Objective To investigate the association between 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor (HTR2A)gene T102C locus polymorphism and schizophrenia,and to provide basis for evidence-based medicine for the genetic background of schizophrenia.Methods PubMed,EMbase,CNKI,WanFang and Vip information databases were used to search full text of all the relevant studies about the association between HTR2A gene T102C locus polymorphism and schizophrenia,which were published during 2003 to 2012.Based on reviewing full text,the data were selected, evaluated and accessed. RevMan 5.1 and Stata 1 2.0 were used to perform the statistical analysis of those studies that were in accordance with the inclusive criteria. According to the different ethnicities, the obj ects were divided into two subgroups as European and Asian to analyze respectively. Also, depending on different inheritances, the obj ects were divided into five patterns including C/T allele, CC/TT, CC/CT+TT, CC+CT/TT and CC+ TT/CT genotypes to analyze respectively, including heterogeneity inspection, effect consoliating and publication bias assessment. Results A total of 11 studies were available for this analysis, including 2 443 schizophrenia patients and 2 469 controls.The Meta-analysis results showed that the allele of all people were OR=1.12,95%CI=0.96-1.31,P>0.05;CC/TT of all people were OR=1.11,95%CI=0.80-1.53,P>0.05;CC/CT+TT of all people were OR=1.13,95%CI=0.99-1.30,P>0.05;CC+CT/TT of all people were OR=1.18, 95%CI=0.93-1.50,P>0.05;CC+TT/CT of all people were OR=0.95, 95%CI=0.84-1.06,P>0.05.Conclusion Current evidence is insufficient to show that HTR2A gene T102C locus polymorphism may be associated with schizophrenia, suggesting that the gene polymorphism has no significantly genetic association with schizophrenia.

Objective:To delve deeply into the dynamic trajectories of cell subpopulations and the communication network among immune cell subgroups during the malignant progression of glioblastoma(GBM),and to endeavor to unearth key risk biomarkers in the GBM malignancy progression,so as to provide a more profound understanding for the treatment and prognosis of this disease by integrating tran-scriptomic data and clinical information of the GBM patients.Methods:Utilizing single-cell sequencing data analysis,we constructed a cell subgroup atlas during the malignant progression of GBM.The Mono-cle2 tool was employed to build dynamic progression trajectories of the tumor cell subgroups in GBM.Through gene enrichment analysis,we explored the biological processes enriched in genes that significant-ly changed with the malignancy progression of GBM tumor cell subpopulations.CellChat was used to identify the communication network between the different immune cell subgroups.Survival analysis helped in identifying risk molecular markers that impacted the patient prognosis during the malignant pro-gression of GBM.This methodological approach offered a comprehensive and detailed examination of the cellular and molecular dynamics within GBM,providing a robust framework for understanding the disease's progression and potential therapeutic targets.Results:The analysis of single-cell sequencing data identified 6 different cell types,including lymphocytes,pericytes,oligodendrocytes,macrophages,glioma cells,and microglia.The 27 151 cells in the single-cell dataset included 3 881 cells from the pa-tients with low-grade glioma(LGG),10 166 cells from the patients with newly diagnosed GBM,and 13 104 cells from the patients with recurrent glioma(rGBM).The pseudo-time analysis of the glioma cell subgroups indicated significant cellular heterogeneity during malignant progression.The cell interaction analysis of immune cell subgroups revealed the communication network among the different immune sub-groups in GBM malignancy,identifying 22 biologically significant ligand-receptor pairs across 12 key bio-logical pathways.Survival analysis had identified 8 genes related to the prognosis of the GBM patients,among which SERPINE1,COL6A1,SPP1,LTF,C1S,AEBP1,and SAA1L were high-risk genes in the GBM patients,and ABCC8 was low-risk genes in the GBM patients.These findings not only provided new theoretical bases for the treatment of GBM,but also offered fresh insights for the prognosis assessment and treatment decision-making for the GBM patients.Conclusion:This research comprehensively and pro-foundly reveals the dynamic changes in glioma cell subpopulations and the communication patterns among the immune cell subgroups during the malignant progression of GBM.These findings are of significant im-portance for understanding the complex biological processes of GBM,providing crucial new insights for precision medicine and treatment decisions in GBM.Through these studies,we hope to provide more ef-fective treatment options and more accurate prognostic assessments for the patients with GBM.

OBJECTIVE： To compare the quality of original preparations of Thioctic acid injection and generic preparations from 2 domestic manufacturers， discuss the acute toxicity test of mice and to investigate the project of consistency evaluation methods. METHODS： According to the quality standard that stated in Chinese Pharmacopeia， physicochemical properties （characters， pH， osmotic pressure， etc.， contents and related substances of samples of Thioctic acid injection as well as LD50 in acute toxicity test （n＝10）， and mortality of mice after administration of injection solution （n＝30） were compared among 3 manufacturers. RESULTS： The physicochemical properties as and related substances of the original drug and 2 generic drugs were all in line with the quality standard； the contents of 3 samples ranged 95％-105％. The acute toxicity test results showed that the LD50 values of 2 generic drugs （LD50： 247.911 mg/kg， 95％ confidence interval： 222.209-277.999 mg/kg；LD50： 215.291 mg/kg， 95％ confidence interval： 196.637-235.053 mg/kg） were smaller than that of original drug （LD50： 266.534 mg/kg， 95％ confidence interval： 250.597-283.418 mg/kg）， but there was no statistical difference （P＞0.05）. The results of 3 repeated experiments showed that there was statistical significance in the number of animal death caused by the 2 generic drugs （26， 28） was more than that of the original drug （19） （all P＜0.05）， when injection solution was injected into mice in a single dose. After administration of the original drug， mice showed excitatory reactions such as movement and squeal， while 2 generic drugs showed inhibitory reactions. CONCLUSIONS： 2 generic drugs of Thioctic acid injection and the original drug all conform to the relevant regulations of Chinese Pharmacopoeia in terms of preparation quality standards， but the results of acute toxicity test are quite different， so it is difficult to prove the consistency between the 2 generic drugs and the original drug. Therefore， acute toxicity test is necessary for the consistency evaluation of injections.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are a class of functional RNAs that play critical roles in different diseases. NcRNAs include microRNAs, long ncRNAs, and circular RNAs. They are highly expressed in the brain and are involved in the regulation of physiological and pathophysiological processes of central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Mounting evidence indicates that ncRNAs play key roles in CNS diseases. Further elucidating the mechanisms of ncRNA underlying the process of regulating glial function that may lead to the identification of novel therapeutic targets for CNS diseases.
