Remyelination Regulated by microRNAs in Neurodegenerative Diseases： A Review / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Demyelination of the central nervous system often occurs in neurodegenerative diseases， such as multiple sclerosis （MS）. The myelin sheath， a layer of myelin membrane wrapping the axon， plays a role in the rapid conduction and metabolic coupling of impulses for neurons. The exposure of the axon will lead to axonal degeneratio， and further neuronal degeneration， which is the main cause of dysfunction and even disability in patients with demyelinating neurodegenerative diseases. In addition to the demyelination of mature myelin sheath， remyelination disorder is also one of the major reasons leading to the development of the diseases. The myelin sheath is composed of oligodendrocytes （OLs） derived from oligodendrocyte progenitor cells （OPCs） which are differentiated from neural stem cells （NSCs）. The process of myelin regeneration， i.e.， remyelination， is the differentiation of NSCs into OLs. Recent studies have shown that this process is regulated by a variety of genes. MicroRNAs， as important regulators of neurodegenerative diseases， form a complex regulatory network in the process of myelin regeneration. This review summarizes the main molecular pathways of myelin regeneration and microRNAs involved in this process and classifies the mechanisms and targets. This review is expected to provide a theoretical reference for the future research on the treatment of demyelinating diseases by targeting the regulation of microRNAs.

Research advances in the early predictive factors for non-neoplastic portal vein thrombosis in liver cirrhosis / 临床肝胆病杂志

Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is one of the common complications in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis, including non-neoplastic PVT and portal vein tumor thrombus after the onset of primary liver cancer. It can lead to the deterioration of liver function, aggravate the portal hypertension-related adverse events including esophagogastric variceal bleeding, reduce the survival rate of patients after liver transplantation, and even threaten the life of patients in severe cases. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to further explore the risk factors and early predictive factors for PVT. This article elaborates on the recent advances in the early predictive factors for non-neoplastic PVT in liver cirrhosis from the aspects of the three elements of thrombosis, the severity of liver injury, and the endoscopic treatment of esophagogastric varices. The analysis of related research shows that some early predictive factors are clearly associated with the formation of PVT, which provides help for the early identification of PVT; however, specific predictive values may be unclear or have certain differences, which needs to be confirmed by multicenter prospective studies.

Transforming growth factor beta-1 promotes migration and invasion of ovarian epithelial carcinoma cells through TRAF6-mediated activation of Notch3 signaling pathway / 中国癌症杂志

Background and purpose: Abnormal expression and amplification of transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and Notch3 in ovarian carcinoma tissues are associated with metastasis and low survival rate, respectively. The crosstalk between TGF-β1 and Notch3 signaling pathway promotes invasion and metastasis in various cancers. However, the mechanism is still under debate. Therefore, this study was designed, using in vitro cytological assays, to investigate the effects of TGF-β1 and Notch3 signaling pathway on ovarian cancer cell biological behavior and the potential mechanisms in terms of the crosstalk between TGF-β1 and Notch3 signaling pathway. Methods: Hey A8 and Hey cell lines were used as models in the study. The levels of TGF-β1 in supernatants from culture media were measured by ELISA. Both cell lines were treated with 500 ng/mL TGF-β1 neutralizing antibody (control group), 10 ng/mL TGF-β1, 50 μmol/L DAPT, 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 and 50 μmol/L DAPT, 50 μmol/L tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) peptide inhibitor, 10 ng/mL TGF-β1 and 50 μmol/L TRAF6 peptide inhibitor, respectively. The protein expression levels of TGF-β1 and Notch3 signaling pathway molecules as well as TRAF6 from cell lines with different treatments were detected by Western blot. Cell proliferation, migration and invasion were tested by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), scratch and Transwell assays, respectively. Results: The levels of TGF-β1 were timedependently increased in supernatants of culture media from Hey A8 and Hey cell lines. Compared with control group, TGF-β1 treatment increased the expression levels of Notch3-ICD and Hes1, while no obvious change was observed in the group treated with DAPT and TGF-β1. Moreover, TGF-β1 promoted cell proliferation, migration and invasion while DAPT decreased the proliferation, migration and invasion in cell lines treated with TGF-β1. These results indicated that TGF-β1 might promote proliferation, invasion and migration of ovarian epithelial cancer cells through activating the Notch3 signaling pathway. Further study showed that TGF-β1 up-regulated TRAF6 and activated the Notch3 signaling pathway. The activation of the Notch3 signaling pathway by TGF-β1 was inhibited in cells treated with the TRAF6 specific inhibitor. Conclusions: TGF-β1 may promote the proliferation, invasion and migration of ovarian epithelial carcinoma cells through TRAF6-mediated activation of the Notch3 signaling pathway.

The prognostic correlation of serum sodium with BNP (brain natriuretic peptide), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF, LVEF≥0.45) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF, LVEF0.05) while other indicators like age, hemoglobin, serum sodium presents statistical significance (P 0.05);While for patients with HFpEF, the mortality and the readmission rates were both significantly different (P<0.05). Conclusion Serum sodium is the protective factor in CHF, the patients with hypona?tremia have higher readmission rate and death rate in HFpEF background.

In vitro activity of rifampin against and rpoB mutations in Chlamydia trachomatis clinical isolates / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective To evaluate the susceptibility of Chlamydia trachomatis clinical isolates to rifampin, and assess the relationship between rpoB mutations and antibiotic resistance in them.Methods A microculture method was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of rifampin in 52 Chlamydia trachomatis clinical isolates.The rpoB gene was amplified from all the clinical isolates and a standard strain of Chlamydia trachomatis followed by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP)analysis.Sequencing of PCR products was carried out for two clinical isolates.Results No rifampin-resistant strain was found among these clinical isolates.The MIC of rifampin varied from 0.004 to 0.030 mg/L Neither SSCP analysis nor sequencing showed rpoB mutations.Conclusions No rpoB mutations were found in Chlamydia trachomatis isolates from patients unresponsive to rifampin.The unresponsiveness to rifampin may be attributed to multiple factors.

Expressions of Twist and VEGF in epithelial ovarian cancer / 西安交通大学学报(医学版)

Objective To investigate the role of Twist and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)in the development of epithelial ovarian cancer and their relationship with clinical pathological features.Methods The expressions of Twist and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemical staining (SP)method in 80 cases of epithelial ovarian cancer and 10 paired cases of normal ovarian tissue.Results In the 80 cases of ovarian cancer tissues,the positive expression rate of Twist and VEGF in epithelial ovarian cancer was 85% and 86.25%,respectively,which were remarkably higher than those in normal ovarian tissues (P 0.05).There was a significant correlation between the expressions of Twist and VEGF in epithelial ovarian cancer (r =0.646,P <0.01).Conclusion The high expressions of Twist and VEGF may play a potential role in the occurrence,development and invasion process of epithelial ovarian cancer.
