Objective :
To investigate the effect of aluminum exposure on expression of miR-497-5p, wingless murine breast cancer virus integration site family member 3a (Wnt3a), β-catenin protein, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) protein and tau protein in rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, so as to provide insight into unraveling the mechanisms underlying aluminum exposure-induced abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein.
Methods:
PC12 cells were exposed to Al(mal)3 at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 400 μmol/L for 24 h. The viability of PC12 cells was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The relative expression of miR-497-5p and Wnt3a was detected using a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay, and the expression of Wnt3a, β-catenin, GSK-3β, P-GSK-3β (Ser9), tau and p-tau (Ser396) proteins were determined using Western blotting.
Results :
The viability of PC12 cells appeared a tendency towards a decline with the increase of aluminum dose (Ftrend=323.473, P=0.001). RT-qPCR assay detected that the relative miR-497-5p expression appeared a tendency towards a rise with the increase of aluminum dose (Ftrend=14.888, P=0.031), and the relative Wnt3a expression appeared a tendency towards a decline with the increase of aluminum dose (Ftrend=165.934, P<0.001). The miR-497-5p expression negatively correlated with the relative Wnt3a expression (r=-0.693, P=0.012). The expression of Wnt3a (Ftrend=357.656, P=0.001), β-catenin (Ftrend=208.750, P=0.001) and p-GSK-3β (Ser9) proteins (Ftrend=512.583, P<0.001) appeared a tendency towards a decline with the increase of aluminum dose, and the expression of GSK-3β (Ftrend=39.965, P<0.001), tau (Ftrend=277.929, P=0.006) and p-tau (Ser396) proteins (Ftrend=96.247, P=0.002) appeared a tendency towards a rise with the increase of aluminum dose.
Conclusion
Up-regulation of miR-497-5p and GSK-3β expression and down-regulation of Wnt3a and β-catenin expression may be a mechanism underlying aluminum exposure-induced abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein.

Objective: To quantitatively study the incidental extra-cardiac ifndings (ECFs) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) in order to better recognize those lesions in clinical practice.
Methods: A total of 1169 suspected CAD patients received CCTA in our hospital from 2011-06 to 2013-03 and 1030 patients were enrolled in this study. There were 589 in-patients, 441 out-patients and 549 patients≥60 years of age,481 patients < 60 years of age. 3 physicians evaluated the incidental ECFs in the full ifeld of view (FOV) in different window level and window width for lung, mediastinum, thorax and upper abdominal areas. Clinical relevance of ECFs were classiifed by corresponding scores. Score 1, the patients with severe lesion need immediate treatment, score 2, the lesion with clinical and prognostic signiifcance and score 3, the ifnding without clinical signiifcance.
Results: There were 197/1030 (19.1%) patients having 224 ECFs and 27 (2.6%) patients having 2 ECFs; 90/1030 (8.7%) patients having 106 signiifcant lesions including 3 (0.3%) of lung cancer and 8 (0.8%) of pulmonary embolism; 107 patients with 118 lesions without signiifcance. ECFs were found in 114/589 (19.4%) in-patients and in 83/441 (18.8%) out-patients, P>0.05; 76/481 (15.8%) of patients < 60 years of age and 121/549 (22.0%) of patients≥60 years,P<0.05.
Conclusion: Unexpected ECFs detection rate was 19.1% in patients undergoing CCTA without further radiation exposure by reconstruction with the full FOV setting, and 8.7% of ECFs had clinical signiifcance. Radiologists should routinely analyze the extra-cardiac organs in CCTA.

By combing differe nt modelin g factors and evaluation indicators of experimental animals of polycystic o-vary syndrome (PCOS), application scope, advantages and disadvantages were analyzed among various kinds of animal models, in order to screen models of etiology and pathogenesis in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Through the collection of 77 Chinese literatures published since 1979, the database on PCOS of modeling factors (i.e., animal species, age, modeling reagent and dose, etc.) and evaluation indicators (i.e., ovarian morphology and hormone levels) were established, analyzed and summarized. The results showed that the experimental PCOS models established by researchers both at home and abroad included androgen method, combination method of androgen with HCG, combi-nation method of progestrone with HCG, estrogen method, aromatic cyclase inhibitor method, combination method of HCG with insulin, combination method of androgen with insulin, insulin method, and etc. The SD and Wistar rats at the age of 3-50 days were commonly used. Chemicals, such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), testosterone propi-onate, sodium prasterone sulfate, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), levonorgestrel, estradiol valerate, letrozole, insulin and HCG were chosen to build the animal models. The evaluation indicators included ovarian morphology, the total num-ber of follicles at different levels, sex hormones (E2, P, T, FSH, LH) and insulin resistance (IR) index (FINS, FPG, HOMA). It was concluded that each modeling method described above had its own advantages and disadvantages, which cannot completely simulate clinical onset process of PCOS patients. Researchers should choose appropriate reagent and evaluation index according to different purpose. DHEA, DHT slow-release, progesterone combined with HCG modeling methods are more suitable for the study of the role of IR in the pathogenesis of PCOS. Kidney-defi-ciency and dampness-phlegm is fundamental etiology and pathogenesis of obese type of PCOS. DHEA method, com-bination method of levonorgestrel with HCG, aromatic cyclase inhibitor method conformed obese type of PCOS. The evaluation indicators included body weight, sex hormones, IR index and ovarian morphology. The method of kidney-tonifying and phlegm-reducing was often used in the treatment of obese type of PCOS in the clinical practice.
