Multiple sclerosis ( MS) is an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system ( CNS) characterized by demyelination and inflammation lesions.MS predominantly affects young adults with a high incidence of disability. However, the exact pathogenesis of MS is still not clear.Studies found that microglia polarization tending to pro-inflammatory M1-like state during the onset of MS, causing the M1/M2 ratio imbalance, forming pro-inflammatory microenvironment state, and which further leading to nervous tissue damage ultimately.Microglia polarization may be considered as the initiator of pathologic alterations by releasing pro-inflammatory cytokines and secondarily trigger the initial microglia response.Given the pivotal role of imbalanced microglia polarization in MS initiation, a critical review of microglia polarization is presented here, in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of MS and highlight the noteworthy candidate therapeutic targets for clinic treatment.

BACKGROUND:Low-temperature rapid prototyping technology is a new kind of rapid prototyping technology, and it is rapidly used in the preparation of bone tissue engineering scaffolds because it can make scaffold forming control able and can keep the biological activity of the materials, also can easily realize the scaffold with porous of three-dimensional structure and other advantages.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preparation process of polyethylene glycol-modified polylactic acid-glycolic acid/nano-hydroxyapatite (PLGA-PEG/n-HA) using the low-temperature rapid prototyping, and to test its performance.
METHODS:PLGA-PEG/n-HA and PLGA/n-HA were prepared by low-temperature rapid prototyping equipment. Under an electron microscopy, we observed ultra-structure of the scaffolds. Immersion (ethanol) method was used to test the porosity, and electronic testing machine was used to determine the material mechanical properties. Then these two kinds of scaffolds with rat osteoblasts were cultured in vitro, the cel adhesion rate was detected by precipitation method after 12 hours, and cel counting kit-8 method was used to determine the cel proliferation at culture days 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both of the two scaffolds had ideal aperture range and high porosity. But the aperture range of PLGA-PEG/n-HA scaffolds had large fluctuations, and the average aperture was smal er than that of PLGA/n-HA. Some pores were closed up. The cel adhesion rate and the cel growth curve of PLGA-PEG/n-HA was better than that of PLGA/n-HA (P<0.05), but the mechanical properties were less than PLGA/n-HA (P<0.05). The results showed the PLGA-PEG/n-HA scaffolds had good cel compatibility.

Objective To investigate radiation induced bystander effect and its mechanism on hepatoma HepG2 cells under hypoxia condition. Methods Non-irradiated bystander hepatoma cells were co-cultured with irradiated cells or treated with the conditioned medium (CM) from irradiated cells, then micronuclei (MN) were measured for both irradiated cells and bystander cells. Results The MN yield of irradiated HepG2 cells under hypoxic condition was significantly lower than that under normoxia, the oxygen enhancement ratio of HepG2 cells of MN was 1.6. For both hypoxic and normoxic condition, the MN yield of bystander cells were obviously enhanced to a similar high level after co-culturing with irradiated cells or with CM treatment, and it also correlated with the irradiation dose. When the hypoxic HepG2 cells were treated with either DMSO, a scavenger of reactive oxygen species (ROS), or aminognanidine, an iNOS inhibitor, the yield of bystander MN was partly diminished, and the reducing rate of DMSO was 42.2%-46.7 %, the reducing rate of aminognanidine was 42 %. Conclusion ROS, NO and their downstream signal facets are involved in the radiation induced bystander effect of hypoxic HepG2 cells.

Objective To observe the effects of low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields (LFPEMFs) on microcirculation angiogenesis in the hindlimbs of diabetic rats with acute ischemia. Methods Models of acute hindlimb ischemia were established in 60 male Sprague-Dawley diabetic rats. The diabetes model was established using 60 mg/kg intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin (STZ). Fasting blood glucose levels were greater than 300 mg/dL. The rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The rats in the experimental group were exposed to low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields for 2 hours each day, while the control group was not given any treatment. Laser-Doppler perfusion was used to measure blood flow in the ischemic hindlimb on days 0,7, 14 and 28 after the operation. The immunofluorescence of rat endothelial cell antigen-1 ( RECA-1) was used to evaluate the changes in angiogenesis. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) were determined by both Western blotting and ELISA, and VEGFR2 and FGFR1 levels in the ischemic skeletal muscle were determined by Western blotting on days 7, 14 and 28 after the operation. Results The average perfusion ratio was significantly greater in the experimental group at days 14 and 28 compared with the control group. RECA-1 density in the tissues had increased significantly in the experimental group at the 14th and 28th day. The same was observed for FGF-2 and its receptor, but there was no significant difference for VEGF or its receptor in either group. Conclusions LFPMEFs can promote angiogenesis in acute hindlimb ischemia of diabetic rats by up-regulating FGF-2. This suggests that LFPMEFs may be useful for preventing and treating lower limb ischemia in diabetic humans.

Objective To observe the changes in levels of plasma leukocyte cell-derived chemnotaxin 2 (LECT2) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2DM) complicated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),and to investigate the clinical significance.Methods A total of 137 subjects were enrolled in the study,including 50 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM complicated with NAFLD,47 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM with non-NAFLD and 40 healthy subjects.The level of plasma LECT2 was determined by ELISA.Anthropometric data and other biochemical indicators were measured in three groups.The body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) were calculated.Insulin resistance and pancreas β-cell function were determined by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-IR,HOMA-％β).Results Plasma concentration of LECT2 in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM complicated with non-NAFLD was higher than that in type 2 diabetic patients with non-NAFLD [(32.95 ± 10.11 vs 29.08 ± 7.54) ng/mL,P ＜ 0.01].Plasma LECT2 levels in both groups were significantly higher than that in normal control group [(22.38 ± 4.40) ng/mL,P ＜ 0.01].Plasma LECT2 level was positively correlated with BMI,FPG,FINS,C peptide,HbA1c,GGT,TG and HOMA-IR,while negatively with HDL-C and HOMA-％ β (all P ＜ 0.01).Multivariate regression analysis showed that levels of BMI,FPG and HDL-C were important factors affecting plasma LECT2 level.Conclusions Plasma LECT2 concentration significantly elevates in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM complicated with non-NAFLD.Plasma level of LECT2 is closely correlated with insulin resistance and glycolipid metabolism.LECT2 may play an important role in the patho genesis of insulin resistance and T2DM.
