Objective To investigate the influence of impulsivity on the functions of the conflict monitoring and the conflict resolution process for heroin addicts.Methods 80 heroin addicts were drawn randomly using simple random sampling method and finished Opioid Addiction Severity Inventory ( OASI ) and Barratt Impulsivity Scale ( BIS-11) .High impulsivity group( 7 females of 22) and low impulsivity group (8 females of 21) were divided according to 27%of the total BIS-11score followed the grouping method in psychometrics.Then the event-related potentials (ERPs) technique with the classical color-word Stroop task was used to reveal the influence of impulsivity on the executive function for heroin addicts.Results ( 1) The scores of motor impulsivity(23.00±1.73) and no-plan impulsivity(27.77±3.22) were higher in high im-pulsivity group than those in low impulsivity group(19.31±2.80,23.38±3.59)(P<0.01);and there was posi-tive correlation between impulsivity and addiction severity( r=0.415, P<0.05).(2) The behavioral data showed significant Stroop interference effects in both groups(P<0.01).(3) ERPs data showed that there were significant incongruent-N450 and SP effects in the low impulsivity group,whereas incongruent N450 and SP effects disappeared in high impulsivity group ( Low impulsivity group incongruent vs congruent condition N450:(2.82±3.09)μV vs (4.51±2.77)μV, P<0.05; SP:(3.54±1.25)μV vs (2.84±1.03)μV, P<0.05;High impulsivity group incongruent vs congruent condition N450:(4.98±4.10)μV vs (3.39±3.31)μV, P<0.05;SP:(3.43±3.84)μV vs (4.66±4.53)μV, P<0.05).Conclusion The brain time-interval change of executive function such as the conflict monitoring and the conflict resolution process is influenced by the im-pulsivity levels of heroin addicts.

Objective: To research the expression of PTEN and its influence on biological ability in breast cancer cell in vivo. Methods: PTEN-shRNA plasmid was transtected into M231 breast cancer cells to knock down the expression of PTEN. The changes of PTEN expression, proliferation, adhesion and metastasis of PTEN knocked down cell were tested by western-blot, colony formation, adhesion and invasion assay. Results: PTEN-shRNA was successfully transfected into M231 cells and it inhibited PTEN expression efficiently.The capabilities of colony formation, migration and invasion of transfected cell were much greater than those of the controlling cell line. But the transfected cells were more difficulty in adhesion than the scrambled ones. Conclusion: PTEN genecan enhance the adhesion, but restrict the proliferation, migration of breast cancer cells in some degree, so that inhibit the development of the breast cancer. PTEN loss can be a prognostic factors for the patients with breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: Posterior internal fixation and fusion system is a main method for chronic back pain caused by intervertebral disc degeneration, but more postoperative adverse reactions occur. Dynamic stabilization system can reduce adjacent-segment degeneration, and theoretically, repair intervertebral disc degeneration.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of K-rod dynamic stabilization system in the repair of lumbar degenerative diseases.METHODS/DESIGN: We conducted a prospective, single-center, self-controlled, clinical trial at the Orthopedic Hospital of Shenyang, China. Sixty-seven patients with lumbar degenerative diseases were enrolled, and treated with K-rod dynamic stabilization system. All patients were followed for 2 years. The primary outcome was the changes in the Oswestry dysfunction index scores at baseline, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were the ratio of height vertebral space to body and lumbar lordotic angle at baseline, 3, 12 and 24 hours postoperatively; the visual analogue scale scores for back pain and morphological changes in the lumbar vertebrae on x-ray preoperatively and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after surgery; the incidence of adverse reactions at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively.This trial has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (identifier: NCT03214042). The study protocol has been approved by the Ethics Committee of Orthopedic Hospital of Shenyang. All protocols will be performed in accordance with the Ethical Principles for Medical Research Involving Human Subjects in the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent was provided by each patient after they indicated that they fully understood the treatment plan.DISCUSSION: This trial was designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of K-rod dynamic stabilization system for lumbar degenerative diseases, thus providing reference for its clinical application. Partial results demonstrated that the Oswestry Dysfunction Index and Visual Analogue Scale scores at 24 months postoperatively were significantly improved (P < 0.01), but the ratio of height vertebral space to body and lumbar lordotic angle did not differ significantly at different time points (P > 0.01). These results suggest that K-rod dynamic stabilization system can alleviate pain and improve lumbar function in the patients with lumbar degenerative diseases.

Objective To prepare recombinant human prothrombin-2 expressed in Pichia pastoris, and assay the enzymatic and clotting activities of prothrombin-2 activated by prothrombin activator ecarin.Methods Human prothrombin-2 gene and Echis carinatus ecarin gene were synthesized separately on the basis of the cDNA sequences published in GenBank.The gene of prothrombin-2 was cloned into the expression vector pPICZαA.The expression vector pPICZαA/prothrombin-2 was transformed into glycoengineered P.pastoris, and then prothrombin-2 engineered P.pastoris was screened.The expression products were induced by methanol, purified by two-step chromatography and identified by diges-tion by PNGase F and analysis of pepetide fingerprint.The ecarin gene was cloned into the expression vector pcDNA3.1. The expression vector pcDNA3.1/Ecarin was transformed into HEK 293T cells and the culture supernatant of HEK 293T/Ecarin was collected.The reaction product of HEK 293T/Ecarin cell culture supernatant and purified prothrombin-2 was analyzed by S-2238,which was the chromogenic substrate for thrombin.Fibrinogen was used to measure blood clotting time. Results The purified protein of P.pastoris expressed prothrombin-2 culture supernatant was 37 ×103 .The relative molecular mass(Mr) of the purified protein was reduced to 35 ×103, which was consistent with the theoretical Mr of prothrombin-2 molecular weight.The purified protein was proved to be prothrombin-2 by peptide fingerprint identification. The purified prothrombin-2 processed by HEK 293T/Ecarin culture supernatant could hydrolyze S-2238 to produce yellow pNA, and D405 of pNA increased with the volume of the processed prothrombin-2 that could promote the plasma coagulation.The blood clotting time was close to that of the thrombin kit.Conclusion Prothrombin-2 is prepared by P.pastoris and activated toα-thrombin by ecarin.This technique may replace the method of extraction of prothrombin from plasma and can be used for the treatment of war wounds or for future clinical research.
