Aim To observe the effects of effective fraction of Epimedium,Astragalus,Radix Puerariae on behavioral and pathological changes in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.Methods Six-month-old APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 transgenic mice were ran-domly divided into 2 groups:model group and effective fraction group,1 0 mice each group.The mice in the effective fraction group were treated with the effective fraction of Astragalus,Radix Puerariae,Epimedium compound for 8 weeks.The C57BL/6J mice were used as negative control group.After 8 weeks,the learning and memory function were measured by Morris water maze,the pathological changes in brain tissue were ob-served by Modified Bielschowsky staining and Nissl 's staining.Results During place navigation trial,the escape latency in the APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 double transgenic model mice was longer than those of the mice of C57 (P <0.05),the escape latency in the mice of effec-tive fraction group was significantly reduced than those of the mice in model group (P <0.05).During spatial probe trail,the platform-crossing times in the APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 double transgenic mice were different from the mice of C57 (P <0.05),the platform-crossing times in the mice of effective fraction group were significantly increased than those of the mice in model group (P <0.05).The average swimming velocity in the APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 double transgenic model mice was increased than that of mice of C57 (P <0.05 ),there was no significant difference between effective fraction group and model group (P > 0.05 ). The Modified Bielschowsky staining shows that the neuron fibers of the cerebral cortex of APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 double transgenic mice were enlarged,swelling,and dense.There were senile plaques and nerve fiber tangles in the cerebral cortex of APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 double transgenic mice.The neuron fibers of mice in the effective fraction group were relieved;there was a small amount of senile plaque.The Nissl’s staining shows that the neurons of the cerebral cortex of APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 mice were edema, the number of cells were decreased.The mice in the effective fraction group were free of the disease.Con-clusion The double transgenic APPswe /PS1 ΔE9 mice of AD can simulate the specific pathogenesis of AD, which may be the efficient experimental animal model. The effective fraction of epimedium,astragalus and ra-dix puerariae may have a neuroprotective effect against AD via improving the learning and memory ability,and reduce the cerebral cortex nerve fiber tangles,senile plaques and neurons edema changes.

Objective:To explore whether microRNA (miRNA) -181b-5p inhibits the proliferation and invasion of cutaneous melanoma cells by targeting pleckstrin (PLEK) .Methods:Bioinformatics methods were used to analyze cutaneous melanoma-associated core genes; dual-luciferase reporter assay was performed to verify the targeted interaction between miRNA-181b-5p and PLEK. Oligo RNA and small interfering RNA (siRNA) were used to regulate the expression of miRNA-181b-5p and PLEK in A375 cells respectively in this experiment, and A375 cells were divided into the following groups in detail: mimic negative control group, miRNA-181b-5p mimic group, inhibitor negative control group, miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor group, PLEK siRNA group, siRNA negative control group, miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + control siRNA co-transfection group and miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + PLEK siRNA3 co-transfection group. After 48-hour treatment, qPCR was performed to determine the mRNA expression of miRNA-181b-5p and PLEK in A375 cells, Western blot analysis to determine the PLEK protein expression, and Transwell assay to assess the invasive ability of A375 cells; after additional 24-96 hours of culture, cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was conducted to assess the proliferative ability of A375 cells.Results:PLEK was the core gene for cutaneous melanoma. PLEK expression in the cutaneous melanoma in situ tissues was significantly higher than that in the paracancerous tissues ( P = 0.031) , but lower than that in the metastatic tissues ( P = 0.001) . Compared with human epidermal melanocytes HEMa-LP, the mRNA and protein expression of PLEK significantly increased in A375 cells (mRNA: 3.884 ± 0.156 vs. 0.997 ± 0.010, t = 18.48, P < 0.001; protein: 2.840 ± 0.301 vs. 1.029 ± 0.094, t = 5.47, P = 0.005) , but the miRNA-181b-5p expression significantly decreased in A375 cells (0.333 ± 0.042 vs. 0.967 ± 0.069, t = 7.83, P = 0.001) . Dual-luciferase reporter assay showed targeted binding of miRNA-181b-5p to PLEK. Compared with the mimic negative control group, the miRNA-181b-5p mimic group showed significantly decreased survival rate of A375 cells (48 hours: t = 7.96, P = 0.015; 72 hours: t = 7.50, P = 0.002; 96 hours: t = 7.96, P = 0.001) , and significantly decreased invasive ability of A375 cells ( t = 5.07, P = 0.007) ; on the contrary, the survival rate and invasive ability of A375 cells were significantly higher in the miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor group than in the inhibitor negative control group (survival rate: 24 hours, t =5.38, P = 0.013; 48 hours, t = 5.36, P = 0.013; 72 hours, t =7.63, P = 0.005; 96 hours, t = 5.99, P = 0.004; invasive ability: t = 7.24, P = 0.002) ; compared with the siRNA negative control group, the proliferative and invasive ability of A375 cells significantly decreased in the PLEK siRNA group (proliferative ability: 48, 72, 96 hours, P = 0.015, 0.011, 0.001, respectively; invasive ability: t = 4.93, P = 0.008) ; compared with the miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + control siRNA co-transfection group, the miRNA-181b-5p inhibitor + PLEK siRNA co-transfection group showed significantly decreased proliferation rate and invasive ability of A375 cells (proliferation rate: 24, 48, 72, 96 hours, P = 0.042, 0.042, 0.037, 0.017, respectively; invasive ability: t = 8.52, P = 0.001) . Conclusion:miRNA-181b-5p can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of cutaneous melanoma A375 cells, likely by down-regulating the PLEK expression.

Objective:By establishing the reference intervals of free thyroxine (FT 4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) of pregnant women in different pregnancy in Yangzhou, and analyzing the dynamic trends of each indicator, so as to provide a basis for timely and accurate diagnosis of thyroid disease during pregnancy, and promote prenatal and postnatal care. Methods:Clinical data of 3 726 healthy early (1 747 cases), middle (1 481 cases), and late (498 cases) pregnant women were collected from the Department of Perinatal and Health Care in Yangzhou Women and Children Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University Medical College from October 2017 to October 2018. At the same time, data of 407 non-pregnant women in the same period were collected as normal controls. The levels of serum FT 4, TSH and TPOAb in each stage of pregnancy were detected by Beckman automatic chemiluminescence analyzer. The reference interval was established by using the 95% reference value of the bilateral limit, and the differences of early, middle and late pregnancy were compared. Results:There were significant differences in FT 4 levels between early, middle and late stages of pregnancy ( H = 82.56, P < 0.01), with the early stage higher than the middle stage ( P < 0.01) and the middle stage higher than the late stage( P < 0.01). The difference of TSH levels was statistically significant ( H = 91.27, P < 0.01), in which the early stage was lower than the middle stage ( P < 0.01), and the middle stage was lower than the late stage ( P < 0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in TPOAb levels ( H = 30.36, P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the early stage and the middle stage ( P > 0.05), and the early and middle stages were higher than the late stage ( P < 0.01). The reference intervals of thyroid function index in different pregnancies were, early pregnancy: FT 4 8.28 - 15.66 pmol/L, TSH 0.11 - 4.23 mU/L, TPOAb 0.10 - 16.46 U/ml; middle pregnancy: FT 4 7.38 - 14.36 pmol/L, TSH 0.13 - 4.67 mU/L, TPOAb 0.10 - 18.97 U/ml; and late pregnancy: FT 4 6.33 - 11.39 pmol/L, TSH 0.40 - 3.96 mU/L, TPOAb 0.10 - 6.17 U/ml. Conclusions:There are significant differences in serum thyroid function indicators in different pregnant women. Establishing reference intervals of thyroid function indicators in different stages of pregnancy have important clinical significance for diagnosis of thyroid disease and eugenics.
