Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases 2014;(6):341-347
Objective To evaluate the changes of the level of cerebrospinal fluid T-tau protein andβ-amyloid 42 in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Methods Computer retrieval was preformed for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to-tal tau protein (T-tau) and β-amyloid 42 (Aβ 42) levels among MCI and healthy people in Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Ovid, CNKI, VIP Data and Wangfang Data. Meta-analyses were conducted on the T-tau and Aβ42 levels using Review Manager 5.2 software. Results Seventeen studies met inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis results showed that, CSF T-tau protein levels were significantly higher (MD:113.10;95%CI:87.93-138.26) and Aβ42 levels were significantly lower in the patients with MCI, (MD=-146.50;95%CI=-178.70- -114.29) compared with the control group (P<0.01). Conclu-sions T-tau significantly increases while Aβ42 significantly decreases in the CSF in patients with MCI.

AIM:To study whether inhibition of forkhead box protein M1(FoxM1) sensitizes leukemia K562 cells to homoharringtonine ( HHT ) .METHODS: K562 cells were incubated with HHT at different concentrations ( 0μmol/L, 0.015 μmol/L, 0.030μmol/L and 0.045μmol/L) for different time (0 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h).The mRNA and protein levels of FoxM1 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.FoxM1 siRNA was transfected into K562 cells with 0.015μmol/L HHT after 6 h.After 72 h incubation, the cell proliferation was detected by cell counting and soft agar assay, and the proportion of apoptotic K562 cells was determined by flow cytometry.The expression of c-Myc and Sp1 were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.RESULTS:FoxM1 expression was reduced time-dependently and dose-dependently, suggesting that HHT mediated the downregulation of FoxM1 in K562 cells.In K562 cells, treatment with FoxM1 siRNA and HHT inhibited the cell proliferation and promoted the apoptosis significantly.Therefore, inhibition of FoxM1 sensitized leukemia K562 cells to HHT.The expression of c-Myc and Sp1 was positively regulated by FoxM1. CONCLUSION:HHT inhibits Forkhead box protein M1 expression in K562 cells.Inhibition of FoxM1 sensitizes K562 cells to HHT.

Objective To analysis the malignant performance characteristics of tumor stem cell-like side popula-tion cells in patients with cervical cancer. Methods The cervical cancer cells were obtained from surgical resection tumor tissue. The tumor stem cell-like side population cells were isolated by flow cytometry. The cell growth curve was drawn by MTT assay. The invasion ability of tumor cells was compared by transwell assay. The clonogenic capacity was detected by clone formation in soft agar. The expression level of ABCG2 protein, a drug-resistant gene, was detected by immunofluores-cence method. Finally, these cells were transplated into the subcutaneous of de thymus mice. The rate of tumor formation was compared between groups. Results The results from flow cytometry assay showed the percentage of cervical cancer stem cell-like side population cells was 1.39%. Compared with the non-side population cells, the side population cells grow quickly, showed the enhanced invasion ability and colony forming ability. There was more high expression level in ABCG 2 protein of side population cells. The tumor form rate was 100%(10/10) in the side population cells and the non-side popula-tion cells was 20%(2/10). Conclusion The cervical cancer stem cell-like side population cells have more malignant perfor-mance characteristics than that of non-side population cells, which maybe a core target for cancer gene therapy in the future.

Objective To investigate the effect of microRNA-96-5p(miR-96-5p)on expression of mam-malian target of rapamycin(mTOR)in gastric cancer cells. Methods Lentiviral vector,LV-hsa-mir-96-5p was transfected into BGC-823 gastric cancer cells. The expression of miR-96-5p and mTOR mRNA after transfection was detected by qRT-PCR,and the expression of mTOR protein was detected by Western blot. Results At 72 h after transfection,the expression level of miR-96-5p in the experimental group was 20.4 times of that in the blank control group(P<0.05),while the expression level of mTOR gene was downregulated to 0.47 times of that in the blank control group (P < 0.05),and mTOR protein relative expression was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Overexpression of miR-96-5p can downregulate the expression of mRNA and protein of mTOR gene in gastric cancer cells,thus,mTOR may be one of the downstream target genes of miR-96-5p.

ObjectiveTo investigate the immunity and seroprevalence of hepatitis A and to identify the risk factors of hepatitis A infection in 0-18 year-old children and adolescents in Shanghai.MethodsSubjects were enrolled by stratifying and clustering random sampling method.Questionnaire interview was applied to investigate the socio-demographic and behavioral factors related to hepatitis A virus (HAV),and information on HAV immunization was abstracted from the immunization registration book of each subject.The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to qualitatively detect HAV IgM and quantitatively measure total HAV antibody in all subjects.Risk factors associated with HAV among the subjects without HAV vaccination were analyzed.ResultsA total of 2431 subjects were enrolled in the present study with negative HAV IgM antibody and total HAV antibody in 1483 subjects were sero-positive with positivity rate of 61%.Total HAV antibody positivity rates were declined with age increasing and were significantly higher in subjects with HAV vaccination than those without HAV vaccination records.Salad food,eating together without food separation in school and endoscopy inspection were risk factors for HAV infection.ConclusionsHAV vaccination strategies remarkably improve the total HAV antibody seropositive rate in children and adolescents in Shanghai.The risk of HAV infection exists if HAV vaccination is not administrated comprehensively.Therefore,strengthening HAV vaccination and health education are important for children and adolescents to prevent and control of hepatitis A in Shanghai.

Osteochondral lesion of talus (OLT) is a foot and ankle disease characterized by ankle pain, which may impact the joint function and life quality. If managed improperly, it may lead to a further ankle arthritis, severely compromising the prognosis. The therapeutic effect of conservative treatment for OLT is still uncertain. Surgery is still the main treatment modality for OLT with various techniques. However, the optimized surgical technique is still inconclusive, furthermore, regeneration and repair of cartilage after debridement is also a great challenge for the treatment of OLT. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) with good repair effect on cartilage injury is gradually applied in the treatment of OLT. However, there still lacks the unified understanding of the technique and specification of PRP for the treatment of OLT. Therefore, National Orthopedics Center of Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital allied Foot Ankle Basic Research & Orthopedics Group, Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons; Foot and Ankle Committee of Chinese Association of Sports Medicine Physicians; and Foot and Ankle Group of Orthopedic Specialized Branch of Shanghai Medical Association to organize related experts to formulate the Expert consensus on platelet- rich plasma treatment for osteochondral lesion of talus ( version2023). Fifteen recommendations were put forward upon PRP preparation, indications, contraindications and treatment methods of PRP for OLT, so as to standardize the PRP treatment for OLT.
