Tianjin Medical Journal 2016;44(7):843-845
Objective To investigate the changes and roles of the long non-coding RNA (IncRNA)during the reprogramming of human induced pluripotent stem cells. Methods Agilent Human lncRNA (4 × 180K) chip was used to check the expression of lncRNA in somatic cells, induced pluripotent stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Compared with differentially expressed lncRNA in somatic cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, lncRNA was selected that may play an important role during the reprogramming of human pluripotent stem cells. Results The lncRNA expression profiles in induced pluripotent stem cells were similar to embryonic stem cells, but were different from the somatic cells. A total of 3 156 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found between stem cells and somatic cells by cluster analysis, and 222 differentially expressed lncRNAs were found during the reprogramming process of human pluripotent stem cells by biological analysis. Conclusion lncRNA may play an important role in reprogramming process of human pluripotent stem.

BACKGROUND: Physical therapy is an effective treatment for movement disorder caused by central nerve system injury, while incorrect rehabilitative method will exacerbate the movement disorders in patients.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of physical therapy on movement and daily activity of the patients suffering from brain injury.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on patients with a confirmativediagnosis.SETTING: Rehabilitation department in a university hospital.PARTICIPANTS: From September 2001 to August 2002, 78 patients hospitalized in the Rehabilitation Department of the Hospital Affiliated to Luzhou Medical College, with hemiplegia caused by brain injury, were selected into this study. The patients with severe brain injury, severe understanding disability, and severe heart diseases, lung diseases and kidney diseases were excluded.METHODS: The eligible patients were divided into two groups: the physical therapy group(48 patients) and the control group(30 patients) . All the patients in these two groups received medication and the hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), while the patients in the physical therapy group received an extra physical therapy.MAIN OUTCOMES MEASURES: A Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA) and a modified barthel index(MBI) were adopted to evaluate the pre-and post-treatment statuses of the patients in these two groups.RESULTS: No significant difference in age, sex and disease course between the physical therapy group and the control group was found. In the physical therapy group, the FMA scale before and after the therapy were 40.43 ± 21.78 and 68.35 ±23.39, and the corresponding MBI scale were 32.82 ± 17.40 and 78.84 ± 25.31 respectively. In the control group,meanwhile, the FMA scales were 41.71 ± 19. 13 and 51.48 ± 22.58, and the MBI scales were 33.02 ± 12.48 and 56.65 ± 26.53. Before the therapy,comparison of FMA and MBI between the two groups showed no significant difference. While after the therapy, significant difference of FMA and MBI between the two groups could be confirmed( t = 2. 14, 2.21, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Physical therapy could apparently enhance the rehabilitation of movement ability in patients with brain injury.

Colorectal cancer is a kind of malignancies with high incidence in the worldwide, that is seriously harmed human health. So far the pathogenesis of the disease is not fully understood, this causing many difficulties to the diagnosis and treatment of the disease, and resulting in the cure rates of disease is not ideal. With the development of molecular genetics and molecular biology, many oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes have been found to be associated with the disease, and this made it is possible to reveal the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer at the molecular level. However, it is a complex and multi-step process from normal colorectal epithelial cells transformed to colorectal cancer cells, and it is the results of polygenic and multifactorial interactions. Now it is thought that the Wnt, TGF-beta, PI3K/Akt, MAPK and p53 signaling pathways are closely associated with pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. Based on the five kinds of signaling pathways as the main line, this article reviewed the roles of different signaling pathways and their related genes in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer.
