Glioblastoma(GBM)is one of the most common primary intracranial tumor that has high de-gree of malignancy ,invasive ability and a fatal prognosis .In recent years ,with the development of modern technol-ogy in biomedical sciences ,the understanding on GBM has developed gradually from pathological diagnosis to mo -lecular classifications ,which is based on the molecular characteristics of genetic signatures .Based on gene expres-sion and DNA methylation patterns , primary glioblastoma is divided into four subtypes , including the classical , neural,proneural and mesenchymal .These molecular classifications are closely relevant to the biological charac-teristics of glioblastoma .This review briefly introduces the molecular classifications of primary glioblastoma , but mainly focuses on the changes of the major genetic EGFR ,PTEN and PI3K,CDKN2A in the classical subtype of GBM,and discusses the treatment strategies for primary glioblastoma .

Aim To construct eukaryotic expression vector of shRNA(small hairpin RNA)for human SREBP-1(sterol regulation element binding protein-1)gene and explore its effects on lipid droplet formation in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line(HKC)under the stimulation of high glucose.Methods Two eukaryotic expression vectors of shRNA were constructed for human SREBP-1 gene.The HKC cells were transfected with negative control plasmid(pGenesil-1-HK)and two recombinant vectors(pGenesil-1-SREBP1-1 and pGenesil-1-SREBP1-2)and then were cultured under the stimulation of high glucose for about 48 h.The expression of SREBP-1 mRNA and FAS mRNA was detected by RT-PCR and SREBP-1 protein expression was investigated by Western blot.Lipid droplets were detected by Oil Red O staining.Results DNA sequencing showed that the target segments were successfully cloned into pGenesil-1 vector respectively.RT-PCR indicated that two recombinant vectors could inhibit the expression of SREBP-1 mRNA and FAS mRNA in HKC cells under the stimulation of high glucose.Similarly,SREBP-1 protein was also inhibited by the transfection with recombinant vectors.Oil Red O staining found that silencing of SREBP-1 gene resulted in lipid droplets decrease.Conclusions The eukaryotic expression vector of shRNA for human SREBP-1 gene was successfully constructed,and the expression of SREBP-1 was inhibited effectively by the expressed siRNA in HKC cells that resulted in lipid droplets decrease through FAS mRNA transcription inhibition.

Objective:To explore the influence of childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia on the boredom proneness of college students.Methods:The boredom proneness scale for college students(BPS), child psychological abuse and neglect scale (CPANS) and the Toronto alexithymia scale (TAS-20) were used to investigate 1 557 college students, and SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis.Results:Childhood psychological abuse (26.540±8.985), neglect (32.665±10.651), recognition emotion in alexithymia dimension (19.359±4.835), description emotion dimension (14.173±3.001), extroverted thinking dimension in alexithymia (20.383±3.429) had positive correlation with the total score of boredom tendency (101.109±19.735) and the dimension of external stimulus (66.022±21.079)( r=0.160-0.559, all P<0.01). And there were negative correlations with the internal stimulus dimension (35.132±8.207)( r=-0.302--0.104, all P<0.01). The hierarchical regression analysis showed that after controlling the effects of gender and age, psychological abuse and neglect were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 14.3%, 5.1% and 18.2% of the total variation (△ F=130.561, 41.968, 172.711, all P<0.01). Recognition of emotions, description of emotions and extroverted thinking in alexithymia were the influencing factors of boredom proneness, internal stimulus and external stimulus, which explained 17.5%, 9.9% and 25.5% of the total variation (△ F=134.274, 60.696, 234.383, all P<0.01). Conclusion:Childhood psychological abuse, neglect and alexithymia have significant effect on boredom proneness of college students, and mainly on external stimuli of boredom proneness. Among them, alexithymia has the greatest influence and the highest explanatory power.

Objective To investigate the percentage,mature classification and Immune killing function of Vγ9Vδ2T cell in peripheral blood of HCC patients.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from HCC patients (n =25) and healthy donors (n =20) by discontinuous density gradient centrifugation.Proportion,mature and differentiate subtypes and IFN-γ and CD107a expressing of the delta 2 T cells were detect by using flow cytometry,δ2Tcell were selectively cultured with zoledronate and human IL-2.After 12-14 days cells were collected and tested for the second time.Results While the percentage of Vγ9Vδ2Tcell of total T cell in peripheral blood of HCC patients is lower than healthy people before culture (t =4.505,P < 0.001),after augmentation in vitro the proportion increased significantly (t =8.782,P < 0.001),to a level similar to healthy group (t =1.644,P =0.109).There was no statistically significant difference when differentiation subtypes of patient's Vγ9Vδ2Tcell were compared with healthy group before culturing (all P > 0.05),after culture the proportion of Tn,Tcm and Temra decreased [t(Tn) =2.081,t(Tcm) =2.478,t(Temra) =2.953,all P < 0.05],and the proportion of Tem,Tem+ Temra increased [t(Tem) =12.6,t (Tem + Temra) =9.843,all P < 0.001].Cell culture did not alter the proportion of IFN-γ and CD107a secreting Vγ9Vδ2T cells in the peripheral blood in both HCC patients and healthy people (all P > 0.05).Conclusions While the percentage of Vγ9Vδ2T cell of HCC patients in peripheral blood was lower than healthy people,its matured subtypes are similar to those of healthy people,and functions of expressing IFN-γ and CD107a are not different with healthy people.Applying ZOL + IL-2 can amplifyVγ9Vδ2T cells of patients with HCC.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene, PcgstA was cloned from the penicillin producing strain Penicillium chrysogenum,which is important for understanding the industrial fermentation process. PcgstA gene has an open-reading-frame of 840 bp in length,which is interrupted by two introns. The deduced amino acid sequence shows about 50% identity to several characterized filamentous fungi GSTs. The recombinant PcGSTA in Escherichia coli were overexpressed and purified. Enzymatic assays showed that the recombinant PcGSTA had a specific activity with 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene of (0.159±0.031) μmol/(min· mg). It was found that the expression level of PcgstA in the penicillin producing medium supplemented with phenylacetic acid, the side chain precursor of penicillin G, was significant down regulated than that in medium without phenylacetic acid. This result suggested that PcGST may be related to phenylacetic acid metabolism in the penicillin producing strain.

Objective To study the correlation between the level of CaMKIV and essential hypertension (EH) in Shihezi community. Methods One hundred and forty-six patients with EH and 142 with normal blood pressure are enrolled from 15 communities in shihezi. We collected the clinical data, including blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, blood lipids. The serum level of CaMKIV was detected using an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Results The serum level of CaMKIV in the EH group was significantly lower than that in the normal blood pressure group (P < 0.05). The serum CaMKIV was negatively correlated with systolic BP and diastolic BP (r = -0.304, -0.452, all P < 0.05), with more obvious correlation with patients whose diastolic blood pressure was over 100 mmHg (r = -0.571, P < 0.05). Conclusions The serum level of CaMKIV is negatively correlated with EH, which is an independent factor of EH.
