Zebrafish as a new animal model is gradually being recognized. Easy fed, growing rapidly,transparent embryo, strong reproduction, especially similar with human in gene structure, body regulation patterns, and the development of organs and disease, all those characteristics make zebrafish significant in development of vertebrate animal and human disease. This review focuses on discussing the applications of the major organs of zebrafish in the studies of developmental pediatrics.

OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy and safety of flupentixol and melitracen combined with pregabalin in the treatment of painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy(PDPN). METHODS:150 cases diagnosed as PDPN were selected and ran-domly divided into control group A,control group B and combination group,with 50 cases in each group. All patients received ba-sic therapy such as the control of blood glucose,blood pressure and blood lipid. Control group A was additionally given mecobala-mine 1 mg added into 0.9% Sodium chloride solution,qd,ivgtt,2 weeks later,given Mecobalamine tablet 0.5 mg,po,tid;con-trol group B was additionally given pregabalin 75 mg,po,bid;combination group was additionally given Flupentixol and melitra-cen tablet,10 mg,bid,on the basis of control group B. 3 groups were given 4 weeks treatment. After treatment,VAS score, HAMD score,and SNCV and MNVC of median nerve and peroneal nerve were compared among 3 groups. Clinical efficacy and ADR were observed. RESULTS:After treatment,VAS score and HAMD score of combination group were significantly lower than control group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05). SNCV and MNCV of median nerve and peroneal nerve in combina-tion group were significantly higher than in control group A and B,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The effective rate of com-bination group(90.0%)was significantly higher than that of control group A(56.0%)and B(74.0%),with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05). No serious ADR was found in 3 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Flupentixol and melitracen combined with pregabalin have definite therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of PDPN with good safety.

Objective To investigate the association between serum Klotho and oxidative stress in metabolically healthy obese individuals. Methods 180 physicalexamination subjects were investigated. They were devided into 3 groups:60 cases of normal weight and metabolic normality,60 cases of metabolically healthy but obese( MHO) ,60 cases of obesity with metabolic syndrome. Fasting blood glucose(FBG),2 h blood glucose(2 hBG),triglyceride ( TG) ,high densitylipoprotein cholesterol( HDL-C) , systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure,body height, body weight,waist circumference,body mass index( BMI) were recorded. Malondialdehyde( MDA) ,superoxide dis-mutase( SOD) ,total antioxidation capacity( TAOC) ,Klotho were detected by ELISA. The difference of clinical pa-rameters,metabolic parameters,oxidative stress and Klotho among these three groups was compared by the methods of covariance analysis. Regression analysis and pearson correlation were used to evaluate the relationship of Klotho with oxidative stress. Results Compared with the control group, TAOC, SOD, Klotho were decreased significantly while MDA elevated significantly in both MHO group and obesity with metabolic syndrome group(P<0. 05). Com-pared with MHO group, TAOC, Klotho were significantly lower in obesity with metabolic syndrome ( P<0. 05 ) . Klotho protein was significantly positively associated with SOD, TAOC, negatively associated with waist circumfer-ence,BMI,FBG,2 hBG(r= -0. 182,-0. 225,-0. 221,-0. 202,-0. 188,P<0. 05). SOD,TAOC were deter-minants for Klotho. Conclusion The balancebetween oxidative and antioxidative system is disturbed in subjects with MHO. Klotho protein may maintain the normal metabolism of thebody by regulating the oxidative stress.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of brucine on multiple myeloma (MM) and to compare the effects between brucine and bontezomib on MM.MethodsMTT method was used to determine the median inhibitory concentratiom (IC50) of brucine and bortezomib on the MM cell line U266.The supernatant of cultured U266 cell line was added to the culture system for inducing the differentiation of osteoblast cell line MC3T3-E1.After aseptic assay,RT-PCR was used to determine the RNA levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP),osteocalcine (OC),osteoprotegerin (OPG) and recepter activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL).Results IC50 of bortezomib on U266 cell line for 48 h was 22.4 nmol/L,and that of strychnine was 0.16 nmol/L.The mRNA levels of ALP,OC and OPG in osteoblast co-intervened by brucine combined with the supernatant of MM cells were higher than those in supernatant of U266 cells,while the level of RANKL mRNA was lower (P ＜0.05).The degree of increasing or reducing was greater than the level of control group intervened only by bortezomib (P ＜0.05).ConclusionThe therapeutic effects of brucine on MM might be carried out through the regulation of osteoclast by osteoblast,and the experiment confirmed that the therapeutic effect of brucine on MM was superior to that of bortezomib.

Objective To identify the differentially expressed genes and functional enrichment pathways using bioin?formatics technology in mice who were acutely administered with Morphine. Methods First, we downloaded microarray da?tasets of mice which were acutely administered with Morphine from Gene Expression Omnibus, and assess the quality control parameters of the microarray datasets using AffyQCReport 1.42.0 package by R programming language 3.1.0 software. Subse?quently, the differentially expressed genes of the microarray datasets were identified using the linear models for microarray data of R language. Finally, functional pathways of the differentially expressed genes were enriched based on expression anal?ysis and systematic explorer. Results The microarray datasets showed preferable uniformity and intension similarity. A to?tal of 481 differentially expressed genes including Gm11627, Zfand4, Zbtb16, Pkp2 and Plin4 were identified. While 8 func?tional enrichment pathways, including pathways in cancer, melanogenesis and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling were revealed. Conclusion The differentially expressed genes and functional pathways were the underlying biomarkers of mice who were acutely administered with Morphine.

Methamphetamine (MA) is a highly addictive psychostimulant that has effects on central nervous system.Chronic MA useis linked to serious neurotoxic effects and ultimately cognitive impairments, thus understanding the effect of chronic MA use on cognitive function can improve the treatment of MA abusers and reduce MA relapse. In the present study, we summarized the main results of animal experiments, neuropsychological studies and brain imaging studies on MA abuse and cognitive impairment, which may provide the basis for future research and clinical treatment.

Objective To study the clinical significance of reticulocyte parameters change before and after chemotheraphy in acute leukemia.Methods Thirty-two chemotherapeutic patients suffered from acute leukemia were improved after chemotherapy.The percentage of reticulocyte(RET%),reticulocyte absolute value(RET#),low fluorescent reticulocyte percentage(LFR),middle fluorescent reticulocyte percentage(MRF),high fluorescent reticulocyte percentage(HFR),white blood cells(WBC) and absolute neutrophils count (ANC) and immature reticulocyte fraction(IRF) were detected by using the Sysmex 2000 automatic blood cell analyzer.Results IRF,MFR and HFR after chemotherapy in the patients with leukemia were always declined,reached the lowest on 7 d of chemotherapy,began to recover on 14 d after chemotherapy,and recovered to the level before chemotherapy on 21 d of chemotherapy.LFR began to increase on 7 d of chemotherapy,and began to decrease on 14 d of chemotherapy.WBC and RET# were always decreased on 7,14 d of chemotherapy,and began to recover on 21 d of chemotherapy.Conclusion IRF,MFR,HFR and LFR are the sensitive indicators reflecting the bone marrow recovery and are earlier than WBC and RET# by 7 d.
