Autophagy is an important pathway in the body to remove damaged cell organelles and dysfunctional proteins to maintain protein equilibrium and intracellular homeostasis by the lysosomal system .As a degenerative disease of central nervous system , the main feature of Alzheimer ’ s disease is abnormal protein aggregation .However , the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer ’ s disease is not fully clear yet .The aim of this paper is to take β-amyloid peptide as a starting point to explore the relationship between autophagy and β-amyloid peptide in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of peripheral lymph node addressin(PNAd)andGlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase(GlcNAc6ST)in endometrium and their impacts on implantation.Methods:PNAd expression in endometrium was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot from 75women(12 from healthy women,in proliferative phase;63 from sterile women,of whom,27 were inearly-secretory and 36 in mid-secretory phase).GlcNAc6ST mRNA was examined by real-time PCR in41 sterile women.The 63 sterile women had underwent ⅣF-ET and were consequently divided into clini-cal pregnant(29 cases)and nonpregnant(34 cases)groups.Results:(1)PNAd localized to the mem-brane and cytoplasm of luminal and glandular epithelia.Staining was patchy and much less intense duringthe proliferative phase than during the secretory phase.In Western Blot of PNAd,four bands appeared,which were Sgp200,CD34,MAdCAM-1,GlyCAM-1 respectively,and each was positively correlatedwith the others significantly.The former three molecular levels were significantly higher during the secre-tory phase as compared with the proliferative phase.Message RNA of GlcNAe6ST was positive in all ca-ses and showed no correlation with any component of PNAd.(2)The expressions of CD34 and GlyCAM-1,but not Sgp200 and MAdCAM-1,were significantly higher in pregnant women than in nonpregnantones.However,the GlcNAc6ST mRNA level did not differ between groups.(3)No significant differ-ence was found in female age,methods of fertilization,thickness of endometrium on day hCG,cumulativeembryo score(CES)and mean score of transferred embryo(MSTE)between the groups.Conclusion:PNAd expression in the human endometrium fluctuates with the menstrual cycle.Elevated CD34 and Gly-CAM-1 during the secretory phase might be stimulative factors for embryo implantation.Defect in PNAdexpression may account for a portion of unexplained infertility.

Objective Investigation and analysis of intelligence and psychomotor function in children born after implementingt universal salt iodization(USI). Methods Historical serious illness areas of water iodine below 10μg/L were selected as study sites, water iodine in 50 - 100 μg/L in the historical non-endemic areas were as control points in Henan, 2008. Cluster sampling was used to select children aged 6 - 15 years as observing subjects,IQ were measured with CRT- Man Test(CRT-C2). A "Tianjin Medical psychomotor test battery" (JPB) was carry out to test psychomotor function. Results In IDD regions 230 children were surveyed post-USI and 1284 children preUSI. The IQs post and pre USI were 99.3 and 99.9, respectively, and the proportion of IQ ≤69 were 2.17%(6/230) and 2.80%(36/1284), respectively. In non-IDD regions 650 children were surveyed post-USI and 2079children pre-USI. The IQs post and pre USI were 95.3 and 93.8, respectively, and the proportion of IQ ≤ 69 were 2.31%(15/650) and 3.37%(70/2079), respectively. In IDD regions, the abnormal rate of T scores and damage index post USI were 3.6%(2/56), 5.3%(3/56), respectively, significantly lower than pre USI [18.1%(29/160),18.1%(29/160), x2 = 7.54, 6.86, all P ＜ 0.01]. Conclusions USI could increase the IQs of children and decrease the positive rate of JPB, and significantly improve the quality of whole nation and persistently eliminating IDD.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of continuous intravenous pralidoxime chloride infusion in acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning(AOPP).Methods The patients with severe AOPP were randomly divided into 3 groups:(1)group 1(n =51)received a bolus injection of pralidoxime chloride 2.Og followed by continuous intravenous infusion at 0.25 g/h.(2)group 2(n = 51)received a bolus injection of pralidoxime 2.Og followed by continuous intravenous infusion at 0.5g/h.(3)group 3(n = 50)received intravenous drip of pralidoxime 2.Og for 3 times a day.Efficacy was compared among 3 groups on the basis of time to reach atropinization,recovery of cholinesterase activity .cumulative amount of atropine,incidence of recurrence of pesticide poisoning,intermediate syndrome,and hospitalization days,etc.Results Efficacy in patients receiving continuous intravenous therapy was significantly different from the third group.But there was no significant difference in efficacy between the first and second groups.Conclusion The patients with AOPP can be effectively treated by a loading dose followed with continous intravenous pralidoxime chloride infusion.

Objective To isolate,cultivate and identify the human embryonic fibroblasts(hEFs) derived from the gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of human embryos,and to detect the expression by hEFs of cytokines crucial for the growth of human embryonic germ cells(hEG) in vitro.Methods The hEFs were isolated by enzyme digestion from gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of 5-to 9-week old human embryos.The cells were then cultivated.The biologic characteristics(morphology,growth characteristics and cell cycle) of these cells were also studied.The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to seek the expressions of a specific fibroblast marker,prolyl 4-hydroxylase ?,and a specific marker of epithelial cells,cytokeratin-4,in the cells.The expressions of cytokines essential for the growth of hEG,namely basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) and leukemia inhibitory factor(LIF),were also examined by RT-PCR.Results The hEFs were successfully isolated and cultivated from gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of human embryos.They could be passaged beyond the 25th generation.The biologic characteristics of the cells did not change,even in high-passage cells or frozen-thawed cells.The cells expressed prolyl 4-hydroxylase ?, but not cytokeratin-4,which was similar to the fibroblasts.The cultured cells expressed bFGF and LIF.Conclusion The hEFs derived from gonadal ridges and dorsal mesenteries of human embryos are successfully isolated and cultivated,and the cells express the cytokines essential for the growth of hEG in vitro.

Objective To investigate CT image features of pleomorphic adenoma and adenolymphoma,and to improve the diagno-sis accuracy.Methods CT data of 1 3 cases of pleomorphic adenomas and 9 cases of adenolymphomas confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed and compared.Results All 1 3 cases of pleomorphic adeonoma were solitary lesions,in which 1 1 cases were located in the non posterior inferior quadrant,and 1 1 cases showed persistent or delayed enhancement,with “slowly forward and slowly quit”enhancement performance.In all of the 9 cases of adenolymphoma,3 cases were multiple lesions.In total of 1 3 lesions, 9 lesions were located in the posterior inferior quadrant,and 9 lesions were significantly enhanced in the arterial phase and enhance-ment was decreased in the delayed phase,which showed “quickly forward and quickly quit”.Conclusion CT image features of pleo-morphic adenoma and adenolymphoma are different.Most of lesions can be diagnosed correctly before surgery by using image fea-tures with clinical information.

Objective To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography(CEUS) in brain injuries. Methods ① Models of graded brain trauma were created in brains of 10 healthy mongrel dogs after the animals were anesthetized and the cranium were removed. Conventional ultrasonography(US) and CEUS were performed to observe the characteristics of traumatic region. ② Thirteen patients with traumatic brain injuries were collected to perform intraoperative ultrasonography. The location, depth, size, internal echo and boundary of traumatic brain injuries were clearly displayed. Eight injury sites were chosen to undergo CEUS. Results ① Twelve injury sites in brains of 10 dogs were detected,and CEUS were peformed in 10 lessions, of which 1 was diagnosed with cerebral contusion, 1 with cerebral contusion and cerebral hemorrhage, 7 with intracerebral hematoma, 2 with ventricular hematoma, 1 with blood vessels in intracerebral hematoma. ② Fifteen lesions were detected by preoperative CT scan, but 18 lessions were detected by intraoperative ultrasound. During operation epidural hematomas in 4 cases were detected. After CEUS,the area of lessions was clearly revealed to be extended, the hemorrhage area was exempt from enhancement while peripheral normal cerebral tissue was homogenously enhanced. Conclusions Conventional ultrasonography could display brain injuries. In case of accurate intraoperative encephalocele, intraoperative untrasound conduces to discover delayed intracranial hematoma. Different traumatic brain injuries had their special CEUS findings.
