The Metronidazole (MTZ)/nitroreductase (NTR)-mediated cell ablation system is the most commonly used chemical-genetic cell ablation method in zebrafish.This system can specifically ablate target cells under spatial and temporal control.The MTZ/NTR system has become a widely used cell ablation system in biological,developmental,and functional studies.However,the inadequate cell-ablation ability of some cell types and the side effects of high concentration MTZ impede extensive applications of the MTZ/NTR system.In the present study,the US drug collection library was searched to extend the NTR system.Six MTZ analogs were found,and the cell-ablation ability of these analogs was tested in zebrafish larvae.The results revealed that two of the NTR substrates,Furazolidone and Ronidazole,ablated target cells more efficiently than MTZ at lower concentrations.Furthermore,the working concentration of Ronidazole,but not Furazolidone and MTZ,did not affect axonal bridge formation during spinal cord regeneration.Our results,taken together,indicate that Ronidazole is a superior prodrug to MTZ for the NTR system,especially for the study of neuron regeneration in zebrafish larvae.

蠕变持久寿命的评估一直受到理论与工程领域的研究和关注,基于确信可靠性理论这一可靠性领域的新理论所提出的可靠性的三个科学原理建立了蠕变寿命的确信可靠度模型,并使用不确定理论表征参数的不确定性.通过案例研究分析了模型参数的不确定性,并将所得结果与基于失效时间数据的概率分布建模进行了对比.分析认为,基于确信可靠性理论的蠕变寿命模型是一种适用于缺少蠕变试验数据情况下的寿命评估新方法,可以同时考虑多个不同参数不确定性,蠕变应力指数的不确定性对蠕变可靠度曲线的趋势有显著影响.
