Functional gastrointestinal disease(FGID)and inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)are two common gastrointestinal diseases in clinical practice.FGID refers to non-structural changes in gastrointestinal function,with irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)and functional dyspepsia(FD)being the common types.On the other hand,IBD is a group of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases with well-defined pathological features,mainly including Crohn's disease(CD)and ulcerative colitis(UC).Over the past decades,the incidence rates of both FG1D and IBD have increased with years,accompanied by high recurrence rates,and the clinical outcomes remain unsatisfactory,which seriously affect the physical and mental health of patients.Further research has revealed that neuropsychiatric abnormalities,including mental and psychological disorders,play important roles in the occurrence and development of FGID and IBD.The comorbidity of gastrointestinal and psychiatric diseases shares a common pathophysiological basis,that is,the abnormalities in the bidirectional communication between the gut and the central nervous system,and the theory of brain-gut axis has emerged as a research hotspot in this field.Better therapeutic outcomes can be achieved by screening and identifying key brain regions closely related to FGID and IBD through quantifiable assessments,and implementing combined pharmacotherapy on both the digestive system and the nervous system based on the theory of brain-gut axis.Current neuroimaging studies have provided the preliminary results for understanding the changes in the nervous system in FGID and IBD patients,but there is still a lack of systematic evaluation of the application of neuroimaging studies based on the brain-gut axis in gastrointestinal diseases.This paper reviewed the changes in brain structure and function associated with FGID and IBD,and the neuroimaging-based analysis of the brain-gut axis theory in the occurrence and development of these diseases,in order to provide theoretical basis for future personalized precision medicine of FGID and IBD based on the brain-gut axis.

Objective To investigate the molecular basis of ABO gene in a patient with serologic ABO blood group discrepancy.Methods Serologic blood group identification,Coombs' test and antibody screening were detected with DG Gel Confirm cards,Neutral cards,Coombs cards by WADiana/8XT Compact Analyzer (from Diagnostic Grifols,S.A).The enhancer,promoter,exon 1 ～ 7 and their adjacent intron region of ABO gene were amplified by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.Results The patient's red blood cells was determined as weak B phenotype showing two groups in gel and mixed field in tube with monoclonal anti-B,and A phenotype with monoclonal anti-A.DNA sequencing showed nine variants in ABO gene.One heterozygous variation in exon 6 (297A＞G) and eight heterozygous variations in exon 7 (467C＞T,526C ＞G,657C＞T,703G＞A,796C＞A,803G＞C,829G＞T 930G＞A) were identified and 829G＞T was the novel variant.Compared with Blood Group Antigen Gene Mutation Database,genotype of the patient was weak expression of A102/B101.Conclusion The novel variation of B allele is the main reason of Bweak phonetype in A102/B101 genotype.Serological and molecular biological detection help to understand the characteristics of blood group phenotype and genotype,provide the guidance for clinical transfusion strategies.

AIM:To investigate the mammalian target of rapamycin ( mTOR) signaling pathway as the center playing a role in the crizotinib-induced apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line H2228, which represents positive echinoderm microtubule-associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene. METHODS:H2228 cells were processed according to different purposes .Fluorescence quantitative PCR is used to ob-serve the gene states .MTT assay is used to detect the cell inhibition rates .The cell apoptosis and cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry .The expression and activation levels of the key proteins in the mTOR signaling pathway were determined by Western blotting .RESULTS:Crizotinib promoted the apoptosis of H 2228 cells in a time-and dose-dependent manner . Crizotinib blocked the H2228 cells staying at the G1 phase.In apoptotic H2228 cells processed with crizotinib, the activa-tion level of mTOR was decreased , and the activation levels of the key proteins in upstream and downstream of mTOR path -way were both declined .The expression level of the fusion protein EML 4-ALK variant 3 was not affected , but its active form of p-ALK was significantly suppressed .CONCLUSION:mTOR signaling pathway has a certain relationship with the crizotinib-induced apoptosis of lung cancer cell H 2228, which represents positive EML4-ALK fusion gene.

Objective To determine the detergent-enzymatic cycles and evaluate the biomechanical characteristics as well as extracellular matrix integrity of the decellularized tracheal scaffold in rabbit.Methods Forty tracheal segments were harvested from New Zealand white rabbits.Thirty-five of tracheas were subjected to a detergent-enzymatic method of decellularization for 1/3/5/6/7/8/9 cycles,respectively,and other five were stored in phosphate-buffered saline at 4℃ as a control.Comparative examinations were performed by the macroscopic view,histological view(hematoxylin and eosin stain,Movat Pentachrome stain,4-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole),scanning electron microscope (SEM) and biomechanical properties between decellularized groups and control group.Results After 7 detergent-enzymatic cycles,almost complete decellularized tracheae,retaining the hierarchical and mechanical properties of the native tissues,could be obtained.Histological and molecular biology analysis demonstrated that all cellular components and nuclear material were removed.SEM analysis revealed that the decellularized matrices retained the hierarchical structures of native trachea,and biomechanical tests showed that decellularization approach did not led to any influence on tracheal morphological and mechanical properties.Immunofluorescence analysis show a significant reduction of nuclear material in decellularized tracheas (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion In conclusion,this work suggests that 7 cycles of the modified DEM generates a bioengineered rabbit tracheal matrix that is structurally and mechanically similar to native trachea which could be a better selection for tracheal reconstruction with tissue engineering method.
