Objective To explore the role of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) promoter methylation for the morbidity of depression patients,and to investigate the relevance between BDNF promoter methylation and the suicidal ideation in patients with first-episode major depressive disorder.Methods The peripheral blood samples from 23 cases of depression patients with suicide ideation ,24 cases of depression patients without suicide ideation,and 27 healthy controls were grouped using simple randomization method, and the methylation status of CpG island of BDNF promoter were subsequently evaluated using bisulphite sequencing.Results The methylation rates(median,quartile interval) of depression patients with suicidal ideation, depression patients without suicidal attempt, and the healthy control were detected as follows, CPG-1 : 2.60 (0.28), 2.70 (0.60), 6.40 (1.00);CPG-2:3.35 (1.15),3.20 (1.00),14.50 (2.60);CPG-3:1.50 (0.40),1.50 (0.60),4.60 (0.90);CPG-4:1.75 (0.90) ,1.50 (0.50),3.90 (0.90);CPG-5:0.80 (0.58),0.90 (1.00),5.70 (2.10);CPG-6:6.05 (1.03),6.20 (1.70), 14.50 (1.70);CPG-7:10.55 (1.68), 10.10 (1.50), 14.70 (1.70);CPG-8:16.35 (0.90), 16.40 (1.00),4.80 (1.20);CPG-9:4.20 (4.80),4.70 (1.30),28.50 (19.30);CPG-10:10.25 (1.08),10.30 (1.20) ,4.30 (0.90);CPG-11:62.80 (4.05) ,62.30 (4.00) ,37.20 (2.60);CPG-12:5.60 (1.05) ,5.60 (1.30) ,12.30 (1.80);CPG-13:4.15 (1.10) ,4.10 (1.10) ,59.70 (4.90);CPG-14:5.45 (0.78) ,5.70 (0.90),6.30 (0.60);CPG-15:3.70 (0.70) ,3.90 (1.00) ,62.40 (6.50);CPG-16:8.05 (1.75) ,8.10 (1.60) ,74.30 (50.90);CPG-17:3.20 (0.78),3.20 (0.80),32.40 (13.20);CPG-18:1.90 (0.48),1.80 (0.40),2.30 (0.30);CPG-19 : 35.00 (6.27), 35.20 (3.00), 64.20 (44.70).There was an obvious difference in methylation rate among three groups,which was statistically significant (P＜0.01).However, no statistical significance for the methylation rates was observed between the depression patients with suicidal ideation and without suicidal ideation.Interestingly, statistical significance for the methylation rates were observed when compared the depression patients with suicidal ideation with healthy control (P＜ 0.05), and the depression patients without suicidal ideation with healthy control (P＜0.05).Conclusion The results show that the association is observed between BDNF promoter methylation and the morbidity of depressive disorder,but not between BDNF promoter methylation and the suicidal ideation of depression patients.

Objective To evaluate the impact of respiratory motion on lung dosimetry using 4D-CT during lung cancer radiotherapy.Methods Ten cases were randomly selected from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated in our department.The 4D-CT machine was adopted for simulation before treatment and 10 respiratory phases were obtained for each patient.Target volumes were delineated on the maximum intensity projection (MIP) images,and plans were generated on average intensity projection (ALP) images.Plans were transferred to CT images of each respiratory phase,and we calculated the dosage on lungs and subsequently evaluated the volume dosage to lungs and the entire body.Results The mean dosage to lungs are greatly affected by the respiratory phase.This difference also depended on tumor location.When it was inside the lung,the average dosage shows the same trend as the respiratory motion,with the change rate of 2.18％,which was less than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =4.189,P ＜ 0.05).When the tumor was located nearby the lung,the mean dosage showed the opposite trend with respiratory motion,with the change rate of 3.76％,which was also less than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =25.007,P ＜ 0.05).The effect of respiratory motion on V5,V10,V20 of body was small,and the magnitude of change for whole body dosages were 0.47％,0.28％,0.17％ respectively,which was smaller than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =11.371,11.188,11.377,P ＜ 0.05).Volume dose of lung V5,V10,V20 and lung volume change trends were the same,and the magnitude of change for lung volume dosages were 2.39％,1.91％,1.80％ respectively,and were smaller than the change of lung volume 4.49％ (t =2.279,2.298,2.485,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The mean dosage to lungs shows a great difference between different respiratory phases.More attention should be paid when evaluating the lung volume during treatment planning.

Objective To investigate the effects of stress on the methylation of brain derived neurotrophic factor gene in the patients with major depressive disorder (MDD),and to investigate the relationship between BDNF gene methylation and MDD.Methods 47 cases of MDD were divided into MDD stress group (n=24) and MDD non stress group(n=23) while 27 health subjects were collected as normal control group.The methylation status of CpG island in the promoter region of BDNF gene in peripheral blood was detected by the method of heavy hydrogen and hydrogen sulfate.SPSS17.0 statistical software package was used to analyze the data.The differences of 19 CpG methylation rates and the overall level of methylation rates of three groups were analyzed.Results The CpG overall methylation rates (median,interquartile range) of MDD stress group,MDD non stress group and normal control group was 189.150 (7.575),188.500 (400)and 480.200(770) respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the overall methylation rate of CpG in the MDD stress group compared with MDD non stress group (P＞0.05).The CpG methylation rates (mean± SD or median,interquartile range) of three groups were detected as follows:CpG-1:2.600(0.275),2.700 (0.400),6.500(0.800);CpG-2:3.350(0.650),3.300(0.800),14.600(1.500);CpG-3:1.596±0.363,1.543±0.400,4.581 ±0.437;CpG-4:1.779±0.516,1.522±0.329,4.033 ±0.529;CpG-5:0.900 (0.575),0.800 (0.600),5.700 (1.500);CpG-6:6.258 ± 0.805,6.213 ±0.944,14.589±0.819;CpG-7:10.667±0.894,10.283± 1.006,15.000±0.763;CpG-8:16.421 ±0.697,16.330±0.775,24.796±0.547;CpG-9:4.713±0.565,4.891 ±0.554,28.826±0.679;CpG-10:10.254±0.902,10.378±0.777,11.381±0.538;CpG-11:24.125±2.301,24.170±2.613,37.474± 1.579;CpG-12:5.442±0.641,5.596±1.117,12.141 ±0.940;CpG-13:4.150(1.150),4.200(1.000),61.700(4.800);CpG-14:5.500±0.544,5.717±0.568,6.378±0.397;CpG-15:3.700 (0.700),4.100(1.000),63.300(2.500);CpG-16:8.200 (1.775),8.100(1.500),75.200(3.300);CpG-17:3.250(0.550),3.300(0.800),34.600(5.000);CpG-18:1.988±0.279,1.939±0.259,2.330±0.207;CpG-19:35.338±2.421,35.187±2.259,65.941 ±2.692.16 CpG methylation rates of 19 CpG were higher in MDD stress group and MDD non stress group.Compared with the normal control group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in CpG methylation rate between MDD stress group and MDD non stress group (P＞0.05).Conclusion The overall methylation rate of CpG in BDNF gene promoter region is closely related with MDD,which may affect the incidence of MDD.There was no correlation between CpG methylation in BDNF gene promoter region and MDD,and stressful life events may not be the direct cause of CpG methylation in BDNF gene promoter region in patients with MDD.

Objective To explore the preparation of liposomal clodronate and investigate its inducing effects on the apoptosis of peritoneal macrophages in rats after severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Liposomal clodronate was prepared by means of thin film. SAP rat model was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. The peritoneal macrophages were obtained from SAP rats. After exposure to different doses of liposomal clodronate (50, 100,150 μl), the PM proliferation was determined by MTT colourimetry. The apoptosis of PM was measured by flow cytometry and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. Results The prepared liposomal clodronate had a suitable encapsulation efficiency of clodronate (5.8%) with an average size of 200 nm. The spherical shape of liposome was confirmed by transmission electron microscope. Exposed to liposomal clodronate of different doses resulted in a obvious growth depression (P＜0.01). The apoptotic rate of the PM was (10.32±0.34) %, (18.16±0.49)% and (29.87±0.35)% in three different dose groups and the difference was marked (P＜0.01). 1.2% of agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA extracted from apoptotic macrophages induced by liposomal clodronate showed clearer and characteristic ladder following the liposomal clodronate concentration. Conclusion Liposomal clodronate has a definite effect on peritoneal macrophages in SAP rats.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) standardized uptake value (SUV) of positron emission tomography (PET) before radiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT). Methods Seventy-three patients with stage Ⅲ NSCLC underwent PET to calculate SUV within 2 weeks before 3DCRT. The a-nalysis was carried out after the irradiation of 60 -66 Gy. The possible prognostic factors were assessed by Cox proportional hazards model. Results The mean SUV for squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and others were 16.94, 14.40 and 6.33, respectively (F = 0. 51, P = 0. 604). The mean SUV for tumor volume less than and more than 50 cm~3 was 13.81 and 20.18 (F = 7.54, P = 0. 008). In the univariate analysis, a cutoff SUV of 17 and chemotherapy were correlated with the prognosis. In the multivariate analysis, SUV was the only independent prognostic factor (relative risk = 2.61). Conclusions SUV is a prognostic factor in patients with NSCLC treated by 3DCRT, which deserves further studies.

Objective To examine the correlation between the ultrasonic feature of tibial nerve and the scores of Michi?gan neuropathy screening instrument(MNSI)in type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) and to provide information for early diagno?sis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy(DPN). Methods Based on scores of MNSI, 95 cases of T2DM patients were divided into three different groups:group B(0-2.4 scores), C(2.5-4.4 scores)and D(≥4.5 scores). Ultrasound parameters of group A (n=30) were compared with group B (n=32), group C (n=31) and group D (n=32). These parameters includes nerves′s an?teroposterior dimension, transverse diameter, cross-sectional area and fasciculus echo, thescreen clothstructure, epineuri?um and the demarcation with neighbourhood structures. Correlation of MNSI with ultrasound performance of tibia nerve was also tested. Results Compared with group A, transverse diameter in group B did not show a obvious change, but anteropos?teror dimension, transverse diameter, cross-sectional area in group C, group D all increase.(P < 0.05). Compared with group B,ultrasound alteration were more frequent in group C and group D(P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference on that between group C and group D(P>0.05). There was a positive correlation between the nerves′s anteroposterior di?mension, transverse diameter, cross-sectional area with MNSI, rs were 0.656、0.657 and 0.681 respectively (P<0.05 in all three cases). Conclusion Certain correlation was observed between MNSI and tibial never ultrasonic feature in T2DM pa?tients;the higher MNSI scores , the greater chance of presence of abnormal sonographic features of tibial nerve.

Objective To study mutagenic effects of spaceflight on physiological and biochemical parameters of Rhodobacter sphaeroides and select high-yield mutants in co-enzyme Q10(CoQ10) production for providing the experimental and theoretical basis for industrial production through mutagenic effects of spaceflight.Methods Variations in stress resistance and CoQ10 production of isolated strains were studied,the strain Rhodobacter sphaeroides was taken back by a recoverable satellite after 15 d flight in space.Results Compared to the control,the strain was characterized by highter NaCl tolerance and higher stress resistance,as well as with broader scope in growth temperature and pH value after spaceflight.The mutant colonies appeared white or pink which was different from their original red.The CoQ10 production of mutant 10 strain was increased by 73.13% much higher than that of control.Conclusion Spaceflight mutagenic effects on Rhodobacter sphaeroides shows to be multi-factor compared to the traditional single-factor mutagenesis methods.It can enhance stress resistance and increase CoQ10 production of isolated strains,and can be utilized in industrial microbial mutagenesis and breeding in the future.

Objective To evaluate retrospectively the causative factors and corresponding surgical treatments of cervical spinal cord injuries without fracture or dislocation. Methods 29 cases of cervical spinal cord injury without fracture or dislocation were studied to analyze their imaging manifestation, features and causative factors of the injury, and pathological elements. Different surgical operations were performed accordingly, and their short-term outcomes were evaluated. Results The analysis indicated that there were chiefly 3 groups of causative factors. About 24% of the patients were typical cervical disc protrusion or prolapse, about 52% of them suffered from obvious decrease or even disappearance of the storing space of spinal canal, and about 24% suffered from decrease of the storing space of spinal canal combined with segmental instability among the vertebras, or with cervical disc prolapse. The postoperative short follow-ups (a mean period of 8.5 months) for the 29 surgical treatments showed that their spinal cord functions had been improved significantly, with the recovery rate being 52.8% by Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scoring. Conclusions Despite some common features, the causative factors for the cervical spinal cord injury without fracture or dislocation are quite different. Consequently, in order to achieve satisfactory outcomes, corresponding surgical operations with different approaches should be performed, and proper internal fixation should be applied according to the specific indications.

Objective To explore the influence of TAC protocol (pirarubicin,cyclophosphamide and docetaxel) and AC-T protocol (pirarubicin,cyclophosphamide and sequential docetaxel) on T lymphocytes cell subsets (included CD3+ T cells,CD3+ CD4+ T cells,CD3+ CD8+ T cells,CD3+ CD4+/CD3 + CD8+),natural killer (NK) cells and part of the quality of life in the peripheral blood of patients.Methods A total of 66 patients with breast cancer included 31 cases for TAC protocol (6 cycles of chemotherapy) and 35 cases for AC-T protocol(8 cycles of chemotherapy).Collected respectively before and after the last chemotherapy of peripheral blood,used flow cytometry technique to detect the proportion of T cell subsets and NK cells in peripheral blood,and compared the change of the part of the quality of life before and after chemotherapy.Results After chemotherapy of total of 66 patients CD3+ T cells,CD3+ CD4+T cells and NK cells of peripheral blood ((68.58± 11.03) ％,(33.53 ± 8.84) ％,(18.27 ± 10.65) ％) significantly lower than before chemotherapy ((74.03±13.04)％,(38.42±9.79)％,(19.83± 10.19)％),the differences were statistically significant(t =4.296,3.387,4.092,P＜ 0.05).Grouping was TAC protocol with AC-T,T cell subsets and NK cells before chemotherapy differences had no statistical significance.But after chemotherapy,CD3+ T cells,CD3+ CD4+T cells,CD3+CD8+ T cells and Karnofky score((64.63±10.01)％,(31.19±7.41)％,(24.66±7.40)％,(68.63± 5.100)％) of peripheral blood on TAC protocol were more decreased than AC-T protocol((72.29± 10.78)％,(35.74± 9.60) ％,(30.15 ± 11.12) ％,(77.29 ± 4.58) ％),the differences were statistically significant (t =2.99,2.15,2.35,2.237,P＜0.05).CD3+ CD4+/CD3+ CD8+ and NK cells were also decreased,but without statistical significance.The body quality of 66 patients was slightly increased after chemotherapy,but without statistical significance.Conclusion The body's immune function and the part of quality of the breast cancer patient's life have declined by chemotherapy drugs in varying degrees.Compared TAC,AC-T protocol has less influence on the immunological function and the part of living quality of patients with breast cancer.
