Parkinson disease(PD) is a degenerative disorder characterized by the loss of midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons. Recently it has been demonstrated that ES cells can differentiate into dopaminergic neurons in vitro and is a potentiol item for transplantation. In this paper we reviewed clinical study in treating Parkinson disease、methods and mechanisms of ES cells differentiation into dopaminergic neurons in vitro and progress of its application.

Objective:To investigate the role of p21 gene in the radiation-induced heart disease (RIHD) and to evaluate the effect on p21 gene knockout on RIHD phenotype in mouse models.Methods:p21 -/-mice were utilized in the experimental group, and p21 + /-mice were allocated in the control group. RIHD mouse models were established by exposure to 10 Gy whole heart irradiation by using a small animal radiation research platform. The heart samples were collected at 6 weeks after irradiation, the gross specimens were measured and subject to HE staining. The wall thickness and left ventricular ejection fraction of the mice were detected by the Vevo2100 ultrasound imaging system. The hypoxia in cardiac tissues was detected by the hypoxia probe method. The apoptosis of cardiac cells was determined by Tunel method. Results:Compared with the p21 + /-mice, the survival of p21 -/-mice was significantly shortened ( P=0.004), the interventricular septum was significantly thinned during the diastolic and systolic phases ( P=0.049, P=0.006), the left ventricular posterior wall was remarkably thickened ( P<0.001) and the left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly decreased ( P=0.004). The gross heart tissue was enlarged in the p21 -/-mice. HE staining showed the aggregation of inflammatory cells in cardiac tissues and disordered arrangement of myocardial cells. Significant hypoxia and apoptosis could be observed in the p21 -/-mouse heart tissues. Conclusions:p21 -/-mice are prone to more severe RIHD after irradiation, manifested with shortened cardiac survival, weakened cardiac function, abnormal cardiac structure, hypoxia and apoptosis of cardiac tissues. p21 plays an important role in the repair after cardiac irradiation.

Objective To investigate the effects of GW4064,one FXR agonist,on the leptin and OB-Rb during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and on the OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells. Methods The mRNA relative expression of leptin , OB-Rb and the protein of leptin on the day of 0 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes after interfered with GW4064 were detected by fluorescent real-time PCR and ELISA , respectively. Meanwhile , the mRNA relative expression of OB-Rb of HepG2 cells after treated with GW4064 0 h , 12 h,24 h,48 h were also examined. Results The mRNA relative expression of leptin in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells after treated with GW4064 were significantly increased compared with the controlgroup. Also, the protein level of leptin was similar with the mRNA expression. The all differences were statistically significance (P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference on OB-Rb in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes cells (P>0.05). Conclusions GW4064 is able to upregulate the expression of leptin in the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and OB-Rb in the HepG2 cells. Now the role of leptin in the NAFLD is still unkown, however, the low expression of OB-Rb is related with the leptin resistance in the pathogenesis of NAFLD. So we hypothesize that FXR agonist may treat NAFLD through upreglating the expression of OB-Rb and improving leptin resistance.

Objective:To investigate the role of reducing resistance and distraction in rapid teeth movement and its reliability by establishing the Beagle dogs’ experimental model.
Methods:The left or right sides in mandibles of 20 beagles were randomly operated with different treatments:distraction twice a day through reducing resistance;distraction 6 times a day through reducing resistance;conventional distraction through reducing resistance;and conventional distraction (the control group). Each treatment was carried out in 10 sides. The pulp vitality, tooth mobility and distance of teeth transportation were evaluated at different time points:before the distraction, distraction after 15 days, retaining 30 days after 15 days of distraction. The degree of inclination, root resorption and alveolar bone density of the compressive areas were evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography images.
Results:The distance of teeth transportation was similar in groups distraction twice daily and 6 times a day through reducing resistance (P>0.05), but their speed of transportation was significantly higher than that of conventional distraction through reducing resistance. The conventional distraction group had the lowest speed of transportation. The pulp vitality of distracted teeth was normal, and no root comprehensive resorption and periodontal defect were found. Distracted teeth in the reduced resistance and distraction groups (13.9°±3.5°) tipped more that in the conventional distraction group (6.6°±1.3°) (P<0.05).
Conclusion:Reducing resistance and distraction are inseparable factors to realize fast teeth moving. The rate of orthodontic tooth movement can be accelerated through resistance reduction and periodontal distraction without obvious unfavorable effects but at minimal acceptable teeth inclination.

Objective To study the expression of the tumor suppressor gene TSHR and pl6 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and explore the relationship of the tumorigenesis and the promoter aberrant methylation of the two above genes. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of two tumor suppressor genes in 50 cases of PTC, 20 cases of nodular goiter and 12 cases of thyroid adenoma tissue. The promoter methylation status of the two genes were detected by methylation-specific PCR technique (MSP) (which of p16 by nested PCR). The promoter hypermethylation of the two genes was tested by randomly gene sequencing. Results Hypermethylation of promoter region were detected from 68.0 % (34/50) TSHR gene and 54.0 % (27/50) pl6 gene in PTC, while 21.9 % (7/32) and 15.60 % (5/32) in controls. The rate of promoter methylation in PTC was significantly higher than that in controls (χ2 = 16.61, P <0.05 vs χ2 =12.08 P <0.05). The relative mRNA expression of TSHR gene and pl6 gene were (0.41±0.11) and (0.51±0.17) in PTC, respectively, while those were (0.63 ±0.08) and (0.72 ±0.22) in controls, respectively. The mRNA expression of the TSHR gene and pl6 gene was obviously lower in PTC than that in controls (t = 3.86, P < 0.05 vs t =3.66, P <0.05). By the sequencing, it was confirmed that the CG in methylated promoter of the two genes was not changed, while the CG in unmethylated promoter was changed into TG. Conclusion Methylation of the TSHR gene and p16 gene in promoter region is a common molecule event and may be invovled in the genesis and development of human PTC.

Objective To study the expressions of the tumor suppressor gene TSH receptor( TSHR),P16, and RAS in papillary thyroid carcinoma ( PTC ) , and the correlation between the occurrence of tumor and the aberrant promoter hypermethylation of three tumor suppressor genes. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of three tumor suppressor genes in tissues of 50 cases of PTC ,20 cases of nodular goiter,and 12 cases of thyroid adenoma. The promoter methylation status of three tumor suppressor genes was examined by methylation-specific PCR technique( MSP). Gene sequencing was used to test if the hypermethylation existed in the promoter of three tumor suppressor genes. Results In 68.0% (34/50) TSHR gene, 54.0% (27/50) P16 gene, and 60.0% ( 30/50 ) RAS gene in PTCs, hypermethylation in promoter region was detected, the respective results 21.9% (7/32) , 15. 6% (5/32) ,and 31. 3% (10/32) were found in control tissues. The rates of the three genes with promoter hypermethylation in PTC were significantly higher than those in control tissues ( all P<0. 05). The mRNA expressions of TSHR,P16,and RAS were significantly lower in PTC than those in control tissues (0. 41 ± 0.11 vs 0.63±0. 08,0. 51±0. 17 vs 0. 72±0. 22,0. 56±0. 10 vs 0. 67±0. 16, all P<0. 05). The sequencing confirmed that there was CC to TC transmission in the promoters of three tumor suppressor genes. Conclusions The methylation of three tumor suppressor genes in promoter region is a common molecule event and may be involved in the genesis and development of human PTC.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum thyroxine level in obstructive sleep apnea-hy-popnea syndrome(OSAHS) patients and to assess the role of serum thyroxine in the development of OSAHS. Meth-ods Polysomnography was used to examine the patients with OSAHS and fasting plasma serum thyroxine level were higher in obese OSAHS patients than in obese controls[ (43.56±3.48)cm vs (38.33±3.08)cm,t =4. 258,P < 0.05 ], in non-obese OSAHS patients than in non-obese control group [ (40.50±1.05 )cm vs (36.17±3.13 )cm, t = 3. 146 ,P < 0.05 ] . The levels of FT3 was (6.35±3.15 ) pmol/L in obese OSAHS patients and ( 4.08±2.37 ) pmol/L in control subjects ( t = 2.203 ,P < 0.05 ). That was ( 3.42±0.57 ) pmol/L in non-obese OSAHS patients related with AHI and microarousal index (r = 0. 500, P < 0.05;r = 0.561, P < 0.05 ), and FT4 was also positively with neck circumference( t = 0.489, P < 0.05 ), TSH level was negatively correlated with neck circumference ( t = - 0.500, P < 0.05 ) and was positively correlated with the percentage of body fat ( r = 0.498, P < 0.05 ). Conclu-sions The FT3 levels are significantly higher in the OSAHS patients than that in control subjects, though all FT3 lev-els are normal, suggesting that there are possibility to have abnormal metabolism. At the same time, FT3 level is posi-tively correlated with neck circumference ,suggesting that the OSAHS patients' higher neck circumference is correla-ted with thyroxine.
