The formation of learning and memory is regulated by synaptic plasticity in hippocampal neurons. Here we explored how gestational exposure to dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid commonly used in clinical practice, has lasting effects on offspring's learning and memory. Adult offspring rats of prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) displayed significant impairments in novelty recognition and spatial learning memory, with some phenotypes maintained transgenerationally. PDE impaired synaptic transmission of hippocampal excitatory neurons in offspring of F1 to F3 generations, and abnormalities of neurotransmitters and receptors would impair synaptic plasticity and lead to impaired learning and memory, but these changes failed to carry over to offspring of F5 and F7 generations. Mechanistically, altered hippocampal miR-133a-3p-SIRT1-CDK5-NR2B signaling axis in PDE multigeneration caused inhibition of excitatory synaptic transmission, which might be related to oocyte-specific high expression and transmission of miR-133a-3p. Together, PDE affects hippocampal excitatory synaptic transmission, with lasting consequences across generations, and CDK5 in offspring's peripheral blood might be used as an early-warning marker for fetal-originated learning and memory impairment.

Volume loss caused by aging process, diseases, trauma and surgical treatments, could lead to facial depressions, profoundly affecting appearance. Injectable fillers could help to correct this type of disfigurements and are preferred by plastic surgeons and patients due to their quality of minimal invasiveness and better delicateness. Among these fillers, collagen stimulators such as poly-L-lactic acid(PLLA) and polycaprolactone(PCL) are biodegradable synthetic polymers that can stimulate collagen formation and thus gradually restore tissue volume. These polymers have been used worldwide to treat facial aging changes and human immunodeficiency virus-associated facial fat lipoatrophy, demonstrating ideal results in volume enhancement and facial rejuvenation. The progress and clinical applications of compound injectables based on biodegradable collagen stimulators are summarized.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of Fms-like tyrosine kinase3, intenal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) detection by DNA extracted from stored bone marrow slides in chemical method. Methods Trace DNA was extracted from 58 bone marrow slides which were stored for 1-5 years below 20 ℃, including 48 patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 10 controls without hematologic malignancies. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the FLT3-ITD of these bone marrow slides samples. Results There were 6 patients of FLT3-ITD+ detected in these 48 AML patients (12.5 %, 6/48). No FLT3-ITD was found in 10 healthy controls. AML patients with FLT3-ITD+ had low complete time compared with FLT3-ITD-patients (x2= 7.274, P= 0.007). Splenohepatomegalia and FLT3 mutation were the risk factors affecting AML patients with CR after the first chemotherapy (OR= 7.2, P=0.12; OR=36.3, P=0.10). FLT3-ITD was a risk factor of poor prognosis in patients with newly diagnosed AML (RR=9.088, P= 0.029). Conclusion Extraction of AML bone marrow slides trace DNA by using chemical method can be widely applied in clinic and is a key experimental way to study the molecular biology retrospectively. Furthermore, the detection of FLT3-ITD by trace DNA extracted from stored bone marrow slides can be used to predict the prognosis of AML.

OBJECTIVE:
This study was designed to explore the risk factors associated with severity of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.
METHOD:
A retrospective study was conducted to study determinants of severe forms of juvenile recurrent onset respiratory papillomatosis. The patients were separated into different groups based on the onset age, the first recurrence of age, the first recurrence of period, gender and incision of tracheal respectively. The relationship among the lesion severity score,the involvement of the subregion, operation period and the next operation period were also explored.
RESULT:
It was observed that some children who recurred before 4 years old required more surgery, shorter operation period(the average, longest or shortest operation period) than those elder children, the differences were statistically (P=0. 029, 0. 003, 0. 010, 0. 039, respectively). The severity score of lesion was correlated positively with the involvement of the subregion and negatively with operation period (r=0. 914, -0. 451, respectively). Some children who diagnosed before 4 years old had to endure more severity score and shorter operation period than those older children, the differences were statistically (P= 0. 036, 0. 000, respectively). 8 cases accepted incision of tracheal, they accepted more surgery too. But the differences in the onset age, the first recurrence of age, and the operation period were not statistically.
CONCLUSION
The results showed that the clinical course of juvenile onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis was closely related to the first recurrence age and period, while the severity of disease was associated to the onset age and the involvement of the subregion.
