High mobility group protein A (HMGA) plays a critical role in the development of a variety of tumors.It's expression level will abnormally increase with the increase of the malignant degrees of astrocytoma and metastasis potential.Let-7 which is a kind of small RNA endogenous coding negatively regulates HMGA genes as a tumor suppressor.The expression of let-7 reduces while HMGA rises in many kinds of tumors was obversed.Therefore,this finding provides new references for the early diagnosis of tumor and also provides new approaches for therapy of tumor.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of E 4031, a sodium calcium exchanger (NCX) agonist, on the isolated cardiac function and resting Ca2+ level in myocardial cells from rats with chronic heart failure.

METHODSRats chronic heart failure model was established by abdominal aorta coarctation with; Isolated heart perfusion by Langendorff apparatus was used to detect heart function and the effects of E 4031 on haemodynamic indexes; Myocardial cells of rats in the model group were extracted quickly and co-incubated with calcium fluorescent indicator fluo3/AM and the impact of E 4031 on the fluorescence intensity in myocardial cells were evaluated by confocal microscopy.

RESULTSHeart function of rats in the model group detected by Langendorff perfusion was significantly reduced after 12 weeks, E 4031 at 10 micromol/L could improve their left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP) and systolic / diastolic maximum rate (+/- dp/dtmax). Compared with the control and sham operation groups, the resting Ca2+ fluorescence intensity of the myocardial cells of rats in model group was at a higher level and went through a process of transient rise and drop, then stably remaining at a low level after co-incubated with 10 micromol/L E 4031.

CONCLUSIONE 4031 can improve the isolated heart function of rats with chronic heart failure, which may be associated with its enhancing the activity of NCX in the myocardial cell membrane and stabilizing intracellular Ca2+ level.

Under the different load of training stimulating, the changes in center nervous system of rat were observed.This experimental training intensities included normal -load and over-load using a swimming pool with circular water flow in order to investigate the effects on the neuron size and the density of dendritic spine of the large pyramidal cells in layer Ⅴ in motor areas of cerebral cortex.This study lead to the following conclusions:the size of nucleus and nucleolus and the density of spines of apical dendrites, insidal dendrites and basal dendrites of large pyramidal cells in layer Ⅴ in motor areas of cerebral cortex of normal-load and over-load group were higher than those of control group.It improve the capacity of brain in information processing.

Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorders,which impacts on patients’quality of life as well as physical and mental health. Studies have shown that visceral hypersensitivity (VHS)is an important pathophysiological factor in the pathogenesis of IBS,and neural regulation plays a key role in the process of VHS. This article reviewed the advances in study on effect of neural regulation pathway on pathogenesis of VHS in IBS.

Objective To evaluate the effects of robot-assisted gait training on the lower limb motor functions of in hemiplegic stroke patients.Methods Forty stroke patients with hemiplegia were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group.Both groups were treated with routine rehabilitation therapies for 60 min daily in 6 weeks.The patients in the treatment group were given robot-assisted gait training for 30 min daily for 6 weeks.The lower limb part of Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) , the Ueda Satoshi standardized hemiplegic function scale and the functional ambulation categories (FAC) were used to evaluate the lower limb motor function before and after the sixweeks of therapies.Results There were no significant difference between the two groups before treatment with regard to all the three assessment measurements.After 6 weeks of treatment, both groups significantly improved in terms of the scores with FMA, the grade of Ueda Satoshi standardized hemiplegic function scale and the FAC (P ＜0.05).But the treatment group had significantly greater improvement than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The robot-assisted gait training can supplement the routine rehabilitation therapies in improving lower limb motor function in stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the three-dimensional spatial relationships of the sphenopalatine foramen ( SPF) , vidian canal ( VC ) , and foramen rotundum ( FR ) with regard to an endoscopic endonasal approach to the pterygopalatine fossa(PPF)using three-dimensional reconstruction of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans. Methods The HRCT scans of 17 patients and a cadaver specimen were retrospectively evaluated .The morphology of the SPF, VC, and FR as well as the spatial relationship between the SPF and VC were measured on the image of three -dimensional CT reconstruction.Results The mean diameters of the SPF, VC, and FR were(6.26 ±1.59)mm,(2.35 ± 0.77)mm and(2.75 ±0.77)mm, respectively.The mean distance between the VC and posteroinferior margin of SPF was (4.03 ±1.15) mm.The mean vertical and horizontal distances on the image of three-dimensional CT reconstruction were between the VC and FR were(4.94 ±1.35)mm and(9.22 ±3.07)mm, respectively.The whole or partial margin of the VC was above the inferior margin of the SPF in 92%(33/36) of the VC and lateral to the posterior margin of the SPF in 97%(35/36) of the VC.Conclusion The endoscopic endonasal approach to the PPF is performed with greater safety through comprehension of the spatial relationships between the SPF , VC, and FR.

Objective To observe the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-1 (VEGFR-1) and VEGFR-2 in hypoxic chorioretinal endothelial cells of monkeys (RF/6A),and to evaluate the effect of minocycline.Methods RF/6A was cultured and divided into four groups:control group,hypoxia group,hypoxia and low dose of minocycline group (0.5 μmol/L),hypoxia and medium dose of minocycline group (5 μmol/L),and hypoxia and high dose of minocycline group (50 μmol/L).Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistopathological staining were used to measure the mRNA and protein expression of VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2,respectively.Results RT-PCR showed that the expression of VEGFR-1 mRNA did not vary significantly between groups (F24 h =0.17,F48 h =1.53,F72 h =2.04; P＞0.05).Compared with hypoxia group,the expression of VEGFR-2 mRNA in all minocycline treated groups were significantly down-regulated (low minocycline,medium minocycline,high minocycline:t=4.69,20.16,17.12; P＜0.001).The immunohistopathological study showed the cells with positive staining of VEGFR-1 can be observed in all groups,and the staining was relatively weak and mainly located in cell membrane and cytoplasm.The optical density value analysis showed that the protein expression of VEGFR-1 did not vary significantly between groups at all time points(F24 h =0.251,F48 h=0.340,F72 h =0.589; P＞0.05).The VEGFR-2 positive staining cells were also observed in all groups,and the staining was relatively high.Brown staining particles of VEGFR-2 were observed in the cell membrane with minor staining particles in cytoplasm.The staining density of VEGFR-2 was significantly higher in hypoxia group than control group.Compared with the hypoxia group,the protein expression of VEGFR 2 in minocycline treated groups was significantly lower (F24 h =19.147,F48 h =14.893,F72 h =11.984; P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of VEGFR-2 is up-regulated in RF/6A,and minocycline somewhat shows an inhibition effect.
