Major depressive disorder(MDD)is a mental disease characterized by persistent depression,lack of interest and impaired cognitive function.Antidepressants currently availablein clinic are effective but accompanied by many adverse reactions,such as slow onset,cognitive impairment,sexual dysfunction.Therefore,novel antidepressant targets and therapeutic strategies with rapid onset of action,cognitive enhancement and low adverse effects have increasingly become a promising sphere of research.Studies have suggested that Sigma-1 receptor plays an important role in combating depression by regulating inflammatory response,excitation/inhibition balance and endoplasmic reticulum homeostasis.Moreover,Sigma-1 receptor agonists may have the advantages of rapid onset,enhanced cognition and low adverse reactions,which show good prospects for the development of new antidepressants.This article reviews the research progress related to Sigma 1 receptors in the regulatory mechanism and treatments for depression in the hopes of providing new insights into new antidepressants.

【Objective:】 Using classic moral dilemma cases, this paper investigates the choice tendency of medical students when facing the moral dilemma, and analyzes their cognitive status and characteristics when facing the "moral dilemma", in order to provide effective enlightenment for optimizing the teaching cases of medical ethics. 【 Method:】 771 medical students in Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were investigated by electronic questionnaire and SPSS 20.0 for statistical description and statistical analysis. 【Result:】 In the emergency room doctors and transition scenes, medical students tend to the principle of maximum happiness, and in the ring track scene and pedestrian overpass scene, they tend to the principle of deontology; In the loop track scene and pedestrian overpass scene, boys are more inclined to deontological principles than girls, and undergraduates are more inclined to deontological principles than postgraduates, and the difference is statistically significant (P<0.05). 【Conclusion:】 Although medical students have different moral tendencies in different scenes, they generally do not agree with the practice of sacrificing one person to save five people. Especially when more rigorous sacrifice conditions cause greater moral pressure, the vast majority of medical students will tend to the latter between utilitarianism and deontological principles.

Cerebral hemorrhage is one of the refractory diseases which seriously endangers the safety of human life. Immune and inflammatory reaction participate in the whole process of cerebral hemorrhage, which can destroy the blood-brain barrier, accelerate brain edema, at the same time start and amplify the oxidative stress reaction, and aggravate the nerve function damage. After cerebral hemorrhage, many kinds of signal molecules are produced, which can activate the microglia and astrocytes around the hematoma, produce inflammatory factors and oxidizing mediators, and regulate the inflammatory response of the brain. Exploring the relationship between glial cell and immune, inflammatory responses is helpful to understand the mechanism of intracerebral hemorrhage intervention, find out a new target for the intervention of glial cells and develop new drugs and schemes for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To deveplope construct and validate a novel multiplex PCR system comprised of 30 Y-STR markers only with low and moderate mutation rates. Methods 30 Y-STRs characterized by low/moderate mutation rate and middle/high polymorphic was amplified simultaneously in a multiplex PCR system using the six color labeling fluorescence. PCR product was analyzed in a ABI 3500XL Genetic Analyzer. The accuracy, specifity, sensitivity and stability of the system and its validation on the mixtures were evaluated. Results The validation studies demonstrated that the system is a stable, accurate, and sensitive multiplex PCR system. The sensitivity was 0.0625ng DNA. Y-STR could be detection in a male/female DNA mixture ratio of 1:4. Conclusion The primary study demonstrates that this multiplex PCR system is effective and reliable for forensic routine DNA analysis. It will be very helpful for constructing Chinese forensic Y-STR database and population genetic research.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of bile reinfusion via nasojejunal tube on liver function after biliary tract surgery. Methods Eighty patients with biliary tract surgery and bile outer drainage were divided into bile reinfusion group and control group by random digits table method with 40 cases each. The clinical data concerning the liver function and volume of biliary drainage were collected. Results The patients were well tolerated for bile reinfusion, and abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting occurred in some patients. The symptoms improved significantly after symptomatic treatment. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) levels at the fifth day after operation in bile reinfusion group were significantly reduced than those in control group:(31 ± 18) U/L vs. (48 ± 32) U/L and (51 ± 32)μmol/L vs. (76 ± 38)μmol/L, the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and ALT levels at the seventh day after operation in bile reinfusion group were significantly reduced than those in control group: (32 ± 19) U/L vs. (43 ± 26) U/L and (20 ± 19) U/L vs. (31 ± 22) U/L, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The volume of biliary drainage in the bile reinfusion group was significantly increased compared with that in control group at the third and fourth day after operation:(485 ± 52) ml vs. (428 ± 96) ml and (509 ± 62) ml vs. (458 ± 59) ml, and there was statistical difference (P<0.01). Conclusions Bile reinfusion via the nasojejunal tube may facilitate the recovery of liver function after biliary tract surgery.

Objective To provide the basic data for forensic application by analyzing the genotypes absence at DYS448 locus. Method 5487 bloodstain samples from unrelated male individuals of Chinese Han population were obtained. 4479 samples was co-amplified using Y-filerTM and AGCU Y-24 kits. 1008 samples was co-amplified using Yfiler PlusTM and AGCU Y-24 kits .Probability of genotype absence was calculated. Results 35 samples of 35 haplotypes among 5487 non-related individuals were found to have DYS448 genotypes absence ,while 2 individuals displayed additional alleles at else locus. Conclusion The probability of DYS448 genotype absence was 0.637%, forensic scientists should pay more attention in practical cases and YSTR database.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate mutations of 41 STR loci. Methods 4546 bloodstain samples were typed from 1932 father–mother–child trios by using AGCU_21+1, AGCU_EX22 and GlobalFiler_ExpressTM amplification Kit. Calculate the mutation rates of STR loci. Results 154 mutations were identified at 32 of the 41 loci. The average mutation rate was 1.0×10-3per locus(95%CI: 0.8~1.1×10-3), and the mutations of SE33 was highest. 152(98.7%) mutation events were one-step mutation, 2(1.3%) events were two-steps. The mutation events occurred in 150 father–mother–child triplets. The mutations in 146(97.3%) triplets occurred at single locus, 8 mutations were observed at two loci in 4(2.7%) triplets simultaneously. 104 paternal and 22 maternal mutations could be determined under 79212 paternal and maternal allelictransfers. The ratio of paternal versus maternal mutations was 4.7:1, and 28 unassigned mutations were observed. Conclusion STR mutation are common in paternity testing, and we should pay more attention to it.

Objective To compare the effect of silica-extraction method and Silico membrane based method in DNA purification from bones and teeth.Methods DNA samples were purified respectively with the silica-extraction method and MinElute PCR Purification kit from 6 bones and 8 teeth,then tested STR types by GlobalFiler? kits. And evaluated the two methods with the success rate and the peak height. Results Both of the two purification methods can successfully obtain the STR markers of the 14 samples. And there was no statistical difference between the two methods in the average peak height from bones and teeth. Conclusion The Silico membrane based method which have more advantages in operation is an efficient method to purify DNA from bones and teeth, and there is no significant difference compared with the silica-extraction method. But the cost is higher. It can be selectively used in forensic practice.
