Objective To evaluate the cognitive function characteristics in patients with myasthenia gravis(MG). Methods The cognitive function of 83 MG patients and 39 healthy controls (HC) were evaluated by MMSE, California verbal learning test( CVLT), brief visuospatial memory test revised(BVMT-R), symbol digit modalities test(SDMT), benton judgment of line orientation test(BJLOT), paced auditory serial addition Test(PASAT) and verbal fluency test(VFT). The depression state was assessed by beck depression inventory (BDI). The results were compared between MG and HC groups.The effect of clinical characteristics such as disease type, comorbidities, course of disease, disease severity, and drug treatment on cognitive impairment in MG group was further analysed. Results The scale scores of MMSE(28(26, 29), 29(28, 30)), CVLT, BVMT-R, SDMT((37.06±12.18), (47.54±14.91)) and PASAT((32.86±10.23), (37.00±8.82)) in MG were significantly lower than those in control group (P 0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that QMG scores were negatively correlated with SDMT scores(r=-0.234, P<0.05). MG-ADL scores were inversely correlated with total BVMT-R scores of three trials(r=-0.283, P<0.05). Conclusion Patients with MG suffered from cognitive impairment, mainly in memory, attention, processing speed and visual memory, which supported the hypothesis of CNS involvement in MG.Dysfunction in some cognitive domains may be related to the disease severity.Clinicians need take morce attention to early assessment, developing long-term follow-ups and appropriate intervention.

Objective To investigate the effects of butylphthalide(NBP) on cognitive function and Nrf2 / SIRT3 signal pathway in vascular dementia (VD) mice. Methods Wild-type mice (Nrf2+ /+ ) were divided into sham group, model group (VD group), butylphthalide treatment group (Nrf2+ /+ NBP group), and Nrf2 gene knockout mice (Nrf2-/-) were divided into Nrf2-/-model group (Nrf2-/-VD group) and Nrf2-/-treatment group (Nrf2-/-NBP group). Both the model group and the treatment group were repeated.The bilateral common carotid arteries were ligated three times to establish a mouse model of cognitive dysfunction caused by cerebral ischemia-reperfusion.The sham group only isolated the bilateral common carotid arteries and threaded the wires, but did not block blood flow.Morris water maze experiment was used to analyze the cognitive function of mice.HE staining was used to observe the changes of neuron morphology and structure in CA1 region of hippocampus, and immunohistochemical analysis was used to analyze the positive expression of caspase 3 and caspase 9 in mouse CA1 region of hippocampus.Western blot was used to detect mouse hippocampus Nrf2, p62, LC3, SIRT3 protein expression. Results (1) In Morris water maze experiment: compared with VD group, the escape latency of Sham group and Nrf2+ /+ NBP group was significantly shorter on the 5th day ((20.69±8.91) s, (7.58±9.47)s, (8.41±12.20)s; q=3.58, 5.07, both P 0.05). (2) Pathological results showed that, compared with VD group, the damage of pyramidal neurons in CA1 area of hippocampus in Sham group and Nrf2+ /+ NBP group was lighter, and that in Nrf2-/- VD group was more serious, and the improvement of neuron morphology was not obvious after NBP treatment.(3) The expression of apoptosis: compared with VD group, the expression of caspase-3 and caspase-9 in the CA1 area of hippocampus in Sham group and Nrf2+ /+ NBP group were significantly lower, and those in Nrf2-/-VD group were significantly higher (t=3.48, 2.95, 3.46, 2.93, -2.99, -3.77, all P 0.05). (4) Expression of related proteins: compared with VD group, Nrf2, SIRT3, p62 protein expression increased, LC3II/I ratio decreased in Nrf2+ /+ NBP group(t=-3.24, -4.04, -4.03, 3.62, all P<0.01); Nrf2, LC3II/ I ratio decreased, SIRT3, p62 protein expression increased in Sham group(t=3.44, 4.72, -3.52, -4.19, all P<0.01); Nrf2, SIRT3, p62 protein expression decreased and LC3II/I ratio increased in Nrf2-/-VD group(t=9.14, 4.20, 4.30, -3.78, all P<0.01); Compared with Nrf2-/- NBP, the expression of Nrf2, SIRT3, p62 decreased, and LC3II/I ratio increased in Nrf2-/-VD group(t=2.40, 3.24, 1.21, -1.16, all P<0.01). The expression of Nrf2, SIRT3, p62 protein in Nrf2+ /+ NBP group increased, and the ratio of LC3II/ I decreased (t=-3.29, -5.00, 6.24, all P<0.01).

Objective To investigate the effect of adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) on 5-serotonin-2c receptor in alleviating aggression in socially isolated mice. Methods Sixty healthy male BALB / c mice aged 21 days were randomly divided into six groups: social isolation group, social control group, ADAR1 inducer social isolation group, ADAR1 inhibitor social isolation group, ADAR1 inducer social control group and ADAR1 inhibitor control group.The mice fed in single cage for 4 weeks were used as social isolation model while the mice fed in group were used as control group.ADAR1 inducer (5.0×104 U/kg) and inhibitor (10 mg/kg) were given intraperitoneally to mice in the ADAR1 inducer social isolation group and the ADAR1 inhibitor social isolation group respectively.The aggressive behavior of mice was evaluated by resident-intruder test.The expression of ADAR1 and 5-serotonin-2c receptors in the brain of mice was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Results The attack latency of social isolation group was significantly lower than that of social control group ((43.15±6.99) s, (542.40±30.50) s; t=15.906, P<0.01), and the latency of attack ((256.70±29.49) s) in the ADAR1 inducer social isolation group was significantly higher than that in the social isolation group (t=7.046, P<0.01). The latency of attack ((15.25±2.18)s) in the ADAR1 inhibitor social isolation group was significantly lower than that in the social isolation group (t=3.809, P<0.01). The optical density of ADAR1 immunoreactive cells in the amygdala of the social isolation group mice was significantly lower than that in the corresponding brain area of the social control group (BLA: (0.038±0.002), (0.074±0.004); LaDL: (0.033±0.002), (0.060±0.002); LaVM: (0.045±0.003), (0.073±0.004); Lavl area: (0.044±0.003), (0.070±0.003); t=8.428, 9.037, 6.462, 5.698, all P<0.01). The optical density of ADAR1 immunoreactive positive cells in the amygdala (BLA: (0.060±0.003), LaDL: (0.042±0.002), LaVM: (0.056±0.004), Lavl: (0.054±0.003) in the ADAR1 inducer social isolation group was significantly higher than those in the corresponding brain area of the social isolation group mice (t=6.055, 2.876, 2.312, 2.492; all P<0.05). The expression of ADAR1 protein and 5-serotonin-2c receptor protein in amygdala of social isolation group were significantly lower than those of social isolation group (t=11.37, 12.65; P<0.01). The expression of ADAR1 protein and 5-serotonin-2c receptor protein in the amygdala of the ADAR1 inducer social isolation group were significantly higher than those of the social isolation group (t=3.02, 4.401; P<0.05).

Objective To investigate the effects of music training and art training on the audiovisual integration of letters-speech sounds in college students. Method Visual letters and auditory speech sounds were used to conduct a discrimination task test in music students, art students and ordinary college students (n=30 for each group). SPSS17.0 was used to conduct ANOVA and Race model analysis on reaction time and hit rate. Results (1) Reaction time: the results showed that the interaction between group and stimulus type was significant(F=7.89, P<0.01). The simple effect analysis found that all the participants reacted faster to consistent audiovisual(letters B and speech B) stimuli in comparison to unimodal stimuli, and the redundant signal effect occured.(2) Race model analysis showed that the time window of audiovisual integration were 120-130 ms in the music group, 130-190 ms in the art group, and 120-170 ms in the general group(P<0.01). The positive area (pAUC) under the Race model curve of the music group(18.95) was significantly smaller than that of the art group(159.43) and the general group(125.01)(P<0.01), and there was no significant difference between the art group and the general group(P=0.13). Conclusion Music training has a regulating effect on the integration of letters and speech sounds, while art training has no significant effect on it.

In recent years, the role of inflammation in depression has received people's attention.Studies have suggested that immune disorder may play an important role in depression, and patients with depression exhibit characteristic immunophenotypes.Inflammation seems to interact with a variety of pathogenesis of depression.Therefore, immunoregulation is becoming an adjuvant therapy for depression.Clinically, not only antidepressants show anti-inflammatory effects, but also anti-inflammatory drugs show antidepressant effects, and they mainly including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, statins, and cytokine inhibitors.In addition, some non-drug treatment methods are also given immunomodulatory effects, such as electric shock therapy, vagus nerve stimulation, acupuncture and exercise therapy.However, there are still some problems in immunomodulation therapy, such as immunomodulation therapy may be only effective for some subgroups of patients, and its efficacy and safety need to be evaluated.In the future, looking for more effective biomarkers and identifying immune-inflammation-related subtype of depression, will serve to explore new diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Objective To compare the expression of myeloid cell trigger receptor expressed on myoid cell 2 (TREM2) in different brain regions of tyrosine kinase binding protein(TYROBP) knockout mice and wild-type mice at different months of age, and to explore the relationship between TREM2, TYROBP and early onset Alzheimer's disease(EOAD). Methods Healthy TYROBP gene knockout mice were divided into three groups according to the results of gene sequencing: the homozygous (TYROBP-/-) group, the heterozygous (TYROBP-/+ ) group, and the wild type (WT) group.Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression of TREM2 in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus of 2, 4 and 6 month old mice in the three groups and with 10 in each group at each time point. Results (1) In the prefrontal cortex: Western blot and RT-qPCR results showed that compared with WT mice (2-month-old: (0.993±0.048), (1.654±0.033); 4-month-old: (0.503±0.019), (2.169±0.023); 6-month-old: (0.600±0.036), (1.468±0.057)), the levels of TREM2 protein and mRNA in 2-month-old TYROBP-/+ group ((0.746±0.062), (1.137±0.067)) and TYROBP-/- group ((0.661±0.028), (0.644±0.012)) were decreased.While in 4-month-old and 6-month-old TYROBP-/+ group (4-month-old: (1.140±0.006), (5.483±0.088); 6-month-old: (0.827±0.043), (3.020±0.082)) and TYROBP-/- group (4-month-old: (1.071±0.010), (3.012±0.150); 6-month-old: (0.627±0.026), (1.633±0.027)) were increased, especially in 4-month-old mice and the differences were statistically significant (F=12.946, 134.445; 725.318, 289.202; 12.172, 202.791; all P<0.05). (2) In the hippocampus: Western blot results showed that compared with WT mice (2-month-old: (1.268±0.036); 4-month-old: (0.813±0.010); 6-month-old: (0.312±0.021)), the level of TREM2 protein in 2-month-old TYROBP-/+ group ((0.804±0.034)) and TYROBP-/- group ((0.534±0.020)) were decreased.While in 4-month-old and 6-month-old TYROBP-/+ group ((0.932±0.011); (0.769±0.031)) and TYROBP-/- group ((0.910±0.014); (0.609±0.018)) were increased, especially in 4-month-old mice and the differences were statistically significant (F=142.807; 27.884; 94.067; all P<0.05). Conclusion The expression level of TREM2 decreases in 2-month-old TYROBP gene knockout mice while increases in 4-month-old and 6-month-old TYROBP gene knockout mice.It is presumed that TREM2/TYROBP signal pathway participates in the pathological process of EOAD and plays different roles in different pathological stages of EOAD.

Antidepressant therapy is effective for patients with major depressive disorder, however the mechanism is unclear and it is difficult to predict the efficacy objectively. At present, the changes of local spontaneous brain activity in patients with major depressive disorder after antidepressant treatment are mostly located in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate gyrus and precuneus. The changes of brain function interaction involved in emotional circuit, default mode network, central executive network and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.Future researches should optimize the experimental design, enlarge the sample size, reduce the sample heterogeneity, and compare the effects of different types of antidepressants. This paper reviews the effects of antidepressant therapy on brain function in patients with major depressive disorder from the perspective of resting fMRI, to promote our understanding of the mechanism of antidepressant therapy and to promote the discovery of objective biomarkers which can predict the response of antidepressant therapy.

At present, the changes of local spontaneous brain activity in patients with major depressive disorder after antidepressant treatment are mostly located in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, ventromedial prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate gyrus and precuneus. The changes of brain function interaction involved in emotional circuit, default mode network, central executive network and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.Future researches should optimize the experimental design, enlarge the sample size, reduce the sample heterogeneity, and compare the effects of different types of antidepressants. This paper reviews the effects of antidepressant therapy on brain function in patients with major depressive disorder from the perspective of resting fMRI, to promote our understanding of the mechanism of antidepressant therapy and to promote the discovery of objective biomarkers which can predict the response of antidepressant therapy. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Major depressive disorder; Antidepressants; Resting state; Functional magnetic resonance imaging","PeriodicalId":9940,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Science","volume":"29 1","pages":"177-182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47063603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
