Objective To investigate the distribution pattern of genome?wide CpG methylation in the animal model of APP/PS1 transgenic mice with Alzheimer′s disease(AD). Methods This study investigated the genome?wide DNA methylation profiles in the cortex tissues using methylat?ed DNA immunoprecipitation(MeDIP)combined with high?throughput sequencing. Results The analysis revealed 2 346 CpG sites existed only in AD mice,representing 485 unique genes as potentially associated with AD and these methylated DNA fragments distributed in different chromo?somes. Some hyper?methylated genes displayed familial aggregation. Conclusion There is significant difference in DNA methylation sites between APP/PS1 transgenic AD mice and corresponding wild mice,suggesting that DNA methylation may be involved in onset and development of AD.

Objective： Our aim was to purity the modifier protein of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase　(G3PD)　from African green monkey Vero-E6 line. Methods：Exposure of Vero-E6 cells to medium with a reduced K concentration (3.2 mmol/L) stimulated the growth and activation of G3PD. The increase of enzyme activity was mediated by a cytosolic modifier protein that was purified using affinity and anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatograph. Results：The apparent molecular mass of the protein was 62 kDa. Western blotting and quantiative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that the amount of modifier protein increased progressively for 2 hours in cells exposed to low-K+ medium, and then returned to the control value, a kinetic profile similar to that the modifier protein is a constituent of renal epithelial cells and accummulated transiently in the low-K+ mitogenic signal. Conclusion: We obtained a modifer protein from monkey kidney epithelial cells (Vero-E6). It could activate G3PD and cell growth.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinicopathological characteristics and imaging features of lung adenocarcinoma with a micropapillary pattern (MPP).

METHODSEighty cases of pulmonary adenocarcinoma with a micropapillary pattern treated in our hospital from July 2011 to December 2012 were selected to retrospectively analyze their clinicopathological characteristics and imaging features.

RESULTSAmong the 80 cases of lung adenocarcinoma with MPP, there were 38 cases of stage I (47.5%), 12 cases of stage II (15.0%), 25 cases of stage III (31.3%) and 5 cases of stage IV (6.2%). There were 14 cases of moderately differentiated (17.5%) and moderately/poorly differentiated (82.5%) tumors. Sixty-three cases had pleural involvement, vascular invasion, involving the bronchial wall, invasion of large vessels, nerve invasion, and lymph node metastasis (at least one of them) (78.8%). Immunohistochemical staining revealed that both positive rates of TTF-1 and CK7 were 100%, and that of pulmonary surfactant apolipoprotein-A (SPA) was 84.0%. Imaging examination revealed hilar or mediastinal lymph node enlargement in 15 cases (18.8%). but the pathology confirmed hilar or mediastinal lymph node metastasis in 36 cases (45.0%). Lung CT imaging showed that the majority of the cases were peripheral type, and only a few of central type, and most cases were solid lesions, with lobulation, spiculation, pleural indentation, and vascular convergence sign, while there were few ground-glass opacity sign and vacuole sign.

CONCLUSIONSLung adenocarcinoma with MPP component often presents with early invasions of pleura, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and lymph nodes. Imaging manifestation of this cancer mainly shows as peripheral and solid lesions, often with lobulation, spiculation, pleural indentation, vascular convergence sign, but GGO and vacuole signs are unusual. Overexpression of TTF-1, CK7 and SPA, and elevated CEA level are associated with clinical staging of the disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical manifestations and imaging features of isolated cortical vein thrombosis (ICoVT).Methods The data of patients with ICoVT admitted and treated in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from 2005 to 2015 were collected.Their clinical manifestations and imaging features were analyzed.Results A total of 104 patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis were enrolled.Seven (6.7％) of them with ICoVT were enrolled in the analysis.There were 6 women (85.7％).Their average age was 35 years (range 25-46 years).Headache (n =6;85.7％),seizures (n=5;71.4％),and limb paralysis and numbness (n =4;57.1％) were the most common clinical manifestations.All patients underwent head CT,MRI,and magnetic resonance venography (MRV).Focal cerebral tissue edema (n =5;71.4％) and hemorrhagic infarction (n =3;42.9％) were the most common imaging features.Susceptibility weighted imaging of 3 cases revealed cord-like hypointensity,indicating the formation of venous thrombosis.The clinical symptoms of all patients were relieved after anticoagulant therapy.They were followed up for 1.5 years and no recurrence was observed.Conclusion Headache and seizures are the most common clinical symptoms of IcoVT.Imaging is mostly manifested as focal cerebral edema or hemorrhagic infarction.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of type 2 vesicular monoamine transporter molecular probe,18 F-FP-(+)-DTBZ, in the monitoring of total islet β cell mass in animal models. Methods Two groups of Wistar rats were included in this study. In the type 1 diabetes group ( n = 6 ) , the streptozotocin ( STZ) was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 65 mg/kg, and the control group ( n= 6 ) was likewisely injected with an equal volume of saline, Micro- positron emission tomography ( PET )/ computed tomography ( CT) imaging was performed at these rats post injection of18 F-FP-(+)-DTBZ at 0. 5, 1, 4, 6, and 12 months after STZ or saline injection, bodyweight and glucose level were also measured. Results The average standardized uptake values ( SUV) in the pancreas in the type 1 diabetes rats were decreased significantly than that of the control group at 0.5, 1, and, 4 months ( P<0.05) , and there was no significant difference at 6th and 12th months ( P>0.05) post injection of STZ and saline. Fasting blood glucose positively correlated with pancreatic SUV in the two groups at 0.5, 1, and 4 months (P<0.05) post injection of STZ and saline. Conclusion 18F-FP-(+)-DTBZ PET imaging is a promising method for dynamic monitoringβcell mass in type 1 diabetic rats.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment of cervical lymph node tuberculosis.METHODS The clinical data of 100 patients with cervical lymph node tuberculosis admitted in our hospital from 2007 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS Most of the patients with cervical lymph node tuberculosis presented with cervical mass alone,only 8 cases associated with fever,night sweats,fatigue and other systemic symptoms of poisoning.Ninety five patients were diagnosed by postoperative pathological examination,while 15 patients were diagnosed with fine needle aspiration preoperatively.Ninety five patients received surgical treatment with postoperative systemic anti-tuberculosis treatment for 6 months,the remaining 5 patients given standard antituberculosis treatment.All of the patients got satisfactory results.There were three operative methods:simple cervical lymph node resection(31 cases),cervical lymph node dissection(53 cases),and abscess incision debridement(ll cases).All patients had no recurrence.CONCLUSION The clinical manifestation of cervical lymph node tuberculosis are complicated,the positive rate of fine needle aspiration biopsy is low.Postoperative pathological examination can help to further confirm the diagnosis.Surgical treatment combined with postoperative systemic standard anti-tuberculosis therapy can be used to cervical lymph node tuberculosis.

Objective To compare the efficacy of sound therapy and conventional medical treatment in the treatment of chronic tinnitus.Methods CNKI,Wanfang database,Weipu database (VIP),Chinese biomedical literature database (CBM),Pubmed,Embase,OVID,SciVerse ScienceDirect and Cochrane library were used.The data were retrieved up to May 2017,and the relevant literature was screened according to the inclusion and emission standards.The quality of the literatures were analyzed and the data was extracted.Meta analysis was carried out by using Revman 5.2 software with total effective rate,tinnitus handicap inventory(THI) value and visual analogue scale(VAS) value.Results A total of 16 articles (1 594 patients) were included in the literature,including 14 articles in Chinese and 2 articles in English.The total effective rate in the sound therapy group were 86.42 ％ (by patients) and 80.50％ (by ears),while in conventional medical treatment group were 60.62％ (by patients),and 48.10％ (by ear),respectively[P＜0.01 (by patients),P＜0.01 (by ear)].The changes of THI value were analyzed before and after treatment,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.01).The changes of VAS value were analyzed before and after treatment,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Compared with conventional medical treatment,sound therapy can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of tinnitus treatment and reduce the symptoms in tinnitus patients.

Objective:To investigate the correlations between cerebral β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition assessed by 18F-florbetapir (AV45) PET imaging and clinical cognitive symptoms in patients with subtle cognitive decline (SCD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods:Data of twenty-four patients (11 males, 13 females, age: (63.2±7.6) years) diagnosed as SCD ( n=15) or MCI ( n=9) from December 2018 to March 2019 in Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People′s Hospital were collected prospectively. All patients underwent 18F-AV45 PET imaging, brain MRI T 1 scan and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) within two weeks. 18F-AV45 PET images were analyzed visually (positive, mild positive, negative). After being pretreated according to the MRI, 18F-AV45 PET images were analyzed semi-quantitatively by calculating the standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) of Aβ deposition in 8 regions of interest (ROIs; frontal lobe, lateral parietal lobe, lateral temporal lobe, medial temporal lobe, occipital lobe, basal ganglia, posterior cingulate and precuneus), with cerebellar gray matter as the reference. Partial correlation coefficients between regional SUVRs and MMSE score were calculated. Results:18F-AV45 PET imaging showed that 16 patients with positive results and 8 patients with mild positive results. MMSE score of 24 patients was 28.2±2.0, and the SUVR was 0.93-1.87. Correlation analysis revealed that Aβ deposition in frontal cortex ( r=-0.432), posterior cingulate lobe ( r=-0.434) and precuneus ( r=-0.418) was negatively correlated with MMSE score (all P<0.05); and no significant correlations between SUVR and MMSE in other brain regions were found ( r values: from -0.412 to -0.110, all P>0.05). Conclusion:18F-AV45 PET imaging can noninvasively detect brain Aβ deposition in patients, and can effectively reflect the clinical cognitive status of patients with SCD and MCI to a certain extent.
