Objective To observe long-term follow-up results of in-stent restenosis by digital subtraction angiography(DSA) method after angioplasty and stenting with the Gateway-Wingspan stenting system in middle cerebral artery(MCA).Methods Consecutive patients with ischemic stroke and Wingspan stent placement were enrolled into our study.The proportion of in-stent restenosis and ischemic stroke associated with restenosis were evaluated by DSA after 6 and 12 months of stent placement.Results 30 patients with stenosis/occlusion of MCA underwent Wingspan Stent successfully.All of the patients finished follow-up except two patients(6.7% ) who died in the first three months after stenting.At the sixth months follow-up,in-stent restenosis was observed in 7 patients( 23.3% ) with average (69.0 ± 9.8 )% in-stent restenosis degree.However,no additional in-stent restenosis was found at the twelfth month,two patients among the 7 with in-tent restenosis were suffered with artery occlusion in stent.Conclusion In-stent restenosis after Wingspan stenting in middle cerebral artery was more common during the first six months,and 85.7% with ischemic stroke.It was worthy of paying attention to prevent in-stent restenosis at the first six months after stenting.

Objective To study the expression of plasma membrane Ca2 + -ATPase isoforms 1 -4 and the splice variants at sites A and C in the neonatal rat vestibular organ.Methods Ten rats at postnatal 2 days (P2 ) were decapitated and their vestibular organs (macula utriculi and macula sacculi)were isolated.The total proteins of the vestibular organs were extracted.The expression of PMCA1-4 splice variants at sites A and C was detected by RT-PCR.Results The splice variants of PMCA1-4 at sites A and C in macula utriculi and macula sacculi of neo-natal rat vestibular organs were PMCA1x/b,PMCA2w/(a,b),PMCA3z/(a,b,c)and PMCA4 (x,z)/b.Conclusion The splice variants at sites A and C among PMCA1,PMCA2,PMCA3 and PMCA4 were different in the vestibu-lar organs of neonatal rats,which could be explained that macula utriculi and macula sacculi had different require-ments of Ca2 + turning for these PMCA isoforms.

Objective To study the expression of plasma membrane Ca2+-ATPase isoforms 1~3 (PMCA 1~3 )in the basilar membrane (BM)of the neonatal rat cochlea by Western blot.The PMCA2 content in single BM of the neonatal rat was also examined.Methods Four rats at postnatal 2 days (P2)and 8 days (P8)were respective-ly decapitated and their BMs were isolated.The total proteins of BMs were extracted.The 20μg total proteins were respectively loaded to the gel.The expression of PMCA1-3 was detected by Western blot.Likewise,3μg total proteins from P2 and P8 rat BM were loaded.The expression of PMCA2 was detected by Western blot.Four rats at P8 were decapitated and their BM was isolated.The 5μg,10μg and 20μg total proteins of P8 rat BM were added to the gel and 100 ng,400 ng and 800 ng bovine serum albumin (BSA)were also loaded as reference.After electro-phoresis,the gel was separated into two parts.One part was used for SYPRO staining and the other part was used for PMCA2 detection by Western blot.Results In the 20μg BM total proteins of P2 and P8 rats,the expression of PMCA1 was weak (0.126±0.024,0.131±0.012,respectively),PMCA2 was strong (4.16±0.528,4.25±0.319, respectively),and PMCA3 was barely expressed (0 ).There was a statistical difference among PMCA1 ,PMCA2 and PMCA3(P<0.05).In the 3μg BM total proteins of P2 and P8 rats,the expression of PMCA2 in P8 (4.571± 0.336)was higher than P2 (3.622±0.285).There was a statistical difference(P<0.05).The PMCA2 content in the BM of a P8 rat was about 2 .5 ng.Conclusion There was a different-level expression of PMCA1~3 in the neonatal rat BM with highest expression of PMCA2 ,which could be explained that cochlear hair cells had different requirements of Ca2+ turning for these PMCA isoforms.

Colorectal cancer ranks third in global incidence and is the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Doxorubicin, an anthracycline chemotherapeutic drug, is integral to current cancer treatment protocols. However, toxicity and resistance to doxorubicin poses a significant challenge to effective therapy. Panobinostat has emerged as a critical agent in colorectal cancer treatment due to its potential to overcome doxorubicin resistance and enhance the efficacy of existing therapeutic protocols. This study aimed to evaluate the capability of panobinostat to surmount doxorubicin toxicity and resistance in colorectal cancer. Specifically, we assessed the efficacy of panobinostat in enhancing the therapeutic response to doxorubicin in colorectal cancer cells and explored the potential synergistic effects of their combined treatment. Our results demonstrate that the combination treatment significantly reduces cell viability and colony-forming ability in colorectal cancer cells compared to individual treatments. The combination induces significant apoptosis, as evidenced by increased levels of cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-9, while also resulting in a greater reduction in p-Akt/p-GSK-3β/mTOR expression, along with substantial decreases in c-Myc and SREBP-1 levels, compared to monotherapies. Consistent with the in vitro experimental results, the combination treatment significantly inhibited tumor formation in colorectal cancer xenograft nude mice compared to the groups treated with either agent alone. In conclusion, our research suggests that the panobinostat effectively enhances the effect of doxorubicin and combination of two drugs significantly reduced colorectal cancer tumor growth by targeting the Akt/ GSK-3β/mTOR signaling pathway, indicating a synergistic therapeutic potential of these two drugs in colorectal cancer treatment.

Rehabilitation physician training is an important part of the development of rehabilitation medicine.Rehabilitation physician education in Taiwan has a complete and standardized training system,and rehabilitation physician training in mainland China is mainly achieved through standardized residency training.This article compares the differences in training processes for rehabilitation physicians in education in medical colleges and universities,residency training,and specialist training between Taiwan and mainland China.The results show that rehabilitation physician training in Taiwan is rigorous and orderly,with reasonable contents,clear objectives,strong specialty,and standardized assessment,while in mainland China,rehabilitation physicians in mainland China have insufficient training time,and there is a lack of detailed training plan and unified assessment standards.Rehabilitation physician training in mainland China needs to learn from advanced experience,further reform the training process,improve the operability of the overall education program,and perfect the training system of rehabilitation physicians.
