Objective To discuss the clinical effect of behavioral therapy combined with pramipexole in patients’ degree of depression and non-motor symptoms in early-onset Parkinson’s disease and depression.Methods A total of 74 cases of patients with early-onset Parkinson’s disease and depression were equally divided into observation group and control group, 37 cases in each groups.Patients in control group were given pramipexole, while patients in observation group were given pramipexole and behavioral therapy.The hamilton depression ( HAMD) scale, Zung self-rating depression scale and unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale ( UPDRS ) were used to evaluate and measure the change of degree of depression and non-motor symptoms.Results Before treatment, the HAMD score, Zung score, UPDRS II score and UPDRS III score between two groups had no statistical difference; after treatment, the HAMD score, Zung score, UPDRS II score and UPDRS III score in two groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05). The HAMD score, and Zung score between two groups had no statistical difference at the end of 4th weekends, and compared with control group, those scores in observation group were much better at the end of 8th and 12th weekend (P<0.05).The UPDRS II and UPDRS III between two group had no statistical difference at the end of 4-8th week, while those scores in observation group were better than those in control group at the end of 12th week(P<0.05).Conclusion Behavioral therapy combined with pramipexole has a great effect on the improvement of patients’ degree of depression and non-motor symptoms, which has a positive promotion on patients’ life quality.

Objective To investigate the effects and underlying mechanism of calcitriol on ameliorating podocytes impairment in DN rats.Methods SD rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal control (NC) group,calcitriol treatment (VD) group:calcitriol 0.1μg· kg--1 d-1,diabetic nephropathy (DN) group:streptozocin (STZ) 58 mg/kg,DN treated with calcitriol (DN + VD) group:calcitriol 0.1 μg · kg-1 · d-1 + STZ 58 mg/kg.Rats were sacrificed at the end of 18 weeks.Results Compared with the DN group,the DN + VD group exhibited significantly lower proteinuria by 36%,improved renal histology at the end of the experiment (P < 0.05),and similar levels of blood glucose,serum urea nitrogen as well as body weight (P > 0.05).There were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of creatinine,calcium and phosphorus among the four groups (P > 0.05).In DN group,the expressions of nephrin,podocin,VDR,PI3K-p85 and p-Akt were significantly decreased and the expression of desmin was increased compared to NC group.Calcitriol treatment could attenuate the above changes.Additionally,a positive correlation was observed between the expressions of nephrin and VDR (r=0.776,P < 0.05).Likewise,the expression of nephrin was positively correlated with either PI3K -p85 or p-Akt (r=-0.736,r=0.855,all P < 0.05).Conclusion Calcitriol can ameliorate podocytes injury in DN rats,which might be related with the further up-regulation of PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on high glucose induced macrophage activation and its underlying signal transduction mechanism.Methods RAW 264.7 cells were used to perform cell culture,the activity of intracellular iNOS was measured.VDR siRNA and PPARγ antagonist pre-treatment with macrophages were done before using 10-8 mol/L1,25(OH)2D3 to intervene high glucose pre-incubated macrophages.M1 markers including iNOS,TNF-α,IL-12,M2 markers including MR,Arg-1,IL-10 and nuclear receptors VDR and PPARγ were separately examined.Results The iNOS activity was increased in a glucose-dose and time dependent manner.Particularly,25 mmol/L glucose at 24 h gave the maximum response.After being treated with 25 mmol/L glucose for 24 h,not only inflammatory cytokines of TNF-α,IL-12 in the supernatant were increased,but quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis showed iNOS was also up-regulated (P < 0.05).However,M2 markers,i.e.MR and Arg-l were significantly decreased (P < 0.05).When in the presence of 1,25(OH),D3,the trends were reversed:the markers of M1,including TNF-α,IL-12 and iNOS were obviously reduced (P < 0.05),while M2 markers,IL-10,Arg-1 and MR were increased (P < 0.05).In addition,VDR and PPARγ were also increased (P < 0.05).However,the above effects of 1,25 (OH)2D3 were abolished when further inhibited the expression of VDR and PPARγby VDR siRNA and PPARγ antagonist.Besides,accompanied by VDR,PPARγwas also decreased upon the treatment with VDR siRNA (P < 0.05).Conclusion 1,25(OH)2D3 can promote high glucose induced classically activated macrophages (M1) converting to alternatively activated macrophages (M2) and this is achieved through VDR-PPARγ pathway.

Nanobodies,which occur naturally in Camelidae animals,are the functional heavy chain antibodies without light chains.Having the relative properties of small size,high stability,good solubility and targeting effect,nanobodies have a great potential in PET and SPECT imaging for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases,such as tumor and infectious disease.Radio-labeled nanobodies might have potential to become the molecular imaging probes of the next generation.

Objective To investigate the effect of 1,25(OH)2D3 on high glucose induced podocyte injury and its signal transduction mechanism.Methods Differentiated mouse podocytes were exposed to normal glucose,high glucose,and different concentrations of 1,25(OH)2D3 or LY294002 (a selective PI3K inhibitor) for 24 h.PCR and immunofluorescent staining were used to detect nephrin,podocin,and desmin.Western blotting was used to detect protein expression of nephrin,podocin,desmin,PI3K,Akt and p-Akt.Results Compared with high glucose group,1,25(OH)2D3 (100 nmol/L and 1000 nmol/L) significantly up-regulated the expression of podocin and nephrin in podocytes induced by high glucose (P < 0.05).Meanwhile,1,25(OH)2D3 (100 nmol/L) significantly reduced the expression of desmin (P < 0.05).PI3K and p-Akt were obviously reduced in high glucose group.In the presence of 1,25(OH)2D3,the trends were reversed.However the above effects of 1,25(OH)2D3 were abolished when p-Akt was blocked by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002.Conclusions 1,25 (OH)2D3 can inhibit high glucose-induced pedocyte injury through PI3K/p-Akt signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the relationship between a functional single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP) in the core promoter region of GDF5 gene(+104T>c ;rs143383) and spinal fusion in Qingdao Han people. Methods This study included 201 patients who needed to be treated with spinal fusion and 200 healthy controls. They were all out of tuberculosis, tumor, infection, and long time of related medicine using. Their operation regions were similar, containing L4.5, C4.5, C5.6, and C6.7. The SNP was defined in all people, using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and gene sequencing. The patients were followed-up 3,6, 12 months after operation. The conditions of bone graft fusion were carried out into different grades according to imaging. According to the common used fusion criterion, to analyze the relationship between this SNP and spinal fusion. Results The results obtained from PCR-RFLP were confirmed by gene sequencing. The patients and the healthy control all showed the SNP in this site. There were no relationship between the spinal fusion patients and the healthy control in the SNP (x2=0.304, P=0.859). But it showed correlation (x2=4.752, P=0.023) with fusing or not in the spine and the speed of fusion (x2=9.864, P=0.007)in Qingdao Han people. In the fusion group, the site rs143383 showed more C allele than the non-fusion group. T allele may affect the transcription of GDF5, thus reduce the expression of GDF5. Patients with the genotype TC+CC showed larger proportion stable fusion and faster speed than the patients with TT. Conclusion SNP in the core promoter region of GDF5 (+104T>C) is associated with spinal fusion in Qingdao Han people. The allele C may be an important factor to promote spinal fusion. Detect the TT genotype early and intervene, the spinal fusion effect may be improved. Or, the genotype may be changed by gene technology,making the efficient fusion.
