Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science 2016;25(4):380-384
Voluntary control of saccadic eye movements is a kind of saccades controlled by conscious and always used to investigate the brain areas related to saccades and ability of response inhibition and work memory.Researching the neural mechanisms of voluntary control of saccadic eye movements could provide a basis to study the advanced cognitive function of brain and facilitate to explore basic neural mechanisms of abnormal saccadic in brain disorders.As neuroimaging technologies develops,intensive studies about the neural mechanisms of voluntary control of saccadic eye movements have been made great progress.It is showed that several brain areas such as prefrontal cortex,subcortical areas and parietal cortex mainly in participate.These multiple brain regions are involved in voluntary control of saccadic eye movements at different stages.Antisaccades and memory-guided saccades including different brain regions because of their different characteristics of saccadic.The future direction of the research is to combine study with neural imaging technology,and to study more about the brain regions and their functional connectivity involved in voluntary control of saccadic eye movements.

Journal of International Oncology 2016;43(6):436-438
As a member of homeobox gene family,HOXC is expressed in many organs and can regulate gene expression,cell differentiation and morphogenesis.Abnormality of its function is closely related to the prognosis of leukemia,breast cancer,renal cell carcinoma,prostate cancer and so on.
3.FHIT gene and tumor
Journal of International Oncology 2013;40(8):563-566
The human fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene is a tumor suppressor gene,which is located at chromosome region 3p14.2.The fragile site FRA3B of the FHIT gene is the most unstable site.FHIT can promote apoptosis,and inhibit cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.High methylation status,loss of the various sections of the FHIT gene,changes of the fragile site FRA3B and abnormalities of FHIT transcripts can result in gene afunction,and then promote the development and progression of various types of cancers.Transfecting wild-type FHIT into tumor cells with low or lacking endogenous FHIT expression can induce apoptosis.The combined treatment with other genes may provide a new insight for the treatment of tumors.

Objective: To explore the eye-movement characters and the visual cognitive processing traits of Chinese children with reading disorder (RD) during apperceiving pictures. Methods: 14 children with reading disorder and 14 normal controls were collected. Their eye-movements during apperceiving pictures were recorded with Eye-link II High-Speed Tracker. Results:The only significant difference between the two groups existed in the score of average saccade amplitude for picture 3 (RD children scored less 3.79?0.69/ 4.86?1.67,t=-2.29,P0.05).Conclusions:The remember and process capability to the pictures are not the main characters of the Chinese RD children. If the background of picture is complicated, the attention span of children suffered RD will be more limited, and their fixation efficiency will be depressed.

Methods Orthogonal trial design of three factors and two levels and variance analysis method were employed. The rabbits and rats were grouped into eight combined exposure groups and eight controls, respectively, according to orthogonal table L_8 (2~7). Animals in all groups underwent the experiments and the indices were determined at the same time. Results Analysis of the radius of capillary vessels on rabbit's conjunctiva and HSP70 of rat's liver and spleen showed that magnetic field was the dominant factor (P

Objective To investigate the effect of electroacupuncture on motilin (MOT) and somatostatin (SS) in rats with diabetes gastroparesis (DGP). Methods One hundred clean healthy SD rats with negative urine glucose were chosen. After they were fed for three days and into a stable state, 30 rats were randomly selected as a control group. The other 70 rats were used as an animal model of insulin-dependent diabetes made with streptozotocin. At 10 weeks after model making, rats as successful models were randomly allocated to model and treatment groups, 30 rats each. The model group received no treatment and the treatment group, electroacupuncture at points Zusanli, Zhongwan and Weishu. Serum and antral MOT and SS were measured in every group before and after treatment. Results There were statistically significant differences in body weight and gastrointestinal propulsion rate between the treatment or model group of rats and the control group (P<0.01), and between the treatment and model groups after treatment (P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in blood glucose value between the treatment or model group of rats and the control group after model making and at 10 weeks and the end of treatment (P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in blood glucose value between at the end and 10 weeks of treatment in the treatment group (P<0.01). There were statistically significant differences in serum and antral MOT and SS contents between the treatment or model group and the control group (P<0.01), and between the treatment and model groups after treatment (P<0.01). Conclusions Electrocupuncture can markedly increase serum SS and antral MOT and decrease serum MOT and antral SS to ameliorate high blood motilin and somatostatin in DGP rats.

Background and purpose:Apollon gene is highly expressed in leukemia and other tumors. The study aimed to discuss whether RNAi technology can reverse multidrug resistance of chronic myeloid leukemia cell line K562 through constructing a eukaryotic vector of short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting at Apollon gene. Methods:The eukaryotic vector pGPHI-GFP-Neo-Apollon with shRNA targeting at Apollon gene was constructed and then transfected into K562 cells by LipofectamineTM2000, and G418 pressure selection. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunolfuorescence were used to detect the expression of Apollon mRNA and protein after Apollon was transfected stably in K562 cells. The changes of sensitivity of K562 cells to leurocristine (VCR) and etoposide (VP16) after transfection with shRNA-Apollon were detected by MTT method, and the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. Results: pGPHI-GFP-Neo-Apollon carrier was constructed successfully and expressed stably in K562 cells, and after G418 screening, it silenced Apollon mRNA and protein expression effectively. According to the result of MTT, the sensitivity of K562 cells to VCR and VP16 increased significantly in the group of gene interference, with half of its inhibition concentration (half-inhibitory, IC50) value signiifcantly lower than the control group (P<0.05);Flow cytometry showed that the cell apoptosis rate was increased signiifcantly (P<0.05), but there was no statistically signiifcant difference in the apoptosis rate between shRNA negative control group and normal control group (P>0.05). Conclusion:pGPHI-GFP-Neo-Apollon carrier can enhance the abilities of VCR and VP16 to induce the apoptosis of K562 cells, namely an increase of sensitivity to these chemotherapeutics in K562 cells, it is hinted that RNA interference targeting Apollon gene may reverse the multidrug resistance of leukemia cells in some degree.
