Objective To observe dynamically the influence of Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) on the nerve function and expression of bFGF protein and Basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) mRNA after cerebral ischemic reperfusion in rats.Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group,cerebral ischemia group,and IGF-1 treated group.The rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and reperfusion was performed.The evaluation of etiology was performed with mNSS at 12 h,24 h,3 d,7 d after ischemia-reperfusion,expression of bFGF protein was determined with immunohistochemical technique and expression of bFGF mRNA was determined with RT-PCR.Results The ratings of mNSS in IGF-1 treated group((8.67± 1.21),(7.50± 1.52),(4.33± 1.03),(3.67± 1.37)) were lower than those in ischemia group((11.0±1.26),(9.83±1.33),(7.83±1.17),(7.17±1.72) at 12 h,24 h,3 d or7 d after reperfusion(P<0.05).For the IGF-1 treated group,the expression level of bFGF protein was higher than that of the cerebral ischemia group (P<0.05),especially at 12 h after reperfusion (P<0.01).The expression level of bFGF mRNA in the IGF-1 treated group was higher than that of the cerebral ischemia group (P< 0.05),especially at 24h after reperfusion (P< 0.01).Conclusion IGF-1 treatment has a protective effects on cerebral ischemia injury,which may contribute to its action on regulating expression of bFGF protein and bFGF mRNA.

Objective:To investigate the value of radiomics nomogram based on standardized pre-treatment chest enhanced CT in predicting the mutation status of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) for patients with lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on pre-treatment chest enhanced CT images and clinical data of 262 patients from the affiliated hospital of Jining Medical University with pathologically proven primary lung adenocarcinoma who received EGFR gene testing, including EGFR wild type ( n=122) and mutant type ( n=140). The patients were divided into training group ( n=183) and testing group ( n=79) according to a ratio of 7∶3 by stratified sampling method. Standardized pre-processed the images, delineated the ROI and extracted the radiomics features. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was used to reduce the dimension and select key features. The standardized radiomics model, clinical model and the combined model were established by Logistic Regression (LR) machine learning method. Calculated the Rad-score and drew the nomogram. ROC curve and Delong were used to evaluate and compare the predictive performance of different models. Results:23 standardized enhanced CT radiomics features and 4 clinical features were selected. The predictive performance of standardized radiomics model was better than that of non-standardized radiomics model [area under curve (AUC): 0.863 vs. 0.805, t=2.19, P<0.05]. The AUCs of the combined model and standardized radiomics model were higher than that of the clinical model (training group: 0.885, 0.863 vs. 0.774, t=3.57, 2.17, P<0.05; testing group: 0.873, 0.829 vs. 0.763, t=2.19, 2.02, P<0.05). The radiomics nomogram was built based on Rad-score, age, sex, smoking history and BMI. Conclusions:The combined model and standardized radiomics model could effectively predict the mutation status of EGFR gene in lung adenocarcinoma patients before treatment, providing valuable clinical insights.

Objective:To observe any therapeutic effect of combining botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) with rehabilitation training in treating Parkinson′s disease (PD) patients with striatal foot deformity (SFD).Methods:A total of 68 PD patients with SFD were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group. Both groups were given routine medication with pramipexole and dopamine receptor agonists and received lower limb rehabilitation training, including passive activity training, strength training and walking training. The treatment group was additionally injected with BTX-A. Sciatic pain was quantified using a visual analogue scale. The Unified Parkinson′s Disease Rating Scale-lower limb motor lower limb motor function (UPDRS-LLM) scale, the Berg balance scale and the modified Barthel index were applied to test all of the participants before the experiment and on the 7th, 14th and 30th day of the treatment.Results:The average scores of the control group on all of measures at were significantly better than those of the control group at the same time points, and by the 14th and 30th day had improved significantly compared with those before treatment.Conclusion:Supplementing rehabilitation training with BTX-A can significantly improve foot deformity and relieve the muscle tension and spastic pain of PD patients with SFD, promoting the motor functioning of their lower limbs, their balance and their performance in the activities of daily living.

Classical swine fever (CSF), one of OIE-listed diseases, is a highly contagious and economically important disease of pigs. Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is the causative agent of CSF. The capsid (C) protein and the glycoproteins Erns, E1 and E2, are structural components of the virus. E2 is the most immunogenic protein of the CSFV glycoproteins, inducing neutralizing antibodies that provide protection against lethal CSFV challenge. In a previous study, we developed a murine MAb HQ06 against the E2 protein of CSFV. In this study, the variable region genes from HQ06 and constant regions gene of swine antibody are fused and cloned into the eukaryotic expression vectors to establish a cell line which can stably express a chimeric porcinized MAb (cHQ06) against E2 in CHO cell. The purified cHQ06 antibody protein was determined to be successfully generated, which exhibited high reactivity between cHQ06 and the E2 protein of CSFV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting. More importantly, we investigated the neutralizing activity of cHQ06 against CSFV. In conclusion, this study generated cHQ06 for efficient and stable production which can be used against to develop novel diagnostic assays, investigate the structure and function of the E2 protein and generate novel preparations of diagnosis and treatment.
