Objective To investigate the relationship between T?cell death?associated gene 8 ( TD?AG8) and endogenous neuron?protective mechanism against oxygen?glucose deprivation and restoration ( OGD∕R)?induced apoptosis in rat neurons. Methods The primary cortical neurons obtained from fetal rats were seeded in 6?well plates at a density of 1×105 cells∕ml and divided into 5 groups using a random number table: control group ( group C, n=24 ) , group OGD∕R ( n=48 ) , TDAG8 agonist BTB09089 group (group BTB, n=24), TDAG8?siRNA group ( group siRNA, n=24), and blank vehicle group ( group V, n=24) . The medium was replaced with glucose?and serum?free Locke′s buffer, and the neu?rons were exposed to 95% N2?5% CO2 in an air?tight incubator at 37℃ for 60 min followed by routine cul?ture to establish the model of OGD∕R. In BTB, siRNA and V groups, 20 μmol∕L TDAG8 agonist
BTB09089, 200 pmol∕L TDAG8?siRNA, and 6 μl∕200 μl transfection reagent were added, respectively, at 24 h before oxygen?glucose restoration. At 6 h of oxygen?glucose restoration, the neuronal viability and a?mount of lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH) released were measured, and the expression of TDAG8 and caspase?3 mRNA in neurons was detected by fluorescent quantitative real?time polymerase chain reaction. In group OGD∕R, the expression of TDAG8 and caspase?3 was measured by Western blot at 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h of oxygen?glucose restoration. In C, OGD∕R, BTB, siRNA and V groups, the expression of TDAG8, caspase?3 and p?Akt was detected at 6 h of oxygen?glucose restoration. Results In group OGD∕R, the ex?pression of TDAG8 was gradually up?regulated after oxygen?glucose restoration, and the expression of caspase?3 peaked at 6 h of oxygen?glucose restoration. Compared with group C, the neuronal viability was significantly decreased, the amount of LDH released was significantly increased, and the expression of TD?AG8 and caspase?3 protein and mRNA and p?Akt was significantly up?regulated in OGD∕R, V and siRNA groups ( P<0?05) . Compared with group OGD∕R, the expression of TDAG8 protein and mRNA and p?Akt was significantly up?regulated, the expression of caspase?3 protein and mRNA was significantly down?regu?lated, the neuronal viability was significantly increased, and the amount of LDH released was significantly decreased in group BTB, the expression of TDAG8 protein and mRNA and p?Akt was significantly down?regulated, the expression of caspase?3 protein and mRNA was significantly up?regulated, the neuronal via?bility was significantly decreased, and the amount of LDH released was significantly increased in group siR?NA ( P<0?05) , and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group V ( P>0?05) . Conclusion TDAG8 is partially involved in the endogenous neuron?protective mechanism against OGD∕R?induced apoptosis in rat neurons, which may be related to activation of Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To detect the DMD gene mutation sites and the regions of breakpoints in Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) patients in northern China. Methods Multiplex amplifiable probe hybridization (MLPA) was used to detect the mutation in 59 cases (51 cases with DMD and 8 with BMD) from northern China and dystrophin gene mutations in their parents. Results From northern China and dystrophin gene mutations 59 families found gene deletions in 33 cases of 59 DMD/BMD patients (55.9%), duplications in 6 cases (10. 2%) and point mutation in one case (1.7%). Intron 44 was most frequently affected (n = 13, 33.3%), followed by intron 50 (n = 11, 28.2%) and intron 45 (n=8, 20.5%). The novel mutations were identified, in two patients including two independent duplications carried by patient D1 149 and a point mutation [5208del(A)] carried by patient D1 65, which were not included in Leiden database. In addition, an exon 22 deletion was found in one patient, which was the first reported case in Chinese patients. Conclusions Deletions are mostly located in the hotspot between exon 45 and 50. Duplications mostly occurred in the 5' end of the gene. Intron 44 is the most frequently affected breakpoint in northern Chinese population.

Objective To investigate DNA excision repair cross-complementing gene-1 (ERCC1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression levels in gastric cancer (GC) and evaluate the correlation between two proteins. Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression of ERCC1 and COX-2 in 239 GC cases, and analyzed the association between ERCC1 and COX-2 expression levels and clinicopathologic parameters. Results ERCC1 and COX-2 expression levels were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (P <0.05), while not associated with tumor size, location, depth of invasion and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). The positive expression rate of COX-2 in GC patients with HP infection was 86.5%, higher than those without HP infection. No correlation was found between two proteins. Conclusion Both ERCC1 and COX-2 were related with tumor progression, which may serve as valuable markers for determining biological behavior in GC. However , they did not show positive interaction.

This paper proposed a morphological component analysis (MCA) method, which is based on sparse representation, to detect the spike wave in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. It takes the advantage of MCA being able to extract the background waves and the spike waves from the EEG signals, respectively,as the dictionaries and chooses the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and the daubechies order 4 wavelet (db4) transformation as the dictionaries of MCA to detect the spike waves from the epileptic EEG. The experiment results showed that the MCA could detect epileptic spike waves in EEG signals very effectively, and it yielded high selectivity of 89.01% and sensitivity of 90.71%. As a feature extraction/decomposition algorithm, MCA can be used to extract the spike waves from EEG signals.
