Objective To study the effect of the recombinant Lentivirus containing calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) gene on cells biological activity and differentiation of rat bone marrow stem cells(MSCs).Methods Rat MSCs were isolated and cultured by granulocytes adherent.MSCs were transfected with Lenti-EGFP CGRP(MSCsCGRP+/+ group),While MSCs were transfected with Lenti-EGFP as control group.Cell transfection rate was detected by flow cytometry,protein secretion in the above-mentioned MSCsCGRP+ + supernatant was detected using ELISA method.Cells surface markers weare detected by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry.Trypan blue was used to examin the survive rate,β galactosidase staining was used to examin aging of MSCs transfection,and MTT was used to examine cell vitality.Results At first day after transfecting with Lenti-EGFP-CGRP,fluorescence was not observed by fluorescence microscope,but a small amount of CGRP protein was detected by ELISA in MSCsCGRP+/+ group,at 3 days and 4 days after transfecting with MSCs,strong fluorescence was observed by fluorescence microscope (the cell transfection rates were 77.87％ and 79.58％).The CGRP expression was significantly higher in MSCsCGRP+ + group than in control group [(19.53±0.50) pg/ml vs.(3.12±0.00) pg/ml,t=48.964,P＜0.01].At three days after transfection with MSCs,CD29 and CD90 expression were significantly higher,as compared with control group,CD31 expression was increased in MSCsCGRP+ /+ group.Seven days after transfection with MSCs,CD31 expression was significantly increased in MSCsCGRP+ + group,vWF expression was significantly increased in MSCsCGRP+ + group after MSCs were transfected with LentiEGFP CGRP for 14 days,but a SMA expression was decreased in MSCsCGRP+ +group.At 3 days and 7 days after transfection with Lenti-EGFP-CGRP,the proliferation,survive and aging showed no difference in MSCsCGRP+/+group and in control group (the proliferation of cell:t=0.253,0.290the survive of cell t=-0.307,0.690,all P＞0.05).At 14 days after transfection with Lenti-EGFP-CGRP,aging of cell were decreased in MSCsCGRP+ + group as compared with control group (t=2.446,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions After MSCs are transfected with Lenti EGFP-CGRP,biological characteristics of MSCs has no significant effects,there is still proliferation and differentiation activity.Cell secretion of CGRP can promote the endothelial cell differentiation,and inhibit the differentiation to smooth muscle cells.The CGRP modification of MSCs may play a role in the regulation of angiogenesis.

Objective To explore the expressions of growth factor receptor binding protein 2 -associated bin-ding protein -1 (Gab -1 )and glioma -associated oncogene homologue -1 (Gli -1 )in pediatric medulloblastoma,and to analyze their correlation between clinical and pathological characteristics and prognosis in pediatric medulloblastoma. Methods Elivision immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein in tissue microarray of 40 paraffin embedded pediatric medulloblastoma specimens.Chi -square test or Fisher exact test was used to analyze the correlation between Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein expressions with gender,age,tumor location and pathological subtypes.Follow -up data were handled by using Kaplan -Meier survival analysis and Cox regression anal-ysis.Results Positive expression ratios of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein in 40 pediatric medulloblastoma were 35.0%and 55.0%,respectively.The positive expression rate of Gab -1 in medulloblastoma tissues had no statistical signifi-cance between different genders[male:30.4%(7 /23 cases)vs.female:41 .2%(7 /17 cases)],age[<3 years old:40.0%(6 /15 cases)vs.≥3 years old:32.0%(8 /25 cases)],tumor location[cerebellum:25.0%(5 /20 cases)vs. the fourth ventricle:45.0%(9 /20 cases)]and pathological subtype[classical type:40.7%(11 /27 cases)vs.desmo-plastic /nodular type:50.0%(5 /10 cases)vs.anaplastic /large cell type:66.7%(2 /3 cases)](χ2 =0.496,0.264, 1 .758,3.289,all P >0.05).There were statistical differences of positive expression rate of Gli -1 protein in different age groups[<3 years old:80.0%(12 /15 cases)vs.≥3 years old 40.0%(10 /25 cases)],different pathological sub-types[classical type:40.7%(11 /27 cases)vs.desmoplastic /nodular type:90.0%(9 /10 cases)vs.anaplastic /large cell type:66.7%(2 /3 cases)](χ2 =6.061 ,7.333,all P <0.05 ).There was no statistical difference in positive expression rate of Gli -1 protein between different gender[male:60.9%(14 /23 cases)vs.female:47.1 %(8 /17 cases)]and different tumor location [cerebellum:55.0% (11 /20 cases)vs.the fourth ventricle:55.0% (11 /20 cases)](χ2 =0.753,0.000,all P >0.05).Kaplan -Meier survival analysis showed that the age,the expressions of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein were correlated with prognosis of pediatric medulloblastoma(all P <0.05).Cox regression indicated that the age,pathological subtypes and the expression of Gli -1 protein were independent prognostic indicators in pediatric medulloblastoma(all P <0.05).Conclusion Expression of Gab -1 and Gli -1 protein is significantly correlated with the prognosis of medulloblastoma,and the positive expression is a marker of unfavorable prognosis.

Objective: By analyzing the examination results of physical examination of workers exposed to DMF among 32 factories in some areas of a province, to investigate the working years of dimethylformamide (DMF) poisoning and the impact on the health status of exposed workers, and to explore the targeted intervention strategies. Methods: From February to May 2018, 2, 457 workers exposed to DMF in some areas of Jiangsu Province were selected as survey targets. Cross-sectional survey was conducted to investigate the health status of workers exposed to health, And the health surveillance data, detection data of occupational disease risk factors in the workplace were collected and analyzed, respectively. Results: The positive rate of abnormal liver function and B-ultrasound of males exposed to DMF was significantly higher than that of females. The abnormal rates of liver function, blood pressure and B-ultrasound in workers aged between 60 and 69 were higher in contrast to those in any other age groups. And the differences was statistically significant. In particular, the highest rate of abnormal blood pressure was found in workers exposed 21-30 years (39.2%) , the highest rate of abnormal liver function was found in workers exposed 11-20 years (44.3%) , and the highest rate of abnormal B-ultrasound was found in workers exposed 0-10 years (60.4%) . Conclusion Long-term exposure to dimethylformamide can affect workers’ liver function and blood pressure. Specifically, with the increase of contact age, the degree of chronic damage to liver, cardiovascular and other organs also increases.

AIM:Toinvestigatetheeffectsofcalcitoningene-relatedpeptide(CGRP)onmyocardinexpres-sion and phenotypic switch in vascular smooth muscle cells ( VSMCs) .METHODS:VSMCs were obtained by aortic tissue adherent culture and treated with angiotensin Ⅱ( AngⅡ) , AngⅡ+CGRP or AngⅡ+CGRP +CGRP8-37 .The protein expression of myocardin and the phenotypic proteins of the VSMCs was detected by Western blot .RESULTS:The expres-sion of myocardin in cultured VSMCs showed downregulation along with time expansion .The protein level of myocardin was higher at 48 h and 72 h than that at baseline in the cultured VSMCs (P<0.05).However, the myocardin was lower at 48 h and 72 h than that at baseline after treatment with CGRP in cultured VSMCs (P<0.05).Furthermore, at 48 h in cul-tured VSMCs, the myocardin decreased along with α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) (P<0.05), and osteopontin (OPN) increased (P<0.05) in AngⅡ group compared with control group .After treatment with CGRP, the levels of myocardin andα-SMA become higher ( P <0.05 ) but OPN was lower ( P <0.05 ) in CGRP group than those in AngⅡ group. CGRP8-37 abrogated CGRP-induced increase in myocardin and α-SMA and decrease in OPN in CGRP 8-37 group compared with CGRP group .CONCLUSION: CGRP may regulate the phenotypic switch of the VSMCs and maintain the cells in contractile phenotype through the upregulation of myocardin protein , which may be accomplished by the combination of CGRP and its receptor .

Objective:To investigate the clinical, skeletal muscle pathological, and genetic characteristics of fatal infantile hypertonic myofibrillar myopathy (FIHMM).Methods:The clinical manifestations, laboratory assessments data and gene sequencing results of 10 patients diagnosed with FIHMM in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from February 2017 to April 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of both musculoskeletal system and the brain, and electromyogram (EMG) were performed in 3 cases, while muscle biopsy was performed in 2 cases.Results:Among these 10 cases, 1 case was from Northeast China and 1 case from East China, while the rest 8 cases were from South China.Eight of the 10 patients were male, and the other 2 cases were female.They were all born normal and not related to each other.The age of onset varied from 2 to 12 months.The main clinical manifestations for all the patients were progressive rigidity of the rectus abdominis (8 cases), neck muscles (7 cases), rectus abdominis (2 cases) and intercostal muscles (1 case), resulting in respiratory failure.Mildly to moderately elevated serum creatine kinase level was detected (436-5 804 IU/L) (reference range: 24-229 IU/L). Complex repetitive discharges can be seen in the EMG, without any myotonic potential.Muscle fiber degeneration, necrosis, and vacuolar degeneration were noted in the histopathological examination of the vastus lateralis and rectus abdominis.An abnormal red granular deposit was observed in a portion of the field of the modified Gomory Trichrome staining.Immunohistochemistry showed substantial deposition of desmin.Under the electron microscopy, the sarcomere structure of the muscle fibers was seriously disordered, with the destruction of Z-bands and the presence of granular deposits.The whole-exome sequencing identified the same homozygous variation c. 3G>A, p.Met1? of CRYAB gene in all the patients, but heterozygous variation in their parents. Conclusions:Axial muscles involvement, such as rectus abdominis rigidity, is the main clinical characteristic of FIHMM.c.3G>A, p.Met1? mutation in the CRYAB gene is a hotspot mutation in Chinese children.

Objective:To research the association between exposure to solid fuels for heating and its duration and the risk of respiratory diseases morbidity.Methods:Data from the China Kadoorie Biobank project sited in Pengzhou City, Sichuan Province. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the association between exposure to solid fuels for heating and its duration and the risk of total respiratory diseases and the association between exposure to solid fuels for heating and the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia among respiratory diseases.Results:A total of 46 082 participants aged 30-79 years were enrolled, with 11 634 (25.25%) heating during the winter, of whom 8 885 (19.28%) used clean fuels and 2 749 (5.97%) used solid fuels, of whom 34 448 (74.75%) did not heat. After controlling for multiple confounding factors, Cox proportional hazard regression model was used, which revealed that compared with clean fuels, unheating could reduce the risk of total respiratory disease ( HR=0.81,95% CI:0.77-0.86), COPD ( HR=0.86,95% CI:0.78-0.95) and pneumonia ( HR=0.80,95% CI:0.74-0.86), respectively. Exposure to solid fuels increased the risk of total respiratory disease ( HR=1.10, 95% CI:1.01-1.20) and were not associated with COPD and pneumonia. Compared with no solid fuel exposure, the risk of total respiratory disease (1-19 years: HR=1.23, 95% CI:1.10-1.37; 20-39 years: HR=1.25, 95% CI:1.16-1.35; ≥40 years: HR=1.26, 95% CI:1.15-1.39) and COPD (1-19 years: HR=1.21, 95% CI:1.03-1.42; 20-39 years: HR=1.30, 95% CI:1.16-1.46; ≥40 years: HR=1.35, 95% CI:1.18-1.54) increased with the length of exposure of solid fuels (trend test P<0.001). Solid fuels exposure for 1-19 years and 20-39 years increased the risk of COPD by 23% ( HR=1.23,95% CI:1.02-1.49) and 16% ( HR=1.16, 95% CI:1.00-1.35). Conclusion:Heating solid fuels exposure increases the risk of total respiratory disease, COPD, and pneumonia.
