ObjectiveTo explore the metabolite status on prefrontal lobe and thalamus by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) and affecting factors in patients of schizophrenia.Methods 159 schizophrenics met with CCMD-3 and 45 normal controls were examined at prefrontal lobe and thalamus by multi-voxel 1H-MRS.The N-acetylaspartate ( NAA),Choline-congtaining compounds ( Cho),and Creatine compounds (Cr)were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr were determined. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS),Social Disability Screening Schedule (SDSS),and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) were also assessed.ResultsOn left prefrontal lobe of patients,the NAA/Cr ratio demonstrated lower than that in normal controls (1.42 ±0.34 vs.1.64 ±0.39,t =3.70,P＜0.01 ).The same phenomenon were appeared on left thalamus (1.46±0.35 vs.1.66±0.38,t=3.32,P＜0.01) and on right thalamus (1.49±0.34 vs.1.62±0.37,t=2.04,P ＜ 0.05 ).Contributing to the NAA/Cr ratio,main influencing factors on left prefrontal lobe were age of onset,duration of illness,score of negative symptoms,antipsychotic treatment,total score of PANSS,Categories completed of WCST,total score of SDSS,year of education.Main influencing factors on left thalamus were age of onset,duration of illness,antipsychotic treatment.Main influencing factors on right thalamus were duration of illness,age of onset,score of negative symptoms,antipsychotic treatment,and family history.ConclusionsAbnormalities in neuronal function and/or integrity presented on prefrontal lobe and thalamus in schizophrenics are related to many respects,especially age of onset,duration of illness and antipsychotic treatment.

Objective To identify the metabolite levels and to study the potential effects of risporidone tablets on prefrontal lobe and thalamus in male first-episode schizophrenia by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS).Methods Twenty-two male first-episode schizophrenics were examined at prefrontal lobe and thalamus by multi-voxel 1H-MRS before and after 8 weeks' risperidone tablets treatment,and 30 normal controls were assessed once.The patients were also received positive and negative syndrome scale(PANSS) and Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) before and after treatment.The N-aeetylaspartate ( NAA ),Choline-congtaining compounds (Cho),and Creatine compounds (Cr) were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr,Cho/Cr were determined.Results On left prefrontal lobe and left thalamus,the NAA/Cr ratio in patients before treatment demonstrated lower than those in normal controls ( ( 1.37 ± 0.33 ) vs ( 1.61 ± 0.38 ),t =2.57,P ＜ 0.05 ; ( 1.46 ± 0.35 ) vs ( 1.71 ± 0.38 ),t =2.36,P ＜ 0.05 ).There were no significant differences in both the ratios of NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr between pre- and post-treatment (P＞0.05 ).The changes of NAA/Cr on left prefrontal lobe post-treatment were negatively related with the alterations of the total score of PANSS ( r =- 0.46,P ＜ 0.05 ),the score of negative symptoms ( r =- 0.48,P ＜ 0.05 ),the responses errors ( r =- 0.42,P ＜ 0.05 ) and the porseverative errors ( r =- 0.40,P ＜ 0.05 ),meanwhile,positively related with the alterations of the categories completed ( r =0.44,P ＜0.05 ) and the conceptual level responses ( r =0.42,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions Abnormalities in neuronal function and/or integrity presented on prefrontal lobe and thalamus maybe exist in male first-episode schizophrenics.Short-term antipsvchotic treatment with risperidone tablets may have no effects on measures of prefrontal lobe and thalamus.

Objective To compare the metabolic measures on prefrontal lobe and thalamus among schizophrenics with or without mental disorder family history by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1 H-MRS),and to explore the relationship among metabolic measures,clinical symptom,and executive functioning.Methods Thirty-one schizophrenics with schizophrenia family history,21 schizophrenics with the other mental disorder family history,and 78 schizophrenics without mental disorder family history were examined at prefrontal lobe and thalamus by multi-voxel 1H-MRS.The N-acetylaspartate (NAA),Choline-congtaining compounds (Cho),and Creatine compounds (Cr) were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr were determined.Meanwhile,Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) were also assessed in all schizophrenics.Results Both in schizophrenics with schizophrenia family history and with the other mental disorder family history,the NAA/Cr ratios showed lower than those in schizophrenics without mental disorder family history both on left prefrontal lobe and on fight thalamus ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Compared with schizophrenics without mental disorder family history,the score of negative symptoms and the perseverative errors demonstrated higher ( P＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ),the categories completed showed lower both in schizophrenics with schizophrenia family history and with the other mental disorder family history ( P＜0.05 ).The NAA/Cr ratios on left prefrontal lobe in all schizophrenics were significantly negatively related with the total score of PANSS and the responses errors (P ＜ 0.05 or P＜ 0.01 ),and positively related with the categories completed and the conceptual level responses ( P＜ 0.05 or P＜ 0.01 ).On left prefrontal lobe both in schizophrenics with schizophrenia family history and with the other mental disorder family history,the ratios of NAA/Cr were negatively related with the score of negative symptoms and the perseverative errors ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ).Conclusion The damages of neurons on prefrontal lobe and thalamus in schizophrenics with mental disorder family history may be more severe than those in schizophrenics without family history,and the damages on prefrontal lobe are related with negative symptoms and executive functioning.

Objective To identify the metabolic alterations in the prefrontal lobe in male patients with schizophrenia by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (~1H-MRS), and to study the relationship between metabolic alterations and executive function. Methods The study was conducted in 26 male schizophrenics with medicine-free for at least 7 days and 28 normal controls. A multi-voxel ~1H-MRS on the prefrontal lobe was performed in all the subjects within 24 hours of admission. Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) was used to evaluate executive function. The NAA, Cho and Cr were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr and NAA/(Cho+Cr) were calculated. Results Compared with normal controls, the patients demonstrated significantly lower NAA/Cr ratio (t=2.93, P<0.01) in the left prefrontal lobe and poorer performance in WCST (P<0.05). The NAA/Cr ratio in the left prefrontal lobe was positively associated with the responses errors and the perseverative errors of WCST(r=0.45, P＜0.05; r=0.47, P＜0.05)and negatively associated with the categories completed and conceptual level responses(r=-0.54, P＜0.01; r=-0.56, P＜0.01). Conclusions Abnormalities in neuronal function and/or integrity are present in the left prefrontal lobe of male schizophrenics. The neuron damage in the left prefrontal lobe of male schizophrenic may be the primary cause of cognition dysfunction.

Objective To compare the differences between the schizophrenics with negative and positive symptoms on prefrontal lobe and thalamus by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1 H-MRS). Methods 58 negative subtype and 51 positive subtype schizophrenics were examined at prefrontal lobe and thalamus by multivoxel 1H-MRS before antipsychotic treatment The N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline-containing compounds ( Cho), and creatine compounds (Cr) were measured and the ratios of NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr were determined. Results On right thalamus,the NAA/Cr ratio in negative subtype patients ( 1.40 ± 0.29 ) demonstrated lower than that in positive subtype ( 1.62 ± 0.33 ), the same phenomenon were appeared on male, female, non-first-episode, with-medicine and without-medicine patients (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). The Cho/Cr ratio on right thalamus in negative subtype of female,non-first-episode,without-medicine schizophrenics were lower than those in positive subtype (P ＜ 0.05 ).On left prefrontal lobe,left thalamus and right thalamus, the NAA/Cr ratios both in negative subtype and positive subtype schizophrenics were significantly negatively related with age of onset(P＜0. 05 or 0.01 ). In negative subtype schizophrenics,the Cho/Cr ratio on right thalamus was positively related with age of onset ( r = 0. 25, P ＜0.05 ). In negative subtype schizophrenics of non-first-episode, without-medicine, the correlation was negative between the NAA/Cr ratio and the course of disease( r= -0.48, -0.46, P＜0.05 ) ,and was positive between Cho/Cr ratio and the course of disease on right thalamus( r= 0.58,0.56, P＜ 0.01 ). Conlusion Compared with positive subtype schizophrenics,negative subtype schizophrenics have greater impairments on 1 H-MRS on right thalamus. The course of disease has greater effects on 1 H-MRS in negative subtype schizophrenics.

Objective To identify the metabolite levels in prefrontal lobe and thalamus in patients of schizophrenia with proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS). Methods Twenty-six schizophrenics with medicine-free for at least 7 d and 28 normal controls were assessed in this study. All subjects underwent examination of multi-voxel 1H-MRS on prefrontal lobe and thalamus within 24 h.

Results Compared with the controls, the NAA/Cr ratio of schizophrenics was significantly lower in left prefrontal lobe and bilateral thalamus (all P＜0.05). No statistical difference of NAA/(Cho+Cr) ratio and the Cho/Cr ratio was found between two groups. Conclusion Abnormalities in neuronal function and/or integrity are present at left prefrontal lobe and bilateral thalamus simultaneously in schizophrenics.

Life system has created rich and colorful genes, to protect the inheritance and prosperity after more than 4 billion years of natural evolution. However, the natural evolution is an extremely slow process, and the origin and evolution of new gene with new function often takes millions of years. Therefore, natural evolution alone cannot meet the rapid development of industrial biotechnological production needs. Using synthetic biology techniques, researchers can design and synthesize new genes based on the known enzyme catalysis mechanism and protein structure according to industrial production requirements, and create various biochemical reactions that cannot be catalyzed by natural living organisms. Although the new gene design technology shows exciting application prospects, there are now still many scientific and technological challenges, such as low success rate of design, low catalytic activity and high synthesis cost. With the rapid development of synthetic biology, the design, transformation, synthesis, screening and other technologies will be integrated into a mature technological process for the new gene design.

Objective To introduce the tibial intercondylar eminence hole (TIEH) and study its structure.Explore the connection between TIEH and the pathway how proximal tibial aggressive tumor break into the bony structure from articular cavity.Methods This retrospective study included 200 patient's CT 3-dimensional reconstruction materials from May 2017 to November 2017 in Qilu hospital randomly.There were 115 males and 85 females,the average age was 49 years (ranged from 12 to 90 years).To observe the existence of TIEH and identify its location and measurement with imaging techniques.According to 50 tibial plateau specimen after TKA and 5 specimen after car accident or amputation due to tumor,physical proof the existence of TIEH.The specific location,peripheral structure,coverage,content of TIEH as well as its top,walls and bottom were researched and analysed.Pathological staining was used and 1 cases undertook preoperation contrast agent observation.1 cases of typical cases were reviewed.Results TIEH was ubiquity according to all of the 200 cases.TIEH was located on the depression of tibial plateau,between the attachments of ACL and PCL.The hole was round type,and the diameter was 1.6±0.3 mm,the depth was 9.1±2.1 mm.1-3 Paraforamen (semidiamete≤7 mm) were found around the main TIEH in 53％ patients (106/200),the diameter and depth was less than the main hole.The CT value showed the orifice (472.5±30.1 HU) ＞ the pore wall (312.3±22.5 HU) ＞ the pore bottom (202.4±17.3 HU) ＞ the pore (118.3±10.4 HU) ＞ the orifice covering (75.0±11.1 HU).The synovial tissue septum was only 1 mm between the top of hole and the articular cavity.The top of TIEH was surrounded by articular cartilage,the walls and bottom were spongy bone,the content was dense connective tissue that didn't attach to the walls tightly.The peripheral spongy bone was easy to infiltrate by methylene blue.Preoperation radiography showed that TIEH had poor barrier function.Conclusion Tibial intercondylar eminence hole is an intrinsic structure of the human body.The coverage is weak,and it is easy to cause the tumor to hide and recur.The tumor may pass through this hole and bidirectionally enter between the proximal humerus and the joint cavity.
