Objective To investigate the role of astroglial glutamate-glutamine shuttle in the development of neuropathic pain (NP) in rats. Methods Forty-eight adult male SD rats weighing 200-230 g were randomly divided into 8 groups (n =6 each): Ⅰ control group (group C);Ⅱ sham operation group (group S);group ⅢNP;Ⅳ-Ⅶ 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.10 mmol/L methionine sulfoximine (MSO, an inhibitor of glutamine synthetase (GS)) group (group M1-4 );Ⅷ MSO + glutaminate group (group MG). In group C no operation was performed. In group S the sciatic nerve was only exposed but not ligated. NP was induced by ligation of the tibial nerve and commom peroneal nerve according to the technique described by Dixon. After the establishment of the model, intrathecal PBS 50 μl was injected in group NP, IT 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.10 mmol/L MSO 50 μl was injected intrathecally in group M1-4, and 0.05 mmol/L MSO 50 μl was injected intrathecally and then 0.25 mmol/L glutamine 50 μl was injected intrathecally 15 min later in group MG. Mechanical pain threshold was measured 1 week before ligation (T0 , baseline), 1 week after ligation (T1) and 15, 30, 45 and 60 min after injection of MSO (T2-5). Then rats were killed and the lumbar segment of the spinal cord was removed for determination of the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and GS and the co-expression (GFAP/GS) in the dorsal horn.Results Mechanical pain threshold was significantly lower at T1-5 in group MG and NP and at T2-4 in group M3.4 ,and the expression of GFAP, GS and GFAP/GS was significantly higher in group MG,NP and M3 than in group S and C ( P ＜ 0.05) .Conclusion Astroglial glutamate-glutamine shuttle in the spinal cord is involved in the development of neuropathic pain in rats.

Objective To explore the anti-infection mechanism of carboxyamidotriazole (CAI) through studying the effects of CAI on the proliferation, apoptosis and degranulation of RBL-2H3 mass cells.Methods Compound 48/80 (C48/80) was used to induce the model of activation and degranulation in RBL-2H3 cells.The morphological change of cell degranulation was observed by neutral red staining.The release levels of histamine and β-hexosaminidase were measured by ELISA method and chromogenic assay, respectively.The cell activity was determined by CCK-8 method.And cell apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33342 fluorescent staining.Results Compared with the control group, 10, 20, 40 μmol/L CAI inhibited C48/80-induced degranulation of RBL-2H3 cells in different degrees.CAI (20, 40 μmol/L) reduced the histamine release (P<0.01), and CAI (40 μmol/L) decreased the β-hexosaminidase release (P<0.01).In addition, the viability and apoptosis of RBL-2H3 cells were not affected at the concentrations of CAI used.Conclusions CAI can effectively inhibit the activation and degranulation of RBL-2H3 mast cells, and this effect is not through cytotoxicity.The anti-infection effect of CAI may partially due to the down-regulation of mast cell activity.

Objective:To analyze the changes in T lymphocyte subsets, B lymphocytes and NK cells in children with active tuberculosis (TB) and their clinical significance.Methods:T lymphocyte subsets, B lymphocytes and NK cells in peripheral blood samples of 106 patients with acute TB (TB group) and 106 healthy children (healthy control group) were detected by flow cytometry and compared between different groups.Results:The percentages of CD3 + T, CD4 + T and NK cells as well as the CD4 +/CD8 + T cell ratio were significantly lower in the TB group than in the healthy control group ( Z=-3.783, P=0.000; Z=-5.401, P=0.000; Z=-3.434, P=0.001; Z=-2.014, P=0.044). The percentages of double negative T (DNT) and B cells in the TB group were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group ( Z=2.765, P=0.006; Z=6.880, P=0.000). No significant difference in the percentage of CD8 + T or double positive T (DPT) cells was observed between the two groups ( P>0.05). The expression of peripheral lymphocyte subsets varied in TB children of different age groups (0-<3, 3-<6, 6-<10 and 10-<16 years old). There were significant differences in CD3 + T, DNT and B cells among the four age groups ( H=10.081, P=0.018; H=14.583, P=0.002; H=8.498, P=0.037). The percentage of CD4 + T cells was significantly lower in children with extrapulmonary TB than in those with pulmonary TB ( Z=-3.068, P=0.002). No statistically significant difference in other lymphocyte subsets was found between children with extrapulmonary and pulmonary TB ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Tuberculosis could lead to immune dysfunction in children. Dynamic monitoring of the changes in peripheral lymphocyte subsets in children with TB could be conducive to better assessment of immune status and providing personalized treatment.

The establishment and development of tissue engineering has changed the traditional treatment model which re-pair trauma with trauma. It combines seed cells with biomaterials to repair bone, cartilage, muscle, blood vessels and other tissue defects. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) are seed cells for stem cell regenerative medicine. They have been exten-sively studied because of many advantages, such as multi-directional differentiation, easy-extraction and culture, strong prolifera-tion ability, low immunogenicity, and so on. However, there are some problems in the repair in trauma of BMMSCs, which restrict their application in clinical medical treatment. Therefore, a great deal of basic experimental studies are still needed. In a large number of experiments on BMMSCs, various types of detection methods emerge in an endless stream. In order to monitor its status like migration, proliferation and differentiation in vivo, tracing technology has been using. Tracing, in short, is the tracking of mark-ers. There are three types of labeling methods, including Report gene, Fluorescent dyes and Nano particle, using one or more of the medical imaging technologies, such as optical imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and radionuclide imaging (RNI) to ob-serve. Thus, a variety of tracer techniques are formed. Different tracing technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are related to the nature of the selected marker itself and the characteristics of the imaging technique. In order to obtain bet-ter and more accurate experimental results, researchers are constantly improving and developing new tracing technology. In this paper, we classify tracing techniques by different labeling methods, review and prospect the various tracing techniques currently applied to BMMSCs.

Purpose: Tamoxifen showed individual differences in efficacy under different CYP2D6*10 genotypes. Our study evaluated the prognosis of tamoxifen or toremifene in hormone receptor (HR)–positive breast cancer patients under different genotypes. Materials and Methods: CYP2D6*10 genotypes of HR-positive breast cancer patients were determined by Sanger sequencing, and all the patients were divided into tamoxifen group or toremifene group. Results: A total of 268 patients with HR-positive breast cancer were studied. The median follow-up time was 72.0 months (range, 5.0 to 88.0 months). Of these, 88 (32.9%), 114 (42.5%), and 66 (24.6%) patients had C/C, C/T, and T/T genotypes, respectively. Among patients who received tamoxifen (n=176), the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate in patients with C/C and C/T genotype was better than that in patients with T/T genotype, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001 and p=0.030, respectively). In patients receiving toremifene, CYP2D6*10 genotype was not significantly associated with DFS (p=0.325). Regardless of genotypes, the 5-year DFS rate was higher in patients treated with toremifene than in patients with tamoxifen (91.3% vs. 80.0%, p=0.011). Compared with tamoxifen, toremifene remained an independent prognostic marker of DFS in multivariate analysis (hazard ratio, 0.422; p=0.021). For all the 180 patients with CYP2D6*10 C/T and T/T genotypes, the 5-year DFS rate was significantly higher in the toremifene group than in the tamoxifen group (90.8% vs. 70.1%, p=0.003). Conclusion Toremifene may be an alternative adjuvant endocrine therapy for patients with CYP2D6*10 mutant genotypes.

Objective:To construct and validate a prediction model combined machine learning with imaging omics characteristics in differentiating anaplastic glioma from glioblastoma.Methods:Imaging data of 241 patients with anaplastic glioma or glioblastoma, confirmed by pathology in our hospital from August 2005 to August 2012, were retrospectively collected. These patients were divided into a training group ( n=140) and a verification group ( n=101) according to random number table method. MRIcron software was used to delineate tumor boundaries of patients from the training group on preoperative T1 enhanced MR imaging. The regions of interest (ROIs) were outlined on preoperative T1 enhanced MR imaging, and the radiomic features were extracted from ROIs by Matlab software. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to screen the features, and then, the selected features were used to construct the prediction model by support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the model. Results:In these 241 patients, 101 were with anaplastic glioma and 140 were with glioblastoma confirmed by pathology. In the training group and validation group, there was statistical difference in age between patients with anaplastic glioma and glioblastoma ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in gender distribution, tumor location, and percentages of tumor necrosis or edema between patients with anaplastic glioma and glioblastoma ( P>0.05). Totally, 431 radiomic features were extracted; 11 radiomic features were screened by LASSO regression model and the prediction model was established. The AUC of ROC curve was 0.942 and 0.875, respectively, in the training group and validation group. Conclusion:The prediction model combined machine learning and imaging omics characteristics can effectively discriminate anaplastic glioma from glioblastoma.
