Anti-IgLON5 encephalopathy， also known as anti-IgLON5 antibody-associated encephalopathy， is an extremely rare autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system. The core clinical manifestations of this disease include sleep disturbance， gait abnormalities， medulla oblongata dysfunction， and cognitive impairment， as well as the presence of anti-IgLON5 antibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid. This article reports a case of anti-IgLON5 encephalopathy with memory deficits diagnosed in our hospital， and a literature review is also conducted to enhance the understanding of this condition.

The current status of diabetes prevention and control in China is characterized by high prevalence but low awareness, treatment and control rates. The government has launched a series of policies related to diabetes prevention and control to promote the transition from " disease-centered" to " health-centered" chronic disease management. In this context, the National Clinical Research Center for Metabolic Diseases (Changsha) initiated the " National Diabetes Prevention and Control Center (DPCC) Project". This review outlines the basic principles and practical experiences of the DPCC project and suggests future strategies and directions for diabetes prevention and control in China.

Based on the practice of National Diabetes Prevention and Control Center (DPCC) in Hunan Province for five years, this paper systematically reviewed the excellent experience and advanced practices of diabetes prevention and control in several demonstration areas.

BACKGROUND:Matrigel is the best material for the culture of tumor organoids,but matrigel alone is not enough to simulate the mechanical environment of tumor growth in vitro.Although the introduction of sodium alginate material can improve the stiffness of the hydrogel based on matrigel,its mechanical properties of hydrogel are difficult to maintain stability in long-term culture.OBJECTIVE:To introduce a small amount of calcium ions into the medium of breast cancer organoids and to observe its maintenance effect on the long-term mechanical properties of the matrigel-sodium alginate hydrogel.METHODS:(1)Sodium alginate composite hydrogels with low,medium,and high stiffness were prepared by introducing different mass concentrations(0,2.5,and 5 mg/mL)of sodium alginate into the constant mass concentration(5 mg/mL)of matrigel.The mechanical properties of hydrogels were measured regularly by rheometer.(2)Human triple negative breast cancer cells MDA-MB-231 were resuspended in hydrogel pre-gels with different stiffness.After gelling,breast cancer organoid factor medium containing(or without)calcium ions was added for breast cancer organoid culture.At a set time point,rheometer was used to regularly measure the effect of calcium ion introduction on the mechanical properties of hydrogel.The morphologic changes of breast cancer organoids were observed under optical microscope.Rate of breast cancer organoids forming into pellets was calculated on day 13.After 7 days of breast cancer organoid culture,different concentrations of the chemotherapy drug docetaxel(0.1,1,10,and 100 nmol/L)were added for intervention for 6 days.Cell viability was detected and the semi-inhibitory concentration of docetaxel,IC50,was calculated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The introduction of sodium alginate effectively improved the mechanical strength of the composite hydrogel.(2)With the extension of breast cancer organoid culture time,the mechanical strength of hydrogels decreased.On day 13 of culture,the mechanical properties of medium and high stiffness hydrogels in the culture environment containing calcium ions were significantly higher than those in the culture environment without calcium ions(P<0.05).There was no significant change in the mechanical properties of low stiffness hydrogels in the two cultures(P>0.05).In long-term culture(13 days),breast cancer organoids changed from round to spindle shape with the decrease of hydrogel mechanical properties in the medium and high stiffness hydrogel groups.After the introduction of calcium ions,the morphology of breast cancer organoids did not change with the extension of culture time in the two groups.The introduction of calcium ions in the culture environment had no effect on the pellet formation rate of breast cancer organoids in the low stiffness hydrogel group,but could improve the pellet formation rate of breast cancer organoids in the medium and high stiffness hydrogel groups.(3)In the culture environment without calcium ions,the cell viability of breast cancer organoids decreased with the increase of docetaxel concentration,and there was no significant difference in IC50 among the three hydrogel groups(P>0.05).In the culture environment containing calcium ions,the cell viability of breast cancer organoids decreased with the increase of docetaxel concentration.The cell viability of breast cancer organoids in the medium and high stiffness hydrogel groups was stronger than that in the low stiffness hydrogel group,and the IC50 was higher than that in the low stiffness hydrogel group(P<0.05).(4)The results showed that the mechanical properties of the matrigel-sodium alginate hydrogel could be maintained by introducing calcium ions into the breast cancer organoid culture system.

Objective To observe the ultrasonic manifestations of local recurrence(LR)of breast cancer after surgery.Methods Totally 82 female breast cancer patients with local hypoechoic in surgical area who underwent ultrasound follow-up were enrolled and divided into LR group(n=18)and non LR group(n=64)according to the local hypoechoic was LR or not.Clinical data and ultrasonic manifestations of primary lesion before operation and postoperative local hypoechoic were observed and compared between groups.Results Significant differences of surgical resection type,molecular subtype,status of smooth muscle actin,Calponin status,Ki-67 status,clinical staging,the maximum diameter and posterior echo of the primary lesion,as well as of involved tissue layer,location,long axis parallel to the skin or not,edge,internal echo,posterior echo,skin change and Adler blood flow grading of local hypoechoic in resection area were found between groups(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Ultrasonic manifestations of LR of breast cancer after surgery had certain characteristics.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Glaucocalyxin A(GLA)in inhibiting ovalbumin(OVA)-induced airway remodeling in asthmatic mice through the topoisomerase Ⅱ α(TOP2A)/cyclin-dependent kinase 1(CDK1)signaling pathway.Methods Forty Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups:the control group,the model group,the low-dose GLA group,the high-dose GLA group and the Dexamethasone group,with 8 mice in each group.The effect of GLA on airway remodeling was examined by immunohistochemical staining,ELISA and other methods,and bioinformatics methods were used to predict new targets of GLA.The action targets of TOP2A were screened using the STRING database,and the interaction relationship between the two was verified by co-immunoprecipitation.In vitro,GLA and siRNA were used to interfere with interleukin-4(IL-4)-stimulated human airway epithelial cells BEAS-2B.The expressions of TOP2A,epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),Integrin β1,focal adhesion kinase(FAK),β-catenin,CDK1 and DRP1 were detected by Western Blot.Results GLA intervention could significantly reduce OVA-induced asthma airway remodeling,airway smooth muscle thickening,collagen deposition around the airway,the number of eosinophils in alveolar lavage fluid,the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4,and the level of serum IgE.The new target of GLA screened out was TOP2A,which was highly expressed in the lung tissue of the asthma airway remodeling model.GLA intervention could down-regulate its expression.In vitro,intervention with GLA and si-TOP2A could significantly down-regulate the expressions of IL-4-induced TOP2A,EGFR,Integrin β1,FAK and β-catenin.Further studies have found that TOP2A had an interaction relationship with CDK1.si-TOP2A could downregulate the expression of CDK1,and knockdown of CDK1 could significantly down-regulate the expression of phosphorylated DRP1.Conclusion GLA may alleviate asthma airway remodeling by targeting the TOP2A/CDK1 signaling pathway,providing experimental evidence for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of asthma airway remodeling in asthma.
