Objective To investigate the relationship between the 5-lipoxygenase(5-LO) in mouse lung and during infection in the respiratory system.Methods Investigate the expression of 5-LO in the lung of a mouse by immunocytochemistry.Results The intensity of the immune staining against 5-LO antibody was stronger in infected mice than that in non-infected rats.A weaker immuneoreation was observed in the treated group of animals.Conclusion Changes in the expression of 5-LO in pulmonary tisssues could be designed to detect the treatment efficacy during the lung infection.

Objective To investigate whether TG2 plays an important role in the osteoblast differentiation and mineralization.Methods TG2 mRNA of SaOS-2 cells was knocked down using a lentivirus stably expressing short-hairpin ( sh) RNA targeting TG2.Then the cells were cultured in osteo-inductive medium for 14 d to measure mineralization and for 7 d to measure the levels of osteoblastic differentiation markers including ALP activity and mRNA of collagen I, osteocalcin ( OCN) and BMP-2.The wild-type SaOS-2 cells and scrambled shRNA-transducted SaOS-2 cells served as the controls. Results The controls displayed an increasing trend of the level of ALP activity and mRNA of collagen I, osteocalcin and BMP-2,and notable mineralization at 14 d.When TG2 was knocked down, ALP activity, mRNA of collagen I, osteocalcin and BMP-2 at 7d,and mineralization at 14 d were all significantly lower in comparison with the corresponding values in the controls.Conclusion TG2 is involved in the differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts in vitro.

To discuss clinicopathological features and molecular genetic change of congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN).Methods Nine cases diagnosed as CMN were analyzed retrospectively in this study.Histological features,immunohistochemical profiles and ETV6 gene rearrangement status were assessed.Results All patients were within two years of age and eight of them were within one year.The average diameter of tumors was 9.5 cm (3.2-15.0 cm).These series cases included 3 classic CMN,5 cellular CMN and 1 mixed CMN.Cystic degeneration was found in 5 cases,and cartilage islands were observed in 2 cases.Compared with classic CMN,tumor size was bigger,and hemorrhage,necrosis and mitotic figures were easily to see in cellular CMN.All the tumor cells were positive for vimentin and negative for WT-1 by immunohistochemistry.ETV6 gene rearrangement was detected in 5 cases (including 4 cellular CMN and 1 classic CMN).Three cellular CMN harbored ETV6 gene translocation,1 mixed CMN and 1 cellular CMN were negative for ETV6 gene translocation by FISH analysis.The follow up data were obtained in 7 cases and 2 cases were lost.All the 7 patients were alive without evidence of recurrence and metastasis from 5 to 46 months.Conclusion CMN is a rare infant renal tumor with unique clinicopathological characteristics.Most of cellular CMNs harbor ETV6 gene translocation.The prognosis of CMN is relative good and needs to be differentiated from other malignant renal tumors.

Objective: To investigate the status and prognostic significance of TERT and IDH1/2 genes mutations in diffusely infiltrating gliomas. Methods: Hot spot mutations of TERT and IDH1/2 genes were detected by DNA sequencing in 236 cases of gliomas at West China Hospital from 2012 to 2016, including pilocytic astrocytoma (WHO grade Ⅰ, 16 cases), diffuse astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma (WHO grade Ⅱ, 89 cases), anaplastic astrocytoma and oligodendroglioma (WHO grade Ⅲ, 72 cases) and glioblastoma (WHO grade Ⅳ, 59 cases). The prognostic significance of TERT and IDH1/2 hot spot mutations was evaluated. Results: No IDH or TERT mutations were detected in pilocytic gliomas. TERT promoter mutation frequency was higher in patients aged ≥40 years(60.8%, 93/153) than in patients aged <40 years (32.8%, 22/67; P<0.01). TERT promoter mutation rate was also significantly higher in oligodendroglioma (87.5% , 56/64) than that in astrocytoma(37.8%, 59/156; P<0.01). Young age (<40 years), oligodendroglioma and IDH1 mutation were favorable prognostic factors for diffusely infiltrating astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors. TERT mutation alone was not of prognostic significance. Diffusely infiltrating astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors were divided into four molecular subtypes according to TERT and IDH1 mutation status: IDH(+ )/TERT(+ ), IDH(+ )/TERT(-), IDH(-)/TERT(-) and IDH(-)/TERT(+ ). There was significant prognostic difference among the 4 subtypes. Conclusions Combined IDH and TERT gene mutation analysis may be useful for prognostic subgrouping. Notably, IDH1 wild-type cases can be further subdivided into TERT(+ ) or (-) subgroups with significant prognostic difference.

Objective To analyze the efficacy and adverse reactions of donepezil in the treatment of patients with a continuous disease spectrum of Alzheimer's disease(AD)with pharmacogenomics.Methods Seventy-two patients who took donepezil therapy at the time of initial molecular pa-thology diagnosis of AD continuous disease spectrum in Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jan-uary 2022 to January 2023 were recruited.Cells from the oral buccal mucosa were collected,and MassARRAY nucleic acid mass spectrometry was applied to detect the genotypes of CYP2D6,the gene encoding cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme,and CHAT,the gene encoding acetylcholine trans-ferase.After 9 months of follow-up,drug efficacy was indirectly determined by neurological func-tion scales,caregiver evaluations,and drug prescribing behaviors,and thus,the 50 patients on donepezil alone were divide into effective group(n=28)and ineffective group(n=22).Seventy-two patients were divided into adverse reaction group(n=12)and no adverse reaction group(n=60).Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the correlation between donepezil efficacy and pharmacogenomics.Results The frequencies of CHAT rs3793790 locus carrying G allele and rs2177370 locus carrying A allele were significantly higher in the effective group than the ineffective group(35.71％vs 9.09％,P=0.029;42.86％vs 9.09％,P=0.008).Multivariate lo-gistic regression analysis showed that donepezil was more effective in those who carrying rs3793790 G allele and/or rs2177370 A allele in the CHAT gene than those who carrying neither of the alleles(95％CI:1.20-34.47,P=0.030).There were no statistical differences in the CYP2D6 gene-adjusted activity score and whether or not carrying*10 between the patients with and without adverse reactions(P＞0.0 5).Conclusion In patients with a continuous spectrum of AD,donepezil efficacy is associated with CHAT gene polymorphisms,but there is no correlation between donepezil adverse reactions and CYP2D6 genotype.

Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of arterial blood lactate for patients with cardiogenic shock receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted. Twenty-three patients diagnosed with cardiogenic shock receiving veno-arterial(V-A) ECMO admitted to department of Emergency Intensive Care Unit(EICU) of Beijing Luhe Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2017 to December 2018 were enrolled. Results: There were 10 cases in the survival group and 13 cases in the death group. Compared with survival group, APACHE-Ⅱ score was higher, CRRT applied higher percentage, PH and oxygenation index was worse in the death group(P<0.05). The lactate of the death group was significantly higher than that of the survival group at initial time at EICU, 1 h before ECMO and 0h before ECMO(P<0.05). During the ECMO operation, lactate levels in the death group at 8 h and 12 h were significantly higher than those in the survival group(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in lactate clearance rate between the two groups before and after ECMO operation in each observation period(P>0.05). On the 2nd day of ECMO operation, CRRT usage time was shorter and daily liquid balance was more negative in the survival group(P<0.05). APACHE-Ⅱscore, initial lactate at EICU, lactate at ECMO 8 h and lactate at ECMO 12 h had predictive value for 30-day death of patients. The area under ROC curve(AUC) of initial lactate at EICU was 0.845, and 95% confidence interval(95%CI)=0.653-1.000. The AUC of ECMO 8 h lactate was 0.836, 95%CI: 0.634-1.000. The AUC of ECMO 12 h lactate was 0.873, 95%CI: 0.697-1.000. The AUC of APACHE-Ⅱscore was 0.891, 95%CI: 0.717-1.000. The sensitivity and specificity of prognosis prediction were 72.7% and 100% when lactate was more than 7.3 mmol/L at the time of admission into EICU as the optimal critical value. Conclusion Arterial blood lactate could be used as an important marker for evaluating the prognosis of cardiogenic shock patients on ECMO. The value of lactate clearance rate may be affected by combined CRRT.

The recovery of disorders of consciousness after brain injury is very difficult, music therapy is one of the important ways to promote the awakening. The effects of music therapy are various among individuals, the vegetative state and the minimally conscious state, and the pieces of music. The default mode network is one of the most important networks to maintain awareness, which many other networks participate in. The brain regions affected by music involve in many networks, including hearing, cognition, emotion, and so on.
