Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2020;24(3):408-415
BACKGROUND: In recent years, with the deepening of medical research, it has been found that PI3K/AKT signaling pathway has a regulatory effect on vascular repair regeneration, osteoblast differentiation and proliferation, and osteoclast bone differentiation. This is very important for the treatment of femoral head necrosis. OBJECTIVE: To provide a brief overview of the main research progress in mechanisms of PI3K/AKT signaling pathway regulating femoral head necrosis in recent years, aiming to provide new ideas for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head in the future. METHODS: PubMed and MEDLINE database, Wanfang, CNKI, WIPO and CBM database were searched from 2012 to 2019, for relevant domestic and foreign literatures, including: (1) epidemiological study of osteonecrosis of the femoral head and related pathogenesis; (2) PI3K/AKT pathway related mechanism; (3) research literature on the effects of PI3K/AKT on factors related to vascular repair and regeneration; (4) research literature on the regulation of PI3K/AKT on osteoblast differentiation and proliferation-related factors; (5) literature on the regulation of PI3K/AKT on functional factors related to osteoclast differentiation. A total of 62 literatures were included for analysis and summary. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway has been proven to be effective in the regulation of vascular repair regeneration, osteoblast differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis and osteoclast differentiation. After understanding these pathways, research and development of related drugs to improve the success rate of early conservative treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head have great development prospects and potential, opening up a new path for future orthopedic surgeons to treat osteonecrosis of the femoral head, and bringing new hope to patients and their families. (2) According to the different osteonecrosis of the femoral head conditions of patients, how to use PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to guide treatment becomes a breakthrough point and challenge of this technology, and more research is needed later.

Vertebral artery hypoplasia is a congenital vessel variation. Its incidence is from 1. 9 to 26. 5% . In recent years, studies have shown that vertebral artery hypoplasia may be a potential risk factor for posterior circulation infarction, especialy when it coexists with other cerebrovascular risk factors. Vertebral artery hypoplasia may also cause regional hypoperfusion and complex neurovascular regulation, and it also has a certaln link with migralne.

Objective To evaluate the role of mitochondrial fission in anoxia-reoxygenation injury to rat hippocampal neurons.Methods Neurons were enzymatically isolated from hippocampi of newborn Sprague-Dawley rats (less than 24 h old).The primary hippocampal neurons were cultured and seeded in 25 mm × 25 mm culture flasks at a density of 7 × 105/ml.The cultured neurons were randomly assigned into 3 groups (n =18 each) using a random number table:control group (C group),anoxia-reoxygenation group (I/R group),and mitochondrial fission inhibitor mdivi-1 group (M group).In group I/R,the vehicle dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO,final concentration < 0.1%) was added prior to anoxia and the cells were then incubated for 40 min.In group M,mdivi-1 (dissolved in DMSO,final concentration of DMSO < 0.1%) was added prior to anoxia and the cells were then incubated for 40 min.The hippocampal neurons were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 6 h followed by restoration of O2 supply for 20 h.After 20 h of reoxygenation,the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (by ELISA),cell apoptosis (using flow cytometry),and expression of mitochondrial fission protein Drp1,Bcl-2 and Bax (by Western blot) were measured.The apoptosis rate and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax were calculated.Results Compared with C group,ROS content and apoptosis rate were significantly increased,the expression of Drp1 and Bax was up-regulated,the expression of Bcl-2 was down-regulated,and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax was decreased in I/R group (P < 0.05).Compared with I/R group,ROS content and apoptosis rate were significantly decreased,the expression of Drp1 and Bax was down-regulated,the expression of Bcl-2 was up-regulated,and the ratio of Bcl-2 to Bax was increased in M group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Mitochondrial fission is involved in anoxia-reoxygenation injury to rat hippocampal neurons via mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway.

The varicela-zoster virus(VZV) infection causes central vasculopathy,and then leads to stroke onset. This article review s the correlation betw een VZV infection and stroke onset in order to conduct a comprehensive assessment of patients w ith VZV infection, thereby reducing the risk of stroke after VZV infection.

Massive open online course (MOOC) is an emerging online course model for the public. It is large-scale, open, interactive, etc. Therefore, MOOC has been developing rapidly at home and abroad in recent years. The advanced education philosophy of MOOC has also brought many inspirations to the teaching reform mode of Radiation Medicine. Under the background of the current military reform, the building of the online teaching platform on the basis of MOOC may realize the substantive reform of Radi-ation Medicine teaching, which can improve the comprehensive quality of the teachers and students, and cultivate more excellent military medical talents.
