Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the process of PD, DJ-1 participates in regulating the function of mitochondria,which has an effect on the protection of mitochon-dria. DJ-1 mutations can lead to the decrease of the activity of mitochondrial complex Ⅰ, the decrease of mitochondrial mem-brane potential and then mitochondrial fragmention and mitoph-agy, and then further damage neurons and trigger PD. This re-view presents the role of DJ-1 in regulating the function of the mitochondria in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease(PD).

Objective To study the effect of field long march comprehensive training on freshmen' mental quality and mental health in military university. Methods Mental quality questionnaire for army men (MQQA), symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS), self-rating depression scale (SDS) and trait anxiety inventory (TAI) were carried out on 330 freshmen at various stages on their military training. All data were analyzed by paired-sample t test. Results ①As compared with pre-training, all SCL-90 factor scores except depression factor decreased significantly (P<0.05); compared to barracks military training, recruits revealed a decrease (P<0.05) in all SCL-90 factors except factors on fear, paranoia and mental disorder. ②The scores of SDS and SAS displayed a“V”shape as they decreased after the early rise at the course of military training. After the barracks military training, SAS and SDS scored high (P<0.01);Compared with pre-training, TAI scores dropped significantly (P<0.01) after field long march; compared with post barracks military traning results, SAS, SDS and TAI scores of recruits after field long march decreased significantly (P<0.05). ③After barracks military training and field long march comprehensive training, recuits' mental quality factors scored no significant distinction (P>0.05). Conclusion Filed long march effectively improved mental health of military university recruits and relived their anxiety as well as depression.

Objective The effects of candesartan,an angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor blocker (ARB) were investigated on advanced glycation end-products accumulation and the receptor for AGE (RAGE) expression in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mouse kidneys.MethodsKK/Ta mice(n=72)were random divided into three groups(n=24) and it was treated with candesartan [4 mg/(kg·d)] or vehicle from 6 or 12 to 28 weeks of age.BALB/c mice(n=24) treated with vehicle were used as controls.Body weight,blood pressure,blood glucose,urinary microalbumin,urinary creatinine and serum creatinine were measured every four weeks.At 28 weeks,renal expressions of carboxymethyllysine and RAGE were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and/or competitive RT-PCR.Results KK/Ta mice developed high body weight,high blood glucose,and high urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio in KK/Ta mice at 28 weeks of age,and it was significantly higher than that of BALB/c mice [(427.49±89.37)mg/g vs (9.54±3.25)mg/g,P<0.01 ].Protein and mRNA expressions of RAGE were upregulated in KK/Ta kidneys with increased immunostaining intensities of carboxymethyllysine.Candesartan treatment has markedly reduced urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio [Early treatment group (32.18±9.41)mg/g,Late treatment group (53.20±7.26)mg/g,P<0.01 ].Treatment with candesartan down-regulated the protein and mRNA expressions of RAGE and reduced the accumulation of carboxymethyllysine.There were no significant differences between the two treatment groups (from 6 or 12 weeks).ConclusionsThe results suggest that candesartan,an ARB,reduces advanced glycation end-products accumulation and subsequent albuminuria by down-regulating RAGE expression in type 2 diabetic KK/Ta mouse kidneys.

Objective To investigate the cognitive dificiency characteristics and the neuro electrophysiological mechanism of sleep disordered breathing(SDB) in school-age children.Methods20 cases of SDB children and 20 cases of normal group at 6-8 years old participated in the continue performance test(CPT-AX).The amplitude and latency of N2,P3 of event related potentials(ERPs) were measured and analysed at Fz leads,and the behavioral results were recorded at the same time.ResultsThere were no significant differences between SDB group and normal group in behavioral correct number (36.10±4.69 vs 35.05±3.49),the reaction time ((523.77±68.73)ms vs (496.59±78.65)ms) and false alarm number (1.0 (0.25,3.75) vs 0.5 (0.00,3.00))(all P>0.05).The SDB group showed significant increase in Go-P3 amplitudes compared with the normal group((10.25±6.46)μV vs (6.56±4.63)μV,P<0.05).The Go-P3 latency in SDB group was significantly prolonged than that in the normal group((438.80±59.72)ms vs (406±36.30)ms,P<0.05),and the Nogo-N2 amplitude in SDB group significantly decreased compared with the normal group ((-12.46±4.75)μV vs (-15.50±3.82)μV,P<0.05).ConclusionThe children aged 6 to 8 years old with sleep disordered breathing consume more resources and time to complete the attention process,like a compensatory response.And during the monitoring process there is a resource shortage that results in obvious defect in process of inhibition.

OBJECTIVE To determine the effects of Danshen injectable powder on myocardial remodeling in pressure overload rats and isoproterenol(ISO)injection mice.METHODS SD Rats were subject to abdominal aortic constriction(AAC)surgery to develop pressure overload.Therapeutic effect of Danshen injectable powder was assessed six weeks after AAC surgery. The lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) levels in serum, biometric, echocardiographic parameters, interstitial fibrosis, the expression of DJ-1 and SOD2 were then measured. The myocardial impairment in mice was induced by ISO injection. LDH and CK in serum, biometric, interstitial fibrosis were measured to investigate the cardioprotective effect of Danshen injectable powder. Matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry imaging(MALDI-MSI)was used to detect the changes of 60-1000 Da molecules in mice heart tissue. RESULTS In AAC rats, we observed compensatory hypertrophy and perivascular fibrosis,however cardiac function had not progressed to deterioration.The levels of LDH and CK were decreased significantly in the Danshen injectable powder groups(P<0.05,P<0.05).Danshen injectable powder could alleviate the perivascular collagen deposits but not cardiac hypertrophy in AAC rats. Furthermore,Danshen injectable powder enhanced the expression levels of SOD2 and DJ-1 in cardio-myocytes (P<0.05, P<0.01). In ISO injection mice, the levels of HWI and LDH were decreased signifi-cantly in drug treatment group compared with model group (P<0.01, P<0.01). In the MALDI-MSI of mice heart section,Danshen injectable powder can improve the reduction of energy metabolism-related substances including adenosine, creatine and ADP induced by ISO impairment. CONCLUSION Danshen injectable powder can attenuate perivascular fibrosis and improve the expression of anti-oxidative stress-related proteins SOD2,DJ-1 in the rats with pressure overload-induced left ventricular remodeling.Danshen injectable powder has cardioprotective effect on ISO impairment in mice which is probably related to improvement of energy metabolism.

Objective:
To analyze the relationship between thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor ( TAFI ) and coronary heart disease ( CHD ), and to provide evidence for the prevention of CHD.
Methods:
The patients with CHD in Fushun Central Hospital in Liaoning Province were selected as the case group, the patients without CHD in the same hospital and period were selected as the control group. The demographic information and clinical examination results ( serum TAFI, lipid, glucose, etc. ) were collected to analyze the association between TAFI and CHD by logistic regression models.The multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between TAFI and CHD.
Results:
There were 222 cases, including 100 cases of stable angina, 44 cases of unstable angina and 78 cases of acute myocardial infarction, and 222 controls. The median ages of cases and controls were 62 and 57 years old. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum TAFI>22.88 μg/mL ( P75 of controls ) was associated with the risk of CHD ( OR=1.619, 95%CI: 1.011-2.593 ), unstable angina ( OR=2.917, 95%CI: 1.433-5.939 ) and acute myocardial infarction ( OR=2.626, 95%CI: 1.007-6.847 ).
Conclusion
The high level of TAFI is related to CHD, unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction.
