| 1 | Genotypic Characterization of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus Isolated from Pigs and Retail Foods in China显示文摘Objective To investigate the genotypic diversity of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) isolated from pigs and retail foods from different geographical areas in China and further to study the routes and rates of transmission of this pathogen from animals to food. Methods Seventy-one MRSA isolates were obtained from pigs and retail foods and then characterized by multi-locus sequencing typing(MLST), spa typing, multiple-locus variable number of tandem repeat analysis(MLVA), pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE), and antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Results All isolated MRSA exhibited multi-drug resistance(MDR). Greater diversity was found in food-associated MRSA(7 STs, 8 spa types, and 10 MLVA patterns) compared to pig-associated MRSA(3 STs, 1 spa type, and 6 MLVA patterns). PFGE patterns were more diverse for pig-associated MRSA than those of food-associated isolates(40 vs. 11 pulse types). Among the pig-associated isolates, CC9-ST9-t899-MC2236 was the most prevalent clone(96.4%), and CC9-ST9-t437-MC621(20.0%) was the predominant clone among the food-associated isolates. The CC9-ST9 isolates showed significantly higher antimicrobial resistance than other clones. Interestingly, CC398-ST398-t034 clone was identified from both pig-and food-associated isolates. Of note, some community-and hospital-associated MRSA strains(t030, t172, t1244, and t4549) were also identified as food-associated isolates. Conclusion CC9-ST9-t899-MC2236-MDR was the most predominant clone in pigs, but significant genetic diversity was observed in food-associated MRSA. Our results demonstrate the great need for improved surveillance of MRSA in livestock and food and effective prevention strategies to limit MDR-MRSA infections in China. | WANG Wei LIU Feng ZULQARNAIN Baloch ZHANG Cun Shan MA Ke PENG Zi Xin YAN Shao Fei HU Yu Jie GAN Xin DONG Yin Ping BAI Yao LI Feng Qin YAN Xiao Mei MA Ai Guo XU Jin | 2017 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2017，30，8： | 13 |
| 2 | Exposure Effects of Terahertz Waves on Primary Neurons and Neuron-like Cells Under Nonthermal Conditions显示文摘Objective This study aimed to explore the potential effects of terahertz(THz) waves on primary cultured neurons from 4 rat brain regions(hippocampus, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and brainstem)and 3 kinds of neuron-like cells(MN9 D, PC12, and HT22 cells) under nonthermal conditions.Methods THz waves with an output power of 50(0.16 THz) and 10(0.17 THz) m W with exposure times of 6 and 60 min were used in this study. Analysis of temperature change, neurite growth, cell membrane roughness, micromorphology, neurotransmitters and synaptic-related proteins(SYN and PSD95) was used to evaluate the potential effects.Results Temperature increase caused by the THz wave was negligible. THz waves induced significant neurotransmitter changes in primary hippocampal, cerebellar, and brainstem neurons and in MN9 D and PC12 cells. THz wave downregulated SYN expression in primary hippocampal neurons and downregulated PSD95 expression in primary cortical neurons.Conclusion Different types of cells responded differently after THz wave exposure, and primary hippocampal and cortical neurons and MN9 D cells were relatively sensitive to the THz waves. The biological effects were positively correlated with the exposure time of the THz waves. | TAN Sheng Zhi TAN Peng Cheng LUO Lan Qing CHI Yun Liang YANG Zi Long ZHAO Xue Long ZHAO Li DONG Ji ZHANG Jing YAO Bin Wei XU Xin Ping TIAN Guang CHEN Jian Kui WANG Hui PENG Rui Yun | 2019 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2019，32，10： | 5 |
| 3 | Caprylic Acid Improves Lipid Metabolism, Suppresses the Inflammatory Response and Activates the ABCA1/p-JAK2/pSTAT3 Signaling Pathway in C57BL/6J Mice and RAW264.7 Cells显示文摘Objective This study aimed to investigate the effects of caprylic acid(C8:0)on lipid metabolism and inflammation,and examine the mechanisms underlying these effects in mice and cells.Methods Fifty-six 6-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly allocated to four groups fed a highfat diet(HFD)without or with 2%C8:0,palmitic acid(C16:0)or eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA).RAW246.7 cells were randomly divided into five groups:normal,lipopolysaccharide(LPS),LPS+C8:0,LPS+EPA and LPS+cAMP.The serum lipid profiles,inflammatory biomolecules,and ABCA1 and JAK2/STAT3 mRNA and protein expression were measured.Results C8:0 decreased TC and LDL-C,and increased the HDL-C/LDL-C ratio after injection of LPS.Without LPS,it decreased TC in mice(P<0.05).Moreover,C8:0 decreased the inflammatory response after LPS treatment in both mice and cells(P<0.05).Mechanistic investigations in C57BL/6J mouse aortas after injection of LPS indicated that C8:0 resulted in higher ABCA1 and JAK2/STAT3 expression than that with HFD,C16:0 and EPA,and resulted in lower TNF-α,NF-κB mRNA expression than that with HFD(P<0.05).In RAW 264.7 cells,C8:0 resulted in lower expression of pNF-κBP65 than that in the LPS group,and higher protein expression of ABCA1,p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 than that in the LPS and LPS+cAMP groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Our studies demonstrated that C8:0 may play an important role in lipid metabolism and the inflammatory response,and the mechanism may be associated with ABCA1 and the p-JAK2/p-STAT3 signaling pathway. | ZHANG Xin Sheng ZHANG Peng LIU Ying Hua XU Qing ZHANG Yong LI Hui Zi LIU Lu LIU Yu Meng YANG Xue Yan XUE Chang Yong | 2022 | Biomedical and Environmental Sciences2022，35，2： | 1 |
| 4 | Safety and immunogenicity of a mosaic vaccine booster against Omicron and other SARS-CoV-2 variants:a randomized phase 2 trial显示文摘An ongoing randomized,double-blind,controlled phase 2 trial was conducted to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a mosaic-type recombinant vaccine candidate,named NVSI-06-09,as a booster dose in subjects aged 18 years and older from the United Arab Emirates(UAE),who had administered two or three doses of inactivated vaccine BBIBP-CorV at least 6 months prior to enrollment.The participants were randomly assigned with 1:1 to receive a booster dose of NVSI-06-09 or BBIBP-CorV.The primary outcomes were immunogenicity and safety against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)Omicron variant,and the exploratory outcome was cross-immunogenicity against other circulating strains.Between May 25 and 30,2022,516 adults received booster vaccination with 260 in NVSI-06-09 group and 256 in BBIBP-CorV group.Interim results showed a similar safety profile between two booster groups,with low incidence of adverse reactions of grade 1 or 2.For immunogenicity,by day 14 post-booster,the fold rises in neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers(GMTs)from baseline elicited by NVSI-06-09 were remarkably higher than those by BBIBP-CorV against the prototype strain(19.67 vs 4.47-fold),Omicron BA.1.1(42.35 vs 3.78-fold),BA.2(25.09 vs 2.91-fold),BA.4(22.42 vs 2.69-fold),and BA.5 variants(27.06 vs 4.73-fold).Similarly,the neutralizing GMTs boosted by NVSI-06-09 against Beta and Delta variants were also 6.60-fold and 7.17-fold higher than those by BBIBP-CorV.Our findings indicated that a booster dose of NVSI-06-09 was well-tolerated and elicited broad-spectrum neutralizing responses against divergent SARS-CoV-2 variants,including Omicron and its sub-lineages. | Nawal Al Kaabi Yun Kai Yang Yu Liang Ke Xu Xue Feng Zhang Yun Kang Yu Qin Jin Jun Wei Hou Jing Zhang Tian Yang Salah Hussein Mohamed Saif ElDein Ze Hua Lei Hao Zhang Shuai Shao Zhao Ming Liu Ning Liu Xiang Zheng Ji Guo Su Sen Sen Yang Xiangfeng Cong Yao Tan Wenwen Lei Xue Jun Gao Zhiwei Jiang Hui Wang Meng Li Hanadi Mekki Mekki Walid Zaher Sally Mahmoud Xue Zhang Chang Qu Dan Ying Liu Jing Zhang Mengjie Yang Islam Eltantawy Peng Xiao Fu Jie Shen Jin Juan Wu Zi Bo Han Li Fang Du Fang Tang Shi Chen Zhi Jing Ma Fan Zheng Ya Nan Hou Xin Yu Li Xin Li Zhao Nian Wang Jin Liang Yin Xiao Yan Mao Jin Zhang Liang Qu Yun Tao Zhang Xiao Ming Yang Guizhen Wu Qi Ming Li | 2023 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2023，8，2： | 0 |
| 5 | Measurement of Br(n,γ)cross sections up to stellar s-process temperatures at the CSNS Back‑n显示文摘The neutron capture cross sections(n,γ)of bromine were obtained using the time-of-flight technique at the Back-n facility of the China Spallation Neutron Source.Promptγ-rays originating from neutron-induced capture events were detected using four C_(6)D_(6) detectors.The pulse-height weighting technique and double-bunch unfolding method based on Bayesian theory were used in the data analysis.Background deductions,normalization,and corrections were carefully considered to obtain reliable measurement results.The multilevel R-matrix Bayesian code SAMMY was used to extract the resonance parameters in the resolved resonance region(RRR).The average cross sections in the unresolved resonance region(URR)were obtained from 10 to 400 keV.The experimental results were compared with data from several evaluated libraries and previous experi-ments in the RRR and URR.The TALYS code was used to describe the average cross sections in the URR.The astrophysical Maxwell average cross sections(MACSs)of ^(79,81)Br from kT=5 to 100 keV were calculated over a sufficiently wide range of neutron energies.At a thermal energy of kT=30 keV,the MACS value for ^(79)Br 682±68 mb was in good agreement with the KADoNiS v1.0 recommended value.By contrast,the value of 293±29 mb for ^(81)Br was substantially higher than that of the evaluated database and the KADoNiS v1.0 recommended value. | Gao‑Le Yang Zhen‑Dong An Wei Jiang Xian‑Kai Li Wei‑Wei Qiu Zheng‑Fa Liao Zi‑Yue Zhuang Xiao‑Ping Zhang Sheng‑Li Chen Chen‑Chen Guo Er‑Xi Xiao Xiao Fang Xin‑Xiang Li Xin‑Rong Hu Bing Jiang Jin‑Cheng Wang Jie Ren Wen Luo Zhi‑Chao Zhu Hao‑Yang Lan Zong‑Wei Cao Xu Ma Ying‑Du Liu Pu‑Sen Wang Yi Yang Ping Su Xian‑Gai Deng Wan‑Bing He Chun‑Wang Ma Yu‑Ting Wang Zhi‑Tao Dai Peng‑Qin He Ren‑Guang Tang Tao Zhou Jing Wang Han Yi Yue Zhang Yong‑Hao Chen Rui‑Rui Fan Ke‑Qing Gao Qiang Li Kang Sun Zhi‑Xin Tan Min‑Hao Gu Han‑Tao Jing Jing‑Yu Tang | 2023 | Nuclear Science and Techniques2023，34，11： | 0 |
| 6 | Deciphering transcriptome alterations in bone marrow hematopoiesis at single-cell resolution in immune thrombocytopenia显示文摘Immune thrombocytopenia(ITP)is an autoimmune disorder,in which megakaryocyte dysfunction caused by an autoimmune reaction can lead to thrombocytopenia,although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Here,we performed single-cell transcriptome profiling of bone marrow CD34+hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells(HSPCs)to determine defects in megakaryopoiesis in ITP.Gene expression,cell-cell interactions,and transcriptional regulatory networks varied in HSPCs of ITP,particularly in immune cell progenitors.Differentially expressed gene(DEG)analysis indicated that there was an impaired megakaryopoiesis of ITP.Flow cytometry confirmed that the number of CD9+and HES1+cells from Lin−CD34+CD45RA−HSPCs decreased in ITP.Liquid culture assays demonstrated that CD9+Lin−CD34+CD45RA−HSPCs tended to differentiate into megakaryocytes;however,this tendency was not observed in ITP patients and more erythrocytes were produced.The percentage of megakaryocytes differentiated from CD9+Lin−CD34+CD45RA−HSPCs was 3-fold higher than that of the CD9−counterparts from healthy controls(HCs),whereas,in ITP patients,the percentage decreased to only 1/4th of that in the HCs and was comparable to that from the CD9−HSPCs.Additionally,when co-cultured with pre-B cells from ITP patients,the differentiation of CD9+Lin−CD34+CD45RA−HSPCs toward the megakaryopoietic lineage was impaired.Further analysis revealed that megakaryocytic progenitors(MkP)can be divided into seven subclusters with different gene expression patterns and functions.The ITP-associated DEGs were MkP subtype-specific,with most DEGs concentrated in the subcluster possessing dual functions of immunomodulation and platelet generation.This study comprehensively dissects defective hematopoiesis and provides novel insights regarding the pathogenesis of ITP. | Yan Liu Xinyi Zuo Peng Chen Xiang Hu Zi Sheng Anli Liu Qiang Liu Shaoqiu Leng Xiaoyu Zhang Xin Li Limei Wang Qi Feng Chaoyang Li Ming Hou Chong Chu Shihui Ma Shuwen Wang Jun Peng | 2022 | Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy2022，7，11： | 0 |
| 7 | Reduced graphene oxide membrane as supporting film for high-resolution cryo-EM显示文摘Although single-particle cryogenic electron microscopy(cryo-EM)has been applied extensively for elucidating many crucial biological mechanisms at the molecular level,this technique still faces critical challenges,the major one of which is to prepare the high-quality cryo-EM specimen.Aiming to achieve a more reproducible and efficient cryo-EM specimen preparation,novel supporting films including graphene-based two-dimensional materials have been explored in recent years.Here we report a robust and simple method to fabricate EM grids coated with single-or few-layer reduced graphene oxide(RGO)membrane in large batch for high-resolution cryo-EM structural determination.The RGO membrane has decreased interlayer space and enhanced electrical conductivity in comparison to regular graphene oxide(GO)membrane.Moreover,we found that the RGO supporting film exhibited nice particle-absorption ability,thus avoiding the air-water interface problem.More importantly,we found that the RGO supporting film is particularly useful in cryo-EM reconstruction of sub-100-kDa biomolecules at near-atomic resolution,as exemplified by the study of RBD-ACE2 complex and other small protein molecules.We envision that the RGO membranes can be used as a robust graphene-based supporting film in cryo-EM specimen preparation. | Liu Nan Liming Zheng Jie Xu Jia Wang Cuixia Hu Jun Lan Xing Zhang Jincan Zhang Kui Xu Hang Cheng Zi Yang Xin Gao Xinquan Wang Hailin Peng Yanan Chen Hong-Wei Wang | 2021 | Biophysics Reports2021，7，3： | 0 |
