Application of multi-modal neuroimaging three-dimensional reconstruction and virtual reality in neurosurgical specialists training / 中华医学教育探索杂志

Neurosurgery is considered as one of the most difficult areas in the field of medicine, and the complexity of nervous system is a leading cause. Therefore, it demands neurosurgeons possess basic knowledge, spatial thinking, and practical experiences. Here, we introduce a rapid developing technique applying multi-modal neuroimaging reconstruction and virtual reality, which constitutes a novel learning model for boosting the growth of neurosurgeons. The incorporation of multi-modal neuroimaging and virtual reality builds a bridge from two-dimensional image to actual surgical view. Neurosurgeons are able to perform surgical planning and simulation with naked eyes under the constructed three-dimensional hologram. The technique also provides evidence of accurate localization and guidance for operation. Therefore, multi-modal neuroimaging reconstruction and virtual reality are expected to tremendously promote the progress of young trainees, and can further enhance their all-round abilities. In short, this revolutionary learning model would impact the neurosurgical specialists training profoundly.

Change of Notch1 expression level on the surface of myeloma cells in multiple myeloma patients and its clinical significance / 白血病·淋巴瘤

Objective:To investigate the dynamic change of Notch1 expression level on the surface of myeloma cells in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) and its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 38 patients with MM in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from April 2013 to July 2019 were selected. At the same time, 18 patients with mild iron deficiency anemia were selected as controls. Flow cytometry was used to detect Notch1 expression levels on the surface of myeloma cells for MM patients at the first diagnosis (before the treatment), in remission stage (the time of best effect during the treatment) and in the advanced stage (disease progression), and on the surface of normal plasma cells of the control group. The therapeutic efficacy was analyzed, and the expression levels of Notch 1 were compared among the different stages of MM patients and the control group.Results:Among 38 MM patients, 6 cases (15.8%) had strict complete remission (sCR), 14 cases (36.8%) had complete remission (CR), 10 cases (26.3%) had very good partial remission (VGPR), 6 cases (15.8%) had partial remission (PR), 2 cases (5.3%) died after the first course of treatment. Notch 1 detection was performed in 36 patients. The expression rate of Notch1 on the surface of myeloma cells at the first diagnosis, in remission stage, and in the advanced stage of MM patients and on the surface of normal plasma cells of the control group was (13.1±3.9)%, (2.7±1.2)%, (5.4±1.7)% and (2.1±0.3)%; the difference was statistically significant ( F = 151.4, P < 0.01). The expression rate of Notch1 in MM patients at the first diagnosis and in advanced stage was higher than that in remission stage (all P < 0.01), while the expression rate of Notch1 on the surface of myeloma cells in remission stage was higher than that on the surface of normal plasma cells in the control group ( t = 2.219, P = 0.038). Conclusion:The Notch1 signaling pathway may play an important role in the occurrence and development of MM, and Notch1 detection has a certain guiding significance for the monitoring, treatment and prognosis assessment of MM.

Progression of basic research, clinical application of photodynamic therapy and fluorescence-guided surgery in glioma treatment / 中南大学学报(医学版)

The prognosis of glioma remains poor because of the infiltrative nature and the high local relapse rate.The current goals for patients with gliomas is maximal safe resection and adjuvant therapy.Tumor-specific photosensitizer,such as hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA),can be selective up-taken and accumulated in tumor tissue.Light with appropriate wavelength can penetrate tumor tissue and excite the photosensitizer.The excited photosensitizer within glioma cells permits fluorescence visualization of tumor tissue during surgery and has been introduced in treatment of glioma as fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS).On the other hand,the toxicity of singlet oxygen generated by the excited photosensitizer has been used as photodynamic therapy (PDT) in selective destruction of the tumor.Some reports demonstrated the usefulness of adding PDT as an intraoperative adjuvant therapy,but the complexity associated with its implementation and the introduction of TMZ prevented PDT from becoming a routine therapy.However,FGS using 5-ALA in patients with malignant brain tumors has surfaced globally and may become a useful tool in increasing the extent of resection in gliomas.

Transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells from polycythemia vera patients into aplastic anemia mice / 中国组织工程研究

BACKGROUND:As the high proliferation and low apoptosis of the bone marrow in polycythemia vera patients, hematopoietic stem cels transplanted into NOD/SCID mice can differentiate into erythroid cels, but whether hematopoietic stem cels transplantation could improve the hematopoietic function of aplastic anemia mice is not yet reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate whether transplantation of bone marrow mononuclear cels with JAK2V617F mutation from polycythemia vera patients can influence hematopoietic reconstruction in aplastic anemia mice. METHODS:Severe aplastic anemia mouse models were established by using recombinant human interferon-γplus busulfan, and then, these mouse models were randomly divided into experimental group (n=10) and control group (n=10). Bone marrow mononuclear cels isolated from polycythemia vera patients with positive JAK2V617F mutation were transplanted into the mice in the experimental group via tail vein at 5 days after drug withdrawal.The same volume of normal saline was administered to the control group. Routine peripheral blood test, morphology of bone marrow cels, bone marrow biopsy, and percentage of CD45+ cels in the peripheral blood and marrow were determined at 14 days after transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 14 days after transplantation, pancytopenia occurred in the experimental group, bone marrow smears showed scattered lymphocytes and hematopoietic progenitors, and bone marrow biopsy presented that hematopoietic tissues were reduced and a smal amount of granulocyte cels and erythroblasts could be seen, but megakaryocytes were rare. In contrast to the control group, there was no improvement in the hematopoietic function of mice in the experimental group. CD45+ cels were detectable in the peripheral blood and bone marrow in the experimental group, but not in the control group; and a higher percentage of CD45+ cels was measured in the bone marrow than in the peripheral blood of experimental group mice. Experimental findings indicate that bone marrow mononuclear cels from polycythemia vera patients with positive JAK2V617F mutation can be engrafted into aplastic anemia mice, but cannot improve the hematopoietic function of mice.

L-carnitine inhibits eryptosis induced by uremic serum / 中国病理生理杂志

[ ABSTRACT] AIM: To investigate whether L-carnitine ( LC) inhibits the eryptosis effect of uremic serum on erythrocytes.METHODS:Erythrocyte suspension (2%) was cultured and divided into 3 groups in vitro: control group ( C group) , uremic serum group ( U group, 30%uremic serum) , and uremic serum+LC group ( L group, 30%uremic serum+200 μmol/L LC) .Erythrocytes were collected at 24 h and 48 h.Eryptosis ( phosphatidylserine expression repre-sents eryptosis) was estimated by flow cytometry with Annexin V staining.The content of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) was also detected.Glutathione ( GSH) was measured by ELISA.RESULTS:Eryptosis in C group was increased as the in-cubating time extended.Eryptosis in U group was higher than that in C group, while that in L group was lower than that in U group.Meanwhile, ROS content was higher and GSH was lower in U group than those in C group.ROS content was low-er and GSH was higher in L group than those in C group.CONCLUSION:LC inhibits uremic serum-induced eryptosis by decreasing ROS and increasing GSH, thus attenuating oxidative stress.

Study of Rhizoma Coptidis alkaloids on promoting sleep in mice / 中国药理学通报

Aim To study the hypnotic effect of five alkaloids extracted from Rhizoma Coptidis (berberine , coptisine,palmatine,epiberberine,jatrorrhizine )in mice,and preliminarily explore its underlying mecha-nism.Methods The experiments of locomotor activity and hypnosis induced by suprathreshold and subthresh-old doses of pentobarbital sodium were used to evaluate the effect of drugs on sleep behavior in mice.Then, HPLC-FLD was used to detect the contents of NE,DA and 5-HT on PCPA mice model.Results Compared with control group,berberine and coptisine notably in-hibited spontaneous activity in behavioral experiments (P <0.05),and increased the sleeping percentage of mice under subthreshold dose of pentobarbital sodium. Berberine and coptisine shortened the period of sleep latency,and prolonged the sustained period of sleeping at suprathreshold dose in mice (P <0.05 or P <0.01 ).Other alkaloids had no significant differences in sleep latency and period of sleep observed in this current experiment.Compared with PCPA mice model group,berberine and coptisine remarkably increased the contents of NE and 5-HT (P <0.01 ),but they had no effects on DA.Conclusions Berberine and coptisine may play a sedative and hypnotic role in PC-PA mice by increasing contents of 5-HT and NE in hy-pothalamus,and the sedative and hypnotic effects of berberine are stronger than those of coptisine.Other alkaloids have no effects on sleeping in mice.

Objective To evaluate the significance of platelet activation and the expression of inter-leukin (IL)-1β in patients with RA. Methods The activation of platelets and the expression of IL-1β in pla-telets in 50 RA patients(22 high-active, 28 mediate/low active ) and 30 normal controls were determined us-ing flow cytometry. Meanwhile, inflammatory indicators such as erythrocyte sedimentation(ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and DAS28 were also recorded. T test and correlation analysis were performed. Results The platelet activation in RA group(19.2±4.8) was higher than the control group(9.0±2.9)(t=10.5, P=0.001). The expression of IL-1β in platelets in RA group(41±11) was higher than control group(21±8)(t=9.01, P =0.000) .The platelet activation in high-active RA group(22 ±4) was higher than mediate/low active RA group(17 ±4)(t =3.96,P =0.001). The expression of IL-1β in platelets in high-active RA group(45 ±10) was higher than mediate/low active RA group (38 ±10)(t =2.329,P =0.024). The expression of IL-1β in platelets in RA group was positively correlated with the level of ESR、CRP and DAS28 (r value and P value were 0.576, 0.578, 0.618 and 0.000, 0.000, 0.000 respectively). Conclusion The platelets of patients with RA are activated and may suggest that IL-1β, which may associate with disease activity. Our research suggest that platelet may play a role in the inflammatory process of RA by secreting IL-1β.

To investigate the relationship between the structures of methylhesperetin-7-alkyl ether analogues and their anti-inflammatory activities, nine new compounds, methyl-hesperetin (2), methylhesperetin-7-ethyl ether (3), 7-n-butyl ether (4), 7-n-hexyl ether (5), 7-n-octyl ether (6), 7-n-decyl ether (7), 7-n-dodecyl ether (8), 7-n-tetradecyl ether (9) and 7-n-hexadecyl ether (10), were synthesized with the lead compound of methylhesperidin (1). Their structures were confirmed by UV, 1H NMR, MS and HR-MS spectral data. The in vivo antiinflammatory activities of these compounds were tested on mouse paw edema induced by Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) and mouse capillary permeability induced by acetic acid with po dose of 300 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1). The result indicated that the anti-inflammatory activities of the synthetic compounds increased firstly and then decreased with the elongating of the length of alkyl chain. After 25-day oral administration of compounds 6, 7 and 8, the inhibitory rates on mouse paw edema of adjuvant arthritis (AA) were 31.9%, 38.5%, 39.1%, respectively. They showed the concentrations of COX-2 in serum of AA mice respectively were 79.3, 75.4, 73.9 ng x L(-1) and the concentrations of PGE2 were in correspondence with 275.4, 258.9, 242.6 ng x L(-1). The inhibitory rates of compounds 6 and 7 on mouse capillary permeability induced by acetic acid were, respectively, 42.4% and 41.5% after 5-day oral administration. Compared with the lead compound of methylhesperidin, the anti-inflammatory activities of compounds 6, 7 and 8 were increased and showed an effective inhibition on the symptom of adjuvant arthritis and capillary permeability in mice.
