OBJECTIVETo establish a model of hypoxic postconditioning of dermal microvascular endothelial cells.
METHODSDuring reoxygenation after hypoxia, cells received three times of hypoxic/ reoxygenation alternate treatment for a certain time. The cells were seeded on 6-well plates, with one plate for one group. They were divided into 6 groups as group 1 ( Control), group 2 (8h hypoxia + 24h reoxygenation), group 3 (8h hypoxia + 2 min x 3 times post-hypoxia treatment) , group 4 (8h hypoxia + 5 min x 3 times post-hypoxia treatment), group 5 (8h hypoxia + 10 min x 3 times post-hypoxia treatment), 6 group (8h hypoxia + 20 min x 3 times post-hypoxia treatment). Each group underwent 8 h hypoxia + 24 h hypoxia Buffer and reoxygenation. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was detected during the process. Apoptosis rate was calculated by staining Tunel method. Bcl-2, Bax and activated caspase-3 protein were detected by Western Blot.
RESULTSIn the continuous hypoxia process, the LDH was (1563 ± 83.35) IU/L at 8h and (582.85 ± 58.25 ) IU/L at 0h, showing a statistical difference (P = 0.0001). Western blotting results showed that the expression of Bax/Bcl-2 in group 2 was 0.38 ± 0.02, showing a significant difference when compared with that in group 3 (0.23 ± 0.01) and group 4 (0.22 ± 0.02) (P = 0.012, P = 0.005), while not when compared with that in group 5 (0.33 ± 0.02) and 6 groups (0.34 ± 0.01) P > 0.05). The ratio of Activated caspase-3/caspase-3 in group 2 (6.30 ± 1.50) was significantly higher than that in group 3 (2.17 ± 0.26) and group 4 (2.63 ± 0.31) (P = 0.008, P = 0.019); while not in group 5 (4.36 ± 0.29) and group 6 (4.97 ± 0.51) (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe model of hypoxic postconditioning of human dermal microvascular endothelial cells is successfully established.

In order to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of the non-insulin antidiabetes medications as an adjunct treatment in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), we conducted systematic searches in MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomized controlled trials published between the date of inception and March 2020 to produce a systematic review and meta-analysis. Overall, 57 studies were included. Compared with placebo, antidiabetes agents in adjunct to insulin treatment resulted in significant reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (weighted mean difference [WMD], –0.30%; 95% confidence interval [CI], –0.34 to –0.25%; P<0.01) and body weight (WMD, –2.15 kg; 95% CI, –2.77 to –1.53 kg; P<0.01), and required a significantly lower dosage of insulin (WMD, –5.17 unit/day; 95% CI, –6.77 to –3.57 unit/day; P<0.01). Compared with placebo, antidiabetes agents in adjunct to insulin treatment increased the risk of hypoglycemia (relative risk [RR], 1.04; 95% CI, 1.01 to 1.08; P=0.02) and gastrointestinal side effects (RR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.61 to 2.46; P<0.01) in patients with T1DM. Compared with placebo, the use of non-insulin antidiabetes agents in addition to insulin could lead to glycemic improvement, weight control and lower insulin dosage, while they might be associated with increased risks of hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal side effects in patients with T1DM.

Objective:To explore the correlation of serum neurogenic exosome MicroRNA-211-5p(miR-211-5p)levels and brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)levels with cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson's disease and their diagnostic value.Methods:A total of 80 patients with Parkinson's disease(PD)admitted to the Second Hospital of Jiaxing City from January 2017 to April 2018 were enrolled.According to the Montreal cognitive assessment scale, patients were divided into the cognitive impairment group(n=36)and the non-cognitive impairment group(n=44). Meanwhile, 30 healthy people who took health check-ups during the same period were selected as the control group.Exosomes were extracted from peripheral blood of subjects by using the ExoQuick kit, and the neurogenic exosomes were separated by an L1 cell adhesion molecule(L1CAM)biotinylated antibody.BDNF levels in the exosomes were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), and the expression level of miR-211-5p in the exosome was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(RT-QPCR).Results:There was a correlation between BDNF and miR-211-5p( r=-0.805, P<0.001)in serum neurogenic exosomes( r=-0.805, P<0.001). BDNF was correlated with miR-211-5p in both the PD and control groups( r=-0.785 and-0.867, P=0.002 and 0.001). The miR-211-5p level was higher and the BDNF level was lower in the PD group than in the control group(0.30±0.08 vs. 0.17±0.04, 0.55±0.06 mg/L vs. 0.75±0.06 mg/L, t=7.125 and 6.368, P=0.000 and 0.000). The BDNF level was lower(0.45±0.07 mg/L vs.0.63±0.07 6.368 and 0.75±0.08 mg/L, t=8.999 and 7.608, P=0.000 and 0.000)and the MiR-211-5p level was higher(0.36±0.07 vs. 0.24±0.05 and 0.17±0.04, t=10.923 and 7.520, P=0.000 and 0.000)in the cognitive impairment group than in the non-cognitive impairment and control groups.The receiver-operating characteristics(ROC)curve showed that the area under the curve of miR-211-5p as a measure for cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease was 0.860(95% CI: 0.770-0.950)with a threshold of 0.32.The area under the curve of BDNF as a measure for cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease was 0.891(95% CI: 0.822-0.961)with a threshold of 0.67.BDNF seemed to be the target gene of miR-211-5p, since the latter could inhibit BDNF expression by reducing BDNF mRNA levels. Conclusions:Human serum neurogenic exosome miR-211-5p is highly expressed in PD patients with cognitive impairment and has the potential to be used as one of diagnostic parameters for cognitive impairment in PD patients.The high expression of serum neurogenic exosome miR-211-5p may be related to the inhibition of BDNF by reducing its mRNA levels.
