2.The experimental study on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt in neural stem cells in vitro
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 1986;0(04):-
Objective:To discuss the function of PI3K (phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase)/Akt signal pathway in proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs).Methods:Control group,wortmannin group and LY294002 group were randomly assigned.The expression of Nestin,NSE and S100 were detected by immunohistochemistry.The ratio of cell apoptosis was estimated by TUNEL staining and the expressions of phosphorylated Akt and Caspase-9 were detected by Western blotting.Results:With the increase in concentration of wortmannin and LY294002,the ratio of NSCs apoptosis increased.The results of Western blotting indicated that the expression of phosphorylated Akt decreased when the concentration of wortmannin and LY294002 increased.High concentration of wortmannin and LY294002 inhitited Akt phosphorylated.At the same time,the expression of phosphorylated Caspase-9 decreased.Conclusion:The survival of NSCs depends on the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway,but PI3K/Akt pathway may have little function in the differentiation of NSCs.
4.Clinic significance of anatomy classifications of vertebral artery-atlas complex
Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics 2013;(6):635-639
Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of classifying vertebral artery-atlas complex using angiographic CT (computed tomography angiography,CTA).Methods The CTA data of 225 patients were reconstructed three-dimensionally in Mimics.The region of V3 segment of vertebral artery and isthmus of atlas's posterior arch were reconstructed as vertebral artery-atlas complex,classify according to the relationship of the two.The complex types were classed into 3 types and 7 subtypes.Type A was conventional type,which means V3 segment locates above the isthmus of atlas.The distance between vertebral artery and atlas was larger than 1.8 mm in A1 subtype.The distance was between 1.8 and 0.6 mm in A2,and less than 0.6 mm in A3.Type B was variation of vertebral artery.Subtype B1 was far-away variation,which means artery doesn't pass around posterior arch of atlas.Subtype B2 means the artery passed underneath the arch of atlas.Type C was variation of bone.Bone structure was closed in subtype C 1,and unclosed in subtype C2.The distance between artery and atlas was measured in subtype A1 and A2.Results There were 450 cases of vertebral artery-atlas complex in the 225 patients,which could be divided into A1,including 57 (12.7%),A2,including 115 (25.6%),A3,including 194 (43.1%); B1 including 20 (4.4%),B2,including 9 (2.0%); C1,including 34 (7.6%),C2,including 21 (4.7%).More than half patients (50.2%) had different subtype in both sides.The measured value of VAD was 2.42±0.52 and 1.20±0.36 mm in subtype A 1 and A2 respectively.Conclusion Reconstructing CTA images before fixation of atlas can clearly demonstrate the complex of V3 segment of vertebral artery and isthmus of the posterior arch of atlas.Classifying the complex and choose appropriate method of inserting screws can improve the security of the operation.

Chinese Journal of Rheumatology 2014;18(11):738-742,后插1
Objective To correlate the neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and anti-mtDNA antibodies (Abs) with disease activity and clinical features in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods We enrolled 102 SLE patients,rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients (n=30) and healthy donors as controls (n=40).NET were generated from phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)-stimulated peripheral neutrophils.mtDNA levels and the transcriptional levels of five interferon inducible genes(IFIGs)(OAS-1,Mx-1,Ly6e,IFIT1 and IFIT4) were measured by quantitative PCR.Interferon scores (IFN scores) were calculated.Anti-mtDNA Abs were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Spearman's correlation analysis,t test andx2 test were used for statistical analysis.Results mtDNA release by netting neutrophils was greatly enhanced in SLE patients (1 088 000 ±1 133 000) compared with healthy controls (465 900±447 200)(t=2.617,P<0.01) and significantly correlated with IFN scores (r=0.460 6,P<0.01).NETs mtDNA in moderate active group (728 300±1 003 000) and severe active group (1 093 000±946 500) were significantly higher than the mild active group (159 500±155 100) (t=2.240,P<0.05,t=3.894,P<0.01).Forty-one percent of SLE patients were positive for anti-mtDNA Abs(1.28±0.68),while none of the healthy donors (0.70±0.31) (P<0.01) and RA controls (0.59±0.18)(P<0.01) displayed a positive serology response to mtDNA.Addition-ally,the titers of anti-mtDNA Abs were also associated with IFN scores (r=0.292 8,P<0.05).Anti-mtDNA Abs in moderate active group (1.3±-0.6) and severe active group(1.4±0.7)were significantly higher than the mild active group (0.7±0.4) (t=3.154,3.538,all P<0.01).The levels of anti-mtDNA Abs significantly correlated with classic an-ti-dsDNA Abs titers measured by Farr assay (r=0.542 9,P<0.001) and were associated with LN (x2=8.644,P<0.01).Conclusion mtDNA in NET and anti-mtDNA Abs serve as new biomarkers for disease activity and renal involvement in SLE patients.
10.The potential role of neurotrophic factor in the pathogenesis and therapy of Parkinson's disease
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
Parkinson's disease is characterized by degeneration and dysfunction of dopaminergic neurons in the mid-brain substantia nigra, neurons that project to the caudate putamen. The clinical symptoms are caused by the loss of dopamine and the consequent dysfunction of the nigrostriatal pathway. Neurotrophic factors that may prevent nigrostriatal degeneration by improving the function of remaining dopaminergic neurons has the potential to be a useful therapy for Parkinson's disease. Neurotrophic factors and their specific receptors could play an important role in the progress of Parkinson's disease. The neuroprotective effects of neurotrophic factors GDNF, BDNF, IL-6 on dopaminergic neurons in vivo and in vitro , and the potential therapeutic use in treating Parkinson's disease were discussed in this paper.
