4.Relationship between exendin-4 and neurodegenerative diseases
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(05):-
Exendin-4,a peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1),is presently in clinical trials as a therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus.Exendin-4 selectively acts on GLP-1 receptors,which are coupled to the cAMP nucleotide second messenger pathway to enhance the survival and plasticity of neurons in the brain.Exendin-4 has potent effects on homeostasis of Ca2+,on multiple targets to block apoptotic signaling pathways,and on neuronal proliferation and differentiation.It has also been demonstrated to possess properties against oxidative stress and excitotoxicity.In this review the functions of exendin-4 on central nerve system and the potentia therapeutic effects on neurodegenerative diseases will be involved.

The capsule endoscope swallowed from the mouth into the digestive system can capture the images of important gastrointestinal tract regions. It can compensate for the blind spot of traditional endoscopic techniques. It enables inspection of the digestive system without discomfort or need for sedation. However, currently available clinical capsule endoscope has some limitations such as the diagnostic information being not able to correspond to the orientation in the body, since the doctor is unable to control the capsule motion and orientation. To solve the problem, it is significant to track the position and orientation of the capsule in the human body. This study presents an AC excitation wireless tracking method in the capsule endoscope, and the sensor embedded in the capsule can measure the magnetic field generated by excitation coil. And then the position and orientation of the capsule can be obtained by solving a magnetic field inverse problem. Since the magnetic field decays with distance dramatically, the dynamic range of the received signal spans three orders of magnitude, we designed an adjustable alternating magnetic field generating device. The device can adjust the strength of the alternating magnetic field automatically through the feedback signal from the sensor. The prototype experiment showed that the adjustable magnetic field generating device was feasible. It could realize the automatic adjustment of the magnetic field strength successfully, and improve the tracking accuracy.

BACKGROUND:The assessment for long-term efficacy of chronic ischemic disease is more important than the short-term efficacy assessment, which associates with patient’s long-term quality of life and long-term survival rate. OBJECTIVE:To observe the 5-year folow-up outcomes of autologous bone marrow stem cel transplantation for the treatment of thromboangitis obliterans. METHODS:This study enroled 43 patients of thromboangitis obliterans who underwent autologous bone marrow stem cel transplantation from August 2007 to January 2010 in the Department of Thyroid Vascular Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. At 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years after transplantation, pain, cold sensation, and intermittent claudication distance were folowed up by telephone; changes in limb ulcers were observed. At 1 year after transplantation, venous oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation of limbs were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 38 thromboangitis obliterans patients with complete folow-up data were included in the final analysis. Compared to the preoperation, pain, cold sensation, and intermittent claudication significantly improved. The difference was statisticaly significant (Z values:-4.277,-5.086,-3.574, P < 0.001). Compared with 1-5 years after operation, pain and cold sensation had no statisticaly difference (P >0.05). Intermittent claudication distance had increased. Differences in terms of intermittent claudication distance was statisticaly significant (Z=43.898,P < 0.001). Significant differences in venous oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation were detected between preoperation and 1-year posttransplantation (tvalues: 36.790, 43.964,P values: 0.040, 0.037). Above results suggest that autologous bone marrow stem cel transplantation for thromboangitis obliterans obtained stable long-term outcomes.
