Objective To explore a new index for reflecting the topological information of brain functional networks in patients at high risk of Alzheimer disease using characteristics of resting-state functional connectivity strengths(FCS) in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI). Methods Thirty-one aMCI patients and 42 age, gender and years of education matched normal controls were enrolled between September 2009 and April 2011 in this study. The resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data of all participants were acquired and preprocessed. Then the whole-brain functional connectivities were constructed for exploring the distribution characteristics of hub regions which had higher FCS values. Using two-sample t test to compare group differences in age, years of education and each neuropsychological assessment. In addition, using Chi-squared test to compare group differences in gender. Group differences in FCS values were analyzed by general linear model. Finally, correlation analyses were used to evaluate the relationships between the FCS values of the brain regions with group differences and behavioral scores in aMCI patients. Results The hub regions of the functional networks in the aMCI patients were mainly located in the association cortices such as the precuneuses, posterior cingulate cortices, medial prefrontal cortices, angular gyri, superior occipital gyri, fusiform gyri and lingual gyri. The distribution models in the aMCI patients were consistent with those in the normal controls. However, the FCS values of these brain regions were significantly lower in the aMCI patients than those in the normal controls. In comparison to the normal controls, the aMCI patients had significantly decreased FCS values in the bilateral fusiform gyri, lingual gyri, superior occipital gyri, left middle occipital gyrus and postcentral gyrus (the cluster was 389, 230, 187 and 107 voxels, respectively;P<0.05, respectively), and they had decreased trends of FCS values in the bilateral posterior cingulate cortices and right insulas. The correlation analysis with uncorrected conditions showed that the FCS values of the left postcentral gyri were correlatid with the clock drawing test (CDT) scores (r=0.436, P=0.026). Conclusions aMCI mainly attacks the hub regions of brain functional networks. The changes of functional connectivities in aMCI may reflect the early pathophysiologic alterations of AD.

Objective To identify the clinical features, the molecular diagnosis and the molecular mechanism of three unrelated factor X deficiency families. Methods Three probands were male and the diagnosis was validated by coagulant parameters. The F X coagulation activity ( F X∶ C ) and antigen (FX∶ Ag) were tested by clotting test and ELISA method. The cross-corrected test was used to rule out the inhibitor of FX in plasma. Thrombin generation test was evaluated. The antigen and the molecule weight of the FX in plasma were measured with western blotting. Gene mutations were analyzed in the probands and their family members with PCR and DNA sequencing. FX expression plasmids were constructed and transientby being transfected into 293T cells. FX: C and FX: Ag of the expression products were tested. Results APTT and PT in proband 1 were obviously prolonged, 113.4 s and 62.3 s, respectively. And there was no inhibitor in plasma. The thrombin generation was lower compared to normal reference. APTT and PT in proband 2 were 56. 5 s and 28.7 s. There was no inhibitor in the plasma. The thrombin generation was 1 101.5 nmol · min. APTT and PT in proband 3 were 117.3 s and 44. 3 s. The thrombin generation was 782.5 nmol · min. FX∶ C and FX∶ Ag in proband 1 were 1.4% and 3.6%, with a homozygous mutation in FX gene (Ser425→Pro). In vitro expression of the mutation showed a normal synthesis in the cell but secretion dysfuntion. In proband 2 F X: C and F X: Ag were 2. 2% and 5. 5%, with two heterozygous mutations in FX gene (Ala-29→Pro and Phe324→Leu). The Ala-29 → Pro mutation led to significantly reduced expressions of FX in both cell lysate and cell culture supernatants compared to wild-type plasmid,(41.32 ±5.21 )% and(6. 30 ± 1.84)% respectively. However Phe324→Leu mutation almost did not affect the FX synthesis. FX: C and FX: Ag in proband 3 were 2. 2% and 35%, with two heterozygous mutations in FX gene( Ala235→Thr and Arg347→Cys). The expressions of these two mutant FX proteins in cell lysate were similar to those of wild-type but obviously lower in the supernatant. Conclusions Five mutations of F X gene are found in this study. These mutations (Ser425Pro, Phe324Leu, Ala235Thr and Arg347Cys)can not affect F X protein synthesis. However Ala-29Pro mutation can reduce F X protein synthesis and cause secretion dysfunction.

Objective:To assess the safety and feasibility of single-port robotic radical cystectomy.Methods:During May 2019 and August 2019, nine patients (8 males, 1 female) received single-port robotic radical cystectomy by the same surgeon. The average age was 65.6(56-78)years. After a 4.5-5.5 cm trans-umbilical incision was made, Lagiport was inserted. Da Vinci Si system 1 #, 2 # arms and 30° lens were applied. Radical cystectomy and bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy were performed without additional ports. Urinary diversion was completed outside the body. Uterus and vaginal anterior walls were also resected for female patient. Results:All 9 surgeries were successfully conducted without additional ports or conversion to laparoscopic and open surgery. The average operation time was 437.8(280-600)min. Urinary diversion methods included 2 orthotopic ileal neobladder, 5 ideal conduit and 2 cutaneous ureterostomy. Average estimated blood loss was 227.8(100-450)ml, without blood transfusion. Average intestinal recovery time was 3.1(2-4)days, drainage duration was 8.3(3-16) days, and postoperative hospital stays was 7.7(6-13) days. Pathological TNM stage: T 2aN 0M 0 6 cases, T 2bN 0M 0 1 case, T 3aN 3M 0 1 case, T isN 0M 0 1 case. All surgical margins were negative. One bowel obstruction was cured with fasting and indwelling gastric tube. During 9-12 months’ follow-up, no tumor recurrence and metastasis were observed. There was no hydronephrosis or ureterostenosis. All surgical incision healed well. Conclusions:For experienced surgeons, single-port robotic radical cystectomy is safe and feasible with small incision and fast recovery. Short-term clinical result is satisfied.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the difference in gene expression profiles and screen silicosis development related differentially expressed genes(DEGs) and signaling pathways in peripheral blood specimens of rats exposed to silica dust using bioinformatics and gene chip. METHODS: GSE27023 gene expression profiles of peripheral blood samples of rats exposed to silica dust were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database. After screening of the DEGs through paired-sample t-test and fold change method,DEGs related to rats exposed to silica dust was performed by Gene Ontology functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. The protein-protein interaction(PPI) network was constructed with the Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes database and visualized using the software Cytoscape. RESULTS: Of the 2 767 DEGs screened,1 363 were up-regulated and1 404 were down-regulated. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that 39 signaling pathways,such as the calcium signaling pathway,neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,Ras-related protein 1 signaling pathway,were significantly enriched. DEGs enrichment and significance reached the highest level in the calcium signaling pathway. PPI network and module analysis suggested that mitogen-activated protein kinase 14(Mapk14),DNA-directed RNA PolymeraseⅡ,V-erb-a erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog 4,B-cell lymphoma-2(Bcl-2),receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 4,PH domain leucine-rich repeat protein phosphatase 2,DNA-directed RNA polymerase Ⅲ,neurogenic locus notch homolog protein 1,histone deacetylase 1,yeast switch in mating type/Sucrose non fermentation related,matrix associated,actin dependent regulator of chromatin,subfamily a,member 4 were top 10 hub-proteins. Mapk14 had the highest node degree in up-regulated DEGs,and Bcl-2 had the highest node degree in down-regulated DEGs. CONCLUSION: We found 39 signaling pathways and 10 DEGs that are related to toxicity caused by exposure to silica dust in rats by analysis of peripheral blood gene chip data. Among them,calcium signaling pathway,Mapk14 and Bcl-2 may play important roles in the development and progress of silicosis in rats.

Objective:
To explore the effects of ApoE epsilon4 (ApoE-ε4) alleles on cognitive function and resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI) based on a prospective cohort study.
Methods:
An average of 20 months of prospective observations were conducted on 16 ApoE-ε4-carriers and 24 non-carriers of aMCI. Neuropsychological assessments and rs-fMRI data were collected at both baseline and follow-up. All participants were assessed by a battery of neuropsychological tests and underwent rs-fMRI. Two core regions of the default mode network (DMN), the left posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), were selected as seeds to calculate the functional connectivity. Two-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to assess the effects of ApoE genotype(ε4-carriers, nonε4-carriers), interval and the interaction between these two factors for functional connectivity extracted from changed region found by
