Objective To discuss the relationship between GULP1 gene polymorphism of Chinese Han population and schizophrenia,cognitive function.Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) method was used to detect 86 patients with schizophrenia and 72 normal controls GULP1 gene SNPrs2004888 polymorphism;Wechsler Memory Scale(WMS) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test(WCST) assessment of two groups of memory and executive function,and assessed with the PANSS scale clinical symptoms.Results The differences of GULP1 gene SNP(rs2004888) polymorphism genotype and allele frequency was statistically significant (χ2 = 35.71、32.21,all P<0.05).Genotypes in patients with group comparison of cognitive function between groups showed the genotype groups Wechsler Memory Scale Logical Memory scores were significant(P<0.05),G/G and T/T genotype compared with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in the number of errors,error numbers and classification numbers significant(P<0.05).Conclusion GULP1 gene SNPrs2004888 polymorphism was associated with schizophrenia,and also related to cognitive function in schizophrenia.

Objective To study the adjuvant immunoactivity of polysaccharides from Panax japonicus by alcohol of different concentrations;To discuss its part with the strongest adjuvant immunoactivity. Methods Polysaccharides from Panax japonicus was sunk with alcohol of different concentrations, and 30%alcohol compound, 60%and 90%alcohol polysaccharide were obtained. Different segments of polysaccharide and OVA protein were injected to mice once a week for three times for immunity. Five days after the last immunity, the mice were executed to collect blood, and the antibody titer was determined. The three parts of alcohol compound were scanned by infrared spectrum to determine the type of polysaccharide preliminarily. Results Compared with the control group, the antibody titer of different segments of polysaccharide obviously increased, especially the polysaccharide sunk by 60%alcohol. Infrared spectrum analysis showed that polysaccharides from Panax japonicus contained pyranose ring structure. Conclusion Polysaccharides from Panax japonicus has significant adjuvant immunoactivity, and polysaccharide sunk by 60%alcohol has the strongest adjuvant effects.

The prevention and treatment of scars has always been an important task in the field of wound repair.Humans have started treatment for scars long time ago and have created a series of treatments.At the same time,with the development of science and technology,the diagnosis and treatment of scars have made great progress.Through the basic research for new therapeutic targets and innovative of treatment methods,treatment for scar turns more diversified and integrated.As a result,clinicians will suffer many challenges while having more options for scars treatment.Combined with traditional treatment,developing new treatments,and the comprehensive therapy of multiple treatment methods is the mainstream trend of scar treatment.

Objective To explore the differences in autophagic expression levels between hypertrophic scar (HS) tissue and normal skin tissue,and further investigate the relationship between hypertrophic scar formation and autophagy protein expression through the rabbit ear hypertrophic scar model.Methods 30 patients with hypertrophic scar were collected.One hypertrophic scar tissue and one normal skin tissue were harvested.The relative expressions of LC3,P62 and Beclin-1 in each tissue specimen were detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot.Western blot was used to detect the autophagic-associated protein LC3 (MAPLC3),P62 and Beclin-1 in the hypertrophic scar tissue of rabbit ear and the corresponding normal tissue of rabbit ears at 4 weeks,8 weeks,12 weeks,and 24 weeks,and further explore their clinical significance.Results In vivo,the expression of hypertrophic scar tissue protein LC3 and Beclin-1 was significantly stronger than that in normal skin tissue (P < 0.05).The expression of P62 was significantly weaker than that in normal skin tissue (P < 0.05).In animal experiments,during the process of HS formation,the protein expression of LC3 gradually increased,while the protein expression of P62 gradually decreased;the protein expression of Beclin-1 was higher than that of normal rabbit ears tissue,with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).Conclusions The expression of LC3 and Beclin-1 in human hypertrophic scar tissues is higher than that in normal tissues.While the expression of P62 is lower than that in normal tissues.That is,the expression of autophagy in human hypertrophic scar tissue showed an upward trend in a certain period of time,and was significantly higher than that in normal tissue.
