Objective To evaluate the relationship between myocardial perfusion imaging quality and reconstruction time of dual-souce CT (DSCT).Methods Myocardial perfusion imaging was performed in 28 subjects using second-generation DSCT.The coronary arteries of all selected subjects were normal.280 ms temporal resolution was used,and the image of 30 ％-80 ％ R-R phase was reconstructed by retrospective ECG gating interval 5 ％.The artifact area of myocardial perfusion iodine map image of each R-R interval were obtained.Average segment artifacts of the heart bottom,central,apical,apical level of heart level were calculated and statistical analyzed.Results The artifact area of myocardial perfusion iodine map of the heart bottom,central,apical,and the whole heart had statistically significant differences (all P＜0.01),and the minimum artifact area was in60％ R-R phase ([0.31±±0.28]cm2,[0.18±0.23]cm2,[0.13±0.13]cm2,[0.22± 0.18]cm2).There was no difference between different phases of the heart apical level (P=0.634).The minimum artifact area of myocardial perfusion iodine map of the heart bottom,central,apical,apical level in 60％ R-R phase at the heart apical,the difference had statistically significant (F 3.701,P=0.014),there was no difference between the heart apical and central (P＞0.05),but the difference between the heart apical and other parts had statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Using 280 ms temporal resolution,second-generation DSCT can achieve the optimal myocardial perfusion imaging quality using 60％ R-R phase reconstruction.

To develop a new small molecular probe for discovering an antitumor lead compound from the replacement of carboxylic group of two molecular antibacterial fluoroquinolones with a heterocyclic ring, a series of the C3/C3 bis-fluoroquinolones tethered with an 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole ring were synthesized as their respective HCl salts, and their structures were characterized by elemental analysis and spectral data. The in vitro antitumor activity against L1210, CHO and HL60 cell lines was also evaluated via the respective IC50 values by methylthiazole trazolium (MTT) assay.

An efficient modified route based on the targeting mechanism of antibacterial fluoroquinolones for the shift from the antibacterial activity to the antitumor one was further developed. Using a fused heterocyclic ring, s-triazolothiadiazine as a carboxyl bioisostere of ciprofloxacin, the title compounds, 1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-7-piperazin-1-yl-3-(6-substituted-phenyl-7H-[1, 2, 4]triazolo[3, 4-b][1, 3, 4]thiadiazin-3-yl)-quinolin-4(1H)-ones (5a-5e) and their corresponding N-acetyl products (6a-6e), were designed and synthesized, separately. Meaningfully, a ring-contraction of fused six-membered thiadiazine occurred by a sulfur extrusion reaction gave new tri-acetylated fused heterocycles related to pyrazolo[5, 1-c][1, 2, 4] triazoles (7a-7e). The in vitro antitumor activity against L1210, CHO and HL60 cell lines was also evaluated for the synthesized fifteen heterocycles compared to parent ciprofloxacin by methylthiazole trazolium (MTT) assay. Interestingly, the results displayed that fifteen fused heterocyclic compounds showed more significant growth inhibitory activity (IC50 < 25.0 micromo x L(-1)) than that of parent ciprofloxacin (IC50 > 150.0 micromol x L(-1)), and the active order decreased from 7a-7e to 5a-5e to 6a-6e, respective.

OBJECTIVE Na+/K+-ATPase(NKA)is a large membrane protein expressed universally in all cells.It is indispensable for the maintenance of ionic gradient.We previously reported that the dysfunction of this pump in neurons and astrocytes contributes to stroke and neurodegenerative diseases,respectively.However,its roles in the microglia and stress-related diseases are still unclear.METHODS Two classical models,chronic restraint stress(CRS)model and electronic foot shock(ES)model,were used to study the pathogenesis of anxi-ety in either NKAα1 global knockout(NKAα1 GKO)mice or NKA α1 conditional knockout(NKAα1 CKO)mice.Behavioral tests like open-field test,elevated plus maze,Morris water maze,novel object recognition test and gait imaging test were performed.A variety of molecular bio-logical methods were employed,including RNA sequenc-ing(RNA-seq)analyses,immunofluorescence and elec-trophysiological recordings etc.RESULTS NKAα1 defi-ciency had a broad impact on physical stress-induced anxiety-like behavior,but failed to exacerbate CRS induced memory deficits.Electrophysiology experiment showed that NKAα1 GKO and NKAα1 CKO mice exhibit-ed neuronal hyperexcitability under chronic stress.The underlying mechanisms may involve neuroinflammation,as NKAα1 deficiency exacerbated stress-induced microg-lia activation in vivo.Similarly,inhibition or downregula-tion of NKA α 1 aggravated LPS + ATP-induced inflam-mation in vitro.DR5-12D,a monoclonal antibody against the DR-region of NKAa1,improved stress-induced anxiety-like behavior through amelioration of the neuronal hyper-excitability and neurogenesis deficit in the ventral hippo-campus of mice.CONCLUSION NKA is closely related to neuroinflammation in microglia and DR-region of NKA a1 subunit may serve as a novel target to treat stress-induced anxiety.

The formation of learning and memory is regulated by synaptic plasticity in hippocampal neurons. Here we explored how gestational exposure to dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid commonly used in clinical practice, has lasting effects on offspring's learning and memory. Adult offspring rats of prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) displayed significant impairments in novelty recognition and spatial learning memory, with some phenotypes maintained transgenerationally. PDE impaired synaptic transmission of hippocampal excitatory neurons in offspring of F1 to F3 generations, and abnormalities of neurotransmitters and receptors would impair synaptic plasticity and lead to impaired learning and memory, but these changes failed to carry over to offspring of F5 and F7 generations. Mechanistically, altered hippocampal miR-133a-3p-SIRT1-CDK5-NR2B signaling axis in PDE multigeneration caused inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission, which might be related to oocyte-specific high expression and transmission of miR-133a-3p. Together, PDE affects hippocampal excitatory synaptic transmission, with lasting consequences across generations, and CDK5 in offspring's peripheral blood might be used as an early-warning marker for fetal-originated learning and memory impairment.
