A growing body of evidence has indicated the important role of autophagy receptors in directing ubiquitinated or non-ubiquitinated cargos towards autophagy. Autophagy receptors bind to LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3) on phagophore and autophagosome membranes, and recognize signals on cargoes in the delivery system of autophagy. However, the diverse domains in the receptor structures determine that their roles would never be limited to autophagy. Up to date, increasing numbers of the receptor proteins have been demonstrated to serve as a molecular link or switch participating in autophagic degradation, apoptosis or cell survival signals. Here, we highlight the non-autophagic roles of these receptor proteins to draw attention to this growing research topic.

ObjectiveTo prepare a novel etimicin-encapsuled chitosan/hydroxyapatite nano-scaffolds and offer assistances for bone defect or osteomylitis.MethodsDrug-carried chitosan nanoparticles which was prepared by ionotropic gelation were combined with nano-hydroxyapatite.The mixture were shaped in molds and then prepared into porous scaffolds by freeze-dry.The surface of one scaffold was scanned.The grinded,particles of the scaffold were detected by field emission scanning electron microscope; X-ray diffraction was used to analyze components of the scaffold and total porosity.Staphylococcus aureus was choosed as the experimental bacteria,we studied lasting antibacterial property of drug-carried bone scaffold by antibacterial experiments,long-term drug releasing experiments and accumulation drug releasing experiments.Bone mesenchymal stem cells were used to detect the histocompatibility and inductivity of etimicin-carried scaffold.ResultsFreeze-dried porous scaffold has a surface with proper pore distribution (total porosity 70.68％) and the grinded scaffold has a globular and coliformed microstructure known after scanned by electron microscope.The drug-carried scaffold has a typical wave of hydroxyapatite under X-ray diffraction.The lasting antibacterial property study indicated that the drug-carried bone scaffold had maintained an inhibition zone for more than 7 days.The long-term drug releasing experiments and accumulation drug releasing experiments show that the fictional drug-carried bone scaffold released above the bacteriostasis concentration after one week and the accumulative amount within the safety scale.The scaffold had not an inhibitory effect on bone mesenchymal stem cells.ConclusionThe etimicin-encapsuled chitosar/ hydroxyapatite nano-scaffolds has similar microstructure and components of bone tissue.It is promising in bone tissue engineering applications because of its slow-release,antibacterial properties and satisfactory histocompatibility.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and clinical effectiveness of the steroid therapy with the all body and local application on hyperthyroid Graves ophthalmopathy.Methods A total of 57 patients (106 eyes)suffering from hyperthyroid Graves ophthalmopathy who hospitalized in the Department of Ophthalmology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from Mar 2008 to Oct 2011 were enrolled in the study.Of the 57 patients,there were 21 males and 36 females,aged 18 to 57(average 37.28 ± 11.63).The clinical course was from 1 month to 5 years(average 29.63 ± 15.36 months).Based on the patient's age,sex and condition,the 57 patients were randomly divided into steroid pulse therapy with all body group(group SPT,29 patients,54 eyes)and peribulbar injection of long-term steraid group(group PI,28 patients,52 eyes).The patients in group SPT were treated with 0.5-l.0 g methylprednisolone by intravenous infusion daily for 3 days,and then stopped for 7 days,the treatment was repeated once.But the total application dose of methylprednisolone was not overruned 5.0-20.0 g.After that,the patients were treated with oral prednisone 40 mg/d.The dose of prednisone was reduced gradually to 5 mg/d.The total course of group SPT was 3 months.The patients in the group PI were treated with triamcinolone acetonide in periorbital injection of 20 mg once every two weeks for 3 months.After one month treated,all patients were visited.The patients' body weights of two groups were measured before the treatment and after one month treated.The ocular signs of the patients including visual acuity,diplopia,intraocular pressure,exophthalmos and horizontal visual palpebral fissure width were observed before and after the treatment.Results In the group SPT,the average body weight [(62.83 ± 7.23)kg]after the treatment was higher than that before the treatment[(57.03 ±7.13)kg],and also higher than that of the group PI[(59.89 ± 10.67)kg,t =25.25,2.08,all P＜ 0.05]after the treatment.In the group SPT,the average intraocular pressures before and after the treatment were (13.46 ± 1.78)and (13.69 ± 1.41)mm Hg(1 nm Hg =0.133 kPa),respectively.In the group PI,the average intraocular pressures before and after the treatment were (13.52 ± 2.19) and (13.77 ± 2.03)mm Hg,respectively.There was no significant differences before and after the treatment in both gr0ups(P＞ 0.05).In the group SPT and PI,the average exophthalmos after the treatment[(18.63 ± 2.22) and (14.85 ± 2.61)mm]were lower than those before the treatment[(20.78 ± 2.24) and (20.60 ± 2.81)mm,t =9.97,29.68,all P＜ 0.05],respectively.After the treatment,the average exophthalmos in the group PI was significantly lower than that of the group SPT(t =7.79,P＜ 0.05).In the groups SPT and PI,the average averagepalpebral fissure width after the treatment[(15.00 ± 1.80) and (11.65 ± 2.45)mm]were lower than those before the treatment[(17.22 ± 1.89) and (17.44 ± 2.37)mm,t =22.74,91.24,all P ＜ 0.05].After treatment of the group PI,the average exophthalmos was significantly lower than that of the group SPT(t =8.01,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with the steroid pulse therapy with all body,the peribullbar application of long-term hormone for hyperthyroid Graves ophthalmopathy is more effective,with lcss side effects and worthy of promotion.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between FA,ET-1,Hcy and VEGF in patients with pregnancy induced hypertension.Methods:Selected 80 cases of patients with pregnancy induced hypertension who were treated in our hospital from January 2013 to September 2016,divided into A group (40 cases),and preeclampsia and preeclampsia B group (40 cases),60 cases of normal late pregnant women as C group,60 cases of normal non pregnant women as D group.The plasma levels of FA,ET-1,Hcy and VEGF in each group were detected,and the correlation analysis was performed.Results:The plasma levels of FA and VEGF of group B were lowest in the four groups (P＜0.05),the plasma ET-1 and Hcy levels of group B were highest (P＜0.05).The plasma FA and VEGF levels of women with pregnancy induce hypertension were lower than those of the healthy late pregnant women.The plasma ET-1 and Hcy levels were higher (P＜0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that FA,ET-1,Hcy and VEGF levels were risk factors for pregnancy induce hypertension.Conclusion:The elevation of plasma Hcy level caused by FA deficiency in pregnancy might be related to the development of the disease and the incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome,VEGF might be an important factor in the occurrence and development of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome.

Objective To explore the significance of signal and volume change from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of hysteromyoma before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE) in the therapy evaluation. Methods MRI was performed in 30 patients (50 hysteromyoma) before and 3,6 and 12 months after UAE. They were grouped by location, signal and size. The MRI signal changes and the hysteromyoma's volume reduction ratio were measured. Results After 3,6,12 months, MRI of hysteromyoma was changed significantly, and all hysteromyomas had lower T2WI signals than before, some of which had higher T1WI signals. Hysteromyoma's volumes were progressively reduced, the majority of which shrinked significantly within 3 months. Evaluated by 12 month's volume changes, significant volume reduction was found in submucous fibroids, and significant difference was showed compared with intramural fibroids and subserosal fibroids (88.9 % vs. 73.7 % and 68.3 %, P=0.036, P=0.019), meanwhile,the latter two had no significant difference (P=0.384). The volume reduction rate in rich cell fibroids was higher than those in ordinary no degeneration fibroids and degeneration type, and there were significant differences (85.7 % vs. 72.1 % and 63.4%, P=0.038, P=0.014). Besides, the latter two had no significant difference (P=0.364). Large fibroids shrinked more obviously than small ones with significant difference (75.2 % vs. 59.6 %, χ2=4.563, P=0.044). Conclusion MRI is useful for the evaluation of efficacy in hysteromyoma before and after UAE, which can provide the better interventional treatment for the patients in regard to different sensitivity of hysteromyoma to UAE.
