Affiliated Hospital. Second Military Medical College. ShanghaiForty-two cases of chronic subdural hematoma were treated by irrigation and drainage. Symptoms of elevated intracranial -pressure, localizing neurologic signs and cerebral angiography established the diagnosis. Operative treatment consisted of evacuation of the hematoma by repeated irrigation through burr holes made on the frontal and parietal side of the hematoma. A plastic tube was placed through the parietal hole for continuous drainage for three to four days. The above mentioned treatment is simple to perform and rather safe even for the senile and debilitated patients. Among 44 patients all 19 preoperatively unconscious patients regained consciousness postoperatively. Twenty-three cases were followed up from one to seventeen years. All patients recovered completely without recurrence of hema-toma or epilepsy, except one patient who is still having hemiparesis at present.
3. Brain network analysis of adolescent depression with attempted suicide
Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging Technology 2020;36(7):981-985
Objective: To explore the changes of the graph theory metrics and the functional connectivity (FC) of adolescent depression with attempted suicide. Methods: Resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) data of 33 patients of adolescent depression with attempted suicide (attempted suicide group), 40 patients of adolescent depression without attempted suicide (no suicide group) and 52 normal adolescents (NC group) were collected, and a binary network was constructed. The brain regions changed in the graph theory attribute were selected as the seeds, and FC between seed and all the other voxels within the whole brain was computed and compared among groups. Results: There were small world attributes in all subjects. Compared with NC group, the degree of centrality significantly decreased in adolescent depression patients (P<0.01), and there were negative correlations between the decreased degree of centrality and Hamilton Depression Scale scores (r=-0.31, P<0.01). Compared with NC group, FC of the somatomotor networks and the salience network decreased in adolescent depression patients, while FC of the attention network in attempted suicide group increased than in no suicide group (all TFCE correction, P<0.05). Conclusion: Decrease of visual network information transmission ability in patients of adolescent depression is related to the severity of depression. The abnormal attention space ability caused by the attention network lesions may be the pathological mechanism of suicidal attempt in patients of adolescent depression.

The study aims at cloning the CDS fragment of erk2 gene cDNA in Inner Mongolia Cashmere Goat and analyzing its tissue-specific expression, erk2 gene cDNA was cloned by RT-PCR. The nucleotide sequence was analyzed by Blast and amino acid sequence was analyzed by online softwares SMART and Psite. The tissue-specific expression pattern of erk2 was analyzed by quantitative RT-PCR. The expression of erk2 in testis of goat was detected by Immunohistochemistry. The cloned erk2 gene cDNA (GenBank Accession No. JX569765) was 1 083 bp in length, including a complete ORF encoding 360 amino acids residues. The amino acid sequence shares 100% identity with the Bos Taurus ERK2 (Bos Taurus BC133588.1). Analysis by SMART suggests that the encoded protein contained a "TEY" structure and an S-TKc domain possessing serine/threonine kinase catalytic activity. Analysis with Psite indicates one cAMP-/cGMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site, 3 protein kinase C phosphorylation sites, 5 casein kinase II phosphorylation sites, 2 protein kinases ATP-binding region signatures and one serine/threonine protein kinases active-site signature in this protein. Analysis by Psort (k-NN prediction) suggestes that this protein most probably is localized in cytoplasm. The results of quantitative RT-PCR show that the expression of erk2 mRNA was higher in heart, skin and breast, whereas lower in spleen and kidney. ERK2 protein was detected in testis by immunohistochemistry.

Objective To determine whether macrophages can behave as antigen presenting cells participating the formation of immunological synapse in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether this process can affect the apoptosis. Moreover, this study was aimed to observe the function of cyclophilin A (CypA) in immunological synapse formation and its role in regulating the apoptosis of macrophages. Methods human acute monocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1) induced macrophages were coated with staphylococcal enterotoxin B(SEB) (100 ng/ml) and co-cultured with activated Jurkat T cells (human acute T-cell leukemia cell line), then incubated in the RPMI-1640 for 16 hours to induce apoptosis. The apoptosis of the macrophages were analyzed by flow cytometry by Annexin V-PI staining. The macrophages cultured in the RPMI-1640 alone were used as control. Meanwhile, CypA (200 ng/ml) were added to or not added in order to observe the apoptosis of macrophages. The function of CypA and the apoptosis of macrophages isolated from RA peripheral blood were also investigated through co-culture with CD4+T cells isolated by immunomagnetic beads. Comparisons between groups were performed by two-sample t-tests. Results In the peripheral blood of healthy people and RA patients, the apoptosis of macrophages which participated immunological synapse was (32.9±2.8)%, (24.7±1.6)%, (14.5±1.2)% respectively, which was significantly lower than the apoptosis of macrophages cultured alone [ respectively for (61.4±2.4)%, (45.5±2.6)%, (22.9±1.5)%, (P<0.05) ]. After CypA was added, the apoptosis of macrophages in cell lines, healthy people and RA patients decreased to (27.2±2.1)%, (20.1±1.1)%, (12.9±1.0)%, lower than the apoptosis of macrophages which participated immunological synapse formation (P<0.05). Conclusion In RA, the macrophages participate in the formation of immunological synapse by interacting with CD4+ T cells. They can significantly reduce the apoptosis on themselves. CypA can enhance this effect. These results provide a new theoretical foundation for prolonged survival of macrophages in RA, which can secrete a variety of cytokines to enhance inflammation and joint destruction.
