Objective To explore the relationship between iesion location ot the frst onset acute cerebral infarction(ACI),stroke severity and post-stroke depression (PSD).Methods The lesion Iocations of ACI were observed by CT or MRI.100 patients with the first onset ACI were assessed by Hamilton Depression Scale and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale two weeks after stroke.Results There was no significant difference in the incidence of PSD among the patients with left,right and bilateral lesions in acute stroke(23.91％,25.00％,33.33％,x2 =0.2512,P ＞0.05 ).The incidence of PSD had significant difference between the anterior-circulation and posterior-circulation infarction(33.96％,14.89％,x2 =4.8307,P ＜ 0.05 ).Stroke severity was positively correlated withthe incidence of PSD( 16.67％,31.37％,36.36％,x2 =3.9188,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The incidence of PSD was no significant correlation with the stroke site of patients with the first onset ACI,and the patients with anterior circulation infarction and severe neurological deficit have high incidence of PSD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and relationship of pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG) and p53 protein in large intestinal adenoma,large intestinal carcinoma and normal large intestinal mucosa tissues.MethodsImmunohistochemistry was employed to determine the expression of PTTG and p53 protein in 50 cases with large intestinal adenoma tissues,42 cases with large intestinal carcinoma tissues and normal large intestinal mucosa tissues.The relationship of the expression of PTTG and p53 protein with the clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.ResultsThere was no positive expression of p53 protein in normal large intestinal mucosa tissues,while the positive rate of PTTG expression was 7.14％(3/42).The positive rates of PTTG and p53 protein expression were 82.00％(41/50) and 90.00％(45/50) in large intestinal adenoma tissues,88.10％ (37/42) and 95.24％ (40/42) in large intestinal carcinoma tissues.The positive rates of PTTG and p53 protein over expression were 45.24％(19/42) and 69.05％(29/42) in large intestinal carcinoma tissues.The positive rates of PTTG and p53 protein expression in large intestinal carcinoma tissues were higher than those in large intestinal adenoma tissues and normal large intestinal mucosa tissues,the positive rates of PTTG and p53 protein expression in large intestinal adenoma tissues were higher than those in normal large intestinal mucosa tissues,and there were significant differences(P ＜ 0.05).The expression of PTTG was not correlated with p53 protein in large intestinal carcinoma tissues(P＞ 0.05 ),while the positive relationship was found between the expression of PTTG and p53 protein in large intestinal adenoma tissues (P ＜ 0.05 ).The over expression of PTTG was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.01 ),but the over expression of p53 protein was not correlated with lymph node metastasis(P ＞ 0.05) in large intestinal carcinoma tissues.Conclusions The expression of PTTG is significantly correlated with p53 protein in large intestinal adenoma tissues,and their co-expression may be used as markers for carcinogenesis of large intestinal adenoma tissues.The over expression of PTTG and p53protein is found in large intestinal carcinoma,and the over expression of PTTG is correlated with lymph node metastasis.The over expression of PTTG may be used as a marker for lymph node metastasis of large intestinal carcinoma.

The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) is widely used for targeted genomic and epigenomic modifications and imaging in cells and organisms, and holds tremendous promise in clinical applications. The efficiency and accuracy of the technology are partly determined by the target binding affinity and residence time of Cas9-single-guide RNA (sgRNA) at a given site. However, little attention has been paid to the effect of target binding affinity and residence duration on the repair of Cas9-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). We propose that the choice of DSB repair pathway may be altered by variation in the binding affinity and residence duration of Cas9-sgRNA at the cleaved target, contributing to significantly heterogeneous mutations in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing. Here, we discuss the effect of Cas9-sgRNA target binding and residence on the choice of DSB repair pathway in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, and the opportunity this presents to optimize Cas9-based technology.
