Objective 17β-estradiol is known to have a neuroprotective effect.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 17β-estradiol on propofol-induced neuroapoptosis in primarily cultured cortical neurons. Methods Rat cortical neurons were primarily cultured for 7 days and randomly divided into groups A ( vehicle control) , B, and C, treated with equal volume of 20%intralipid, 500 μmol/L propofol, and 500 μmol/L propofol +0.1 μmol/L 17β-estradiol, respectively.At 12 hours after treatment, the morphology of the neurons was observed under the microscope, their survival rate calculated by MTT, their apoptosis was deter-mined by FCM assay, and their mitochondrial membrane potential measured by fluorescent dye rhodamine 123. Results Compared with group A, group B showed a significantly reduced number of neurons, lack of 3-dimensional appearance, unclear contour, and fractured neuron axons, but a remarkable improvement was observed in the propofol-induced morphological damage in group C.The survival rate of the neurons and the mitochondrial membrane potential were markedly decreased in group B ([52.3 ±5.2]% and [59.1 ± 5.3]%) as compared with groups A ( [99.9 ±3.6]%and [99.6 ± 5.8]%) and C ([90.1 ±7.2]%and [89.2 ±7.1]%) (both P<0.01 ) , while the rate of neuroapoptosis significantly increased in group B ([43.4 ±4.6]%) in comparison with A ([3.1 ±0.2]%) and C ([22.3 ±3.2]%) (both P<0.01). Conclusion 17β-es-tradiol can protect against propofol-induced apoptosis of primarily cul-tured neurons by inhibiting the reduction of their mitochondrial membrane potential.

Objective To evaluate the value of Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score on diffusion weight-ed imaging(DWI-ASPECTS)in predicting the leptomeningeal collateral circulation(LMA)compensation of isch-emic stroke with middle cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods A total of 178 patients with ischemic stroke confirmed as severe middle cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion by imaging were enrolled in the study.All the patients were treated by rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis.The baseline clinical date, DWI-ASPECTS,mRS and NIHSS were collected. LMA was assessed by cranio-cervical CTA. Results Compared with the poor collateral circulation group,the triglyceride level and DWI-ASPECTS were significantly increased in good collateral circulation group(P<0.05).The proportion of hypertension,NIHSS score,mRS score in good col-lateral circulation group were significantly lower than those in the poor collateral circulation group(P < 0.05). Compared with the poor collateral circulation group,insula,the ASPECTS areas M1 to M4,M6 and insula showed significantly fewer infarctions in good collateral circulation group(P<0.05).ROC analysis showed the area under ROC curve(AUC)of DWI-ASPECTS to predict LMA compensation were 0.932,the cutoff point of DWI-ASPECTS was 7.5.the sensitivity and specificity were 81.% and 94.1%.Conclusions The tissue protective role of good lepto-meningeal collateralization seems to be more pronounced in cortical and subcortical areas M1 to M4,M6 and the in-sula.DWI-ASPECTS can effectively predict the collateral circulation compensation in patients with acute middle ce-rebral artery infarction.

OBJECTIVE:
To identify aberrantly expressed miRNAs in rectal cancer.
METHODS:
We used the miRCURY™ Array® LNA microRNA chip (v.14.0) to evaluate miRNA expression levels between rectal cancer tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues; an average change more than 2-fold (and P value less than 0.05) was set as a cutoff level. All 6 paired rectal cancers were classified pathology stage C or D.
RESULTS:
Eighty-eight miRNAs were up-regulated and 46 miRNAs have been reported in colorectal cancer; 40 miRNAs were down-regulated in rectal cancers and 15 miRNAs have been reported in colorectal cancer. To compare the relative miRNA expression levels as measured by RT-qPCR and chip analysis, we analyzed expression levels of these miRNAs in the cancer tissues. The results showed that miRNA expression (increased or decreased) in the paired benign and tumor tissue was consistent between the two methods in all cases. Expression levels of 6 up-regulated miRNAs (by chip analysis compared to RT-qPCR) varied in a range from -11.9% to 39.1% . Expression levels of 5 down-regulated miRNAs varied in a range from 1.4% to 29.4%. The Pearson correlation of relative miRNAs expression levels was analyzed by cDNA array versus RT-qPCR, and found to be 0.96 (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION
miRNA profile in rectal cancer showed unique characteristics, and identified a series of new, aberrantly expressed miRNAs.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety in patients with largeartery occlusive acute cerebral infarction who received multi-interventional modes mainly with mechanical thrombectomy and its related factors affecting prognosis. Methods The clinical data of 56 patients with large artery occlusive acute cerebral infarction were analyzed retrospectively. The clinical characteristics (gender,age,and underlying diseases),timing of treatment (time from ictus to puncture,time from puncture to recanalization), multi-interventional mode therapies (intra-arterial thrombolysis,thrombectomy,balloon dilation,and stenting, etc. ),and distribution of offending vessels were observed. The modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia Scale (mTICI)grade was used to evaluate revascularization. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score was used to observe the neurological function at 24 h before and after procedures. The modified Rankin scale (mRS)was used to evaluate the prognosis at 3 months after procedure. The safety of the treatment was evaluated with operative complications (mainly symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage)and mortality. The patients were divided into either a good prognosis group (n = 34;mRS≤2)or a poor prognosis group (n =22;mRS≥3)according to the prognosis at 3 months after procedure. They were analyzed with univariate analysis. The factors influencing the prognosis were further analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results (1)The recanalization rate in 56 patients was 78. 6%(n = 44),in which basilar artery was the highest,reaching 93. 8% (15 / 16),middle cerebral artery was 87. 0% (20 / 23). The NIHSS score at 24 hours was 10 ± 7,it was lower than 16 ± 6 on admission. There was significant difference (t =6. 401,P <0. 01). At 3 months,34 patients (60. 7%)had good prognosis,4 (7. 1%)died,and 8 (14. 3%) had symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. (2)Multiple factor analysis showed that the high level of recanalization was a protective factor for good prognosis (OR,0. 465,95% CI 0. 267 -0. 809,P =0. 007). Diabetes was an independent risk factor for poor prognosis (OR,5. 535,95% CI 1. 101 -27. 835, P = 0. 038). Conclusion Acute large artery occlusive cerebral infarction treated with the intra-arterial multi-interventional modes may quickly and effectively restore intracranial blood flow. It has the characteris-tics of high recanalization rate and good prognosis,and the higher the level of recanalization,the better the prognosis. Diabetes is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis.

Objective :
To analyze the status of glucose metabolism in obese children.
Methods :
266 cases of obese children were included in the study,fasting plasma glucose ( FPG) ,fasting insulin ( FINS) ,glycosylated hemoglobin ( HbA1c) were measured ,Oral glucose tolerance test ( OGTT) and insulin release test ( IRT) were carried out,insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) ,quantified insulin sensitivity index ( QUICKI) and peak insu- lin /fasting insulin (Ip / I0 ) were calculated.Two hundred non-obese healthy children were used as control group, and glucose metabolism indexes were compared between the two groups. Glucose metabolism indexes and the incidence of insulin resistance (IR) were compared in children with different degrees of obesity .Prediabetes risk factors and body mass index(BMI) correlation were analyzed in obese children.
Results :
The proportion of predia- betes and type 2 diabetes mellitus in obese children was 18. 0% (48 /266) .FINS,HOMA-IR and HbA1c in obesi- ty group were higher than those in the control group,but QUICKI was lower than that in the control group (P < 0. 05) .There was no significant difference in FPG between the two groups (P = 0. 423) .FINS and HOMA-IR of severe obesity group were higher than those of mild to moderate obesity group,Ip / I0 was lower than that of mild to moderate obesity group (P<0. 05) ,and there was no significant difference in FPG,QUICKI,HbA1c and 2hPG of severe obesity group.There was no significant difference in IR incidence between mild to moderate obesity group and severe obesity group (P = 0. 163) .Logistic regression indicated that BMI and acanthosis nigricans was great influential on prediabetes with no statistical significance(P>0. 05) .Correlation analysis showed that BMI had no correlation with FPG (P = 0. 160) ,but was positively correlated with FINS,HOMA-IR , 2hPG and HbA1c (P < 0. 05) ,and negatively correlated with QUICKI and Ip / I0 (P<0. 05) .
Conclusion
Abnormal glucose metabolism is available in nearly 20% of obese children.The prevalence of insulin resistance in obese children is not affected by the degree of obesity.
