Necrosis is also tightly controlled by signaling path-ways,thus it is called as regulated necrosis,which includes ne-croptosis,ferroptosis,parthanatos and CypD-mediated necrosis. It has been shown that regulated necrosis is closely related to the occurrence,development and prognosis of injury-relevant disea-ses such as myocardial infarction,stroke,neurodegenerative dis-eases.It will be significant for prevention and therapy of injury-relevant diseases to clarify the signal transductions and regulatory mechanisms for the regulated necrosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of alteplase thrombolysis in the treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods 42 patients with acute ischemic stroke were randomly divided into the control group and the study group.1 8 cases in the control group were treated by urokinase thrombolysis, and 24 cases in the study group were treated by alteplase thrombolysis.The clinical efficacy and safety were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the study group(91 .7%)was higher than that of the con-trol group(77.8%),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =9.7,P <0.01 ).Compared with the control group,the total vascular patency rate was higher,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =97.6,P <0.01 ).The NIHSS score was lower in the two groups after treatment(t =1 0.1 58,1 5.962,all P <0.05),and that in the study group was more lower,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(t =1 0.564,P <0.05 ). Conclusion Alteplase thrombolysis in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients,thrombolytic therapy for patients,in the use of drugs within the time window patients can get good clinical curative effect,no more than drug use the most extensive restrictions rarely cause patients with intracranial hemorrhage,and being suitable for populari-zation and application.

In autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura (AITP) specific autoantibodies bind platelet GP via their Fab fragments. Both splenic CD5+ B and CD5- B cells produce platelet glycoprotein-specific antibodies. There is limited number of antigenic determinants, and the GP-specific autoantibodies are derived from a restricted number of B-cell clones in chronic AITP. Blocking co-stimulatory signals could induce platelet-specific T cell anergy. MMF could be used as a second line agent for the treatment of steroid-resistant AITP. Detection of plasma thrombopoietin levels play an important role in the differentiation of thrombocytopenic states caused by platelet destruction or due to bone marrow hypoplasia. Endogenous TPO level is also important on the differential diagnosis of ET and RT. Quinine- or heparin-dependent antibodies could induce thrombocytopenia. PCR-SSP is useful for the genotyping of the platelet-specific alloantigen HPA. Biotinylated platelets have an impaired response to agonists as evidenced by in vitro platelet aggregation tests.

Objective To investigate the effects of different selective attention on the amplitudes of distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) .Methods DPOAE measurements were performed in 30 young adults (60 ears) in no task (baseline) ,visual selective attention and auditory selective attention ,respectively .The suppression of DPOAE amplitudes were observed in different selective attentions .The visual selective attention was to counter the number of letter Q presented on computer screen .The auditory selective attention was to counter the number of 2 .0 kHz toneburst in the insert earphone .Results Visual and auditory selective attention both decreased the DPOAE amplitudes in mid - low frequencies (0 .75 ~ 2 .0 kHz) .The suppression effects of visual selective attention were significant stronger than that of auditory attention in 0 .75 ~ 1 .0 kHz .The suppression amplitudes were 8 .54 ± 4 .76 and 5 .27 ± 2 .32 dB at 0 .75 kHz ,respectively .They were 7 .66 ± 5 .22 and 3 .22 ± 2 .15 dB at 1 .0 kHz ,re‐spectively .There were significant differences between the two selective attentions suppression (P< 0 .05) .Conclu‐sion Visual and auditory selective attention can both decrease the DPOAE amplitudes .The suppression effects of visual selective attention were significant stronger than that of auditory attention .

Necroptosis, or programmed cell death, is a type of cell death with a controllable death signaling pathway and the morphological features similar to necrosis.It is mainly mediated by death receptors or pathogen pattern re-cognition receptors.Among them, tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1)-mediated necroptosis is the most well-studied one.Receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3) are the 2 key kina-ses involved in the formation of complex I & II and necrosome in the process of necroptosis.Phosphoglycerate mutase 5 ( PGAM5) , a member of phosphoglycerate mutase gene family, lacks PGAM activity and possesses the phosphatase activi-ty.PGAM5 is anchored in the mitochondrial membrane and is also called mitochondrial phosphoglycerate mutase 5.It has been shown that PGAM5 involves in the formation of necrosome during necroptosis and it is able to accelerate the fission of mitochondria by dephosphorylation of dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), thus promoting cell necroptosis.

Graduate education is the maln approach to cultivate advanced medical talents. However, the current clinical research ability tralning for postgraduate students is poor. This article discusses about four possible reasons: the misunderstanding of the medical research, system defects of the endowment of scientific research fund, drawbacks of evaluation criteria, and deficiency of grad-uate student curriculum. In order to improve the clinical research ability of medical graduates, this article also discusses the possible solutions: clarifying the understanding, strengthening policy support, im-proving the evaluation methods, and perfecting the tralning course of the clinical medical research.

Mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH2),one of the isoforms of aldehyde dehydrogenase,has multiple enzymatic functions including the activity of dehydrogenase and esterase.The metabolisms of ethanol,amino acids,biogenic amine,vitamin or steroid in the body produce various substances of aldehyde.With the help of co-factor NAD(P)+,ALDH2 can convert aldehydes into corresponding carboxylic acid,which plays a key role in reducing toxic effects of aldehydes on the body.It does not need co-factor when ALDH2 works as esterase.It can convert carboxylic ester or other acids into corresponding carboxylic acids or alcohols.Recently,it has been shown that the decrease of ALDH2 activity exacerbates multiple factors(such as ethanol,ischemia)-induced myocardial injury and accelerates the development of nitroglycerin tolerance.Therefore,the development of specific agonists of ALDH2 may provide a novel approach to the therapy and prevention of heart diseases.

Objective To evaluate the value of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy(~1H-MRS))and diffusion tensor imaging(DTI)in minimal hepatic encephalopathy(MHE).Methods Twenty-nine with cirrhosis(15 cases with MHE diagnosed according to number-connection test A and digital symbol test and 14 age-matched controls underwent ~1H-MRS and DTI examinations.~1H-MRS of left basal ganglia were acquired using STEAM sequences.Peak area of each metabolite,including NAA,Cr,Cho,mIns and Glx and their ratios to Cr were measured,respectively.Fractional anisotropy(FA),mean diffusivity(MD)were calculated in deep gray matter nuclei and mainly white matter regions in both cerebral hemispheres.The MD and FA values from different regions in different groups were compared.Results NAA/Cr and Glx/Cr levels showed no significant difference among the groups(P＞0.05).Ratios of mIns/Cr and Cho/Cr showed no differences in MHE group compared to controls(P＞0.05),whereas were significantly different in MHE and cirrhosis without MHE(P＜0.05).The MD values from different regions had a significant difference among various groups(P＜0.05),and there were no significant changes in FA among the groups(P＞0.05).Significantly increased MD was found in five regions of brain in MHE and only caudate nuclei in cirrhosis without MHE compared to controls.Conclusion Patients with MHE have abnormal metabolite changes in basal ganglia;the increase in MD with no concomitant changes in FA in cirrhosis with MHE that indicates the presence of reversible interstitial brain edema.MRS and DTI may be sensitive tests for detecting MHE.

BACKGROUND:Animal models can be used to study specific scientific problems of intervertebral disc biology.Model of disc degeneration is mainly used to resolve the relevant disease mechanisms and scientific and security issues of the treatment.OBJECTIVE:To summarize currently used experimental animal models of intervertebral disc degeneration study,and to dynamically observe and confirm the pathological process of disc degeneration based on disc imaging,morphology,biomechanics and bi(o)chemicel changes.METHODS:Using "intervertebral disc degeneration,animal models,in vivo,in vitro" in English as the search words,Cochrane Library (No.1 2009),Cochrane Library Database of Controlled Clinical Trials (No.1 2009),MEDLINE from 1990 to March 2009,EMbase from 1990 to March 2009,Current Controlled Trials,and the National Research Register were retrieved.Literature was limited to English language.The disc imaging,morphology,biomechanical end biochemical composition and other indicators,as well as the pathological process of disc degeneration served as the evaluation indices.The articles related to the intervertebral disc cell culture models,the whole disc tissue culture model,mechanical model,injury model,biological model,genetically modified models,spontaneous models were included.The repetitive researches and those unrelated to animal models of intervertebral disc degeneration were excluded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The establishment of a reliable animal model can provide favorable conditions for studying the pathogenesis of intervertebral disc degeneration,at the same time,provides a good experimental vehicle for various researches about the repair treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration.Animal models of intervertebral disc degeneration can be divided into two categories:in vitro models and in vivo models of disc degeneration and repair.The former can be assigned into disc cell culture models and whole disc tissue culture model;the latter is assigned into mechanical models,injury models,biological models,genetically modified models,spontaneous models and so on.The above models are commonly used in the study of the occurring mechanism of disc degeneration,as well as the feasibility and effectiveness of a variety of treatments.However,there is still no generally accepted animal models as an ideal disc degeneration model,various types of models reported have their own advantages and disadvantages.
