Objective To establish the model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with selective motor neuron disorder by organotypic spinal cord cultures, and analyze the role of astrocyte in the pathagenisis of ALS.Methods Organotypic spinal cord cultures were prepared using lumbar spinal cord slices from 8-day-old SD rat pups. The threohydroxyaspartate (THA) was applied into culture medium to establish ALS organotypic spinal cord cultures model. Motor neurons survival was evaluated by monoclonal SMI-32 immunohistochemical staining and glial fibrillary acidic protein staining to show astrocyte survival.Results Compared with the control group, there was significantly astrogliosis in the anterior horn and surrounding white matter in THA 100 μmol/L group, and the level of gliosis was increased followed the elongation of THA interference time. With the increasing of the number of astrocyte, the morphology of astrocyte was changed.Conclusion There is significantly astrogliosis in the anterior horn and the time of astrogliosis is markedly earlier than the time of motor neuron loss in the ALS model intervented with THA.

Objective To observe the expression of cysteine rich-protein 61 (Cyr61) on renal tubular cells,to explore its effects against hypoxic induced kidney injury and the underlying mechanisms.Methods A stably Cyr61 expressed tubular cell line Cyr61-HK2 was established based on HK2 cells and recombinant Cyr61-lentivirus.BrdU incorporation assay was used for cell proliferation.The apoptosis of cells was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V and propidiumiodide staining.Western bloting was used to detect the protein expression of BAD,Akt and ERK.Results (1) Cyr61-HK2 cells displayed more proliferation ability than HK2 cells.(2) Under hypoxia condition,the apoptosis of both HK2 and Cyr61-HK2 cells increased,but the apoptosis of Cyr61-HK2 cells was lesser than HK2 cells.(3) The expression of Cyr61 led to the phosphorylation of BAD,Akt and ERK on 0 h,0.5 h,1 h (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The expression of Cyr61 can promote cell proliferation and dampen cell apoptosis induced by hypoxia,which may be involved in the Akt/ERK signal pathway.

Objective To explore the clinical feature,diagnosis,therapy and prognosis of primary cardiac lymphoma.Methods One case of primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the heart was studied.The clinical feature,pathogenesis,diagnosis,therapy and prognosis of primary cardiac lymphoma were further investigated through literatures review.Results Patient,female,64 years old,mainly clinical feature with the activities of chest tightness,gas tight,echocardiogram showed right atrial lesions,ECG of sick sinus syndrome.Right atrial tumor excision by pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of diffuse large B cell lymphoma(DLBCL),treated with R-CHOP (rituximab,cyclophosphamide,vinorelbine,pirarubicin,prednisone) chemotherapy,cardiac pacemaker implantation,the patient had received 3 cycles of chemotherapy currently,and was at the intermission of chemotherapy.Conclusion Primary cardiac lymphoma is extremely rare.Its pathogenesis remained to be unclear.With non-specific clinical manifestations,the diagnosis is mainly confirmed by histopathological and immunohistochemical staining.It is sensitive to chemotherapy generally,but the special location of the tumor leads to poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the changes of bone mineral density (BMD) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients in Changsha,and take intervention measures to prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis and fracture.Methods A total of 278 HIV-infected patients and 154 cases of healthy adults from March 2011 to May 2015 were selected.Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to detect BMD,T-score and Z-score of all the research objects,including the whole body,lumbar spine (L2～4),and left hip joint.The height and weight were measured at the same time.Results The HIV infection group had an average age of (31.53 ± 8.56) years old,and the healthy control group was (34.45 ± 8.22) years old.Height between two groups had no significant difference.The average weight of HIV infection group was 6.93 kg [95％ CI,-9.01,-4.97;P ＜0.001] lighter than that in the normal control group.BMD,T-score and Z-score of HIV infection group were significantly lower than those in norrmal control group (P ＜ 0.001).The occurrence rate of osteopenia (Z ≤-1.0)and osteoporosis (Z ≤-2.0)in HIV infection group were correspondingly 43.53％ ～ 54.68％ and 9.71％ ～23.74％,which is about 4 times of that in the healthy control group (14.28％ ～ 20.13％,0.65％ ～ 5.84％).Conclusions The average body weight of HIV-infected patients was significantly lower than that of normal control group,and the incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis in HIV-infected group was significantly higher than that in normal control group.

Object To investigate the effect of total flavone in Sanguis Draconis (tFSD) on platelet aggregation, thrombus formation and myocardial ischemia in rat and rabbit. Methods Adopting the experimental models including in vitro platelet aggregation in rat and rabbit, in vivo thrombus formation in rat internal vein, and acute myocardial ischemia by ligating the coronary artery. Results In vitro, tFSD could, to a certain degree, inhibit the platelet aggregation induced by ADP and PAF. Moreover, tFSD could markedly restrain artificial thrombus formation in rat internal vein and the area of acute myocardial ischemia after ligating the coronary artery. Conclusion tFSD has the function of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, anti thrombosis, together with platelet aggregation inhibition.

Objective:To explore and analyze the points-selection rules in acupuncture treatment of mammary gland hyperplasia (MGH) by data mining and statistical method. Methods:Clinical literatures about the treatment of MGH with acupuncture published in the recent 16 years were retrieved from Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CJFD) and established into a database by Excel. The SPSS 20 version software and Clementine 12.0 version software were adopted to analyze the frequency and association rules of points-selection in the treatment of MGH with acupuncture. Results:The top 3 points used most frequently in acupuncture treatment of MGH were Danzhong (CV 17), Taichong (LR 3) and Zusanli (ST 36); points from the Stomach Meridian of Foot Yangming and Liver Meridian of Foot Jueyin were most commonly used; the commonly selected points were predominantly distributed in thoracic and abdominal regions and lower limbs; emphasis on the combination use of local and distal points; of the specific points, the five Shu-Transmitting points were mostly used; association analysis showed that the associations among Taichong (LR 3), Danzhong (CV 17) and Zusanli (ST 36) were the most significant. Conclusion: The data mining results substantially accord with the general rules of acupuncture-moxibustion theories in traditional Chinese medicine, able to reflect the points-selection principles and features in acupuncture treatment of MGH and provide evidence for the points selection in the treatment of MGH in acupuncture clinic.

Depressive disorder seriously affects people's physical and mental health.Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for depression,yet,its mechanism is unclear.Therefore,acupuncture's action mechanism in intervening depression was summarized from several perspectives,including morphology and ultrastructure of neurons in depression-related brain areas,function and structure of glial cells,brain functional and structural connectivity,and neuroelectrophysiology.It's discovered that acupuncture can repair the morphological and ultrastructural damage of neurons in the hippocampus and prefrontal lobe,mitigate the functional and structural injuries of glial cells in the hippocampus and prefrontal lobe,strengthen functional connectivity and heal structural connection,and promote neuroelectrophysiological activities,which possibly are the principal mechanisms of how acupuncture works in intervening depressive disorder.
