Objective To study the impact of active control of the trajectory of the center of gravity on the effectiveness of balance training and balance assessment. Methods Two groups of subjects ( group 1 30-45 years old, group 2 45-60 years old ) were evaluated and trained using both active center of gravity trajectory control and static balance methods. Results The percentages of success in controlling the center of gravity were the same when both groups were trained using static balance. Group 1's success percentage was higher than that of group 2 after active center of gravity trajectory training. Their affected lower limbs performed better in wave trace training than after static balance training, and performance improved with increased wave trace amplitude. Conclusions Wave tracing can stimulate the lower limbs of patients with active control force and improve their balance. The wave assessment is superior to static assessment, as it can objectively reflect ability in active center of gravity control and adjust the lower limbs of subjects whose static balance ability is at the same level.

L-amino acid transporter 1 ( LAT1) is a member of L-amino transporter family and an important heterodi?meric amino acid transporter that belongs to subfamily of SLC7. LAT1 mainly mediates trans-membrane transportation of those neutral amino acids that had cyclobenzene or long side chains with high molecular mass such as L-Leu, L-Met and L-Phe as well as some amino acid analogues such as melphalan, L-DOPA and thyroxine in a Na+and ATP-independent diffu?sion. As LAT1 was abnormally overexpressed in various transformed cell lines, it might be related with tumor stage and prog?nosis. It is not only a biomarker that specifically expressed in some tumor cells but also plays an important role in tumor diag?nosis and therapy. Here we demonstrate the structure of LAT1 and its mechanism in transport peculiarity. We also reviewed the development of LAT1 in tumor diagnosis and treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the improvement of tolance and pharmacodynamics of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation compared with irinotecan hydrochloride injection(Campto). The toxic effects of the two formulations on colorectal cancer cells COLO205, HT-29, HCT-8 and SW480 were tested in vitro. COLO205 tumor-bearing mouse model was constructed. The two preparations were given via tail vein injection to investigate the maximum tolerance dose(MTD)of tumor-bearing mice to the two preparations, and then to explore the improvement of anti-tumor efficacy of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation near the MTD. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the inhibitory effect of the two formulations on the four colorectal cancer cells in vitro. The MTD of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation and Campto was 432. 0 and 276. 5 mg/m2 respectively. Both of the two formulations showed significant anti-tumor effect in vivo, and the relative tumor proliferation rate and tumor wet weight inhibition rate of nano-micelle irinotecan formulation at high dose(345. 6 mg/m2)were significantly better than those of Campto at two doses(177. 0 and 221. 2 mg/m2)(P< 0. 05).

Objective:To explore the correlation and mechanism between thalamic network abnormality and cognitive decline in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE).Methods:A total of 53 patients with unilateral TLE were consecutively enrolled through the epilepsy clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from December 2018 to February 2020. During the same recruitment interval, 37 health controls(HC) with matching demographic characteristic were recruited. All subjects were received the Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) test and multimodal MRI scanning. Voxel-based morphometry method was used to study the changes of thalamic gray matter volume in patients with unilateral TLE. The structural covariance network and functional connectivity network based on seed points were used to analyze the changes of thalamic network in TLE patients. In addition, the correlations among abnormal thalamic structure, thalamic network and cognitive function score were analyzed. SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Independent sample t-test and Mann Whitney U test were used for inter group comparison. In order to explore the relationship between thalamus and thalamic network and cognitive performance in TLE patients, thalamic volume and gray matter volume and functional connection value of brain areas with abnormal synergistic changes were extracted and correlated with MoCA score. Results:The total score of MoCA in TLE patients (27.0(25.0, 29.0)) was significantly decreased compared with HC (29.0(28.0, 30.0))( Z=-4.601, P<0.001). Whole brain gray matter volume analysis showed that compared with HCTLE patients showed significant volume reduction in left cerebellum, right temporal pole, right fusiform gyrus, straight gyrus, bilateral middle temporal gyrus, thalamus, medial and paracingulate gyrus (GRF adjusted, voxel-level P<0.001 and cluster-level P<0.05). The thalamus-associated structural covariance network analysis revealed that compared with healthy controls, TLE patients exhibited decreased connectivity in right fusiform gyrus (MNI: x=28.5, y=-15.0, z=-34.5), left insula (MNI: x=-33.0, y=-18.0, z=-1.5), right middle temporal gyrus (MNI: x=55.5, y=-51.0, z=9.0), left complementary motor area (MNI: x=-10.5, y=1.5, z=57.0) and right posterior central gyrus (MNI: x=31.5, y=-33.0, z=51.0) ( P<0.001, cluster > 100). The thalamus-associated functional connectivity network analysis revealed that TLE patients exhibited decreased connectivity in left insula (MNI: x=-38, y=-7, z=-7), left lingual gyrus (MNI: x=-6, y=-81, z=-12), right lingual gyrus (MNI: x=15, y=-105, z=0) and left triangular inferior frontal gyrus (MNI: x=-39, y=36, z=-6) (GRF correction, voxel-level P<0.001 and cluster-level P<0.05). Volume of left insula which had decreased structural connectivity with thalamus were positively correlated with the MoCA score in TLE patients( r=0.279, P=0.043). Volume of left complementary motor area which had decreased structural connectivity with thalamus was positively correalated with the MoCA score and language score in TLE patients( r=0.323, P=0.018; r=0.334, P=0.015). Volume of left lingual gyrus which had decreased functional connectivity with thalamus was negatively correalated with the memory score in TLE patients ( r=-0.331, P=0.016). Conclusion:Thalamic volume, thalamic structural covariant network and functional connection network are changed in TLE patients. The abnormality of thalamic network is associated with cognitive performance in TLE patients, which may be the neural mechanism of thalamus participating in the cognitive impairment of TLE patients.

Tendons and bones are connected at the tendon-bone interface to transmit force and exchange biological information. However, the formation of fibrous scars after injury to the tendon-bone interface makes it difficult to recover the original structure during surgery and thus reduces its performance. Therefore, the healing of the tendon-bone interface is a hotspot in sports medicine. Numerous studies have already demonstrated that a variety of molecules and cells participate in the tendon-bone interface reconstruction process, and yet the specific mechanism remains unclear. At present, a great number of studies have been carried out on treatment methods, but clinical treatment are varied with no unification. Therefore, the authors review the advances in the biology and mechanics of healing mechanisms of tendon-bone interface as well as the main methods promoting tendon-bone interface healing, so as to provide references and new ideas for further researches on tendon-bone interface healing.

Objective To compare the preparation efficiency of mouse pox and mouse hepatitis antibodies between two substrains of BALB/c and Big-BALB/c (B-BALB/c) mice, and to provide a theoretical basis and reference for the selection of laboratory animals in the preparation of monoclonal antibodies inducedin vivo through hybridoma.Methods Individuals weighing more than 5% of the weight of normal animals at 4 weeks of age (the criterion for late selection is more than 10%) were selected from a population of conventionally bred BALB/c mice and bred individually, and a subline of B-BALB/c mice was prepared after 10 generations of selection. A total of 40 BALB/c mice and 40 B-BALB/c mice aged 10 to 11 weeks, half male and half female, were selected and inoculated with the mousepox monoclonal antibody hybridoma cell line G23 or the murine hepatitis monoclonal antibody hybridoma cell line Y15 pre-treated with liquid paraffin, respectively. Mice ascites containing monoclonal antibodies were obtained by in vivo induction. The antibody titer was tested by indirect ELISA. The mice were grouped based on the sub-strains, gender and inoculation type of hybridoma to analyze the ascites production, antibody titer and antibody production, and to evaluate the antibody preparation efficiency of the two BALB/c mouse sub-strains.ResultsAfter 10 generations of breeding, the body weight of 10-week-old male and female B-BALB/c mice increased by 22.3% and 12.8%, respectively, compared with BALB/c mice of the same age. Compared with BALB/c mice, B-BALB/c mice had better tolerance and adaptation to secondary ascites collection. Compared with BALB/c mice, the ascites production and antibody titer during the preparation of antibodies in B-BALB/c mice were significantly increased, especially in the hybridoma cell line G23 vaccination group (both P<0.000 1) . After inoculation with the hybridoma cell lines G23 or Y15, the average antibody production of B-BALB/c mice (14.99×104 U and 33.22×104 U) was higher than that of BALB/c mice (5.33×104 U and 19.31×104 U) (both P<0.01). After inoculation with hybridoma cell line G23, the average antibody production per unit body weight of B-BALB/c mice (0.55×104 U/g) was higher than that of BALB/c mice (0.23×104 U/g) (P<0.000 1). And the antibody production per unit body weight of female B-BALB/c or BALB/c mice was higher than that of male B-BALB/c or BALB/c mice (bothP<0.01).Conclusion B-BALB/c mice can be used as an alternative to BALB/c mice in the in vivo induction of monoclonal antibody preparation, which can achieve the purpose of reducing the number of experimental animals used, lowering the labor cost, and improving the efficiency of antibody preparation.
