Aspartyl-(asparaginyl) β-hydroxylase (AAH) is a type 2 transmembrane protein and a member of the α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase family of proteins.AAH catalyzes hydroxylation of specific aspartyl and asparaginyl residues in epidermal growth factor-like domains of proteins.Overexpression of AAH is found in many types of cancer tissues,however,AAH expression is found only in normal placenta and paranephros tissues.AAH can translocate to cell membrane from endoplasmic reticulum membrane when it is overexpressed in cancer cell,which hydroxylate proteins such as Notch,Jagged,and cellular adhesion molecules that regulate cell migration and invasion.AAH is a potential biomarker for cancer diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the aassociation of a microRNA-137 (miR-137) polymorphism, single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1625579, with neurocognitive function in patients with schizophrenia. Methods A total of 250 patients with schizophrenia were included in this study. The positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate patients. The brief assessment of cognition in schizophrenia (BACS) scale was used to determine neurocongnitive functions in patients. Blood samples of patients were collected, and SNaPshot technique was used to compare the neurocognitive functions of different genotypes of rs1625579. Results The genotypes of TT, GT and GG were 221 (88.4%), 28 (11.2%) and 1(0.4%). There was no significant difference in PANSS score between TT genotype carriers and G allele (GG+GT) carriers. The detection of BACS showed that the digit sequencing score was significantly lower in patients with TT genotype than that of G allele (GG+GT) carrier ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in other scores of BACS evaluation between two groups of patients. Conclusion The miR-137 polymorphism influences the working memory performance of schizophrenic patients in Chinese Han population.

Objective To investigate the influence of hydroxyethyl starch solution on exogenous coagulation and active protein C (APC) in the patients with septic shock.Methods A single-center prospective study was conducted.Eighty-four consecutive patients with septic shock admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Peking University People's Hospital from November 2009 to October 2014 were enrolled.The patients were randomized into two study groups by random digits table:Ringer lactate solution group (RL group,n =40) and hydroxyethyl starch group (HES group,n =44),and Ringer lactate solution or hydroxyethl starch 130/0.4 was used for resuscitation respectively.Peripheral blood was collected at four time points:before resuscitation,6,12,and 24 hours after resuscitation.The prothrombin time (PT),tissue factor (TF),tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) and APC were determined,and the length of ICU stay and the mortality were recorded.Results There were no significant differences in PT,TF,TFPI,and APC before and after resuscitation in RL group.No change in PT was found after resuscitation in HES group,and no significant difference was found as compared with RL group.TF after resuscitation in HES group was decreased gradually,and the level at the 24 hours after resuscitation was significantly lower than that before resuscitation (U/L:15.80±7.32 vs.31.40±2.75,P ＜ 0.05); but there was no significant difference at all time points when compared with that of RL group (all P ＞ 0.05).TFPI at 12 hours and 24 hours after resuscitation in HES group was increased when compared with before resuscitation (μg/L:1.32±0.22,1.14±0.09 vs.0.63±0.54).TFPI in HES group was significantly higher than that in RL group (μg/L:0.84 ± 0.69,0.95 ± 0.30),but there was no significant differences between two groups (both P ＞ 0.05).APC after resuscitation in HES group was decreased gradually,which was significantly lower than that in RL group at 6,12,24 hours after resuscitation (mg/L:3.38±3.00 vs.5.98±4.12,3.31 ± 1.94 vs.5.33 ± 3.71,3.42 ± 2.64 vs.7.53 ± 4.67,P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01).The length of ICU stay in HES group was significantly shorter than that in RL group (days:12.50 ± 8.83 vs.17.10± 16.60,t =9.037,P ＜ 0.001),but there was no significant difference in mortality between HES group and RL group [40.9％ (18/44) vs.60.0％ (24/40),x 2=2.339,P =0.126].Conclusions Both RL and hydroxyethyl starch fluid resuscitation did not affect the PT of the patients.The use of hydroxyethyl starch probably inhibits excessive activation of the exogenous coagulation and hyper-coagulation in the early stage of sepsis,and inhibits activation of protein C as well.

Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous glial cell derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF)on colon glial cells in slow transit constipation (STC ) rats,and to explore the optimal concentration of GDNF in order to provide evidence for intestinal neurotrophic therapy in the treatment of STC.Methods A total of 132 SD rats were divided into STC group and control group,66 rats in each group.STC rats were established by feeding with rhubarb.Six rats were randomly selected from either groups to verify whether STC model was successfully established.And the left 120 rats of two groups were randomly divided into six subgroups:STC group one to group six and control group one to group six,ten rats in each group,which were untreated,injected through tail vein with saline,and 0.001 ,0.010, 0.050,0.100 μg/L GDNF 2 mL respectively for one week.The expression of Sox-8 at protein level of either group were detected by Western blotting.Independent sample t test was performed for statistical analysis.Results After treated with 0.001 μg/L GDNF (STC group three),there was no significant
difference in expression level of Sox-8 between STC group three and STC group one (13.38 ±0.70 vs 13.39±0.45 ,t = 0.042,P = 0.969 ).After treated with 0.010 μg/L GDNF (STC group four),the difference in expression level of Sox-8 between STC group four and STC group three was significant (21 .11 ±2.56 vs 13.38±0.70,t=5 .040,P <0.01).After treated with 0.050 μg/mL GDNF (STC group five),the expression level of Sox-8 was higher than that in STC group four (31.86±1.57 vs 21.11±2.56,t=-6.198,P <0.01 ).The Sox-8 expression of untreated,saline treated,0.001 and 0.050 μg/L GDNF treated STC rats (STC group one,two,three and five)were lower than those of the corresponding control groups (t= 3.394,12.103,10.302,- 6.120,all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Exogenous GDNF could increase Sox-8 expression in colon tissue of STC rats,an increase in the number of colon glial cells could repair enteric nervous system,and 0.050 μg/L was the optimal concentration.

Objective To compare the effects of aspirin and clopidogrel on platelet aggregation function by TEG,and to study the antiplatelet agents tailored therapy of Thrombelastography(TEG)in treatment of cerebral infarc-tion patients.Methods 100 patients with acute cerebral infarction were included in two groups:aspirin group and clopidogrel group.The inhibitory rates of AA and ADP receptor pathway in platelets were detected by TEG.The effect of inhibitory rates in group aspirin and clopidogrel was compared with nerve function and the recurrence rate of stroke. Results The inhibitory rates of group aspirin (85.23 ±21.98)% was higher than group clopidogrel (47.31 ± 22.37)% (t =7.340,P =0.005).The patients with which the inhibitory rates showed goodby TEG in group aspirin and clopidogrel got better neurological recovery,and the patients showed goodby TEG in group aspirin got lower stroke recurrence rate within 1 year(χ2 =4.460,P =0.035;χ2 =7.232,P =0.007).Conclusion TEG had guided the antiplatelet individual therapy for cerebral infarction patients,and can be used to predict and confirm the efficacy of antiplatelet drug.

Objective To explore the effect of GAS MAN assisted instruction on theory learning of volatile anesthetics in anesthesiology residency training.Methods A total of 32 residents in the first stage of anesthesiology training were enrolled and randomly assigned to either study(S) or control (C) group.Theory-test l(Test-1) was conducted for all residents after the lecture-based learning (LBL).Next,reference book self-reading strategy was used in both groups while computer-based simulation(CBS) using GAS MAN was only developed in S group.Then,theory-test 2(Test-2)was conducted for residents in both groups and residents in S group completed the questionnaire smvey.In addition,thirty-four resident teachers observed the CBS courses and completed the questionnaire smvey.Results The mean scores of Test-1 did not differ significantly between the two groups(P=0.64).However,the mean Test-2 score of S group(81.3 ± 13.6) was significantly higher than that of C group(61.3 ± 15.4) (P=0.001).100％(16/16) residents believed that CBS was beneficial to the theoretical study of volatile anesthetics,93.8％(15/16) residents considered GAS MAN could help understand the concepts and improve efficiency during self-learning.97.1％ (33/34) and 91.2％ (31/34)resident teachers agreed that CBS was helpful for analyzing complex concepts and improving study effectiveness,respectively.Conclusions CBS using GAS MAN improves theory knowledge and study effectiveness for anesthesia residents.Both residents and resident teachers find GAS MAN highly ac ceptable.Therefore,GAS MAN has the potential to be the assistant teaching tool for LBL in anesthesiology residency-training program.

Objective We observed influence of different handgrip exercise on the changes of blood flow velocity and blood vessel diameter of basilic vein before and after the PICC placement and discuss the best model for handgrip exercise.Methods 60 patients with PICC were chosen and divided into group A,B and C with 20 patients in each groups.Group A received routine guidance on unarmed handgrip exercise,group B used electronic handgrip,the frequency was 25 times/min,the time period was 2 min with 4 times a day,once every 4 hours,group C adopted the same model as that of group B and 6 times a day,once every 3 hours.The venous blood flow velocity and blood vessel diameter was measured by pulsed Doppler ultrasound one hour before the PICC placement and one hour,1 day,3 days,7 days,10 days,14 days,21 days after placement.Results The venous blood flow velocity before and after PICC placement had statistically significant differences at different time points (F=2.934,P ＜ 0.05).The effect of group B and C was better than that of the group A and group C showed the best effect.The blood vessel diameter before and after PICC placement had significant differences at different time points(F=3.940,P ＜ 0.05).There was significant differences in the blood vessel diameter 1h before and 1h after PICC placement.Conclusions Handgrip exercise can effectively promote the upper limb venous blood flow velocity in patients with PICC,but shows little effect on the blood vessel diameter.Using the electronic hand grip in weak tap position,25 times/min,2 min every time,and 6 times a day (once every 3 hours),can obviously promote the upper limb venous blood flow velocity.
