2.Mechanisms of vascular vertigo triggered by vertebral artery dominance
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;19(11):876-880
Vascular vertigo is a common vertigo.Vertebral artery dominance is a vascular phenomenon,and its mechanism remains unclear.It causes basilar artery changes and hemodynamic changes in posterior circulation.Vertebral artery dominance may trigger vascular vertigo through a variety of mechanisms.

Recent studies have demonstrated that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for stroke,which may cause vascular endothelial injury by multiple mechanisms,destroy blood coagulation and fibrinolytic systems,and influence on lipid metabolism.Methylenetetra hydrofolate reductase(MTHFR)is a key enzyme of homocysteine metabolic pathway in the human body.If it is insufficient or its activity decreases,it will directly result in the accumula tion of homocysteine in the human body,and callse hyperhomocysteinemia.Although a number of studies have found that MTHFR gene mutation is the main cause of MTHFR insufficient and its activity decrease,the correlation between MTHFR gene mutation and ischemic cerebral vascular disease is quite controversial now.This article reviews the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and ischemic stroke.

Basilar artery hypoplasia (BAH) has been paid less attention to in the past.However,the increased detection rate makes the clinical significance of BAH to be gradually recognized.BAH have interaction with vascular risk factors,and this may promote the occurrence of ischemic events in posterior circulation.Brain evoked potential can be used as an important means for early detection of this pathophysiological events.The depth study of pathological significance of BAH helps to deepen the understanding of the mechanisms of posterior circulation ischemic events.
6.Research progress of induced pluripotent stem cells and its bottleneck
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(45):7358-7363
BACKGROUND:With the development of the research, induced pluripotent stem cel s are applied to the build of disease model, drug screening, regenerative medicine, and many other research fields, and have made significant achievements, especial y in the study of nervous system diseases.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the recent development of induced pluripotent stem cel s and to raise problems and prospects based on the latest research in this field.
METHODS:The first author searched the PubMed database for articles about the induced pluripotent stem cel s, including reviews, clinical research and basic research, published from January 2006 to September 2014. The keywords were“iPS, induced pluripotent stem cel”, and final y 60 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Induced pluripotent stem cel research continues to make breakthrough from its discovery by Yamanaka’s team in 2006 to winning Nobel Prize in 2012. Induced pluripotent stem cel research has broad prospects in the disease model construction, drug screening and regenerative medicine. Currently, problems such as reprogramming methods, cel stability, and clinical transformation stil need to be solved, and further researches are necessary.

Objective To study the interventional therapeutic methods in Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) complicated with thrombosis. Methods Eighteen patients of BCS complicated with thrombosis, including 2 cases of hepatic vein (HV) occlusion and 16 cases of inferior vena cava (IVC) occlusion, were treated. Therapeutic methods were anti coagulation with Co Danshen and aspirin in 10 cases or the anti coagulation and thrombolysis with urokinase in 8 cases before operation, treatment with PTA and stent during operation,and thrombolysis with urokinase and the anti coagulation after operation. Results Technical success was achieved in all patients without serious complications. The mean blood pressure in IVC dropped from (31 82?0 52)cm H 2O(1 cm H 2O= 0 098 kPa) to (18 17?0 38)cm H 2O immediately after the procedure. The blood pressure in HV dropped from 42 cm H 2O and 41 cm H 2O to 15 cm H 2O and 16 cm H 2O, respectively. All 18 cases were followed up for an average of 38 months (range 6-72 months). The main symptoms and signs completely disappeared in 12 cases and partially alleviated in 6 cases. Conclusion The interventional treatment of BCS complicated with thrombosis was a safe and effective method.

The effects of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) on number and activity of vascular endothelial cells (VEC) from hone marrow stem cells (BMSC) of mice were investigated. 100 μ/ml AGEs markedly inhibited differentiation of BMSC into VEC with decreased vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 positive cells, hut 20 μg/ml AGEs had no effect.

BACKGROUND:The long-term contraction of skeletal muscle can lead to the decrease of resting potential, affect its contraction, and result in the occurrence of fatigue. Whether acupuncture and injury-free magnetic lifting needle are effective on the recovery of resting potential? OBJECTIVE: To observe and compare the influence on the recovery of resting potential of skeletal muscle by taking acupuncture and magnetic needle as the recovery means.DESIGN: A controlled study.SETTINGS: College of Physical Education, Shanxi Normal University;Binzhou College of Shandong Province.MATERIALS: Thirty experimental toads, which were provided by Beijing University of Physical Education, were randomly divided into acupuncture group (n=10), magnetic needle group (n=10), magnetic needle+pressing group (n=10). Left and right semitendinosus muscles were taken as controls.METHODS: The in vitro toad's semitendinosus muscles (experimental side and control side) were treated with electrostimulation for 40 minutes,and then the resting potential of skeletal muscular cells were measured with the intracellular glass microelectrode technique. After the electrostimulation, filiform needle acupuncture, magnetic needle, magnetic needle plus pressing were also given.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The resting potentials were observed before exercise, after electrostimulation and other treatments in the groups.RESULTS: ① The resting potentials of skeletal muscular cells after electrostimulation were decreased as compared with those before electrostimulation [experimental side: (59.48±7.37), (84.54±5.72) mV; control side:(59.43±7.14), (83.62±5.86) mV]. ② After the treatments of acupuncture,magnetic lifting needle, magnetic lifting needle plus pressing, the decreased resting potentials after electrostimulation were obviously recovered (P < 0.01). ③ The recovered percentage of resting potential in the magnetic needle group was obviously smaller than those in the acupuncture group and magnetic needle+pressing group [(42.50±12.41)%, (53.71±10.93)%,(49.10±8.39)%, P < 0. 01].CONCLUSION: Acupuncture, magnetic lifting needle, magnetic lifting needle plus pressing plays a role in promoting the recovery of resting potential of skeletal muscular cells after long-term electrostimulation, and the effect of simple magnetic needle is smaller than that of acupuncture and magnetic needle plus pressing.
