BACKGROUND: Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) plays an important role in bone development. However, there is no report regarding the effects of HB-EGF derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on skeletal development. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of HB-EGF overexpression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells on skeletal development and to preliminarily explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: The mouse model of HB-EGF overexpression in Prrx1+ bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (ROSA26tm1(HB-EGF); Prrx1-Cre) was constructed using Cre-LoxP system. Bone sections were processed and stained for histological analysis. Mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were cultured in vitro and their differentiation potential and relevant molecular mechanism were assessed. The experiment was approved by the Experimental Animal Management, Academics, Ethics and Use Committee of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2015. The approval number is A2015027. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Prrx1 was expressed in the articular cartilage, growth plate, trabecular bone and periosteum of adult mice. (2) The femurs of ROSA26tm1(HB-EGF); Prrx1-Cre mice were shortened, the bone mass decreased significantly, and the cartilage morphology and structure were abnormal, all of which indicated osteoarthritic phenotype. (3) Overexpression of HB-EGF inhibited the osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from ROSA26tm1(HB-EGF); Prrx1-Cre mice in vitro. These results suggest that overexpression of HB-EGF in Prrx1+ bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells may influence the skeletal development by inhibiting osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation.

Soil moisture has great significance in the researches of hydrology, meteorology and agriculture yield estimation. The quad-polarimetric SAR images can provide a lot of polarimetric features, the significance of the features in surface parameter retrieval have attracted attentions in previous researches with no final conclusions because of the complexity of terrain scattering. In this paper, random forest regression (RFR) is used for both soil moisture retrieval and the importance evaluation of polarimetric features of Radarsat-2 images in winter wheat fields. According to the score of importance, feature selection and combination are done for modelling. We evaluate the retrieval accuracy of models with different feature combinations. The results show that models of important features selected by RFR have RMSE(root mean square error) less than 6% which are better results compared to traditional models; when compared with support vector regression and artifical neural networks, the RFR also shows best retrieval accuracies, which proves that RFR is suitable for soil moisture retrieval and feature selection. The high retrieval accuracies of LBC-CPD(linear backscatter coefficients-Cloude-Pottier decomposition) and LBC-CPR(linear backscatter coefficients-circular polarimetric ratio) indicates these features can improve the retrieval accuracy of soil moisture.

BACKGROUND: Menopause can also lead to changes in lean tissue and fat composition. Osteoporosis is found to be more common in obese elderly than in non-obese people. Thereafter, leptin may be an important regulatory factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Bushen Jianpi Recipe on lipid metabolism and leptin in high fat diet rats with osteoporosis. METHODS: Totally 220 SPF Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6 months were randomly divided into model group (n=170) and sham group (n=50). The model group underwent bilateral ovarian ligation and the sham group received the same intervention as the model group except that ovarian ligation was not performed. At 12 weeks after surgery, the rat models were randomized into normal, high-fat, high-fat plus Jiangu Granule (2 g/(kg·d)), and high-fat plus simvastatin (100 μg/(kg·d)) groups (n=40 per group). The administration began at 13 weeks after surgery via gavage. The normal and sham groups were given 2 mL of normal saline, once daily. After 2, 6, 12 and 24 weeks of treatment, the body mass was measured. The serum, lumbar vertebrae and proximal femurs were removed. The bone mineral density of the right tibia was measured by double energy X-ray. The concentration of serum osteocalcin, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRACP-5b), total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, leptin and leptin receptor were detected by ELISA. The mRNA expression of leptin and leptin receptor in bones was determined by qPCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The rat body mass in the high-fat plus Jiangu Granule group was higher than that in the normal and high-fat groups at the same time, but lower than that in the sham and high-fat plus simvastatin groups. The expression levels of leptin and leptin receptor, and osteocalcin level in the high-fat plus Jiangu Granule group were significantly higher than those in the normal and high-fat groups, and the contents of TRACP-5b, cholesterol, and triacylglycerol were significantly lower than those in the Leptin and leptin receptor, the BGP concentration were higher than those in the normal diet model group and the high fat diet model group. The concentrations of TRACT-5b, cholesterol, and triglycerides were lower than those in the normal and high-fat groups (P < 0.05). These results indicate that Bushen Jianpi Recipe can regulate lipid metabolism disturbance, reduce blood viscosity and improve the structure of blood vessel wall. It can also increase the expression of leptin and leptin receptor in serum and bones of rats, improve bone metabolism, and prevent and treat primary osteoporosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper evaluated the risk of reservoirs collapse caused by nature-flood-based dam overtopping using a Bayesian network. Probabilities of single and cascade reservoirs collapse were calculated for reservoirs in Sichuan Province. The analysis demonstrates that Bayesian network is intuitive and user-friendly to investigate the risk of reservoirs collapse under multiple risk sources. A same conditional dam overtopping probability magnitude of 10-6 is derived, indicating a low risk of single reservoir dam overtopping. However, the conditional probability of dam overtopping is over 0. 8 when the water storage level is higher than normal, meaning there is a high probability of dam overtopping under this condition.

Objective: To introduce the treatment of a patient with rare Geotrichum capitatum pneumonia and pharmaceutical care experience. Methods and Results: Clinical pharmacists were directly involved in the treatment of an old patient with Geotrichum capitatum pneumonia. The treatment regimen by combined medication of fluconazole and flucytosine was developed through consultation of related literature, and the patient responded quite well to the treatment. However, 1 month of treatment was not sufficient to eradicate Geotrichum capitatum. After relapse, combined medication of fluconazole and flucytosine for another 2 months could completely cure the disease. The bacteria were retained and drug efficacy was verified through com - bined drug sensitivity test in vitro, 6 months later. Conclusion: Fluconazole combine with flucytosine is an effective, safe and economic treatment method for Geotrichum capitatum pneumonia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
