However, the mechanism underlying such injury remains elusive.Methods: The 150 male C57 mice underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) for 1 h and reperfusion for 24 h,Among them, 50 MCAO mice were further treated with Mitochondrial division inhibitor 1(Mdivi-1) and 50 MCAO mice were further treated with N-acetylcysteine(NAC). SH-SY5Y cells were cultured in a low-glucose culture medium for 4 h under hypoxic conditions and then transferred to normal conditions for 12 h. Then, cerebral blood flow, mitochondrial structure, mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) copy number, intracellular and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(ROS),autophagic flux, aggresome and exosome expression profiles, cardiac tissue structure, mitochondrial length and cristae density, mtDNA and ROS content, as well as the expression of Drp1-Ser616/Drp1, RIP1/RIP3, LC3 II/I, TNF-α,IL-1β, etc., were detected under normal or Drp1 interference conditions.Results: The mtDNA content, ROS levels, and Drp1-Ser616/Drp1 were elevated by 2.2, 1.7 and 2.7 times after CIRI(P<0.05). However, the high cytoplasmic LC3 II/I ratio and increased aggregation of p62 could be reversed by 44%and 88% by Drp1 short hairpin RNA(shRNA)(P<0.05). The low fluorescence intensity of autophagic flux and the increased phosphorylation of RIP3 induced by CIRI could be attenuated by ROS scavenger, NAC(P<0.05). RIP1/RIP3inhibitor Necrostatin-1(Nec-1) restored 75% to a low LC3 II/I ratio and enhanced 2 times to a high RFP-LC3 after Drp1 activation(P<0.05). In addition, although CIRI-induced ROS production caused no considerable accumulation of autophagosomes(P>0.05), it increased the packaging and extracellular secretion of exosomes containing p62 by 4–5 times, which could be decreased by Mdivi-1, Drp1 shRNA, and Nec-1(P<0.05). Furthermore, TNF-α and IL-1βincreased in CIRI-derived exosomes could increase RIP3 phosp展开更多

The results show that the earthquakes are predominantly thrust events, with occasional strike-slip mechanisms. Most earthquakes occurred at depths of 10–20 km. We derived the regional distribution of the average stress field in this area using the damped linear inversion method and the focal mechanisms obtained in this study. The inversion results suggest that the Lushan region and the adjacent area are mostly under compression. The orientations of the maximum principal axes trend NW-SE, with some local differences in the stress distribution at different depths. Compared with the distribution of the stress field in the Wenchuan earthquake area, the stress field in the southwest section of the Longmenshan Fault zone(LFZ) share similar characteristics, predominantly thrust faulting with a few strike-slip events and the maximum compression axes being perpendicular to the LFZ.展开更多

Using a "whole genome shotgun" approach, we have pro-duced a draft rice genome sequence of Oryza sativa ssp. in-dica, the major crop rice subspecies in China and many other regions of Asia. The draft genome sequence is constructed from over 4.3 million successful sequencing traces with an accumulative total length of 2214.9 Mb. The initial assembly of the non-redundant sequences reached 409.76 Mb in length, based on 3.30 million successful sequencing traces with a total length of 1797.4 Mb from an indica variant cultivar 93-11, giving an estimated coverage of 95.29% of the rice genome with an average base accuracy of higher than 99%.
