BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that apoptosis is closely related to the pathogenesis of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis. The release of cytochrome c plays a very important role in the process of apoptosis.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of cytochrome c on early steroid-induced femoral head necrosis.
METHODS:Twenty-four healthy adult male New Zealand rabbits at 5 months old were randomly divided into model group and control group (n=12 per group). Models of early steroid-induced femoral head necrosis were established by intragluteal injection of hormone combined with ear vein injection of horse serum. In the control group, rabbits were given ear vein injection of the same amount of physiological saline. At 2, 4 and 6 weeks after model establishment, histopathological changes of bilateral femoral head were observed by optical microscope, and the ratio of empty lacuna was calculated. Apoptosis of osteocytes was determined by TUNEL assay, and apoptotic index was calculated. Immunohistochemical method was used to determine cytochrome c and to calculate cytochrome c-positive expression rate.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The ratio of empty lacuna and apoptotic index:The model of early steroid-induced femoral head necrosis was successful y established in the experiment. Compared with the control group, ratio of empty lacuna, apoptotic index and expression rate of cytochrome c in osteocytes were significantly higher in the model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). (2) Correlation analysis:Ratio of empty lacuna was significantly positively associated with apoptotic index at various time points in the model group (r=0.856, P<0.01). Expression rate of cytochrome c was significantly positively associated with apoptotic index at various time points in the model group (r=0.824, P<0.01). (3) These findings confirm that cytochrome c-involved apoptosis of osteocytes may play an important role in steroid-induced femoral head necrosis. Expression rate of cytochrome c in osteocytes is remarkably positively associated with the occurrence of steroid-induced femoral head necrosis in rabbits.

Objective To investigate the effect of using prophylactic antidepressant treatment with citalopram on motor function recovery in patients with acute cortical infarction. Methods The patients with first-ever acute middle cerebral artery territory cortical infarction and with upper limb motor deficits within 24 h after onset were enrol ed prospectively. They were randomly divided into either a citalopram group or a control group. On the basis of conventional treatment, the citalopram group was given citalopram hydrobromide tablets oral y (20 mg/d) within 48 h after onset of stroke for 30 d. The 17-item Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale (17-item HDRS) was used to conduct the assessment of depressive symptoms before and after treatment. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale ( NIHSS ) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) hand motor function score were used to conduct function assessment before and after treatment. Results A total of 66 patients were enrol ed in the analysis, including 32 patients in the citalopram group and 34 in the control group. There was no significant difference in baseline clinical data between the 2 groups. The baseline stroke severity of al patients was moderate (NIHSS score 5-15). Compared with baseline level at day 30 after the treatment, the HDRS score of the citalopram group was improved significantly (6. 70 ± 3. 58vs. 9. 86 ± 3. 48; t= 3. 380, P= 0. 001 ). However, there was no significant difference with the control group after treatment (6. 70 ± 3. 58 vs. 8. 12 ± 2. 96;t=1. 745, P=0. 086). The NIHSS scores in the citalopram group and the control group were decreased respectively (4. 30 ± 1. 88 vs. 2. 00 ± 1. 24;t=5. 900, P<0. 001). The hand FMA scores were increased significantly (4. 00 ± 0. 70 vs. 1. 42 ± 1. 91;t=7. 197, P<0. 001). There was significant difference between the 2 groups. In addition, the hand motor function score at day 30 after treatment was more than 25% of the baseline recovery in 14 patients of the citalopram group (43. 8%) and in 5 of the control group (14. 7%). The citalopram group was significantly higher than the control group (χ2 =6. 783, P=0. 009 ). Conclusions Early prescription of citalopram can significantly promote the motor function recovery in acute cortical infarction patients with moderate motor deficit and its mechanism may not be associated the antidepressant effect.

BACKGROUND:Tumor cels are resistant to chemotherapeutic drugs, and drug resistance is closely correlated with tumor stem cels. Therefore, how to kil tumor stem cels wil become the key to the treatment of oral squamous cel carcinoma. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of 5-fluorouracil on biological characteristics of tongue squamous cel carcinoma Tca8113 cels. METHODS:Viability of Tca8113 cels treated with different concentrations of 5-fluorouracil was determined by cel counting kit-8, and the best drug concentration and time were screened for subsequent experiments. Tca8113 cels without 5-fluorouracil acted as control group. Then the cel cycle and percentage of the side population cels in Tca8113 cels were determined by flow cytometry. Scratch test was used to determine the migration ability of Tca8113 cels. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Results from cel counting kit-8 showed that 5-fluorouracil inhibited the viability of Tca8113 cels positively in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Tca8113 cels under intervention with 50 mg/L 5-fluorouracil for 48 hours showed lowest cel viability. Flow cytometry results showed that in the experimental group, G0/G1 phase cels increased significantly compared with the control group (P=0.01), S phase cels decreased significantly compared with the control group (P=0.244), and G2/M phase cels disappeared completely. After treatment with 5-fluorouracil, the percentage of side population cels was increased significantly (P=0.00). The scratch test showed that in the experimental group, the cels had better ability of wound healing than those in the control group. In conclusion, 5-fluorouracil can enrich the cancer stem cel population in Tca8113 cels.

Objective To explore the characteristics of attachment and the effects of childhood trauma,emotional autonomy and parental rearing style of anxiety disorders.Methods 38 outpatients and hospital patients in Anhui Mental Health Center with anxiety were recruited as the study group,and 39 age-,gender-,and educationmatched adult college students or medical staff were screened as the control group.The study group and control group were assessed with adult attachment questionnaire3.1 (AAQ3.1),parental bonding instrument (PBI),childhood trauma questionnaire 28item short form (CTQ-SF) and emotional autonomy scale (EAS).Results ①Higher levels of insecure adult attachment (84.2％) were reported in the anxiety disorders group compared with the normal controls(10.3％),and the attachment type of two groups had statistical significance(x2 =42.28,P＜0.01).② The attachment of anxiety disorders,emotional autonomy,childhood trauma and the way of parenting was related to different degree.Attachment,childhood trauma and parenting were significantly increased in the anxiety disorders group compared with the normal controls(P＜0.05).The mother attachment factors were significantly correlated with individualized (r=0.405,P＜0.405),mother love (r=0.358,P＜0.358),mother control (r=0.467,P＜0.467),father control (r=0.460,P＜0.01),emotional abuse (r=0.473,P＜0.473) and sexual abuse (r=0.494,P＜0.01).The father attachment factors were significantly correlated with individualized (r=0.520,P＜0.01),emotional abuse (r=0.339,P＜0.339) and sexual abuse (r=0.378,P＜0.05).And individualized,mother love,parental control,emotional and physical abuse could be employed to predict attachment factor.Conclusion The attachment pattern is insecure in the anxiety disorders.Emotional autonomy,childhood trauma and parenting have a significant influence on attachment patterns of anxiety disorders.

Objective The effects of nemo-like kinase(NLK)in inflammation of central nervous system were explored. Methods An animal model with central nervous system inflammation disease induced by intracerebroventricular infusion of lipopolysaccharide was constructed. A model of neuronal apoptosis induced by glutamate in PC12 cells was constructed. A pcdna 3.1-NLK over-expression plasmid and a pSilencer 4. 1-CMV-NLK small interfering plasmid were also constructed. The expression and location of NLK were detected using western blot analysis, double immunofluorescent staining, and cell counting kit-8 assay. Results The protein level of NLK was reduced after induction of inflammation in the brain(t =2. 718-3. 106, all P ＜0. 01), and NLK was only expressed in both cortical and hippocampal neurons. At the cellular level, NLK expression was gradually reduced along with neuronal apoptosis induced by glutamate in PC12(t =4. 032, P ＜0. 01). Over-expression of NLK would reduce the apoptosis of neurons induced by glutamate(t =3. 930, P ＜ 0. 01). Conversely, interfering the expression of NLK would enhance neuronal apoptosis(t = 2. 845, P ＜ 0. 01). Conclusion NLK can protect neurons by inhibiting apoptosis in the process of central nervous system inflammation.
