Moyamoya disease is a cerebrovascular disease that is characterized by the progressive stenosis in the terminal internal carotid artery, the anterior cerebral artery and the origin of the middle cerebral artery, and compensatory enlargement of basal perforating artery. Both the genetic and environmental factors involxe in its pathogenesis. but its exact cause is unknown. Revascularization is the main treatment approach for moyamoya disease. This article reviews the progress in research on epidemiology, etiology, diagnosis and treatment of moyamoya disease.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) neuroprotection by studying the effect of rhEPO on expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and BCL-2 following focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats. Methods A rat middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R) model was induced by the intraluminal filament method, and intraperitoneal injection of rhEPO was used for intervention. Histopathological changes were observed by HE staining, and the expressions of MMP-9 and BCL-2 in the cerebral cortex of ischemic side were detected with immunohisto-chemistry. Results HE staining: At all time points, the numbers of surviving nerve cells were significantly higher in the rhEPO group, and their injury degree was significantly lower. MMP-9 immunohistochemistry staining: The positive cells were observed occasionally in the normal control group and the sham-operation group; the MMP-9 positive cells at the ischemic side of brain tissue in a normal saline control group began to appear at 6 hours after reperfusion, it reached the peak at 24 hours and began to decrease at 72 hours; the change trend of MMP-9 positive cells in the rhEPO group was similar to that in the normal saline control group, but it was significantly lower than that in the normal saline control group at the same time points (t were 12. 023 6, 12. 635 0, 12. 779 6, respectively, all P <0. 01). BCL-2 immunohistochemistry staining: No positive cells were found in the normal control group and sham-operation group. The numbers of BCL-2 positive cells reached the peak at the ischemic side of brain tissue in the normal saline control group at 6 hours after reperfusion, it reached the peak at 24 hours and further decreased at 72 hours; the change trend of BCL-2 positive cells in the rhEPO group was similar to that in the normal saline control group, but it was significantly higher than that in the normal saline control group at the same time points (t were 5. 763 1,8. 110 1, and 5. 798 7, respectively, all P <0. 01). Conclusions rhEPO may inhibit cortical neuronal apop-tosis at the ischemic side by inhibiting MMP-9 expression and up-regulating BCL-2 expression so as to play a neuroprotective effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of Dicer knockdown on the proliferation,migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cell line TFK-1.Methods The study used liposome-mediated method to transfect Dicer-siRNA into TFK-1 cells.The mRNA and protein expressions of Dicer after transfection were detected by real-time PCR and western blot.CCK8 assay,scratch test and transwell assays were performed to analyze the influence on the proliferation,migration and invasion of cells,respectively.Results Compared with the control,Dicer mRNA level at 48 h and Dicer protein level at 96 h were both significantly reduced after transfection with Dicer-siRNA (P ＜ 0.01).CCK8 assay revealed that the absorbance value significantly increased at 72 h,96 h and 120 h after transfection (P ＜0.01).Scratch test and transwell assay showed that the migration ability and the number of invasive cells significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Dicer knockdown enhanced the proliferation,migration and invasion of cholangiocarcinoma cell line TFK-1.

At present, the assessment of the same hospital at the same time by different means may lead to different assessment results, viz. there may be a variety (inconsistency) of assessment results. This can be chiefly attributed to the variety of assessment systems, with different assessment indexes and assessment methods, and to the variety of people making the assessments and assessing environments. Integrated measures can be taken in order to render assessment results more accurate: ① refusing to have blind faith in any particular method; ② seeing clearly assessment goals and features; ③ properly selecting index systems for the assessment; ④ correctly fixing the weights for indexes; ⑤ appropriately selecting assessment methods; ⑥ making combined use of various methods; ⑦ pooling the results from different assessment methods.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of total glucosides of paeony(TGP) in the treatment of undifferentiated spondyloarthropathies(uSpA) and investigate its mechanism.Methods One hundred and sixteen cases of uSpA were randomly assigned to 2 groups,one group was treated with TGP and diclofenac sodium,the other group with SASP and diclofenac sodium.The efficacy and side effects of the two groups were compared after 12 weeks treatment.The level of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-? was determined at the same time.Result After 12 weeks treatment,the major clinical manifest and the indexes of disease activity were no difference of statistical significance in the two groups.The incidence of parenterally side effects was 8.6% in TGP group,and 25.9% in SASP group.There was difference at statistical significance between the two groups(? 2 =6.042,P=0.014).Before treatment,the level of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-? in the serum of two groups were no statistical difference,while there was obviously difference after 12 weeks treatment(t= 2.672,2.483 and 2.088,P=0.009,0.014 and 0.039).Conclusion The efficacy of TGP and SASP has no significant difference in the treatment of uSpA.But the incidence of parenterally side effects in the TGP group was less than SASP group.The mechanism of efficacy of TGP may be related to inhibiting the production of IL-6,IL-10 and TNF-?.

Objective:To develop a scale used to measure smoking-related attitudes in Chinese secondary school students. Methods:Based on literatures published in China and abroad and suggestions by relevant specialists and teachers, we developed a self-administered scale with 16-item used to measure smoking-related attitudes in Chinese secondary school students. Factor analysis was used to assess the construct validity of the scale. The differences of the scores between trying smokers and non-smoker, and males and females were tested for assessing the discriminant validity of the scale. Cronbach's alpha for the total scale and the sub-scales was calculated for evaluating the internal consistency, and the split-half reliability test analysis was also conducted. Moreover, 112 subjects were re-investigated after two weeks of the first survey, and the difference and correlation of scores between the two surveys were tested for assessing the stability of the scale. Results: Factor analysis identified two potential components that could explain 46.2% of the total variance, and the first factor including 9 items was defined as "The opinions to tobacco and smoking-related behaviors", and the second one including 7 items was defined as "The opinions to measures for preventing and controlling smoking". The mean score of the scale in non-smokers was significantly higher than that of the trying smokers, while the mean score in females was significantly higher than that in males. The Cronbach'? coefficient was 0.87 for Factor One, 0.75 for Factor Two, and 0.86 for the general scale, and the coefficient of the split-half reliability was 0.71 for Factor One, 0.59 for Factor Two, and 0.72 for the general scale. By analyzing the data of 112 students who participated in both surveys, we obtained test-retest reliability of factorⅠas 0.72, of factor Ⅱ as 0.44 and of all items as 0.67, and all the correlation coefficients were statistically significant. There were no differences for the scores of the scale between the two surveys. Conclusion: The results indicated that the smoking-related attitude scale had reasonable validity and reliability,It could provide valuable reference for future similar surveys in China.
