BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and its derived scaffold or vector here been widely used in experiment and gradually applied in the clinic. However, the tracing method challenges the therapeutic effect, The discovery and application of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) can solve this problem.OBJECTIVE: To construct the bicistronic eukaryotic vector pIRES2-EGFP-hBMP-2 and to observe its expression in human embryo kidney (HEK) 293 cells.METHODS: hMBP-2 gene was extracted from human osteosarcoma by RT-PCR and inserted into PMD18-T vector. Following the DNA sequence verification, it was then sub-cloned into the eukaryotic vector pIRES2-EGFP. After restriction enzyme analysis the pIRES2-EGFP-BMP-2 was transfected into HEK 293 cells. Then its expression was observed using fluorescence microscopy and Western blot.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: hBMP-2 gene was amplified and the eukaryotic vector plRES2-EGFP-hBMP-2 was constructed successfully. At 48 hours after tranfection of pIRES2-EGFP-hBMP-2 into HEK 239 cells, approximately 30% of cells emitted green fluorescence under a fluorescence microscope. Western blot results demonstrated that there was a specific BMP strap at Mr46×10s side, which indicated that the target gene could be expressed in constructed pIRES2-EGFP-hBMP-2 vector.

Objective To explore the genetic association of C1GALT1 gene polymorphisms with susceptibility and prognosis of IgA nephropathy (IgAN) on Uyghur population in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.Methods Ninety Uighur patients with IgAN and ninety geographically and age matched healthy controls were recruited.Peripheral blood was collected from recruited individuals for DNA extracting.After amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),genotyping of the four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in C1GALT1 gene,which were rs9639031,rs5882115,rs1008898,-527A/G,were detected by direct sequencing analysis.Differences of allele and genotype frequency were analyzed between IgAN and healthy controls.Moreover,the association between these SNPs and the risk and progress in IgAN patients were further analyzed.Results (1) The I allele frequency of rs5882115 in C1GALT1 gene was significantly higher in IgAN than that in healthy controls （x2 =7.788,P =0.015),no difference in allele frequencies of rs9639031,rs1008898,-527A/G between IgAN and healthy controls was found.Under the dominant mode,the DI+ Ⅱ genotype frequencies of rs5882115 was significantly higher in IgAN than that in healthy controls (x2 =8.563,P =0.009),no difference in genotype frequencies of rs9639031,rs1008898,-527A/G between IgAN and healthy controls was found.Under the hidden mode,no difference in genotype frequencies of rs5882115,rs9639031,rs1008898,-527A/G between IgAN and healthy controls was found.Logistic single factor regression analysis showed that the risk to IgAN of whom carry I allele of rs5882115 was 2.469 times than the D allele (OR =2.469),and the risk to IgAN of whom carry DI+ Ⅱ genotype was also higher (OR =2.852).(3) No association was found between these SNPs in C1GALT1 gene and serum creatinine in IgAN.Conclusion Association between rs5882115 in C1GALT1 gene and Uighur IgAN susceptibility suggests that there may be variants in C1GALT1 gene or its linked genetic region,which needs further exploration.

Blood glucose level responses to different diets were examined in 12 healthy man. The test breakfasts consist of different proportion of protein and carbohydrate. Three kinds of test breakfast were fed respectively for each person. Blood glucose were measured before and 1, 2 and 4 hr after breakfast. The results indicated that high-CHO diet maintained higher level of blood glucose than other diets in 1-2 hr after breakfast. However the blood glucose level began dropping from 2 hr and dropped below fasting level at 4 hr after breakfast. The high-protein diet resulted in decreasing of blood glucose level in 1-2 hr after breakfast. The blood glucose level then increased continuously until 4 hr after breakfast.The results in this experiment showed that adjustment of the proportion of carbohydrate and protein in diets could maintain the blood glucose to a higher and stable level.

Objective To compare the biomechanical stability of 4 internal fixations in treatment of acetabular fracture of the lower anterior column through finite element analysis.Methods One normal adult male pelvis was subjected to 0.7mm thin-section CT scanning and 379 CT pictures were obtained.Finite element modeling software was used to establish internal fixation models for acetabular fracture of the lower anterior column,including lag screws (A),anterior column reconstruction plate (B),subcutaneous plate not crossing the pubic symphysis (C) and subcutaneous plate crossing the pubic symphysis (D).Finite element analysis was carried out to compare the biomechanical differences among the 4 internal fixation models which were subjected to the same loading conditions at both standing and sitting positions.Results At standing and sitting positions,the maximum displacement and the mean node displacement of fracture lines were the greatest in group A (0.558 mm and 0.462 ±0.092 mm at standing;0.634 mm and 0.473 ±0.108 mm at sitting),the smallest in group D (0.512 mm and 0.425 ±0.083 mm at standing;0.031 mm and 0.025 ± 0.004 mm at sitting),and in between in group B (0.513 mm and 0.432 ±0.085 mm at standing;0.630 mm and 0.466 ± 0.109 mm at sitting) and in group C (0.514 mm and 0.433 ± 0.085 mm at standing;0.627 mm and 0.464 ± 0.107 mm at sitting).At both standing and sitting positions,the maximum stress at the fracture line was the greatest in group D (10.519 MPa and 24.879 MPa),the smallest in group A (3.254 MPa and 8.954 MPa),and in between in group B (4.873 MPa and 9.431 MPa) and in group C (4.384 MPa and 10.128 MPa).Conclusions In treatment of acetabular fracture of the lower anterior column,subcutaneous plate crossing the pubic symphysis may result in the greatest biomechanical stability,lag screws the smallest biomechanical stability,and anterior column reconstruction plate and subcutaneous plate not crossing the pubic symphysis the moderate biomechanical stability.

Objective To compare the perio-perative effects of modified bikini minimally invasive approach versus direct lateral approach for total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods A total of 60 patients(70 hips),including 45 males (49 hips) and 15 females (21 hips) aged (54.9 ± 6.1) years (range from 38 to 63 years)who underwent THA for the first time at joint surgery department of our hospital were retrospectively analyzed from October 2015 to May 2017.Thirty patients(34 hips) underwent modified bikini approach THA(the modified bikini group),and 30 patients(36 hips) received direct lateral approach THA(the direct lateral group).The comparisons were performed between the two groups in the orthopaedic pelvic films,disease stages,Harris scores before and after operation,intra-operative blood loss,postoperative drainage,blood transfusion rate,24-h visual analog scale(VAS) scores for pain after operation,operation time and incision length.The straight leg elevation time,recovery time of hip abduction muscle strength,average hospitalization days and subjective satisfaction of patients were evaluated.Relevant surgical complications were recorded.Results Postoperative X-ray examinations showed that the position of prosthesis was good in both groups.There were no statistically significant difference between the two groups in operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage,blood transfusion rate,straight leg elevation time and subjective satisfaction(P＞0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the modified bikini group and the direct lateral group in the incision length[(9.2±1.9) cm vs.(18.5±3.3) cm],recovery time of hip abductor muscle strength [(1.6 ± 0.8) d vs.(12.1 ± 3.9) d],Harris scores [(87.1±5.9) vs.(86.8 ± 7.1)],24-hour VAS scores [(4.6 ± 2.3) vs.(7.0 ± 3.6)] and average hospitalization days[(7.4 ±1.8) vs.(10.8 ±2.4)]after operation between the modified bikini group and the direct lateral group(P＜0.05).One case with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury and 1 case of posterior cortical perforation of proximal femur were found in the modified bikini group,and 1 case of dislocation of hip prosthesis was observed in the direct lateral group.Conclusions Both of the modified bikini minimally invasive approach and direct lateral approach for THA can achieve better postoperative effect,while the modified bikini approach achieves faster recovery.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic change of paraquant-induced kidney injury in rats and the protective effect of edaravone. Methods: Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the normal control group, paraquat poisoning group, edaravone treatment group and edaravone control group. The normal control group of 8 rats were given 1 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride through the abdominal cavity, and the same amount of fluid into the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes. The paraquat poisoning group of 24 rats were given 1 ml of paraquat solution (20 mg/kg) through the abdominal cavity to build poisoning models, and the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride was injected into the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes. The edaravone treatment group of 24 rats were given edaravone (5 mg/kg) through the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes when the poisoning models were set up. The edaravone control group of 24 rats were given 1 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride through the abdominal cavity, and edaravone (5 mg/kg) was injected into the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes. In addition to the normal control group, the other groups processed 1 times a day to mantain 7 d. On 1, 3, 7, 21 d several rats in each group were excuted and the kidney tissue and serum samples were collected, then each pathological changes of the kidney were observed with light microscopy. Serum creatinine, KIM-1, NGAL were measured by ELISA, the expression of HSP70 protein in kidney were observed with immunohistochemical staining. Results: The pathological examination reveald that the damage of kidney tissue in the paraquat group was the most serious on 3 d, and the damage was consistently alleviated in edaravone treatment group at the same time, renal fibrosisn was unseen in each group until 21 d. Compared with normal control group, there was no statistically significant in edaravone control group (P>0.05) . The KIM-1 in blood and kidney in paraquat poisoning group were markedly increased in 1 d (P<0.05) . The NGAL in blood and creatinine were markedly increased in d7 (P<0.05) . The NGAL in kidney increased over time, but had no statistically difference with the control group (P>0.05) .Compared with paraquat poisoning group, the serum creatinine, KIM-1 in blood and kidney, the KIM-1 in kidney had decreased significantly in edaravone treatment group (P<0.05) . The NGAL in kidney has no statistically significant compared with the poisoning group (P>0.05) . HSP70 expression of kidney tissue in edaravone treatment group had significantly increased in d3 compared with the paraquat poisoning group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Edaravone can prompt a significant rise of HSP70 in kidney tissue, reduce KIM-1 and NGAL levels, and play a protective role in kidney injury of acute paraquat poisoning.
