RESUMO
Glioma has high incidence and poor prognosis. Glioma pathogenesis is the research hotspot and difficulty in related fields. N6-methyladenin (m6A) is closely related to glioma development, and m6A related proteins play important roles in glioma, which is a potential therapeutic target for glioma. In this paper, the upstream regulatory mechanism of m6A related proteins is reviewed, and the prospect of m6A related proteins as diagnostic markers and potential therapeutic targets for glioma is discussed.
RESUMO
The treatment of central nervous system diseases has always been a hot topic,owning to its complexity and existence of blood-brain barrier.In recent years,studies on mesenchymal stem cells-derived exosomes (MSCs-EVS) showed that MSCs-EVS are not only potential therapeutic drugs for central nervous system diseases,but also natural carriers of therapeutic drugs due to their good biocompatibility and ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.This paper reviews the application and underling mechanism of MSCs-EVS in treatment of central nervous system diseases,and looks forward to its applications in central nervous system disease.
RESUMO
Retrospective analysis of 18 cases of occupational acute 1, 2-dichloroethane (1, 2-DCE) poisoning. The results showed that all patients have the main manifestations such as dizziness, headache, unresponsiveness and other symptoms of nervous system damage; Brain CT showed varying degrees of diffuse white matter lesions. Brain MRI showed extensive involvement of white matter in both cerebral hemispheres. Affected white matter area presented low intensity on T1WI, hyperintensity on T2WI and T2-Flair; Lumbar puncture examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure (262.5±48.39) mm H2O; After treatment, the required time for CSF pressure to restore was (161.56±75.27) days (50-280) days. Summary, Occupational acute 1, 2-DCE poisoning caused by toxic encephalopathy can be manifested as persistent abnormalities in CSF pressure, and the CSF pressure drops slowly during treatment; Early head CT and lumbar puncture examination will be helpful for early detection of intracranial pressure in toxic encephalopathy caused by acute 1, 2-DCE poisoning. Dynamic monitoring of CSF provides guidance for acute 1, 2-DCE poisoning with a long time of treatment and various types of dehydrating agents.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical features, diagnosis and treatment of acute poisoning caused by colchicine. METHODS: The clinical data of 3 cases of acute colchicine poisoning were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: All the 3 cases had a clear history of colchicine overdose, at the doses of 30.0, 50.0 and 58.5 mg. These 3 cases had different degree of gastrointestinal symptoms, bone marrow restrain, rhabdomyolysis, myocardial damage and liver damage. After treatment, case 1 and case 2 were discharged. Case 3 had a long history of oral intake of colchicine. Severe metabolic acidosis and abnormal coagulation function occurred in the early stage, and the condition was dangerous. Despite active rescue treatments including blood purification, glucocorticoid, coagulation factors, liver pretection, heart protection and water electrolyte correction, death could not be prevented after taking colchicine 89 hours later.CONCLUSION: There is no specific antidote for colchicine poisoning. The prognosis is poor if there is severe metabolic acidosis and abnormal blood coagulation in early stage.
RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the clinical characteristics and regular patterns of subacute 1, 2-dichloroethane poisoning patients for providing evidences to it's diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>51 cases of subacute 1, 2-dichloroethane poisoning analyzed. They were divided into 3 groups according to their main clinical manifestation: group A mainly with intracranial hypertension (n = 25), group B with limbs tremor (n = 18), group C with mental and behavior disorder (n = 8). All cases' clinical symptoms, cranial computer tomography, cerebrospinal pressure (Group A) were observed, the durations of the onset, deterioration, improvement, recovery and whole course of the disease were compared between groups and in each group.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>In all of 51 cases, only the differences between the deterioration duration of cranial CT and symptom was significantly (t = 2.555, P<0.05), which indicate the deterioration of symptom was earlier than radiological change. The symptom deterioration of group C was the fastest than group A and group B (P<0.00). As to the change of symptom duration, group B's improvement, recovery and whole course was the longest comparing with group A and group C (P<0.05). As to the change of cranial CT duration, group B's recovery duration was the shortest and group A's recovery duration was the longest (P<0.01); group B's whole course was also the shortest and group A's whole course was the longest (P<0.05). The clinical course of symptoms, cranial computer tomography, cerebrospinal pressure (Group A) was compared in each group, in group A, the duration of improvement and whole course of the cranial CT and cerebrospinal pressure change was longer than that of the symptom change (P<0.01), this indicated that group A has longer asymptomatic intracranial hypertension and their cranial radiography recover slowly. In group B, their symptoms (3.94 ± 4.31 days) deteriorated is earlier than cranial CT changes (P<0.05), the recovery (92.39 ± 55.04 days) and whole course of symptom was longer than cranial CT change (all P<0.01). In group C, symptom deterioration was earlier than CT deterioration (P< 0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The clinical characteristic of subacute 1, 2- dichloroethane poisoning is central nervous system damage, it differs according to the different stage of course, the regions and severity of pathology lesions.</p>

To study the attachment, proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells (NSCs) on surface modified PHBHHx films and to establish the theory of PHBHHx application in NSCs-based brain tissue engineering. PHBHHx film was fabricated by a solution-casting method, and the morphology of the film was observed under scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The films were treated by NaOH or lipase, then the surface hydrophilic property was characterized using water contact angle measurement. NSCs were isolated from the cerebral cortex of rat embryos on embryonic day 14.5, and cultured on surface treated PHBHHx films. The morphology of NSCs attached on the film was visualized under SEM, and the survival and differentiation of NSCs were observed through immunocytochemical staining. Compared with the untreated PHBHHx films, the water contact angle of NaOH or lipase treated PHBHHx films decreased dramatically, and the number of NSCs attached significantly increased. NSCs survived well on treated PHBHHx films and differentiated into neurons and glial cells. The amelioration of hydrophilic property of PHBHHx film improved its biocompatibility with NSCs. PHBHHx can serve as a novel CNS tissue engineering biomaterial applied for NSCs transplantation, brain repairing and regeneration.
