Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairments in social skills, language, and behavior. It is now clear that autism is not a disease, but a syndrome characterized by phenotypic and genetic complexity. The etiology of autism is still poorly understood. Available evidence from a variety of sources strongly suggests that many genetic disorders are frequently associated with autism for their similar phenotypes. Based on this fact, this review begins by highlighting several principal genetic syndromes consistently associated with autism (fragile X, tuberous sclerosis, Angelman syndrome, Pader-Willi syndrome, Rett syndrome, Down syndrome and Turner syndrome). These genetic disorders include both chromosome disorders and single gene disorders. By comparing the similar phenotype, protein marker and candidate genes, we might make some breakthrough in the mechanism of autism and other genetic disorders.

Currently, about 300 million people worldwide are affected by asthma. Most of these sufferers inhale immunosuppressants (ie corticosteroids) and beta-adrenergic receptor agonists for their asthma treatment. However, about 5%-10% of patients of asthma have poor response to such treatment. Investigation of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factor as a target molecule in the treatment of allergic asthma has been the concern of scholars home and abroad. This paper reviewed inhibitors of kinase signaling pathway and nuclear transcription factors for the treatment of asthma.

miR-205 is differentially expressed in tumor tissues and is closely related to tumorigenesis and tumor metastasis.miR-205 can regulate the biological behaviors of tumor cells such as cell proliferation,differentiation,in situ invasion and distant metastasis by post-transcriptional regulation through binding to targeted genes.Additionally,further research of miR-205 may be helpful for tumor diagnosis,targeted therapy and prognosis.

Chinese Journal of Medical Education Research 2013;(9):956-959
[Objective To evaluate the teaching effects and advantages of problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode based on network in the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Methods 2007 grade intern students in department of obstetrics and gynecology in Beijing Tongren Hospital of Capital Medical University were divided into 2 groups:control group (18 seven-year program and 11 five-year program)and experiment group (17 seven-year program and 10 five-year program). Traditional teaching was conducted in control group:interns and teacher completed teaching ward round several times according to the teaching requirement. PBL based on network was conducted in experiment group:tea-chers asking questions-data collection-learning and discussing-demonstrating and arguing-discussing and summarizing teaching process. Then the effects of different teaching methods were evaluated by clinical practice skill and theoretical test. SSPS13.0 statistical software was used for data analysis and measurement data were expressed as x±s. T test was conducted among groups. Results As for clinical practice skills, scores in PBL group (seven-year program and five-year program )were higher than those of traditional group [seven-year program:(190.47±2.30)vs (87.42±2.93);five-year program:(92.95±2.20)vs (90 . 09 ± 2 . 70 )] . There was no difference between the two groups in scores of theoretical test . In clinical practice skills,scores of general skill and clinic case analysis showed significant differences be-tween PBL group and traditional group. Conclusions PBL tea-ching mode based on network can improve the quality and effectiveness of the clinical practice of obstetrics and gynecology, especially in the social, technical,and knowledge dimension.

Objective To observe the effects of differentially expressed peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor γ (PPAR γ) on cell migration,invasion and proliferation of endometrial cancer cells.Methods Two endometrial cancer cell lines ECC-1 (ER positive) and KLE (ER negative) cells were used in this study.To up or down regulate PPARγ expression,the transient transfection by using PPARγ expression vector (PPARγ expression vector group) and PPARγ small interference RNA (PPARγ siRNA group) were done.The negative control groups were cells transfected by nonsence sequence siRNA (siRNA non sence sequence group) or empty vector (empty vector group).At the same time,cells only added with liposome were used as blank control group.Then,quantitative real time (RT)-PCR and western blot were used to detect PPARγexpression both in mRNA and protein levels.To assess the expression levels of Wnt signaling pathway,western blot was performed to analysis protein levels of β-catenin and C-myc.The effects on cell migration,invasion and proliferation using in vitro transwell migration,invasion assays and cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay were further be examined.Results After transfection for 48 hours,quantitative RT-PCR and western blot showed that PPARγmRNA (5.18 ± 0.99,4.54 ± 0.89) and protein (1.45 ± 0.12,1.30 ± 0.13) expression levels significantly increased and the protein levels of β-catenin (0.44 ± 0.06,0.46 ± 0.04) and C-myc (0.42 ± 0.08,0.30 ± 0.11) decreased in PPAR γ expression vector group,while in PPARγ siRNA group,PPARγ mRNA (0.48 ± 0.08,0.53 ± 0.11) and protein (0.41 ±0.04,0.49 ±0.05) expression levels decreased and the protein levels of 3-catenin (1.18 ±0.12,0.89 ±0.07) and C-myc(0.91 ±0.08,0.77 ±0.12) increased significantly compared with control groups (all P < 0.05).In vitro migration and invasion assay indicated that the migratory and invasive cell numbers of PPARγ expression vector group (ECC-1:129 ± 9,63 ± 12 ; KLE:119 ± 9,68 ± 16) were significantly decreased,while the migratory and invasive cell numbers of were PPARγ siRNA group (ECC-1:201 ± 14,142 ±9 ; KLE:170 ± 11,138 ± 7) increased significantly compared with those in control groups(all P < 0.05).CCK-8 assay showed that A values (0.66 ±0.14,0.78 ±0.06) in PPARγexpression vector group were lower than those in control groups,and in PPARγ siRNA group,A values (1.42 ± 0.16,1.23 ± 0.04) were higher than those in control groups,and there were statistically significant difference among them (all P < 0.05).Conclusion Up-regulated PPARγ gene expression could inhibit endometrial cancer cell migration,invasion and proliferation abilities,and down-regulated PPARγ gene expression could promote endometrial cancer cell migration,invasion and proliferation abilities.

Objective To study the ultrastrueture of 3 types of periodontal cells, including periodontal ligament cells (PDLC), os-teoblast cells (OB) and eementoblast cells (CB). Methods After culturing 3 kinds of periodontal cells - PDLC, OB and CB, we observed them with transmission electron microscope. Results There was rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and lots of microfilaments in the cyto-plasm of CB and PDLC cells. There was rich rough endoplasmic in the cytoplasm of OB cells. Conclusion The main characteristic ultra-structure feature of the bovine CB and PDLC was rich rough endoplasmic reticulum and microfilaments in the cytoplasm. Compared with CB and PDLC, OB contained fewer microfilaments in the cytoplasm.

Objective: To investigate whether periodontitis might adversely affect the outcome of eradication of gastric Helicobacter pylori(Hp) . Methods: Ninety one patients with gastric Helicobacter pylori and periodontitis were enrolled. The patients were treated by medicine therapy, meanwhile 33 of them were treated by initial periodontal therapy. After treatment, the effect of initial periodontal therapy on the eradication of gastric( Hp ) was examined with 13 C urea breath test. The correlation between the gastric eradication rate and periodontitis was analyzed. Results: Four weeks and one year after medicine therapy, the eradication rate was singnificantly lower in the patients with PD≥4 mm than in those with PD

Objective: To investigate whether initial periodontal therapy may affect the presence of oral Helicobacter pylori(Hp), and to compare the genotype of Helicobacter pylori in oral cavity and that in stomach. Methods: 56 patients with gastric Hp and periodontitis were enrolled in this study. PCR was carried out to identify the presence of Hp in the samples before and after initial periodontal therapy(group 1) or medicine therapy(group 2). DNA sequence of PCR products of 5 patients and 1 Hp infected patient's relative was compared and analyzed. Results: Four weeks after medicine therapy, the rate of Hp in oral cavity was singnificantly lower in group 1 than that in group 2 (3.0% vs 26.1%, P
