1.Origin, existence form, and function of circulating microRNAs associated with cardiovascular disease
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2015;28(10):1091-1094
MicroRNAs ( miRNAs) play an important role in regulating various life activities .It has been confirmed that circulat-ing miRNAs are new biomarkers for the diagnosis of many diseases and closely related with their occurrence and progression .In recent years, miRNAs are found to exist stably in blood and other body fluids in forms of being encapsulated in microvesicle or binding with proteins.Their origins, existence forms and functions have become a hotspot of research in this field .This article reviews the recent studies on the origin , existence form and function of circulating miRNAs associated with cardiovascular disease , aiming to provide some evidence for miRNAs as the biomarker and target of cardiovascular disease .

Objective To study the clinical application of posterior approach microendoscopy in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods One hundred and forty-two cases of degenerate lumbar spinal stenosis were treated by posterior approach limited decompression, total or semi laminectomy and decompression, or fenestration decompression from February 2000 to December 2001. Results Out of the 142 cases, posterior approach microendoscopic limited decompression was completed in 87 cases with full decompression obtained.Follow-up for a mean of 18 months in 82 cases revealed a rate of excellent-and-good of 92.7% (58 cases, excellent; 18 cases, good).No complications occurred. Conclusions Degenerate lumbar spinal stenosis, resulted from simple lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, hypertrophy of ligamentum flavumcan, and facet hypertrophy, can be effectively treated by posterior approach microendoscopic limited decompression. Proper selection of patients, full decompression and experienced operative skills are the key to satisfactory surgical results.

Objective To analyze inhibitions and working memory impairments in children with different subtypes of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with saccade tasks. Methods Participants,aged 10~ 13 years with ADHD-combined ( n= 19) ,ADHD-inattentive ( n= 11 ) and control subjects ( n= 18) ,were selected according to DSM-Ⅳ diagnosis,Conners teacher rating scale and parent symptom questionnaire from 1500pupils from 2 primary schools in Jinhua city by stratified cluster sampling method. Participants performed 3 different saccade tasks: 1 prosaccade and 2 antisaccades executed in a single-task and a dual-task situation. One of the antisaccade tasks was performed under the verbal secondary task condition to investigate verbal working memory.Saccades were registered by Eyelink Ⅱ Tracker. Errors and correct rate were analyzed. One-way ANOVA and repeated measures ANOVA were used to analyze the data. Results (1) Each group showed more response suppression errors on antisaccade task without load than on prosaccade task, ADHD-combined and ADHD-inattentive exhibited more errors than non-ADHD (P<0.01) ,and errors was lower in ADHD-inattentive than in ADHD-combined ( ( 70.90 ± 15.78 ) % vs ( 84.04 ± 12.84 ) %, P < 0.05 ). (2) The interactions between group and load were not significant in error rate on antisaccade tasks (P > 0.05 ), but in correct rate (P < 0. 05 ). The two subtypes of ADHD were affected more than non-ADHD, their correct rates tended to decrease under verbal working memory load. Conclusion An integrative view of deficits in inhibition and verbal working memory in two subtypes of ADHD is proposed, and ADHD-inattentive has a better response suppression than ADHD-combined.

BACKGROUND:It is necessary to carry out multiple operations to remove the scar in patients with large area of scar, and whether the scar tissue can be recycled has become the focus of the study. OBJECTIVE:To compare the tissue structure, biomechanical properties and biocompatibility of the acel ular dermal matrix of mature scar tissue and normal skin. METHODS:The acel ular dermal matrix was prepared from the human mature scar tissue and the normal skin around the scar. Subsequently, histological and scanning electron microscope observations were performed, and biomechanical properties were detected using universal tensile testing machine. Then, the acel ular dermal matrix from mature scar tissue and normal skin was co-cultured with fibroblasts for 10 days, respectively, and the cel growth curve was drawn. Additional y, the acel ular dermal matrix from mature scar tissue and normal skin was subcutaneously implanted into the dorsal tissue of Sprague-Dawley rats, respectively and histological observation was conducted at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after implantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were many gaps but no cel ular components in the acel ular dermal matrix, in both two groups. Col agen fibers of the acel ular dermal matrix derived from mature scar were looser than that of the normal skin, and arranged slightly irregularly;the biomechanical properties of the acel ular dermal matrix derived from mature scar were similar to that of the normal skin, which exhibited appropriate flexibility and strength. There was no significant difference in the growth state of the two kinds of acel ular dermal matrix, and the growth curve was basical y consistent. After 4 weeks of implantation, more inflammatory cel s infiltration could be found in the mature scar group, and in contrast, only a few inflammatory cel s infiltration appeared in the normal skin group, These inflammatory reactions disappeared with time in both two groups. Besides, col agen fibers arranged in neat, and smal vessels grew into the implants in both two groups. In conclusion, the tissue structure, biomechanical properties and biocompatibility of the acel ular dermal matrix derived from scar tissue are almost consistent with those of the human normal skin.

Objective: We have studied the role of lymphoproliferative tumors in the pathogenesis of autoimmune and the origin of the autoantibodies in paraneoplastic pemphigus (PNP) in recent years. A Castleman’s tumor from a patient was identified to produce autoantibody. To identify the relationship between the tumor and pathogenesis of the disease, we analyzed the rearrangement of immunoglobulin variable region gene and its hypermutation in B cells of Castleman’s tumor from a patient who was diagnosed of paraneoplastic pemphigus. Methods: The surface-markers of cultured tumor lymphocytes were assessed with immunochemistry staining. After total RNA of the tumor cells were isolated, the mRNA was reversely transcribed into cDNA. V H and V L genes were cloned and their sequences were analyzed. Results: Immunochemistry staining and flow cytometer analysis showed that the tumor cells were CD20, HLA-DR, smIgM, and smIgG positive. The cloned IgV H and IGHV3-9*01 germ-line gene are homologous and so are the Ig V L and the IGKV4-1*01 germ-line gene. More nucleotide changes in the V H or V L occurred in CDRs than those in FRs. Conclusion: In this reported case, a clone of specific B-lymphocyte in the Castleman’s tumor carrying functional rearranged immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes was found to have experienced switch recombination and was possible to produce IgG autoantibody.
