Research progress on the correlation between abnormal sperm DNA methylation and semen quality / 中华医学遗传学杂志

DNA methylation as an important aspect of epigenetics plays an important role in spermatogenesis and embryonic development. In recent years, researchers have found that male infertility, in particular abnormal semen quality, is related to abnormal DNA methylation. To further delineate the pathogenesis of male infertility and inspire new ideas for the treatment of male infertility, a comprehensive review over the correlation between abnormal methylation of imprinted genes, repetitive DNA elements and non-imprinted genes, semen quality (including sperm count, morphology, and vitality) and male infertility is provided.

Molecular architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 virus

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an enveloped virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite recent advances in the structural elucidation of SARS-CoV-2 proteins and the complexes of the spike (S) proteins with the cellular receptor ACE2 or neutralizing antibodies, detailed architecture of the intact virus remains to be unveiled. Here we report the molecular assembly of the authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) and subtomogram averaging (STA). Native structures of the S proteins in both pre- and postfusion conformations were determined to average resolutions of 8.7-11 [A]. Compositions of the N-linked glycans from the native spikes were analyzed by mass-spectrometry, which revealed highly similar overall processing states of the native glycans to that of the recombinant glycoprotein glycans. The native conformation of the ribonucleoproteins (RNP) and its higher-order assemblies were revealed. Overall, these characterizations have revealed the architecture of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in unprecedented detail, and shed lights on how the virus packs its [~]30 kb long single-segmented RNA in the [~]80 nm diameter lumen.

Patient-derived mutations impact pathogenicity of SARS-CoV-2

The sudden outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has spread globally with more than 1,300,000 patients diagnosed and a death toll of 70,000. Current genomic survey data suggest that single nucleotide variants (SNVs) are abundant. However, no mutation has been directly linked with functional changes in viral pathogenicity. We report functional characterizations of 11 patient-derived viral isolates. We observed diverse mutations in these viral isolates, including 6 different mutations in the spike glycoprotein (S protein), and 2 of which are different SNVs that led to the same missense mutation. Importantly, these viral isolates show significant variation in cytopathic effects and viral load, up to 270-fold differences, when infecting Vero-E6 cells. Therefore, we provide direct evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 has acquired mutations capable of substantially changing its pathogenicity.

Biomechanical analysis and clinical application of 3D printed bone tumor prosthesis of lower limb / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To design 3D printed prosthesis in an individualized way and explore the short-term clinical efficacy of reconstruction of segmental defect after resection of bone tumor in lower extremities with 3D-printed prosthesis.Methods:From January 2017 to June 2019, 6 patients with lower limb bone tumor who met the inclusion criteria were recruited, including 3 males and 3 females, aged 8.67±1.11 years (range 6-11 years). All 6 cases were primary bone tumors, and the Enneking stages were all IIB, including 3 cases of left tibial tumors, 2 cases of right tibial tumors, and 1 case of right femoral tumor. These 3D-printed prostheses were designed based on the preoperative imaging data. The mechanical stability of the prosthesis was evaluated by three-dimensional finite element analysis. After tumor resection, the 3D-printed prosthesis was installed and fixed to reconstruct the segmental bone defect. All patients were clinically followed up and evaluated by imaging regularly after operation. The functional status was assessed by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score. Oncology results and complications were recorded in detail.Results:All operations were successfully performed, including 3 cases underwent left tibial tumor resection, 2 cases underwent right tibial tumor resection, and 1 case underwent right femoral tumor resection. The length of the bone defect after tumor resection was 18.19±3.74 cm, the average operation time was 165.83±54.17 min, and the average intraoperative bleeding was 233.33±133.33 ml. These finite element analysis data show that the overall stress of these prostheses are lower than the maximum mechanical strength of the corresponding materials. These 3D printed prostheses match well with the excision defect and meet the expected effect. There were no adverse reactions during the operation. The mean follow-up period was 16.83±7.17 months. At the last follow-up, all patients survived without tumor recurrence or metastasis. Postoperative imaging results showed that all the implants were stable without complications such as peripheral infection, aseptic loosening, prosthesis fracture. These 3D-printed prostheses composite resulted in substantial bone integration at follow-up. The average MSTS score was 83.67%±9.11%.Conclusion:The individualized 3D printed prosthesis can be used to reconstruct the bone defect after the resection of osteosarcoma in the lower extremities, and the clinical efficacy was satisfactory in the short-term follow-up.
