5-AZA-DC is an efficient methylation inhibitor that inhibits methylation of target DNA. In this study, we explored the effects of 5-AZA-DC on the regulation of TGF1 on target genes in neuroglial cell, as well as neuroglial cell functions under oxidative stress. The oxidative stress was constructed by editing CRISPR/Cas9 for knock out Ang-1 and ApoE4 genes.

Methods: Sixty C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into a normal control and an SDI model group and the SDI model was established using the epididymis-targeting polypeptide CSA combined with indocyanine green-loaded free nanoparticles (ICG-NPS), busufan and dimethyl sulfoxide (DSMO). After intervention with 5-AZA-DC, the epididymides were collected from the mice for measurement of the rates of sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF), sperm acrosome integrity (SAI) and spontaneous acrosome reaction (SAR), amplification of the ERp29 gene by FISH, determination of the mRNA and protein expressions of DNMT1, ERp29, PTEN and TSC2 by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot, and analysis of the ERp29, PTEN and TSC2 genes by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-seq).
We tried to implant the ultra-fast polymer optical fiber chemical oxygen sensor (POFCOS) into arterial blood vessel,connect with photoelectric conversion measurement system to record the continuous dynamic rapid changes of arterial PO(PaO) in whole living animals. It should be the experimental evidence for the new theory of holistic integrative physiology and medicine(HIPM) forexplain the mechanism of respiratory control and regulation in whole circusof respiration-circulation-metabolism. ①Fabrication of ultrafast POFCOS, calibration and its measuring system: The distal part of 2 m optical fiber was heated and pulled until it became a tapered tip.

On the basis of preliminarily verifying the use of ultra-fast reaction polymer matrix optical fiber oxygen sensor and its measuring system to record the continuous and dynamic changes of carotid artery oxygen partial pressure (PaO), in order to analyze and discuss the influence of lung ventilation on the continuous and dynamic changes of PaO, we designed a whole animal experimental study in vivo. Four hybrid goats were selected, and the skin was cut and exposed directly under general anesthesia and tracheal intubation. The oxygen sensor, connected with the measuring system, was inserted directly into the left carotid artery to continuously record the dynamic changes of PaO.

Methods: Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: Group A (IV collagenase + heparin autologous blood + non-heparin autologous blood), Group B (heparin autologous blood), Group C (IV collagenase), Group D (non-heparin autologous blood), Group E (control), Group F (sham); groups A, B, C, and D were modeled, group E received no treatment, and group F was injected with normal saline. The Longa/Bederson scales were used to test limb symmetry and score neurological deficits.

Objective To observe the intervention effect of Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) on the oo- cytes of infertile rats with positive anti-sperm antibody (AsAb). Methods AsAb positive immune infertil- ity model was established using active immunity. Totally 100 female SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group, the model group, low, middle, and high dose ZYP groups, 20 in each group.

Methods: Thirty-five New Zeland rabbits of 4 months old were selected to establish cervical dynamic imbalance rabbit model for inducing CIDR (No disposal was given to rabbits in the normal control group). Seven months after operation, combined therapy of KZC and PLC were given, in doses calculated by body weight, to the modeled rabbits in the drug treated group with CEC of either superficial layer or full layer, twice a dantly by gavage for 30 successive days.
