Objective To detect the changes in vertebral marrow fat fraction (MFF) using T2 *-corrected water-fat MRI and to analyze the relationships between MFF with bone biomarkers of non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD).Methods 78 CKD patients were divided into five groups according to the eGFR and underwent water/fat MRI to obtain MFF.The reliability of MFF measurements by two radiologists was assessed with intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC).Serum calcium,phosphorus,alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,intact parathyroid hormone and 25(OH)D3 were determined.Results Mean CV for MFF measurements reproducibility was 2.37%.The inter-observer agreement for MFF was excellent (ICC=0.901).The ICC for each intra-observer agreement was excellent (ICC=0.959 and 0.948,respectively).There were statistical differences in MFF among five groups of CKD.Changes of MFF were earlier than those of serum calcium,phosphorus,parathyroid hormone,alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin.MFF was positively correlated with serum phosphorus (r =3.011,P =0.003),parathyroid hormone (r=3.852,P<0.001),and negatively associated with calcium (r=-2.767,P=0.017),25(OH)D3 (r=6.032,P<0.001),eGFR (r=-5.104,P<0.001),respectively.Multivariable regression analysis showed MFF was negatively correlated with 25(OH)D3(Sβ=-0.343)and eGFR(S(S=-0.284,P<0.001).Conclusion CKD patients had higher marrow fat.T2 *-corrected water fat MRI could serve as a useful tool to quantify marrow fat content for CKD patients.

The promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is an important part of the PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) structure.PML protein is crucial for the assembly of PML-NBs and recruits more than 30 different proteins, including DAXX, ATRX, and small ubiquitin-like molecules involving SUMO to the PML-NBs region.Increased evidence has emerged that a number of different proteins is involved in regulating PML activities by post-translational modifications, such as SUMO modification, ubiquitination and phosphorylation.Here, we review recent studies on the combination of PML and different proteins in the process of apoptosis, replicative senescence and DNA damage response.

[Abstact] Purpose To investigate the value of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of diffusion weighted imaging (DW1) in the evaluation of the efficacy of treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).Materials and Methods Nineteen patients with advanced NSCLC who treated with TKIs from May 2014 to December 2015 were recruited prospectively.All patients underwent CT and MRI scans three times before targeted therapy,after 1 week and 4 weeks of treatment.The tumor maximal diameter and mean ADC value at different time points were compared.The correlations between mean ADC value and tumor maximal diameter and maximum diameter change rate at different time points were analyzed.Bland-Altman analysis was performed to confirm the reproducibility of measurements.Results The ADC value after 1 week of treatment was significantly increased compared with that before treatment (t=-6.329,P<0.05),but the change of tumor maximal diameter was not significant (P>0.05).The ADC value was significantly increased after 4 weeks of treatment compared with that before treatment (t=-4.878,P<0.05),and the change of tumor maximal diameter was also significant (t=7.054,P<0.05).The negative correlation was detected between the ADC before treatment and the maximal diameter change ratio after 4 weeks of treatment (r2=-0.474,P<0.05).In the group of responders,there was significant difference between the ADC value before treatment and 1 week after treatment (P<0.05).There was significant difference in ADC value between the groups of responders and non-responders after 4 weeks of treatment (P<0.05).The Bland-Altman analysis showed good reproducibility among the operators.Conclusion The ADC value after 1 week of targeted therapy is more sensitive to the change of tumor than the maximal diameter,and the ADC value before treatment has a certain value in predicting the maximum diameters of the target after 4 weeks of targeted therapy with repeatability.

Objective To evaluate the application of osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA) in screening of osteoporosis for postmenopausal women in community.Methods Total 793 postmenopausal women were included.OSTA were calculated and bone mineral density (BMD)was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).The correlation of OSTA index with DXA results was analyzed.Results The prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia was 18.3% (145/793) and 47.7%(378/793) respectively,the remaining 270 women had normal bone mass (34.0%).According to OSTA index the rate of low-risk,medium-risk,high-risk osteoporosis groups were 61.9% (491/793),29.5%(234/793) and 8.6% (68/793),respectively.The BMD measured by DXA was positively correlated with OSTA index(r =0.559,P =0.000).The area under receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of OSTA for diagnosing osteoporosis was 0.736.Taking-1 as cut off value,the sensitivity and specificity of OSTA in diagnosis of osteoporosis was 73.1% (106/145) and 69.8% (452/648),respectively.Conclusion OSTA can be used as an effective index for screening of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women in community.

Objective To explore the expression of miR-9 in H/RS cells and its regulation on target PRDM1.Methods miR-9 expression in normal CD19+ B-cell subsets and eight lymphoma cell lines was detected by fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH),for quantification and location,respectively.Chemically synthesizcd antisense oligonucleotide of miR-9 was transiently transfected into L428 for its silence,and the PRDM1 expression was tested.Results Fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR showed that the expression of miR-9 in L428 cells was marked higher than that of normal CD19+ B-cell subsets and other lymphoma cell lines (the expression of miR-9 in L428 cells was 47-fold of OCI-Ly1,50-fold of Raji cells,7-fold of EBV+ immortalized B cell line,and 6-fold of ALCL cell line).ISH indicated that miR-9 located in cytoplasm,it was a diffuse and strong positive in L428,scattered and weak in DLBCL and Burkitt' s lymphoma cell lines,while negative in KARPAS-299 or Jurkat cell lines.Transient down-regulation of miR-9 in L428 leded to the increase of PRDMI protein.Conclusion miR-9 plays the role of cancer gene in cHL,and may exert a potential function in regulating terminal B cell differentiation through a post transcription regulation of PRDM1 gene.

ObjectiveTo explore regulation effect of miR-340-5p on regulating bone morphogenetic protein 4(BMP4) expression and the differentiation of rat's NSCs.MethodsNSCs of rats were divided randomly into three groups: normal group (Mock),group with nonsense oligonucleotide (Anti-Con) and group with antisense oligonucleotide of miR-340-5p (Anti-miR-340-5p).The qRT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression of miR-340-5p.The expression of NF200 and MAP-2 was detected by immunocytochemical staining and immunofluorescence,respectively.Western blot was used to detect the expression of BMP4 protein.ResultsThe relative levels of miR-340-5p expression were significantly decreased in Anti-miR-340-5p group (0.14±0.01) compared with that of Mock group(1.01±0.17) and Anti-Con group(1.07±0.13) (P<0.01).Immunocytochemical staining indicated that NF200 was positive in cells of Anti-miR-340-5p group.The proportion of MAP2 positive cells was increased in Anti-miR-340-5p group compared with other groups (P<0.05).Western blot showed the increased expression of BMP4 protein in Anti-miR-340-5p group (0.84±0.09) compared with Mock group(0.53±0.04) and Anti-Con group (0.63±0.09) (P<0.05).ConclusionThe miR-340-5p may exert a potential function in regulating differentiation of NSCs into neurons through a negative regulation of BMP4.
