Objective:To investigate the effect of Rab7 on cytokine induced by TLR7 (Toll like receptor-7) R848 activated in Raw264.7,and discusses the influence of Rab7 on MAPK signal transduction.Methods: TLR7 downstream cytokines such as TNF-α,IL-6,IFN-α,IFN-β and IP-10 activated by R848 were detected through Q-PCR in Rab7 silenced mouse macrophages,and then analysis of phosphorylation of MAPK determined with Western blot showed the effect of Rab7 on signal transduction of MAPK.Results: Rab7 inhibit production of cytokine activated by TLR7,and also,Rab7 had an inhibitory effect on MAPK signal pathway.Conclusion: The experimental results further illustrate that the Rab7 is the TLR7 signal transduction pathway negative regulatory factor,and to participate in MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective:To assess the characteristics change of sleep architecture in drug naive patients with schizophrenia,compared with healthy control.Methods:The key words including schizophrenia and sleep architecture (or sleep structure or sleep disturbance or polysomnogram and so on) were used to search literatures in MEDLINE,Embase,Springer,PsychINFO,google scholar,Wanfang data,published from 1980 to 2015.Fifteen studies that compared sleep architecture in drug naive patients with schizophrenia and healthy control were included.Literature quality evaluation was performed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.The meta-analysis was performed by using Stata13.0 software.Results:Compared to healthy control,the total sleep time decreased (P < 0.01),the sleep latency increased (P < 0.01),the sleep efficiency decreased (P < 0.01),and the rapid-eye-movemem (REM) sleep latency increased (P < 0.01) significantly in drug naive patients with schizophrenia.The proportion of stage1 was increased,and the proportions of stage4 and slow wave sleep stage were decreased,the differences between case and control were statistically significant.Conclusion:In the control of drug effects,patients with schizophrenia may have poorer sleep quality of be poorer than healthy controls,such as the decreased total sleep time,specifically slow wave sleep,prolonged sleep latency and decreased sleep efficiency.

Objective:To establish cell lines stably expressing Rab5a and its the inactive mutant Rab5aN133I,analyze the effect of Rab5a on the expression of cytokines in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells .Methods:RAW264.7 cells were transfected with Rab5a and its inactive mutant vector Rab5a N133I separately,and then screened by G418.Rab5a stable expressing cell lines were identified by Real time-PCR.The growth of the stable cell lines was analyzed by MTT assay.After the stable cell lines were stimulated by LPS for different time periods,the expression of iNOS,TNF-αand IL-6 was detected.Results:Rab5a and Rab5aN133I transfection resulted in elevated Rab5a mRNA expression compared with the control cells ( P<0.05 ).Rab5a overexpression enhanced the proliferation of RAW264.7 cells.However,the proliferation of Rab5aN133I cells was significantly slower than the control cells ( P<0.05).Overexpression of Rab5a promoted LPS-induced production of iNOS,TNF-αand IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells (P<0.01). Conversely,overexpression of Rab5aN133I abolished the stimulating effects of Rab5a.Conclusion: Rab5a promoted LPS-induced expression of iNOS,TNF-αand IL-6 in RAW264.7 macrophages in a GTP-binding ability-dependent manner.

Objective:To respond to the national requirements on the construction of research integrity, and improve the capacity building of research integrity at hospitals.Methods:Dealing with research integrity problems identified at hospital before 2018, measurements that include " policy and procedures development, standardization of the management of scientific research activities, and optimizing the scientific and technological evaluation system" were adopted to promote the construction of research integrity. Such corrective activities were monitored to summarize experiences and lessons for the continuing improvement of research integrity construction.Results:Both " heteronomy" and " self-discipline" of research integrity have been sublimated simultaneously, at the same time, a tailored research integrity management system with the characteristics of local hospitals has been established.Conclusions:Updating institutional policy and procedures, taking paper management as a priority, as well as research integrity training, these measurements played important roles in promoting the research integrity capacity building at hospitals.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of the cognitive deficits in schizophrenic patients with diabetes.Methods 578 inpatients with schizophrenia and 400 healthy adults were collected.578 schizophrenic patients were divided into schizophrenia group with type 2 diabetes (combined group,n=277) and schizophrenia without type 2 diabetes (single disease group,n=301).The cognitive function of all subjects were examined by the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS).The clinical symptoms of patients with schizophrenia were measured with the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).Fasting glucose,lipids,hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and insulin levels were measured.Results The total score and factor scores of RBANS in the combined group were lower than those in the healthy control group (total score (70.51 ± 14.43) vs (80.04 ± 15.14),immediate memory (62.65 ± 16.81) vs (75.66± 17.33),visual span(83.60±20.81) vs (87.61 ± 15.61),verbal function(85.58± 14.64) vs (93.88± 13.10),attention function (73.66± 17.52) vs (87.42±20.37),delayed memory(75.27± 17.80) vs (86.27± 15.27),all P<0.05).The total score of RBANS,immediate memory and attention function factor were lower in the combined group than that in the single disease group ((70.51±14.43) vs (75.02±15.25),(62.65±16.81) vs (67.37±19.12),(73.66±17.52) vs (84.17±15.22),all P<0.05).Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that education,negative symptoms,positive symptoms,BMI,HbAc 1,course of disease and antipsychotic type were the influencing factors of cognitive impairment in schizophrenic patients with diabetes.Conclusion The cognitive impairment of schizophrenic patients with diabetes is more serious and affected by many factors.Targeted early intervention can help reduce cognitive impairment.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants among patients with depression at different age stages.Methods One hundred thirty five patients with depression(including 63 elderly patients aged 60 years and older,and 72 young and middle-aged patients under 60 years old)and 98 healthy controls(including 46 elderly controls aged 60 years and older,and 52 young and middle-aged controls aged under 60 years old)were enrolled.Serum levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants(uric acid,total bilirubin,albumin)were assessed.Results Multiple analysis of variance showed the main effects of depression factors on uric acid and total bilirubin were significant(P<0.05).Uric acid[(314.30±85.18)μmol/L vs.(339.68±85.27)μmol/L],total bilirubin[(12.81±6.16)μmol/L vs.(15.09±5.97)μmol/L]levels were lower in patients with depression than in controls(P<0.05).There was an interactive effect between age and depression factors on the levels of albumin(P<0.001),and the levels of albumin[(41.05±3.97)g/L vs.(46.01±4.49)g/L]were lower in group of the elderly patients with depression than those in group of the young and middle-aged patients with depression(P<0.01).Conclusion Patients with depression have abnormalities in levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants which are more severe in elderly patients.
