BACKGROUND: The mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) may affects vascular smooth muscle cell Ras protein and suppress cellular proliferation through inhibition of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase signaling pathway, which plays an important role in pathogenesis of vascular disorders such as hypertension, atherosclerosis and post-angioplasty restenosis. Mfn-2 gene amino acid sequence of the first 442 serine serves as protein kinase A (PKA) phosphorylation site, which is closely related to its phosphorylation status and may be involved in its functional regulation.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Mfn2 gene with PKA phosphorylation site deletion[Mfn2-PKA (△)] on inhibiting the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and related signaling pathway.METHODS: Vascular smooth muscle cells of rats infected by recombinational adenovirus carrying green fluorescent protein,Mfn2 gane and Mfn2-PKA (△), were subcultured for 3-10 passages and randomly divided into 4 groups: ① Control group without intervention. ② Control group infected with adenovirus carrying green fluorescent protein. ③ Experiment group infected with adenovirus carrying Mfn-2 gene.④ Experiment group infected with adenovirus carrying Mfn2-PKA (△). Laser confocal microscopy was used to observe the locations of Mfn2 gene with and without PKA in cells. The expressions of extracallular signal-regulated protein kinase, Mfn2 gone and Mfn2-PKA (△) were determined by Western blot analysis. The growth curve of the vascular smooth muscle cells was explored by MTT.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Mfn-2 and Mfn2-PKA (△) both expressed protein-specific bands in vascular smooth muscle cells. Two kinds of gone expression products were mainly located at the out membrane of mitochondria. Compared with the control group and adenovirus carrying green fluorescent protein group, the absorbance values at 3, 4, 5, 6 days were significantly reduced in adenovirus carrying Mfn2 group (P ＜ 0.01), and no obvious changes were observed in adenovirus carrying Mfn2-PKA (△) group. Compared with the control group and adenovirus carrying green fluorescent protein group, the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase expression was significantly reduced in adenovirus carrying Mfn2 group (P ＜ 0.01), and no obvious changes were observed in adenovirus carrying Mfn2-PKA (△) group. Mfn2-PKA (△) located at the out membrane of mitochondria, has no effect on suppressing the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells, and no inhibition effect on extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the deafness-related gene mutation frequency and hotspots in patients of Fuzhou city with non-syndromic hearing loss (NSHL). METHODS Peripheral blood samples were obtained from 88 cases of patients with hearing loss after clinical history inquiry and clinical examination. Their genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood by extraction kits to undergo polymerase chain reaction, traditional capillary electrophoresis sequencing and High-throughput sequencing so as to detect the mutations of deafness-related gene. RESULTS Among the 88 patients with NSHL, the gene mutation frequency was 34.09%.In the patients, 14 cases had mitochondrial 12 S rRNA mutations, six cases had GJB2 gene mutations and three cases had SLC26A4 mutations, two cases had MYO15A mutations, the other five cases had MYO7A, OTOF, TECTA, TMC1 and ILDR1 gene mutation respectively. CONCLUSION Among the 88 patients with NSHL, the most frequent mutation causing hereditary deadness was mutation in mitochondrial 12 S rRNA, followed by GJB2 and SLC26A4, The other genes such as MYO7A, OTOF, TECTA, TMC1 and ILDR1 gene were infrequent. The study could provide theoretical reference in genetic diagnosis, prevention and cure of hearing loss.

Objective:To analyze the feature of cranial nerve involvement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its relationship with the prognosis.Method:A total of 1892 patients who were diagnosed as NPC in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2003,of which the cranial nerve involvement was 183 (9.6%) patients, were analyzed the effect of cranial nerve involvement on the prognosis.Result:The percentage of cranial nerve involvement was 9.4%. The 5 year overall survival rate was 61.0%,disease free survival rate was 55.3%,local relapse free survival rate was 75.2% and distant metastasis free survival rate was73.4%.Periods of cranial nerve involvement,clinical stage,the diameter of the lymph nodes,involvement of cavernous sinus, and the level of the recovery of cranial nerve involvement were significantly associated with prognosis in univariate analysis(P<0.05).With multivariate analysis,the recovery level of cranial nerve involvement was the independent factor that affected the 5-year overall survival (RR=2.087). The diameter of the lymph nodes and involvement of cavernous sinus were the independent factors that affected the 5-year distant metastasis-free survival(RR=1.954 and 2.136,respectively).Conclusion:Periods of cranial nerve involvement and the level of the recovery of cranial nerve involvement were significantly correlated with prognosis. Involvement of cavernous sinus could increase the rate of distant metastasis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the coagulation system status and the pulmonary hemorrhage in children with severe hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)and approach the clinical significance of early detection of coagulation function. Methods By prospective case design method,89 cases with HFMD admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hebei Provincial Children Hospital from July 2010 to July 2012 were enrolled. The children were divided into severe group(46 cases)and critical group(43 cases)according to the severity of disease,and the children in critical group were subdivided into survivor group(26 cases)and non-survivor group (17 cases). Forty-four healthy children with the same age and in the same period were served as healthy control group. The blood of children was collected immediately after admission for determination of blood routine, prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thrombin time(APTT),fibrinogen(Fg),and D-dimer (DD). Results There were no significant differences in PT,TT,APTT and Fg among severe group,critical group and health control group(all P>0.05). The blood platelets count(PLT)in severe group and critical group was significantly lower than that in health control group(×109/L:245±130,237±156 vs. 389±120),while the DD was significantly higher than that in healthy control group(mg/L:0.34±0.67,0.41±0.08 vs. 0.24±0.13),and the DD in critical group was obviously higher than that in severe group(all P<0.05). The mortality rate in critical group was 39.5%,and there were no significant differences in PT,APTT,Fg,TT and PLT between survivor group and non-survivor group(all P>0.05),but the DD in non-survivor group was significantly lower than that in survivor group(mg/L:0.60±0.09 vs. 0.12±0.09,P<0.05). Conclusions In children with severe or critical HFMD, the coagulation factor and blood platelet were in a state of mobilization,mild consumption state with the existence of fibrinolytic inhibition,but without systemic bleeding tendency,therefore it is in a compensatory stage of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC),not the mechanism of pulmonary hemorrhage. The monitor of DD has its clinical significance in evaluations of the disease situation and its prognosis.

Objective To investigate the dynamic changes of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) as well as their correlations with the initial severity of TBI and prognosis.Methods A total of 229 patients with acute TBI admitted from September 2014 to June 2016 were retrospectively studied.Patients were further classified as mild TBI group (GCS 13-15 points),moderate TBI group (GCS 9-12 points) and severe TBI group (GCS 3-8 points) according to Glasgow coma score (GCS).The control group consisted of 30 healthy subjects.The prognosis was evaluated by using Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at 6 months after TBI.The IGF-1 levels were further tested at days 1,3,5,7 and 14 and their correlations with the initial GCS and GOS at 6 months after injury were evaluated.Results (1) The serum IGF-1 levels of mild,moderate and severe TBI group at all time points were significantly lower than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05);the serum IGF-1 levels of severe and moderate TBI groups at all time points after injury were significantly lower than those of the mild TBI group (P ＜0.05);the serum IGF-1 levels of the severe group at days 1,3,5 and 7 d after injury were lower than those of the moderate TBI group (P＜0.05).(2) IGF-1 levels were significantly different between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05) at different time points during the follow-up of 6 months.(3)IGF-1 levels were positively correlated with both GCS and GOS at the acute stage of TBI and sub-acute stage following TBI (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The dynamic changes of serum IGF-1 levels in patients with acute TBI are related to both initial severity of TBI and the neurological outcomes and can be used as a reliable biomarker for early severity assessment and prognostic prediction of TBI.

Objective: To explore the relationship between sedentary behavior with cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function in adolescents, and to provide some references for sedentary behavior prevention and executive function improvement. Methods: From September to December 2022, a total of 5 018 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years were selected by stratified random sampling method in Shanghai, Suzhou, Taiyuan,Wuyuan, Xingyi, and Urumqi to conduct physical activity survey, as well as cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function assessment. Pearson s correlation was used to analyze the relationship between sedentary behavior, cardiorespiratory fitness and executive function. The mediation effect model was fitted by the bootstrap mediation procedure in the PROCESS (version 3.3 ) SPSS macro compiled by Haves, and the mediation effect of adolescents cardiorespiratory fitness in the relationship between static behavior and executive function was examined using model 4 in the PROCESS SPSS macro, where Boosrap method was used to compute the mediation effect of adolescents cardiorespiratory fitness. where the Boosrap method was used to calculate confidence intervals for the mediating effects. Results: Adolescents daily sedentary time was positively correlated with both the refreshing function (1-back and 2-back) and the switch function reaction time ( r =0.05, 0.07, 0.05, P <0.01). Adolescent VO 2max was negatively correlated with both the refreshing function (1-back,2-back) and the switching function ( r =-0.09, -0.14 , -0.11, P <0.01). Adolescents daily sedentary time was negatively correlated with VO 2max ( r =-0.04, P <0.01); cardiorespiratory fitness mediated effect values between sedentary behavior and refreshing function (1-back and 2-back) and converted function were 0.20(95% CI =0.06-0.36), 0.43(95% CI =0.14-0.74) and 0.13 (95% CI =0.04-0.22), with mediating effect shares of 6.87%, 8.33% and 8.59%, respectively. Conclusion The duration of sedentary behavior in adolescents is related to executive function performance, and cardiorespiratory fitness may serve as a mediator to mediate the association between sedentary behavior and executive function in adolescents.

Objective To investigate the risk factors related to progressive intracranial hemorrhage (PIH) in patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) and analyze their clinical significance.Methods PIH was validated by comparing the initial and repeated CT scans. Data including gender,age, injury causes, Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) on admission, time interval from injury to the first CT scan, initial CT scan manifestations, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen (Fg), thrombin time (TT), platelet (PLT) and D-dimer (D-D) in both groups were compared with Logistic regression analysis to observe the risk factors related to PIH. Results The study involved 498 patients with acute TBI, of which 139 (27.91%) patients suffered from PIH. There were 116 patients (83.45%) with PIH who received the initial CT scan within two hours post injury.There was statistical difference in aspects of age, GCS on admission, time interval from injury to the first CT scan, initial CT scan manifestations ( including fractures, subarachnoid hematoma, contusion and onset hematoma), PT, Fg and D-D values in both groups (P ＜0.01 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that CT scans (subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain contusion and primary hematoma) and plasma D-D values were predictors of PIH ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions For patients with the initial CT scan manifestations including subarachnoid hemorrhage, brain contusion, primary hematoma together with D-D value increase within two hours post injury, a continuous CT scan should be performed promptly to detect PIH early.

Trauma registration is an important tool to record the process and timeline in the treatment of trauma patients. The operation of trauma database is of great significance for reducing the mortality of patients, promoting the construction of trauma treatment system, and providing reference for policy-making. Trauma registration system has been established in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and other developed countries for many years. However, the domestic system is still at an initial stage, and there are problems like data deficiencies, data incoherence, no item of complications, no treatment data after discharge and limits of human and financial resources. Therefore, there is room for improvements in terms of personnel fixation, financial support and continuous data monitoring should be further improved. In this study, the authors summarize the traum registration system from aspects of basic situation both at home and abroad, data analysis, clinical value, operation mechanism and challenges so as to provide important data for clinical researches.
