Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by persistent deficits in social communication and restricted, repetitive patterns of behavior and interest. Sleep problems are not uncommon in children with autism spectrum disorders. Symptoms of insomnia are the most frequent sleep problems in individuals with ASD. Sleep problems can cause significant difficulties in the daily life of children with ASD and their families. Genetic factor, deregulations of melatonin synthesis, extraneous environmental stimuli and psychiatric and medical conditions may cause sleep problems. The first line treatment of sleep problems in ASD includes managements for potential contributing factors and parent education about sleep hygiene care for child and behavioral therapy. Supplementation with melatonin may be effective before considering other medications, such as risperidone, clonidine, and mirtazapine.

BACKGROUND: Group pre-test has confirmed that amnion endothelial cell conditioned medium can induce human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells into dopaminergic neuron-like cells. In this process, neurotrophic factors and their receptors may play an important role. OBJECTIVE: To study the function of neurotrophic factors secreted by amniotic epithelial cells in the differentiation of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells into neurons.METHODS: P1 human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells at 2×10~8 /L were incubated and assigned to 3 group. Control group was added with HG-DMEM medium. Induction group received human amniotic epithelial cell medium. Blocking agent group underwent blocking agent K252a fluid, and the incubated was conducted at 36 ℃ for 40 minutes, and then amniotic epithelial cell medium was added. Immunofluorescence chemistry was used to determine neuron specific enolase and dopamine transporter expression in human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells. Real-time quantitative PCR was employed to detect neuron specific enolase, dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase expression in human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Nerve growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor were observed in human amniotic supernatant. P1 human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells expressed Trka and Trkb. Forty-eight hours following induction, compared with the control group, positive expression of neuron specific enolase and dopamine transporter was significantly increased in the induction and blocking agent groups (P < 0.05), especially in the induction group (P < 0.05). Neuron specific enolase, dopamine transporter and tyrosine hydroxylase mRNA levels were significantly greater in the induction and blocking agent groups compared with the control group (P < 0.01), and each gene mRNA levels were significantly greater in the induction group than in the blocking agent group (P < 0.01). Results verified that neurotrophic factor in the human amniotic epithelial cells plays important effects on differentiation of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells into neurons. The promotion effects are mediated by activating Trk receptor.

Objective To explore the clinical value of tissue synchronization imaging(TSI) in assessment of the characteristics of myocardium asynchrony in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy(ICM). Methods Thirty-eight patients with ICM were divided into two groups: 26 patients without left bundle branch block(LBBB) in group A, and 12 patients with LBBB in group B. The control group consisted of 26 normal healthy subjects. According to 2D color,the characteristics of myocardium motion in each group were compared by TSI. The time for reaching systolic velocity peak(Ts) and early diastole velicity peak(Te) were measured separately in 12 segments. Standard deviations of Ts(Ts-SD) and Te(Te-SD) as well as difference of Ts(Ts max-min) and Te(Te max-min) of all 12 segments were calculated. The myocardium synchronization were assessed in each group. Results ①91.8% segments in the control group showed normal, with only 8.2% segments were slightly prolonged. TSI of all the ICM patients showed an obvious uneven chroma distribution from green to yellow and then to red. There were far more yellow or red segments than in the control group. ②Ts-SD.Ts max-min of LV 12 segments were significantly prolonged in all ICM groups compared with that in the control group ( P <0. 05). Systolic asynchrony was more obvious in group B than in group A. ③Te-SD,Te max-min of LV 12 segments were significantly prolonged in ICM groups than in the control group ( P < 0. 05). Diastolic asynchrony was more obvious in group B than in group A( P < 0. 05). ④Compared with that in the control group, postsystolic shortening(PSS) was common in patients with ICM. 32. 4% segments of group A were detected PSS.and 56. 0% segments of group B were detected PSS. Conclusions Left ventricular systolic and diastolic mechanical asynchrony is obvious in patients with ICM and PSS is common among them. Systolic and diastolic mechanical asynchrony is more severe in ICM patients with LBBB. TSI is the optimal means to evaluate the characteristics of asynchronous myocardial contraction.

Aim: To observe the effects of sarsasapogenin ( SAR) on osteoblasts and osteoclasts cultured in vitro. Methods: Colonal murine calvarial osteoblast-like cell line MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in vitro. MTT,p-nitropheneye phosphate and tinctorial method of alizarin Bordeaux were used to investigate the effects of SAR on the proliferation, ALP expression, and mineralization tuberculation of MC3T3-E1 cells. Mature osteoclasts were i-solated from the long bone of one-day rat. Meanwhile, marrow cells of mouse bone were cultured with induction of 1,25( OH)_2VitD_3. During the culturing of osteoclasts or marrow cells, SAR of different concentrations was added into the medium. The number of osteoclasts was recognized as tartrate resistant acid phosphatase( TRAP) ( +) multinucleate cells and the resorption lacuna on bone slice were examined with toluidine blue staining. Results: Comparing with the control group, SAR (0.01, 0. 1, 1μg/mL) significanthy increased the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells (P <0. 05, P <0. 01). There was no significant difference in the expression of ALP in early pro-liferating MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to SAR of 0.01,0. 1, 1μg/mL, but in the differentiation phase MC3T3-E1 cells, SAR improved ALP activity very significantly if compared with the control group, of which SAR of 1 μg/mL had the most promotion effect(P <0. 01). In addition, compared to the control group, there were, to various ex-tents, increased in the number of mineral nodes in MC3T3-E1 cells after 15day incubation with SAR of different conentrations. Furthermore, no obvious effects of 0.01-1μg/mL SAR on mature osteoclast were observed. But typical osteoclasts were formed when marrow cells were cultured with the induction of 1,25(OH)_2D_3 in medium for 7 days while little or no osteoclasts were induced from marrow cells in the presence of SAR. Conclusion: The results suggest that SAR can effectively promote the proliferation, differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts cultured in vitro. Besides, SAR can inhibit the generation of osteoclasts from marrow cells.

Purpose To explore the effect of miR-100 in rat liver development and the occurrence of liver cancer. Methods The liv-er tissues of neonate SD rats, adult SD rats and 2-AAF/PH rats were collected, then real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and FISH methods were used to detect the expression of miR-100 in the liver tissues. Results The expres-sion level of miR-100 in adult SD rats liver tissues was significantly higher than that in neonate SD rats liver tissues (P<0. 05). Com-pared with the adult rats, the expression level of miR-100 in 2-AAF/PH rats liver tissues was obviously decline (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion miR-100 can as a maker of liver mature, and its deletion maybe related to the tumor formation.
