靶向测序诊断黑棘皮病1家系

【摘要】 报道临床症状不典型的家族性黑棘皮病1家系。先证者女，4岁，自1周岁时，颈部、腹部出现黑色斑片，近年来逐渐扩大至唇周、躯干前部。腹部皮肤全反式共聚焦显微镜检查可见乳头环下延扭曲及沟壑结构，乳头环内可见中高折光颗粒结构。先证者父亲及祖母既往有类似病史，但随着年龄增长色素沉着自发性消退，仅有局部皮纹增粗。采集先证者及父母、祖母外周血，对先证者外周血DNA行Panel靶向测序，结果显示，先证者存在FGFR3基因14号外显子c.1949A>C（p.Lys650Thr）错义突变，Sanger测序验证证实先证者及其父亲和祖母均存在此突变。诊断：家族性黑棘皮病。     

Lycium barbarum extract promotes M2 polarization and reduces oligomeric amyloid-β-induced inflammatory reactions in microglial cells

Lycium barbarum(LB)is a traditional Chinese medicine that has been demonstrated to exhibit a wide variety of biological functions,such as antioxidation,neuroprotection,and immune modulation.One of the main mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease is that microglia activated by amyloid beta(Aβ)transform from the resting state to an M1 state and release pro-inflammatory cytokines to the surrounding environment.In the present study,immortalized microglial cells were pretreated with L.barbarum extract for 1 hour and then treated with oligomeric Aβfor 23 hours.The results showed that LB extract significantly increased the survival of oligomeric Aβ-induced microglial cells,downregulated the expression of M1 pro-inflammatory markers(inducible nitric oxide synthase,tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1β),and upregulated the expression of M2 anti-inflammatory markers(arginase-1,chitinase-like protein 3,and interleukin-4).LB extract also inhibited the oligomeric Aβ-induced secretion of tumor necrosis factorα,interleukin-6,and interleukin-1βin microglial cells.The results of in vitro cytological experiments suggest that,in microglial cells,LB extract can inhibit oligomeric Aβ-induced M1 polarization and concomitant inflammatory reactions,and promote M2 polarization.     

NMDA受体拮抗剂作为快速起效抗抑郁药物的研究进展

目前临床使用的传统抗抑郁药需要连续用药2-3周才能起效,不能有效的降低患者在抑郁症状发作期的自杀风险,对抑郁症患者非常不利。因此,抗抑郁药研发的热点集中在开发能快速改善抑郁患者症状发作期的自杀企图和自杀行为的药物。研究表明,NMDA受体拮抗剂对患者的抑郁症状有迅速的缓解作用,且维持较长时间。本文对快速起效抗抑郁药的研究进展作一综述,重点探讨NMDA受体系统在抗抑郁药中研究进展。     

mGluR6对大鼠胚胎神经干细胞生物学功能的影响

目的:探讨代谢型谷氨酸受体6(mGluR6)对大鼠胚胎神经干细胞生物学功能的影响。方法:利用MTT比色法分析mGluR6过表达载体、mGluR6siRNA在不同时间对大鼠胚胎神经干细胞活力的影响,神经球测量方法分析mGluR6对大鼠神经球增殖的影响,流式细胞术分析mGluR6对大鼠NSCs细胞周期及凋亡的影响。结果:MTT结果表明,在处理24h,48h和72h后,过表达mGluR6显著增强大鼠NSCs的细胞活力,促进NSCs增殖,神经球直径显著增大;mGluR6siRNA抑制大鼠NSCs的增殖。过表达mGluR6后,与对照组相比G1/G0期和细胞比率显著下降,S期细胞比率显著上升,促进了细胞G1到S期转换;沉默mGluR6后,G1/G0期和细胞比率显著增加,S期细胞比率显著下降,抑制了大鼠NSCs细胞G1到S期转换。应用流式细胞术显示,过表达mGluR6 48h后,大鼠NSCs细胞早凋和晚凋均显著下降;沉默mGluR6显著诱导大鼠NSCs的早凋和晚凋。结论:mGluR6可促进大鼠胚胎神经干细胞的增殖,抑制NSCs凋亡。     

2型糖尿病患者正常范围尿白蛋白与肌酐比值和高血压风险的相关性研究

目的：评估2型糖尿病患者正常范围尿白蛋白与肌酐比值（urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio,UACR）与高血压风险的相关性。方法：本研究纳入1 309例中国台湾李氏联合诊所定期随访的2型糖尿病患者，随访3～12年（平均6年）。根据UACR的四分位数水平将患者分为第1分位组即UACR<5.87 mg/g组（n=320）、第2分位组即5.87 mg/g≤UACR≤9.55 mg/g组（n=341）、第3分位组即9.56 mg/g≤UACR≤16.27 mg/g组（n=321）和第4分位组即16.27mg/g 相似文献
