Chinese Journal of Dermatology 2003;0(11):-
Objective To report the first case of ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome in China. Methods The clinical data, transmission electron microscopic examination and immunohistochemical analysis of this patient were evaluated. Results The patient was a 3-year-old girl who presented increased skin fragility with trauma-induced, blisters and erosions, combined with short and sparse hair, finger-and toe-nail dystrophy and palmoplantar keratoderma. Transmission electron microscopy showed a loss of keratinocyte-keratinocyte adhesion, widening of intercellular spaces and a reduced number of hypoplastic desmosomes. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed a complete absence of staining for plakophilin 1. Conclusion Ectodermal dysplasia/skin fragility syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease characterized by clinical manifestations as well as electron microscopic features and immunohistochemical evidence.

3.Advances in functions of calmodulin in Alzheimer's disease
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2017;36(3):340-343
Calmodulin,as an important signaling regulatory protein,widely exists in eukaryotic cells and participates in a variety of physiological activities.Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a typical neurodegenerative diseasemostly affecting the old people.Senile plaques (SP) caused by amyloid protein deposition and neurofibrillary tangles (NTF) caused by over-phosphorylation of Tau protein in the brain are the two major neuropathological hallmarks of AD.Neuronal apoptosis induced by dysregulation of calcium homeostasis also plays a significant role during this pathological process.Recent studies have found that calcium and its downstream receptor,calmodulin,are closely associated with the pathogenesis and progress of Alzheimer's disease.This article reviews the current development and the latest research progress on the effects of calmodulin on β-amyloid protein generation and deposition,neurofibrillary tangle formation,synaptic plasticity in AD around the world,comprehensively discusses the role of calmodulin in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cellcontent is less under normal conditions, and easily confounded with other cells. Therefore, to establish a simple feasible in vitro cultured amplification method and to obtain a large number of stable bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells are of important theoretical significance and application value. OBJECTIVE:To establish a simple feasible in vitro culture and amplification method and to obtain numerous stable bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and cultured in vitro using density gradient centrifugation and adherence separation screening. cellmorphological changes were observed under an inverted light microscope. Submicroscopic structure of cells was observed under a transmission electron microscope. Living cellnumber was counted using Trypan blue exclusion method. cellgrowth curve was drawn. cellcycle was analyzed using flow cytometry. The expression of c-kit and CD45 was measured using immunocytochemistry. CD45 expression was analyzed using flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) celladhesion and pseudopodia could be seen under an inverted light microscope at 24 hours after inoculation;cellcolony formed at 4 days;90%cellconfluence was found at 14 days. After passage, the cells were tended to homogenous and became fibroblast-like cells, which showed whirl-like growing or flamboyancy growing. (2) The size of passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was smal and nucleolus was large, with clear nucleoli under a transmission electron microscope, with the presence of sparse chromatin and low electron density. There was microvil us on the surface of cells, abundant ribosomes could be seen in the cytoplasm with few other cellular organs such as endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria and Golgi complex. These showed that ultrastructural structure had undifferentiated features. (3) The number of passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was reduced at 1 day after inoculation. The cells began to grow at 2 days, and entered the period of exponential growth at 3 days, entered the flat period at 7 days and the number of cells began to decrease at 9 days. Growth curve exhibited“S”shape. (4) The percentage of S phase cells was 21.1%as detected by flow cytometry after passage 3 bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were stained by DNA. (5) Immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry had proved that the c-kit positive rate of cells was 53.3%and CD45 positive rate was 1.68%. (6) After osteogenic induction of mesenchymal stem cells for 16 days, cells became oval, and short processes connected each other. The cytoplasm was dark, suggesting that it may be rich in rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi complex. They can secrete osteoid. Results verified that obtained bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells stably grew, and actively proliferated.

BACKGROUND:With the consumption of acidic beverages, dental erosion becomes more serious. Erosion is related to direct loss of dental hard tissue, and causes dental over-abrasion, thus great threatening the dental health.
OBJECTIVE:To review the research work on the erosion of human teeth, erosion prevention, and teeth remineralization.
METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval of CNKI, Elsevier and Wiley databases between 1990 and 2013 was performed for articles abut human teeth erosion, erosion prevention and teeth remineralization. After repeated or old literatures were excluded, 58 literatures were included in the analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Current studies on dental erosion included three aspects, firstly, clinical observation of the symptoms and cause of dental erosion;secondly, the erosiveness of common acidic agents;and thirdly, the prevention of dental erosion. Many researchers focused on the prevention of dental erosion. It was suggested that dental erosion could be prevented through adjusting and control ing oral environment, enhancing the erosiveness of acidic beverages, and increasing the anti-erosion capacity of teeth. It should be noted that tooth erosion and friction/wear often occur simultaneously in the mouth. Therefore, future research should pay attention to the interaction mechanism of erosion, friction and wear of human teeth.

Objective Our aim was to investigate the association between sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL)and mean platelet volume (MPV)values,in order to evaluate the etiology of SSHL.Methods This study included 40 patients with SSHL in our ward between Jan.2012 and Jan.2014 and 30 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects were included as controls.The correlation among the levels of the number of platelets,mean plate-let volume(MPV),platelet distribution width (PDW)was evaluated in the two groups.ResuIts The platelet count was significantly lower in the SSHL than the control group(212.0±47.9 versus 237.8±46.2 ×109/L).MPV and PDW were significantly higher in SSHL(10.9±0.8 versus 10.3±0.8 fL;12.9%±2.0% versus 12.0%±1.3 %). The SSHL patients were divided two subgroups:the mild-moderate subgroup (hearing loss 25~70 dB)and the se-vere subgroup(hearing loss≥70 dB).The MPV values were insignificantly different between the two subgroups(11. 0±1.1 fL versus 10.8 ±1.0 fL).Compared to the control group,the two subgroups had both significant differ-ences in MPV.ConcIusion High MPV values are a risk factor for thrombotic vascular diseases.Considering the in-creased MPV levels,SSHL appears to be characterized by ischaemic or thrombotic events.
