    Objective: To explore the changes of resting state functional connectivity of dentate nucleus in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and to analyze its correlation with cognitive function. Methods: A total of 34 patients with aMCI were selected as the observation group, and another 34 healthy elderly people were selected as the control group. Data were acquired by resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to compare the differences in functional connectivity between the bilateral dentate nuclei and other regions of the whole brain in the two groups; and partial correlation was used to analyze the correlation between functional connectivity and clinical scale scores and biomarker in patients with aMCI. Results: Compared with the control group, the connections between the left dentate nucleus and the left temporal lobe and the right thalamus, the right dentate nucleus and the left superior temporal gyrus and the right posterior cerebellar lobe were enhanced in the observation group (alphasim correction, P<0.05, voxel number> 100). Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) and verbal fluency test(VFT) were positively correlated with the functional connectivity between left dentate nucleus and right thalamus (r=0.399, P=0.026; r=0.383, P=0.025), while the functional connectivity between right dentate nucleus and left superior temporal gyrus was negatively correlated with auditory verbal learning for recognition (r=-0.552, P=0.001) and positively correlated with phosphorylated tau protein (r=0.357, P=0.045). Conclusion: The specific cerebellar-cortical functional connection was enhanced in the aMCI stage, and this enhancement is related to the cognitive function scale and biomarker.

    Objective: To explore the correlation between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (BaPWV) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods: A total of 979 patients with T2DM were recruited for this study.  Electronic sphygmomanometer was used for measuring blood pressure in the right arms, and MAP was calculated. Based on MAP, patients were divided into low MAP group (MAP<92.4 mmHg, n=327), medium MAP group (92.4 mmHg ≤MAP<102.4 mmHg, n=326) and high MAP group (MAP≥102.4 mmHg, n=326). The BaPWV and ankle-brachial index were measured by Omron arteriosclerosis detector. The correlation between MAP and BaPWV were evaluated by multiple linear regression analysis and Logistic regression analysis. The ROC curve of MAP was drawn to evaluate its predictive value for arterial stiffness in T2DM. Results: BaPWV level was gradually elevated with MAP in T2DM patients (P<0.01). Correlation analysis indicated that MAP was positively correlated with age, body mass index, waist-to-hip ratio, insulin resistance index, triglyceride, and BaPWV. Multiple linear regression demonstrated that MAP was positively associated with BaPWV after adjustment for associated risk factors (P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that MAP was independently associated with BaPWV in T2DM patients after adjustment for other confounders (OR=1.160,95%CI: 1.132-1.188). The area under the ROC curve of MAP for predicting arterial stiffness was 0.786 (95% CI: 0.759-0.811, P<0.01), and take the best cutoff value of 94.4 mmHg (the sensitivity of was 75.0%, and the specificity was 69.2%). Conclusion: MAP is expected to be a simple and practical indicator to predict the risk of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM.

    Objective: To analyse the changes of selfreferential network (SRN)and cerebrospinal fluid pathological markers amyloid βprotein (Aβ), total tau (ttau) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) for patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment(aMCI). Methods: A total of 51 aMCI patients were enrolled in the study. According to the cognitive awareness index, they were divided into the aMCI group with impaired cognitive awareness(n=20)and the aMCI group(n=31)with cognitive awareness preserved. All patients underwent resting functional magnetic resonance (rsfMRI), lumbar puncture, and cognitive assessment. Independent component analysis was used to extract SRN; two-sample t test was used to explore the functional connectivity of SRN and cerebrospinal fluid (Aβ, ttau and ptau)changes; Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between cognitive awareness index and functional connectivity changes and the levels of cerebrospinal fluid Aβ, t-tau and p-tau. Results: The aMCI group with impaired cognitive awareness showed hyperconnectivity in the bilateral medial orbitofrontal cortex, left anterior cingulate gyrus and right rectus gyrus (AlphaSim correction, P<0.001, voxel number>17). The difference in brain function connectivity between the two groups was negatively correlated with the cognitive awareness index(r=-0.457, P<0.000). The level of Aβ in cerebrospinal fluid in the aMCI group with impaired cognitive awareness was significantly lower than that of the aMCI group with cognitive awareness preserved(P<0.01), ptau and ttau in cerebrospinal fluid were significantly increased than those of the aMCI group with cognitive awareness preserved(P<0.001). The cerebrospinal fluid Aβ level was positively correlated with cognitive awareness index(r=0.331, P=0.025), and cerebrospinal fluid t-tau and p-tau levels were negatively correlated with cognitive consciousness index (r=-0.534,-0.508, both P<0.001). Conclusion: SRN is the neuroimaging basis of cognitive awareness; aMCI patients with impaired cognitive awareness have impaired functional connectivity of SRN and more severe deposition of Alzheimer′s disease pathological markers.

    Objective: To investigate the role of deferoxamine pretreatment on the toxicity of methylmercury and its potential mechanism. Methods: PC12 and BRL cells were selected and divided into groups: control group, cells were cultured with high sugar medium containing with 10% fetal bovine serum for 0.5 h; methylmercury group, cells were treated with different concentrations (1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 μmol/L) of methylmercury for 0.5 h, MTT assay was used to detect cell viability, Western blotting was used to detect the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPx4). The above two results were used to screen the optimal concentration of methylmercury. In addition, PC12 cells and BRL cells were divided into control group which cells were cultured with high sugar medium containing with 10% fetal bovine serum for 6.5 h, and different concentrations of deferoxamine + methylmercury groups which cells were pretreated with 0, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μmol/L deferoxamine for 6 h, then treated with methylmercury (10.0 μmol/L) for 0.5 h, Western blotting assay was used to detect the expression of GPx4 and hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α), MTT assay was used to detect cell viability. Results: Compared with the control group, 10.0 μmol/L methylmercury group was shown with significantly decreased cell viability in both cell lines, therefore, 10.0 μmol/L methylmercury was used for subsequent experiments. Compared with 0 μmol/L deferamine+ methylmercury group, the expression of GPx4 and HIF-1α enhanced with the increase of deferamine concentration in both cell lines; cell viability was enhanced when deferoxamine concentration reached to 400 μmol/L in PC12 cells and 200 μmol/L in BRL cells. Conclusion: Deferoxamine may antagonize methylmercury-induced ferroptosis through upregulating the expression of HIF-1α and GPx4.
