Objective To investigate the efficacy of treatment and prevention of VitE on vacuous chewing move-ments (VCMs) of haloperidol-induced tardive dyskinesia (TD) rats and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic fac-tor ( BDNF) and total antioxidant capacity ( TAC) , and to explore the possible mechanisms.Methods Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into TD, P-Vit E, T-Vit E and control group (n=8), receiving to-week treatment with Haloperidol (Hal)+NS, Hal+Vit E (medicated at the baseline), Hal+VitE (medicated at the fifth week) or normal saline (NS), respectively.VCM was evaluated at each week.ELISA and spectrophotometer were used to detect the serum levels of BDNF and TAC, respectively.Results The VCM score of both TD group and T-Vit E group increased at the 2nd weekend, reached the peak at the 5th weekend.VCM score of T-Vit E group declined gradually at the 6th weekend and was significantly lower than that in the TD group [(6.5 ±3.3) vs.(27.9 ±5.8), P<0.001] but was not significantly different from the control group (3.5 ±1.9) (P>0.05) at the 10th weekend.There was no significant difference in VCM score between P-Vit E group and control group for ten weeks(P>0.05).At the 10th weekend, serum BDNF [(6.9 ±1.0) pg/mL] and TAC [(11.9 ±3.2) U/mL] levels of TD group were significantly lower than those of the controls [BDNF (8.6 ±2.5) pg/mL, TAC (18.2 ±5.5) U/mL] and T-Vit E group [BDNF (8.7 ±2.0) pg/mL, (18.6 ±5.9) U/mL] (P<0.01).However, there was no significant difference in the BDNF and TAC levels between TD and P-Vit E groups (P>0.05).Conclusions Vit E may relieve and prevent VCM in TD model rats though alleviation of free radical damage.

Objective:To investigate the roles of S100B protein and anti-brain antibody (ABAb) in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by analyzing the changes of the serum levels of S100B and ABAb and the relationships of the measures with cognition deficits in patients with AD.Methods:In this study,32 patients with AD(AD group) and 40 age-matched volunteers without cognitive impairment(control group) were enrolled.The diagnosis was made according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition (DSM-Ⅳ).The mental and social functional conditions were assessed with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Activity of Daily Living Scale(ADL),the cognitive function of patients was evaluated with the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale(ADAS-Cog).The serum S100B proteinand ABAb levels were examined by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay(ELISA).Results:The serum S100B protein[(0.66 ± 0.17) μg/L vs.(0.30 ± 0.04)μg/L] and ABAb [(1.93 ± 0.95) U/L vs.(1.31 ± 0.25) U/L] levels were higher in AD patients than in the controls (Ps < 0.01).In AD patients,the serum S 100B protein markedly negatively correlated with the scores of the MMSE(r =-0.66),while positively correlated with ADL and ADAS-Cog(r =0.57,r =0.53)(Ps < 0.005).ABAb levels negatively correlated with the scores of the MMSE(r =-0.57),while positively correlated with ADL and ADAS-Cog(r =0.52,r =0.34)(Ps <0.05).The serum S100B protein levels were positively related to ABAb levels in AD group(r =0.51.P <0.005),but not in control group(r =0.076,P =0.654).Conclusions:It suggests that the serum levels of S100B protein and ABAb are related with cognitive function in patients with Alzheimer's disease,and S100B protein and ABAb might play key roles in mechanism of Alzheimer's disease.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of pathological diagnosis by using ultrasound-guided percutaneous needle core biopsy (PNCB) for cervical lymph lesions.MethodsTwo hundred and ten patients with cervical lymph lesions underwent ultrasound-guided PNCB,and pathological diagnosis were made based on core biopsy material.The results of study were concluded by comparing the pathological diagnosis from core biopsy of the lymph nodes with those from excision biopsy. Results There were 210 patients underwent ultrasound- guided PNCB,98.6% (207/210) cases of core biopsies yielded adequate material at first time and 92.9% (195/210) cases of those had pathologic diagnosis.The accuracy of ultrasound-guided PNCB in differentiating benign from malignant lymphadenopathy was 99.4% ( 194/195 ).The diagnostic accuracy of metastatic tumor and lymphoma by ultrasound-guided PNCB was 96.4% (135/140) and 86.1% (31/36),respectively.Only 67.7% (21/31) patients with lymphoma could be classified by ultrasound-guided PNCB.ConclusionUltrasound-guided PNCB in patients with neck lymph lesions is a safe,convenient and quick procedure that has a high diagnosis accuracy.Ultrasound-guided PNCB can replace the open surgery for neck lymph node diagnostic method.Due to the complicated and diverse pathologic performance,lymphoma should be cut by open surgery to confirm the diagnosis and classification.

Objective To clarify the impact of GATA2 overexpression on transcriptional expression in chicken preadipocytes.Methods Chicken preadipocytes ICP1 were cultivated,pCMV-myc-GATA2 or pCMV-myc plasmid was transfected,Western blot was used to verify the overexpression of GATA2 in cells,RNA-seq was used to study the changes in cell transcriptome expression caused by overexpression of GATA2,ChIP-seq was used to study the binding of GATA2 in the genome,Real time PCR was used to verify some differentially expressed genes,ChIP-PCR was used to verify the collection of GATA2 to TAF3 genes.Results Transfection of pCMV-myc-GATA2 allowed overexpression of GATA2 protein in ICP1 cells;overexpression of GATA2 resulted in up-regulation of 942 genes and down-regulation of 840 genes in ICP1 cells(P<0.05),and enrichment analysis showed that differentially ex-pressed genes were associated with ribosome and mitochondrial structure and function(P<0.01);GESA analysis showed that the expression of GATA2-overexpressing ICP1 cells showed up-regulation of RNA polymerase Ⅱ tran-scription initiation complex,ribosome biogenesis,propionate metabolism,and oxidative phosphorylation-related gene sets,and down-regulation of histone lysine N-methyltransferase,nuclear transcription repression complex formation,adipokines,and calcium ions signaling pathway-related gene sets.ChIP-seq in ICP1 cells identified 2833 GATA2-binding genomic peaks involving 2018 genes.motif analysis revealed GATA2-binding(T/A)GATA motifs;enrich-ment analysis showed that these genes are involved in embryonic development,signaling,cellular metabolism,and cell-cell interactions.Differently expressed genes and GATA2-binding genes were taken to intersect to obtain 105 genes,and enrichment analysis showed that these genes were associated with transcription,post-transcriptional regu-lation,cell-cell interactions,signaling,and cell cycle(P<0.001).Conclusion GATA2 can at least bind to the genome of chicken preadipocytes to regulate their transcriptome expression patterns.

Objective:
Comparison of effects of Zingiberis Rhizoma and Aristolochia manshuriensis on diuretic effect and acute renal injury in rats by combining two methods of co-decoction and mixed-decoction. The effects of in vitro observation on normal human renal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) were observed.
Methods:
The rats were randomly divided into five groups: blank group, positive control group, aristolochia manshuriensis group, combined decoction group and divided decoction group, 8 rats in each group. The water-loading rat model was established by intragastric administration of normal saline. The urine of rats was collected and the volumes of urine were measured for 24 hours after the corresponding drugs were given to each group. After 2 weeks of gavage of the corresponding drugs in each group, the serum BUN, SCr and urine UCr and PRO levels were measured by 7600P automatic biochemical analyzer, and renal histopathology were observed by HE staining. The HK-2 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into control group, Aristolochia manshuriensis group, mixed decoction group and sub-decoction group. After 24 hour intervention, the activity of cells was detected by CCK-8 method and the apoptosis was observed by Hoechst stain method.
Results:
There was no significant difference in 24 hour urine output between the groups (
