Objective: To investigate the characteristics of quantitative electroencephalogram (EEG) in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and their relationship with cognitive impairment. Methods: We recruited 38 patients with ALS and 26 healthy controls. All the patients underwent quantitative EEG examination to obtain the relative power of each frequency band and calculate the slow wave ratio (δ+θ)/(α+β) as comparison indexes. Among them, 27 patients with ALS underwent the ECAS scale examination to assess their cognitive function. At the same time, 25 healthy controls underwent the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioural ALS Screen (ECAS) to determine the cut-off of scale score. We compared the slow wave ratio in ALS patients with and without cognitive impairment according to the cut-off score. Results: The relative powers of δ and θ bands and slow wave ratios of quantitative EEG in ALS patients were significantly higher than those in healthy controls, and there was no significant difference in relative powers of α and β bands. In the comparison of slow wave ratios in different brain regions, the proportion of slow waves in the bilateral temporal-occipital regions and the right parietal areas was significantly higher than that in healthy controls. The slow wave ratio in the left temporal area was positively correlated with the course of ALS (correlation coefficient 0.405, P=0.05). The ECAS scale screening revealed that 33.3% of ALS patients had cognitive impairment. ALS patients with cognitive impairment had higher slow wave ratios in the frontal and temporal areas than patients without cognitive impairment. The ALS specific item score, ALS non-specific item score and the total score of ECAS were all negatively correlated with the slow wave ratios in the frontal and temporal areas. Conclusion: The changes of EEG activity in patients with ALS are mainly the increase of slow wave activity, which is significant in the temporal, parietal and occipital areas. The slow wave ratios in frontal and temporal areas of ALS patients are correlated with cognitive impairment.

Objective To investigate the vaginal microbilme characterization in women with human papillomavirus(HPV)16 and 18 infection and high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN).Methods Three groups were set,including control group(without HPV infection and with colpitis),low-grade CIN group(with HPV 16 or/and 18 infection),and high-grade CIN group(with HPV 16 or/and 18 infection).Virginal microbial composition was determined by using 16S rRNA amplication sequencing and hierarchical clustering analysis among three groups was applied.Rank sum test was used to determine statistical significance.Results Diversity and complexity of bacteria was significantly elevated in high-grade group.Compared with the control,the growth of Lactobacillus crispatus(L.crispatus) and Lactobacillus casei(L.casei) was significantly decreased,while Lactobacillus iners(L.iners) was significantly increased in low-grade CIN group and high-grade CIN group,and both were proportionally correlated to the grade of the disease.Brucella canis(B.canis),as colonized bacteria,was significantly decreased in both low-grade and high-grade CIN groups,and the changes were proportional to the grade of disease.The growth of Dialistersuccinatiphilus(D.succinatiphilus),Gardnerella vaginalis(G.vaginalis) and Prevotellabivia(P.bivia) were significantly elevated and proportional to the grade of disease.Conclusion The diversity and complexity of virginal microbial composition could be significantly expanded in women with HPV infection and high-grade CIN.In contrast to the important role of lactobacillus in virginal health,L.inners could be pathogenic.The colonization of B.canis,D.succinatiphilus,G.vaginalis and P.bivia might be highly correlated with HPV chronic infection and further development of CIN.

Background and purpose:The impact of the two factors of von Willnbrang factor(vWF) and integrin?3 on tumor metastasis has not been recognized. This study was done to investigate the expression of vWF and integrin?3 in human lung cancer cell line H460,the association between the two factors and tumor metastasis effect of vWF and integrin?3 on adhesion of human lung cancer cell line H460. Methods:The expression of vWF and integrin ?3 protein was examined by immunohistochemical staining. The impact of vWF and integrin?3 on adherent effect of tumor cells was evaluated by adhesion experiment, antibody inhibiting experiment and MTT.Results:Positive expression of vWF and integrin?3 was detected in H460 human lung cancer cells. H460 human lung cancer cells were able to adhere to vWF. Using anti-integrin?3, we observed that the ability of cell adhesion to vWF was inhibited,and A Value decreased from 1.59?0.06 to 0.55?0.03(P=0.01619). Using anti-vWF, we observed cell adhesion to vWF was inhibited too and A Value decreased from 1.60?0.06 to 0.54?0.03(P=0.01598),which had the same effect when using anti-integrin?3.Conclusions:H460 human lung cancer cells are capable of producing vWF, and vWF expression contributes to metastasis by adhering to cancer cells, integrin?3 is the vWF receptor on H460 human lung cancer cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of regular aerobic exercise on oxidative stress, inflammatory reaction and apoptosis with a rat model of colitis.Methods:Forty-five C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and a model exercise group, each of 15. Colitis was induced in the rats of the model and model exercise groups through administration of 3.5% sodium dextran sulfate. The control group and the model group were kept quiet in their cages, while the model exercise group performed voluntary wheel running for 8 weeks after the successful modelling. Any histopathological changes in the colon tissue were observed after hematoxylin and eosin staining. Oxidative stress, inflammatory reaction and apoptosis were measured from colon tissue homogenates.Results:Compared with the control group, the average expression of the tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) as well as levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and Caspase-3 activity and the protein expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) p65, apoptosis inducing factor (AIF), cytochrome c (Cyt C) and Bax had all increased significantly in the other two groups, while the levels of IL-10 and glutathione (GSH), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and the protein expression of Bcl-2 protein had decreased significantly in the model group. Compared with the model group, the average content of TNF-α, IL-1 β, IL-6, PGE2, ROS, MDA and NO, the activity of iNOS and Caspase-3 and the protein expression of COX2, NF-κB p65, AIF, CytC and Bax had decreased significantly, while that of IL-10 and GSH, the activity of SOD and GPx and the protein expression of Bcl-2 protein had increased significantly in the model exercise group.Conclusion:Regular aerobic exercise has a protective effect against colitis through improving oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis, at least in rats.

Objective To study the change characteristics of erythrocyte parameters in carriers of deletional alpha-thalassemia gene.Methods 389 patients with deletional alpha-thalassemia gene determined by the gap-PCR technique were classified into three groups based on different genotypes of alpha-thalassemia including silent thalassemia group,alpha-thalassemia trait group (265 ca-ses)and intermediate thalassemia group,and contemporaneous 188 healthy adults were randomly selected as the normal control-group(NC).The erythrocyte parameters including RBC,Hb,MCV,MCH,RDW were retrospectively analyzed and their differences were compared among aboved-mentioned groups by the analysis of variance and the multiple comparison.Results Alpha-thalasse-mia manifested by different degrees of microcyte hypochromia.There were statistically significant differences in the erythrocyte pa-rameters among various genotypes and phenotypes about erythrocyte indices(P <0.05).Moreover,the Hb,MCV and MCH values were lower than those in the control group,and had the decreasing tendency with the increase of deletedα-globin gene numbers;but the RDW value was higher than that in the control group,showing the increasing tendency,the differences had statistical siginifi-cance(P <0.05).Conclusion With the increase of deleted α-globin gene number,the characteristic of small-cell low-hemoglobin is more and more remarkable.RBC has a overall increase,while Hb,MCV and MCH have a decreasing tendency,and the heterogeneity of erythrocyte volume is increased.When MCV and MCH decreasing in high risk region,thalassemia should be highly suspected, but normal MCV and MCH can not exclude silent thalassemia and alpha-thalassemia trait.

measured to compare the correlation between the changes of T lymphocyte subsets before and after operation and the change of platelet. Results Thirty-one patients were underwent laparoscopic splenectomy. The T lymphocyte subsets and CD3 + ,CD4 + and CD3 + / CD4 + in all patients showed an increase trend as the time prolonged after operation,and the differences were significant( F = 6. 91,3. 93,4. 18;P = 0. 023,0. 004,0. 011). While the ratio of CD3 + / CD8 + and CD3 + CD4 + / CD3 + CD8 + were decreased as time increased,and differences were statistically significant( F = 2. 59,3. 67;P = 0. 001,0. 002). They were related with platelet change after operation and correlation statistics analysis showed R values were 0. 332,0. 271,0. 345,- 0. 119,- 0. 164,and the P value were 0. 039,0. 021,0. 002,0. 017,0. 023. Conclusion ITP patients have the imbalance of T lymphocyte subsets,and splenectomy can improve the imbalance of T lymphocyte subsets in patients with ITP. T lymphocyte subsets may serve as a reference index to indicate the prognosis of the patients.

Objective To observe the autophagy induced by heavy ion and X-ray radiations in SW480 cells and its effect in radiation responses.Methods The cellular ultrastructure was observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM).The autophagy vesicles were labeled by monodansylcadaverin (MDC) fluorescence.The levels of LC3 which were induced by radiation and rapamycin were measured by Western blot assay.Cell proliferation was detected by MTT assay.The invasion of SW480 colon cells was measured with a Transwell.Cell wound healing assay was used to observe the migration of SW480 colon cells.Results Heavy ion and X-ray radiation could induce autophagy in SW480 cells in a dose dependent manner i.e., the autophagy level increased along with irradiation dose (F =458.526, P ＜ 0.05) , but this induction of autophagy was inhibited by chloroquine.Rapamycin could also induce autophagy in SW480 cells and it had a synergistic effect with irradiation (F =189.393, P ＜ 0.05).The abilities of invasion, migration and proliferation of SW480 cells were reduced by irradiation and the combination treatment of irradiation and rapamycin (F =194.692, 629.917, 302.903, P ＜ 0.05) , but they were enhanced by chloroquine (F =194.692, 629.917, 302.903, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ionization radiation causes cell death by inducing autophagy.
