Objective To study on the neural mechanism of deficits in Chinese developmental dyslexia from the aspects of the phonological processing,orthographic skills,visual magnocellular function and cerebellum function.Methods Critical words in Chinese and English (e.g.dyslexia,reading development,Chinese,neural) and formula (e.g.Chinese and (reading development) and (neural or neuroimage or fMRI or ERP or brain area) related with the present topic were searched among the article abstracts in Chinese and foreign databases (e.g.CNKI,Pubmed,Sciencedirect) from July to December,2014.Results Fifty-two relevant articles were gained access to the database.Referring to the present topic,research on the neural mechanism of dyslexia with neuroimaging technique was reserved,while the studies in which the reading impairment of the participants was caused by acquired factors were eliminated.Finally,thirty-three valid articles were retained.Conclusion According to previous studies,although there might be similarities in cognitive deficits of dyslexia between alphabetic languages and Chinese,it was still found that the Chinese children with developmental dyslexia exhibited abnormal neural activities and impaired brain structures in areas associated with Chinese phonology (i.e.left middle frontal gyrus,which was different from the left inferior fiontal gyrus always related with phonological processing in alphabetic languages) and orthographic skills (right occipitotemporal areas which was responsible for the visuospatial processing),revealing language specificity of Chinese to some extent.However,some other studies reported the similarities in neural mechanisms of dyslexia across languages.Therefore,more studies were required to further examine the crosscultural mechanism of the neural activity regarding the developmental dyslexia.Meanwhile,researches on the aspects of general perception showed Chinese dyslexic individuals had deficits in visual magnocellular function,and cerebellum.Future studies were required to explore the relationship between the linguistic and non-linguistic deficits.

Background and purpose:Progranulin (PGRN) is a novel growth factor that plays an important role in the tumorigenicity, tumor cell migration and cell cycle. Its expression in many malignant tumor cells is high. It is not only involved in tumor cell growth, but also closely related with the occurrence and evolution of tumor. This study was to investigate the expression of PGRN in gastric cancer and the effects on proliferation and senescence in gastric cancer cell line BGC823. Methods:Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of PGRN in gastric cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues; Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of PGRN in PGRN-siRNA BGC823 cells;MTT method, cell colony formation and cell senescence experiments were used to explore the effects of PGRN on proliferation and senescence in BGC823 cell. Results:PGRN protein levels were high in gastric cancer tissues;Knocking down the PGRN gene in BGC823 decreased the proliferation and clonogenic capacity, cloning efifciency in PGRN-siRNA group was (25.3±3.1)%, in the control group was (72.1±5.7)%, and in the normal cells was (80.3±4.0)%, there was no signiifcant difference between normal group and control group, but there were signiifcant differences among PGRN-siRNA group and the other two groups (P<0.05);Knocking down the PGRN gene in BGC823 cells could promote cell senescence. The positive rate of aging in PGRN-siRNA group was (27.6±2.1)%, in the control group was (3.2±1.3)%, and in the normal group was (1.9±1.2)%, there was no signiifcant difference between normal group and control group. But there were signiifcant differences among PGRN-siRNA group and the other two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:PGRN can be used as a new marker for gastric cancer, and provide new ideas to the treatment of gastric cancer.
