Effect of IDHgene mutation on acute myeloid leukemia LI Qing-li, WEN Jun, MIN Xue-jie, ZHAO Li, ZHAO Xiao-ping 2018, 38 (8):  960.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2018.08.017 Abstract ( 915 )   PDF (10873KB) ( 587 )   Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is an important metabolic enzyme involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In recent years, IDH has become the most frequent tumor metabolic mutation gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Unlike other mutations, it gains new functions which can catalyze α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) to produce the tumor metabolite D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2-HG).

Research progress on the correlation between gut microbiota and obstetrics and gynecology diseases GU Ting-ting, LAI Dong-mei 2018, 38 (8):  967.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2018.08.018 Abstract ( 1257 )   PDF (9796KB) ( 655 )   The human gastrointestinal tract is colonized100 trillion microbes which is called the gut microbiome, whose number vastly outnumbers our bodies. The gut microbiota plays an important role in the process of human health involved with evolution, development, metabolism and immune defense. However, it also has been found to be related with many human diseases. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have begun to reveal how these inhabitants played a role for obstetrics and gynecology related diseases. As discussed in this review, some imbalance of the microbiota ecosystem occurs in several diseases, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, gestational diabetes mellitus and premature birth. Moreover, the reestablishment of the intestinal homeostasis has shown great effects on women related diseases as well as neonatal/childhood outcomes. This paper reviewed the correlation between gut microbiota and obstetrics and gynecology related diseases. Related Articles | Metrics

Research progress of magnetoencephalography in neurological paroxysmal disease ZHAN Fei-xia1, CAO Chun-yan2, CAO Li1 2018, 38 (8):  979.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2018.08.020 Abstract ( 745 )   PDF (8056KB) ( 387 )   Neurological paroxysmal disease is a large group of clinical syndrome with a characteristic of sudden, recurrent, self-limiting. Clinically, routine biochemical or imaging examinations are usually with no significant abnormalities in the interictal period. However, magnetoencephalography (MEG), as an important electrophysiological tool in studying brain magnetic signals and monitoring brain electric activity, has highly temporal and spatial resolution for its noninvasive measurement of human brain with superconducting quantum interference. Therefore, it has been gradually used in researching for functional activities and mechanisms of the neuropsychiatric disorders and the advanced brain activity. There mainly reviewed the application and studies of MEG in epilepsy, paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesias and migraine. Related Articles | Metrics

Effect of imblanced vaginal flora on female infertility CHU Wei-wei, XU Jie-ying, CHEN Zi-jiang, DU Yan-zhi 2018, 38 (8):  990.  doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1674-8115.2018.08.022 Abstract ( 873 )   PDF (9512KB) ( 559 )   Recently the incidence of female infertility is on the rise. The variable and complicated caof infertility makes it difficult to diagnose in clinical practise. The relationship between vaginal flora and host immune system plays a vital role in female physiological function. Vaginal microbiota dysbiosis may be related to all kinds of infertility, such as tube infertility, endometriosis, anovulatory infertility and idiopathic infertility. In other words, vaginal microbiota dysbiosis may take part in the infertile process. For now the mechanism is far clear. Some scientists suppose that Lactobacillus deficiency, chronic inflamationandlow estrogen levelmight get involved inthispathophysiological progression,which needs to be studied in the furture.
