Purpose To study the effect of overexpressing either wild type or a familial Alzheimer disease mutant presenilin 1 (mPS1) on tau phosphorylation in neuroblastoma NG-108 cells. Methods Three different plasmids transfected NG-108 cells respectively. Immunostaining and confocal microscopic technique were used to study the distribution of presenilin 1 and phosphorylated tau. Immunoblot test was applied to investigate the change of tau phosphorylation. Results Immunostaining showed that in brain of sporadic Alzheimer disease, PS1 mainly distributed in neuron and partially colocalized with the phosphorylated tau. Immunoblot tests showed that the cells transected either wild type PS1 or mPS1 contained more phorphorylated tau than the control cells. However, MTT test showed no significant difference between mock transfected cells and the wPS1 or mPS1 transfected cells. In addition, after transfection of the constructed PS1-EGFP vector, overexpressed EGFP-PS1 was located at cell surface membrane and subcellular organelles at earlier time at 12 hr, then EGFP-PS1 diffused in cytosol. Immunocytochemical observations demonstrated that some of the PS1-EGFP transfected cells contained more phosphorylated tau protein, which formed aggresome with PS-1-EGFP. When treated with phosphotase inhibitor okadaic acid, in the PS1-EGFP transfected cells accumulated more phosphorylated tau than the un-transfected cells. Conclusions Wild type PS1 is possibly involved in tauopathy in sporadic Alzheimer's disease.

OBJECTIVE: To explore whether there are beta-amyloid protein (Abeta) binding elements in heart-beneficial recipe (HBR, a compound traditional Chinese herbal medicine), which can ameliorate the cytotoxicity of Abeta. METHODS: The extract of HBR and Abeta(1-40) were co-precipitated, and the Abeta(1-40) in pellets was detected by immunoblotting. Affi-gel-Abeta(1-40) was constructed, and Affi-gel-Abeta(1-40) affinity elements from the extract of HBR were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The assay of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release from the primary cultured rat cortex neurons was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of Abeta(1-42), and the protection effects of the HBR serum and the Affi-gel-Abeta(1-40) treated HBR serum. RESULTS: Immunoblotting examination showed Abeta(1-40) could be co-precipitated with components of HBR following co-incubation, and the amount of Abeta(1-40) within pellets decreased when the HBR extract was diluted. Abeta(1-40) affinity elements from the extract of HBR, eluted from Affi-gel-Abeta(1-40) by glycine solution (pH=2.5), could be detected by HPLC-fluorescent detector system. The analysis of LDH release showed that exposure of neurons to 5 micromol/L Abeta(1-42) for 48 h caused a significant increase of LDH release in either a serum free or 10% serum contained culture condition (P<0.01). The rat HBR serum was able to suppress Abeta(1-42) induced LDH release (P<0.05), whereas Affi-gel-Abeta(1-40) treated HBR serum still maintained the ability to attenuate Abeta(1-42) induced LDH release although the effect was somewhat decreased compared with Affi-gel treated HBR serum. CONCLUSION: There are Abeta affinity components in HBR, which could not increase the Abeta cytotoxicity, but might be able to inhibit the cytotoxicity of Abeta. The results implied that the exploration of Abeta affinity elements from Chinese medicinal recipe which is effective for Alzheimer disease, might be an important direction in Alzheimer disease therapeutic research area.

Objective To Discuss the impacts of different dosage of atorvastatirs on serum hsCRP,IL-10 and MCP-1 levels on post-intervention patients with coronary stenting. Methods 93 post-intervention patients with coronary stenting were selected and randomly divided into 3 groups.Each group took different dosage of oral atorvastatins after the operation for more than one week.The dosage for each group was 10 mg,20 mg and 40 mg,respectively.Each patient was phlebotomized for three times,which are 24 hours before the operation,24 hours after the operation and one week after the operation.Serum MCP-1,IL-10 and hs-CRP levels were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)and immunoturbidimetry(ITM). Results Serum hs-CRP and MCP-1 levels of post-intervention patients were significantly higher than those of pre-intervention.This illustrated that the serum hsCRP and MCP-1 levels were closely related to PCI.Serum hs-CRP and MCP-1 levels decreased in those patients one week after operation which proves they are negatively correlated with the dosage of atorvastatins.There was no statistic evidence to prove the correlation between different dosage of atorvastatins and the level of serum IL-10.The ratio of MCP-1/IL-10 at 24h post-intervention patient was significantly higher than pre-intervention,which proves the ratio was negatively correlated with the dosage of atorvastatins. Conclusion Atorvastatins decreases serum MCP-1 and hs-CRP levels after PCI.Serum MCP-1 and hs-CRP levels were negatively correlated with the dosage of atorvastatins.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and prognostic risk factors of ALL-R-2003 protocol in the treatment of relapsed childhood relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in single center. Methods A retrospective study of clinical data of 51 children with relapsed ALL from January 2004 to December 2014 was performed by using SPSS version 19.0 statistical software for statistical analysis. Results The median age at initial diagnosis of 51 patients was 5.5 years (range, 0.8-13.4 years). The median time from initial diagnosis to relapse was 25 months (range, 3-68 months) and follow-up time was 39 months (range, 3-116 months). The relapse rate in the standard-risk, intermediate-risk and the high-risk groups were 27.5 % (14/51), 29.4 %(15/51) and 43.1 % (22/51), respectively. The probability of 3-year overall survival (pOS) after relapse was (18.8±5.9)%and the probability of event free survival (pEFS) was (16.2±5.8)%. The 3-year pOS in very early relapse, early relapse and late relapse were 0, (11.7 ±7.7) % and (51.7 ±14.8) %, respectively (P= 0.000). There was no statistical difference in survival rate of different immunophenotype groups and sites of relapse (P> 0.05). The 3-year pOS of group S1, S2, S3, S4 were (50.0±35.4) %, (39.9±1.3) %, (10.0±9.5) % and 0, respectively (P=0.000). The 3-year pOS of bcr-abl and MLL gene positive groups were (25.0±21.7) %and 0, respectively, with no statistically significance compared with the negtive group [(24.1±12.0)%] (P>0.05). The 3-year pOS rates of children with bone marrow transplantation and without transplantation were (40.0 ±15.5) %and (13.0 ±5.9) % respectively (P= 0.038). Conclusions The children who in high risk group at initial diagnose are easily to meet earlier relapse and poorer prognosis. The survival period after relapse of bcr-abl or MLL gene positive cases is very short. Bone marrow transplantation can improve survival rate. Risk group at initial diagnose, relapse time and transplantation are the main factors influencing prognosis, and the relapse time and transplantation are the independent prognostic factors for relapsed childhood ALL.
