BACKGROUND:Wnt signal pathway is involved in the regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells differentiating into osteoblasts, promotes osteoblasts proliferation and differentiation, inhibits programmed death of osteoblasts, and indirectly affects the function of osteoclasts.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the relationship between Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway and bone disease.
METHODS:A computer-based online search was performed to find papers published between January 2000 and January 2014 in CNKI database and Elsevier database. The key words were“Wnt/β-catenin, osteoblasts, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, osteoarthritis, chondrocytes”in Chinese. Documents concerning the effects of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway on osteoblasts and bone disease were included.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Wnt signaling pathway is consisted of Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway (Wnt typical signal pathway), Wnt/Ca2+signal pathway and Wnt/planar cellpolarity signal pathway. Wnt signaling pathway is one of the most important regulatory systems that plays a key role in modulating the differentiation, proliferation and programmed celldeath of osteoblasts, osteoclasts and chondrocytes. The role of Wnt signal pathway in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is mediated by osteoblasts. The inhibitory factor of Wnt signal pathway in osteoblasts is upregulated, which reduces the ratio of osteoprotegerin/receptor activating factor ligand, promotes the osteoclasts differentiation and immaturation. The researches addressing the components and effect of Wnt signal pathway are important for the special treatment of bone diseases and the prevention of osteoporosis or other bone diseases.

Objective To investigate factors influencing the quality of life (QOL) of cancer patients with bone metastases. Methods Eighty-two cancer patients with hone metastasis were investigated.A questionnaire designed according to European Organization for Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire ( EORTC QLQ-C30),Monroe Dunaway Anderson symptom inventory-Chinese edition (MADSI-C) and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) standards was used to collect the information. Results The average total standardized QOL score of these cancer patients was 53.28±19.20.Among the function subscales,social function got the lowest average score (47.54),while among the symptom subscales fatigue got the highest average score (56.65).According to the MDASI-C,the most serious symptom burdens were fatigue,distress and pain; working and walking experienced the most interference.The symptom burdens correlated significantly with the QOL results.Twenty-four of the patients (29.3％) had been diagnosed with anxiety,and 17 (20.7％) were diagnosed with depression.Anxiety and depression continued to be significantly associated with overall QOL and its various dimensions. Conclusions The results　show that the burden of fatigue and pain,as well as of anxiety and depression are significantly associated with impaired QOL among cancer patients with bone metastasis.Work (housework) and walking were the most severely affected activities.Psychological rehabilitation should be focused on the comprehensive treatment of patients with bone　metastasis along with other appropriate rehabilitation strategies to enhance their overall functioning,relieve their　symptoms and improve their QOL.

Objective To investigate serum amino acid spectrum in patients with acute stroke in response to different nutritional support strategies and its effects on neurological function.Methods A total of 60 cases of acute stroke with dysphagia were randomly distributed into two groups:enteral nutrition group (30 cases) and control group (30 cases) using simple randomized design.Serum amino acid spectrum,hemoglobin,total protein,albumin,prealbumin,immunoglobulins,complement,and infection rate were assessed at three time points:within 48 hours,(7 ± 1) days and (14 ± 1) days after admission,and neurological deficit and activities of daily living are scored according to National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Barthel Index (BI).Results (7 ± 1),(14 ± 1) days after admission,serum amino acid spectrum,hemoglobin,total protein,albumin,prealbumin,immunoglobulins,complement,and neurological deficit scores of enteral nutrition group patients were significantly better than those of non-enteral nutrition control group; and infection rate was lower than that of control group.Follow-up for a month,3 months,NIHSS of enteral nutrition group patients (9.0 ± 1.4,7.9 ± 1.3) were significantly better than nonenteral nutrition control group(11.1 ± 1.5,10.6 ± 1.4,F =46.042,P ＜ 0.05).While BI score seemed to be not insignificant different between enteral nutrition group (50.1 ± 1.8,52.0 ± 2.4) and control group (49.0±2.1,51.3 ±2.8,F=2.707,P＞0.05).Conclusion For patients suffering acute stroke with dysphagia,enteral nutrition support could reduce infectious complications,improve short-term neurological function and long-term prognosis by improving serum amino acids level and thus the whole body' s nutritional status.

Objective:To explore the impact of clinical pharmacists involved in the treatment team on the reasonable drug use rate in medical orders. Methods:Totally 782 medical records including hypertension and 1-3 kinds of hypertension associated diseases in our hospital from January 2011 to December 2011 were used as the pre-intervention group, and 1 061 ones with the same conditions from September 2012 to August 2013 were used as the post-intervention group. The patients of the two groups were divided into 8 dis-ease subgroups, clinical pharmacists performed timely intervention on the medical orders in the post-intervention group, and the rational drug use rate between the two groups was compared. Results:In hypertension, hypertension associated coronary heart disease, hyper-tension with heart failure and hypertension with diabetes subgroups,the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant(P<0. 01), in hypertension with coronary heart disease and heart failure, hypertension associ-ated coronary heart disease and diabetes, hypertension with heart failure and diabetes subgroup, the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant(P<0. 05), while in hypertension with coronary heart disease, heart failure and diabetes subgroups, the difference was not statistically significant(P>0. 05). After the medical records in the 8 sub-groups were aggregated, the difference in the rational drug use proportion before and after the intervention was statistically significant( P<0. 01). Conclusion:Clinical pharmacists should involve in the clinical treatment to intervene irrational drug use,which can signifi-cantly improve the medical record rationality, avoid the health risks as much as possible and ensure the medication safety and treatment effectiveness for patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between diabetes and bone metabolism and the potential epigenetic mechanisms. Methods BMSCs were cultured for 7 and 15 days in cell culture medium with different concentrations of glucose. The mRNA and protein expression of HDACs and osteogenesis-related genes were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot assay ,respectively. Moreover ,the combination of HDAC to the promoter region of Runx2 was tested by the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay. Results ThemRNA expression of osteogenesis-related genes ,incuding OCN(P < 0.05)and Col1(P < 0.05),in the bone marrow of diabetic mice was significantly reduced compared with the control mice. The mRNA and protein expression of ALP ,OCN ,Runx2 and OSX was gradually reduced with the increasing concentration of glucose ,while HDAC2 mRNA and protein expression was increased. The binding activity of HDAC2 to the upstream and downstream of Runx2 promoter region in 25mM glucose-treated BMSCs was higher than the control group(P < 0.05). Conclusoins Diabetes might repress osteogenesis of BMSCs via inhibiting the activity of Runx2 through upregu-lating the expression of HDAC2.
