Objective Alzheimer's disease(AD) is a common and devastating disease and there is no readily available biomarker to aid diagnosis or to monitor disease progression. This study is to further understand the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and seek new biomarkers for AD. Methods AD rats made by Aβ1-40 were assessed using the Morris water maze method. Sera of two groups were collected and albumin, IgG and sodium chloride were removed from the serum before concentration. Two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE) was performed on serum protein. Altered proteins were identified by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS). Results Compared with untreated samples, 10 altered proteins were found through 2-DE and all of them were down-regulated of which 2 were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS to be plasma retinol-binding protein precursor and complement component 4, gene 2 (C4b). Conclusion C4b may be the biomarker of AD and it may be helpful to understand the pathogenesis of AD.

Objective Since predicting protein secondary structure is the basis of predicting protein spacial structure, it is important to improve the prediction accuracy of secondary structure. Methods A two-stage BP neural network was constructed based on the method of combining hydrophobicity of amino acid residues with PSSM which contains evolution information. CB513 dataset was employed in our study. After excluding the protein chains containing X,B and those with sequence length shorter than 30 amino acids, 492 protein chains in the dataset were used. The results of protein secondary structure prediction of our study were compared with those from the networks using only PSSN as their inputs. Accuracy of the network was tested by 4-fold cross-validation. Results In our study, α-helix was predicted with an averaged accuracy of nearly 79%, sensitivity of 79% and specificity of 91%. Total prediction accuracy of secondary structure reached 75.96%, which was higher than that of only using PSSM as input. Conclusion The new method developed can better predict protein secondary structure, especially α-helix with a higher accuracy.

Objective Predicting protein structural class is the basis for predicting protein spatial structure,so it is important to improve the prediction accuracy of protein structural class.Methods We proposed 3-state and 8-state Hidden Markov model (HMM),and applied these HMMs to the prediction of protein structural class,respectively.We evaluated their accuracy on two different datasets through the rigorous jackknife cross-validation test.Results Prediction ability of 8-state HMM and 3-state HMM to all α class were excellent,the prediction accuracy of 3-state HMM even reached above 95％.Compared with Chou data set,the prediction accuracy of Zhou data set for all β class and α/β class of was improved,while overall prediction accuracy increased by 2％.Conclusion HMM is an effective method to predict protein structural class.

We analyzed the best light intensity for callus induction and maintenance in Vitis vinifera and explored the mechanism of grape callus browning. Tender stem segments of grape cultivar "gold finger" were used to study the effects of different light intensities (0, 500, 1 000, 1 500, 2 000, 2 500, 3 000 and 4 000 Lx) on the induction rate, browning rate and associated enzyme activity and gene expression during Vitis vinifera callus formation. The callus induction rate under 0, 500, 1 000 and 1 500 Lx was more than 92%, significantly higher than in other treatments (P < 0.05). A lower browning rate and better callus growth were also observed during subculture under 1 000 and 1 500 Lx treatments. We found that chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid and coumaric acid contents were correlated with the browning rate of callus, among which chlorogenic acid content was positively correlated with the browning rate (P < 0.05). Peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities were negatively correlated with the browning rate of callus (P < 0.01). The POD, PPO and phenylalanine ammonialyase (PAL) expression levels were positively correlated with the browning rate at P < 0.05 or P < 0.01. An appropriate light intensity for the tissue culture of Vitis vinifera was 1 000-1 500 Lx, higher or lower light intensities significantly impaired normal callus growth.

Objective To investigate the potential influence of TNF on the expression of protease activated receptor (PAR)-1,2,3 and 4 by using P815 mast cells. Methods After being challenged with various concentrations of TNF for 2 h, 6 h and 16 h, the P815 mast cells were treated with or without Triton X-100 and the PAR expressions were detected by flow cytometry and immunofluorescent microscopy. Results Compared with the corresponding controls, TNF concentration-dependently upregulated expressions of PAR-2 and PAR-4 both in Triton X-100-treated and the untreated groups, but had no significant effect on the expression of PAR-1 and PAR-3. Moreover, no significantly different expressions of TNF-induced PAR-1, 2, 3 were observed between Triton X-100-treated and the untreated groups, whereas Triton X-100-treated PAR-4 expressions were significantly enhanced by TNF compared with the Triton X-100-untreated ones. Conclusion TNF can up-regulate PAR-2, 4 expression of P815 mast cells but has little effect on the expression of PAR-1, 3 correspondingly. And Triton X-100 treatment had no significant effect on TNF-modulated expression of PARs in P815 mast cells.

Objective To explore the anatomy for transethmoidal-sphenoid optic nerve decompression under endoscopy and its significance in operation. Methods Fifteen cases (30 sides) of formalin-fixed adult optic canal specimens were dissected under the microscope. The anatomic characteristics of the optic canal and its adjacent were observed, and the relative parameters were evaluated according to nasal endoscopic approach. Results ①The relationship between the optic carotid triangle(OCT)with the optic canal, the ophthalmic artery, the cavernous sinus and the internal carotid artery were invariable, its present ratio were in 66.7%. ②The mean distance from the front margin of nasal columella floor to medial wall of the orbital opening, middle portion and the cranial opening in the optic canal were (72.79 ± 5.40)mm, (75.85 ± 5.10)mm and (79.34 ± 4.95)mm, respectively, and the elevation angles were (39.45 ± 3.68)°, (37.30±4.24)°and (35.45 ± 4.16)°, respectively. ③The mean thickness of sheath in the medial wall of the orbital opening,middle portion and the cranial opening were (0.70 ± 0. 18)mm, (0.51 ± 0.15)mm and (0.49-0.22)mm,respectively. The difference in thickness between the orbital opening and middle portion, the cranial opening were very remarkable(P ＜ 0.01 ). ④The lateral deviate distance from medial wall of the orbital opening, middle portion and cranial opening to sagittal median plane of cadaveric were 1/2 (12.69 ± 2.73)mm、1/2( 19.61± 3.47)mm and 1/2 (25.79 ± 3.23)mm, respectively. Conclusion OCT is the most reliable anatomic landmark to locate the optic canal, and the key point is at the orbital opening of the optic nerve in the optic nerve decompression. It is secure and feasible to cut the sheath from the place where the medial wall crosses the superior wall of the optic nerve.

Objective To measure the volumetric changes precisely during stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for early-stage and oligo-metastatic lung tumors and optimize the treatment plan timely.Methods From October 2011 to October 2014, 66 patients with 71 early-stage or oligo-metastatic lung tumors received SABR.Median age was 66 years.To measure the volume of tumors, the verification images were registered before each treatment fraction with stimulation images by reference to bone structure.Tumors volume was measured by the first verification images, and were defined as the reference when evaluating the trend of tumors volume change during SABR treatment.Generalized estimated equations were used to analyze the trend of the change of tumors volume over time with several possible predictors.The primary plan (P-plan) was modified when the biological effective dose (BED) of a tumor reached 60 Gy and volume change reached 25％.The modified plan was named as M-plan.Paired t-test was used to compare the dose of organs at risk (OAR) between M-plan and P-plan.Results In 71 tumors, 49 (69％) tumors showed volumetric shrinkage, 21 (30％) tumors showed enlargement and 1 tumor showed invariance.Generalized estimated equation showed no statistical significance (P =0.281) for the volumetric shrinkage of lung tumors.M-plan was made in 26 tumors.Of these tumors, 21 tumors decreased over 25 ％ and the result of paired t-test showed V5 of lung, Dmax and D1.2 cm3 of spinal cord, Dmax and D5 cm3 of esophagus and D30 cm3 of chest wall were statistically different between two plans(t =3.139 ～11.939 ,P＜0.05).5 tumors enlarged over 25％ and the result of paired t-test showed V5 and V20 of lung,Dmax and D1.2cm3 of spinal cord, Dmax of esophagus and D30cm3 of chest wall were statistically different between the two plans(t =-10.436--2.518, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Size of lung tumors changed dynamically during SABR, but it is unnecessary to modify treatment plans for all tumors.The tumors which showed obvious volumetric change may benefit from modifying treatment plans.

Objective To explore the effects of andrographolide(AP),extracted from the traditional Chinese herb Andrographlis paniculata(AP),on injury induced by radiation exposure.Methods Sixty male rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups and irradiated with 60Co γ-rays at the doses of 1,2,and 4 Gy,respectively:low dose AP group(intragnstrically administered with AP at the dose of 100 ms/kg daily for 10 d before irradiation),and high dose AP group(intragastrically administered with AP at the dose of 200 ms/kg daily for 10 d before irradiation),model group(administered with the same volume of normal saline instead of AP for 10 d before irradiation),and control group(irradiated only at 3 different doses).One day after irradiation all rats were killed with their livers being fixed to make paraffin section.The morphological feature was observed under light microscope after HE staining,and the cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL technology.Results Compared to the control and model groups,the pathological changes of liver were significantly gentler in the AP treatment groups.The apoptosis rates of the liver cells of all the AP sub-groups were significantly lower than those of the control and model subgroup(t=2.19-4.80.P<0.05).Conclusions AP might have prevention effect against radiation exposure.
