Ring dermoid of cornea (RDC) is an autosomal dominant disorder of cornea. The previous study identified a G185A mutation of PITX2 gene in a Chinese family with RDC. To investigate the pathological mechanism of PITX2 R62H mutation, a PITX2 prokaryotic expression plasmid were constructed and GST-PITX2 fusion protein were purified. EMSA was further conducted. The DNA-banding ability of PITX2 R62H was similar to that of the wild type PITX2 were found. The cell lines stably expressed PITX2 was also generated, and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the expression of ?-catenin and Cyclin D1 were detected by quantitative Real-time PCR. The results showed that proliferating ability of cells expressing PITX2 R62H was lower than that of cells expressing PITX2 WT, as well as ?-catenin and Cyclin D1 mRNA level. These findings revealed that PITX2 R62H mutation affected the Wnt/?-catenin→PITX2 pathway, promoted the genes expressing abnormally, and led to abnormal cell proliferation and the formation of RDC, which may play an important role in pathogenesis of RDC.

Objective:To evaluate the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) in skin assessment of Systemic sclerosis (SSc).Methods:A total of 58 SSc patients admitted to Peking University Third Hospital from May 2021 to October 2022 and 41 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Skin shear wave elastography (SWE) was performed at 17 sites defined in modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) measurement, and shear wave velocity values were recorded to evaluate skin hardness. SPSS 22.0 software was used to analyze the skin hardness of SSc patients and healthy controls, and the correlation between skin hardness of SSc patients and clinical data was analyzed. A logistic regression model was constructed to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of skin hardness at different sites of SSc patients, and to further select the most practical measurement site.Results:The SWE value of SSc patients was significantly higher than that of healthy control group ( P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between SWE and mRSS in the measurement of bilateral fingers, bilateral dorsal hands, bilateral forearms, fore-chest, abdomen, bilateral thighs, and bilateral dorsal feet. Skin stiffness measured by SWE was significantly correlated with SSc disease activity score (EScSG-DAI), ( r=0.71, P<0.001), disease injury score (SCTC-DI), (P=0.55, P=0.005) and functional score (HAQ-DI), ( r=0.46, P=0.003). Reducing the number of measurement sites to 12 (bilateral fingers, bilateral hands, bilateral forearms, bilateral upper arms, forehead, fore-chest, bilateral dorsum of feet) performs as well as all 17 measurement sites simultaneously in assessing disease activity. Conclusion:SWE is a good evaluation tool to reflect the skin lesions of SSc, which is of great value for the diagnosis and evaluation of the disease. We can further standardize the measurement sites and select the most appropriate evaluation strategy, so as to achieve better clinical application.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of 18F-deuterated-Florbetapir (D3FSP) PET/CT imaging in detecting β-amyloid (Aβ) deposition in the brain and its correlation with plasma biomarkers. Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 patients (32 males, 47 females; age(66±7)years) who underwent 18F-D3FSP PET/CT imaging from June 2022 to November 2023 at the First Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, as a part of the Greater Bay Area Healthy Aging Brain Longitudinal Cohort Study (GHABS). Based on the Alzheimer′s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative cohort standard protocol, patients were categorized into cognitively unimpaired (CU) group, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) group, and Alzheimer′s disease (AD) group. Brain regions were segmented using the AW workstation and the SUV ratio (SUVR) was calculated with the cerebellum as the reference region. One-way analysis of variance, Bonferroni correction and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze data. The ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the cut-off value and the diagnostic efficacy of SUVR. Results:There were 48, 15 and 16 cases in CU, MCI and AD groups respectively. During the transition from CU to MCI and then to AD, there was a rising trend in SUVR ( F values: 11.15-22.38, all P<0.001) across the whole brain and various brain regions (bilateral frontal lobes, bilateral anterior cingulate gyrus, bilateral precuneus, bilateral parietal lobes, bilateral lateral temporal lobes, and bilateral occipital lobes). SUVRs of the right anterior cingulate gyrus and bilateral precuneus were different between the CU and MCI groups (all P<0.017), and those of bilateral frontal lobes, right precuneus, bilateral parietal lobes, bilateral lateral temporal lobes, and bilateral occipital lobes were different between the MCI and AD groups (all P<0.017). SUVRs of brain regions were negatively correlated with cognitive scale scores ( r values: from -0.57 to -0.37, all P<0.001), and were positively correlated with plasma phosphorylated tau181 (p-tau181, r values: 0.50-0.61, all P<0.001). The ROC curve analysis suggested that the cut-off value of SUVR in the precuneus for distinguishing CU from AD was 1.20, with the AUC, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 0.85, 12/16, 91.7%(44/48)and 87.5%(56/64), respectively. Conclusion:18F-D3FSP PET/CT imaging has good clinical application value in assessing the deposition sites and the extent of Aβ in the brain, which is related to clinical cognition and plasma p-tau181 level.
