ABSTRACT:Hypertension is a primary risk factor for the progression of cognitive impairment caused by cerebral small vessel disease, the most common cerebrovascular disease. However, the causal relationship between hypertension and cerebral small vessel disease remains unclear. Hypertension has substantial negative impacts on brain health and is recognized as a risk factor for cerebrovascular disease. Chronic hypertension and lifestyle factors are associated with risks for stroke and dementia, and cerebral small vessel disease can cause dementia and stroke. Hypertension is the main driver of cerebral small vessel disease, which changes the structure and function of cerebral vessels via various mechanisms and leads to lacunar infarction, leukoaraiosis, white matter lesions, and intracerebral hemorrhage, ultimately resulting in cognitive decline and demonstrating that the brain is the target organ of hypertension. This review updates our understanding of the pathogenesis of hypertension-induced cerebral small vessel disease and the resulting changes in brain structure and function and declines in cognitive ability. We also discuss drugs to treat cerebral small vessel disease and cognitive impairment.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of adalimumab (ADA) on refractory Behcet′s uveitis (BU).Methods:Ten patients (20 eyes) diagnosised with refractory BU at the Eye Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University from May 2020 to October 2021 and treated with ADA were collected. Among them, there were 8 males (16 eyes) and 2 females (4 eyes) with an average age of (37.0 ± 14.2) years (ranged from 22 to 62 years). The initial treatment was glucocorticoids combined with immunosuppressants. Methylprednisolone tablets as glucocorticoids, were used an initial dose of 1 mg·kg-1·d-1, then gradually reduced after the inflammation was controlled. If the inflammation recurred during the follow-up, the dose of glucocorticoid was restored to the dosage at the last reduction. Among immunosuppressants, one of cyclosporine (3 mg·kg-1·d-1), azathioprine (2 mg·kg-1·d-1) or mycophenolate (750 mg, twice a day) has to be chosen. Before ADA treatment, the general condition of patients were checked. If they were up to standards, then ADA treated by subcutaneous injection was used to therapy for recurrent patients or patients with poor response to traditional treatment. The initial dosage of ADA for treatment was 80 mg, followed by subcutaneous injection of 40 mg every two weeks. After the patient′s inflammation was reduced, oral glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants were gradually reduced. Patients were treated by local prednisolone acetate eye drops and retrohemispheric injection of 20 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate or 20 mg triamcinolone acetonide injection according to the inflammation of the anterior segment. Atropine sulfate eye drops or compound tropicamide eye drops were used for mydriasis. Before and after treatment, the best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior segment inflammation, vitreous inflammation and retinal inflammation of the affected eyes were examined; the macular morphology was evaluated by optical coherence tomography, and the occurrence of complications was recorded and described by frequency and percentage.Results:The course of ten patients (20 eyes) diagnosed as BU was 2 to 22 years with an average of (8.9 ± 6.6) years. After ADA treatment for 6 months, uveitis was reduced in all patients. The vitreous inflammation was transferred from 3+ ~ 4+ to 0 ~ 1+ . Following up for 6 months, they had no recurrence of uveitis. there were 4 cases (8 eyes) with visual acuity improvement ≥ 2 lines, accounting for 40% (8/20); 2 cases (4 eyes) with visual acuity improved ≥ 1 line, accounting for 20% (4/20); 2 cases (3 eyes) with no change in visual acuity, accounting for 15% (3/20); 3 cases (5 eyes) with visual acuity decreased ( 2 eyes with no light perception), accounting for 25% (5/20). The macular edema of 10 patients (20 eyes), was reduced or subsided after ADA treatment. There were 5 patients (8 eyes) with the thickness of macular neuroepithelial edema was reduced to less than 200 μm, accounting for 40% (8/20). There were 4 patients (6 eyes) with epiretinal membrane, accounting for 30% (6/20). After treating patients using ADA, the inflammation was reduced. Then there were 5 cases (10 eyes) with discontinued methylprednisolone tablets, accounting for 50% (5/10); 5 cases (10 eyes) with reduced to 16 mg methylprednisolone tablets. There were 1 case (2 eyes) with discontinued immunosuppressant, accounting for 10% (1/10); 9 cases (18 eyes) with reduced dosage of immunosuppressant, accounting for 90% (9/10). During ADA treatment, there were 3 cases (6 eyes) with skin injection site pain or rash, accounting for 30% (3/10). There were no found other systemic side effects.Conclusions:ADA is safe, effective and well tolerated in the treatment of refractory BU, which could reduce the demand dose for systemic glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants.

Esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) is the eighth most common cancer around the world. Several reports have focused on somatic mutations and common germline mutations in ESCC. However, the contributions of pathogenic germline alterations in cancer susceptibility genes (CSGs), highly frequently mutated CSGs, and pathogenically mutated CSG-related pathways in ESCC remain unclear. We obtained data on 571 ESCC cases from public databases and East Asian from the 1000 Genomes Project database and the China Metabolic Analytics Project database to characterize pathogenic mutations. We detected 157 mutations in 75 CSGs, accounting for 25.0% (143/571) of ESCC cases. Six genes had more than five mutations: TP53 (n = 15 mutations), GJB2 (n = 8), BRCA2 (n = 6), RECQL4 (n = 6), MUTYH (n = 6), and PMS2 (n = 5). Our results identified significant differences in pathogenic germline mutations of TP53, BRCA2, and RECQL4 between the ESCC and control cohorts. Moreover, we identified 84 double-hit events (16 germline/somatic double-hit events and 68 somatic/somatic double-hit events) occurring in 18 tumor suppressor genes from 83 patients. Patients who had ESCC with germline/somatic double-hit events were diagnosed at younger ages than patients with the somatic/somatic double-hit events, though the correlation was not significant. Fanconi anemia was the most enriched pathway of pathogenically mutated CSGs, and it appeared to be a primary pathway for ESCC predisposition. The results of this study identified the underlying roles that pathogenic germline mutations in CSGs play in ESCC pathogenesis, increased our awareness about the genetic basis of ESCC, and provided suggestions for using highly mutated CSGs and double-hit features in the early discovery, prevention, and genetic counseling of ESCC.
Alzheimer's disease (AD), also defined as a tauopathology, is a common neurodegenerative disease. Hyper-phosphorylation, cleavage or truncation, and aggregation of tau contribute to AD. Thus, targeting the post-translational modifications on tau may be a therapeutic strategy to treat AD. This study understood how cornel iridoid glycoside (CIG) affects tau post-translational modifications and synaptic abnormalities. The 10-month old P301S tau transgenic mice were given CIG at 100 and 200 mg/kg every day orally for 1 month. Hyperphosphorylated and truncated tau, synapse-associated proteins and glutamatergic receptors were all detected using Western blotting. The interactions between Morroniside (MOR) or Loganin (LOG) and tau were detected using Autodock and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). The effects of CIG on the aggregation of tau were investigated using a cell-free system. CIG attenuated tau hyperphosphorylation at Thr205, Ser212, Ser262, Thr231 and Ser235 (AT180), but had no effect on tau truncation in the brains of 10-month old P301S mice. Binding free energies and interactions revealed that MOR and LOG bound with tau. We also found that CIG upregulated synapse-associated proteins such as PSD-95, syntaxin1A and synaptotagmin. In addition, CIG restored N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor and glutamate receptor levels. CIG improves post-translational modification of tau as well as synaptic abnormalities. The data presented here reveal that CIG may be used in the treatment of AD.

To investigate the relationship between non-coding RNAs [especially circular RNAs (circRNAs)] and docetaxel resistance in breast cancer, and to find potential predictive biomarkers for taxane-containing therapies, we have performed transcriptome and microRNA (miRNA) sequencing for two established docetaxel-resistant breast cancer (DRBC) cell lines and their docetaxel-sensitive parental cell lines. Our analyses revealed differences between circRNA signatures in the docetaxel-resistant and -sensitive breast cancer cells, and discovered circRNAs generated by multidrug-resistance genes in taxane-resistant cancer cells. In DRBC cells, circABCB1 was identified and validated as a circRNA that is strongly up-regulated, whereas circEPHA3.1 and circEPHA3.2 are strongly down-regulated. Furthermore, we investigated the potential functions of these circRNAs by bioinformatics analysis, and miRNA analysis was performed to uncover potential interactions between circRNAs and miRNAs. Our data showed that circABCB1, circEPHA3.1 and circEPHA3.2 may sponge up eight significantly differentially expressed miRNAs that are associated with chemotherapy and contribute to docetaxel resistance via the PI3K-Akt and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways. We also integrated differential expression data of mRNA, long non-coding RNA, circRNA, and miRNA to gain a global profile of multi-level RNA changes in DRBC cells, and compared them with changes in DNA copy numbers in the same cell lines. We found that Chromosome 7 q21.12-q21.2 was a common region dominated by multi-level RNA overexpression and DNA amplification, indicating that overexpression of the RNA molecules transcribed from this region may result from DNA amplification during stepwise exposure to docetaxel. These findings may help to further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying docetaxel resistance in breast cancer.

Objective To observe the effects of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glycoside (TSG) on formation of senile plaques and beta amyloid (Aβ), as well as activation of microglia and astrocytes, in cortex and hippocampus of APP/PS1 double transgenic mice. Methods A total of 64 five-month-old APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into model group (n=16), low-dose TSG (0.05 g/kg) group (n=16), high-dose TSG (0.1 g/kg) group (n=16), and donepezil group (n=16); other 32 same age wild type (WT) mice were randomly divided into normal control group (n=16) and high-dose TSG (0.1 g/kg) WT group (n=16). The normal control group and model group were given distilled water, and the other groups were given the corresponding drugs intragastrically. The mice were tested with object recognition test, the deposi-tion of plaques in brain was detected with Congo red staining, and the expression of Aβ40/42, ionized calcium bind-ing adapter molecule 1 (Iba1) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) with immunohistochemistry after seven months of treatment (twelve-month-old). Results Compared with the model group, the discrimination index significantly increased (P<0.01), the deposition of plaques decreased in brain (P<0.05), and the expression of Aβ40/42, Iba1 and GFAP all significantly decreased in each treatment group (P<0.05). Conclusion TSG can improve learning and memory of APP/PS1 transgenic mice, reduce Aβ deposition and senile plaques, and reduce the inflammatory response, even in low-dose, which is similar to that of donepezil.
