    Mitochondrial dynamics is the dynamic balance process in which mitochondria continuously divide and fuse under physiological or stimulating conditions, thereby regulating the distribution, quantity, size and shape of mitochondria in the cell. In cells, the regulation of mitochondrial dynamics is closely related to the functions of mitochondria, which include providing energy, regulating calcium homeostasis, participating in programmed cell death, cell signal transduction, and cell metabolism. In cancer, mitochondrial dynamic regulation is closely related to the proliferation, migration, treatment and drug resistance of tumor cells. Therefore, mitochondrial dynamic regulation has become a research hotspot in the field of cancer, and has shown great potential in tumor therapy. In this review, we review the key features that mediate mitochondrial dynamic regulation, and discuss the mechanisms involved in tumorigenesis and development and its potential in tumor therapy.

    Objective:To observe the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) induced by astragaloside A and expression of Cyclin D1. Methods: BMSCs were induced by astragaloside A with 100 mg·L-1. At l, 12, 24 h after induetion, the morphological changes of BMSCs were observed with optical microscope and the expressions of Nestin, NSE, Cyclin D1 were identified by immunocytochemical techniques. Cyclin D1 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Results: Bone marrow cells were primarily cultured and subcultured. The third passage of BMSCs was purified. After treatment with 100 mg·L-1 astragaloside A, some cells presented processes, were similar to neuron-like cells in morphology, and expressed Nestin and neuron-specific enolase. Nestin expression occurred earlier (P<0.05) and at a higher level (P<0.05) than expression of neuron-specific enolase. At 1 hour after treatment with astragaloside A, cyclin D1 expression was substantially down-regulated in BMSCs at both gene and protein levels. Simultaneously, BMSCs began to express nestin. No significant differences in cyclin D1 expression in BMSCs were detected between 12 and 24 hours post-treatment and the pretreatment level (P>0.05). Conclusion: Our results indicated that astragaloside A regulated cell cycle, prolonged G1/S phase transition, triggered BMSC differentiation, and finally induced BMSC differentiation into neuronal stem cells. The trophism of astragaloside A accelerated further growth of cell processes and the differentiation of cells into neurons.

Results: Comparing with the control group (71.13%), the observation group's total effective rate (86.46%) was higher (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of NT-proBNP, LVEDD and MLHFQ score in the observation group were significantly lower comparing with the control group (P<0.05), while LVEF and 6MWT were significantly higher (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum levels of TGF-β1, sST2 and TIMP-1 in the observation group were significantly lower comparing with the control group (P<0.05), and the levels of VEGF, IGF-1 and Ang 1 were significantly higher (P<0.05). Conclusion: For CIHF, sacubitril valsartan can effectively regulate myocardial fibrosis indexes and angiogenesis factors, reverse ventricular remodeling, improve cardiac function and quality of life of patients, and has a good effect.

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that cannot be cured until now. The main existing diagnostic methods are the detection of biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid and positron emission tomography (PET), but their application in clinical practice is hampered due to the invasiveness and high cost of their testing. Biomarkers in blood samples can make early detection and diagnosis of ad universal because of their easy availability and low price. This article summarizes several common biomarkers of AD and their changes in AD patients, and prospects the development of ad biomarkers in the future.

    Tripartite motif proteins (TRIM) are a class of proteins involved in a wide range of biological processes, including cell growth and differentiation, development, apoptosis, immune response, and tumorigenesis. Among them, TRIM32 is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that belongs to the TRIM protein family. Although there are few studies on TRIM32, its role in maintaining the physiological function of the nervous system is extremely important. Therefore, this review aims to review the role of TRIM32 in neurological diseases.
