Depression is a common mental and psychiatry disorder. Depression is easy to recur and hard to cure.These urgent problems origin from the limited understanding of this disease and the big heteroge-neity in its genology. Generalized from recent relative papers we discovered that the important onset and sus-taining basis of depression is neuroremodeling,which includes the persistent changes of histocytology,ultra-structure of synapse and abnormal expressions of gene and protein of neurons in key brain regions,and so on. These changes affect the correct dealing on the neural message which lead to depression and become the sus-taining biological basis. Therefore the key strategies to prevent and cure depression lie on preventing,individ-ual therapy and reversing neuroremodeling.

Objective To establish a specific,stable and reliable real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR for detecting plasma mi-croRNAs(miRNAs).Methods The plasma samples from 10 healthy individuals were collected,and miRNAs was extracted using mirVanaTM PARIS kit.Exogenous cel-miR-39 and cel-miR-238 and endogenous plasma miRNAs were reversely translated by spe-cific stem-loop primers and quantified by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Results cel-miR-39,cel-miR-238 and miR-342-3p were amplified and quantified specifically in RNA preparations isolated from plasma samples of healthy individuals.The amplifica-tion products of cel-miR-39,cel-miR-238 and miR-342-3p showed a single melting peak at 81.44,81.62 and 82.71 ℃,respectively, without primer dimer peak or non-specific peak in all 10 cases of healthy individual plasma samples.The standard deviation(SD)of intra-assay and extra-assay of miR-342-3p was 0.13-0.20,and the coefficient of variation(CV)was 0.42%-0.66%,which sug-gesting that this detection method has a good repeatability.The levels of miR-342-3p were detected in a same plasma sample,each experiment was repeated for 5 times,and normalized by cel-miR-39 and cel-miR-238.The SD and CV of ΔCt was 0.22,1.68%,re-spectively,which indicating that cel-miR-39 and cel-miR-238 could be taken as the stable exogenous reference for the plasma miR-NAs detection by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.Conclusion Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR could serve as a good platform for plasma microRNA research.

Aging or senescence is a process in which individuals undergo an exponential decline in vitality, leading to death. Recent years,much progress on the molecular mechanisms underlying senescence have been made. (1) Some senescence-related gene such as SEN6A,hic-5,din1 and MORF 4 have been clarified; (2) In 1997, through a set of experiments sponsered by scientists of Department of Biology Massachusetts Institute of Technology, it was found that the accommulation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles (ERC) in budding yeasts nucleolus is responsible for cell-senescence and the researchers propose that when enough of these circles accumulate, they clog the nucleus and prevent the cell from reading or replicating its genome, causing it to stop dividing and ultimately to die; (3) In another work finished by National Institute on Aging and the Geron biotech company of Melo, it was proved that a cells biological clock,which tells the cell how and how many times to divide, lies in its telomeres, little bits of DNA that coat the tips of the chromosome and it was clarified that a powerful enzyme,telomerase, with the potential to rejuvenate the human bodys aging tissues could effectively extend the shortened telomere . Although there is a long way to go, scientists still believe that it will be made reality in the future to greatly extend the life-span of human.
