Objective To investigate neural correlates of directed forgetting. Methods ERP was recorded from 12 healthy postgraduates while they performed a directed forgetting task based on the item-cueing method. During the study phase, each word was followed by a cue indicated that it need to be remembered, to be forgotten or just to be viewed. During the test phase, subjects were asked to make an old/new recognition response. One-way ANOVA of repeated-measurement and paired comparisons were carried out for the cue factor. Results Both of the accuracy and reaction time of the TBR group were significantly superior to those of the other two groups. No significant behavioral effect was found between the TBF group and the TBV group. In the study phase, statistical parametric mapping of ERP suggested the cue effects were presented in the frontal poles ( 200～300 ms ) and the parietal regions (300～400 ms) ,the left fronto-parietal and the right occipital region (450～700 ms). The difference between the TBF and the TBV was significant in the left parietal area (500～525 ms) and has the significant trend in the right frontal area ( 350～600 ms). In the retrieval phase, the old/new effects of ERP occurred in the left fro-nto-temporal (300～450 ms) for the TBF cue. Conclusions The TBF cue and the TBV cue have the equivalent behavioral performance. During the study period, the activation of the right frontal lobe and the left parietal suggests the active inhibition evoked by the TBF cue. And the TBR cue can enhance the rehearsal function of left hemisphere and improve the memory performance of words. The retrieval of the items of TBF is based on more familiarity and less recollection.

Objective To compare the risk effects of different antiplatelet therapies on gastrointestinal injury and summarize the endoscopic characteristics of gastrointestinal mucosal injury in the elderly. Methods The dyspepsia symptoms, gastrointestinal bleeding and endoscopic findings were retrospectively evaluated among 577 patients who received the antiplatelet therapy with aspirin and/or clopidogrel. Results The risk of dyspepsia symptoms and gastrointestinal bleeding was slightly higher in clopidogrel group than in aspirin group (both P＞0.05, x2=0.48, 0.72), and OR (95% CI): 1.10 (0.59-2.07) and 1.74 (0.48-6.33), for the risk of dyspepsia symptoms and gastrointestinal bleeding, respectively. In aspirin plus clopidogrel group, the risk of dyspepsia symptoms had no significant increase as compared with aspirin or clopidogrel group (x2=0.37, 0.03, for aspirin or clopidogrel group, respectively, both P＞0.05), but the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding was significantly higher than in aspirin group (x2=5.43, P＜0.05), OR (95% CI): 4.77 (1.15-19.79) and slightly higher than in clopidogrel group (P＞0.05). In this study, 57 patients received endoscopy and the detection rate of erosion or ulcer was 78.9%. Erosion (61.4%) was most in the gastric antrum; gastric ulcer (10.6%) located in gastric antrum and angle; duodenal ulcer (18.0%) located in bulb. In patients with dyspepsia symptoms erosion (70.5%), were most likely found but patients with gastrointestinal bleeding showed mainly ulcer (69.2%). Conclusions In the elderly the use of clopidogrel alone is not safer than low-dose aspirin and the combination would increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. The detection rate of erosion or ulcer is high in patients with symptoms. Patients with dyspepsia symptoms most likely show erosion, but patients with gastrointestinal bleeding have mainly ulcer and complex ulcers more common.

Methods BEAS-2 B airway epithelial cells were cultured in vitro,and were stimulated by neutrophil elastase(NE).Reactive oxygen species(ROS)scavenger(DMTU),hyaluronidase(Hase),CD44 antibody and tissue kallikrein(TK)inhibitor(PI)were served as interventional factors,and control group(serum free culture),NE stimulation group(50 nmol/L NE),DMTU+NE group(20μmol/L DMTU+50 nmol/L NE),DMTU+Hase+NE group(20 μmol/L DMTU+10μg/mL Hase+50 nmol/L NE),CD44Ab+NE group(5 μg/mL CD44Ab+50 nmol/LNE)and PI+NE group(1 00μg/mL PI+50 nmol/L NE)were established.The expression of mucin(MUC)5AC mRNA was detected by RT-PCR,the expression of MUC5AC and EGF protein was determined by ELISA,and the expression of phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor(p-EGFR)protein was analysed by Western blotting. Results The expression of MUC5AC,EGF and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA in NE stimulation group was significantly higher than that in control group(P<0.01),the expression in DMTU+NE group was significantly lower than that in NE stimulation group(P<0.01),the expression in MTU+Hase+NE group was significantly higher than that in DMTU+NE group(P<0.05 for MUC5AC and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA,and P<0.01 for EGF protein),the expression in CD44Ab+NE group and PI+NE group was significantly higher than that in NE stimulation group(P<0.05 for MUC5AC and p-EGFR protein and MUC5AC mRNA,and P<0.01 for EGF protein). Conclusion NE up-regulates the expression of MUC5AC gene via ROS/HA/CD44/TK/EGF/EGFR signal transduction pathway in airway epithelial cells.

Background and purpose: MicroRNA(miRNA) is a class of small non-coding RNA playing an important regulatory role in many diseases. In this study, we explore the levels of miR-192 and zinc ifnger E-box binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) in CRC, the clinical signiifcance of miR-192 and the correlation between the expression of miR-192 and ZEB2 protein. Methods: The expression levels of miR-192 and ZEB2 mRNA in 30 colorectal carcinoma samples, 30 corresponding cancer-adjacent tissue samples (from the edge of tumor≥5 cm), 25 colorectal adenoma samples, and 15 normal tissue samples were quantiifed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). ZEB2 protein expression was determined using Western blot. The relationship between the miR-192 and clinicopathological factors, miR-192 and ZEB2 protein expression was analyzed. Results:Signiifcant upregulation of miR-192 expression and reduction of ZEB2 mRNA and protein expression were identiifed in CRC tissues, compared to cancer-adjacent tissues, colorectal adenoma samples, and normal tissues (P<0.05). Low miR-192 levels were signiifcantly associated with lymph node (P=0.021) and distant metastasis (P=0.023). An inverse relationship between miR-192 and ZEB2 protein expression was identified in CRC group (r=-0.365, P<0.05). Conclusion: MiR-192 downexpression was correlated with CRC metastasis. MiR-192 may play a role in the development and progression of CRC through ZEB2.
