Methods Using MMSE,36 pastients with primary brain glioma were subjected to the cognitive assessment before surgery, after surgery,and 3 monthsr after surgery. Results The quantitative cognitive assessments with MMSE before surgery revealed the hidden cognitive dysfunction patients.The quantitative cognitive assessments after surgery showed that surgeons might need to protect the non-function area and to form the idea of cognitive function in patients with glioma.Conclusion MMSE assessment is a simple,understandably,and convenient method having good compliance of patient. It may be effectively used to assess cognitive impairment for patients with glioma and worth being studied continuously and used widely in the clinic practice.

Objective To construct a new recombinant immunotoxin expression vector by using human VEGF165 and a truncated pseudomonas exotoxin A ramification (PE38) gene, and explore the expression of the VEGF165-PE38 fusion protein in HEK293 cells. Methods VEGF165 was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PE38 gene was gained from an vector plasmid pRB391 by restriction endonuclease digestion, and then inserted to the eukaryotic expression vector pIRES2-EGFP. After the eukaryotic recombinant vector pIRES2-VEGF165-PE38-EGFP was identified by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequence analysis, the vector was transfected into HEK293 cells by liposome protocol. RT-PCR and ELISA method was used to confirm the expression of the fusion gene in the HEK293 cells. Results Restriction endonuclease digestion and sequence analysis revealed the VEGF165-PE38 fusion gene was cloned into the eukaryotic expression plasmid vector pIRES2-EGFP successfully. The pIRES2-VEGF165-PE38-EGFP fusion gene could express in the HEK293 cells. Conclusion The result provide the basis for search of the targeted cytotoxic activity to tumor vascular endothelial cells and may have some potential value in clinical application.

Objective:To detect the expression level of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group F member 2-antisense RNA 1 (NR2F2-AS1) and microRNA-129-5p (miR-129-5p) in glioma tissues and to explore its clinical significance.Methods:The glioma tissues of 103 patients with glioma who underwent surgical treatment in the neurosurgery department of Shanxi Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2015 to September 2016 and 50 normal brain tissues removed due to craniocerebral surgery in the same period were selected as the research objects. Real time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the expression levels of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 and miR-129-5p in tissue samples. The correlation between the two indexes and the relationship between the expression changes of the two and clinicopathological parameters of glioma patients were analyzed. Kaplan Meier curve was used to analyze the 5-year cumulative survival rate of glioma patients with different expression levels of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 and miR-129-5p. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the poor prognosis of glioma patients.Results:Compared with normal brain tissue, the relative expression of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 in glioma was higher and the relative expression of miR-129-5p was lower (all P<0.05). There was significant negative relationship between the relative expression of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 and miR-129-5p in glioma ( r=-0.756, P<0.05). The expression of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 and miR-129-5p in glioma was related to World Health Organization (WHO) grade and tumor length (all P<0.05). The 5-year cumulative survival rate of patients in lncRNA NR2F2-AS1<2.89 group was higher than that in lncRNA NR2F2-AS1≥2.89 group, and the 5-year cumulative survival rate of patients in miR-129-5p<0.55 group was lower than that in miR-129-5p≥0.55 group (all P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that high expression of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1, low expression of miR-129-5p, WHO grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ and tumor length were the risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients with glioma (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The increased expression of lncRNA NR2F2-AS1 and the decreased expression of miR-129-5p in glioma tissues are involved in the clinical biological progress of glioma and are closely related to the prognosis of patients.

Glioma is a common tumor in the central nervous system. Because the natural immunosuppression of tumor microenvironment is conducive to tumor growth, transformation and migration, the traditional treatment has little effect and is difficult to make a breakthrough. Glioma-associated microglia and macrophage (GAM), an important part of brain tumor microenvironment, plays a more and more key role in tumor progression and regulation of anti-tumor immune response. This article reviews the latest progress of the source, recruitment, polarization and the role in development of gliomas as well as potential therapeutic targets of gliomas.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a clinically common type of glioma with a very poor prognosis and complex drug resistance mechanisms, high mortality, short survival time; invasiveness and recurrence are the main obstacles to treatment. Ferroptosis is an iron-dependent regulated cell death associated with massive lipid peroxidation that is related with the development and treatment response of various types of tumors. Cancer cells rely on their strong antioxidant capacity to avoid ferroptosis, therefore, exploring ferroptosis may be an effective strategy to prevent tumor proliferation and invasion. This article mainly reviews the mechanism of ferroptosis in GBM, as well as the research status and progress of ferroptosis as a potential therapeutic target.
