MicroRNA(miR),a type of 22nt non-coding RNA,modulate gene expression at posttranscriptional level by interacting with targeting mRNA and play an important role in both inflammatory reaction and autoimmune diseases.Especially,the expression of miR-146a in autoimmune diseases has gotten more and more attention in recent studies.This review summarized the correlation between the expression of miR-146a and the pathogenesis of some common autoimmune diseases.What's more,the potential role of miR-146a in the clinical diagnosis of autoimmune diseases are also discussed.

Objective To investigate the effects of intravenous injection of α-crystallin on retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and some important organs of the Long Evans rats. Methods RGC were retrogradelabeled by fluorogold through bilateral superior colliculus and lateral geniculate body for seven days before optic nerve crush injury. Twenty-three Long Evans rats were used for this study, including three rats of normal control group and 20 rats of experimental group. Twenty rats were randomly divided into saline control group and three α-crystallin injection groups, which received tail vein injection of 1.25 ml isotonic saline and three different concentrations (1 × 10-2 , 1 × 10-1 and 1 g/L) of α-crystallin respectively, once every two days and totally seven times. After two weeks, the labeled RGC were counted, and the pathological changes on liver, kidney, brain, spleen and the lungs were investigated. Results Compared with the normal control group, although the number of RGC markedly decreased after two weeks of optic nerve crush injury in every group, the number of RGC in α-crystallin-treated groups was more than those in the saline control group. There were 2074± 150 RGC per mm2 in normal control group, 85 ± 15 RGC per mm2 in saline control group, 124±26 RGC per mm2 in 1 × 10-2 g/L α-crystallin group, 128± 31 RGC per mm2 in 1 × 10-1 g/L α-crystallin group, 164 ± 20 RGC per mm2 in 1 g/L α-crystallin group (F= 18. 660,P＜0. 01). No congestion, swelling, inflammation and other pathological changes were found in liver,kidney, brain, spleen and lung. Conclusions Intravenous injection of α-crystallin protein has protective effects on RGC after the optic nerve crush injury, and no significant effects on important organs.

Exploring the functional network during the interaction between emotion and cognition is an important way to reveal the underlying neural connections in the brain. Sparse Bayesian network (SBN) has been used to analyze causal characteristics of brain regions and has gradually been applied to the research of brain network. In this study, we got theta band and alpha band from emotion electroencephalogram (EEG) of 22 subjects, constructed effective networks of different arousal, and analyzed measurements of complex network including degree, average clustering coefficient and characteristic path length. We found that: (1) compared with EEG signal of low arousal, left middle temporal extensively interacted with other regions in high arousal, while right superior frontal interacted less; (2) average clustering coefficient was higher in high arousal and characteristic path length was shorter in low arousal.

Objective To determine the respiratory depression effect-site concentration (Ce) of remifentanil when used in combination with different target concentrations of propofol in patients undergoing neurosurgical surgery. Method Eighty patients aged 18-64 yr weighing 45-90 kg scheduled for elective neurosurgical surgery were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 20 each): remifentanil group (group R), remifentanil combined with propefol 1, 1.5, 2 μg/ml group (group RP1, RP1.5, RP2). In group R, RP1, RP1.5 or RP2, the patients received propofol by TCI at target plasma concentration (Cp) of 0, 1, 1.5 or 2 μg/ml respectively, when the preset concentration was reached, received remifentanil via TCI at the initial target Cp of 2 ng/ml, and the concentration was then increased in the increment of 2 ng/ml at 3 min intervals until respiratory depression was achieved. Respiratory depression was defined as one of the following end points: muscle rigidity, RR<6 bpm, MV < 3 L/min, PETCO_2> 55 mm Hg, SpO_2 < 90% or apnea > 15 s. The Ce of remifentanil, amount of remifentanil used and side effects were recorded during respiratory depression. Result The respiratory depression Ce of remifentanil were (5.2±2.1), (3.2±1.0), (2.9 ±1.3) and (2.2±1.0) ng/ml in group R, RP1, RP1,5 and RP2 respectively. Compared with group R, the respiratory depression Ce of remifentanil were significantly decreased in group RP1, RP1.5 and RP2 (P<0.01). Compared with group RP1 and RP1.5, the respiratory depression Ce of remifentanil was significantly decreased in group RP2(P<0.01). There was no significant difference in respiratory depression Ce of remifentanil between group RP1 and RP1.5 (P > 0.05). Conclusion The respiratory depression Ce of remifentanil is (5.2±2.1) μg/ml in patients without sedation. The respiratory depression Ces of remifentanil are (3.2 ±1.0), (2.9 ± 1.3) and (2.2 ±1.0) ng/ml in patients under sedation with propofoi at target Cps of 1, 1.5, 2 μg/ml during neurosurgical surgery.
