OBJECTIVE: Apolipoprotein (Apo) E- ε 4 is the first identified important susceptible gene of late-onset family and sporadic Alzheimer disease. Apo E E4 or ε 4 chained other genetic products probably play a certain actions in occurrence of Alzheimer disease, but their biological basis is unknown.To explain the relevant biological mechanism between ApoE and Alzheimer disease is still the key in next study.DATA SOURCE: Computer Medline database is used to search the relevant papers from January 1978 to January 1999, with the words of "develop", "ApoE" and "Alzheimer", limited in English version. Simultaneously, the relevant papers are looked up from China Journal Databasefrom January 1978 to December 2003, with the words of "ApoE, Alzheimer disease and development", limited in Chinese version.STUDY SELECTION: Preliminary examination is done to the data. Inclusive criteria: relevant papers on ApoE gene and Alzheimer disease, including the study of both animal experiment and clinical basic research.Exclusive criteria: repeated study, summarized and Meta analysis papers.DATA EXTRACTION: Totally 55 relevant papers are collected, of which, 20 papers are included and 33 papers are excluded due to repeated experiment and summarized papers.DATA SYNTHESIS: Of 20 experiments, 16 experiments explain that ApoE E4 or ε 4 chained other genetic products probably play a certain actions in occurrence of Alzheimer disease and 4 researches propose that ApoE- ε 4 is the susceptible gene of Alzheimer disease.CONCLUSION: It is viewed in majority at present that ApoE genotype determination cannot substitute any clinical and imaging diagnostic method, which is probably onlya kind of assistant diagnosis to improve the specialty in clinical diagnosis. Beingthe susceptible gene of Alzheimer disease, ApoE- ε 4 is the important discovery in its research no doubt, but,many relevant questions are still at experimental and hypothesis stages. In the future, the great consideration should be still drawn on ApoE genotype determination of Alzheimer disease.

Objective To discuss incidence and related risk factors of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) after acute subcortical infarction (SI).Methods One hundred and eighty-two patients with acute SI were divided into two groups:VCI group (81 cases) and no-VCI group ( 101 cases) according to VCI diagnostic standard.Sex proportion,age,culture degree between two groups were compared,and correlation was analyzed between the quantity of risk factors and the incidence of VCI.Results The incidence of VCI after acute SI was 44.5％(81/182).According to age stratification,the incidence of VCI in the patients of 56-65 years was 35.4％ (23/65),in the patients of 66-75 years was 45.3％ (48/106),and in the patients of 76-85 years was 90.9％ (10/11 ).The age in VCI group was significantly higher than that in no-VCI group [(69.93 ±6.91) years vs. (67.62 ±5.56) years,P =0.014],and culture degree was significantly lower than that in no-VCI group (P =0.028).The sex proportion between two groups had no significant difference (P =0.876).The more accompanying risk factors,the higher incidence of VCI.Conclusions Along with the increase of age,the incidence of VCI after acute SI is higher.The more accompanying risk factors,the higher incidence of VCI.

There are a number of potassium channels on the cerebrovascular smooth muscle cell membrane, generally they are divided to 4 categories: voltage-gated potassium channels, calcium-activated potassium channels, inward rectifier potassium channels and ATP sensitive potassium channels. They can modulate cerebrovascular tone, so as to impact on cerebral blood flow to adapt to different situations of physiological pathology. The structure and function of potassium channels change after subarachnoid hemorrhage, These changes may be associated with the occurrence and development of cerebral vasospasm. The application of potassium channel opener may relax cerebrovascular smooth muscle and attenuate cerebral vasospasm.

Objective To investigate the effect of aminoguanidine and tienam on bacterial translocation in mice with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and the preventive and curative effect on pancreatic infection. Methods 50 SD mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, including group A: normal control (n=10), group B: ANP group (n=10), group C: aminoguanidine treatment group (n=10), group D: tienam treatment group (n=10), and group E: aminoguanidine plus tienam treatment group (n=10). ANP was induced by intrapancreatic injection of 5% sodium tanrocholate (2.5 ml/kg). Aminoguanidine (100 mg/kg) was injected intraperitioneally 30 minutes after ANP induction, tienam (60 mg/kg) was injected intraperitioneally 6 hours after ANP induction. The mice were killed at 48 hours, and serum amylase, serum D- lactate, pancreatic MPO were measured. Pathological alterations in the pancreas were examed. The pancreas, liver, blood, mesenteric lymph node and ascites were collected for microbiological study. Results In group C and E, the levels of serum amylase were 91173.30±199.73) U/L and (1075.00±200.40) U/L; the serum D-lactate were (7.165±1.2533) μg/ml and (6.980±1.060)μg./ml; the pancreatic MPO were (0.8035±0.0711) U/g wet film and (0.7765±0.0843 ) U/g wet film; the average bacterial positive rates were 20% and 16%. In group B, the serum amylase was (2234.60±692.06 )U/L;the serum D-lactate was (12.408±1.779)μg,/ml, the pancreatic MPO was (1.5942±0.1965) U/g wet film; the average bacterial positive rate were 60%. The differences between group C, E and group B were statistically significant (P＜ 0.05). In group D, the pancreatic MPO was (0.8002±0.0603 ) U/g wet film and the the average bacterial positive rate was 18%, and they were statistically different when compared with those of group B (P±0.05). While in group D, the serum amylase and D-lactate was not statistically different when compared with those of group B (P＞0.05). There were lamellar necrosis in the parenchyma, hyperaemia and leukocytic infiltrate in the pancreatic mesenchyma in the ANP group, while no leukocytic infiltrating in group C, D, E was found. Conclusions The aminoguanidine and tienam might decrease gut bacterial translocation and prevent pancreatic infection in ANP.

β-catenin is an important signaling transduetion and adhesion molecules.Mutation of the betacatenin gene,CTNNB1,is a common case in pediatric tumors,which may induce development and metastasis.In hepatoblastoma,48%have CTNNB1 mutation.In Wilms tumor,mutation only occurs in cases with WT1 gene mutation.In neuroblastoma,mutation is also found.

AIM: To clarify the role and mechanism of hippocampus in the formation of P3-like. METHODS: (1) The hippocampal and parietal P3-like were simultaneously recorded by chronically implanted electrodes in rats. (2) In forebrain ischemia/reperfusion model, the effects of the selective damage of hippocampal CA1 subfield on the hippocampal and parietal P3-like were examined. (3) The changes of hippocampal and parietal P3-like after the inhibition of acetylcholine activity in the septo-hippocampal pathway by intraperitoneal injection of atropine (30 mg/kg) were also detected. (4) The changes of conditional active avoidance response was tested by shuttle-box following forebrain ischemia/reperfusion. RESULTS: (1) The peak latencies of hippocampal and parietal P3-like were prolonged after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion. (2) The polarity of hippocampal P3-like were reversed after the inhibition of acetylcholine activity in the septo-hippocampal pathway by atropine. (3) The prolongation of P3-like peak latency was closely related to the lowering of the score of conditional active avoidance response after forebrain ischemia/reperfusion. CONCLUSION: (1) The formation of P3-like depends on the integrity of hippocampus formation. (2) Hippocampus is not the only generator of P3-like, P3-like could be produced in multiple way. (3) The activity of acetylcholine in the septo-hippocampal pathway has notable effects on the formation of P3-like. (4) P3-like could be used as the sensitive marker of cognitive function.

Objectives To establish a sensitive and special method for the detection of Ureaplasma urealyticum(Uu) using PCR microplate hybridization (PCR MPH). Methods A primer of ureasea gene was labeled by biotin. The amplification product was captured on streptavidin coated microplates, then products were quantified by hybridization with a digoxigenin labeled internal oligonucleotide probe. After revelation with an anti digoxigenin alkaline phosphatase coupled antibody(anti DIG AP), the amount was determined by optical reading. At the same time, PCR MPH was compared with Bio Merieux Mycosplasma IST. Results A method of PCR MPH for detecting Uu DNA was established. The morbidity among three groups for detecting 158 clinical samples was analysed. 65 were detected by PCR MPH and 56 by culture.Conclusion The results showed that this assay is rapid, sensitive, specific, and accurate, and is of value in clinical therapy.
