Objective:To investigate the changes of intestinal flora and serum amino acid levels in elderly patients with Parkinson's disease(PD)at different stages, and to provide evidence for diagnosis, prevention and treatment of PD.Methods:A total of 140 elderly PD patients diagnosed and treated in our hospital from January 2018 to August 2019 were enrolled and divided into PD course <5 years group(n=70)and PD course≥5 years group(n=70). Ninety subjects without PD confirmed by medical examination in our hospital were included as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR of 16S rDNA gene was used to detect levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium prasus, Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Prevotella copri and Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria in the gut, and the high-performance liquid chromatography was used to detect the serum amino acids in the three groups.Results:Compared with the control group, the levels of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium prasalis and Prevotella copri in the intestines were decreased and Enterobacter level was increased in PD course <5 years group and PD course≥5 year group( F=20.863, 32.251, 23.166, 24.683 and 10.136, all P<0.001). The serum levels of methionine, tryptophan, lysine and glutamate in PD course <5 years and PD course≥5 year group were decreased as compared with the control group( F=5.858, 5.877, 4.183 and 25.462, all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum glutamate level was positively correlated with Clostridium prastia in the intestine( r=0.647, P=0.002)and negatively correlated with Prevotella copri( r=-0.559, P=0.010). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the protective factors in the intestines of elderly PD patients were Bifidobacterium( OR=0.186, 95% CI: 0.054-0.637, P=0.007), Lactobacillus( OR=0.283, 95% CI: 0.098-0.816, P=0.020), Clostridium prastia( OR=0.232, 95% CI: 0.063-0.851, P=0.028), and Prevotella copri( OR=0.222, 95% CI: 0.058-0.851, P=0.028), and the risk factor was Enterobacter( OR=5.119, 95% CI: 1.406-18.636, P=0.013). Conclusions:The decreases of Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, Prevotella copri and Enterobacter levels in the intestinal tract of PD patients, and the decrease of serum glutamate level may be correlated to the progression of PD.

Objective The C-terminal domain of rodent Muc3 is proteolytically cleaved.This study is to explore the relationship between N-linked oligosaccharides in SEA module and the proteolytic cleavage within C-terminal domain of rodent Muc3.Methods Truncated rodent Muc3 C-terminal domains with complete SEA module(p20SEA) were produced by site-directed mutagenesis to insert a stop code in the required place.Proteins were detected by pulse/chase and immunoprecipitation method,or SDS/PAGE and Western blot.Inhibition of glycosylation of the expressed protein was performed by using tunicamycin.Results Muc3 C-terminal domain was posttranslationally cleaved to produce a V5-tagged 30 000 extracellular glycopeptide and a Myc-tagged 49 000 membrane-associated glycopeptide.Treatment with tunicamycin to transfected COS-1 cells led to the abundant production of 60 000 uncleaved and whole-length Muc3 C-terminal domain,the 30 000 N-terminal fragment shifted to 22 000 and 49 000 C-terminal fragment shifted to 41 000 after deglycosylation.The truncated Muc3 C-terminal domain containing complete SEA module but without the following residues led to production of 36 000 uncleaved and whole-length protein,and 30 000 cleaved product shifted to 22 000 after deglycosylation.Conclusion Proteolytic cleavage in both complete rodent C-terminal domain and complete SEA module without the following residues were partially inhibited by tunicamycin.

AIM:To observe the myogenic effect of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell(MSC)transplantation after chemical-induction and stress-induction on denervated skeletal muscle atrophy in vivo. METHODS:The experiment was performed at the Animal Experimental Center and Central Laboratory in Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University from April to October 2007.SD rats were provided by B&K Universal Group Limited.The experimental procedure was consistent with animal ethical standard.The MSCs from male SD rat femurs and tibia were isolated by density gradient centrifugation.The third passage of MSCs after chemical-induction and stress-induction was labeled with DAPI before transplantation.Thirty-six 8-week-old SD rats were randomly divided into control group and experimental group(n=18).The animal model of denervated gastrocnemius muscles were made by cutting the left sciatic nerve and creating nerve defect about 1 cm. MSCs were percutaneously transplanted to medial and lateral gastrocnemius of the experimental group rats,while low carbohydrates DMEM culture solution without MSCs and fetal bovine serum were transplanted to gastrocnemius of the control group.Bilateral gastrocnemius muscles of each rat from the two groups were weighed 4,8 and 12 weeks postoperatively after examining the motor unit potential and fibrillation potential.The gastrocnemius muscles underwent HE staining and image analysis to measure cross-section area of muscle fiber.The amount of protein was detected by BCA method. RESULTS:Muscular atrophy was observed 2 weeks after denervation.The motor unit waveshape of gastrocnemius became single; time limit became long;voltage became low,and the fibrillation potential norientation wave was increased.Differences were observed between two groups 4 weeks and 8 weeks,but no differences were observed after 12 weeks.Cells with fluorescence were observed in transplantation sites of the experimental group,but not in the control group.The wet weight remnant rate,cross-sectional area of fiber remnant rate and muscle amount protein content remnant rate in rates transplanted with MSCs were significantly lower than those in the control group 4 and 8 weeks after surgery(P

Objective To understand the status of field feces in Jingzhou City, so as to provide the evidence for improving the control measures to interrupt the transmission routes of schistosomiasis. Methods The distribution of field feces was investigated in 27 schistosomiasis endemic villages in Gong’an,Jianli,Jiangling,Honghu and Shishou counties(cities)from 2010 to 2012. The schistosome positive status of the field feces was surveyed with the hatching method. Results There were 1 366 field feces and the average density was 0.089 2 feces per 100 square meters in this survey. The cattle feces,human feces,dog feces and elk feces respectively accounted for 99.71%,0.07%,0.15% and 0.07% in the survey. The infection rates of the field feces were 1.46%and 2.42%in the channels and bottomlands,respectively(P>0.05). The average rate of infected field feces was 3.21%in 2010,0.36%in 2011,and 1.60%in 2012,and the difference between 2010 and 2012 was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusions The main field feces come from cattle,and the main distribution of infected field feces is in channels and bottom-lands. Therefore,the management of cattle and treatment of field feces should be strengthened.

To reflect specialty teaching characteristics and levels in clinical standardized training of medical professional degree postgraduates and highlight the thinking of evidence-based medicine culture,in urology rotation training practice,we conducted clinical pathway teaching according to picot principle (PICOT-CP teaching).According to the requirements of the teaching syllabus,the six kinds of major diseases were brought into PICOT-CP teaching.After the screening of pre teacher training,teaching tools and teaching cases,and based on the form of PICOT-CP,we standardized the implementation of clinical teaching of Urology,fully used subject website platform to discuss the interaction between teachers and students,and assessed the effect in combination with the departmental rotation examination and the teaching questionnaire survey of the students and the training teachers.Preliminary practice shows that PICOT-CP teaching helps to stimulate students' interest in learning,improve their overall quality,expand their clinical thinking,and establish their concept of evidence-based medicine.In addition,PICOT-CP teaching is beneficial to the teaching norms of teachers' teaching and can improve teaching level.

Objective To investigate the effects of peroral catheter balloon dilatation on patients with dysphagia caused by cricopharyngeal achalasia after stroke.Methods Thirty-two stroke survivors with cricopharyngeal achalasia were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group,each of 16.Both groups were given routine dysphagia rehabilitation training,but the treatment group was additionally given peroral balloon dilatation therapy six times a week for 2 weeks.Both groups were given swallowing function evaluations and videofluoroscopic swallowing examinations (VFSS) before and after the treatment.Results After the treatment,14 of the 16 patients in the treatment group demonstrated improved swallowing,significantly better than the control group,where only 9 patients had improved.The VFSS showed dysphagia to have been relieved in both groups,but significantly more in the treatment group.Transit duration in the pharnx was significantly shortened from 0.28 s to 0.16 s in the treatment group,but no significant difference was tound in the control group.Conclusion Peroral catheter balloon dilatation is effective for relieving cricopharyngeal achalasia after stroke.
