Objective To research the relation of early growth response gene-1(EGR-1) and NF-κB in human T-cell leukemia virus type 1(HTLV-1) Tax protein positive cells. Methods RT-PCR was used to amplify the aimed segments EGR-1 cDNA which was then inserted into an eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.0 to construct pcDNA3.0-EGR-1. The constructed plasmid was transfected into TaxN and TaxP cells by Tfx-50-mediated transfer method, the expression levels of EGR-1, p65 and Tax mRNA in transfected cells were assay by RT-PCR after 48 h post-transfection, the proteins of EGR-1 and p65 were detected by Western blot after 48 h post-transfection too. The constructed plasmid and pNF-κB-luc reporter gene plasmid was co-transfected into TaxN and TaxP cells by Tfx-50-mediated transfer method, and the activity of luciferase was assay after 48 h post-transfection. Results The results showed that the eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3.0-EGR-1 was successfully constructed. The mRNA and protein expression of EGR-1 could be promoted significantly by Tax. EGR-1 can promote the mRNA and protein expressions of p65 in TaxP cells, the activity of NF-κB was up-regulated by EGR-1 too. Conclusion EGR-1 maybe involve in adult T-cell leukemia(ATL) by increasing the activation of NF-κB.

Objective To explore early aberrant change of the function and grey matter volume within default-mode network in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by Independent component analysis and voxel-based morphometry.Methods Twenty-nine T2DM patients and thirty-three healthy control subjects were recruited in this study between May 2014 and January 2015,and the demographic and clinical data (fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c level) were obtained.General cognition was assessed by MMSE and MoCA in all subjects.Resting-state fMRI and T1-weighted imaging were performed in all subjects.Then the z-maps of default-mode network were obtained from Resting-state fMRI by independent component analysis,and the grey matter volumes were extracted by VBM.Finally,two-sample t-test was performed in the function and grey matter volume of DMN between two groups,and pearson correlation coefficients among zFC values extracted from significantly different brain regions,grey matter volumes and durations of T2DM patients were calculated.Results Patients with T2DM showed decreased Z value around the right anterior cingulated cortex and the right medial pre-frontal cortex(cluster=121,t=-3.81,P< 0.05).There was no significant difference in grey matter volume between the two groups,and no correlation between Z value or duration and grey matter volume was found.Conclusions It suggests the abnormality of connectivity of default-mode network may precede the abnormality of grey matter volume in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients.The DMN might be a new potential tool in monitoring the change of cognition in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

International Eye Science 2019;19(8):1424-1426
AIM:To observe the clinical value of digital nonmydriatic funds photography in screening diabetic retinopathy and early intervention of hospitalized diabetic patients.
METHODS: Totally 130 diabetic patients hospitalized in Department of Endocrinology of our hospital were selected from January 2015 to December 2016. All patients were underwent non-mydriatic digital fundus photography and fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA).
RESULTS: There were 82 eyes diagnosed as non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy(NPDR)and 28 eyes as proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)by non-mydriatic digital fundus photography. There were 89 eyes diagnosed as NPDR and 29 eyes as PDR by FFA. Compared with the result of the gold standard, the Kappa value of non-mydriatic digital fundus photography was 0.87(>0.61), and the test was consistency. There was no significant difference between the two methods in the detection of diabetic retinopathy in different stages(P>0.05). The positive rate of diabetic retinopathy was significantly higher in patients with diabetes mellitus over 10a(P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Digital fundus photography is an effective method for early detection of DR in hospitalized diabetic patients. It is of great significance to reduce the blindness rate of diabetic retinopathy.
