Post-transcriptional regulation of prokaryotes is of pivotal importance to the quality control and stability main -tenance of multiple proteins .The ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins-mediated modifications have widely participated in the manipulation of cell cycle control , subcellular localization and cellular metabolisms .Typical ubiquitin like proteins (UBLs) are ubiquitin,SUMO,Nedd8 and FAT10.Recently, the dynamic regulation mechanisms between sumoylation and de-sumoylation have become the cutting edge in the era of ubiquitin-like modifications.In this review, we briefly summa-rized the entire SUMO-mediated modification systems and the intricate balance regulation .We also discussed the counter acting star molecule SENP1 and its relationship with tumor initiation and progression ,immunological regulation and develop-mental homeostasis .

Regulatory T (Treg) cells exert significant influence on the control of autoimmunity and maintenance of homeostasis,while the progressive roles of Treg cells in solid tumor and hematological malignance have also attracted much attention recently.Except for the specific expression of transcription factor forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3),natural Treg (nTreg) cells have Treg-specific hypomethylation pattern in a limited number of key genes,which is indispensable for stable Treg cells and functional nTreg cells to define the T-cell subpopulation possessing Treg-type epigenome more accurately.The expression of Foxp3 and Treg-specific hypomethylation phenotype have close relationship with the epigenetic regulation,which involves DNA methylation,histone methylation,acetylation,microRNA,etc.This review summarizes the different mechanisms of epigenetic regulation according to the two important features of Treg cells.

To provide an effective approach to select, develop, interpret and apply well-designed quality indicators. Then to promote the continual improvement of laboratory quality and to assure patient safety. We focused on the quality cycle of selecting, development, implementation and processing for quality indicators. And some examples for essential activities in the development and use of quality indicators were shown. Through the presentation of process and examples, we put forward an organized approach that provides the laboratory with a plan to structure its development of quality indicators to gather useful information. Quality indicators are important. However, they should be integrated with internal review plan, External Quality Assessment (EQA) and the process of activities in plan. Only then can we really promote the continual improvement of quality.

Quantitative immunoassay technique is the common method of quantitative detection in clinical laboratory. Several important branches of quantitative immunoassay were formed by changing the tracer or the Antigen-antibody complex separation method, including radioimmunoassay, fluorescent immunoassay, enzyme immunoassay, chemiluminescence, colloidal gold, immuno-turbidimetric analysis and homogeneous immunoassay. Different immunoassay techniques have their own characteristics, also apply to different detecting conditions in clinic. This paper reviewed several common kinds of quantitative immunoassay technology, and discussed both their advantages and disadvantages, which provide reference for the application and development of clinical testing technology.

Neurotrophin 3(NT-3) is required for proprioceptive neuron survival and physiological function.During embryonic development,NT-3 deficient in developing muscle dues to loss of proprioceptive neurons in dorsal root ganglia or their axons by apoptosis,and then to the absence of muscle spindles.The chemoattractant effect of NT-3 on dorsal root ganglion axons has been improved that NT-3 is a key requirement for the development of proprioceptive projection to motor neurons.Depletion of NT-3 in the period of adult educes to the decline of the function of proprioception.NT-3 has extensive protective effect on proprioceptive neuron and enhances them to restore the normal physiological function under the pathological state.

Bone marrow-derived stem cells, mainly including hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, multipotent adult progenitor cells, etc., are the most densely studied adult stem cells up to now. Recent findings indicate that adult stem cells have the potential to differentiate across lineage barriers and to adopt the expression profiles and functional phenotypes of cells unique to other tissues. This flexibility is termed "plasticity",which has posed challenges to conventional concepts. Meanwhile, it brings new hopes for the therapeutic application of cell engineering and tissue engineering. This review focuses on the biological features, the plasticity and its possible mechanisms, research method and potential clinical application of bone marrow-derived adult stem cells

Objective To investigate the leukoaraiosis(LA)influencing factors of sleep disorder patients. Meth-ods 90 cases of LA patients which were conformed MRI diagnostic criteria were chosen as LA group,90 cases of normal old people which the gender and age were matched with LA group were chosen as NC group;by asking the medical history to inquirying blood vessel hazards;pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)was adopted to evaluate the condition of sleep disorders,according to the performance MRI of skull to part LA group as four grades. Results In LA group,hypertension and diabetes incidence were significantly higher than that in group NC(P < 0. 05);LA group,PSQI score was significantly higher than that of NC group(P < 0. 01). LA group with the LA increasing grade,PSQI score increased(P < 0. 05). Regression analysis showed that age,hypertension,diabetes and MoCA were associated with LA in patients with sleep disorders. Conclusion Patients with LA have a sleep disorder, which is closely related with the degree of cognitive impairment,LA lesions,age,hypertension,diabetes etc.

Autophagy is an important pathway in the body to remove damaged cell organelles and dysfunctional proteins to maintain protein equilibrium and intracellular homeostasis by the lysosomal system .As a degenerative disease of central nervous system , the main feature of Alzheimer ’ s disease is abnormal protein aggregation .However , the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer ’ s disease is not fully clear yet .The aim of this paper is to take β-amyloid peptide as a starting point to explore the relationship between autophagy and β-amyloid peptide in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease.

Cognitive function has become a hot spot in the field of epilepsy. However,the relationship between cognitive function and epilepsy has not been clearly demonstrated. Clinical trials have showed that epi-lepsy and epileptic relevant factors are both associated with cognitive function in children. Children with cogni-tive impairment are often caused by those two factors. This article focuses on cognitive function in children with epilepsy age below 6 years,and mainly reviews the characteristics of cognitive function in these children with epilepsy.

Objective To investigate whether Berberine can inhibit the invasion of Streptococcus pueum oniae ( S.pn) to A549 cells in vitro. Methods A549 cells were pretreated with the different concentrations of Berberine and incubated together with S.pn. A549 cells were lysed with 0.025%Triton X-100.Diluted lysate was streaked on TSAB plate and incubated overnight. The colonies on the plate were counted. Results The counts on the plates were 52 ± 21,29 ± 11,13 ± 10,0,0 per well when the concentration of Berberine was 0,25,50,100,200μg/mL, respectively. No invasion was observed when the concentration of Berberine was 100 μg/mL. Conclusion Berberine can inhibit the invasion of S.pn to A549 cells in dose-dependent maner in vitro.
