The plasmid pXJ-41-p15, which contains the full length DNA coding for p15 was introduced into human melanoma cell line A375 in which p 15 was deleted by DNA recombination and transfection. Using G418, the positive clones were selected. And the cell model overexpressing p15 was constructed suc cessfully through the analysis of PCR and Western blot. It is showed tha t the expression of p15 was further enhanced after the cells overexpressing p15 were treated with PMA for 72 hours. In contrast of the control cells, the PKC a ctivity was further declined in the cells overexpressing p15 after treated with PMA. At the same time, the growth rate of cell was decreased more significantly and approximate 30% apoptotic cells were found. The expression of Caspase-3(P2 0) was increased in the apoptotic cells. It is indicated that CKI p15 was relat ed to PKC signal transduction in the regulation of cell proliferation and apopto sis. They may be involved in the apoptotic pathway including Caspase3, thus indu cing the apoptosis of cells.

Purpose:To discuss the MRI features and differential diagnosis of hemangioblastomas in the central nervous system.Materials and Methods: The MRI features of 22 patients with hemangioblastomas confirmed histopathologically were analyzed retrospectively.Results: In this group there were 50 lesions in 22 patients.Multiple lesions were revealed in 5 cases.The lesions located in the cerebellar hemisphere and vermis ( n = 40),medulla oblongata and spinal cord ( n.= 9 ),cerebral hemisphere ( n = 1).Among the 50 lesions,12 appeared as a large cyst with mural nodule,36 as a solid mass,2 as a simple cyst.Of large cyst with mural nodule lesions,the content of the cyst was hy-pointense signal on T1WI,and hyperintense signal on T2WI.The mural nodules were slightly hypointense signal or isointense signal on Tl WI,and hyperintense signal on T2WI.The solid masses were isointense signal on Tl WI,slightly hyperintense signal and hyperintense signal on T2WI.On contrast enhanced scans,all mural nodules and solid tumors were showed marked homogeneous enhancement.On PWI the mural nodules and solid tumors were demonstrated marked hyperperfusion.Conclusion:Hemangioblastomas have distinctive manifestation,MRI enhanced scans and PWI play an important role in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of hemangioblastomas.

Objective To compare the effect of virtual reality (VR) based balance training and routine balance training on static and dynamic balance function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 20 stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into experimental group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Both groups received routine neurology medication and rehabilitation training. The experimental group received balance training based on 3 VR games: City Ride, The Boat and Road Encounter, while the control group received routine balance training. They were assessed with Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), and their postural stability and limits of stability were measured with STABLE system before and 4 weeks after training. Results The scores of BBS and TUGT improved in both groups after training (P<0.001), and improved more in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.001), as well as some of the parameters of postural stability and limits of stability (P<0.05). Conclusion Balance training based on VR is more effective than routine balance training on the static and dynamic balance function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Tumor vaccine is one of the most promising therapeutic strategies in tumor immunotherapy. It promotes the antigen presentation process by delivering tumor antigen and then activates the anti-tumor immune response. As a new class of vaccines, messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines can activate the immune system to achieve the purpose of immunotherapy by delivering the mRNA sequence of a specific antigen into the body and expressing the corresponding antigen protein. Compared with traditional vaccines, mRNA vaccines have the advantages of a short production cycle, high effectiveness, and strong immunogenicity. In recent years, the application of mRNA vaccines in tumor immunotherapy has attracted widespread attention, but the instability and low delivery efficiency of mRNA limit its application. Nano delivery system can effectively solve the problem of mRNA vaccine delivery, greatly promote the research process and clinical application of mRNA tumor vaccines, and has become a hot spot in the research of mRNA vaccines. In this review, we introduced the mRNA tumor vaccines, focusing on the application of nano delivery system in mRNA tumor vaccines, in order to provide new ideas and new methods for the efficient delivery of mRNA tumor vaccines and tumor immunotherapy.
