RESUMO
Objective To observe the glymphatic system functional changes of bilateral cerebral hemispheres in early-stage Parkinson disease(PD)patients complicated with unilateral limb motor symptoms.Methods A total of 52 early-stage PD patients complicated with unilateral limb motor symptoms were prospectively enrolled,including 21 cases of left-onset PD(LPD group),31 cases of right-onset PD(RPD group).Meanwhile,28 healthy individuals were recruited as healthy controls(HC group).Clinical data and indices of diffusion tensor imaging analysis along the perivascular space(DTI-ALPS)were compared among 3 groups and between each 2 groups.The correlations of DTI-ALPS indices and clinical scales were analyzed.Results Significant difference of Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)score was found among 3 groups(P<0.05).HAMD score of LPD group and RPD group were higher than that of HC group(both P<0.017).There were significant differences of left and right cerebral hemispheres DTI-ALPS(DTI-ALPS_L,DTI-ALPS_R)indices among 3 groups(both P<0.05).DTI_ALPS_R in LPD group was lower than that in HC group(P<0.017),and DTI_ALPS_L in RPD group was lower than that in HC group(P<0.017).No obvious correlation of bilateral cerebral hemisphere DTI-ALPS indices with clinical scales was detected in PD patients(all P>0.05).Conclusion Like that of motor symptoms,glymphatic system dysfunction of PD patients had characteristics of laterality,manifested as DTI_ALPS_R decreased in LPD patients while DTI_ALPS_L decreased in RPD patients.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the sedative efficacy of S-ketamine combined with propofol for MRI examination in pediatric patients.Methods:One hundred children of both sexes, aged 1-6 yr, weighing 10-30 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, who underwent MRI from February to June 2021, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=50 each) by a random number table method: propofol group (P group) and S-ketamine plus propofol group (K+ P group). Anesthesia induction: propofol 2.5 mg/kg was intravenously injected in group P, and S-ketamine 0.5 mg/kg and propofol 1.5 mg/kg were intravenously injected in group K+ P.Anesthesia maintenance: propofol 100 μg·kg -1·min -1 was intravenously infused, and the infusion rate of propofol was adjusted to maintain Ramsay sedation score ≥5.Propofol 0.5-1.0 mg/kg was intravenously injected and/or increasing the infusion rate of propofol when moderate and severe movement occurred.The quality of MRI images was evaluated during the examination, and the occurrence and degree of movement, airway-related adverse events (hypoxemia, apnea, upper airway obstruction, hypersalivation), hypotension and bradycardia were recorded.The average infusion rate, consumption of additional propofol for intravenous administration and total consumption of propofol were recorded.The emergence time and time of anesthesia recovery room stay were recorded.The occurrence of adverse events (vomiting, diplopia and agitation) and the parents′ satisfaction with sedative efficacy and recovery were recorded during observation in the recovery room. Results:Compared with group P, the average infusion rate of propofol, total consumption of propofol, airway-related adverse events and incidence of hypotension and bradycardia were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the incidence and degree of body movement, quality of MRI images, emergence time and time of anesthesia recovery room stay and incidence of adverse events during recovery from anesthesia in group K+ P ( P>0.05). Conclusion:S-ketamine combined with propofol can be safely and effectively used in MRI examination in pediatric patients.
RESUMO
Insomnia, as the most common sleep disorder in the population, is often accompanied by depression, anxiety and other mental diseases, which can lead to impaired social and occupational functions as well as decreased quality of life. There is growing evidence that insomnia may be a risk factor for stroke. On the other hand, the incidence of insomnia in stroke patients is significantly higher than that in the general population. Correctly understanding the bidirectional relationship between insomnia and stroke can make clinicians pay more attention to insomnia and its treatment, and increase clinical benefit in patients with stroke and insomnia.
RESUMO
Objective To explore the correlation between thyroid function profiles and early onset of insomnia in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Methods This longitudinal observational cohort study prospectively enrolled 276 acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to the Department of Neurology,Jinling Hospital,Nanjing Medical University from May 2018 to May 2019. According to the diagnostic criteria for insomnia in international classification of sleep disorders, 3rd edition ( ICSD-3 ), stroke patients were divided into insomnia group (64patients) and non-insomnia group (212patients). Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to investigate the correlation between thyroid function profiles and early onset insomnia in early stroke and the difference of TSH levels between insomnia group and non-insomnia group in subgroup of patients with normal TSH. Results A total of 276 patients with acute ischemic stroke were included in the study. There were 64 patients (23.2%) in the insomnia group and 212 patients (76. 8% ) in the non-insomnia group. Serum TSH levels were higher in the insomnia group compared with the non-insomnia group (1.9 [ 1. 0, 3. 7[ mU/L is. 1. 6 [ 1. 0, 2.4[ mU/L, P = 0. 044). After adjusting for confounding factors by multivariate Logistic regression analysis,the results show that higher TSH level in serum was an independent risk factor for early new insomnia in patients with acute ischemic stroke (0/?, 1.214,95% CI 1.016-1.449,/> = 0. 032). In addition,in the subgroup with normal TSH,serum TSH levels in the insomnia group were still higher than those in the non-insomnia group( 1.8[ 1. 1, 2.8] mU/L vs. 1. 6[ 1. 1,2. 3] mU/L) ,and the multivariate regression analysis showed that the relatively high T5H level was an independent of risk factor for early insomnia (OR, 1. 635,95% CI 1. 047-2. 554, I' =0. 031). Conclusion Serum TSH is associated with early onset insomnia in acute ischemic stroke, suggesting that the thyroid function axis may play a role in new insomnia in early stroke.

RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate the relationship between dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake and blood lipid, C-reactive protein (CRP) and homocysteine (Hcy) in patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).@*Methods@#Patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA were enrolled consecutively from Nanjing Stroke Registry Program. The total dietary PUFA intake level was assessed by the food semi-quantitative frequency questionnaire. Venous blood samples were collected in the morning of the day after admission to the hospital to detect the levels of serum total cholesterol, triacylglycerol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, Hcy, and CRP. According to the median level of total PUFA intake, the patients were divided into low PUFA group and high PUFA group. The relationship between PUFA intake and blood lipid, CRP and Hcy was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation.@*Results@#A total of 170 patients (85.1%) with acute ischemic stroke and 31 patients with TIA (14.9%) were enrolled. Their age was 62.9±14.1 years, 143 were males (71.1%), and the median PUFA daily intake was 12.8 g (interquartile range: 8.05-17.5 g). Compared with the high PUFA group (n=100), patients in the low PUFA group (n=101) were older, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were lower, and CRP and Hcy levels were higher. The above differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that total dietary PUFA intake was significantly negatively correlated with the serum CRP (r=-0.24, P=0.001) and Hcy (r=-0.17, P=0.013) levels, and there was no significant correlation with the blood lipid levels. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that CRP was significantly negatively correlated with PUFA intake after adjusting for confounding factors (B=-0.28, P=0.012).@*Conclusions@#Dietary PUFA intake in patients with acute ischemic stroke or TIA may affect blood metabolism index and oxidative stress index. It is necessary to adjust the dietary structure of patients with low PUFA intake to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence.

RESUMO
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the complex clinical syndrome attributed to multiple causes and risk factors, which is characterized by an abrupt loss of renal function. Metabonomics, recently advances in the field of omics, is the nontargeted measurement of all of the low-molecularweight compounds that appear in a particular cell, tissue, organ or biofluid in a living organism. Compared to genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics,metabonomics has its unique advantages, including fewer metabolites than genes, transcripts and proteins, the most accurate predictors of the signature of the actual processes, easy access to biofluids. Thus, metabonomics makes it possible to find new biomarkers for AKI on early diagnosis, identifying new metabolic pathways, finding new targets for drug therapy and individual medical treatment.

RESUMO
Objective: To investigate the non-specific and inaccurate amplification in cases of highly similar sequences among family members and the length heterogeneity of mature microRNA ( miRNA) ,and find a condition that discriminates maximally among similar miRNA family members and detects the accurate expression level of miRNAs. Methods: Primers with their mismatches and/or 3' end at different positions were designed. Amplification efficiencies were compared using matched and various mismatched primers by RNA-tailing and primer-extension RT-PCR at different annealing temperatures. Expression levels of several miRNAs in mouse brain were compared using miRNA specific primers with different termini. Results: Raising annealing temperatures 12℃-14℃above the T_m of the primers maximally increased amplification specificity without sacrificing sensitivity. Primers designed with their termini on or near variant positions could efficiently discriminate between miRNA isoforms. Using primers that terminated before the end of the mature miRNA did not miss the detection of shorter mature miRNA and provided accurate expression levels. Conclusion: Careful primer design and higher annealing temperature can increase specificity and accuracy of real time PCR miRNA detection.

RESUMO
Objective:To examine global expression levels of microRNAs(miRNAs) in mouse cerebrum and to provide an important basis for detailed studies of individual miRNAs,their target genes,the miRNA-related regulatory networks in the mammalian central nervous system,and their implications in diseases.Methods:Low molecular weight RNA from cerebrum of five C57BL/6J mice were tailed and reverse transcribed by extended RT-primer.miRNA primers were carefully designed and arrayed on plates according to the Tm of each primer.PCR was carried out at different annealing temperatures using a gradient real-time PCR instrument.The relative expression level of each miRNA was calculated using 5sRNA for normalization.Results:Among the 285 miRNAs detected,260 were positive with varying abundance.Their frequency distribution was approximately a normal distribution.The expression levels of most miRNAs were in accordance with previously published results by microarray.However,the positive rate was higher than that detected by microarray.miRNAs originating from the same hairpin precursors expressed at similar or significantly different levels.Clusters of proximal miRNAs were similar or quite different in abundance.It is suggested that the fate of miRNA after transcription determined their abundance.Conclusion:Using the RNA-tailing and primer-extension PCR array method,we obtained expression profile of miRNA in mouse cerebrum,especially the relative expression data of many low abundant miRNA in mouse cerebrum,which will be of special help for studying the fine-tuning function of low-level miRNAs.
RESUMO
Objective: To further study the effect of apoptin in inducing cancer cell specific apoptosis and the possible applications in cancer therapy. Methods: Apoptin gene was amplified by PCR and inserted into pcDNA3.1(+) with a FLAG tag in front of the multi-cloning-site. Apoptin gene with the FLAG tag was sub-cloned into an adenovirus vector. Several cancer cell lines were transfected with pcDNA3. 1/FLAG/apoptin or infected with apoptin containing recombinant adenoviruses to study the morphologic changes. Ad/apoptin infected cells were also analyzed by flowcytometry after staining with PI. Results: Expressed apoptin was localized in the nucleus of cancer cells. Chromatin condensation occurred 2 or 3 days after Ad/apoptin(+) infection. Cell number in G 2-M phase increased dramatically after Ad/apoptin(+) infection. Conclusion: Apoptin can induce cell cycle G 2-M arrest and chromatin condensation in cancer cells.
