| 1 | Generation of gene-target dogs using CRISPR/Cas9 system显示文摘Dear Editor,Dogs(Canis familiaris)serve as human companions and are raised to herd livestock,aid hunters,guard homes,perform police and rescue work,and guide the blind.Dogs exhibit close similarities to humans in terms of metabolic,physiological,and anatomical characteristics,and thus are ideal genetic and clinical models to study human diseases(Tsai et al.,2007).Gene target technology is a powerful tool to create new strains of animals with favorable traits.However,thus far,gene-target dogs have not been developed due to their unique species-specific reproductive characteristics,which limits the applications of dogs especially in the field of biomedical research.Recently,clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPRs)/CRISPR-associated(Cas)9 system was applied to edit specific genes with a high efficiency(Cong et al.,2013;Mali et al.,2013).Here we attempt to explore the feasibility of producing gene knockout(KO)dogs by using this technology.Beagle dog,the most widely used breed in biomedical research,was used as our animal model.Myostatin(MSTN)was chosen as the first gene of interest. | Qingjian Zou Xiaomin Wang Yunzhong Liu Zhen Ouyang Haibin Long Shu Wei Jige Xin Bentian Zhao Sisi Lai Jun Shen Qingchun Ni Huaqiang Yang Huilin Zhong Li Li Minhua Hu Quanjun Zhang Zhidong Zhou Jiaxin He Quanmei Yan Nana Fan Yu Zhao Zhaoming Liu Lin Guo Jiao Huang Guanguan Zhang Jun Ying Liangxue Lai Xiang Gao | 2015 | Journal of Molecular Cell Biology2015,7,6: | 1 |
| 2 | Targeted Micellar Phthalocyanine for Lymph Node Metastasis Homing and Photothermal Therapy in an Orthotopic Colorectal Tumor Model显示文摘Tumor lymph node(LN)metastasis seriously affects the treatment prognosis.Studies have shown that nanoparticles with size of sub-50 nm can directly penetrate into LN metastases after intravenous administration.Here,we speculate through introducing targeting capacity,the nanoparticle accumulation in LN metastases would be further enhanced for improved local treatment such as photothermal therapy.Trastuzumabtargeted micelles(<50 nm)were formulated using a unique surfactantstripping approach that yielded concentrated phthalocyanines with strong near-infrared absorption.Targeted micellar phthalocyanine(T-MP)was an effective photothermal transducer and ablated HT-29 cells in vitro.A HER2-expressing colorectal cancer cell line(HT-29)was used to establish an orthotopic mouse model that developed metastatic disease in mesenteric sentinel LN.T-MP accumulated more in the LN metastases compared to the micelles conjugated with control IgG.Following surgical resection of the primary tumor,minimally invasive photothermal treatment of the metastatic LN with T-MP,but not the control micelles,extended mouse survival.Our findings demonstrate for the first time that targeted small-sized nanoparticles have potential to enable superior paradigms for dealing with LN metastases. | Hai‑Yi Feng Yihang Yuan Yunpeng Zhang Hai‑Jun Liu Xiao Dong Si‑Cong Yang Xue‑Liang Liu Xing Lai Mao‑Hua Zhu Jue Wang Qin Lu Quanjun Lin Hong‑Zhuan Chen Jonathan F.Lovell Peng Sun Chao Fang | 2021 | Nano-Micro Letters2021,13,11: | 1 |
| 3 | Long-term outcomes and prognosis factors of vagus nerve stimulation in patients with refractory epilepsy显示文摘Background:Vagus nerve stimulation(VNS)is an effective treatment for patients with refractory epilepsy,yet with varied predictive factors and heterogeneous long-term outcomes.Adjustment of VNS parameters is critical for obtaining favorable efficacy.In this study,we aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes and the possible predictive factors of VNS in patients with refractory epilepsy.Methods:Eighty-six patients(59 males and 27 females)who underwent VNS implantation for treatment of refractory epilepsy between May 2016 and May 2017 at five Epilepsy Centers were enrolled.The clinical data,including sex,age at epilepsy onset,VNS implantation,epilepsy duration,seizure type,MRI findings,history of neurosurgical operations,and responder rate(responders were those with≥50%seizure reduction),were analyzed.Results:Four-year follow-up data were available for 76 patients(53 males and 23 females).The mean current intensity at the last follow-up was 1.8±0.3 mA(range:0.75–2.5 mA).The mean seizure reduction was 36.2%at 6 months,38.5%at 1 year,69.4%at 3 years,and 56.7%at 4 years.A favorable outcome of≥50%reduction in seizure frequency occurred in 40.0%of the patients at 6 months,55.9%at 1 year with 4 patients being seizure-free,63.2%at 3 years with 5 patients being seizure-free,and 68.4%at 4 years with 5 patients being seizure-free.Earlier onset age(P<0.001)and shorter duration(P=0.042)were associated with favorable prognosis.Compared with generalized tonicclonic seizures,tonic seizures had a favorable outcome(P=0.026).Twenty-three patients underwent neurosurgical operations before VNS implantation,and the responder rate was 60.9%at the last follow-up.Conclusions:VNS is an adjunctive and effective treatment for patients with refractory epilepsy who are not good candidates for surgical resection or have failed to respond to surgical treatment.The stimulation efficacy increases over time after implantation,and earlier exposure to VNS improves the prognosis. | Cuiping Xu Hua Lin Jiwen Xu Xiaohua Zhang Guiliang Hao Qiang Qiang Liu Chengyun Ding Shan Wang Quanjun Zhao Xiaojun Bai Kui Chen Duanyu Ni Yongjie Li Tao Yu Yuping Wang | 2022 | Acta Epileptologica2022,5,3: | 0 |
