Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disease that belongs to the category of dementia in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). According to the TCM theory, phlegm, dampness, stasis, and toxin are the major factors inducing the occurrence and development of AD. The application of aromatic Chinese medicines to remove the combined phlegm, dampness, stasis, and toxin is an important TCM method for treating AD. Aquaporins (AQPs) are involved in the water metabolism of the central nervous system (CNS), playing a role in the water balance of CNS. Therefore, AQPs are deeply involved in the occurrence and development of AD. AQPs may be the key targets of a variety of aromatic Chinese medicines. From the intrinsic relationship between AQPs and AD-inducing factors (phlegm, dampness, stasis, and toxin), this study explores the modern medical connotation of treating AD with aromatic Chinese medicines, aiming to provide ideas for the prevention and treatment of AD with TCM.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Lamins B2 (LMNB2) on the migration of human retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RPLS) cells SW872.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the the differential expression levels of LMNB2 in 33 RPLS tissue samples . The correlation between LMNB2 expression and clinical prognosis and clinicopathological features was analyzed. siRNA was used to lower the expression level of LMNB2 in tumor cells, and the effect of LMNB2 on the scratch healing ability and migration ability of SW872 cells was examined by using wound-healing assay and transwell migration assay. The expression levels of p-AKT and AKT in each group cells were detected by Western blot.Results:Patients with high LMNB2 expression had a lower recurrence-free survival and overall survival compared to those with low LMNB2 expression, and were more likely to experience recurrence, ( χ2=4.872, P=0.027; χ2=4.180, P=0.041; χ2=7.127, P=0.008). The migration ability of cells was significantly reduced following the silencing of LMNB2 expression ( t=11.240, P<0.01; t=7.445, P<0.01). The expression level of p-AKT in the silencing group was significantly lower than that in the control group, while there was no significant difference in the expression level of AKT between the two groups ( t=9.784, P<0.01). Conclusion:LMNB2 may promote the migration of human retroperitoneal liposarcoma cells SW872 by regulating AKT signaling pathway.

Objective:To assess impact of radiation from nuclear power on the surrounding environment, a dose assessment model was constructed and relevant dose coefficients were determined through refined animal models.Methods:Zebrafish is one of the most important aquatic model animals in the radiation hazard assessment of nuclear power liquid effluent. A geometric model of zebrafish containing internal bones and visceral organ was established for dose estimation. The internal and external dose coefficients (DC) of the zebrafish model were calculated by Monte Carlo method with seven nuclides as the source term, 3H, 40K, 58Co, 60Co, 110Ag, 134Cs, 137Cs, which are common in nuclear liquid effluents and environmental monitoring. Results:The level of nuclide gamma energy determines dose coefficients for external radiation. The dose coefficients of most nuclides in internal organs was higher than that in whole body, and the internal organ dose of 58Co was 165% higher than that in whole body. The internal radiation dose coefficients of the model established in this study was relatively high, and the internal radiation dose coefficients caused by 60Co was 2.6 times of existing ellipsoid model, which suggested that the different internal materials and the choice of different particle types would affect the energy deposition. Conclusions:Refining of model animals is important. Accurate assessment of the organs dose coefficients of model animals is helpful to assess the radiation effects on non-human species.
