Nowadays the pathogenesis of early-onset depression is still uncertain. Only SSRIs are currently approved for clinical use as antidepressants in children and adolescents, indicating that 5-HT is the most important neurotransmitter involved in the dis-ease. Current studies with regard to central 5-HTergic system in early-onset depression mainly focus on 5-HT synthesis deficien-cy, 5-HT transportation dysregulation, as well as the earlier mat-uration of 5-HT system than norepinephrine system. 5-HT precur-sor tryptophan malabsorption and dysregulation of 5-HT synthesis can contribute to 5-HT deficiency. Moreover, the 5-HTTLPR low-expressing genotypes may increase the risk of early-onset de-pression. It is necessary to make preclinical and clinical studies more widely and deeply about the effect of central 5-HTergic sys-tem in early-onset depression in future.

Objective To investigate the treatment of acute obstructive colorectal cancer.Methods The clinical data of 26 cases with acute obstructive colorectal cancer were analysed retrospectively and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results Radical right hemicolectomy was performed in 9 patients with obstructive right colonic cancer.Among 17 patients with obstructive left colorectal cancer,one-stage radical resection was perfomed in 12 cases,including one-stage anastomosis in 4 cases and Hartmann's operation in 8 cases.Palliative colostomy was performed in 3 cases.Right hemicolectomy and sigmoid colon loop colostomy was performed in 1 case of rectum cancer with ascending colon strangulation.One case refused surgery.Two cases died of MODS and 1 case with inflammatory ileus recovering from conservative treatment after operation.In the course of disease,septic shock and MODS happened in 3 cases,lung infection in 5 cases,heart disease in 2 cases and Hypoalbuminemia in 16 cases.Conclusions One-stage radical colectomy and anastomosis should be performed in patients with obstructive right colonic cancer.In order to reduce toxin absorption and prevent the deterioration of disease,Bowel decompression and removal of inflammatory exudate should be performed in patients with obstructive left colorectal cancer according to the damage control theory.Then effective and safe operation should be chosen in accordance with patients' status.Anti-infection and nutrition support treatment must be strengthened after operation.

AIM:To construct a prokaryotic expression system of staphylococcal enterotoxin A(SEA)gene and determine the effects of the recombinant expression product rSEA in promoting lymphocyte proliferation and inhibiting tumor cell growth.METHODS:PCR was used to amplify entire SEA gene of S.aureus strain ATCC13565.The cloned SEA gene was sequenced after T-A cloning.SDS-PAGE was applied to measure the output of rSEA expressed by pET32a-SEA-E.coli BL21DE3.Ni-NTA affinity chromatography was performed to extract rSEA.Cytotoxicity of rSEA to Vero cells was detected using TCID_ 50 titration method and then the value of TCIC_ 50 was determined.MTT colorimetry was established to examine the effects of rSEA at different dosages on proliferation of mouse splenocytes and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)as well as on growth of HepG2 cells and HeLa cells in vitro.RESULTS:In comparison with the published corresponding sequences,similarities of the nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences of the cloned SEA gene were 100%.The output of rSEA was approximate 25% of the total bacterial proteins.rSEA had a cytotoxicity with TCIC_ 50 of 3.14 ?g to Vero cells.1.0-20.0 mg/L rSEA showed the significant effects of promoting proliferation of mouse splenocytes and human PBMC(P

Objective To investigate the correhtion between cognitive impairment and cerebral atherosclerosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Acute ischemic stroke patients without cognitive impairment were recruited before symptom onset.The Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) was used to evaluate the cognitive function.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to identify the infarct locations and sides.Magnetic resonance angiography,CT angiography and digital subtraction angiography were used to identify atherosclerotic arteries.Resul~ A total of 101 patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled,including 75 (74.3％) with cognitive impairment.The proportions of age (54.54 ± 12.59 years vs.64.43 ± 10.37 years;t =-3.960,P ＜0.001),years of education ≤6 years (50.7％ vs.11.5％;x2 =12.257,P ＜ 0.001),and cerebral atherosclerosis (89.3％ vs.50.0％;x2 =18.137,P ＜0.001) of the cognitive impairment group were significantly higher than those of the normal cognitive function group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cerebral atherosclerosis was an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in patients with acute ischemic stroke (odds ratio 1.720,95％ confidence interval 1.005-2.942;P=0.048).MoCA score was negatively correlated with the offending vessels (r=-0.365,P＜ 0.001) and the most severe vessels of atherosclerotic degree (r=-0.243,P =0.014).Conclusions Most patients with acute ischemic stroke had cognitive impairment in the early stage after onset,and the MoCA scores was negatively correlated with the degree of cerebral atherosclerosis.Cerebral atherosclerosis was an independent risk factor for cognitive impairment in patientswith acute ischemic stroke.

Objective To review the efficacy of bisphosphonates in reducing skeletal events in patients with multiple myeloma. Methods Two hundred and five patients with newly diagnosed MM were enrolled in this retrospective study,with bisphosphonates or not.Skeletal-related events,therapeutic reaction of myeloma bone disease and patient survival were analyzed. Results The occurrence of skeletal-related events (SRE) per patient year (P＜0.01) and the time to first SRE (P＜0.05)were significantly lower in the reatment group than in the untreated group. After 6 cycles of treatment, a significant higher percentage of effective and marked effect patients were observed through X ray in the treatment group (80.0 ％) compared to the untreated group (48.7 ％), P＜0.001. There was no overall significant difference in the level of serum calcium between the two groups (P=0.278). After 6 cycles of treatment, the patients who received bisphosphonates had significant decreases in bone pain and lower ECOG score (ECOG≤2) compared to the untreated group (P＜0.05). Bisphosphonates were tolerated well, and the common adverse reaction including gastrointestinal reaction (3 cases,3.3 ％),fever (lcase,1.1％) and skin rash (2 cases,2.2 ％).There was no significant difference in overall survival between the two treatment groups,(P=0.580).Conclusion Infusions of Bisphosphonates could reduce the occurrence of skeletal- related events (SRE), prolong the time to first SRE and improve the quality of life of patients with multiple myeloma. Bisphosphonates could not prolong survival time of myeloma patients.

ObjectiveTocomparethedifferencesoftwostocksofguineapigs,thealbinoguineapigsandpigment guinea pigs , in establishing dyslipidemic model , to evaluate their lipid-lowering action , and to compare their properties for development of hyperlipidemia .Methods Two stocks of the 5-week-old guinea pigs were randomly divided into two groups, normal group (NC) and model group (Model).For the NC group, 12 guinea pigs were fed with normal chew .For the model group , after fed with high-fat diet for four weeks , 24 male guinea pigs were randomly grouped and treated with vehicle (VC group) and pitavastatin (Pit group) calcium, respectively, by gavage as well as received high-fat diet.Before and after modeling and pitavastatin treatment , blood samples were collected and subjected to analysis of plasma TC , TG, HDL-C and LDL-C, respectively .Results In the normal group , the blood lipid levels of albino guinea pigs were more stable than that of the pigmented pigs with the increase of age .After fed with high-fat diet , the plasma lipid levels of TC , TG and LDL-C were significantly increased in the two strains of guinea pigs , while HDL-C showed a decrease to varying degrees .Interestingly , the lipid level in the albino guinea pigs was significantly higher than that of pigment guinea pigs . And also, after drug administration for four weeks , pitavastatin treatment significantly decreased the elevated lipid level of TC, TG and LDL-C in the albino guinea pigs compared with that in the pigment guinea pigs .Conclusions The albino guinea pigs and pigment guinea pigs demonstrate certain differences in establishing dyslipidemic model and evaluating lipid -lowering pharmacodynamics .However , compared with the pigment guinea pigs , the albino guinea pigs have obvious superiority because of easy establishment of hyperlipidemia model and are more sensitive to lipid -lowering drugs .
