    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the antidepressant effect and the mechanism of action of Kai-Xin-San (KXS) in fluoxetine-resistant depressive (FRD) rats. Two hundred male Wistar rats weighing 200±10 g were exposed to chronic and unpredictable mild stresses (CUMS) for 4 weeks and given fluoxetine treatment simultaneously. The rats that did not show significant improvement in behavioral indexes were chosen as the FRD model rats. These rats were randomly divided into four groups: FRD model control; oral fluoxetine and aspirin; oral KXS at a dose of 338 mg·kg-1·day-1; and oral KXS at a dose of 676 mg·kg-1·day-1. Rats continued to be exposed to CUMS and underwent treatment once a day for 3 weeks, then cytokine (COX-2, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, TGF-β, and TNF-α) levels in the hippocampus and serum, and organ coefficients were measured. Both doses of KXS improved the crossing and rearing frequencies, sucrose-preference index, and body weight in FRD rats. KXS at a dose of 338 mg·kg-1·day-1reduced COX-2, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α levels, increased IL-10 level in the hippocampus, and reduced IL-2 and TNF-α levels in serum. KXS at a dose of 676 mg·kg-1·day-1reduced TNF-α level in the hippocampus, reduced IL-2 and TNF-α levels in serum, and increased IFN-γ and IL-10 levels in the hippocampus and serum. There were no significant differences in organ-coefficients of the spleen among and between groups. The results suggested that oral administration of KXS in FRD rats was effective in improving behavior disorders by influencing various inflammatory pathways.

    Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the association between two SNPs (rs2235371 and rs2013162) in the interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) gene and non-syndromic cleft palate (NSCP) in northeast China. We genotyped these two SNPs in 104 NSCP cases, ... ...

    Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the association between two SNPs (rs2235371 and rs2013162) in the interferon regulatory factor 6 (IRF6) gene and non-syndromic cleft palate (NSCP) in northeast China. We genotyped these two SNPs in 104 NSCP cases, as well as in 178 parents and 300 controls. Case-control and case-parent analyses were performed using χ2 tests and family-based association tests (FBAT). Results indicated that there were significant differences in both genotypic and allelic distributions between patients and controls at rs2235371 and rs2013162 in the IRF6 gene. Case-parent analysis revealed over-transmission of the C allele in rs2235371 and the A allele in rs2013162. Lastly, FBAT showed over-transmission of the CA haplotype. This study demonstrated that the two SNPs, rs2235371 and rs2013162, are strongly associated with NSCP in the northeast Chinese population.

    Abstract Aims: To optimize the transformation conditions and improve the transformation efficiency of Bacillus subtilis WB800 and DB104. Methods and Results: Trehalose, which could decrease the damage of electric shock to the cells, was added to the electroporation medium containing sorbitol and mannitol. The factors affecting the transformation efficiency, such as the growth phase of bacteria, cell concentration, electric field strength and plasmid variety, were examined and improved. The new method increased the transformation efficiency of B. subtilis by nearly 100‐fold compared with the conventional one. Conclusions: With the optimized method, the transformation efficiency came up to 3·64 × 105 transformants μg−1 DNA for WB800, and 2·10 × 105 transformants μg−1 DNA for DB104. Significance and Impact of the Study: This improvement in transformation efficiency will be largely attributed to the research of expression of exogenous genes in B. subtilis, gene library construction for directed evolution and transformation of wild‐type B. subtilis strains.

    Abstract Aim: This study sought to determine whether urinary connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) was a molecular marker for chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN).
    Methods: F344 rat renal grafts orthotopically transplanted into Lewis rats following the procedure of Kamada were harvested at 4,8,12, or 16 weeks. Morphological changes were studied using hematoxylin eosin (HE) and Masson trichrome stains. Serum creatinine (SCr) was measured. CAN grades were evaluated according to the Banff97 schema. Expressions of CTGF in the kidney and urine were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Western blots, and competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Spearman correlation analysis was used to compare urinary CTGF expression and CAN development.
    Results: SCr levels and Banff scores increased in a time-dependent manner. The expression of CTGF in the graft was markedly elevated compared with the control group. Urine CTGF increased by week 4, and maintained high levels up to week 16. The urinary levels correlated positively with the histological presence of CAN. Thus, urine CTGF concentrations reflected the course of CAN, especially at an early stage.
    Conclusion: CTGF plays a significant role in the pathological changes of CAN after kidney transplantation. Urinary CTGF has the potential to be a biomarker for CAN.

    Abstract Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is a common birth defect. Several WNT genes are involved in craniofacial embryogenesis, and therefore may play an important role in the etiology of NSCL/P. Two SNPs (rs3809857 and rs9890413) in the WNT3 gene were subjected to case-control and case-parent analysis by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in 236 unrelated patients with NSCL/P, including 128 elementary families (185 mothers and 154 fathers), and 400 control individuals from northeast China. The rs3809857 SNP, under the assumption of a dominant model, was found to induce a 2-fold lower risk of NSCL/P ORGG vs GT + TT = 0.605, 95%CI = 0.436-0.839, P = 0.003). Moreover, the family-based association test revealed an under-transmission for the minor allele T. On the other hand, we observed a significant association in the case-control and case-parent analysis of the SNP rs9890413. In addition, the P values for the haplotype of rs3809857-rs9890413 were observed to be statistically significant (P = 0.004). In conclusion, our study confirmed the association between the WNT3 variant and NSCL/P in the population tested.
