Development and evaluation of a direct TaqMan qPCR assay for the rapid detection of diverse carnivore amdoparvoviruses. Mol Cell Probes 2019; 48:101448.

Abstract
Amdoparvoviruses infect carnivore species, including mink, raccoon dog, fox, skunk, and red panda. Amdoparvovirus infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in farmed minks. Here, we developed a direct TaqMan qPCR assay for detection and quantification of carnivore amdoparvoviruses by using three primers and one probe based on the conserved VP2 gene. The detection limit for Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) and Raccoon dog and arctic fox amdoparvovirus (RFAV) were 4.06 × 101 copies/μl and 2.93 × 101 copies/μl, respectively. Both intra- and inter-assay variability were less than 2%. Among 74 carnivore samples, the positive rates for amdoparvoviruses were 62.2% (46/74) by direct TaqMan qPCR, while only 40.5% (30/74) by SYBR Green I qPCR. This result suggests that the direct TaqMan qPCR was more sensitive than the SYBR Green I qPCR. Additionally, the direct TaqMan qPCR is a rapid and sensitive method for liquid samples at microliter level as the assay employed the direct alkaline lysis method to obtain viral DNA and, therefore, eliminated the cumbersome steps in extracting DNA. Overall, the direct TaqMan qPCR assay possessed high specificity, sensitivity, and reproducibility, indicating that it can be used as a powerful tool for detection and quantification of various carnivore amdoparvoviruses in epidemiological and pathogenesis studies.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-activated protein kinase 2 (MK2), a direct substrate of p38 MAPK, plays key roles in multiple cellular processes. In the present study, we showed that MK2 affected not only cumulus expansion, but also the oocyte meiotic cell cycle in porcine oocytes. Inhibition of MK2 arrested oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage or the prometaphase I/metaphase I stage. Unlike in mouse oocytes, where phosphorylated (p-) MK2 was localised at the minus end of spindle microtubules and close to the spindle poles, in porcine oocytes p-MK2 was concentrated at the spindle equator and localised at the plus end of spindle microtubules. Knockdown or inhibition of MK2 resulted in spindle defects: spindles were surrounded by irregular chromosome non-disjunction or by chromosomes detached from the spindles. MK2 regulated spindle organisation and chromosome alignment by connecting microtubules with kinetochores. In addition, unlike in mitotic cells and meiotic mouse oocytes, the MK2-p38 MAPK pathway may not play an important role during meiotic cell cycle in porcine oocytes. In conclusion, MK2 is an important regulator of porcine oocyte meiotic maturation.

Abstract
Objective:To discuss the characteristic of the clinical pathological voice and the feasibility of computer automatic identification of pathological voice.Method:A total of 129 clinical patients with polyp of vocal cord were selected as the pathological voice group, while a total of 125 people with normal voice were selected from the community as the control group. Praat software was used to collect and analyze the related acoustic parameter values of two groups of cases, including Jitter, Shimmer, harmonic to noise ratio (HNR), signal to noise ratio (SNR), and normalized noise energy (NNE). Pathological voice group and control group were used as training set and testing set for neural network testing, and another 140 cases of pathological voice and normal voice data were selected as a validation set. SPSS Modeler was used for artificial neural network reconstruction to calculate the identification rate of pathological voice. Result:This study found according to the calculation of groups with different genders that Jitter, Shimmer and NNE were increased in pathological voice group compared with the normal group (P< 0.05), while HNR and SNR were decreased compared with the normal group (P< 0.05). Recognition rate of artificial neural network model on pathological voice is 75.7%.Conclusion:Objective voice analysis is helpful in the identification of pathological voice. Artificial neural network has higher accuracy in recognition of pathological voice, with good clinical application value.

Sodium fluoride disrupts DNA methylation of H19 and Peg3 imprinted genes during the early development of mouse embryo. Arch Toxicol 2013; 88:241-8.

Abstract
Sodium fluoride (NaF) is associated with embryonic and fetal development abnormalities, but the mechanism by which this occurs is unclear. DNA methylation, an important epigenetic reprogramming mechanism, is essential for normal embryonic development. Thus, we investigated the effect of NaF on DNA methylation in early mouse embryos, as well as mouse sperm and liver using bisulfite sequencing and ELISA. Data indicate that H19, a paternally imprinted gene, compared to control embryos, was less methylated in 8-cell embryos from pregnant mice treated with NaF (100 mg/l) in drinking water for 48 h. Peg3, a maternally imprinted gene, and the Line1 repeated sequence were similarly methylated in NaF-treated and control embryos. Oral ingestion of NaF for 35 days did not significantly change Line1 and genomic global DNA methylation in the liver. H19, Rasgrf1, Line1, and genomic global DNA methylation were also similar in NaF-treated and control sperm. Female mice mated with NaF-treated male mice (35 days) had less methylated H19, but Peg3 was significantly more methylated. Line1 was similarly methylated in treated 8-cell embryos, compared to control embryos. NaF treatment of male mice before copulation significantly increased the expression of H19 in blastocysts, whereas H19 expression was not detected in 8-cell embryos. Data suggest that NaF may interact directly with the embryo to disrupt the maintenance of normal gene imprinting during pregnancy. Long-term NaF exposure of males may not directly affect DNA methylation of the sperm and liver, but the sperm may signal to early embryos with abnormal gene imprinting.

Abstract
P38αMAPK (p38α) is usually activated in response to various stresses and plays a role in the inhibition of cell proliferation and tumor progression, but little is known about its roles in meiotic spindle assembly. In this study, we characterized the dynamic localization of p38α and explored its function in mouse oocyte meiotic maturation. P38α specifically colocalized with γ-tubulin and Plk1 at the center of MTOCs and spindle poles. Depletion of p38α by specific morpholino injection resulted in severely defective spindles and misaligned chromosomes probably via MK2 dephosphorylation. Notably, depletion of p38α led to significant spindle pole defects, spindle elongation, non-tethered kinetochore microtubules and increased microtubule tension. The disruption of spindle stability was coupled with decreased γ-tubulin and Plk1 at MTOCs. Overexpression of Eg5, a conserved motor protein, also caused spindle elongation and its morpholino injection almost completely rescued spindle elongation caused by p38α depletion. In addition, p38α-depletion decreased BubR1 and interfered with spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC), which resulted in aneuploid oocytes. Together, these data indicate that p38α is an important component of MTOCs, which regulates spindle assembly and spindle length, as well as stabilizes the spindle and spindle poles. Perturbed SAC and abnormal microtubule tension may be responsible for the misaligned chromosomes and high aneuploidy in p38α-depleted mouse oocytes.

Abstract
Survivin is a member of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs), which have multiple regulatory functions in mitosis, but its roles in meiosis remain unknown. Here, we report its expression, localization and functions in mouse oocyte meiosis. Survivin displayed a maximal expression level in GV stage, and then gradually decreased from Pro-MI to MII stages. Immunofluorescent staining showed that survivin was restricted to the germinal vesicle, associated with centromeres from pro-metaphase I to metaphase I stages, distributed at the midzone and midbody of anaphase and telophase spindles, and located to centromeres at metaphase II stages. Depletion of survivin by antibody injection and morpholino injection resulted in severe chromosome misalignment, precocious polar body extrusion, and larger-than-normal polar bodies. Overexpression of survivin resulted in severe chromosome misalignment and prometaphase I or metaphase I arrest in a large proportion of oocytes. Our data suggest that survivin is required for chromosome alignment and that it may regulate spindle checkpoint activity during mouse oocyte meiosis.

Abstract
The role of androgen and androgen receptors (ARs) in males has been well established. This steroid and its receptor also exist in follicles, but their functions are still unclear. In this study, using a culture system containing a low dose of hypoxanthine, we revealed the positive contribution of testosterone to oocyte meiotic resumption. By performing ultracentrifugation to allow clear visualization of porcine germinal vesicles, our results provide evidence that mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the oocyte itself but not in cumulus cells was activated before germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) after testosterone treatment. We further explored the signal cascade of testosterone-triggered GVBD and showed significant contributions of AR to testosterone-induced MAPK activation and GVBD. By using a potent and selective inhibitor of SRC and detecting activation of the kinase, we found that testosterone activated SRC in oocytes but not in cumulus cells and that SRC (as an essential upstream molecule of MAPK) mediated this testosterone- and AR-promoted reinitiation of meiosis. The present findings propose an undefined signaling pathway and suggest the potential competence of testosterone for meiotic resumption in mammalian oocytes.

Abstract
Our recent studies have shown that MEK1/2 is a critical regulator of microtubule organization and spindle formation during oocyte meiosis. In the present study, we found that Plk1 colocalized with p-MEK1/2 at various meiotic stages after GVBD when microtubule began to organize. Also, Plk1 was able to coimmunoprecipitate with p-MEK1/2 in metaphase I stage mouse oocyte extracts, further confirming their physical interaction. Taxol-treated oocytes exhibited a number of cytoplasmic asters, in which both Plk1 and p-MEK1/2 were present, indicating that they might be complexed to participate in the acentrosomal spindle formation at the MTOCs during oocyte meiosis. Depolymerization of microtubules by nocodazole resulted in the complete disassembly of spindles, but Plk1 remained associated with p-MEK1/2, accumulating in the vicinity of chromosomes. More importantly, when p-MEK1/2 activity was blocked by U0126, Plk1 lost its normal localization at the spindle poles, which might be one of the most vital factors causing the abnormal spindles in MEK1/2-inhibited oocytes. Taken together, these data indicate that Plk1 and MEK1/2 regulate the spindle formation in the same pathway and that Plk1 is involved in MEK1/2-regulated spindle assembly during mouse oocyte meiotic maturation.

PI3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase in cumulus cells mediate EGF-induced meiotic resumption of porcine oocyte. Domest Anim Endocrinol 2008; 34:360-71.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that epidermal growth factor (EGF) has the ability to promote in vitro cultured porcine oocyte maturation. However, little is known about the detailed downstream events in EGF-induced meiotic resumption. We designed this study to determine the relationship of EGF, EGFR, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase), MAPK, and germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) during oocyte maturation. Our results showed that GVBD in cumulus-enclosed oocytes (CEOs) but not in denuded oocytes (DOs) was induced by EGF in a dose-dependent manner, which indicated that cumulus cells but not oocyte itself were the main target for EGF-induced meiotic resumption. Furthermore, we found that MAPK in cumulus cells rather than in oocyte was activated immediately after EGF administration. To explore whether EGF exerts its functions through MAPK pathway, the activities of EGF receptor (EGFR) and MAPK were inhibited by employing AG1478 and U0126, respectively. Inhibition of MAPK blocked EGF-induced GVBD, whereas inhibition of EGFR prevented MAPK activation. Both AG1478 and U0126 could lead to the failure of EGF-induced GVBD singly. Notably, we found that LY294002, a specific inhibitor of PI3-kinase, effectively inhibited EGF-induced MAPK activation as well as subsequent oocyte meiotic resumption and this inhibition could not be reversed by adding additional EGF. Thus, PI3-kinase-induced MAPK activation in cumulus cells mediated EGF-induced meiotic resumption in porcine CEOs. Together, this study provides evidences demonstrating a linear relationship of EGF/EGFR, PI3-kinase, MAPK and GVBD and presents a relatively definitive mechanism of EGF-induced meiotic resumption of porcine oocyte.

Abstract
To gain a better understanding of the methylation imprinting changes associated with heat stress in early development, we used bisulfite sequencing and bisulfite restriction analysis to examine the DNA methylation status of imprinted genes in early embryos (blastocysts). The paternal imprinted genes, H19 and Igf-2r, had lower methylation levels in heat-stressed embryos than in control embryos, whereas the maternal imprinted genes, Peg3 and Peg1, had similar methylation pattern in heat-stressed embryos and in control embryos. Our results indicate that heat stress may induce aberrant methylation imprinting, which results in developmental failure of mouse embryos, and that the effects of heat shock on methylation imprinting may be gene-specific.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the susceptibility of Anopheles anthropophagus and Anopheles sinensis to deltamethrin and DDT in an area where different counter-measures had been adopted. METHODS The mortality of the vectors was examined by using the standardised WHO test. RESULTS The mortality for tentative diagnostic dose in An. anthropophagus to deltamethrin were 83.8%, 83.7% and 84.7%, respectively in the areas where impregnated net had been used for 1 year or 3 years and DDT residual spraying had been carried out for 3 years, suggesting that An. anthropophagus was an initially resistant group. The LT50 were 8.69, 7.48 and 9.87 min, respectively. The mortality for tentative diagnostic dose in An. sinensis to deltamethrin and DDT were 76.5%, 57.0% and 79.0%, respectively in three survey areas, suggesting that An. sinensis was a resistant group. The LT50 were 12.0, 15.4 and 11.2 min, respectively. The mortality for tentative diagnostic dose in An. sinensis to DDT was 95.8% in impregnated net area, suggesting that An. anthropophagus was an initially resistant group. The LC50 was 0.73%. The mortality for tentative diagnostic dose in An. sinensis to DDT was 44%, suggesting that An. sinensis was a highly resistant group. The LC50 was more than 4%. CONCLUSION A substantial use of insecticides in the rice paddy field has resulted in resistance of An. sinensis, whereas no apparent resistance of An. anthropophgus has been found.

Abstract
Twenty cases with 51 tumor foci of urinary bladder were treated by Nd:YAG laser local irradiation plus whole-bladder photodynamic therapy (PDT) with hematoporphyrin derivative (HPD). All cases were confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. Of the 20 patients, 19 were cured after one treatment (95%) and the other patient cured after 2 treatments within 40 days. On follow-up for 3-23 months, tumor recurrence occurred in 2 cases (10%) about 3-6 months after treatment. The results suggest that the PDT effect in destroying bladder tumors might be enhanced by Nd:YAG laser while the lesions escaped Nd:YAG laser irradiation could be handled by whole-bladder PDT.

Abstract
The tumor associated antigen CA50 was examined in serum level of 84 patients with genitourinary malignancies, 48 patients with genitourinary benign diseases and 35 normal persons by immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). The mean CA50 value in the patients with genitourinary malignancy was much higher then that in patients with benign genitourinary diseases and that in the normal control group (P < 0.05-0.01). Taking 17 u/ml as the upper limit of normal range, the positive rates were 55% (11/20) of patients with renal cell carcinoma, 78% (7/8) in pyeloureteric carcinoma, 65% (30/46) in bladder cancer and 70% (7/10) in genital malignancies. The sensitivity of CA50 for the patients with genitourinary malignancy was 65.5% (55/84) and the specificity was 87.5% (42/48). The measurement of level of serum CA50 also could be used to monitor the clinical change and responses during the course of treatment. It might be helpful to predict the recurrence of tumor after surgical treatment.

Abstract
The maximum length sequence (MLS) technique is applied to improve data collection of a clinically important long latency visual potential. Given a limited time for measuring the response and with low number of stimulus presentation, the MLS technique exceeded the conventional method of ensemble averaging in attaining a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The theoretical consideration of such improvement is developed along with the system implementation. Typical examples of the results obtained in a human subject are presented.

Abstract
A biomembrane was developed from pig peritoneum treated with 0.65% glutaraldehyde. This was evaluated for use as a dural substitute in an animal model and in a patient population. After being treated with the glutaraldehyde solution, the biomembrane lost its antigenicity while its collagen underwent an irreversible cross-linking reaction, causing it to become a stable nonviable polymer resistant to absorption by the host. The biomembrane was used experimentally in 43 procedures on 20 dogs and was applied clinically in 614 patients. The results demonstrated that it is an acceptable material for the repair of dural defects, with the following advantages: 1) it is nontoxic to the body and brain tissues, with minimal tissue reaction; 2) its biophysical properties facilitate watertight closure with sutures; 3) its distensibility makes it suitable for decompressive surgical dural repair; and 4) its visceral surface is extremely smooth, causing virtually no adhesions with the brain tissue while the outer surface readily heals with the subcutaneous tissue.

Abstract
This paper deals with the synthesis of the 3'-half molecule of yeast alanine transfer RNA (tRNAAlay) by ligation with T4 RNA ligase of three component oligonucleotide fragments corresponding to nucleotides 36-45(I), 46-57(II) and 58-76(III) in succession extending from the 3'-end to the 5'-end. First, in a ratio of acceptor to donor at 1.5 to 1, we adopted a method of three successive reactions, namely, the 5'-phosphorylation of the nonadecamer (III), ligation with the dodecamer (II) and the 5'-phosphorylation of the ligation product formed; with one isolation step and obtained the 5'-phosphorylated 31mer(46-76) (IV) in an overall yield of 70%. Then the 31mer(IV) as a donor was ligated with 3 times of decamer (I) to form the 41mer(36-76) (V), the 3'-half molecule of tRNAAlay. The yield was 67%. After 5'-phosphorylation, (V) was ligated with the natural 5'-half molecule to form the semi-synthetic tRNAAlay, which was biologically active, i.e. accepting and transferring (3H)-alanine into proteins.
