Frailty is a common state or syndrome with a decline in physiological reserves and an increase in an individual's vulnerability for stress in the elderly.Frailty can increase the risk of disability,falls,hospitalization,delirium and mortality.However,the intervention of frailty is under the scarcity and its effectiveness is not satisfied.We need to find new targets to treat frailty according to the pathophysiology of frailty.Human physiology is very similar to that of mouse,thus,mouse can be an ideal animal model of human disease.Mouse models can provide insight into pathogenesis of frailty by reducing the influence of genetic and environment factors and provide more basic data for further studies of frailty.At present,the research on a mouse model of frailty is still in its infancy and still needs further study.This review will summarize the related studies and propose some new ideas for future studies on mouse model of frailty.

Objective To explore the expression levels of RAS-interacting protein 1 (RASIP1) mRNA and protein in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and its cell lines,and to analyze the relationship between RASIP1 and tumorigenesis and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The expression levels of RASIP1 mRNA and protein in 29 hepatocellular carcinoma tissues and the corresponding adjacent non-cancer liver tissues (ANLTs),as well as those in the HCC cell lines such as LO2,HEPG2,MHCC97-H and HCCLM3 were detected using real-time PCR and western blot.Results The RASIP1 expression levels decreased significantly in HCC tissues when compared with the corresponding ANLTs; The expression levels of RASIP1 mRNA and protein in LO2 were significantly higher than those in other HCC cell lines (P ＜ 0.05) ; The expression levels of RASIP1 mRNA and protein in MHCC97-H and HCCLM3 were significantly lower than those in HepG2 (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HCC tissues had lower expression than those in ANLTs.On analyzing the RASIP1 levels of HCC tissues and its cell lines,we speculated that RASIP1 might suppress recurrence and metastasis of HCC.

Objective To elucidate whether taking Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist instead of oral antiplatelet drugs during perioperative in patients with drug-eluting stent implantation undergoing non-cardiac surgery would play a preventive role of stent thrombosis,without increasing surgical bleeding.Methods Six patients aged 60 -75 years old with drug-eluting stent implantation within 1 year taking dual antiplatelet drugs without any chest pain,and whose heart function classification for two (NYHA) were enrolled.They underwent surgical treatment due to ineffective conservative treatment of surgical disease,5 days before surgery intravenous infusion tirofiban 0.1 μg/( kg · min) micro pumps continuously instead of oral dual antiplatelet drugs,2 hours before surgery stop tirofiban and re-application of tirofiban 0.1 μg/( kg · rain) after surgery in the intensive care unit,and replacing tirofiban with oral dual antiplatelet as soon as possible according to the situation.Analyze cardiovascular events,especially stent thrombosis events and seriously bleeding,tirofiban adverse drug events during perioperative.Results Six patients have no perioperative malignant ischemic ventricular arrhythmia,angina,myocardial infarction,sudden cardiac death,no massive bleeding and adverse drug reactions.Conclusion Substitution of oral dual antiplatelet drugs for Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonists to prevent stent thrombosis treatment during perioperative in patients with drug-eluting stent implantation undergoing non=cardiac surgery may be feasible and safe,but needs to be further confirmed through large sample of randomly controlled trials.

Objective To investigate the possibility that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiated into neuron-like cells induced by ganglioside in vitro.Methods BMSCs were separated, cultured and differentiate into neuron-like cells induced by ganglioside. Neuro-specific enolase (NSE) and neurofilament (NF) on the surface of differentiated and induced BMSCs were detected by immunocytochemistry.Results BMSCs were induced to differentiate into the cells with a typical neuronal morphology. The induced neuron-like cells expressed NSE and NF.Conclusion BMSCs can be differentiated into neuron-like cells by induction of ganglioside in vitro.

ObjectiveTo study the protection of Chinese herbs on the ischemic brain of rats. Methods 75 Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups, Group 1 for false operation. For the other four groups, the common carotid artery was exposed then was ligatured and cut off, Group 2 for model. From the 20th hour after operation on,Group 3, 4, 5 were fed with complex prescription of Chinese medicine named Prescription 1, 2 and 3 once a day respectively. 3 hours after taking medicine, Groups 2-5 were put in the hypoxia environment for 1 hours, then taking the medicine for 7 days. On the 7th day after operation,the blood was taken from R. atria then the rats were killed and the whole right brains were cut off. Malonaldehyde (MDA), notric oxide synthetase (NOS) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the brain tissue and serum, and calcium in the brain were measured respectively. ResultsThe three prescriptions can decrease the quantity of MDA both in brain tissue and serum and the calcium in brain tissue(P<0.05-0.001).Prescription 1 can enhance the activity of SOD in brain tissue while the others can decrease the activity of NOS. The hippocampus cells show tidy, and the number of the necrotic cells decrease greatly among them, Groups 4 and 5 are better than Group 3.Conclusions Prescriptions 1-3 can protect the brain tissue of the rat form ischemic brain injury.

To study the role of BAMBI in adipogenesis, we constructed lentivirus interfering vector targeting on porcine BAMBI, packaged and infected the porcine preadipocyte. The differentiation state of preadipocyte was detected by Oil Red O staining and Oil Red O extraction assay and the expression levels of adipogenic marker genes were detected by Real-time qPCR and Werstern bloting. Results show that BAMBI expression was significant decreased after lentivirus infection, which was repressed more than 60% by shRNA2. Moreover, knockdown BAMBI increased the lipid accumulation of porcine preadipocyte and improved the expression of PPARγ (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptorγ) and ap2 (adipocyte protein 2). In summary, these data indicated that BAMBI inhibited adipocyte differentiation by facilitating the phosphorylation of ERK1/2.
