The invention provides an application of lurasidone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in preparation of a medicine for preventing and / or treating diabetes individual bone injury healing disorder. The hyperglycemia environment causes excessive secretion of lipocalin-2 (LCN2) by activating a phosphopentose pathway of neutrophil, thereby inhibiting osteogenic differentiation of skeletal stem cells. According to the application of the lurasidone or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in the preparation of the medicine for preventing and / or treating the diabetic individual bone injury healing disorder, in the application provided by the invention, the lurasidone can specifically inhibit the metabolic pathway and the secretion of LCN2, remodel an immune microenvironment beneficial to repair, and promote the healing of the diabetic individual bone injury. The formation of callus under the condition of diabetes mellitus is obviously accelerated and the mineral density of bone is improved.

The anti-HNL antibody of the application can be used for preparation of an HNL detection reagent and kit, and has higher sensitivity and specificity when used for detecting HNL protein in a sample, and can be applied to distinguishing bacterial infection and viral infection.

This invention relates to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically to a method for preparing neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipid transport protein and its antibody. Specifically, using pET23a(+) as the expression vector, the NGAL gene with six His tags fused to its N-terminus under promoter control is introduced into *E. coli* for induced expression. After purification using a Ni Focurose 6FF column and a molecular sieve column, tag-free NGAL protein with a purity ≥95% is obtained. Subsequently, the NGAL protein is used to repeatedly immunize Japanese rabbits, and serum is collected after each immunization. Qualified serum is screened using a two-dimensional agar diffusion assay, and then purified using the aforementioned antigen to prepare an antigen affinity purification column, yielding a highly active NGAL polyclonal antibody. The high-purity recombinant NGAL of this invention not only possesses activity but is also low-cost, not limited by raw materials, and can be mass-produced, possessing potential and wide-ranging application value in clinical and in vitro diagnostics.

The application belongs to the technical field of protein detection, and particularly relates to a protein marker detection platform based on a DNA nanoflower cascade CRISPR system and a construction method and application thereof. The protein marker detection platform based on the DNA nanoflower cascade CRISPR system comprises an upstream module of protein marker input signal amplification based on a DNA nanoflower and a downstream module of output signal amplification based on a CRISPR / Cas system. When the detection platform is used for protein marker detection, the upstream module based on the DNA nanoflower can convert the protein marker into hundreds or thousands of DNA signals, the DNA signals are recognized and activated by a Cas-crRNA compound to have Cas protein cis and trans cleavage activity, so that the output signal is amplified, high sensitivity and rapid detection of the protein marker are achieved, and in particular in detection of a neutrophil gelatinase lipocalin marker in a kidney injury disease, the detection limit is 500 fg / ml.
