Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases 2017;43(6):327-330
Objective To examine the clinical characteristics of familial aggregation in migraineurs and to ana-lyze the risk factors. Methods Seventy-two migraineurs were recruited and divided into two subgroups according to family migraine history. The subjects were interviewed in detail with questionnaire including age, disease duration, age at migraine onset,migraine severity, frequency of headache,duration of each attack, aura, unilateral pain, pulsate pain, family history of migraine, family members and other factors. Multi-factors logistic regression analysis was performed to analysis the risk factors after single variable analysis. Results Of 72 migraine patients, 37(51.4%) reported that at least one first-degree relative had a history of migraine. There were no significant differences between migraine sub-groups with and without family migraine history in age (P=0.598), gender(P=0.675), disease duration (P=0.419), aura (P=0.669), headache severity (P=0.837), frequency of attack (P=0.465), concomitant symptoms (P=0.081), headache location (P=0.353), headache property (P=0.963), there were significant differences between migraine subgroups with and without family migraine history in age at disease onset (P=0.023), duration of headache attack (P=0.041), early age (<16 years)at disease onset (48.6% vs. 22.9%, P=0.023) and long duration (≥24 hours)of attack (35.1% vs. 14.3%, P=0.041). Multi-variables logistic regression analysis identified fist-degree relatives of probands who had ear-ly age at disease onset (OR=2.986, 95%CI:1.621~5.503) and long duration of headache attack (OR=2.320, 95%CI:1.219~4.415) had higher risk of migraine (P<0.05). Conclusion Migraineurs with family migraine history have earlier onset of migraine and longer duration of attack. Early age at headache onset and long duration of headache attack are the risk factors of family aggregation.

Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2014;29(8):716-719
OBJECTIVE:
To heighten the awareness of the facial nerve tumors.
METHOD:
The clinical data of twenty-three patients complaining of facial paralysis who were diagnosed postoperatively as facial nerve tumors were analyzed. The hearing assessment of all patients was based on pure tone audiometry at the frequency of 0. 5, 1, 2, 4 kHz. Temporal bone high resolution CT scan and temporal bone MRI with gadolinium enhancement were conducted on all patients. Facial nerve function was assessed with the House-Brackmann (HB) grading system. Facial electroneurography (ENoG) was conducted on 20 patients to quantify the degree of nerve degeneration preoperatively. The pathological types of tumor were determined by postoperative pathological reports.
RESULT:
Nineteen out of 23 cases presented hearing loss (82.6%), 10 cases suffered from tinnitus (43.5%), otalgia (17.4%) affected 4 cases, 3 cases manifested otorrhea (13.0%), and 2 cases presented vertigo (8.7%). Geniculate ganglion was the most commonly involved site (20 cases, 87.0%), followed by tympanic segments (18 cases, 78.3%), pyramid segment (16 cases, 69.6%), mastoid segment (10 cases, 43.5%), labyrinthine segment (9 cases, 39.1%), internal auditory canal segment and parotid gland segment (5 cases, 21.7%, respectively). Twenty-one cases (91.3%) of schwannomas, 1 case (4.3%) of neurofibroma and 1 case (4.3%) of hemangiomas were identified with histopathology postoperatively. The tumors were all completely excised, and the facial nerve function could recovered to HB III at the best after facial nerve repairment.
CONCLUSION
Facial nerve tumor is a rare and often misdiagnosed disease which was commonly manifested as facial nerve paralysis. Temporal bone CT and MRI can help to clarify the diagnosis preoperatively. Pure tone audiometry and electroneurography also plays a some certain roles in the diagnosis of facial nerve tumors. The tumors should be completely resected and the surgical approaches were determined based on tumor size, facial nerve function and preoperative auditory function.

Objective To explore the effect of chimera on acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after xenogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Methods Chimera was produced by exposing rats to sublethal total body irradiation and mouse bone marrow transplantation plus intraperitoneal injection of CTX. Mice were divided into three groups. Mice in group A were transplanted with marrow cells of rats without chimera, mice in group B with marrow cells with chimera, and mice in group C with C57BL/6 of rat marrow cells with chimera. Prophylactic effect on the model of aGVHD in the mice induced after xenogeneic bone marrow transplantation was observed. Results All transplantated mice showed typical aGVHD signs. Animals in group A developed typical aGVHD, and death occurred in 10-12 days after transplantation. The mean survival time of group B were longer than that of group A and C, and the signs and histopathological changes of aGVHD in group B were less severe. Conclusion Xenogeneic chimera can prevent aGVHD, alleviate its symptoms and histopathological changes, and prolong mean survival time. The prophylactic effect is specific.

OBJECTIVE:
10 summarize tne clinical features of the facial nerve tumors involving the internal auditory canal and promote the management of facial nerve tumor.
METHOD:
We retrospectively reviewed the clinical manifestations, the experiences of diagnosis and treatment of the facial nerve tumor involving the internal auditory canal. All these 5 cases were enrolled during January 2013 to Apr 2015.
RESULT:
Among the 5 cases, 3 cases were facial neurilemmoma and the others were facial neurofibroma. The main symptoms of facial nerve tumors involving the internal auditory canal most commonly were facial paralysis companied with hearing loss. All the patients accepted the surgical treatment with various approaches, 3 cases of translabyrinthine approach, 1 case of middle fossa approach, and 1 case of combination of translabyrinthine and transotic approach. Total tumor resection were achieved in all 5 cases. Facial-hypoglossal nerve anastomosis was performed in one case, another case was undergone great auricular nerve graft.
CONCLUSION
Surgical intervention for patients with facial neuroma involving internal auditory canal should be considered when facial weakness has deteriorated to grade 4. The management should be based on the patient's hearing, facial nerve function, tumor size and invasive extension to select the appropriate surgical procedures.

Objective To explore the invasion effect of CXCR3 overexpression on T lymphoblastic leukemia (Jurkat cells) with chemokine receptors. Methods Mouse CXCR3 was amplified by RT-PCR and overexpressing CXCR3 lentivirus carrying GFP&Puromycin (puro) was constructed. CXCR3 expression on infected Jurkat cells surface was detected by FCM. Constructed cells were seeded in Transwell invasion model to study whether CXCR3 overexpression would increase the invasion or not. Results GFP expression on Jurkat cells was less than 10% after 96 h lentivirus infection. CXCR3 expression was 90% higher than vector group , and GFP expression reached 90% after screening. Therefore, Jurkat cells with stable overexpression of CXCR3 were successfully constructed. Invasion rate of Jurkat CXCR3 cells was [(12.71 ± 1.03)%], which was significant higher than that of vector control group [(6.82 ± 0.49)%], (P < 0.0001). Conclusions CXCR3 expression on leukemia cells is closely associated with leukemia invasion. The increase of CXCR3 expression can enhance the invasion of leukemia cells, and may be one of the mechanisms of T lymphoblastic leukemia invasion.

The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) VP22, is one of the most abundant HSV-1 tegument proteins with an average stoichiometry of 2 400 copies per virion and conserved among alphaherpesvirinae. Many functions are attributed to VP22, including nuclear localization, chromatin binding, microtubule binding, induction of microtubule reorganization, intercellular transport, interaction with cellular proteins, such as template activating factor I (TAF-I) and nonmuscle myosin II A (NMIIA), and viral proteins including tegument protein VP16, pUS9 and pUL46, glycoprotein E (gE) and gD. Recently, many novel functions performed by the HSV-1 VP22 protein have been shown, including promotion of protein synthesis at late times in infection, accumulation of a subset of viral mRNAs at early times in infection and possible transcriptional regulation function.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and risk factors of migraine patients with white matter le-sions (WMLs). Methods One hundred ten clinically diagnosed migraine patients who underwent magnetic resonance im-aging (MRI) scans from October, 2010 to August, 2013 were enrolled in Shandong Provincial Hospital. One hundred ten migraine patients were divided into two groups:WMLs group and non-WMLs group based on the presence or absence of WMLs in MRI scans. The clinical features of the patients and location and number of WMLs were investigated. Noncondi-tional multivariate stepwise logistic regression after univariate analysis was used to analyze the data. Odds ratio (0R) and 95 confidence interval after adjustment for possible confounding variables were calculated. Results①There were 36 patients with WMLs among the 110 migraine patients. The incidence of WMLs in migraine patients was 32.7%. The WMLs in migraine patients were predominantly present in the frontal and parietal lobes (59.1%). ② Compared with non-WMLs group, there were significant increases in disease duration (5.3±3.7 vs. 7.6±4.9, P﹤0.01), frequency of head-ache attack (3.5 ± 2.3 vs. 4.6 ± 2.2, P﹤0.05), aura (18.9%vs. 36.1%, P﹤0.05) and family history of migraine (12.2%vs. 44.4%, P﹤0.01) in WMLs group.③The independent risk factors of WMLs in migraine patients were family history of mi-graine (OR=5.995), aura (OR=3.067) and long disease duration (OR=1.165). Conclusions Family history of migraine, au-ra and disease duration are the predictive risk factors of WMLs in migraineurs.
