OBJETIVE:To explore the clinical and genetic characteristics of two children with Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) due to variants of TANC2 gene. METHODS:Clinical data of two children who were admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University respectively in April 2020 and April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Peripheral blood samples of the children and their parents were collected and subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing. By using "TANC2 gene", "Neurodevelopmental disorders", "Nervous system development disorders", "TANC2" as the key words, similar cases were searched from the CNKI, Wanfang database platform and PubMed database, with the search time set as from the establishment of the database to December 2023. This study was approved by the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (Ethics No. 2020-57). RESULTS:Case 1 was a 1-year-and-3-month-old girl who had developed convulsions at 1 year old and had three episodes of seizures. Her epilepsy had resolved with the treatment of oxcarbazepine, which was stopped at the age of 2-year-and-7-month. Her language, movement and intelligence development were all normal. Case 2 was a 1-year-and-10-month-old boy, who had developed convulsions at 1 year old. His seizure type was myoclonus, and the frequency was dozens of times a day. His epilepsy had resolved with the treatment of sodium valproate. His language, movement and intelligence development was delayed for about half a year. Genetic analysis showed that both children had harbored novel variants of the TANC2 gene (NM_025185.4), including c.3398G>A (p.Gly1133Glu) and c.2829+1G>A, respectively. Based on the guidelines from the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the former was rated as likely pathogenic (PS2+PM2_Supporting+PP3) and the latter was rated as pathogenic (PVS1+PS2+PM2_Supporting). Two previous reports were retrieved, which had involved 17 cases and 16 variants. Common features had included autism spectrum disorder (70.6%, 12/17) , intellectual disability (94.1%,16/17) , language and motor retardation (88.2%, 15/17;58.8%, 10/17), facial dysmorphism, epilepsy, ataxia, and thoracic and spinal deformities. CONCLUSION:Variants of the TANC2 gene probably underlay the epilepsy and development delay in these children with NDDs.

Background Global developmental delay (GDD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder in childhood whose clinical manifestations are diverse. Currently, there are few large sample analyses of the gender differences of clinical manifestations in GDD children in China. Objective To investigate the gender differences of clinical data in GDD children. Methods Seven hundred and ninety-nine GDD children who received initial inpatient treatment from Department of Child Rehabilitation, Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to February 2022 were recruited. Clinical data including maternal data in pregnancy and the perinatal period, and general data, measurement results of EEG, brain MRI, the Chinese version of Gesell Developmental Scales-Revised of the children and comorbidity rate were retrospectively collected. Gender differences of clinical data of GDD children were analyzed. Results The ratio of male children (n=568) to female children (n=231) was 2.46∶1. The age of first visit in male children〔19.0 (8.8, 33.0) 〕 was older than that of female children〔12.7 (6.8, 27.0) 〕 (P<0.05). The chief complaint was motor retardation (51.1%, 118/231) in female children, and language retardation (41.4%, 235/568) in male children. There were significant differences in chief complaint, birth season, gestational age at birth, gestational age at birth in relation to birth weight, birth weight classification and fine motor classification between male and female children (P<0.05). Male children had lower rates of fetal intrauterine distress, EEG abnormalities and microcephaly and higher rate of autism spectrum disorder than female children (P<0.05) . Conclusion There are gender differences in some clinical data of children with GDD. Male children have higher prevalence of GDD, and females have more clinical symptoms.

Objective:To observe the effect of mirror visual feedback training on upper limb function and muscle tension in children with spastic hemiplegia resulting from cerebral palsy (SHCP).Methods:Seventy-six children aged 2-5 with SHCP were randomly divided into a control group of 33 and a treatment group 34. All were given routine occupational therapy, physical therapy, massage and physical agents. Each therapy session lasted 30 minutes daily, 5 times a week over 3 weeks as a course of treatment. There was a one week interval after each of 6 courses, so the total treatment lasted 6 months. The treatment group was additionally trained with mirror visual feedback with the same schedule. Before, as well as after 3 and 6 months of treatment, each patient′s upper limb motor function, fine motor function and muscle tone were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer motor function assessment scale (FMA), the Peabody fine motor development scales (PDMS-FM), the modified Ashworth scale (MAS) and integrated electromyograms (iEMGs).Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups before treatment. After both 3 and 6 months significant improvement was observed in both groups′ average FMA score, PDMS-FM total score, grip, and visual motor integration. At both points the treatment group′s averages were significantly better than those of the control group. The average MAS and iEMG results, however, were not significantly different at either time point.Conclusions:For children with spastic hemiplegia caused by cerebral palsy, mirror visual feedback training can effectively improve upper limb functioning, but it cannot reduce their muscle tone.

Background: Dairy safety has caused widespread concern in society. Unsafe dairy products have threatened people's health and lives. In order to improve the safety of dairy products and effectively prevent the occurrence of dairy insecurity, countries have established different prevention and control measures and safety warnings. Objective: The purpose of this study is to establish a dairy safety prediction model based on machine learning to determine whether the dairy products are qualified. Methods: The 34 common items in the dairy sampling inspection were used as features in this study. Feature selection was performed on the data to obtain a better subset of features, and different algorithms were applied to construct the classification model. Results: The results show that the prediction model constructed by using a subset of features including "total plate", "water" and "nitrate" is superior. The SN, SP and ACC of the model were 62.50%, 91.67% and 72.22%, respectively. It was found that the accuracy of the model established by the integrated algorithm is higher than that by the non-integrated algorithm. Conclusion: This study provides a new method for assessing dairy safety. It helps to improve the quality of dairy products, ensure the safety of dairy products, and reduce the risk of dairy safety.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that 4 widespread in the elderly. The etiology of AD is complicated, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. Although there are many researches on anti-AD drugs, they are limited to reverse relief symptoms and cannot treat diseases. Therefore, the development of high-efficiency anti-AD drugs with no side effects has become an urgent need. Based on the published literature, this paper summarizes the main targets of AD and their drugs, and focuses on the research and development progress of these drugs in recent years.
BACKGROUND:Nilatinib is an irreversible tyrosine kinase inhibitor, which is used in the treatment of some kinds of cancer. To study the interaction between Neratinib and MAD2L1, a potential tumor target, is of guiding significance for enriching the medicinal value of Neratinib.METHOD:The binding mechanism between Mitotic arrest deficient 2-like protein 1 (MAD2L1) and Neratinib under simulative physiological conditions was investigated by molecule simulation and multi-spectroscopy approaches.RESULTS:Molecular docking showed the most possible binding mode of Neratinib-MAD2L1 and the potential binding sites and interaction forces of the interaction between MAD2L1 and Neratinib. Fluorescence spectroscopy experiments manifested that Neratinib could interact with MAD2L1 and form a complex by hydrogen bond and van der Waals interaction. These results were consistent with the conclusions obtained from molecular docking. In addition, according to Synchronous fluorescence and three-dimensional fluorescence results, Neratinib might lead to the conformational change of MAD2L1, which may affect the biological functions of MAD2L1.CONCLUSION:This study indicated that Neratinib could interact with MAD2L1 and lead to the conformational change of MAD2L1. These works provide helpful insights for the further study of biological function of MAD2L1 and novel pharmacological utility of Neratinib.
In recent years, the successful implementation of human genome project has made people realize that genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors should be combined together to study cancer due to the complexity and various forms of the disease. The increasing availability and growth rate of 'big data' derived from various omics, opens a new window for study and therapy of cancer. In this paper, we will introduce the application of machine learning methods in handling cancer big data including the use of artificial neural networks, support vector machines, ensemble learning and naive Bayes classifiers.
The hippocampus is critical for memory and emotion and both N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl- 4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors are known to contribute for those processes. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. We have previously found that mice undergo memory decline upon dcf1 deletion through ES gene knockout. In the present study, a nervous system-specific dcf1 knockout (NKO) mouse was constructed, which was found to present severely damaged neuronal morphology. The damaged neurons caused structural abnormalities in dendritic spines and decreased synaptic density. Decreases in hippocampal NMDA and AMPA receptors of NKO mice lead to abnormal long term potentiation (LTP) at DG, with significantly decreased performance in the water maze, elevated- plus maze, open field and light and dark test. Investigation into the underlying molecular mechanisms revealed that dendritic cell factor 1 (Dcf1) contributes for memory and emotion by regulating NMDA and AMPA receptors. Our results broaden the understanding of synaptic plasticity's role in cognitive function, thereby expanding its known list of functions.
