    Abstract Cryptochrome 1 (CRY1) functions as a light‐responsive photoreceptor, which is crucial for circadian rhythms. The identity and function of CRY1 in Plutella xylostella remain unknown. In this study, cry1 was cloned and identified in P. xylostella. Then, a cry1‐knockout strain (Cry1‐KO) of P. xylostella with a 2‐bp deletion was established from the strain Geneva 88 (G88) using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology. No daily temporal oscillation of cry1 was observed in G88 and Cry1‐KO, and cry1 mean daily transcription of Cry1‐KO was lower than that of G88. Both G88 and Cry1‐KO demonstrated rhythmic locomotion under the light/dark condition with Cry1‐KO being more active than G88 in the daytime, whereas Cry1‐KO completely lost rhythmicity under constant darkness. The developmental period of pre‐adult of Cry1‐KO was longer than that of G88; the lifespan of the Cry1‐KO male adult was shorter than that of G88; the fecundity of Cry1‐KO was lower than that of G88; and Cry1‐KO showed lower intrinsic rate of increase (r), net reproduction rate (R₀), finite increase rate (λ), and longer mean generation time (T) than G88. Our results indicate that cry1 is involved in the regulation of locomotor circadian rhythm and development in P. xylostella, providing a potential target gene for controlling the pest and a basis for further investigation on circadian rhythms in lepidopterans.

    Abstract Student-teacher relationships (STRs) have been examined by many studies. However, an omission still exists, the existing scales are not appropriate for studying STRs in private colleges because of the special character of these schools. This paper presents the development and validation of Private-College Student-Teacher Relationship Scale (PCSTRS), the first instrument to evaluate student-teacher relationships (STRs) in private colleges. The PCSTRS has six dimensions: trust, interaction, intimacy, care, approval, and comfort. In our main study, the validity and reliability of the six-factor PCSTRS model were demonstrated. The result of internal consistency coefficient indicated the high reliability of the scale, and the result of concurrent validity indicated the significant correlational relationships between the PCSTRS with other STR measures. In supplementary study, the PCSTRS was administered to 360 participants to confirm the applicability of PCSTRS and investigate the relation of STRs and students' traits, performance, and wellbeing, as well as the differences between the private school and the public school in this relation; the analyses revealed that there were significant differences in trust, intimacy, and care between private and public colleges; positive correlations were found between STRs and self-esteem, self-efficacy, academic performance, extracurricular activity involvement, and subjective wellbeing. Present research firstly develops the PCSTRS, examined the reliability and validity, and provides the proposed nomological network among related constructs.

    Abstract It has been shown that contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) can be attenuated by the administration of PGE1. As an enzyme responsible for the production of PGE1, PTGS1 was confirmed in this study as a miR-512 target. Meanwhile, HULC has been identified as a competing endogenous RNA of miR-512. Therefore, in this study, we tested the diagnostic value of HULC and miR-512 in subjects with or without CIN. In addition, we evaluated the regulatory relationship among HULC, miR-512, PTGS1 and PGE1 in vitro. We enrolled 320 patients with coronary heart disease and divided them into a CIN group and a non-CIN group. Subsequently, we detected the differential expression of miR-512, HULC and PGE1 in the two groups. We also used a dual luciferase reporter assay to evaluate the regulatory relationship among HULC, miR-512, PTGS1 and PGE1 in THP-1 cells. In patients with CIN, the expression levels of HULC and PGE1 were lower, but the expression level of miR-512 was higher. MiR-512 could directly bind to and negatively regulate the expression of PTGS1 and HULC. The expression of HULC was positively correlated with the expression of PTGS1 and PGE1, while negatively correlated with the expression of miR-512. The findings of this study demonstrated that deregulation of lncRNA-HULC/miR-512/PTGS1/PGE1 might be involved in the pathogenesis of CIN.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Opsins are crucial for animal vision. The identity and function of opsins in Plutella xylostella remain unknown. The aim of the research is to confirm which opsin gene(s) contribute to phototaxis of P. xylostella. RESULTS: LW‐opsin, BL‐opsin and UV‐opsin, were identified in the P. xylostella genome. LW‐opsin was more highly expressed than the other two opsin genes, and all three genes were specifically expressed in the head. Three P. xylostella strains, LW‐13 with a 13‐bp deletion in LW‐opsin, BL + 2 with a 2‐bp insertion in BL‐opsin, and UV‐29 with a 5‐bp insertion and a 34‐bp deletion in UV‐opsin, were established from the strain G88 using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Among the three opsin‐knockout strains, only male and female LW‐13 exhibited weaker phototaxis to lights of different wavelengths and white light than G88 at 2.5 lx due to defective locomotion, and LW‐13 was defective to sense white, green and infrared lights. The locomotion of LW‐13 was reduced compared with G88 at 2.5, 10, 20, 60, 80, 100, and 200 lx under the green light, but the locomotion of LW‐13 female was recovered at 80, 100 and 200 lx. The defective phototaxis to the green light of male LW‐13 was not affected by light intensity, while the defective phototaxis to the green light of female LW‐13 was recovered at 10, 20, 60, 80, 100, and 200 lx. CONCLUSION: LW‐opsin is involved in light sensing and locomotion of P. xylostella, providing a potential target gene for controlling the pest. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract This paper presents a novel method for enhancing the electroluminescence (EL) efficiency of ten-period silicon-rich oxide (SRO)/SiO2 superlattice-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A hydrogen ion beam (HIB) was used to irradiate each SRO layer of the superlattices to increase the interfacial roughness on the nanoscale and the density of the Si nanocrystals (Si NCs). Fowler-Nordheim (F-N) tunneling was the major mechanism for injecting the carriers into the Si NCs. The barrier height of the F-N tunneling was lowered by forming a nano-roughened interface and the nonradiative Pb centers were passivated through the HIB treatment. Additionally, the reflectance of the LEDs was lowered because of the nano-roughened interface. These factors considerably increased the slope efficiency of EL and the maximum output power of the LEDs. The lighting efficiency increased by an order of magnitude, and the turn-on voltage decreased considerably. This study established an efficient approach for obtaining bright Si NC/SiO2 superlattice-based LEDs.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter closure of ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva (RAVS) using a domestic made small-waist ventricular septal defect occluder.
    Methods: Between September 2005 and December 2010, transcatheter closure of RAVS was randomly performed in 7 patients of (43.5 ± 13.0) years old using domestic made small-waist ventricular septal defect occluder in our department. RAVS was diagnosed by color Doppler echocardiography. The size of the small-waist double-disk occlude selected was 4 to 6 mm larger than the narrowest diameter of the opening of aneurysm. After establishment of the arteriovenous wire loop, the device was deployed by retrograde venous approach in all patients. All patients were followed up in terms of rhythm change, residual shunt, shape of occlude, and possible valve regurgitation by echocardiography for 6 to 12 months.
    Results: All RAVS were confirmed by aortography. Aortography showed rupture of right coronary sinus into the right ventricle in 6 patients and non-coronary sinus ruptured into right ventricle in another patient. The estimated size of the defect was 4 to 7 (5.0 ± 1.3) mm by aortogram. Ventricular septal defect was evidenced in 2 patients. All defects were successfully occluded without complication. Two patients with ventricular septal defect received combined percutaneous ventricular septal defect closure. After transcatheter RAVS occlusion, pulmonary artery systolic pressure decreased from (35.6 ± 12.7) mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa) to (27.4 ± 6.2) mm Hg (P < 0.05), and mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased from (21.9 ± 8.0) mm Hg to (16.1 ± 5.3) mm Hg (P < 0.05). Cardiac murmur disappeared right after successful occlusion. Echocardiography detected a trace of residual shunt in one patient after occlusion which disappeared the next day. There was no aortic regurgitation, hemolysis and arrhythmia during hospitalization. There was no device embolization, infective endocarditis, right heart failure and death during the 6 to 12 months follow-up.
    Conclusion: Transcatheter closure of RAVS with the domestic made small-waist ventricular septal defect occluder is safe and effective.
