Exploration of ethical issues in neuroimaging data sharing / 中国医学伦理学

In recent years， countries around the world have invested a lot of resources in neuroimaging research on brain function and diseases. The abundant and more easily accessible neuroimaging data will have a profound impact on the research of cognitive neuroscience and psychiatry， thereby assisting the development of the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases. At present， neuroimaging data sharing is gradually becoming a trend， but it is also worth considering of some unique ethical issues that come with it. Therefore， from the four shared entities of the public， researchers， users， and data centers， this paper sorted out the ethical issues in neuroimaging data sharing， and deeply analyzed the reasons for these issues. Based on the responsibility ethics and combined with the guidance of the Belmont principles， governance responses were proposed， including strengthening the construction of neuroethics committees， improving informed consent models， building data sharing infrastructure， establishing data privacy protection mechanisms， and introducing regulatory protections， to provide a certain reference for promoting the neuroimaging data sharing and maximizing the contribution of participants.

Effect of human growth hormone releasing hormone receptor splice variant type 1 on proliferation of human liver cancer HepG2 cells / 吉林大学学报(医学版)

Objective:To investigate the effect of human growth hormone releasing hormone receptor splice variant type 1 (GHRHR SV1) on the proliferation of human liver cancer HepG2 cells,and to clarify the proliferation effect of GHRHR SV1 on the human cancer cells.Methods:The GHRHR SV1 plasmids were transfected into the human HepG2 cells to construct the HepG2-SV1 cell line.HepG2 group(HepG2 cells),HepG2-empty group(HepG2-pcDNA3.0 cell line) and HepG2-SV1 group(HepG2-SV1 cells) were set up.PCR and Western blotting methods were used to identify the HepG2-SV1 cell line;CCK-8 method was used to detect prolifernation rate of cells;colony formation assay was used to detect the colony formation rate of cells;cell wound healing assay was used to evaluate the migration rate of cells.Results:The PCR and Western blotting results showed the HepG2-SV1 cell line expressed GHRHR SV1 steadily.The CCK-8 results showed that the proliferation rate of the HepG2-SV1 cells in HepG2-SV1 group was higher than that of the HepG2-pcDNA3.0 cells in HepG2-empty group(P<0.05).The colony formation assay results showed that the colony formation rate of HepG2-SV1 cells in HepG2-SV1 group was 3.5 times higher than that of the HepG2-pcDNA3.0 cells in HepG2-empty group(P<0.05).The cell wound scratch assay results showed that the migration rate of the HepG2-SV1 cells in HepG2-SV1 group was higher than that of the HepG2-pcDNA3.0 cells in HepG2-empty group(P<0.05).Conclusion:GHRHR SV1 could increase the proliferation of HepG2 cells.

Study of NT-1 in Promoting the Recovery Mechanism in MCAO Model / 现代医院

Objective To explore the study of NT-1 promote recovery mechanisms after cerebral ischemia.Methods 30 ICR mice were equally divided into NT-1 and BSA groups and respectively given NT-1 and BSA injection in the brain.The middle cerebral artery ischemia model was established with suture method.NRSS score and beam-walking test were used to exam the behavior performance after MCAO.Immnuohischemstry was used to evaluate the status of angiogenesis and apoptosis.Results Compared to the BSA group, NT-1 not only reduced the time on the beam-walking but the score of NRSS behavioristices.NT-1 also increased the number of vessels and reduced the number of apoptotic cells.Conclusion NT-1 cerebral injection can promote the recovery by increasing angiogenesis and inhibiting apoptosis.NT-1 is a promise target in the treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Characterization and Investigation of Reduction Capacity of Hydrophilic Organic Matter from Compost and its Influence Factors / 分析化学

Reduction capacity ( RC ) is an important index to evaluate the redox ability of dissolved organic matter. In order to determine the RC, hydrophilic organic fractions ( HyI ) isolated from dissolved organic matter extracted from the uncomposted and composted samples were used as electron donators and mediators, and three kinds of irons were chosen as electron acceptors. The results showed that, the RC values from the composted sample were 15. 88, 13. 41 and 51. 45 mmol e -/mol C for the electron acceptors Fe2(SO4)3, Fe(NO3)3 and FeCit, respectively, which were higher than the corresponding values (13. 45, 11. 77 and 43. 16 mmol e-/mol C) from the uncomposted sample. The electron acceptor type shows a dramatic influence on the RC value of HyI. The RC value determined by FeCit was obviously higher than that measured using Fe2( SO4 ) 3 and Fe( NO3 ) 3 , and the microbial reducing capacity of the HyI was lower than the corresponding native reducing capacity. By analyzing the special absorbencies ( SUVA254 and SUVA280 ) , absorbance ratios ( A2/A3 and A4/A6 ) and integrated area from UV-vis spectra, it can be found that the RC was affected by aromatic degree, unsaturated conjugated structure, and molecular weight. Excitation-emission matrix spectra coupled with regional integration analysis showed that the relative content of humic-like substances ( humic-like acids and fulvic-like acids) was the main factor influencing the RC value of HyI. The results obtained can be used to characterize the redox properties of HyI, and reveal its role in the transformation and degradation of pollutants during composting.

Signifinace of cyclin D1 expression in CNE2 cells processed by EGCG / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To study the expression of Cyclin D1 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells processed by epigallocatechin gallate(EGCG) and it's significance, and revealed the anti-tumor mechanism of EGCG against nasopharyngeal carcinoma.@*METHOD@#CNE-2 cells were treated by EGCG at different concentrations, the morphological changes of CNE-2 cells were observed by inverted microscope; the inhibition ratio of cell proliferation was detected by MTT colorimetric method, flow cytometry was used to analyze the changes of cell cycle. The expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.@*RESULT@#After treated by EGCG, the CNE2 cells decreased in amount and density, some of which became roll and small; Floating and dead cells can be seen in the inverted microscopy; cell proliferation was significantly inhibited in a time and dose dependent (P < 0.05). CNE-2 cells were arrested at G1/G0 phase. The expression of Cyclin D1 mRNA was down-regulated by EGCG with concentration and action time dependent (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#EGCG resisted nasopharyngeal carcinoma by inhibiting the cell proliferation, The down regulation of Cyclin D1 mRNA expression in a time and dose dependent may be the possible mechanisms.
