Objective · To demonstrate the effect of TRIM59 on gliomagenesis and the molecular mechanism.Methods · TRIM59 protein expression in glioma specimens was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining,and in several glioma cell lines by Western blotting and quantative PCR.After TRIM59 was knocked down by shRNAs,cell proliferation,migration,colony formation,and orthotopic xenograft brain tumor development were detected.The signaling pathway of TRIM59 in gliomas was also explored by RNA-Seq and KEGG PATHWAY analyses.Results· The levels of TRIM59 protein expression in clinical glioma specimens were positively correlated with glioma malignancy.TRIM59 was highly expressed in LN229 and U87 glioma cells compared with normal human astrocytes.Knockdown of TRIM59 in these two cell lines with lentivirus-mediated shRNAs inhibited their proliferation,migration,and colony formation.Compared with the control xenograft models,knockdown of TRIM59 significantly inhibited glioma tumor growth.RNASeq and KEGG PATHWAY analyses identified that TRIM59 knockdown down-regulated 306 genes,among which PI3K/AKT signal pathway-related genes were the most.Moreover,TRIM59 knockdown suppressed AKT phosphorylation,whereas overexpression of a constitutively actived AKT (Myr-AKT)rescued TRIM59 knockdown-inhibited cell proliferation.Conclusion· TRIM59 is a new glioma oncogene,which may take effect through activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Objective To study the chemical constituents of Epimedium sutchuenense.Methods The compounds were repeatedly separated and purified on column chromatography of silica gel,polyamide,Sephadex LH-20,and ODS.The structures were identified on the basis of spectral methods.Results Ten compounds were isolated from 70% ethanol extract of E.sutchuenense and were identified as sutchuenoside A(Ⅰ),sutchuenoside B(Ⅱ),daidzein(Ⅲ),baohuoside-Ⅰ(Ⅳ),kaempferide 3-rhamnoside(Ⅴ),icariin(Ⅵ),anhydroicaritin-3-O-?-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→2)-?-L-rhamnopyranoside(Ⅶ),p-hydroxybenzoic acid(Ⅷ),daucosterol(Ⅸ),and ?-sitosterol(Ⅹ),respectively.Conclusion Compounds Ⅰ and Ⅱ are novel ones named as sutchuentins A and B respectively.Compounds Ⅲ,Ⅴ,Ⅶ,and Ⅷ-Ⅹ are isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To study the distribution characteristics of radon progeny at different air quality index (AQI) and evaluate health risks for the exposed population.Methods EQF3120 Monitor was used to monitor the concentration of radon and its daughters.The relevant air quality data was provided by the environmental monitoring station at Suzhou Industrial Park.SPSS 16.0 software was used for statistical description,principal component analysis and simple correlation analysis.Environmental radon exposure-caused effective dose to lung region was estimated by using the radon dose formulas.Results Radon progeny in fog haze weather in winter of Suzhou Industrial Park had relationships with NO2,SO2,O3,PM10 and PM2.5.The correlation coefficient of 214Bi were 0.741,0.681,-0.431,0.597 and 0.675.The correlation coefficient of radon progeny with PM2.5 was greater than that with PM10.When AQI ＞ 200,the effective dose to residents outdoor from radon and its short-lived progeny was 0.63 mSv/a.Conclusions Higher AQI results in higher concentration of attached radon progeny.There is little variation in concentration of unattached radon progeny.Fog and haze can increase exposure of the population to inhalated radon.

Objective:To investigate the status of glucolipid metabolism and insulin resistance in patients with first-episode non-medicated schizophrenia, and to explore their relationship with psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function.Methods:One hundred and seventeen patients with first-episode non-medicated schizophrenia admitted to Wenzhou Seventh People′s Hospital from January 2018 to August 2020 were included in case group, and 61 healthy subjects with physical examination during the same period were used as control group. The glucose metabolism, including serum fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2 h postprandial blood glucose (2 h PBG), fasting insulin (FINS), fasting C peptide; lipid metabolism, including triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) and homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) level were compared between 2 groups. The abnormal glucolipid metabolism and incidence rate of insulin resistance were counted in the two groups. According to the condition of abnormal glucolipid metabolism or insulin resistance in case group, the patients were divided into abnormal glucolipid metabolism group and non-abnormal group, and insulin resistance group and non-insulin resistance group. The psychiatric symptoms (positive and negative symptom scale, PANSS) and cognitive function (MATRICS consensus cognitive battery, MCCB) were compared between 2 groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between glucolipid metabolism and insulin resistance and psychiatric symptoms and cognitive function in case group.Results:The levels of glucolipid metabolism indexes of 2 h PBG, FINS, fasting C peptide, TG and HOMA-IR in case group were significantly higher than those in control group: (7.06 ± 1.88) mmol/L vs. (6.19 ± 1.53) mmol/L, (8.61 ± 2.46) mU/L vs. (6.25 ± 1.71) mU/L, (0.49 ± 0.16) nmol/L vs. (0.32 ± 0.09) nmol/L, (1.33 ± 0.47) mmol/L vs. (1.02 ± 0.24) mmol/L, 2.01 ± 0.71 vs. 1.51 ± 0.45 ( P<0.05); while the levels of HDL-C and Apo-A1 were significantly lower than those in control group: (1.19 ± 0.38) mmol/L vs. (1.57 ± 0.32) mmol/L, (1.21 ± 0.25) g/L vs. (1.43 ± 0.17) g/L ( P<0.05). The total incidence rate of abnormal glucolipid metabolism or insulin resistance in case group was significantly higher than that in control group: 62.39%(73/117) vs. 13.11%(8/61) ( P<0.05). The scores of dimensions of positive symptoms, negative symptoms and general psychopathology and total score of PANSS in combined group were significantly higher than those in non-abnormal group: (25.14 ± 5.09) scores vs. (22.95 ± 4.72) scores, (24.68 ± 5.25) scores vs. (22.05 ± 4.59) scores, (41.52 ± 5.85) scores vs. (38.12 ± 4.18) scores, (94.68 ± 11.64) scores vs. (85.43 ± 8.51) scores ( P<0.05). The above scores points in insulin resistance group were higher than points in non-insulin resistance group: (26.62 ± 4.18) scores vs. (23.62 ± 4.98) scores, (25.92 ± 5.07) scores vs. (23.02 ± 4.96) scores, (42.94 ± 5.26) scores vs. (39.43 ± 4.47) scores, (97.35 ± 10.07) scores vs. (89.37 ± 10.25) scores ( P<0.05). The scores of continuous performance test-identical pairs (CPT-IP), working memory (WM), brief visuospatial memory test-revised (BVMT-R) and Mayer-Salovey-Caruso emotional intelligence test (MSCEIT) of MCCB scale in abnormal glucolipid metabolism group were significantly lower than those in non-abnormal group: (23.82 ± 5.21) scores vs. (27.15 ± 4.69) scores, (21.72 ± 5.95) scores vs. (25.35 ± 5.14) scores, (19.56 ± 5.28) scores vs. (22.34 ± 5.43) scores, (22.62 ± 5.13) scores vs. (26.47 ± 4.96) scores ( P<0.05), and the scores in insulin resistance group were significantly lower: (22.26 ± 4.84) scores vs. (25.42 ± 5.12) scores, (20.35 ± 4.87) scores vs. (23.46 ± 5.08) scores, (18.05 ± 4.27) scores vs. (20.98 ± 5.71) scores, (21.15 ± 4.67) scores vs. (24.48 ± 5.02) scores ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that 2 h PBG in case group was positively correlated with PANSS positive symptoms ( P<0.05), and was negatively correlated with CPT-IP and MSCEIT in MCCB scale ( P<0.05). FINS and HOMA-IR were positively correlated with positive symptoms, negative symptoms and PANSS total score ( P<0.05), and were negatively correlated with CPT-IP, WM, BVMT-R and MSCEIT ( P<0.05). HDL-C was negatively correlated with positive symptoms ( P<0.05), and was positively correlated with CPT-IP, WM and MSCEIT ( P<0.05). Apo-A1 was negatively correlated with positive symptoms and negative symptoms ( P<0.05), and was positively correlated with CPT-IP and WM ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Abnormal glucolipid metabolism and insulin resistance have a higher detection rate in first-episode non-medicated schizophrenia, and have a certain relationship with the psychiatric symptoms and cognitive impairment of patients.

BACKGROUND: Studies have found that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans degradation with chondroitinase canpromote the migration of Müller cells on the retina, but whether it could promote the migration of adipose-derivedmesenchymal stem cells in retinal degeneration rats is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans degradation with chondroitinase on adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell treatment for retinal degeneration in rats.METHODS: Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured. A retinal degeneration ratmodel was established followed by administration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells+chondroitinase into thesubretinal space. The migration of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and retinal cell apoptosis in rats aftertransplantation were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells could be successfully cultured.The labeling rate of BrdU to the human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells was more than 90.0%. At 7 days aftermodeling, the outer nuclear layer of the retina was collapsed, and a large amount of photoreceptor cells were dissected.The outer nuclear layer was attached to the Bruch''s membrane, and the retina was arched. The central retina andperipheral retina were damaged. In normal rats, the retinal layers were clear, and the photoreceptor cells arrangedregularly; and the retinal pigment epithelium was complete. The migration rate of adipose-derived mesenchymal stemcells in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells+chondroitinase group was higher than that in adipose-derivedmesenchymal stem cells group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the apoptotic rate of retinal cellsbetween the two groups (P > 0.05). These experimental findings show that chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans degradationwith chondroitinase can enhance the migration ability of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells on the retina.

Objective To evaluate MR diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)and MR perfusion-weighted imaging(PWI) in differentiating benign from malignant soft tissue tumors by comparing the related parameters. Methods Fifty patients with soft tissue tumors verified by pathology( benign 24, malignant 26) underwent DWI and dynamic contrast-enhanced T2 * -weighted PWI. DWI and PWI data of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors were acquired at the workstation and their difference was analyzed with t-test. The diagnostic accordance rate was verified with x2-test. Subjective overall performance of two techniques were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results ADC values of benign and malignant tumors were (2. 03±0. 36) × 10-3 mm2/s, ( 1.52±0. 39) × 10-3 mm2/s,respectively. The signal intensity decrease of them during the first-pass perfusion (SIdecrease ) were ( 13.54 ± 3.37 )%, (47. 57 ± 5. 21 ) % ,respectively. The maximum linearity slope rate of TIC ( SSmax ) of them were ( 5.51 ± 2. 54 ) %, (7.94 ± 3. 33) %, respectively. There were significant differences between benign and malignant tumors of ADC value and SIdecrease ( t = 2. 515,2. 938 ;P < 0. 05 ), while there was no significant difference in SSmax (t = 1. 272,P >0. 05). When the threshold of ADC value was 1. 866 × mm2/s, sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 84. 6% (22/26)and 83.3% (20/24). When the threshold of SIdecrease was 40. 33% ,sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 88. 5% (23/26)and 75.0% (18/24). In type Ⅰa of TIC,the proportion of benign soft tissue tumor was 3/24 and malignant tumor was 20/26. In type Ⅰb , benign tumor was 14/24 and malignant tumor was 3/26. In type Ⅰc, malignant tumor was 3/26. In type Ⅱ ,benign tumor was 7/24. The diagnostic accordance rate of DWI and PWI were 84. 0% (42/50) and 82. 0% (41/50), respectively. There was no significant difference between them ( x2 = 0. 8, P >0. 05). The accuracies of them were 81.7% , 83. 6% respectively by the area under the ROC curve (AUC). The sensitivity of PWI in diagnosing malignant soft tissue tumors was higher. Conclusions ADC value and SIdecrease are Valllable diagnostic parameters in differentiating benign and malignant soft tissue tumors. The threshold of these parameters for diagnosing malignant soft tissue tumors are 1. 866 × 10-3 mm2/s and 40. 33%, respectively. The type of TIC can help to distinguish malignant tumors from benign tumors, while the SSmax can not. The accuracies of DWI and PWI in the diagnosis of malignant soft tissue tumors are moderate. Compared with DWI, PWI should be selected firstly because of its higher sensitivity in diagnosing malignant tumors.

Objective To evaluate multiple magnetic resonance (MR) imaging techniques in the differentiation of benign and malignant soft tissue tumors by comparing different information from MR perfusion-weighted Imaging (MR-PWI) and 1 HMR spectroscopy (1 H-MRS).Methods Forty patients with soft tissue tumors underwent conventional MR imaging,dynamic contrast-enhanced T2*-weighted MR-PWI and 1 H proton MR spectroscopy.The differences of perfusion and 1 H-MRS parameters of benign and malignant tumors were analyzed with t test.Results There was significant difference between benign and malignant tumoral tissues of BF value and Cho/Cr ratio(t=2.531,2.927,P < 0.05),while BV,MTT,Cho,Cr or Lip peak value were not.TIC was different between benign group (Ib) and malignant group (Ia).When the threshold value of BF was 4.35 ml ·100 mg-1·min-1,sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 81.8%(18/22),72.2%(13/18),respectively.When the threshold value of Cho/Cr ratio was 3.22,Sensitivity and specificity for determining malignant tumors were 86.4% (19/22),88.9% (16/18),respectively.The abnormal wave crest is detected at 2.0-2.1ppm in 5 malignant tumors (2 malignant schwannoma and 3 malignant fibrous histiocytoma),while the other 35 cases were not.Conclusion The BF value and Cho/Cr ratio were both valuable diagnostic parameters in differentiating benign and malignant soft tissue tumors.TIC was helpful to distinguish malignant tumors from benign tumors,while the sensitivity and specificity of 1 H-MRS in diagnosing malignant soft tissue tumors were both higher.
