Autophagy is the main degradation and recycling pathway for abnormal aggregates and damaged organelles in cells,and it maintains the normal metabolic balance and material renewal in cells.Autophagy has neuroprotective effects and can affect the functional state of the nervous system by regulating homeostasis,development,apoptosis,and other physiological processes of neurons and glial cells.In recent years,a large number of studies have shown that nervous system diseases are closely related to abnormal autophagy,and inhibition or overactivation of autophagy affects the occurrence and development of depression,neurodegenerative diseases,and schizophrenia.Understanding the mechanisms of autophagy in nervous system diseases is of great significance for their prevention and treatment.This paper mainly reviews the current progress of autophagy research and the above diseases of the nervous system,providing a reference for further research into these diseases.

Background/Aims:
Ubiquitination is widely involved in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by regulating various cellular processes. However, systematic strategies for screening core ubiquitin-related genes, clarifying their functions and mechanisms, and ultimately developing potential therapeutics for patients with HCC are still lacking.
Methods:
Cox and LASSO regression analyses were performed to construct a ubiquitin-related gene prediction model for HCC. Loss- and gain-of-function studies, transcriptomic and metabolomics analysis were used to explore the function and mechanism of UBE2S on HCC cell glycolysis and growth.
Results:
Based on 1,423 ubiquitin-related genes, a four-gene signature was successfully constructed to evaluate the prognosis of patients with HCC. UBE2S was identified in this signature with the potential to predict the survival of patients with HCC. E2F2 transcriptionally upregulated UBE2S expression by directly binding to its promoter. UBE2S positively regulated glycolysis in a HIF-1α-dependent manner, thus promoting the proliferation of HCC cells. Mechanistically, UBE2S enhanced K11-linkage polyubiquitination at lysine residues 171 and 196 of VHL independent of E3 ligase, thereby indirectly stabilizing HIF-1α protein levels by mediating the degradation of VHL by the proteasome. In particular, the combination of cephalomannine, a small molecule compound that inhibits the expression of UBE2S, and PX-478, an inhibitor of HIF-1α, significantly improved the anti-tumor efficacy.
Conclusions
UBE2S is identified as a key biomarker in HCC among the thousands of ubiquitin-related genes and promotes glycolysis by E3 enzyme-independent ubiquitination, thus serving as a therapeutic target for the treatment of HCC.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the water extraction and ethanol precipitation technology of Zhuang medicine Baijin granules. METHODS :HPLC method was adopted to determine the content of bergenin in Baijin granules extract. The extraction routes of Baijin granules (water decoction ,70% ethanol reflux extraction ,water decoction combined with 70% ethanol reflux extraction)was screened primarily with the yield of extract and the experiment of reducing uric acid of mice. The orthogonal test was adopted to optimize water extraction technology of Baijin granules with water multiple ,extraction time and extraction times as factors,taking the extraction yield and the bergenin content as index ,then the validation test was carried out. The orthogonal test was adopted to optimize the alcohol precipitation process of Baijin granules including the relative density of medicinal materials , alcohol content and the alcohol precipitation time ,then the validation test was carried out. By the experiment of reducing uric acid , the effects of medicinal materials extract of Baijin granules extract were compared before and after ethanol precipitation. RESLUTS:Established method for content determination of bergenin with linearity range of 0.007 2-0.288 mg/mL,had good precision,reproducibility,stability and accuracy. The initially chosen extraction process of Baijin granules was water decoction extraction. The optimal water extraction technology was soaked for 0.5 h,then decocted for 3 times with 14-fold water (mL/g)and 1.0 h each time. The optimal ethanol precipitation process was to concentrate the water extract to a relative density of 1.0 g/mL with alcohol content of liquid at 60% and precipitated for 12 h. Validation tests showed that RSDs of extract yield and beragenin content were all lower than 2%(n=3). The experiment of pharmacodynamics showed that water extract (before ethanol precipitation )and water extract after alcohol precipitation could significantly decrease the level of uric acid in hyperuricemia model mice (P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in the reduction of uric acid between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS :The optimized water extraction technology can obtain good extract yield and bergenin content ,and combined with ethanol precipitation technology for removing excess impurities would not affect the pharmacodynamics. The water extraction and ethanol precipitation technology is feasible,and can be used for extracting the medicinal materials of Baijin granules and its edulcoration.

Objective:After general anesthesia and mechanical ventilation for laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, about 90% of patients would have different degrees of atelectasis. Authors speculated that an open-lung strategy (OLS) comprising moderate positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) and intermittent recruitment maneuvers (RM) can reduce atelectrauma and thus reduce the incidence of oxygenation-impairment during low-tidal-volume ventilation for laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection. The purpose of this study was to verify this hypothesis and provide a better intraoperative ventilation scheme for laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection.Methods:This was a prospectively randomized controlled clinical trial which was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University (2017ZSLYEC-002), and registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03160144). From January to July 2017, patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, with age > 40 years, estimated pneumoperitoneum time ≥ 1.5 h, pulse oxygen saturation ≥ 92%, and risk grade for postoperative pulmonary complications ≥ 2 were prospectively enrolled. The patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ≥ IV, body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m 2, pneumonia, acute respiratory failure or sepsis within 1 month, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary bullae and progressive neuromuscular diseases, and those participating in other interventional clinical trials were excluded. The enrolled patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to the OLS group (with a PEEP of 6-8 cm H 2O and intermittent RM), and the NOLS group (without using PEEP and RM). Partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO 2) /fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO 2) and shunt fraction (Q S/Q T) were calculated via arterial and central venous blood gas analysis performed at 0.5 h (T 1), 1.5 h (T 2) after pneumoperitoneum induction and at 20 min after admission to the recovery room. Driving pressure immediately before pneumoperitoneum induction (T 0) and at T 2 were calculated via monitoring data. The primary outcome was oxygenation-impairment (PaO 2/FiO 2 ≤ 300 mmHg) during mechanical ventilation. Results:In each group, 48 patients under general anesthesia and low-tidal-volume ventilation were included in the final analysis. During ventilation, the oxygenation-impairment occurred in 7 patients (14.6%) of OLS group and in 17 patients (35.4%) of NOLS group, whose difference was statistically significant between two groups (χ 2=5.556, RR=0.31, 95%CI: 0.12 to 0.84, P=0.033). During ventilation, the patients in the OLS group had higher PaO 2/FiO 2 [T 1: (427±103) mmHg vs. (366±109) mmHg, t=-2.826, P=0.006; T 2: (453±103) mmHg vs. (388±122) mmHg, t=-2.739, P=0.007], lower Q S/Q T [ T 1: (9.2±6.5) % vs. (12.6±7.7) %, t=2.322, P=0.022; T 2: (7.0±5.8)% vs.(10.9±9.2)%, t=2.408, P=0.019], and lower driving pressure [T 0: (6±3) cm H 2O vs. (10±2) cm H 2O, t=7.421, P<0.001; T 2: (13±3) cm H 2O vs. (17±4) cm H 2O, t=5.417, P<0.001] than those in the NOLS group, with stratistical differences in all comparisons. In recovery room, though PaO 2/FiO 2 [(70.3±9.4) mmHg vs. (66.8±9.4) mmHg, P=0.082] was still higher and Q S/Q T [(18.6±8.3)% vs. (21.8±8.4)%, P=0.070] was still lower in the OLS group as compared to the NOLS group, the differences were not statistically significant (both P>0.05). Conclusion:The application of such an OLS during low-tidal-volume ventilation can greatly reduce the incidence of oxygenation-impairment in laparoscopic colorectal cancer resection, and such effect may last to the period of emergence from anesthesia.
