Objective Sentinel headache（SH） refers to new-onset headache or existing headache with altered characteristics that occurs within seven days before stroke in patients， and this study aims to investigate the incidence rate and clinical features of SH in stroke patients and its association with prognosis. Methods A total of 145 stroke patients who were admitted to Department of Neurology， The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University， from August 2022 to April 2023 were enrolled based on inclusion/exclusion criteria， and general information was collected. According to the presence or absence of SH， they were divided into headache and control group. The features of SH were summarized， and follow-up was performed after 1 year to analyze the association between SH and prognosis. Results Among the 145 patients with stroke，30（20.7%） developed SH， with the subtypes of intracerebral hemorrhage（9 patients， 25.7%）， cerebral infarction （15 patients，18.9%）， transient ischemic attack（3 patients，14.3%）， and subarachnoid hemorrhage （3 patients， 30.0%）. Conclusion SH may occur in all stroke patients， with a prevalence rate of 20.7%. The manifestations of SH include migraine-like headache， tension-type headache， and cluster-like headache. The results of this study do not establish an association between SH and 1-year prognosis in stroke patients，and further studies are needed in the future.

Objective To establish chronic stress model of depression in adolescent rats and to examine the effects of different antidepressant treatment on depression and anxiety-related behaviors.Methods Male Wistar rats were given 21-day chronic mild stress (CMS) during their adolescence (postnatal day 30～50, PND30～50).During stress period, rats were treated with fluoxetine (10 mg/kg i.p.) or imipramine (10 mg/kg i.p.), respectively.After stress, rats were tested for behavioral observation using body weight gain, saccharine test, open field and elevated plus-maze (EPM).Results Compared with control/vehicle (n=10) group, stress/vehicle (n=11) group displayed lower weight gain, saccharine preference index and the number of rearing in open field (P<0.05).Antidepressant fluoxetine, but not imipramine reversed anhedonia and the decrease of the number of rearing induced by stress.In addition, compared with early adolescent(PND29) rats, late adolescent (PND52) rats in control/vehicle group exhibited less open arm entries and open arm time, more closed arm time in EPM (P<0.05).Rats in stress/vehicle group showed more open arm entries and less closed arm time than controls(P<0.05).Both fluoxetine and imipramine had no effects on such changes.Conclusions Stress can induce the depression-like behavior in adolescent rats.Fluoxetine, but not imipramine,can effectively reverse anhedonia induced by stress.However, Both antidepressants have no significant effects on stress-induced decrease in developmental increment of anxious behavior during adolescence.These data suggest that chronic mild stress have complicated effects on depressive and anxious behavior in adolescent rats.

To analyze the characteristic of urinary protein spectrum in patients with stage III diabetic nephropathy (DN) and its compliance with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)symptom, for the sake of providing a basis for clarifying the rules of TCM syndrome differentiation in DN. Adopting the traditional epidemiological retrospective method, thirty-eight TCM syndromes and urinary protein with medium or low molecular weight, as well as urinary enzyme, including 24 h urinary protein (Upro), urinary albumin( UAlb), urinary retinal binding protein( URBP), urinary cystatin C (UCysC), urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (UNAG), were collected from 108 patients with stage III DN, and a multiple factor regression analysis between them was conducted. As the results, the levels of Upro, UAlb, URBP, UCysC, and UNAG were increased in 108 patients with stage III DN. Qi-Yin deficiency type was the major type. The level of UAlb in patients with Qi-Yin deficiency type was significantly higher than those without Qi-Yin deficiency type (P < 0.05). The elevation of Upro with the factors as swift digestion with rapid hungering, lassitude and lack of strength, weakness of waist and knees was complied, the elevation of UA1b with the factors as dry mouth with desire to drink, the elevation of URBP with the factors as numbness of extremities, shortness of breath, the elevation of UCysC with the factors as clear urine in large amounts, and the elevation of UNAG with the factors as frequent micturition, were complied respectively. In conclusion, for 108 stage III DN patients. The increase in urinary protein spectrum including UAlb, URBP, UCysC, and UNAG is the major characteristic. Shen and Pi are the major organs related to the appearance of urinary protein; Pi-Shen deficiency is the basic pathogenesis. The level of UAlb is taken as one of the objective syndrome factors for Qi-Yin deficiency type. The levels of UNAG and UCysC are possibly the objective syndrome factors for Shen-Qi deficiency type.

In clinic, some urinary protein makers can dynamically and noninvasively reflect the degree of renal tubular injury in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). These urinary biomarkers of tubular damage are broadly divided into two categories. One is newfound, including kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1), neutrophil getatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) and cystatin C (CysC); the other one is classical, including beta2 microglobulin (beta2-MG), retinal binding protein (RBP) and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG). It is reported that, the increases in urinary protein markers are not only closely related to the damage of tubular epithelial cells in DN patients, but also can be ameliorated by the treatment with Chinese herbal compound preparations or Chinese herbal medicine. Recently, although urinary proteomics are used in the protein separation and identification, the traditional associated detection of urinary protein markers is more practical in clinic. At present, it is possible that the associated detection of urinary biomarkers of glomerular and tubular damages may be a feasible measure to reveal the clinical significance of urinary protein markers in DN patients and the interventional effects of Chinese herbal medicine.

A simple, rapid and sensitive colorimetric reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) method was established to detect norovirus genotype GII. The method employed a set of six specially designed primers that recognized eight distinct sequences of RNA-dependant RNA polymerase and capsid protein gene for amplification of nucleic acid under isothermal conditions at 65 degrees C for 60 minutes. The amplification process of RT-LAMP was monitored by the addition of HNB (Hydroxy naphthol blue) dye prior to amplification. A positive reaction was indicated by a color change from violet to sky blue and confirmed by agarose electrophoresis. The specificity of the RT-LAMP was validated by detecting several different diarrhea viruses including norovirus genotype GII. The sensitivity was determined by serial dilutions of RNA molecules from in vitro transcription of norovirus genotype GII in parallel with conventional RT-PCR detection. The assay was further evaluated with 93 clinical specimens of diarrhea patients. The results showed that the sensitivity of RT-LAMP was 1 000 copies/microL with a high specificity and the relative sensitivity was at the same level as that of conventional RT-PCR. Positive rate of RT-LAMP in analysis of clinical specimens was approximately the same as that of conventional RT-PCR as well. This colorimetric RT-LAMP assay was potential for rapid detection of norovirus genotype GII on spot due to the observation of visual result with high specificity and sensitivity, time-saving and cost benefit.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation of all exone mutation in MLAA-34 gene with chemotherapeutic efficacy for leukemia.

METHODSThe expression level of MLAA-34 gene in 40 patients with AML-M5 and 5 healthy volunteers as control was detected by RT-PCR and its effect on chemotherapeutic efficacy were analyzed by RT-PCR; the effect of MLAA-34 gene mutation on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of AML-M5 patients was analyzed by sequencing of all 12 exoues in MLAA-34 gene, the correlation between the mutation of prognostic genes important to leukemia and the mutation of MLAA-34 gene was explored.

RESULTSThe expression level of MLAA-34 gene was significantly up-regulated as compared with that of healthy volunteers, moreover this up-regulation was related with a C59T SNP site located in second exon of MLAA-34 gene, meanswhile this SNP site is affinitive to the well-known mdecular markers of AML, inclinding Fms-like tyrosine kinase (FLT-3) and DNA methyltransferase-3A(DNAMT3A). The AML-M5 patients with high expression of MLAA-34 gene poorly responded to chemotherapy, the AML-M5 patients with MLAA-34 C59T mulation had even more high expression of MLAA-34 gene and significantly short OS and PFS in comparison with those of patients without C59T mutation.

CONCLUSIONThe C59T mutation in MLAA-34 gene is a high risk factor for recurrence of AML, and may be a cadidate target for treatment of AML.
