Objective To study the pathologic and molecular genetic characteristics of Chinese patients with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy(OPMD).Methods The ultrastructural muscle biopsies in 6 patients were carried out by using transmission electron microscopy.The DNA was obtained through blood samples from patients(n=11) and the at-risk individuals(n=16).Amplification of the PABPN1 gene mutation region was performed by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).The sequences were obtained and compared with the genomic sequence of the human PABPN1 gene.Results Intranuclear inclusions(INIs) were found by electron microscopy in 4 patients,and the rate of appearance was 18%,20%,34% and 40%.Sequence analysis of exon 1 of PABPN1 gene showed abnormal expansions of the GCG-repeat—(GCG)_8 and(GCG)_(10) in 9 patients.Conclusions INIs might be found by electron microscopy in muscle biopsies of OPMD patients.The rate of appearance of INIs should have positive relationship with the amount of the GCG-repeat.PABPN1 gene mutations might be present among Chinese patients with OPMD,and should have a negative relationship with the age of onset.

Objective To study the clinical,image and pathological features of cerebral gliomatosis.Methods 2 cases with cerebral gliomatosis underwent routine MRI scan, contrast enhance MRI scan and pathologic examination of the lesions. Their clinical manifestations were observed during the past 2 years.Results Main clinic features of the 2 patients were headache, dizziness, nausea, vomit, diplopia, hemiplegia, hemianesthesia and ataxia. Cranial MRI scan showed long T 2 signals in the bitemporal lobes, biparietal lobes, corpus collosum, thalamus, caudate nucleus and putamen. Brain stem and cerebellum were also involved in 1 patient. The borders of the lesions were unclear and no mass-effect phenomenons were found. Contrast enhancement occurred only in 1 patient after Gd-DTPA injection. The biopsies in the 2 patients showed diffuse infiltrative growth of most astroglioma cells. The shape of nucleus was round or ellipse and the staining of nucleus was comparatively deep. Cleavage of nucleus was seldom. The 2 patients died in 4 to 6 months after the onset of the disease.Conclusions MRI scan and pathologic examination are essential diagnostic methods for cerebral gliomatosis. The prognosis of cerebral gliomatosis is poor.

BACKGROUND:With the social and economic development and aging, coronary heart disease has become the primary cause of death endangering human life and health, while cardiovascular intervention (especial y stenting) in the treatment of cardiovascular disease is at a growing status. OBJECTIVE:To describe the development, research progress and latest clinical application of heart interventional materials as wel as advantages and disadvantages of biodegradable stents, and meanwhile to prospect for its future development and improvement. METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed for English language publications from January 1999 to April 2014 using the key words of“stent, scaffold, bioabsorbable, bioresorbable, biodegradable, biocompatibility, material properties”in English. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The new ful y biodegradable stents are considered as another major progress in the cardiac intervention, which brings a new gospel for patients with coronary heart disease. In the initial stage of implantation, biodegradable stents exhibit the same mechanical support as bare metal stents;after implantation, anti-proliferative drugs are released to prevent thrombosis and restenosis, and the stent is completely degraded within a specified period, which significantly reduces the late-stage and very late-stage thrombosis and the risk of in-stent restenosis. However, long-term safety and efficacy of biodegradable stents need further studies. Innovation of stent design and materials science is the key to overcome the current shortcomings of biodegradable stents.

BACKGROUND: Injured nerve can regenerate through end-to-side anastomosis and obtain partial physiological function in animal experiment. As an immuno-suppressivedrug, FK506, which is characterized by promoting neural growth and functional recovery, is paid widely attention to.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of FK506 on functional recovery of peripheral nerve after end-to-side anastomosis.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Department of Operation Surgery, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Department of Operation Surgery, Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in March 2005. Totally 26female Wistar rats were selected and divided into experimental group and control group with 13 in each group.METHODS: Peroneal nerve was transacted on the right side of all the animals, the proximal end of peronieal nerve was turned back and ligated, and the distal end was sutured to the side of tibial nerve with perineurial window. No operation was done on the left side. FK506 was injected in the right tibial muscle (2 mg/kg· d), once a day within two weeks in the experimental group, and saline was used in another group as contrast.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Three months afteroperation, the bilateral common peroneal nerve and the tibial muscle were taken for electrophysiological and histological examination, and the number of common peroneal nerve fiber, area of tibialis anterior muscle fiber of transverse section and muscle wet weight of tibialis anterior muscle were measured. The results were expressed with the ratio between right side and left side (i.e.recovery rate).RESULTS: Totally 26 rats entered the final analysis. ① Results of histological examination: Both ratio of number of nerve fiber and ratio of area of muscle fiber in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group (0.734±0.143, 0.412±0.119; 0.628±0.125, 0.432±0.135; P ＜ 0.01,0.05). ② Results of electrophysiological examination: Recovery rate of action potential, recovery rate of single muscular contractility and recovery rate of tetanus contractility in the experimental group were higher that those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05). ③ Ratio of wet weight in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (0.765±0.101,0.513±0.116, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: FK506 injected into targeted muscle can promote growth and functional recovery of peripheral nerve in end-to-side anastomosis.

Objective To explore the effect of tert?butylhydroquinone(tBHQ)on ultraviolet B(UVB)?induced oxidative damages in human im?mortalized keratinocytes(HaCaT),and discuss its mechanism. Methods The cultured HaCaT cells were randomly divided into 4 groups:control group(G1),ultraviolet irradiation group(G2),25μmol/L tBHQ pretreatment before ultraviolet irradiation group(G3),and 50μmol/L tBHQ pre?treatment before ultraviolet irradiation group(G4). The content of reactive oxygen species was detected by DCFH?DA method,and the cell prolifera?tion was evaluated by MTT. Western blot was used to measure the protein expression of nuclear factor E2?related factor 2(Nrf2)in both nuclear fac?tions and whole?cell of HaCaT. The mRNA expressions of CAT and SRX were determined by real?time RT?PCR. Results The content of reactive oxygen species in HaCaT cells was increased,and the cell proliferation rate was decreased significantly after ultraviolet irradiation. The pretreatment of 25 and 50μmol/L tBHQ can inhibit the UVB?induced oxidative damage in a dose?dependent manner in HaCaT cells. Compared with G2 group, tBHQ pretreatment could dose?dependently increase the level of Nrf2 protein in nuclear factions and whole?cell of HaCaT,and also the mRNA ex?pressions of CAT and SRX. Conclusion UVB irradiation can induce oxidative stress damages of HaCaT cells. tBHQ may inhibit the UVB?induced oxidative damages through enhancing Nrf2 expressions and nuclear translocation,then activating the transcription of the downstream antioxidant en?zymes CAT and SRX.
