providing acute care services for health conditions.However,trends of emergency and acute care in China haven’t been studied systematically.METHODS:Relevant literature was carefully reviewed,including original and review articles,letters,government reports,yearbooks,both in Chinese and in English.Data on the number of emergency visits,physicians and beds in emergency departments(EDs),and the workforce of prehospital emergency care were summarized and analyzed from China Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbooks(2006–2018).RESULTS:Over the past decade,the number of ED visits tripled from 51.9 million to 166.5 million;and utilization of pre-hospital emergency care increased from 3.2 million to 6.8 million.In response to rapid increases in demand,the number of licensed emergency physicians raised from 20,058 to 59,409;the beds’number increased from 10,783 to 42,367.For pre-hospital emergency care,the volume of health workforce increased from 3,687 to 8,671,with a 109%increase in the number of physicians from 1,774 to 3,712.However,overcrowding,the long length of stay in EDs,poor work environment,and work exhaustion were still the critical challenges faced by China’s EMSS.CONCLUSIONS:The number of emergency visits has grown with continual capability enhancement during the past decade.However,overcrowding,the long length of stay in EDs,poor work environment,and work exhaustion still need to be solved by China’s EMSS.These fi ndings and comparison with the USA could offer experiences and lessons to EMSS development worldwide,especially for developing countries.Chang Pan Jiao-jiao Pang Kai Cheng Feng Xu Yu-guo Chen 2021World Journal of Emergency Medicine2021,12,1:14
4Central obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease risk after adjusting for body mass index显示文摘AIM:To investigate whether central obesity is associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) formation after adjusting for general obesity.METHODS:The online databases Pub Med,EMBASE,and ISI Web of Science were searched for studies estimating the influence of central obesity on NAFLD occurrence published through April 2014.Studies that did not adjust for body mass index(BMI) were excluded.In addition,the independent effect of BMI was also assessed with the included studies.The pooled effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals(CIs) were calculated using random- or fixed-effects models based on the degree of heterogeneity.Furthermore,subgroup analyses,meta-regression,sensitivity analyses,and publication bias were performed.RESULTS:Twenty eligible studies were identified.The summary odds ratio(OR) values per-unit increase in waist circumference(WC) and BMI for NAFLD formation were 1.07(95%CI:1.03-1.10,I2 = 73.9%,n = 11 studies) and 1.25(95%CI:1.13-1.38,I2 = 88.7%,n = 11 studies),respectively.When the indices were expressed as binary variables(with the non-obesity group as reference),the pooled OR in WC,waist-tohip ratio,and BMI were 2.34(95%CI:1.83-3.00,I2 = 41.8%,n = 7 studies),4.06(95%CI:1.53-10.79,I2 = 65.7%,n = 3 studies),and 2.85(95%CI:1.60-5.08,I2 = 57.8%,n = 5 studies),respectively.Using the same studies as the latter(n = 5),pooled OR in WC was 3.14(95%CI:2.07-4.77),which is greater than that in BMI.CONCLUSION:Central obesity may pose a greater threat to national health than general obesity,although both are independently associated with increased risk of NAFLD.Qing Pang Jing-Yao Zhang Si-Dong Song Kai Qu Xin-Sen Xu Su-Shun Liu Chang Liu 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,5:13
5Simultaneous Screening of 733 Pesticide Residues in Fruits and Vegetables by a GC/LC-Q-TOFMS Combination Technique显示文摘In this paper,we report the construction of two accurate mass databases and the development of a combination detection method that simultaneously screens for 733 pesticide and chemical contaminant multi-residues via high-throughput liquid chromatography(LC)-and gas chromatography(GC)-quadru pole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(Q-TOFMS).This work demonstrates that electronic mass spectral standards may replace chemical-source standard materials as references through one sample preparation and the combination of GC/LC-Q-TOFMS screening.This cutting-edge technique has also replaced multiresidue determination using targeted detection with non-targeted screening.The pesticide residue types,sensitivity,recovery,and reproducibility of this combination technique are evaluated in eight fruit and vegetable matrices.This technique shows three advantages:①In comparison with the discovery capability of a single technique,the combination technique shows an improvement of 51.1%(GC-QTOFMS)and 39.6%(LC-Q-TOFMS),respectively;②the combination technique can satisfy a screening limit lower than 10μg·kg^-1 and meet the requirements of“uniform standards,”although some of the pesticide residues could be optimized to further improve screening sensitivity;③over 488 pesticides with recoveries between 60%-120%and relative standard deviation(RSD)<20%at a spiked level of 10μg·kg^-1 were detected with the combination technique in eight different matrices.From 2012 to 2017,this combination technique was applied in an investigation to screen pesticide residues from 1384 sampling locations for 38138 batched samples covering 18 categories and 134 types of fruits and vegetables obtained from across the mainland of China.After statistical analysis,533 pesticides in 115891 determinations were detected,and the regularity of pesticides in the fruits and vegetables sold on the Chinese market was shown.Guofang Pang Qiaoying Chang Ruobin Bai Chunlin Fan Zijuan Zhang Hongyuan Yan Xingqiang Wu 2020Engineering2020,6,4:11
6Trends in mortality of emergency departments patients in China显示文摘BACKGROUND: Emergency medical service system (EMSS) in China is becoming more important. However, studies on mortality of emergency departments (EDs) patients in tertiary hospitals and on the trends in mortality of ED patients all over China are stagnant. The objective of this study was to quantify and describe the trends in mortality of ED patients in China. METHODS: Nine tertiary teaching hospitals were selected from tertiary teaching hospitals in different regions. The annual numbers of ED visits and deaths of these hospitals in 2004, 2009 and 2014 were recorded and analyzed. Chi-square test was used to compare the mortality of the EDs’ visits. Moreover, data on the mortality of ED patients in China from 2005 to 2015 were summarized and analyzed from the China Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbooks (2006–2016). RESULTS: From 2004 to 2014, the overall annual mortalities in EDs increased among the tertiary hospitals (P<0.001). However, the overall annual mortality in EDs all over China decreased from 0.12% in 2005 to 0.08% in 2015. And the mortalities of EDs patients in the eastern, central and western regions of China all decreased. In addition, the average mortality of EDs patients in northern China was obviously higher than that in southern China (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The ED mortality was increased in tertiary hospitals while decreased all over China during the past decade, which may be partly caused by some critical challenges faced by China’s EMSS, such as overcrowding and long length of stay in EDs of tertiary hospitals.Chang Pan Xiao-ran Huang Jiao-jiao Pang Kai Cheng Feng Xu Yu-guo Chen 2019World Journal of Emergency Medicine2019,10,3:11
7Platelet to lymphocyte ratio as a novel prognostic tool for gallbladder carcinoma显示文摘AIM:To preliminarily investigate the prognostic significance of the platelet to lymphocyte ratio(PLR) in patients with gallbladder carcinoma(GBC).METHODS:Clinical data of 316 surgical GBC patients were analyzed retrospectively,and preoperative serum platelet and lymphocyte counts were used to calculate the PLR.The optimal cut-off value of the PLR for detecting death was determined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve.The primary outcome was overall survival,which was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.The log-rank test was used to compare the differences in survival.Then,we conducted multivariate Cox analysis to assess the independent effect of the PLR on the survival of GBC patients.RESULTS:For the PLR,the area under the ROC curve was 0.620(95%CI:0.542-0.698,P = 0.040) in detecting death.The cut-off value for the PLR was determined to be 117.7,with 73.6% sensitivity and 53.2% specificity.The PLR was found to be significantlypositively correlated with CA125 serum level,tumornode-metastasis(TNM) stage,and tumor differentiation.Univariate analysis identified carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA),CA125 and CA199 levels,PLR,TNM stage,and the degree of differentiation as significant prognostic factors for GBC when they were expressed as binary data.Multivariate analysis showed that CA125 > 35 U/mL,CA199 > 39 U/mL,PLR ≥ 117.7,and TNM stage Ⅳ were independently associated with poor survival in GBC.When expressed as a continuous variable,the PLR was still an independent predictor for survival,with a hazard ratio of 1.018(95%CI:1.001-1.037 per 10-unit increase,P = 0.043).CONCLUSION:The PLR could be used as a simple,inexpensive,and valuable tool for predicting the prognosis of GBC patients.Qing Pang Ling-Qiang Zhang Rui-Tao Wang Jian-Bin Bi Jing-Yao Zhang Kai Qu Su-Shun Liu Si-Dong Song Xin-Sen Xu Zhi-Xin Wang Chang Liu 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,21:10

10Association Between Serum Uric Acid and Prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Diagnosed using HbA1c Criteria Among Chinese Adults in Qingdao,China显示文摘Objective To determine whether elevated serum uric acid(UA)levels are associated with type 2 diabetes diagnosed using Hb A1 c levels among Chinese adults.Methods We conducted two population-based cross-sectional studies in Qingdao in China in 2006 and 2009.A total of 6894(39.4% men)subjects aged 35-74 years were included in the data analysis.Newly diagnosed diabetes was defined as Hb A1 c level of ≥6.5%,and prediabetes was classified as Hb A1 c level between 5.7% and 6.4% according to the International Diabetes Federation criteria.Multivariate logistic regression was employed to assess the association between UA and prevalence of type 2 diabetes defined using Glycated hemoglobin A1c(Hb A1 c levels.Results Subjects with prediabetes had higher UA levels than those with normal glucose tolerance,newly diagnosed diabetes,and known diabetes,with corresponding values of 325.1(82.5)μmol/L,310.9(84.2)μmol/L,291.3(81.7)μmol/L,305.2(83.6)μmol/L,respectively(P<0.001 for all comparisons).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that UA was a possible predictor for the prevalence of type 2 diabetes diagnosed using Hb A1 c levels,and the second quartile of UA levels had a higher odds ratio(OR:4.088;95% CI:2.900-5.765)for Hb A1 c than the other quartiles after adjusting for age,body mass index,sex,marital status,education,income,alcohol consumption,smoking,and cardiometabolic parameters.Conclusion Serum UA is significantly associated with type 2 diabetes diagnosed using Hb A1 c levels,independent of other cardiometabolic parameters.XUE Bai TAN Ji Bin NING Feng SUN Jian Ping ZHANG Ke Yi LIU Li WANG Shao Jie ZHANG Dong Feng QIAO Qing PANG Zeng Chang 2015Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2015,28,12:9
11Neuroprotective effect of deferoxamine on erastin-induced ferroptosis in primary cortical neurons显示文摘The iron chelator deferoxamine has been shown to inhibit ferroptosis in spinal cord injury.However,it is unclear whether deferoxamine directly protects neurons from ferroptotic cell death.By comparing the survival rate and morphology of primary neurons and SH-SY5Y cells exposed to erastin,it was found that these cell types respond differentially to the duration and concentration of erastin treatment.Therefore,we studied the mechanisms of ferroptosis using primary cortical neurons from E16 mouse embryos.After treatment with 50μM erastin for 48 hours,reactive oxygen species levels increased,and the expression of the cystine/glutamate antiporter system light chain and glutathione peroxidase 4 decreased.Pretreatment with deferoxamine for 12 hours inhibited these changes,reduced cell death,and ameliorated cellular morphology.Pretreatment with the apoptosis inhibitor Z-DEVD-FMK or the necroptosis inhibitor necrostain-1 for 12 hours did not protect against erastin-induced ferroptosis.Only deferoxamine protected the primary cortical neurons from ferroptosis induced by erastin,confirming the specificity of the in vitro ferroptosis model.This study was approved by the Animal Ethics Committee at the Institute of Radiation Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences,China(approval No.DWLL-20180913)on September 13,2018.Yan Zhang Bao-You Fan Yi-Lin Pang Wen-Yuan Shen Xu Wang Chen-Xi Zhao Wen-Xiang Li Chang Liu Xiao-Hong Kong Guang-Zhi Ning Shi-Qing Feng Xue Yao 2020Neural Regeneration Research2020,15,8:9
12Climate variability recorded by n-alkanes of paleolake sediment in Qaidam Basin on the northeast Tibetan Plateau in late MIS3显示文摘Here we combine n-alkanes preserved in a shell bar section from Qarhan paleolake, Qaidam Basin with the other sedimentary proxies to elucidate the lake evolution process during the period 39.7 to 17.5 14C ka BP (calibrated age ranges from 43.5 to 22.4 cal. ka BP). In different stages, the n-alkane homologues exhibited different distribution modes indicative of variations in the surrounding vegetation and the hydrologic condition of the lake. The n-alkanes proxies (CPIh, ACLh, Paq) have the same trends as the summer solar insolation variation, implying that the summer insolation is the most important climatic factor driving the environmental changes and also indirectly controls lake evolution on the Tibetan Plateau. CPIh and ACLh as well as the total pollen concentration appear to show a trend comparable with methane concentration record from the GRIP ice core that reflected the Dansgaard-Oeschger events. This demonstrates that the paleoclimate variations in Qarhan area generally agree with global climate change and show rapid oscillations in late MIS3. These findings provide the latest molecular fossil evidence from paleolake sediments to confirm that lake evolution on Tibetan Plateau in late MIS3 was closely associated with enhanced summer insolation.PU Yang ZHANG HuCai LEI GuoLiang CHANG FengQin YANG MingSheng ZHANG WenXiang LEI YanBin YANG LunQing PANG YouZhi 2010Science China Earth Sciences2010,53,6:8
13Prognostic significance of preoperative platelet count in patients with gallbladder cancer显示文摘AIM:To investigate the prognostic value of preoperative platelet count(PLT) in patients with primary gallbladder cancer(GBC).METHODS:The clinical data of 223 GBC patients after surgery was retrospectively reviewed.A receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was plotted to verify the optimum cutoff point for PLT.Univariate and multivariate survival analyses were performed to identify the factors associated with the prognosis.RESULTS:The ROC curve showed that the optimum cutoff point for PLT was 178 × 109/L,and the entire cohort was stratified into group A with PLT > 178 × 109/L and group B with PLT ≤ 178 × 109/L.Group A had a better survival than group B(P < 0.001).There was an obvious difference between the two groups in terms of the differentiation degree,advanced tumor stage,lymph node metastasis(P < 0.001) and pathological type(P < 0.05).The univariate analysis demonstrated that tumor location,differentiation degree,TNM stage,Nevin stage,lymph node metastasis and PLT were associated with overall survival(P < 0.001).In the multivariate analysis,PLT(P = 0.032),lymph node metastasis(P = 0.007),tumor location(P < 0.001) and TNM stage(P = 0.005) were independent prognostic factors.CONCLUSION:PLT is closely correlated with GBC prognosis and could be used to identify the population with a poorer prognosis after surgery.Rui-Tao Wang Ling-Qiang Zhang Yi-Ping Mu Jian-Bo Li Xin-Sen Xu Qing Pang Lian-Kang Sun Xing Zhang Shun-Bin Dong Lin Wang Chang Liu 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,17:8

15Hydrogen-rich water protects against acetaminopheninduced hepatotoxicity in mice显示文摘AIM: To investigate the hepatoprotective effects and mechanisms of hydrogen-rich water(HRW) in acetaminophen(APAP)-induced liver injury in mice.METHODS: Male mice were randomly divided into the following four groups: normal saline(NS) control group, mice received equivalent volumes of NS intraperitoneally(ip); HRW control group, mice were given HRW(same volume as the NS group); APAP + NS group, mice received NS ip for 3 d(5 mL /kg body weight, twice a day at 8 am and 5 pm) after APAP injection; APAP + HRW group, mice received HRW for 3 d(same as NS treatment) after APAP challenge.In the first experiment, mice were injected ip with a lethal dose of 750 mg/kg APAP to determine the 5-d survival rates.In the second experiment, mice were injected ip with a sub-lethal dose of 500 mg/kg.Blood and liver samples were collected at 24, 48, and 72 h after APAP injection to determine the degree of liver injury.RESULTS :Treatment with HRW resulted ina significant increase in the 5-d survival rate compared with the APAP + NS treatment group(60% vs 26.67%, P < 0.05).HRW could significantly decrease the serum alanine aminotransferase level(24 h: 4442 ± 714.3 U/L vs 6909 ± 304.8 U/L, P < 0.01; 48 h: 3782 ± 557.5 U/L vs 5111 ± 404 U/L, P < 0.01; and3255 ± 337.4 U/L vs 3814 ± 250.2 U/L, P < 0.05, respectively) and aspartate aminotransferase level(24 h: 4683 ± 443.4 U/L vs 5307 ± 408.4 U/L, P < 0.05; 48 h: 3392 ± 377.6 U/L vs 4458 ± 423.6 U/L, P < 0.01; and 3354 ± 399.4 U/L vs 3778 ± 358 U/L, respectively) compared with the APAP treatment group.The alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin and lactate dehydrogenase levels had the same result.Seventy-two hours after APAP administration, liver samples were collected for pathological examination and serum was collected to detect the cytokine levels.The liver index(5.16% ± 0.26% vs 5.88% ± 0.073%, P < 0.05) and percentage of liver necrosis area(27.73% ± 0.58% vs 36.87% ± 0.49%, P < 0.01) were significantly lower in the HRW-treated animals.The malonyldialdehyde(MDA) contents were significantly reduced in the HRW pretreatment group, but they were increased in the APAP-treated group(10.44 ± 1.339 nmol/mg protein vs 16.70 ± 1.646 nmol/mg protein, P < 0.05).A decrease in superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity in the APAP treatment group and an increase of SOD in the HRW treatment group were also detected(9.74 ± 0.46 U/mg protein vs 12.1 ± 0.67 U/mg protein, P < 0.05).Furthermore, HRW could significantly increase the glutathione(GSH) contents(878.7 ± 76.73 mg/g protein vs 499.2 ± 48.87 mg/g protein) compared with the APAP treatment group.Meanwhile, HRW could reduce the inflammation level(serum TNF-α: 399.3 ± 45.50 pg/L vs 542.8 ± 22.38 pg/L, P < 0.05; and serum IL-6: 1056 ± 77.01 pg/L vs 1565 ± 42.11 pg/L, P < 0.01, respectively).In addition, HRW could inhibit 4-HNE, nitrotyrosine formation, JNK phosphorylation, connexin 32 and cytochrome P4502 E expression.Simultaneously, HRW could facilitate hepatocyte mitosis to promote liver regeneration.CONCLUSION: HRW has significant therapeutic potential in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation and promoting liver regeneration.Jing-Yao Zhang Si-Dong Song Qing Pang Rui-Yao Zhang Yong Wan Da-Wei Yuan Qi-Fei Wu Chang Liu 2015World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,14:6
16The interplay of aging,genetics and environmental factors in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease显示文摘Background:Parkinson’s disease(PD)is characterized by dopaminergic neuronal loss in the substantia nigra pars compacta and intracellular inclusions called Lewy bodies(LB).During the course of disease,misfoldedα-synuclein,the major constituent of LB,spreads to different regions of the brain in a prion-like fashion,giving rise to successive non-motor and motor symptoms.Etiology is likely multifactorial,and involves interplay among aging,genetic susceptibility and environmental factors.Main body:The prevalence of PD rises exponentially with age,and aging is associated with impairment of cellular pathways which increases susceptibility of dopaminergic neurons to cell death.However,the majority of those over the age of 80 do not have PD,thus other factors in addition to aging are needed to cause disease.Discovery of neurotoxins which can result in parkinsonism led to efforts in identifying environmental factors which may influence PD risk.Nevertheless,the causality of most environmental factors is not conclusively established,and alternative explanations such as reverse causality and recall bias cannot be excluded.The lack of geographic clusters and conjugal cases also go against environmental toxins as a major cause of PD.Rare mutations as well as common variants in genes such as SNCA,LRRK2 and GBA are associated with risk of PD,but Mendelian causes collectively only account for 5%of PD and common polymorphisms are associated with small increase in PD risk.Heritability of PD has been estimated to be around 30%.Thus,aging,genetics and environmental factors each alone is rarely sufficient to cause PD for most patients.Conclusion:PD is a multifactorial disorder involving interplay of aging,genetics and environmental factors.This has implications on the development of appropriate animal models of PD which take all these factors into account.Common converging pathways likely include mitochondrial dysfunction,impaired autophagy,oxidative stress and neuroinflammation,which are associated with the accumulation and spread of misfoldedα-synuclein and neurodegeneration.Understanding the mechanisms involved in the initiation and progression of PD may lead to potential therapeutic targets to prevent PD or modify its course.Shirley Yin-Yu Pang Philip Wing-Lok Ho Hui-Fang Liu Chi-Ting Leung Lingfei Li Eunice Eun Seo Chang David Boyer Ramsden Shu-Leong Ho 2019Translational Neurodegeneration2019,8,1:5
17Hyperhomocysteinemia induces injury in olfactory bulb neurons by downregulating Hes1 and Hes5 expression显示文摘Hyperhomocysteinemia has been shown to be associated with neurodegenerative diseases; however, lesions or histological changes and mechanisms underlying homocysteine-induced injury in olfactory bulb neurons remain unclear. In this study, hyperhomocysteinemia was induced in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice with 1.7% methionine. Pathological changes in the olfactory bulb were observed through hematoxylin-eosin and Pischingert staining. Cell apoptosis in the olfactory bulb was determined through terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP nick end-labeling(TUNEL) staining. Transmission electron microscopy revealed an abnormal ultrastructure of neurons. Furthermore, immunoreactivity and expression of the hairy enhancer of the split 1(Hes1) and Hes5 were measured using immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and western blot assay. Our results revealed no significant structural abnormality in the olfactory bulb of hyperhomocysteinemic mice. However, the number of TUNEL-positive cells increased in the olfactory bulb, lipofuscin and vacuolization were visible in mitochondria, and the expression of Hes1 and Hes5 decreased. These findings confirm that hyperhomocysteinemia induces injury in olfactory bulb neurons by downregulating Hes1 and Hes5 expression.Jing-wen Zhang Bo Pang Qi Zhao Yue Chang Yi-li Wang Yi-deng Jiang Li Jing 2018Neural Regeneration Research2018,13,2:5

19Exogenous abscisic acid coordinating leaf senescence and transport of assimilates into wheat grains under drought stress by regulating hormones homeostasis显示文摘Drought at the grain filling stage of wheat will cause premature leaf senescence, thus leading to considerable loss of wheat yield. Therefore, this paper aims to establish a cultivation technology for strong drought resistance, delayed senescence, and yield improvement based on the analysis of hormones homeostasis obtained by applying chemical control substances. Experiments were conducted with two genotypes of wheat. Four water irrigation treatments were applied to impose the water deficit, including well-watered control treatment(WW), mild water deficit(MiWD), moderate water deficit(MoWD), and severe water deficit(SWD). Exogenous abscisic acid(ABA) was sprayed on the plants at the anthesis stage of the wheat. As a result, exogenous ABA reduced initial senescence rate(r0), total duration of chlorophyll(Chltotal), rapid senescence phase(Chlloss), and the accumulated temperature at an inflection point(M) but improved the persistence phase(Chlper) of flag leaves under all of the four treatments. However, exogenous ABA produced inconsistent effects on photoassimilate relocation and grain weight under different treatments. It produced positive regulatory effects on grain weight under WW, MiWD, and MoWD treatments. On the one hand, spraying ABA during the persistence phase of flag leaves reduced the ratios of zeatin to gibberellin(Z/GA3), spermine to spermidine(Spm/Spd), and salicylic acid to ABA(SA/ABA),which prolonged active photosynthesis by stimulating high level of proline(Pro) and increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase(SOD), peroxidase(POD), catalase(CAT), and ascorbate peroxidase(APX). Therefore, drought tolerance was enhanced, and more photosynthetic assimilates were accumulated. On the other hand, the rapid senescence phase and the transport rate of assimilates into grains were accelerated, resulting in higher grain weight, yield, and water use efficiency(WUE). However, under SWD treatment, exogenous ABA improved the ratio of SA/ABA, leading to low Pro content and low antioxidant enzyme activity of flag leaves in the rapid loss phase. Meanwhile,drought resistance declined and the transport duration of assimilates into grains was shortened, thus making photosynthetic assimilates redundant. Therefore, exogenous ABA can lead to the reduction in grain weight, yield, and WUE of wheat under SWD treatment.Yongli Luo Wenqian Li Cui Huang Junhao Yang Min Jin Jin Chen Dangwei Pang Yonglan Chang Yong Li Zhenlin Wang 2021The Crop Journal2021,9,4:4
20The Effect of n-Hexane on the Gonad Toxicity of Female Mice显示文摘Objective To investigate the toxic effects of n-hexane on the Ganod of female mice.Methods n-Hexane was administered to four groups of mice by inhalation at doses of 0,3.0,15.1,and 75.8 mL/m3 respectivelyfor five weeks.Each group consisted of 10 mice,of which half were injected in first with 10 IU of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin(PMSG) on the 33rd days,and then with 10 IU of human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) 48 hrs later.After the treatment,mouse sera were sampled and ovulating hormone(LH),follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),estradiol(E2),and progesterone(P4) levels were measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassays(ECLIA).In each group,the right ovaries of the non-super-ovulated mice were stained with hematoxylin and eosin while ovaries on the left side were prepared with the TUNEL method in order to detect apoptotic cells.Results The duration of the diestrus stage decreased significantly(P<0.05) in the 75.8 mL/m3 group.All super-ovulated mice in each treatment group produced fewer eggs than those in the control group(P<0.05).The number of follicles in ovaries in the 75.8 mL/m3 group was smaller compared with the control group(P<0.05).The serum P4 levels in each treatment group were lower than those in the control group(F=6.196,P<0.01).The cell apoptotic rate in the 75.8 mL/m3 group was higher(P<0.05).Conclusion n-Hexane may have directly mediated via alterations hormone secretion and promoted granulosal cell apoptotic,which may be one of the important mechanisms for n-hexane induced mouse ovary impairment.LIU Jin HUANG Hui Ling PANG Fen ZHANG Wen Chang 2012Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2012,25,2:4
