BACKGROUND:Schwann cells are important celllines in the process of repairing peripheral nerve injury, and human amniotic homogenate supernatant is shown to secrete a variety of cytokines, which could promote the proliferation of Schwann cells.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of different concentrations of human amniotic homogenate supernatant on the proliferation of rat Schwann cell96.
METHODS:Schwann cell96 was cultured with high-glucose DMEM containing 20%fetal bovine serum, and the second generation of Schwann cell96 was applied for experiments. The cultured cells were divided into five groups according to different volume fractions of human amniotic homogenate supernatant (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%) in the medium.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total protein concentration of human amniotic homogenate supernatant was 675μg/mL, in which the concentration of epidermal growth factor, basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor were respectively (470.625±2.546), (4.121±0.026) and (0.172±0.002) ng/L. At 1-7 days, the cellproliferation rate of the 10%and 15%concentration groups was greater than that in 20%and 25%concentration groups (P<0.05);10%and 15%concentrations promoted cellproliferation, while 20%and 25%concentrations inhibited cellproliferation. There were no significant difference in the viability of Schwann cell96 between the control group and the experimental group (P>0.05). Low concentrations (10%, 15%) of human amniotic homogenate supernatant promote the proliferation of Schwann cell96, while high concentrations (20%, 25%) of human amniotic homogenate supernatant inhibit cellproliferation.

According to inclusion and exclusion criteria, the literatures were selected and the data were extracted; Stata15.1 software was used for Meta analysis of the literatures. Results:About the associations between rs4977574 polymorphism of ANRIL gene and risk of ischemic stroke, a total of 7 articles were chosen, including 12 553 patients in the case group and 15 547 patients in the control group; about the associations between rs1537378 polymorphism of ANRIL gene and risk of ischemic stroke, a total of 6 articles were chosen, including 6166 patients in case group and 6129 patients in control group. The results of Meta analysis indicated that rs4977574 polymorphism had a significant association with ischemic stroke susceptibility under 5 genetic models: allele model [G vs. A]: OR=1.110, 95%CI: 1.020-1.210, P=0.010; dominance model ([GG+GA] v s. AA): OR=1.170, 95%CI: 1.070-1.280, P=0.001; recessive model (GG vs. [GA+AA]): OR=1.160, 95%CI: 1.050-1.280, P=0.020; homozygote model (GG vs. AA): OR=1.260, 95%CI: 1.130-1.420, P=0.000; heterozygote model (GA vs. AA): OR=1.130, 95%CI: 1.030-1.240, P=0.010. The rs1537378 polymorphism was associated with reduced risk of ischemic stroke under 5 genetic models: allele model (T vs. C): OR=0.800, 95%CI: 0.700-0.920, P=0.001; dominance model ([TT+TC] vs. CC): OR=0.790, 95%CI: 0.680-0.920, P=0.002; recessive model (TT vs. [TC+CC]): OR=0.830, 95%CI: 0.740-0.930, P=0.001; homozygote model (TT vs. CC): OR=0.780, 95%CI: 0.690-0.880, P=0.000; heterozygote model (TC vs. CC): OR=0.870, 95%CI: 0.810-0.940, P=0.001. Conclusions:The rs4977574 polymorphism in ANRIL gene is a susceptibility factor for ischemic stroke, and allele G of this locus can significantly increase the risk of ischemic stroke. The rs1537378 polymorphism in ANRIL gene is a protective factor for ischemic stroke, and carrying this allele T can reduce the risk of ischemic stroke.

Epilepsy is a recurrent, transient seizure disorder of the nervous system that affects the intellectual development, life and work, and psychological health of patients. People with epilepsy worldwide experience great suffering. Stressful stimuli such as infection, mental stress, and sleep deprivation are important triggers of epilepsy, and chronic stressful stimuli can lead to frequent seizures and comorbidities. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is the most important system involved in the body’s stress response, and dysfunction thereof is thought to be associated with core epilepsy symptoms and related psychopathology. This article explores the intrinsic relationships of corticotropin-releasing hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, and glucocorticoids with epilepsy in order to reveal the role of the HPA axis in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. We hope that this information will yield future possible directions and ideas for fully understanding the pathogenesis of epilepsy and developing antiepileptic drugs.

Objective:To investigate the value of the 940 nm laser combined with propranolol to treat the infantile hemangioma with supplying vessels.Methods:From December 2017 to December 2018, when oral propranolol was ineffective, the color Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging were performed on 22 infants with hemangioma in the Department of Plastic Surgery of Hebei Children’s Hospital. There were 7 males and 15 females, aged from 4 to 35 months, with an average age of 13.1 months. In 21 cases of hemangioma with clear supplying vessels under digital subtraction angiography, the patients were treated with the 940 nm semiconductor laser occlusion treatment and postoperative oral propranolol therapy. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to measure the tumor size and detect blood flow signal to determine the regression of hemangioma.Results:Among the 21 cases, 19 cases gradually subsided after one 940 nm semiconductor laser occlusion treatment, with an effective rate of 90.5%. Another two cases subsided after two occlusion treatments.Conclusions:The effect of propranolol in treating infantile hemangioma with supplying vessels is often poorly effective. Using the 940 nm semiconductor laser to block the supplying vessel can promote the regression of hemangioma effectively.

KDM5B is a histone H3K4me2/3 demethylase. The PHD1 domain of KDM5B is critical for demethylation, but the mechanism underlying the action of this domain is unclear. In this paper, we observed that PHD1KDM5B interacts with unmethylated H3K4me0. Our NMR structure of PHD1KDM5B in complex with H3K4me0 revealed that the binding mode is slightly different from that of other reported PHD fingers. The disruption of this interaction by double mutations on the residues in the interface (L325A/D328A) decreases the H3K4me2/3 demethylation activity of KDM5B in cells by approximately 50% and increases the transcriptional repression of tumor suppressor genes by approximately twofold. These findings imply that PHD1KDM5B may help maintain KDM5B at target genes to mediate the demethylation activities of KDM5B.
