Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of hemoperfusion (HP) combined with hemodialysis (HD) (HD+HP) on protein energy wasting (PEW) and long-term prognosis in patients on maintenance HD (MHD). Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort study was conducted. Adult MHD patients who completed PEW assessment and underwent regular dialysis between July 2015 and July 2021 at 23 hemodialysis centers in Guizhou Province were selected. Demographic characteristics, physical indicators, laboratory indicators, 3-day diet diary and HP treatment data of the subjects were collected. The patients were divided into different groups according to the presence or absence of HP, the frequency of HP treatment and the type of cartridge, and then relevant indicators were compared. Multivariate logistic regression model and Cox proportional regression model were used to analyze the influence of HP treatment on PEW risk in MHD patients. Meanwhile, Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot the survival curve. Results: A total of 4 623 MHD patients (2 789 males and 1 834 females) aged (53.7±15.9) years were included in the study, with a median dialysis age of 64.3 (44.3, 92.3) months. There were 3 429 (74.2%) MHD patients treated with HD+HP, and 1 194 patients (25.8%) were not treated with HP. According to the 2008 diagnostic criteria of the International Society for Renal Nutrition and Metabolism (ISRNM), the incidence of PEW was 26.0% (1 204/4 623). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=2.48, 95%CI: 1.55-3.95, P<0.001), diabetes (OR=1.75, 95%CI: 1.08-2.83, P=0.024) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) (OR=1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.03, P=0.003) were risk factors for PEW, while treatment with HD+HP (OR=0.51, 95%CI: 0.31-0.87, P=0.012) and elevated triglyceride levels (OR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.48-0.80, P<0.001) were protective factors. Cox hazard ratio regression showed that among different HP treatment frequencies and cartridge types, 2 times/month (HR=0.40, 95%CI: 0.17-0.95, P=0.037), 3 times/month (HR=0.44, 95%CI: 0.23-0.85, P=0.014), 4 times/month (HR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.34-0.85, P=0.008), HA130 (HR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.36-0.89, P=0.014) and HA230 (HR=0.30, 95%CI: 0.15-0.63, P=0.001) had protective effects on the occurrence of PEW in MHD patients. The all-cause mortality rate was 11.3% (521/4 623) at 33 (24, 48) months of follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients undergoing 4 times/month HP treatment (χ2=36.78, P<0.001) and using HA230 (χ2=9.46, P=0.002) had the highest survival rate. Conclusion: Treatment with HD+HP is a protective factor for PEW in patients with MHD, and 4 times/month HP treatment or HA230 significantly reduces the risk of PEW and all-cause mortality in patients with MHD.

Abstract
Intraglandular injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) is an effective treatment for sialorrhea. Despite numerous experimental and clinical studies on inhibition of saliva section by BoNT/A, the proteolysis of synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) following BoNT/A treatment has not yet been confirmed in the salivary gland after injection of BoNT/A. More important, it is not known whether BoNT/A exerts a direct effect in acinar cells. Here, we show that injection of BoNT/A into the rat submandibular gland (SMG) decreased salivary flow in a dose-dependent manner; the inhibitory effect lasted at least 4 wk, and salivary flow recovered to normal levels by 12 wk. During the inhibitory period, SMG neurons and synapses expressed lower levels of full-length SNAP-25, and cleavage of SNAP-25 was observed, as indicated by detection of reduced molecular weight SNAP-25 using Western blotting. In addition, the water channel aquaporin 5 (AQP5) was downregulated and abnormally distributed in rat SMG after injection of BoNT/A. The direct effects of BoNT/A on AQP5 expression and distribution were assessed in vitro to exclude the influence of BoNT/A-induced inhibitory neurotransmission. In stable GFP-AQP5-transfected SMG-C6 cells, treatment with BoNT/A reduced the cell surface protein level of AQP5 in a dose- and time-dependent manner without affecting total AQP5 protein expression. Cell surface biotinylation and immunofluorescence demonstrated translocation of AQP5 from the membrane to the cytoplasm, which was confirmed by decreased levels of AQP5 protein in the membrane fraction and increased levels in the cytoplasmic fraction, suggestive of AQP5 redistribution. Taken together, these results indicated that BoNT/A reversibly decreased saliva secretion in rat SMGs through not only the presynaptic SNAP-25 cleavage but also the postsynaptic AQP5 redistribution. These data provide the first evidence for a direct effect of BoNT/A on the salivary gland.

Abstract
Autologous transplantation of the submandibular gland is an effective treatment for severe dry eye syndrome. However, more than 40% of patients experience epiphora 3 to 6 months after transplantation. The underlying mechanism of epiphora remains to be elucidated. To investigate the potential roles of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) in the induction of epiphora in transplanted glands, we assessed and found elevated mRNA and protein expression of M1- and M3-mAChR in transplanted glands from epiphora patients. The content of inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate was also elevated. Moreover, carbachol (5 and 10 µM) induced greater increase of [Ca(2+)]i in isolated epiphora submandibular cells than in controls. Although aquaporin-5 (AQP5) content and distribution in the apical and lateral plasma of epiphora glands did not change, AQP5 content was reduced in lipid microdomains (lipid rafts and caveolae) but increased in non-lipid microdomains compared with controls. Carbachol (10 µM) increased the ratio of non-lipid microdomain to total AQP5 in the cultured control submandibular gland tissue. Taken together, these results indicated that hypersensitive mAChRs might be involved in the epiphora of transplanted submandibular glands by modulating AQP5 trafficking.

Abstract
This article reports the effects of gossypol at the genomic level in rat spermatogenic cells. After gossypol treatment for various times (8, 12, and 19 weeks), the spermatogonial cells were allowed to rest for 2 to 4 weeks. The function of histone H4 gene promoter (H4GP) in the repopulating pachytene spermatocytes (RPS) was investigated. The sequences of the oligonucleotides for the H4GP binding sites 1 and 2 were synthesized by an ABI-392 DNA synthesizer. RPS and the control pachytene spermatocytes (CPS) were obtained by centrifugal elutriation and subsequently they were used for the preparation of nuclear protein extracts (NPE). The NPE interaction with the DNA fragment of site 1 or 2 was studied by an electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA). EMSA with NPE-CPS revealed ten major gel shift bands for site 1 and 2. The presence of extra unlabelled DNA fragments competed with 6 of the bands. After 2 to 4 weeks recovery from 8, 12, and 19 weeks of gossypol treatment, NPE-RPS failed to shift four bands (b through e) in site 1. These results suggested that gossypol treatment affected the transcription factors for interaction with site 1. On the contrary, no effect was demonstrated in NPE that interacted with site 2. Furthermore, gossypol treatment did not change the nucleotide sequence in the H4GP site 1 and 2.

Abstract
Anti-hepatitis B core (anti-HBc) screening is now used in some countries as a surrogate test to reduce the incidence of posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis. The purpose of this study was to develop and standardize an alternate assay, for the detection of anti-HBc, based on a direct-binding enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (db-ELISA). Microtiter plates were coated with recombinant DNA hepatitis B core antigen. Patient antibody was detected spectrophotometrically using a goat, anti-human immunoglobulin conjugated with horseradish peroxidase. The db-ELISA was compared to a standard competitive-binding ELISA (cb-ELISA). A competitive-binding radioimmunoassay (cb-RIA) was used as the reference assay for this study. The specificity of the cb-ELISA was 50% and the positive predictive value was 64% when compared to the cb-RIA. The specificity and positive predictive value of the db-ELISA were both 97% when compared to the cb-RIA. Based on titration studies, the sensitivity of the db-ELISA is at least equal to the cb-RIA. Based on the data generated in this study, the db-ELISA appears to be an acceptable screening test for anti-HBc.

Abstract
Four silvered leaf monkeys, inoculated with a virus-like infectious agent (VLIA) derived from transformed NIH/3T3 cells (sb51) transfected with Kaposi's sarcoma DNA of an AIDS patient, showed wasting syndromes and died in 7-9 months. Two monkeys had a transient lymphadenopathy in earlier stages. Two moribund animals showed lymphopenia. Although 3 of the VLIA inoculated monkeys had persistent low grade fever early in the infection, the animals became afebrile in the later stages. One VLIA inoculated animal had a prominent antibody response, which occurred 7 months after VLIA inoculation. The other 3 monkeys had a transient or poor antibody response in the later stages. These 3 animals revealed periodic VLIA antigenemia during the course of the experiment. A control monkey was killed 8 months after the last VLIA inoculated monkey succumbed and showed neither an antibody response nor evidence of antigenemia. VLIA-specific DNA could be directly detected in necropsy tissues of all 4 monkeys inoculated with VLIA using the polymerase chain reaction method. VLIA infection was identified in all 4 spleens, 2 of 4 livers, 1 of 2 kidneys, and all 3 brains tested from these 4 animals, but not in the tissues from the control monkey. The necropsy examination of the 4 VLIA inoculated animals revealed no opportunistic infections, acute inflammatory lesions, malignancy or cause of death other than VLIA infection. We believe that the VLIA caused a fatal systemic infection in these monkeys.

Abstract
A novel virus-like infectious agent (VLIA), obtained by direct transfection of DNA from Kaposi's sarcoma of a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), was transmissible from culture to culture by cell-free filtrate. VLIA contained an outer limiting membrane and had a buoyant density of 1.17-1.20 g/ml in a sucrose gradient. The DNA genome of VLIA was estimated to be greater than 150 kilobase (kb) pairs and carried repetitive sequences. An 8.6 kb pair cloned probe (psb-8.6) and a 2.2 kb pair cloned probe (psb-2.2) of VLIA detected specific sequences in DNA of VLIA infected cells, but not in DNA of uninfected NIH/3T3 cells. By Southern blot hybridization analysis, VLIA was distinct from all known members of human herpes virus, from vaccinia virus, monkey herpes virus saimiri (HVS), and mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV). Using synthetic primers with the VLIA specific DNA sequences and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, we detected VLIA sequences in DNA isolated from 7 out of 10 patients with AIDS. VLIA infection was identified in spleen, liver, brain, lymph node, Kaposi's sarcoma tissues, or peripheral blood mononuclear cells from these patients, but not in 5 different organs and a tumor from 5 subjects without AIDS. Antiserum raised against VLIA in rabbit positively immunostained brain and lymph node tissues from these AIDS patients.

Abstract
To detect inapparent infection with hepatitis A virus, serial sera were collected from patients with hepatitis A and their contacts in two waterborne epidemics in China. Epidemic 1 occurred in a rural village near Hangzhou during August 1978-January 1979, and epidemic 2 took place in a rural primary school in Pinghu County in Zhejiang in April-May 1985. These sera were tested for antibodies against hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV), serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) activity, and icteric index. Feces also were collected in epidemic 1 to test for hepatitis A virus antigen. Both anti-HAV immunoglobulin M (IgM) and total anti-HAV were assayed in sera from "healthy persons" (symptomless persons without icterus and with normal SGPT level) who were in close contact with hepatitis A patients. In epidemic 1, among 18 "healthy persons", 12 were anti-HAV IgM positive, two were immune, and four susceptibles escaped infection. In epidemic 2, among 32 "healthy children", three were anti-HAV IgM positive, five had been infected by hepatitis A virus in the past, and 24 were not infected. These results demonstrate that inapparent infections occur along with overt and subclinical infections during epidemics of hepatitis A. The proportions of inapparent, subclinical, and overt infections were, respectively, 34.3%, 45.7%, and 20% in epidemic 1, and 25%, 50%, and 25% in epidemic 2. In addition, hepatitis A virus particles were demonstrated in the feces of all infected subjects who were examined and who included all levels of clinical response. These particles were identified with immuno-electron microscopy and enzyme-linked immunoassay.

Abstract
Both excess dietary vitamin E and vitamin E deficiency in rats can significantly depress the activity of GSH peroxidase in liver and plasma of rats. Of all the six levels of vitamin E tested in this study, the dietary level of vitamin E found to maintain the maximum activity of GSH peroxidase in tissues of rats was somewhere between 25 and 250 IU/kg diet. This study conclusively indicates that the excess dietary vitamin E represses GSH peroxidase activity.
