1.Association between Presenilin 1 gene methylation and sporadic Alzheimer's disease
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2014;33(12):1272-1275
Objective To investigate the correlation between Presenilin 1 gene methylation (PSEN1) and sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD).Methods Massarray method was used to perform an analysis of DNA methylation in the promoters of PSEN1 gene in lymphocytes from 35 SAD patients,33 mild cognitive impaired (MCI)patients and 22 age-and gender-matched controls.Reporter gene plasmid of PSEN1 was built by genetic recombination methods,and then transiently transfected into the SH-SY5Y and HeLa cells.After that,cells were treated with several agents including serum deprivation,Aβ25-35,5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-aza Cdr) and S-adenosyl-Lmethionine (SAM).A dual-luciferase reporter assay system was used to calculate the relative luciferase activity (RLA).Results Some CpG sites of PSEN1 (Cytosines at-173,95 and +76) showed hypomethylation patterns in SAD cases as compared with MCI and control group (P<0.01).A dual-luciferase reporter assay showing significant differences in PSEN1 transcription activities were found in both cell lines under SAM treatment [SY5Y,SAM:(6.40±0.81),control:(9.13±1.67),P=0.000; Hela,SAM:(2.06±0.34),control:(2.99±0.59),P=0.000].Conclusions DNA hypomethylation of PSEN1 gene promoter is significantly associated with SAD susceptibility.PSEN1 may change the gene transcription level by methylation,further affecting the activity of amyloid protein-like γ-secretase,leading to the onset of AD.
2.Drug delivery to the brain using PTD transport systems
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(11):-
Blood brain barrier is the main obstacle for drug delivery to the brain.To overcome the limited access of drugs to the brain,three methods have been developed at present:neurosurgical-based strategies,chemistry-based strategies to increase the lipid solubility of the drug,and biology-based strategies of endogenous BBB transporters-mediated drug delivery.PTD transport system to delivery drug across BBB is an emerging technology,which conveniently and efficiently deliver various molecules into spinal cord and brain via blood,intraperitoneally etc.PTD transport system offers a new approach to central nervous system disease with quick,convenient and safe charcteristics.

Objective To study the clinical features of traumatic mitral regurgitation and its surgical treatment methods and outcomes. Methods Clinical data of 16 patients with traumatic mitral regurgitation surgically treated from December 2000 to November 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. The cardiac thoracic ratio was 0.55 ±0.07 and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was (51.2% ±23.2)%. According to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, 10 patients were at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ before operation. The surgical procedures consisted of mitral valvuloplasty in 14 patients and mitral replacement in two, when correction of other cardiac injuries was made at the same time.Of all, 14 patients obtained follow-up for (35.2 ± 25.7 ) months. Results The interval between trauma and appearance of mitral regurgitation was (23.3 ±50.90) months. Of 13 patients with echocardiography during follow-up, there were four patients with normal tricuspid hemodynamics, seven with trace tricuspid regurgitation and two with mild regurgitation. The value of LVEF was (66.8 ± 9.0)% at followup, significantly higher than preoperation (P < 0. 05 ). There were 13 patients at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ of NYHA,with a significant increase compared with preoperation ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions Mitral regurgitation may emerge either immediately or several years after trauma. Traumatic mitral regurgitation patients can get satisfactory outcomes when comprehensive mitral valvuloplasty or mitral replacement is performed promptly.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the clopidogrel rational use in cerebral infarction secondary preven-tion. METHODS:Medical cases of 471 patients with acute cerebral infarction in neurology department in a hospital from 2013 to 2014 were retrospective surveyed to collect the utilization rate of clopidogrel and the combination of clopidogrel with proton pump inhibitors(PPIs)and aspirin,and the rationality was analyzed. RESULTS:The utilization rate of clopidogrel in cerebral infarction secondary prevention was 93.84%;the combination rate with PPIs was 52.49%,of which,51.72% had no drug selection or com-bined treatment basis;the combination rate with aspirin was 40.72%,cardiogenic cerebral infarction accounted for only 3.9%, non-cardiogenic cerebral infarction accounted for 96.1%,and recurrence of cerebral infarction in high-risk patients accounted for 31.11%. CONCLUSIONS:Clopidogrel in patients with cerebral infarction secondary prevention is widely used in the hospital,has high combination rate with PPIs and aspirin and low guide compliance rate. Clopidogrel should be enhanced pharmacy services, comply with evidence based medicine and improve the rationality of medication.

Objective To study the interaction between ?_1-antichymotrypsin (ACT) and amyloid peptide A?_~1-42 in vitro, and the effects of their complex on expression of transcription factors PPAR? and NF?B in human neuroblastoma (Kelly) cells. Methods A?_~1-42 and ACT were mixed at a 10∶1 molar ratio at room temperature, the complex formed in 2 hours and 24 hours were expressed as A?_~1-42 /ACT (2 hours), A?_~1-42 /ACT (24 hours), respectively. The complexes were studied by using agrose electrophoresis, and their effects on PPAR? and NF?B expressions were assessed by electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA). Results At conditions used, ACT interacted with A?_~1-42 in vitro, the complexes formed and functioned differently according to their interaction period. Compared with unstimulated control cells, A?_~1-42 /ACT (2 hours) strongly increased PPAR? and NF?B expressions by Kelly cells by 158% (P
