BACKGROUND: It is easy to established human solid tumor nude mouse model, but for leukemia which is difficult. We inhibited immune system further by radioactive ray or CTX, to decrease cost and increase the stability.OBJECTIVE: To establish a human acute myeloblastic leukemia M2 Kasumi-1 models containing AML/ETO positive genes in BALB/c nude mouse. METHODS: Nude mice were randomly divided into three groups: CTX group was injected CTX 2 mg/day in abdominal cavity for two days, and injected 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells in caudal vein next day; irradiation group was exposed to total body irradiation, and injected 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells in caudal vein that day; untreated group was inoculated with 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells by caudal vein injection. Three additional mice were considered as the normal control group. The blood smearing and bone morrow slides were detected, immunity type of BMC was detected using flow cytometry, loading of leukemic cellular tumor was detected using RT-PCR, and positive ratio of AML/ETO fusion gene was detected using FISH method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After inoculated into untreated nude mice by caudal vein injection for 14 days, the ratio of leukemia cell in blood smearing was 3.5%, and over 40% in bone marrow slides, which was equal to the results of FISH and FCM. The increasing of tumor loading was time-dependent. For irradiation group and CTX treated group, the tumor loading was higher that untreated group, and the cells also survived more than 60 days. AML/ETO band was observed by RT-PCR in all experimental groups, for normal mice it was negative. The results indicated that the systemic disseminated leukemia model was established successfully by caudal vein injection 8×10~5/mouse Kasumi-1 cells in the three experimental groups.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental syndrome characterized by obvious drawbacks in sociality and communication. It has crucial significance to exactly discern the individuals with ASD and typical controls (TC). Previous imaging studies on ASD/TC identification have made remarkable progress in the exploration of objective as well as crucial biomarkers associated with ASD. However, glaring deficiency is manifested by the investigation on solely homogeneous and small datasets. Thus, we attempted to unveil some replicable and robust neural patterns of autism using a heterogeneous multi-site brain imaging dataset from ABIDE (Autism Brain Imaging Data Exchange). Experiments were carried out with an attention mechanism based on Extra-Trees algorithm, taking the study object of brain connectivity measured with the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data of CC200 atlas. With cross-validation strategy, our proposed method resulted in a mean classification accuracy of 72.2% (sensitivity=68.6%, specificity=75.4%). It raised the precision of ASD prediction by about 2% and specificity by 3.2% in comparison with the most competitive reported effort. Connectivity analysis on the optimal model highlighted informative regions strongly involved in the social cognition as well as interaction, and manifested lower correlation between the anterior and posterior default mode network (DMN) in autistic individuals than controls. This observation is concordant with previous studies, which enables our proposed method to effectively identify the individuals with risk of ASD.

Objective:To investigate the molecular mechanism of the disease based on the clinical characterization and genetic mutation analysis in a family with intellectual disability.Methods:The proband with intellectual disability was diagnosed at Luohe Central Hospital in December 2019. Peripheral blood samples were collected from four family members. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was used to screen the pathological mutations. Then the PCR and Sanger sequencing were used to verify the selected mutations and combine the relevant database to analyze variation loci.Results:We infer that the ARX c.1162 A>G was co-segregated with the phenotype of the family based on the results of WES. The results of sanger sequencing and WES are consistent. The mother of the proband is the carrier of the mutation. There is no mutation frequency reported in the healthy population. The mutation of the ARX c.1162A>G is harmful inferred by a variety of bioinformatics software. Combined with the phenotypic analysis of OMIM database, we infer the phenotype caused by the mutation is consistent with the patients in the family.Conclusion:The mutation of the ARX c.1162 A>G may be the cause of the intellectual disability in the family affected. And the variant has not been reported in China.

Objective:To explore the expression level of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase-1 (IRAK1) in the peripheral blood of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and analyze its relevance between disease activity and CD4 + T cell subsets. Methods:① The concentration of IRAK1 in the peripheral blood of 77 RA patients and 24 healthy controls were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ② The demo-graphic and clinical data of the RA group including disease activity score with 28 joints (DAS28), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), CD4 + T cell subsets in peripheral blood. ③Independent sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test were used to compare the differences between the two groups. Spearman rank correlation test and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the correlation between IRAK1 expression level and clinical data. Results:① The IRAK1 level of the peripheral blood of RA patients was significantly higher than in the normal controls ( P<0.001). ② Compared to normal controls, the peripheral blood of the RA group, the absolute numbers and proportion of regulatory T (Treg) cells were decreased ( P<0.001), the absolute numbers and proportion of helper T (Th) 17 and the ratio of Th17/Treg were increased. Moreover, the ratio of Th17/Treg was also increased. ③ With the increase of disease activity in RA patients, the expression of IRAK1 also increased. The expression of IRAK1 in the peripheral blood of RA group was positively correlated with ESR, number of joints involved and DAS28, and had statistically significant difference between the two groups ( r=0.23, P<0.05; r=0.24, P<0.05; r=0.27, P<0.05). Meanwhile, it was sign-ificantly negatively correlated with the percentage of Treg ( r=-0.27, P<0.05), and was significantly positively correlated with the ratio of Th17/Treg ( r=0.23, P<0.05) . However, there was no significant correlation with the ratio of Th1/Th2( P>0.05). Furthermore, multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the expression of IRAK1 in the peripheral blood of RA group was positively correlated with ESR and the number of joints involved ( β=0.34, P=0.019; β=0.27, P=0.004), and it was inversely correlated with percentage of Treg ( β=-0.23, P=0.047, R2=0.219). Conclusion:IRAK1 expression in the peripheral blood of RA patients is up-regulated and correlated with disease activity. The decrease of Treg and the imbalance of Th17/Treg caused by high expression of IRAK1 may be one of the main factors for the occurrence and development of RA. Interfering the expression of IRAK1 may be a potential new target for RA treatment.

Objective:To explore the application of microvascular flow imaging (MVFI) combined with high-frequency ultrasonography in children with haemophilic arthropathy A (HAA).Methods:Retrospective study.A total of 82 children diagnosed with HAA in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from October 2018 to October 2020 were recruited.The elbow, knee and ankle joints of each child were examined by high-frequency ultrasonography.The numbers of thickened synovial joints were recorded.Blood flow signals of the thickening of synovial joints was checked by the MVFI and power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS), respectively.Color flow signals were graded by the semi-quantitative scoring systems.The chi- square test and independent multi-group ordinal multi-category rank-sum test were used to compare the differences of MVFI and PDUS in the display of thickened synovial blood flow. Results:A total of 254 joints were involved in 82 children with HAA, including synovial hypertrophy in 188 joints, hydrops articuli in 146 joints, fibrotic septa in 66 joints, cartilage damage in 63 joints, haemosider indeposition in 45 joints, bone erosion in 25 joints, osteophytes in 15 joints and bone remodeling in 8 joints.Grade Ⅱ synovial thickened joints were the most common.The proportion of blood flow signals detected by PDUS in thickened synovial membranes was significantly higher than that detected MVFI (52.66% vs.70.21%, χ2=12.225, P<0.05). Numbers of grade 0 and Ⅰ joints with thickened synovial membranes detected by MVFI were less than those of PDUS, while the opposite result was obtained in detecting grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ joints ( H=21.158, P<0.05). Compared with PDUS, MVFI more sensitively visualized the blood flow of the thickened synovial membrane. Conclusions:MVFI can more prominently detect the thickened synovial blood flow in children with HAA.A combined application of MVFI and high-frequency ultrasonography contributes to the evaluation of children with HAA.
