Viral protein U （Vpu） is an accessory protein associated with two main functions important in human immu-nodeficiency virus type 1 （HIV-1） replication and dis-semination; these are down-regulation of CD4 receptor through mediating its proteasomal degradation and en-hancement of virion release by antagonizing tetherin/BST2. It is also well established that Vpu is one of the most highly variable proteins in the HIV-1 proteome. However it is still unclear what drives Vpu sequence variability, whether Vpu acquires polymorphisms as a means of immune escape, functional advantage, or otherwise. It is assumed that the host-pathogen inter-action is a cause of polymorphic phenotype of Vpu and that the resulting functional heterogeneity of Vpu may have critical significance in vivo . In order to compre-hensively understand Vpu variability, it is important to integrate at the population level the genetic association approaches to identify specifc amino acid residues and the immune escape kinetics which may impose Vpu functional constraints in vivo . This review will focus on HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu in the context of its sequence variability at population level and also bring forward evidence on the role of the host immune re-sponses in driving Vpu sequence variability; we will also highlight the recent findings that illustrate Vpu func-tional implication in HIV-1 pathogenesis.

The incorporation of the saturation of the tangential contact stress with the increase of the normal contact stress is required for the analysis of the friction phenomenon of solids and structures subjected to a high normal contact stress,which cannot be described by the Coulomb friction condition,in which the tangential contact stress increases linearly with the increase of the normal contact *** this article,the subloading-friction model,which is capable of describing the smooth elastic-plastic transition,the static-kinetic transition,and the recovery of the static friction during the cease of sliding,is extended to describe this ***,some numerical examples are shown,and the validity of the present model will be verified by the simulation of the test data on the linear sliding of metals.

In this paper, a method to posture maintenance control of 2-link object by nonprehensile two-cooperative-arm robot without compensating friction is proposed. In details, a mathematical model of the 2-link object is firstly built. Based on the model, stable regions for holding motion of nonprehensile two-cooperative-arm robot are obtained while the 2-link object is kept stable on the robot arms with static friction. Among the obtained stable regions, the robust pairs of orientation angles of the 2-link object are found. Under the robust orientation angles, a feedback control system is designed to control the arms to maintain the 2-link object's posture while it is being held or lifted up. Finally, experimental results are shown to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

It is remarkable that microarray technologies have nearly reached a pinnacle. Establishment of further analysis and management of enormous data derived from microarray technology is currently the highest priority. The heterogeneous functions of cholangiocytes regulate the pathophysiology of the biliary epithelium in relation to secretory, proliferative and apoptotic activities. Distinct expression profiles of two murine cholangiocyte lines, termed small and large have been revealed by microarray analysis. The features of the two cholangiocyte cell lines, categorized partly according to gene ontology, indicate the specific physiological role of each cell line. The large cholangiocytes are characterized as “transport” and “immune/ inflammatory responses” In contrast, small cholangiocytes are associated with properties of limited physiological functional ability and proliferating/migrating potential with specific molecules like Eph receptors, comparable to mesenchymal cells. ＇Omic study will be of great help in understanding the heterogeniety of cholangiocytes.

AIM:To evaluate the protective properties of novel prostone ClC-2 agonist SPI-8811 in porcine model of gastric acid injury. METHODS:Porcine gastric mucosa was mounted in Ussing chambers and injured by bathing mucosal tissues in an HCl Ringer's solution (pH = 1.5) with or without SP1-8811 (1 μmol/L), cystic fibrosis transmem-brane conductance regulator (CFTR) inhibitor (inhibitor 172, 10 μmol/L, apical) and ClC-2 inhibitor ZnCl 2 , 300 μmol/L, apical), on the apical surface of tissues. Transepithelial resistance and mucosal-to-serosal 3 H-mannitol fluxes were measured over a 90-min period. Tissues were analyzed by morph metric techniques, Immunofluorescence and by western blots. RESULTS:Compared with control tissues, acid exposure decreased transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) and increased 3 H-mannitol flux. Pretreatment of gastric mucosa with SPI-8811 was protective against acid-induced decreases in TER (TER, 50 Ω . cm 2 vs 100 Ω . cm 2 ) and abolished increases in flux ( 3 H-mannitol flux, 0.10 μmol/L . cm 2 vs 0.04 μmol/L . cm 2 ). Evidence of histological damage in the presence of acid was markedly at- tenuated by SPI-0811. Immunofluorescence and western analysis for occludin revealed enhanced localization to the region of the tight junction (TJ) after treatment with SPI-8811. Pretreatment with the ClC-2 inhibitor ZnCl 2 , but not the selective CFTR inhibitor 172, attenuated SPI-8811-mediated mucosal protection, suggesting a role for ClC-2. Prostone may serve both protective and reparative roles in injured tissues. CONCLUSION: ClC-2 agonist SPI-8811 stimulated enhancement of mucosal barrier function by protecting TJ protein occludin in porcine gastric mucosa and thus protected the gastric acid injury in porcine stomach.
