Objective To look for a small molecular neurotrophin which could promote production and/or differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs). Methods 1.Embryo hippocampal NSCs were cultured in vitro . 2. The neurospheres were identified by antibodies of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP), microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2) and Galactocerebroside (GalC). 3. The cells were divided into four groups, which were control group, FBS treated group, trans-sequence of APP 5-mer peptide treated group, APP 5-mer peptide treated group. The morphology of NSCs was observed in above four groups. 4. Cell counts, detection of clone information rate and diameter of clone were done to study the effect of APP 5-mer peptide on production of NSCs. 5. In addition, we also detected the MTT metablism rates in all groups. Results 1. The NSCs formed neurospheres and grew in floating. They were BrdU-positive. GFAP-positive, MAP2-positive and GalC-positive cells appeared after FBS were added into the medium. 2. The morphology of NSCs was not changed in APP 5-mer peptide treated group and trans-sequence group compared with the control group. 3. The cell number increased in APP 5-mer peptide treated group as compared with the control group. There were no apparent differences between the control group and the trans-sequence treated group. 4. The clone formation rate and diameters of neurospheres increased in APP 5-mer peptide treated group. 5. The MTT metabolism rate increased in APP 5-mer peptide treated group. Conclusion APP 5-mer peptide could promote the production of embryo hippocamal NSCs in vitro. APP 5-mer peptide doesn't promote the differentiation of embryo hippocamal NSCs in vitro.

Objective:To observe any effect of a half palm ankle-foot orthosis and a hollow-heel ankle-foot orthosis on the gait of stroke survivors.Methods:The walking of twenty-five stroke survivors was quantified using a gait analysis system. They walked barefoot, wearing a half palm ankle-foot orthosis and wearing a hollow-heel ankle-foot orthosis. Walking speed, step frequency, duration of the swing phase on the healthy and affected sides, risk of falling and Timed Up and Go (TUG) test times were recorded and analyzed.Results:The average gait frequency when wearing the hollow-heel ankle-foot orthosis was significantly faster than that in the other two conditions. The gait asymmetry coefficient was significantly different when the subjects wore the hollow-heel ankle-foot orthosis compared with walking barefoot. Compared with being barefoot, the average TUG time was significantly shorter when wearing either orthosis and the risk of falling was significantly less. The fall risk was significantly lower when wearing the hollow-heel orthosis compared to the half palm orthosis.Conclusion:Wearing either ankle-foot orthosis can significantly correct the gait of stroke survivors and lower their risk of falling, with better effect when wearing the hollow-heel ankle-foot orthosis.

In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of cancer have been increasing, posing a serious threat to human health. Western medicine mainly uses treatments such as surgical resection, chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy, but they are prone to complications, drug resistance and adverse reactions. A growing number of studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in the treatment of cancer, reducing the recurrence rate of cancer and improving the quality of survival of patients. Cellular senescence refers to a state of irreversible cell cycle growth arrest when cells cease to proliferate after a limited number of divisions, resulting in a decline in cell proliferation and differentiation capacities and physiological functions, accompanied by morphological changes such as flattening and multinuclear morphology. At the molecular level, it shows increased expression of DNA damage-related genes, reduced expression of cell cycle-related factors and significant secretory activity. The malignant development of cancer is closely related to cellular senescence. With the increasing number of cancer cell proliferation, cancer-related genes undergo continuous mutations, freeing them from cellular senescence and thus achieving unlimited proliferation. Through recent studies, it has been found that induction of tumor cell senescence, possibly through modulation of cellular DNA damage, cell cycle arrest and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which converts the suppressive immune tumor microenvironment to an activated immune tumor microenvironment and thus reverses the escape of tumor cell senescence, is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. However, the mechanism of cellular senescence in cancer progression is not fully understood, especially the anti-cancer role played by traditional Chinese medicine in regulating cellular senescence. This article summarized and concluded the specific molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence, the role of cellular senescence in cancer progression, and the mechanism of anti-cancer effects of traditional Chinese medicine based on cellular senescence from the perspective of regulating cellular senescence, with a view to providing ideas and methods for the anti-cancer effects of traditional Chinese medicine and the development of new drugs.

Objective:To study the survival and prognostic factors for the recurrent extracranial malignant germ cell tumors (MGCTs) in children, and to explore feasible salvage treatment.Methods:A retrospective study.Pediatric patients with recurrent extracranial MGCTs diagnosed in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center between January 2010 and January 2020 were retrospectively recruited.Comprehensive treatment regimens included surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox regression model were employed to analyze the survival and prognostic factors for children with recurrent extracranial MGCTs.Results:A total of 172 children with extracranial MGCTs were treated, including 21 (12.2%) recurrent cases.The median time of MGCT recurrence after the end of the first treatment was 11 months.Finally, 19 patients were recruited after excluding 2 non-eligible cases, including 10 boys and 9 girls with the age at recurrence of 26 (8-170) months.The follow-up time was 57 (13-122) months.Salvage chemotherapy, complete resection and radiotherapy were performed in 16, 14 and 4 patients, respectively.The 4-year overall survival (4yr-OS) rate was (82.5±9.2)%(19 cases). The 4yr-OS rate was significantly higher in patients managed with surgery but without adjuvant chemotherapy at the initial treatment (13 cases) than those managed with chemotherapy at the initial treatment (6 cases)[(92.3±7.4)% vs.(60.0%±21.9)%, P=0.002]. Univariant and Cox multivariant regression analyses showed that failure to achieve the normal range of alpha fetoprotein after 3 cycles of chemotherapy significantly influenced the survival of recurrent extracranial MGCTs. Conclusions:For patients with recurrent extracranial MGCTs, comprehensive treatment approaches like complete surgical resection, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy offer a favorable survival rate.Specifically, recurrent and re-treated patients who initially received surgery alone without adjuvant chemotherapy have a higher survival rate compared to those who received chemotherapy during the initial treatment.
