Objective·To explore the effects of adenovirus vector-mediated small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting phosphatase nuclear targeting subunit (PNUTS) on proliferation,invasion,migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas Hep-2 cells and its mechanism.Methods· Recombinant adenovirus vector expressing PNUTS siRNA was infected into laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas Hep-2 cells and the experiment was designed into PBS group,Ad-GFP group and Ad-siPNUTS group.Levels ofPNUTS mRNA and protein were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting respectively.MTT assay was used to detect proliferation abilities of Hep-2 cells.Transwell assays were used to detect invasion and migration abilities of Hep-2 cells.The expression levels of total Rb,phosphorylated Rb (p-Rb),PI3K,phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT),E2FI,E-cadherin,N-cadherin and ZEB1 protein were detected by Western blotting.Results· Compared with Ad-GFP group,in Ad-siPNUTS group,the PNUTS mRNA and protein (both P=0.000) levels were dramatically decreased.The proliferation of Ad-siPNUTS infected Hep-2 cells were inhibited on the second day (P=0.004),the third day (P=0.001) and the fourth day (P=0.000).Meanwhile,the invasion and migration abilities of Ad-siPNUTS infected Hep-2 cells were decreased (both P=0.000).The expression levels of total Rb (P=0.000),p-Rb (P=0.000),PI3K (P=0.023),p-AKT (P=0.000),E2F 1 (P=0.000),N-cadherin (P=0.005) and ZEB 1 (P=0.000) were decreased while the E-cadherin (P=0.003) was increased.Conclusion· Ad-siPNUTS could inhibit the proliferation,invasion and migration abilities of Hep-2 cells and reverse the development of EMT,which may be related to PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and Rb signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the clinical features and NEMO gene mutation in a boy with ectodermal dysplasia and immunodeficiency (EDA-ID).Methods According to the patient's clinical presentation and family history,the integrity of the IL-12/IFN-γ axis was detected by Q-RT-PCR after ruling out the common primary immunodeficiency disease (PID),and then NEMO gene was sequenced.Results The patient showed recurrent fever,pale skin,sparse hair,mild frontal bossing,and fungus and BCG infections.The X-ray of the head revealed no obvious tooth germ.The expression of IL-12B mRNA in the whole blood cells was reduced more after stimulation with BCG plus IFN-γ than BCG alone (P < 0.05).NEMO gene sequencing analysis found 1241T > A substitution mutation in exon 10,predicting valine-to-aspartic acid missense mutation at the 414th amino acid site (p.V414D).The mother and one of her sisters had heterozygous mutations at the same site.Cornclusion Male children with BCG infections and recurrent fever should be considered to have mutation of NEMO gene,especially when there are some ectodermal dysplasia phenotypes such as pale and dry skin without sweat,sparse hair and no teeth.Matrilineal family history of incontinentia pigmenti is helpful to diagnosis.EDA-ID can be diagnosed early by combining the integrity test of IL-12/IFN-γ axis and genetic analysis.

Conclusions CNTF could improve cognitive ability of DM rats by increasing the mRNA and protein expressions of ChAT through the JAK 2/STAT3 pathway .
The rate of complete surgical resection is still low in hilar cholangiocarcinoma,which greatly affects the curative effect.Radiotherapy,one kind of treatment for tumors,has not been widely adopted in the past years.In recent years,with the development of radiotherapy technology,research of treating hilar cholangiocarcinoma through radiotherapy has become a spot.Many studies have shown that radiotherapy,as an adjuvant therapy for surgery and non-surgical treatment,can be the major means for treatment,and it could bring benefit for patients' survival extension and improvement of life quality.

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is a kind of protein polypeptide which widely exists in the body tissue and its structure and functions are similar to insulin.IGF-1 involves in many pathological and physiological process.Through a variety of ways,IGF-1 affects the occurrence and development of heart,brain,kidney,nerves and other chronic complications of diabetes.Exploring the mechanism of IGF-1 provides new ideas for the treatment of diabetic chronic complications.
Objective:To analyze expression of glutamic acid decarboxylase-65(GADs65) in brain and therapeutic effects of GAD65-engeneered neural stem cells after the cells being transplanated into hippocampus of kainic acid-induced epilepsy model rats.Methods: Kainic acid-induced epilepsy model rats were divided into 3 groups completely randomly: GAD-NSCs transplantation group(n = 20),NSCs transplantation group(n = 20),saline control group(n = 20).The sensitivity in epilepsy models was detected by small dosed pentetrazole-induced test corresponding to 1,2 and 3 days,1,2,4 and 8 weeks after transplantation respectively.GAD65 expression in hippocampus was examined by Western Blotting at 1 week post-transplantation.Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and BrdU,GAD65 immunohistochemistry were performed in rat hippocampal slices at 8 weeks post-transplantation.Results: The sensitivity of epilepsy in GAD-NSCs transplantation group was decreased at 2 days post-transplantation while that in NSCs transplantation group was decreased after 2weeks.The scores according to the scale of Racine in saline control group and NSCs transplantation group were higher than that in GAD-NSCs transplantation group.High-level GAD65 expression in hippocampus was demonstrated only in GAD-NSCs transplantation group.BrdU positive cells and GAD65 positive ceils of GAD-NSCs transplantation group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups.Conclusion: Transplantation of GAD65-engineered neural stem cells into hippocampus of epilepsy model rats,which induced High-level GAD65 expression in hippocampus,could cotinuously inhibit sensitivity of epilepsy,protect the host NSCs of post-transplanation and improve the neuropathologic changes of model animals.
氟西汀(Fluoxetine)是一种高特异性,高选择性的5-羟色胺(5-HT)再摄取抑制剂(Selective reuptake inhibitors,SSRIs),临床上主要用于治疗抑郁性精神障碍.传统抑郁症的"单胺学说"认为,抑郁的发生主要与单胺类神经递质如5-HT及去甲肾上腺素(NE)水平低下有关.近年提出的"神经营养学说"认为,抑郁的发生除与NE、5-HT等神经递质的变化有关外,可能与神经突触可塑性的损害有关.近年来国外有研究发现氟西汀能加快卒中患者的康复治疗过程.
Objective:Toexplore a safe and effective method for dissociatingneural stemcell neurospheres cultured in vitro.Methods:Neurospheres were dissociated by using of four methods,that digestion of trypsin,triturating only with pasteur pipette,grinding with stainless steel mesh and controlling volume of nerospheres with short-time digestion of trypsin.The four methods were evaluated by comparing their discrete capacity and cell survivals.Results:Trypsin digestion time prolonged led to dissociation of neurospheres,but neural stem cells(NSCs)were hardly survival.Neurospheres could not be dissociated completely by triturating only with pasteur pipette.Grinding with stainless steel mesh would damage neurospheres severely induced lowsurvival rates of NSC.In contrast,controlling volume of nerospheres with short-time digestion of trypsin could separate neurospheres better than the other methods and higher NSC survival rate(93.2%,P0.05).Conclusion:Controlling volume of nerospheres with short-time digestion of trypsin is a safe and effective method for dissociating neurospheres of NSCs cultured in vitro better than other three methods.
