In late December of 2019, a cluster of severe pneumonia cases caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) were reported from Wuhan, China. It is critical to understand the pathogenicity of this virus for the prevention and treatment of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). SARS-CoV-2 was isolated and classified as Betacoronavirus, belonging to the lineage B or subgenus Sarbecovirus, which also includes the human SARS coronavirus. The full virus genome of SARS-CoV-2 has about an 89% nucleotide identity with bat-SL-CoVZC45, the Spike protein has a 78% nucleotide identity with the human SARS coronavirus, and an 84% nucleotide identity with the bat-SL-CoVZC45 coronavirus. The SARS-infected rhesus monkey model was once established, and now the SARS-CoV-2-infected rhesus monkey model can dynamically understand the pathogenicity of COVID-19.

GUIDELINES AND CONSENSUS
作者：Judy A. MacArthur Clark, Deming Sun
These Chinese National Guidelines (GB/T 35892-20181) were issued February 06, 2018 and became effective September 01, 2018. The authors recognized the urgent need for an authentic English translation to inform the international community of the compliance requirements in China. It was appreciated that the final translation must reflect the specialist understanding of those working under the Guideline whilst remaining faithful to the meaning of the original Chinese text. A three-step translation process was therefore determined.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major medical concern, being the third most common cancer type and the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death, accounting for 9% of the total cancer incidence. In spite of the progress in clinical and biological knowledge, CRC remains a main public health issue, and despite the rapid development of treatments in the last years, the mortality rate related to this type of cancer remains high,especially in the advanced stages of disease. About half of the patients with CRC will develop liver metastases, and from that subpopulation only 25% are eligible for surgery with curative intent.

Current animal models of depression are mainly divided into three categories: stress models, surgical models, and chemical drug-induced models. The most commonly used animal model is the chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) model, which is the only model which manifests high surface, structural, and predictive validity. However, the CUMS model has been questioned for its poor repeatability, most likely due to variation in stimulus modes, intensity and frequency. Establishment of the CUMS model generally consists of two stages. The first stage is the exposure of the animals to noxious stimuli such as a tilted cage or food/water deprivation for long periods; and the second stage is the use of behavioral tests to screen the animals exhibiting depression-like behavior.

The GGGGCC (G4C2) repeat expansion in the human open reading frame 72 on chromosome 9, C9orf72, is the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Studies in transgenic mouse models have linked the pathogenic mechanism of G4C2 repeat expansion to RNA foci or the accumulation of unnatural dipeptide repeats in neurons. However, only one of the existing transgenic mouse lines developed typical ALS.

The introduction of animal models has been one of the major steps forward towards a better understanding of the neuropathological processes occurring in humans. Based on their similarity to the human genome and easy availability, mammalian murine models have been one of the most commonly used representations of neurodegenerative diseases such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). As such, the phenotypical expression and histological discoveries parallel many of the symptomatology and neuropathological findings observed in patients with ALS.During the last decades, the exponential growth of novel genetic tools has led to the detection of new mutations in the patient population, and thus to help in the development of new transgenic animal models for research and therapeutic discovery purposes.

REVIEW ARTICLE

The intestinal microbiome has emerged as an important component involved in various diseases. Therefore, the interest in understanding the factors shaping its composition is growing. The gut microbiome, often defined as a complex trait, contains diverse components and its properties are determined by a combination of external and internal effects. Although much effort has been invested so far, it is still difficult to evaluate the extent to which human genetics shape the composition of the gut microbiota. However, in mouse studies, where the environmental factors are better controlled, the effect of the genetic background was significant. The purpose of this paper is to provide a current assessment of the role of human host genetics in shaping the gut microbiome composition. Despite the inconsistency of the reported results, it can be estimated that the genetic factor affects a portion of the microbiome. However, this effect is currently lower than the initial estimates, and it is difficult to separate the genetic influence from the environmental effect. Additionally, despite the differences between the microbial composition of humans and mice, results from mouse models can strengthen our knowledge of host genetics underlying the human gut microbial variation.

Currently, Epalrestat is indicated for the management of diabetic neuropathy. It improves the antioxidative defense mechanism in the CNS. Through transcriptional regulation, Epalrestat increases intracellular GSH levels. Decreased GSH levels are common long-term complications in patients who have diabetes. It has been found that Epalrestat improves morphological abnormalities of nerves in the rodent model of diabetes. One study explored the effect of Epalrestat in a cell culture model of oxidative stress, but little is known about its effects on the in vivo system, in particular the phenotypic outcome of its use in neurodegenerative disorders like PD.28 Therefore, in our current study, we evaluated the role of Epalrestat in a mouse model of PD.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE
Curculigo recurvata (C. recurvata) W.T.Aiton (Family Hypoxidaceae) is a perennial herb found in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, and available in Cox's Bazar, Moulvibazar, and Sylhet in the marginal forest areas of Bangladesh. The genus, Curculigo, comprises 20 species. Some of these species are used by traditional practitioners and are believed to have significant medicinal values. The rhizomes of C. recurvata (RCR) are widely used in traditional medicine for several ailments such as snake bites, consumptive cough, impotence, asthma, jaundice, diarrhea, colic, gonorrhea, and arthropod stings, as well as for the treatment of menoxenia, bleeding disorders, nephritis, arthritis, and leucorrhea. The traditional uses of RCR have been validated by animal and clinical studies, including hypoglycemic, antibacterial, anthelmintic, antithrombotic, and cytotoxic studies. Mustakim et al, for example, confirmed that a crude methanol extract of C. recurvata rhizomes possesses potential antioxidative and cytotoxic properties. Two novel diastereoisomer glucosides, curculigine and isocurculigine, have been identified from this species, and glucosides of curculigo rhizome have been shown to significantly improve premenopausal syndrome, characterized by hysteria, depression, and melancholia. Accumulating evidence suggests that other species of the Curculigo genus possess various therapeutic effects. For instance, the C. orchioides has shown neuroprotective, anticancer, antiosteoporotic, immunostimulatory, and estrogenic activities.

Justicia adhatoda and Ocimum tenuiflorum, locally known as bashok and tulsi, are two ethnomedicinally important herbs that have been using as dietary supplements for several therapeutic applications. This study evaluated the combined effect of both the herbs as an antioxidative and antihyperlipidemic agent.
The results showed that the serum lipid profile was significantly decreased in the different treatment groups, with bashok having the greatest effect. Body weights, total serum protein, LDH, and relative liver and adipose tissue weights were markedly restored towards baseline values, the lowest atherogenic index being achieved with the combined extract. The combination treatment significantly enhanced total phenolic content and antioxidative capacity and greatly potentiated membrane stabilization, but inhibition of protein denaturation was not significantly affected.
