Objective The anti-amyloidogenic effects of Curcumin had been clearly certified, Whether the anti-amyliodogenic effects were mediated through the modulation of BACE1 activity was addressed. Methods SwAPP-HEK293 cells were incubated for 24h without or with 5μM curcumin mix, Cur, DMC and BDMC respectively, then the cells were collected for the cell viability evaluation by using MTT analysis and for the BACE1 activity evaluation by theβ-Secretase Activity Fluorometric Assay Kit. Results The cell viability of swAPPHEK293 cells was unchanged after cur-cuminoids incubation; All of Curcumin mix, Cur, DMC and BDMC could decreased the BACE1 activity, Cur was the most active in suppressing BACE1 activity, and the inhibition strength of others in order was DMC>COM>BDMC. Con-clusion This paper indicate that the anti-amyloidogenic effects of curcumin mix,Cur ,DMC,BDMC may be through the in-hibition of BACE1 activity.

Objective To study the prevalence of food intolerance and to explore its related factors among adult health check-up receivers.Methods A total of 863 adults who took physical examinations in our hospital from April to October 2011 were enrolled in this investigation.Height,body weight and blood pressure were measured,and serum IgG level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The total positive rate of food intolerance was 73％,and the leading intolerance items were crab (40.1％ ),egg (29.8％ ),cod fish ( 21.6％ ),milk ( 20.0％ ) and soybean ( 14.4％ ).Females showed significantly higher prevalence of food intolerance than males.Various positive rate of milk or soybean intolerance was found in different age groups.No correlations of serum specific IgG with body mass index and systolic or diastolic blood pressure were observed.In logistic regression analysis,the odds ratio of food intolerance of women was 1.67 ( 95 ％ confidence interval 1.190 to 2.607 ).ConclusionsThe prevalence rate of food intolerance was high.The risk for food intolerance was significantly increased in women.Specific IgG antibody detection may help to early prevent and diagnose food intolerance-related diseases.

Objective To explore the clinical features,electroneurophysiology,neuroimaging and gene characteristics of one juvenile dentatorubral-pallidoluysian atrophy (DRPLA) pedigree with an onset of epilepsy.Methods The clinical data of the elder sister and younger brother in a family with juvenile DRPLA were collected.Furthermore,their clinical manifestations,electroneurophysiology results,neuroimaging characteristics and atrophin-1 gene CAG repeat numbers were detected and analyzed in detail.Results There were four patients in this family in total.The probands were two siblings,and they both had the onset manifestation of epilepsy.The younger brother had frequently epileptic seizure,marked cerebellar ataxia,involuntary movement and mental retardation.Compared with her younger brother,the sister had light symptoms such as mild memory deterioration without ataxia and involuntary movement,and she could undertake some simple work.The spike wave and sharp wave complex can be detected in electroencephalogram (EEG) examination,the cortical center segment lesions pathological changes were revealed in somatosensory evoked potentials (EP),and the latency period of P300 was prolonged in the both siblings.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed that the younger brother had marked atrophies in the cerebral cortex,brainstem and cerebellum.Furthermore,MRI showed that the elder sister had only mild atrophies in the cerebral cortex,brainstem and cerebellum,and that on the contrary some abnormally high signals were observed in cerebral cortex but not white matter.DRPLA gene detection revealed that the numbers of CAG repeats were 15/68 (the younger brother) and 15/64 (the elder sister),respectively.Conclusions Epilepsy,especially the myoclonus,is a common clinical manifestation for juvenile DRPLA,and many other types of epileptic seizures may arise with the development of DRPLA.DRPLA has diverse clinical heterogeneity.EEG,EP and brain MRI examination are great for DRPLA diagnosis and differential diagnosis,and the specific gene detection can be helpful for a definitive diagnosis.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of 25(OH)D level in children with ASD and its correlation with clinical features. Methods: A total of 196 children with ASD who received outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation training from January 2017 to January 2019 were included in ASD group, and 178 healthy children who visited the hospital during the same period were included in healthy control group. Differences in 25(OH)D levels and general data between study group and healthy control group were compared. In addition, ASD group was divided into 25(OH)D normal group and abnormal group in accordance with 25(OH)D level (≥30 ng/mL). Differences in general data, total score of CARS scale and factor scores were compared between two groups. Finally, the correlation between serum 25(OH)D level and CARS total score and factor scores of children with ASD was evaluated. Results: 25(OH)D level in ASD group was significantly lower than that in healthy control group (P<0.01). The incidence of sleep disorder, dietary bias, vomiting, constipation and diarrhea in children with ASD was statistically significant compared with that of healthy children (P<0.01); there were statistically significant differences in breastfeeding, sleep disorder, dietary bias and diarrhea between 25(OH)D normal group and abnormal group (χ2=4.97，8.69,6.67,3.98,P<0.05); there were statistically significant differences in 10 aspects including CARS total score, interpersonal relationship, imitation, emotional response, physical use ability, relationship with inanimate objects, adaptation to environmental changes, visual response, auditory response and general impression (P<0.05); there was a significant negative correlation between serum 25(OH)D level and CARS total score in children with ASD (r=-0.32, P<0.01). Conclusion Breastfeeding could reduce the risk of 25(OH)D abnormalities in children with ASD. 25(OH)D reduction would cause sleep disorder, dietary bias and gastrointestinal problems, while dietary bias and gastrointestinal problems would affect 25(OH)D uptake and absorption. 25(OH)D might be related to the occurrence of ASD in children. Serum 25(OH)D level could be used as a reference index for the severity of ASD in children.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of individualized interferon (IFN)-alpha therapy in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients. Methods Seventy- six Chinese HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients proven by liver biopsy were treated with 5 MU recombinant IFN-alpha 1b subcutaneously thrice every week. All the patients were followed up for at least 24 months the combined responses were defined as normalization of serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and HBV DNA＜3 log10 copy/mL. An intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis was used in this paper in which all 76 patients were included. Results Six patients were lost. Treatment duration was in the range 2-24 months with a median of 8.5 months, and combined responses were achieved at a median of 6.0 months (range 2-19 months) of treatment duration.Seventy-five-percentile of treatment duration to endpoints was 10.0 months. The combined response rate was 46.1% (35/76) at the end of treatment, 43.3% (33/76) at 12-month follow-up and 40.8% (31/76) at 24-month follow-up. The relapse rate was 20. 0% (7/35) and 25. 7% (9/35) at 12-month and 24-month follow-up, respectively. Higher necroinflammatory activity in liver biopsy predicted a good response, while gender, age, liver fibrosis, baseline ALT, aspartate aminotransferase levels and baseline HBV DNA levels were not impact factors of therapeutic effects by binary Logistic regression analysis.Conclusion Individualized prolonged IFN-alpha regimen lead to considerable sustained disease suppression in patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B.

Objective:To evaluate the volume changes of cervical longus and cervical extensor after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), and the correlation with the clinical efficacy of patients.Methods:All of 57 patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy who underwent single-segment ACDF surgery from January 2013 to December 2018 were analyzed. The follow-up time was 23.0±4.8 months (range 16-34 months). All included subjects underwent MR examination within 1 week before operation and 3rd, 12th months after operation and at the last follow-up. The axial section cross section area (AxCSA) of the cervical longus and the ratio of length to short diameter line (RLS) at the level of each disc of C 2-C 7 were measured on the axial T2WI. Calculate the volume of the cervical longus based on the layer thickness. At the same time, measure the cervical extensor cross-sectional area (CESA) of the same level including the multifidus, cervical semispinous muscle, semispinous head, splinter head, and cervical splinter muscles, and compare CESA with the corresponding vertebral cross-sectional area (VBA). The ratio is analyzed as the volume of the neck extensor muscle, namely CESA/VBA. At the 3rd and 12th months after operation and at the last follow-up, the axial pain was assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) for assessing pain, and the modified Japanese Orthopedic Association score (mJOA) and the neck dysfunction index (NDI) were used to assess the functional status of the cervical spine. Analyze the morphological changes of thecervical longus and extensor cervical muscles before and after the operation and during the follow-up period, and analyze the correlation with VAS, mJOA, and NDI. Results:Compared with the preoperative period, the average AxCSA of the surgical segment decreased at the 3rd and 12th months after the operation and at the last follow-up. The difference was statistically significant ( F=24.113, P<0.05), which was changed from 140.84±19.51 mm 2 respectively reduce to 117.74±17.15 mm 2 ( t=6.714, P<0.05), 116.37±18.67 mm 2 ( t=6.841, P<0.05) and 116.27±18.65 mm 2 ( t=6.873, P<0.05). Compared with preoperatively, they were reduced by 16.40%, 17.37% and 17.45%, respectively, while the average RLS of surgical segments increased slightly, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=22.612, P<0.05), which increased from preoperative 1.97±0.67 to 2.73±0.60 (38.58% increased, t=6.380, P<0.05), 2.82±0.64 (43.15% increased, t=6.926, P<0.05) and 2.74±0.62 (39.09% increased, t=6.368, P<0.05). The volume of thecervical longus of the patients decreased after the operation, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=64.511, P<0.05), which decreased from 8853.48±458.65 mm 3 before the operation to 7834.53±461.59 mm 3 (11.51% decreased, t=11.822, P<0.05), 7926.42±456.24 mm 3 (10.47% decreased, t=10.819, P<0.05), 7892.38±450.78 mm 3 (10.86% decreased, t=11.283, P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the non-surgical segment AxCSA, RLS and the volume of thecervical longus at the 3rd and 12th months after surgery and the last follow-up ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference of CESA and CESA/VBA compared to preoperative in the surgical segment and non-surgical segment ( P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the volume of cervical longus and VAS at the 3rd month ( r=-0.308, P<0.05), the 12th month ( r=-0.210, P<0.05) and the last follow-up ( r=-0.404, P<0.05) were negatively correlated; Among the volume of cervical longus and NDI in the 3rd month ( r=-0.511, P<0.05), 12th month ( r=-0.518, P<0.05) and the last follow-up ( r=-0.352, P<0.05), there was a negative correlation; However, there was no statistically significant correlation between the cervical longus muscle volume and mJOA at each follow-up time point ( P>0.05); There was no significant correlation between CESA/VBA and VAS, NDI, and mJOA at the 3rd, 12th and last follow-up ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The volume and morphology of cervical longus after ACDF was significantly reduced compared with that before the operation, but the volume and morphology of the cervical extensor muscle did not change significantly. ACDF surgery mainly affects the cervical longus corresponding to the surgical segment, and the volume is negatively correlated with the VAS and NDI during follow-up.
