1.The development of evaluation in cerebral palsy
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(1):88-91
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of syndrome caused by a non-progressive brain injury that occurs from before birth to 28 days after birth. The principal symptoms of CP are abnormal centrocinesia and irregular posture, or accompanied by intelligence disorders, seizures, dystropy, sensory impairments and other dysfunctions. To evaluate the function of children with cerebral palsy can assess disfuction level,judge clinical classification, estimate prognosis, and more importantly guide to establish treatment plan and evaluate therapeutic efficacy. At present, there are no unified standards to evaluate CP at home and abroad, So this article will overview evaluation methods of CP commonly used in recent years.

BACKGROUND:With the social and economic development and aging, coronary heart disease has become the primary cause of death endangering human life and health, while cardiovascular intervention (especial y stenting) in the treatment of cardiovascular disease is at a growing status. OBJECTIVE:To describe the development, research progress and latest clinical application of heart interventional materials as wel as advantages and disadvantages of biodegradable stents, and meanwhile to prospect for its future development and improvement. METHODS:A computer-based online search was conducted in PubMed for English language publications from January 1999 to April 2014 using the key words of“stent, scaffold, bioabsorbable, bioresorbable, biodegradable, biocompatibility, material properties”in English. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The new ful y biodegradable stents are considered as another major progress in the cardiac intervention, which brings a new gospel for patients with coronary heart disease. In the initial stage of implantation, biodegradable stents exhibit the same mechanical support as bare metal stents;after implantation, anti-proliferative drugs are released to prevent thrombosis and restenosis, and the stent is completely degraded within a specified period, which significantly reduces the late-stage and very late-stage thrombosis and the risk of in-stent restenosis. However, long-term safety and efficacy of biodegradable stents need further studies. Innovation of stent design and materials science is the key to overcome the current shortcomings of biodegradable stents.

Objective To explore the protective effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) on diabetic myocardium and anoxic pre-conditioning (AP).Methods Eight-week-- old male Sprague-Dawley rats were given with a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg)to induce diabetes mellitus (DM).Donor rats were 8-week-old male Sprague - Dawley rats.Before transplantation,MSC were incubated in CM-DiI at a concentration of 2 μg/mL for 20 min.AP-MSC were exposed to 3 hours of anoxia.At 4 months after STZ injection,diabetic rats were randomly given with an intramyocardial injection of one of the followings:150 μL of Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium ( DMEM),5 ×106 MSC/150 μL,or 5 × 106 AP - MSC/150 μL (n =10 for each group).Three months after STZ injection and 2 weeks after transplantation,we evaluated the cardiac function by echocardiography,and also evaluated the cardiac conditions by alkaline phosphatase staining,western blot analysis for apoptosis related proteins and signal pathways.Results MSC,especially AP- MSC increased fractional shortening (FS) of diabetic heart (P <0.01 vs DMEM respectively).AP-MSC greatly increased the capillary density of diabetic myocardium (P <0.01 vs DMEM and MSC group respectively).AP-MSC are anti-apoptotic in the rat DCM model,possibly mediated through cardiac upregulation of Bcl-2/Bax ratio ( P < 0.05 ) and inhibiting the expression and activation of caspase - 3 ( P < 0.01 ).Conclusions Intramyocardial transplantation of APMSC has a protective effect on diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Objective To evaluate the image deformation and measurement error of rotational DSA by model experiment. Methods Five steel balls (diameter: 20 mm) were placed in a horizontal space of 30 mm, the middle of which was as the isocenter for rotational DSA acquisition. Another 5 steel balls (diameter: 10 mm) were placed in a vertical space of 30 mm with the same alignment for rotational DSA acquisition. The screen was divided into five regions and the morphological changes of the ball image were observed at each rotation angle. The experimental images of the left anterior oblique ball images at 20°, 40°and 60° among each two groups were selected and measured by automatic isocenter calibration and sphere calibration respectively, and compared with the actual diameters of balls to calculate the image magnification. Results Except the center one, other balls were of deformation at different rotation angles due to the distance to the detector leading to enlargement and reduction. With automatic isocenter calibration, only the diameter of the center ball corresponded with the actual one, the distance away from the center or the rotation angle was inversely proportional to measurement error (maximum magnification 12.42%).With sphere calibration, the measurement results in various regions at different rotation angle were basically the same, with smaller measurement error (maximum magnification 3.41%). Conclusion Placing the organ of interest in the center area can reduce image distortion in rotational DSA imaging. Selecting reasonable measuring technology according to the lesion location is helpful to control measurement errors.

Background and purpose: MORC2 (microrchidia family CW-type zinc finger 2, MORC2) is a newly identified chromatin remodeling protein that plays key roles in DNA-based biological processes including gene transcription and DNA damage repair. However, its functional role in breast cancer development and progression re-mains unknown. ALDH1A3 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member A3), a member of the aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDH) superfamily, is a putative breast cancer stem cell marker, but its regulatory mechanism in breast cancer is poor-ly characterized. This study aimed to investigate the effects of knockdown of endogenous MORC2 on the expression levels of ALDH1A3 and the breast cancer stem-like phenotype in MCF-7 cells. Methods: Human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were infected with negative control short hairpin RNAs (shNC) and specific shRNAs targeting human MORC2 (shMORC2), followed by selection with puromycin to generate stable MORC2 gene knockdown cell lines. Western blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RTFQ-PCR) were used to examine the protein and mRNA levels of ALDH1A3 in MCF-7 cells stably expressing shNC and shMORC2. Microsphere formation and fluo-rescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) assays were used to analyze the effects of knockdown of MORC2 on the breast cancer stem-like phenotype. Results: Western blot and RTFQ-PCR analyses revealed that the protein and mRNA levels of ALDH1A3 were significantly down-regulated in shMORC2 expressing cells as compared with shNC -transfected control cells. Moreover, mammosphere formation assay showed that knockdown of endogenous MORC2 in MCF-7 cells significantly reduced the ability of cells to form microspheres. Consistently, FACS assays demonstrated that shMORC2-transfected cells had a lower proportion of ALDH-positive stem cells as compared with shNC expressing cells. In contrast, knockdown of MORC2 did not significantly affect the CD44+CD24- stem cell population. Conclusion:MORC2 promotes a breast cancer stem-like phenotype through, at least in part, regulating ALDH1A3 expression.
