1.The Role of FUS/TLS in the Regulation of Gene Expression and the Correlation with Neurodegenerative Diseases
Journal of Kunming Medical University 2016;37(8):1-4
Neurodegenerative diseases are chronic lesions caused by neuronal degeneration and secondary demyelination.Recent studies have shown that a DNA/RNA binding protein named fused in sarcoma/translocated in liposarcoma protein (FUS/TLS) is associated with neurodegenerative diseases,such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and polyglutamine diseases.Mutations or dysfunction in FUS/TLS are responsible for the abnormal processes in the related gene transcription,RNA processing,transportation and translation and are highly correlated with the development of neurodegenerative disease.Discovery and the research of FUS/TLS not only contribute to the understanding of neurodegenerative disease at RNA level,but also provide a new way for the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 1999;0(02):-
[Objective] To observe the effect of serum containing Bushen prescription (BP) on inhibition of chondrocyte proliferation and nitric oxide (NO) production in chondrocyte induced by interleukin-1 (IL-1). [Methods] Four New Zealand rabbits were administered BP 2.5mL (1.15kg/L) for 3 days for the preparation of BP-containing serum. Rabbit chondrocytes were cultured in-vitro and were added with DMEM culture containing IL-1 1, 10 and 20 ?g/L to examined the inhibition concentration of IL-1 for chondrocyte proliferation. After then, BP group was added with 20 ?g/L IL-1 and various concentrations of BP-containing serum and the model group with 20 ?g/L IL-1 and various concentrations of blank serum. Alter 3-day culture, chondrocyte proliferation were dectected by thiazolyl blue colorimetry (MTT) and NO content by Griess method. [Results] The inhibition concentration of IL-1 for chondrocyte proliferation was 20 ?g/L; various concentrations of BP-containing serum could counteract chondrocyte proliferation and inhibit NO pnxluction in chondrocyte induced by IL-1. [Conclusion] BP can counteract chondrocyte proliferation directly or indirectly by the mediation of NO, which may be one of its therapeutic mechanisms in treating osteoarthritis.

Ultrastructural changes of the inner cell mass (ICM) in rabbit blastocysts from 4 to 7 days post coitum (p.c.) were observed with transmission electron microscope. It revealed that ICM of blastocyst on day 5 p.c. began to differentiate after they were arranged into a single layer, and under which the primitive endoderm appeared. It is suggested that the primitive endodermal cells in rabbit blastocysts are derived from the scattered ICM-like cells at the inner surface of the mural trophoblast rather than delaminated from ICM proper. In this paper, disruption and disappearance of polar trophoblast are described and discussed.

Objective:To develop the Chinese version of the 22-item Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R-C) and examine its reliability and validity. Methods:A sample of 439 female offenders experiencing at least one traumatic life event was tested. The authors examined the IES-R-C's retest reliability, internal consistency, discriminative validity and predictive value of the cut-off. Results:The test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.86;The Cronbach's coefficient of the IES-R-C was 0.96;The mean inter-item correlation coefficients ranged from0.42 to 0.60;The correlation coefficient of the three factors with the total scale scores ranged from0.84 to 0.91; The correlation coefficient among the three factors ranged from 0.75 to 0.89; Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and partial PTSD cases indicated significantly higher scores than non-PTSD cases. 34/35 in the IES-R-C total score seemed an appropriate cutoff indicative of high levels of sensitivity (0.86), specificity (0.86), and efficiency (0.86) in the broadly defined PTSD-positive groups (PTSD + partial PTSD). Conclusion: the of IES-R-C is a reliable and valid measure for assessing the posttraumatic stress symptoms in Chinese-speaking sample. The IES-R-C may be a useful self-rating diagnostic instrument particularly for survivors with PTSD symptoms as a clinical concern (PTSD + partial PTSD) by using a 34/35 cutoff in total score.

Objective To analysis the victim's help-seeking behavior of domestic violence. Methods Using a multi-stage sampling strategy,306 victims of domestic violence were randomly selected and face-to-face interviewed. A self-designed help-seeking questionnaire of domestic violence was administered. Results 33.7%victims felt nowhere to seek help. The three leading helpers they seek were the other family member (34.6%),neighbor and friend( 17.0% ) and community office ( 12.5% ) ,and the community office had highest prevalence of effect (71. 1% ). The prevalence of seeking help from other family member and Women's Federation were highest in urban victims (P<0.01) ,and seeking help from community office was highest in rural victims (P<0.01). The three leading helpers were other family member (27.3%) ,community office ( 15.8% ) and neighbor and friend ( 10.9% ) by male victims, and other family member ( 38.0% ), neighbor and friend ( 20.0% ) and community office ( 10.8% ) by female victims. The prevalence of seeking help from neighbor and friend was higher in female than in male ( 20.0% vs 10.9%, x2 = 3. 980, P< 0.05 ). Adult victims seek help from other family member were less than children and the elderly (31.6% vs 42.0% and 46.9%, x2 =5.993, P<0.05),and the elderly seek help from community office were more than adults and children (28.1% vs 12. 1% and 4.0%, x2 =9.930, P<0.01 ). The victims with higher level of education were with higher prevalence of feeling nowhere to seek help (47.8%). Seeking help from other family member and community office were most in victims with lower level of education( 38.5% and 24.0% ,respectively) and were least in victims with higher level of education ( 17.4% and 0,respectively, P < 0.05, P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion Help-seeking behaviors of victims of domestic violence are varied by geographic settings,age,gender and education levels.

AimThe effect of herbal tongxinluo on the thrombus formation and neointimal hyperplasia of the balloon injured rabbit abdominal aorta and iliac artery was observed. Methods36 New zealand rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups: tongxinluo group(16 rabbits); aspirin group(11 rabbits) and control group(9 rabbits). The rabbits were treated with herb tongxinluo 0.38g·kg-1 · d-1, aspirin 50mg·kg-1 · d -1 and 0.09% natrium chloride 10 ml · d-1 alternatively. The arterial injury model was made 1 week after taking the medicine and the injured segments were taken at 24 hours,1 week or 1 month after the procedure, then the samples were stained by hematoxylin and eosin. The thrombus formation and the neointimal hyperplasia of the injured arteries were observed under microscope. Results The arterial neointimal hyperplasia was seen in both abdominal aorta and iliac artery 24 hours and 7 days after the balloon injury in each group,which led to stenosis in 5%~40% of the arterial lumen, the neointimal hyperplasia was much more significant in 2 rabbits 1 month after the balloon injury. The ratio of the arteries with thrombosis in aspirin group was less than that in the other 2 groups, but the difference was not significant. The ratio of neointimal hyperplasia in tongxinluo group was significantly less than that in aspirin and control groups. Conclusion The balloon injured rabbit abdominal aorta and iliac artery appeare to be an ideal model in researching restenosis after percutaneous transluminar coronary angioplasty(PTCA) . Herbal Tongxinluo significantly inhibit the neointimal hyperplasia of the balloon injured rabbit peripheral arteries, which indicate that herbal Tongxinluo might be a promising medicine in preventing restenosis.
