Objective:To explore the effects of essential tremor(ET)on the mitochondrial morphology of GABAer-gic and glutamatergic neurons in the inferior olive(IO).Methods:The ET mouse model was established via intraper-itoneal injection of harmaline.Twelve 8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into saline control group and harmaline treatment group(HA).Behavioral tests,including open field test,rotarod test,balance beam test,and tremor scoring,were conducted to assess the behavior of mice.Using genetic engineering technology and the CRISPR/Cas9 system,we designed and generated 6 male GAD2-Mito-GFP mice and 6 male VGLUT2-Mito-GFP mice,all being 8-week-old.The mice of each transgenic line were randomly divided into Control and HA group.Immunofluorescence staining was used to analyze the expression of c-FOS positive cells in the IO of both the Control and HA groups,and to classify different types of neurons.Mitochondrial network analysis(MiNA)was performed to quantitatively analyze the area,mean aspect ratio,branch length,and other of mitochondria in different types of neurons in the IO under ET con-ditions.Results:Compared to the Control group,the HA group exhibited motor abnormalities and significant tremors.Immunofluorescence results showed a significant increase in the number of c-FOS positive cells in the IO,primarily in GABAergic neurons.MiNA results revealed that the mitochondria of GABAergic neurons showed increased area,branch length diameter,demonstrating irregular morphology.Conclusion:ET induces activation of GABAergic neurons in the IO and leads to more prominent mitochondrial morphological changes.This provides a new perspective for further inves-tigation of the pathogenesis of essential tremor and its relationship with mitochondrial.

Objective To explore the value of serum IgA,serum C3 and IgA/C3 ratio in the diagnosis and clinical monitoring of IgA nephropathy,which provide new insight for the alternatives of renal biopsy. Methods In the first affiliated hospital of Dalian Medical University,60 patients with IgAN,60 patients with non-IgAN and 40 healthy people were detected by blood biochemical indexes and immune indexes,such as the Urea,serum IgA and serum C3,IgA/C3 ratio. According to the healthy condition and Lee grading,we divided all the 160 patients into different groups. By comparing the blood biochemical indexes and immune indexes among these different groups,we investigated the relationship between the serum IgA/C3 ratio and the IgAN.Results Firstly,the level of serum IgA and IgA/C3 were obviously different among the patients with IgAN,patients with non-IgAN and healthy people(P<0.01).Secondly,the serum IgA and IgA/C3 have high specificity and sensitivity when distin-guishing between IgAN and non IgAN. Thirdly,the level of serum IgA and IgA/C3 have significant deference be-tween the patients with Lee Ⅰ-Ⅱ grading and the patients with Lee Ⅲ-Ⅴ grading,while the level of C3 is very similar between different groups in all the three situations mentioned above. Conclusion Our research provides stronge evidence demonstrates that the level of serum IgA/C3 ratio have close relationship with IgAN and they can serve as the reference index when diagnosising and grading IgAN.

Objective Comprehensive standards of active implantable medical devices with high risks are required by China's current industrial development, and standard problems and ideas are discussed in this paper.Methods Analysis of the status of China's active implantable medical device standards and international standards. For the booming field for active implantable medical devices with high risks, international standard’s problems, ideas and trends are analyzed. Results Bottleneck of the development of China's active implantable medical device standards is the lack of Chinese medical devices industry actual independent research and development capability. China's independent standard research on the basis of independent core technology of active implantable medical devices is the opportunity to promote the internationalization of China standard.Conclusion Improving the standards of active implantable medical devices based on independent core technology, combined with problems of existing international standards, to further improve and develop international standards and lead high level international technical standards.

The beta-secretase is one of prospective targets against Alzheimer's disease (AD). A three-dimensional quan titative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model of Hydroethylamines (HEAs) as beta-secretase inhibitors was established using Topomer CoMFA. The multiple correlation coefficient of fitting, cross validation and external validation were r2 = 0.928, q(loo)2 = 0.605 and r(pred)2 = 0.626, respectively. The 3D-QSAR model was used to search R groups from ZINC database as the source of structural fragments. As a result, a series of R groups with relatively high activity contribution was obtained to design a total of 15 new compounds, with higher activity than that of the template molecule. The molecular docking was employed to study the interaction mode between the new compounds as ligands and beta-secretase as receptors, displaying that hydrogen bond and hydrophobicity played important roles in the binding affinity between the new compounds and beta-secretase. The results showed that Topomer CoMFA and To pomer Search could be effectively used to screen and design new molecules of HEAs as beta-secretase inhibitors, and the designed compounds could provide new candidates for drug design targeting AD.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided percutaneous tube drainage in early acute pancreatitis of closed abdominal injury. Methods The clinical data about fifteen ca.ses of acute pancreatitis of closed abdominal injury in our hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Results By ultrasound-guided percutaneous tube drainage, 11 cases were cured, 2 cases were drainaged by open operation with the complication of pancreatic pseudocyst, 2 eases were transfered to superior hospital with state of an illness sharpened. Conclusion Ultrasoundguided percutaneous tube drainage was effective treatment in early acute pancreatitis of dosed abdominal injury,and avoided open operation.
