Objective To assess language function in children with benign epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes in children(BECTS) and its association with the age of epilepsy onset.Methods We assessed language function in 63 children with BECTS and 30 age and sex matched controls by the subtest of CWISC.Results Children with BECTS performed significantly worse on all language tasks as compared to controls and overall better language function was positively correlated with older age of the child.Early age at seizure onset demonstrated significant negative correlation with language dysfunction,age below 6 years being related to the lowest performance scores(P ＜ 0.05).There was no relationship between the language function and the laterality of epileptic focus,seizure treatment status,or the duration of epilepsy(P ＞ 0.05).There was significant relationship between the language dysfunction and onset age of epilepsy (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Children with BECTS have language difficulties that are more pronounced in younger age group.Despite better language functioning in older children with BECTS,their verbal abilities remain inferior to those of children without epilepsy.Early age at seizure onset is a significant factor predicting worse language functioning in children with BECTS.

Objective:To study the relationship between the expression of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and the clinico-pathological indexes of breast cancer, investigate the correlation between HSP27 and the fatty acid syn-thetase (FAS)/fatty acid synthetase ligand (FASL) of the cell apoptosis system in the Fas/Fasl system, and study the role of HSP27 in the invasion and metastasis of TNBC. Methods:The immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of HSP27 and (FAS)/(FASL) in 100 TNBS tissue sampres, 100 non-TNBS tissue sampres, and 50 paraneoplastic tissues. This method was also used to analyze the correlations between the expression of HSP27 and the clinical and pathological indexes of TNBC, as well as be-tween the HSP27 expression and FAS/FASL expression. Results: HSP27 expression was significantly higher in TNBC than in the non-TNBC and paraneoplastic tissues (P<0.05). Statistically significant differences were observed in the FAS/FASL expression in the TNBC, non-TNBC, and paraneoplastic tissues (P<0.05). HSP27 expression had a negative correlation with FAS expression (P<0.05). HSP27 expression was positively correlated with FASL expression (P<0.05). FAS expression had a negative correlation with FASL ex-pression (P<0.05). HSP27 expression in TNBC was not correlated with age, staging, and tumor size (P>0.05), whereas HSP27 expres-sion was correlated with lymph node metastasis, number of nodal metastases, and P53 and Ki67 expression (P<0.05). Conclusion:The overexpression of HSP27 and the expression dysregulation of the FAS/FASL system may play a role in promoting TNBC transfer and invasion, cell proliferation, and poor prognosis.

Aim To study of the expression and distribution of four α-synuclein truncations in three cells.Method Four α-synuclein gene truncations were obtained by PCR method,followed by subcloning into the pEGFP-N1 eukaryotic expression vector.Four obtained recombination plasmids were transfected into MN9D cells,PC12 cells and SH-SY5Y cells using Lipofectamine 2000 respectively.The expression and distribution of four α-synuclein truncations were observed by Confocal.Results Distribution of four α-synuclein truncations was discrepant obviously,the truncations,with more C terminal remained,were prone to emerging in nuclei.Conclusion Localization of α-synuclein protein in cells may be related to the C terminal,and the whole C terminal plays an important role in distribution of α-synuclein into nuclei.

Objective To observe the protection of human lens epithelial cells(HLEC) by different polar alkaloids extracted from Herba Dendrobii(HD).Methods We extacted the Herba Dendrobii powder with ethanol,and then treated the extract with falling-film concentration,acidification,salting out,chloroform extraction,and washing with water.Different polar alkaloids were extracted from HD after the above treatment.The protective effect of HD alkaloids was observed on HLEC,which were cultured with DMEM medium containing 10% fetal calf serum.Ten groups were set up for the experiment: normal control group,model group,high-and low-dose water-soluble alkaloids groups,high-and low-dose fat-soluble alkaloids groups,high-and low-dose low-polar alkaloids group,and high-and low-dose weak-polar alkaloids groups.The high-dose dosage of the alkaloids was 25.0 ?g/L and low-dose dosage was 12.5 ?g/L.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was used to evaluate the proliferation of HLEC under the different conditions of interventions.Results The single-factor experiments showed that the highest extracting rate of HD alkaloids was obtained under the conditions of extracting the powder with 80% ethanol for 3 times and for 3 hours.The results of protective experiment showed that the proliferation of HLEC in the model group was inhibited by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2),and the inhibitive rate was lower in low-dose fat-soluble alkaloids group than that in the model group(P

Aim To study the screening of the nucleo-tide sequences might be affected by α-syn in vitro. Methods The nucleotide sequences were synthesized according to the feature of base composition, and then mixed with the α-syn-GFP. The CD was used to ana-lyse the changes of the peak. Result The peak of the CD changed greatly when the α-syn-GFP mixed with the GC-box like sequence. Conclusion The α-syn-GFP might affect the GC-box like sequence after trans-located into the nuclei. Then, it plays a role in physio-logical and pathological conditions by affecting the reg-ulation of gene expression.

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mental disorder with high prevalence,morbidity and recurrence rate.The treatment goal of acute stage is to achieve remission,which means asymptomatic.However,clinical treatments and studies found impairment of psychosocial functioning still exists even after remission,which means incomplete recovery.As is known,the normalization of psychosocial functioning is essential to the recovery and the recurrence prevention of MDD.In order to provide reference and guidance for the clinical treatments and studies,we reviewed the related studies and found many kinds of factors influencing the restoration of psychosocial functioning,including demographic factors,diseases related factors,psychological factors,social factors and therapeutic approaches.However,few interior studies focused on the recovery of MDD,and the results of foreign studies were inconsistent,while the understanding of how those factors influence the recovery of MDD is not clear enough.In order to make the characteristics of psychosocial functioning recovery and mechanisms of the influencing factors clear,more in-depth studies should be done in the future.

Objective To explore the effects of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs (TCMHs) on the expression of tyrosinase gene, melanogenesis and proliferation of melanocytes and elucidate the mechanism of TCMHs in promoting melanogenesis. Methods Seven TCMHs including Herba Ecliptae, Spica Prunellae, Caulis Spatholob, etc, which were known to be effective in activating tyrosinase in vivo, were selected. Brownish guinea pigs were selected as the experimental model. The mRNA in situ hybridization (ISH), Schmorl-staining and dopa-oxygenase staining were performed to observe the effects of TCMHs on gene expression of tyrosinase, melanogenesis and melanocyte proliferation. Results The mRNA ISH showed that these seven drugs, especially Herba Ecliptae,Spica Prunellae and Tribulus terrestris could significantly increase the number of positive cells and the intensity of hybridization signal in the treated group as compared with that in the control group (P 0.1). Conclusions These results suggested that these 7 TCMHs including Herba Ecliptae can upregulate the gene expression of tyrosinase, enhance the melanogenesis and promote the proliferation of melanocytes.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and recent curative effect of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) after conventional treatment.Methods Clinical data of 15 MCL patients admitted in the Affiliated Hospital of Academy of Military Medical Sciences between August 2004 and October 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The median age of those patients was 59 and the male to female ratio was 1.5∶1.Fourteen(93%)cases were in Ann-Arbor stages Ⅲ -Ⅳ, 15 cases (100%)primarily with lymph node involvement,7 cases (47%)with bone marrow involvement,4 cases (27%)with gastrointestinal involvement,and 3 cases (20%)with orbit involvement.Less than 40% expression of Ki-67 was observed in 9 cases (60%),while 6 cases were with more than 40% (40%).One case was blastic variant.First-line therapy was CHOP-like regimens,which were combined with rituximab in 8 of the 15 cases.In this study,the median survival time was 12 months (3 -64),and the overal response rate was 80%after induction chemotherapy.The current survival of 7 /9 cases with less than 40% expression of Ki-67 was 8 -64 months,2 /6 cases with more than 40% expression of Ki-67 was 8 and 9 months,respectively.Conclusion MCL mostly occurs in older males.Extranodal invasion is common in MCL as an aggressive tumor.The efficacy of traditional chemotherapy is currently limited.Blastic variant or high expression of Ki-67 is an adverse prognostic indicator.

Objective To explore the feasibility of establishing a tree shrew model of chronic gastrointestinal mucosal injury. Methods A total of 12 adult male tree shrews were randomly divided into 3 groups. The experimental groups 1 and 2 were administered with intraperitoneal injection of 2 mg/(kg·d)and 1 mg/(kg·d)of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2, 3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)once every day for 56 days, respectively. The control group was given the same volume of sterile saline at the corresponding time points. Changes in the body weight of the tree shrews were observed. The contents of dopamine in the cerebrospinal fluid were detected. Gastrointestinal morphology was observed by stereoscope and histopathological changes of the gastrointestinal mucosa were examined by HE staining. Results The body weight and the contents of dopamine in the cerebrospinal fluid of the tree shrews in the model group were significantly decreased(P< 0.05 for both). Pathological changes to some extent of the gastric antrum, the gastric body and the duodenum were observed, without obvious differences between the 2 mg/kg group and the 1 mg/kg group. No obvious changes were found in the control group. Conclusions Long-term intraperitoneal injection with a low dose of MPTP is a feasible method for the establishment of a tree shrew model of chronic gastrointestinal mucosal injury. The optimal dose is 2 mg/(kg·d)every day for 56 days.
