With persistent advancement of surgical instruments, methods and techniques, clinical efficacy of liver transplantation has been steadily enhanced. However, the length of anhepatic phase is still an important factor affecting the efficacy of liver transplantation. Rat is one of the major animal models for liver transplantation-related basic research. In this article, multiple approaches for prolonging the anhepatic phase and shortening the operation time during anhepatic phase in rat liver transplantation were reviewed, which consisted of sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia, intravenous infusion via jugular vein indwelling needle, clamping of the abdominal aorta before anhepatic phase, injection of normal saline into portal vein before anhepatic phase, subcutaneous transposition of the spleen, electrocoagulation of hepatic esophageal artery, magnetic ring anastomosis of the superior and inferior hepatic vena cava, cannula anastomosis of the superior and inferior hepatic vena cava, stent anastomosis of the superior and inferior hepatic vena cava, rapid connection device and cannula of portal vein, and ring-shaped cannula of hepatic tissue-preserving inferior hepatic vena cava, aiming to add evidence for prolonging the duration of anhepatic phase, improving the operation efficiency during anhepatic phase and elevating the success rate of rat liver transplantation.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of single-plane bi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 343 patients who underwent transperineal template prostate magnetic resonance-transrectal ultrasound (MRI-TRUS) cognitive fusion biopsy at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to July 2021 were retrospectively analyzed, with median age of [65.0(59.0, 72.0)] years, median body mass index (BMI) of [24.1(22.2, 25.6)]kg/m 2, median prostate volume (PV) of [41.7(29.1, 53.3)]ml, median PSA[6.9 (5.5, 8.4) ng/ml], median PSAD of[0.17(0.12, 0.22) ng/ml 2], and abnormal rate of digital rectal examination (DRE) [6.4%(22/343)]. All patients underwent initial biopsy and bi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (bpMRI) examination before biopsy, and the images were interpreted using prostate image reporting and data system version 2.1 (PI-RADS v2.1). The detection rates of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) were compared between single-plane bpMRI and bpMRI. When PI-RADS≥3 score, MRI results were positive; when PI-RADS ≤2 score, MRI results were negative. Results:In the single-plane bpMRI group, 121 MRI results were negative and 222 were positive. Positive patients included 95 with PI-RADS 3 score, 94 with PI-RADS 4 score, and 33 with PI-RADS 5 score. In bpMRI group, 141 MRI results were negative and 202 were positive. Among the positive patients, 67 patients with PI-RADS 3 score, 102 patients with PI-RADS 4 score, and 33 patients with PI-RADS 5 score. The detection rates of single-plane bpMRI and bpMRI for prostate cancer were 22.3% (27/121) and 15.6% (22/141) in MRI negative cases[22.3% (27/121) and 15.6% (22/141), P=0.17], and PI-RADS scores with 3 points [35.8% (34/95) vs. 44.8% (30/67), P=0.25], 4 points [89.4% (84/94)vs. 90.2% (92/102), P=0.85] and 5 points [90.9% (30/33) vs. 93.9% (31/33), P=1.00] showed no significant difference in stratification. The detection rate of csPCa in the single-plane bpMRI group and bpMRI group was significantly different in the MRI negative cases [7.4% (9/121) and 2.1% (3/141), P=0.04]. PI-RADS scores with 3 points [22.1% (21/95) vs. 29.9% (20/67), P=0.27], 4 points [80.9% (76/94) vs. 79.4% (81/102), P=0.80] and 5 points [84.9% (28/33) vs. 90.9% (30/33), P=0.71] showed no significant difference in stratification. Conclusions:For those suspected of prostate cancer patients with PSA 4-10 ng/ml and PI-RADS score ≥3, single-plane bpMRI or bpMRI examination has the same efficacy in term of the detection rate of prostate cancer and csPCa.

In the research and development of new drugs, it is very important to investigate the in vitro metabolism of candidate drugs. Traditional models such as liver microsomes have many limitations, while the in vitro model of recombinant human drug metabolizing enzymes is considered as an important and useful approach because of its convenient access, stable activity and low cost. In this study, six major human UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) genes (UGT1A1, 1A3, 1A4, 1A6, 1A9 and 2B7) were cloned from human liver cDNA and heterologously expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and baculovirus-infected insect cell. UGT1A1, 1A3, 1A6 and 1A9 were successfully expressed in yeast and showed glucuronidation activity against a variety of different structural types of substrates, but their activities were low. All six UGTs were successfully expressed and exhibited significantly improved glucuronidation activity when Trichopolusia ni cells BTI-TN5B1-4 (High Five) were used as the host. The recombinant human UGTs expressed in insect cells can catalyze the glucuronidation of their specific substrates, and the glucuronidation products were synthesized at milligram-scale with yields of 13%-66% for the first time, of which the structures were identified via MS, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectroscopic analysis. Above all, the recombinant human UGTs yeast and insect cell expression systems constructed in this study can be used for in vitro metabolism evaluation in the early stage of new drugs research and development, and also provide a new tool for the synthesis of glucuronide metabolites.

Objective Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5),a member of the histone arginine methylation transferase family,is involved in a wide range of biological regulation through ei-ther epigenetic or posttranslational methylation modifications. The pur-pose of the present study was to investigate the effects of PRMT5 on cell proliferation of ovarian cancer cell HO8910. Methods Cell lines HO8910 with PRMT5 overexpression were obtained by transi-ent transfection,which were divided into three groups in the experiment: blank control group (wild-type cell line HO8910),negative control group (HO8910 cells were transfected with pCMV-myc plasmid),and experimental group (HO8910 cells were transfected with pCMV-myc-PRMT5 plasmid). Western blot was used to detect the expression of myc protein,and qRT-PCR was used to detect the ex-pression of PRMT5 mRNA. Cell lines HO8910 with inducible stable knockdown of PRMT5 were established by shRNA interference method,which were divided into four groups: pLKO control group (infected by empty vector lentivirus),pLKO+Dox (100ng/mL) group,shPRMT5 group (infected by PRMT5shRNA lentivirus) and shPRMT5+Dox (100 ng/mL) group. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the expression of PRMT5 protein and mRNA levels. Dox-induced PRMT5 knockdown was detected by increasing Dox concentration,which includes four groups,Dox 0ng/mL group,Dox 1ng/mL group,Dox 10ng/mL group,Dox 100ng/mL group,and each group was treated for 48 hours. Western blot and qRT-PCR were used to detect the PRMT5 protein and mRNA expression. Colony formation assay,EdU assay,and CCK-8 assay were used to test cells proliferation. The experiment was conducted in two large groups each with two subgroups: PRMT5 knockdown group (Dox-group,Dox+ group),PRMT5 overexpression group (pCMV-myc group,pCMV-myc-PRMT5 group). Western blot was used to detect the effects of PRMT5 expression on proliferation-related proteins. The experiment was conducted in two large groups,PRMT5 knockdown group with four subgroups : Dox 0ng/mL group,Dox 1ng/mL group,Dox 10ng/mL group and Dox 100ng/mL group,and PRMT5 overexpression group with two subgroups (pCMV-myc group and pCMV-myc-PRMT5 group). Results Western blot results showed that the expression of myc was detected in the experimental group in which HO8910 cells were transfected with pCMV-myc-PRMT5,and the expression of PRMT5 mRNA was significantly higher in the experimental group than those in the blank control group and the negative control group (P<0.001) . Western blot and qRT-PCR showed that PRMT5 protein (0.32±0.25) and mRNA expression levels in shPRMT5+Dox group were significantly lower than those of shPRMT5 group (0.89±0.18) (P<0.05). Western blot and qRT-PCR confirmed that PRMT5 protein (0.21±0.24) and mRNA expres-sion in Dox 10ng/mL group and Dox 100ng/mL group (0.08±0.15) were significantly downregulated compared to Dox 0ng/mL group (1.11±0.15) (P<0.05). Colony formation experiments,EdU experiments,and CCK-8 experiments confirmed that the proliferative ca-pacity of cells in Dox+group was lower than that of Dox-group in PRMT5 knockdown group(P<0.05); while in PRMT5 overexpression group,the proliferative capacity of pCMV-myc-PRMT5 group was significantly higher than that of the pCMV-myc group (P<0.05). Western blot results showed that the protein expression of Cyclin D1 was significantly lower in Dox 100 ng/mL group (0.17±0.06) than that in Dox 0 ng/mL group (1.18±0.18) (P<0.05) and the expression of P21 was significantly increased in PRMT5 knockdown group (P<0.05). In the PRMT5 overexpression group,the protein expression of Cyclin D1 in pCMV-myc-PRMT5 group (3.48± 0.22) was higher than that in pCMV-myc group (0.88±0.15) (P<0.05),while the protein expression of P21 (0.08±0.17) were significantly lower than that of pCMV-myc group (4.12±0.10) (P<0.05). Conclusion PRMT5 plays an important role in the proliferation of ovarian cancer cells. Down-regulation of PRMT5 can inhibit cell proliferation and up-regulation of PRMT5 can pro-mote cell proliferation.

Objective@#Sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is widely used to predict male infertility and the methods of detecting SDF are varied. This study aimed to compare two methods of SDF detection and investigate the correlation between SDF and sperm quality.@*METHODS@#Using sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) and sperm chromatin dispersion test (SCD), we detected SDF in 108 semen samples collected in the Center of Reproduction and Genetics of Suzhou Municipal Hospital. We compared the results of the two methods and analyzed the correlations of SDF routine semen parameters, sperm morphology and the age of the patients.@*RESULTS@#A significant consistency was found in the SDF index (DFI) between the two methods (P<0.01). The DFI was correlated negatively with sperm motility, the percentage of progressively motile sperm, and that of morphologically normal sperm (P <0.01), but positively with the teratozoospermia index (P <0.01 in SCSA and P <0.05 in SCD). The DFI measured by SCSA showed a significantly positive correlation with the patients' age (P <0.01), but not that obtained by SCD.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The results of both SCSA and SCD play an important role in predicting sperm quality. As a clinical index, the DFI has a predictive value for male infertility. However, the results of different detecting methods vary widely, which calls for further studies on their standardization.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of mite sensitivity in patients with urticaria or other skin rashes, and to observe the clinical efficacy of a specific immunotherapy(SIT) by the Injectio dermatophagoidei farinae for the patients.Methods In 7-year period(1998-2005), skin prick test(SPT) with a dust mite(Df) allergen was carried out to detect the prevalence of mite sensitivity in OPD patients suffering from skin rashes.Among the patients sensitive to mite with SPT ≥++ response, 3 groups were established.In group A, routine SIT with Injectio dermatophagoidei farinae was conducted.In 9-week increasing dose phase, three stepwise increasing volumes(0.3ml, 0.6 ml and 1.0 ml) each case was injected subcutaneously with mite concentration of 1 ∶ 100 000(w/v) , 1 ∶ 10 000(w/v) or 1 ∶ 5 000(w/v) respectively once a week, followed by a maintenance dose phase for an injection with 1 ∶ 5 000(w/v) 1.0 ml/wk for 6 weeks.Group B received rush SIT with mite injections.A total of 15 injections in a course of therapy with same concentration and volume was given as those for the routine ones except shortened intervals, namely, 9 initial injections completed in 3 days by three injections of each concentration per day with two 30 min intervals, maintenancedoses were then provided in 6 days with 1 ∶ 5 000(w/v) 1.0 ml/d.Thereafter, both groups A and B were maintained for one year with a dose of 1 ∶ 5 000(w/v) 1.0 ml every 2 wk.Group C received antihistamine treatment as control, the patients received daily oral Ebastine 10 mg in the morning and Cetirizine dihydrochloride 10 mg in the evening for one week course and pro re nata later.Levels of serum tIgE and serum mite sIgE were detected by ELISA in 20 urticaria cases before and after one year mite SIT.Results Altogether, 2 685 cases with skin rashes were detected by Df allergen SPT.The prevalence of urticaria cases sensitive to mite was 70.3%(1 754/2 496), which was higher than that of eczema 63.5%(54/85) and anaphylactoid purpura 60.6%(63/104)(P
