Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect of polysaccharide from Phellinus Linteus on immune surveillance of glioma cells and its regulatory mechanism on the major histocompatibility complexⅠchain related gene B(MICB)/natural killer cell activated receptor 2D(NKG2D) signaling pathway. Methods: Total 60 C57BL/6 mice aged 6~8 weeks and GL261 cell line were se-lected. Fifty of them were randomly selected to establish brain glioma models, and the remaining 10 mice were recorded as control group. In addition, the model mice were randomly divided into groups. The elemene group was given 100 mg/kg elemene and 1 ml/100 g normal saline by gavage, and the different doses of polysaccharide from Phellinus Linteus groups were given 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg of polysaccharide from Phellinus Linteus dissolved in 1 ml/100 g normal saline by gavage, while the control group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline, all once a day for 4 weeks. After intervention, the mice were killed, and the tumor weight and tumor inhibition rates were compared among groups. Hematoxylin eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes. NK cell infiltration was detected by CD57 antibody. Real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-q PCR) was used to detect the mRNA expression of major histocompatibility complexⅠchain related genes A(MICA), MICB, UL16 binding protein 1(ULBP1), UL16 binding protein 2(ULBP2), UL16 binding protein 3(ULBP3). The expressions of MICA, MICB, ULBP1, ULBP2 and ULBP3 were detected by Western blot. NK cells were separated by magnetic bead affinity cell sorting, and the activities of NKG2D on the surface of NK cells were detected by flow cytometry in the tissues of mice. Results:Compared with model group, the tumor weight of elemene group and the different doses of polysaccharide from Phellinus Linteus groups were decreased, the tumor inhi-bition rates were increased, the degeneration and necrosis of tumor cells were increased, the infiltration of NK cells was increased, the mRNA and protein expressions of MICA, ULBP2 and ULBP3 were decreased, the mRNA and protein expressions of MICB and ULBP1 were increased, and the NKG2D activities on the surface of NK cells were increased in elemene group and the three doses of polysaccharide from Phellinus Linteus groups, with statistically significant differences(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in all of the indexes between low-dose polysaccharide from Phellinus Linteus group and elemene group(P>0.05). Conclusion:Polysaccha-ride from Phellinus Linteus can inhibit the growth of glioma, promote the degeneration and necrosis of tumor cells, increase NK cell in-filtration, and it is suggested that it is related to regulating the signaling pathway of MICB/NKG2D, increasing the expression of MICB, ULBP1 and NKG2D activity on NK cells, decreasing the expressions of MICA, ULBP2 and ULBP3, and enhance immunosurveillance of glioma cells.
Background: Civilian gunshot wounds to the head refer to brain injury caused by projectiles such as gun projectiles and various fragments generated by explosives in a power launch or explosion. Gunshot wounds to the head are the deadliest of all gun injuries. According to literature statistics, the survival rate of patients with gunshot wounds to the head is only 9%. Due to the strict management of various types of firearms, they rarely occur, so the injury mechanism, injury and trauma analysis, clinical management, and surgical standards are almost entirely based on military experience, and there are few related reports, especially of the head, in which an individual suffered a fatal blow more than once in a short time. We report a case with a return to almost complete recovery despite the patient suffering two gunshot injuries to the head in a short period of time. Case Presentations: We present a case of a 53-year old man who suffered two gunshot injuries to the head under unknown circumstances. On initial presentation, the patient had a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 6, was unable to communicate, and had loss of consciousness. The first bullet penetrated the right frontal area and finally reached the right occipital lobe. When the patient reflexively shielded his head with his hand, the second bullet passed through the patient's right palm bone, entered the right frontotemporal area, and came to rest deep in the lateral sulcus. The patient had a cerebral hernia when he was admitted to the hospital and immediately entered the operating room for rescue after a computed tomography scan. After two foreign body removals and skull repair, the patient recovered completely. Conclusions: Gunshot wounds to the head have a high mortality rate and usually require aggressive management. Evaluation of most gunshot injuries requires extremely fast imaging examination upon arrival at the hospital, followed by proactive treatment against infection, seizure, and increased intracranial pressure. Surgical intervention is usually necessary, and its key points include the timing, method, and scope of the operation.

Objective: To investigate and analyze the effects of LncRNA CASC2 targeting NF-kB p65 on the proliferation, apoptosis and invasion of glioma cells. Methods: We detected the expression of CASC2 in gliomas and healthy brain tissue. The U87 cells were cultivated and transfected with CASC2 mimics and CASC2-NC mimics, while the control group was not transfected. The mRNA expression levels of CASC2, NF-kB P65, as well as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion in each group were detected, and the targeting relationship between CASC2 and NF-kB P65 was verified by dual luciferase assay. Results: The relative expression degree of CASC2 in malignant glioma tissue was significantly lower than that in normal brain tissue (P<0.05). The relative expression of CASC2 in the group of CASC2 mimics was apparently increased (P<0.05), while the relative mRNA expression of NF-kB p65 was significantly decreased (P<0.05). According to CCK-8 experimental data, the absorbance value of the CASC2 mimics group at 450 nm wavelength at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h respectively, were significantly lower than that in the CASC2-NC mimics group and the control group (P<0.05). The test results of flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate in the CASC2 mimics group was significantly increased compared to the CASC2-NC mimics group and the control group (P<0.05). In addition, the Transwell detection experiment showed that the amount of cell invasion and migration in the CASC2 mimics group decreased significantly compared to that in the CASC2-NC mimics group and the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: CASC2 expression was abnormally decreased in glioma tissues, which can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of glioma cell line U87 by targeting the expression of NF-kB p65.
颅脑创伤是临床常见的多发病,高原地区具有高海拔、低氧、低气压、低温等特点,为了适应高原环境的低氧特点,长时间在高原地区生活,大脑在发育过程中需要在功能与结构上都进行改变,因此颅脑损伤后患者的病理生理也较之前发生改变.高原颅脑损伤模型的建立作为颅脑损伤研究的基础,是研究颅脑损伤的关键.文章旨在对高原环境下颅脑损伤模拟方法和各种颅脑损伤模型的建立方法及特点进行综述,以期为临床提供参考价值.
tumor stem cells (BTSCs), and BTSCs have been successfully isolated in many types of brain tumors and brain tumor cell lines (10,11,16,20,24). However, whether BTSCs are present in meningiomas is unclear. In this study, we investigated the expression of BTSC markers in meningiomas. █ MATERIAL and METHODS
AIM: To investigate the expression of cancer stem cell markers in meningiomas. MATERIAL and METHODS: CD133, Nestin and Sox2 expression levels in 35 paraffin-embedded meningioma tissue samples were assessed using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: In this study, five cases were atypical (WHO Grade II), two were anaplastic (WHO Grade III), and 28 were benign (WHO Grade I). Among atypical and anaplastic meningiomas, all were positive for Nestin and CD133, and 4 were positive for Sox2. Of the 28 benign meningiomas, 23 were positive for Nestin, 11 were positive for CD133, and none were positive for Sox2. In addition, Nestin and CD133 were expressed at significantly higher levels in the non-benign group than in the benign group. CONCLUSION: Nestin, CD133 and Sox2 expression levels may be correlated with the WHO pathological grade. Specifically, more aggressive meningiomas are characterized by higher positivity rates and higher levels of Nestin, CD133 and Sox2 expression in positive cells.
脑肿瘤干细胞是脑肿瘤内存在的类似干细胞的细胞亚群,具有自我更新能力并能产生异质性肿瘤细胞.与非肿瘤干细胞来源的肿瘤细胞相比,脑肿瘤干细胞表面表达了与神经干细胞表面相同的分子标记物(如CD133、Nestin) ,导致细胞的免疫原性降低,并抑制T细胞等免疫细胞的功能,使机体的免疫系统无法正常发挥作用[1]. 另一方面,胶质瘤干细胞高表达多种耐药因子及DNA损伤修复因子、侵袭因子,促进肿瘤浸润生长并可以有效耐受放射治疗及化疗药物的治疗[2]. 肿瘤血管有支持脑肿瘤生长的功能,而这些肿瘤干细胞则可以直接分化为血管内皮细胞或通过调节血管内皮细胞生长因子的方式来帮助肿瘤血管的生成. 因此本文的研究对象将着重于肿瘤血管与脑肿瘤干细胞之间的关系.
重型颅脑损伤有很高的致死率和致残率,高原地区低压、低氧的生活环境,导致颅脑损伤后,病情的发展具有其特殊性和严重性,而丙二醛是脂质氧化的一种终产物,可间接反映体内氧化应激的发生和发展.血清丙二醛水平与高原地区重度颅脑损伤患者近期预后有没有相关性、有怎样的相关性.能否通过改变血清丙二醛的水平,对高原地区重度颅脑损伤患者进行高危分层以及改善近期预后,已经逐渐被研究人员重视.
丘脑是脑出血常见的出血部位之一,丘脑和下丘脑关系密切,下丘脑是神经内分泌的中心,丘脑出血后,下丘脑受刺激或者破坏,通过下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺皮质轴(hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis,HPA轴)的调节,导致内分泌异常,特别是肾上腺皮质激素.肾上腺皮质激素对糖代谢、水盐代谢、应激反应等都有密切的关系,肾上腺皮质激素,无论是增高还是减低,都会对机体造成严重的影响,通过对丘脑出血肾上腺皮质激素变化的研究,分析机体的变化等,以指导临床.本次研究从丘脑出血后激素水平的变化,导致血糖水平、血钠水平、上消化道溃疡等方面变化进行总结.
Calcified chronic subdural hematoma (CCSDH) is a rare disease that accounts for approximately 0.3%–2.7% of all chronic subdural hematomas (CSDHs). The clinical features of CCSDH are very similar to those of noncalcified CSDH and include headache, decreased alertness, weakness, numbness, gait disturbance, seizures, memory impairment, confusion, and unconsciousness. All symptomatic CCSDH should be treated surgically. Majority of these patients recover well following surgery. In this report, we present the case of a patient with CCSDH who developed severe cerebral edema following its removal, necessitating decompressive craniectomy. Although there were no abnormal findings in laboratory blood tests, and no signs of brain herniation or epilepsy was found the following day after surgery, the patient's family refused all treatment and a postoperative brain computed tomography (CT) scan. The patient was discharged and died at home. Cerebral hematoma and normal perfusion pressure breakthrough (NPPB) may cause severe cerebral edema following the total removal of a CCSDH.
