With the increased survival of the low birth weight,brain injury in the premature infants be-comes a problem of enormous importance. The introduction of the term “encephalopathy of prematurity” is the current recognition that preterm brain injury is a complex of white and gray matter damage. The combination of white matter injury and neuronal/axonal deficits constitutes encephalopathy of prematurity. The preterm infants develop primary destructive brain lesions,secondary degeneration and disturbance of maturation from hypoxia-is-chemia and inflammation,which leads to cerebral palsy,cognitive,behavioral,or language deficits. This article reviews the neuropathology,pathogenesis,therapy and neurodevelopmental disability of encephalopathy of pre-maturity.

Background and purpose:High mobility group 1 (HMGB1), frequently found to be over-expressed in many human tumors, plays an important role in tumor progress and metastasis. This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of HMGB1 promoting A549 cell metastasis.Methods:A549 cells were untreated or treated with HMGB1 (200 ng/mL) in absence or presence of NF-κB inhibitors 6-amino-4-quinazoline (QNZ, 40 nmol/L) or Bortezomib (Bort, 20 nmol/L). Scratch assay and Transwell assay were performed to evaluate A549 cells migration and invasion ability. The activity of NF-κB was examined by luciferase reporter assay. NF-κBp65 and αvβ3 expressions were detected by Real-time RT-PCR or Western blot.Results:HMGB1 increased A549 cells migration and invasion ability. HMGB1 enhanced NF-κB protein level and NF-κB activity in A549 cells. Real-time RT-PCR and Western blot showed that HMGB1 up-regulated αvβ3 expression in A549 cells. NF-κB inhibitors QNZ or Bort reserved the promot-ing effects of HMGB1 on A549 cells migration and invasion, NF-κB expression and activity as well as αvβ3 expression. Conclusion:HMGB1 promotes A549 cell migration and invasion through activating NF-κB and up-regulating αvβ3.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Many cytokines can be detected in saliva and serum, and have more clinical significance in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of oral mucosa disease. OBJECTIVE: To compare the interferon-γ and interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva of patients with different types of oral lichen planus and to explore the feasibility of saliva samples as a substitute of blood samples to study the interferon-γ and interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva. METHODS:Totaly 45 patients with oral lichen planus admitted at the Department of Periodontology, the Stomatological Hospital of Jiamusi University from January to July 2014 were enroled, including 15 cases of erosion type (erosion group), 15 cases of congestive erythema (congestive erythema group) and 15 cases of reticulate type (reticulate group). Another 15 healthy controls admitted for physical examination at the Department of Physical Examination, the Stomatological Hospital of Jiamusi University were enroled as controls. ELISA method was used to detect the interferon-γ and interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva in the four groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the control group, the interferon-γ levels in serum and saliva were lower in the other three groups (P < 0.01), while there were significant differences in the interferon-γ level among the patients with different types of oral lichen planus (P < 0.01). The interleukin-10 levels in serum and saliva were significantly higher in the erosion group and congestive erythema group than those in the control group (P < 0.01 orP < 0.05) and reticulate groupP < 0.01 orP < 0.05). Experimental findings suggest that the levels of interferon-γ and interleukin-10 in serum and saliva are highly correlated in patients with different types of oral lichen planus, and saliva samples can be instead of blood samples to detect the levels of interferon-γ and interleukin-10 in patients with oral lichen planus.
