Objective To optimize the PCR primer sets for Simian virus 40 (SV40) detection and establish an assay method for SV40 which is of high sensitivity, strong specificity, broad applicability. Methods Two pairs of PCR primers were designed of based on 21 different SV40 strains genome by Primer Premier 5.00 software, and the features of two pairs of PCR primers were analyzed by Oligo software (version 6.71), conservative nucleotide of two pairs of PCR primers and the PCR amplification product were analyzed by DNAMAN software (version 6.0.40). Two pairs of new-built PCR primers were compared with those derived from China pharmacopoeia (Clip) in these aspects. The detection sensitivity of four pairs of PCR primers were analyzed using different SV40 DNA diluent as PCR template. The detection specificity of four pairs of PCR primers were analyzed using sterile water, Vero cell DNA, SV40 DNA as PCR template, respectively. Results The sequences of the new PCR primer sets VP1 and T are conservative for 21 Strains. The sequences of PCR primer sets GCVP1 and GCT are conservative for SV40 strains whose accession No. is J02400, NC_001669, AF316139 and AF316141. As far as the same diluent SV40 DNA template is concerned, the PCR amplification efficiency of PCR primer set VP1 and T is higher than that of PCR primer set GCVP1 and GCT. There are non-specific band in nucleic acid electrophoresis for amplification products of PCR primer sets GCVP1 and GCT, whereas there are no non-specific band in nucleic acid electrophoresis for amplification products of PCR primer sets VP1 and T. Conclusion The new assay method for SV40 nucleic acid sequence has many better qualities than those in Chp such as high sensitivity, strong specificity, broad applicability, conservation of primers and their amplification products and so on.

BACKGROUND: RT-Q medical biomembrane, the novel copolymer synthesized from lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, not only possesses the advantages of hyaluronic acid, such as multiple biological functions, excellent flexibility and biocompatibility, but also has the merits of polylactic acid fragments to be easily processed and transformed to membrane when encountering water. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the hemostatic effect of RT-Q medical biomembrane in rat external jugular vein hemorrhage model, and to evaluate its histocompatibility by locally applying it to rat muscle. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal trial.SETTING: Department of Pharmacology, Department of Pharmacognosy, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University.MATERIALS: 130 male Wistar rats aged 6 weeks, weighing 170-210 g, were selected. Eighty rats were used for evaluation of hemostatic effect, and the other fifty were used in biocompatibility experiment. Animal intervention met the animal ethical standard. RT-Q aerosol composed of DL-lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, α-cyanoacrylate, acetone (solvent), freon (propellant) and excipient aerosol composed of acetone and freon (propellant) (Batch number 20050311) were provided by Department of Pharmaceutics, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University.α-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive(SUNCON medical adhesive) (Batch number 20050930) was produced by Beijing Suncon Medical Adhesive Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd. METHODS: Haemostatic effect: Eighty male rats were randomly divided into four groups, served as RT-Q, SUNCON (positive control), excipient group and non-treatment group (negative control), twenty in each group. After anesthesia was induced, external jugular vein of rats was exposed, and an approximately 0.6 cm incision was made to create hemorrhage. The bleeding areas were blotted by antiseptic gauze. After removing the gauze, the bleeding surfaces were immediately treated with RT-Q aerosol in the RT-Q group, excipient aerosol in the excipient group, 0.15 mL SUNCON medical adhesive in the SUNCON group, or no agent in non-treatment group, respectively. Then, injury surfaces were covered by gauze. In the non-treatment group, bleeding was left to naturally stop. Bleeding time and blood loss (gauze weight after hemostasia - that before hemostasia) were determined. Local histocompatibility: Rats were divided into A and B groups. Incision was made in rat post-leg muscle after anesthesia was induced. Left bleeding surfaces were treated with excipient aerosol, and right bleeding surfaces were treated with RT-Q aerosol in group A (n=30). The same incision as the group A was made, but no intervention was performed in the group B (n=20). Tissues were possessed and HE-stained for pathological observation under light microscope at days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 15, 23, 30 after the surgery. Effect of biomembrane on wound healing, degradation and toxicity to tissues surrounding injuries were observed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Bleeding time and blood loss in hemostatic experiment; wound healing, biodegradation and toxicity to tissues surrounding injuries in local histocompatibility experiment. RESULTS: 130 rats were involved in the result analysis. Histopathologic examination showed RT-Q membrane had no effect of promoting or delaying wound healing. Membrane formed by RT-Q aerosol began to degrade on the 15th day, absorbed completely during 3-4 weeks, and had no toxicity to surrounding tissues. Bleeding time and blood loss were reduced in the RT-Q group than in the non-treatment group and the excipient group (P < 0.01). There was no significant difference between the RT-Q group and the SUNCON group (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION: RT-Q medical biomembrane as α-cyanoacrylate medical adhesive has significant hemostatic effects on topical bleeding, and possesses good histocompatibility.

Objective To evaluate the clinical results of arthroscopic repair of combined Bankart and superior labrum anterior to posterior (SLAP)lesions in patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations.Methods Between May 2011 and January 2015,we reviewed 15 cases with combined Bankart and SLAP lesions with recurrent shoulder dislocations who underwent arthroscopic repair.Their average age during surgery was 24.2 years (ranging from 16 to 38 years).During the operation,we began by repairing the unstable SLAP lesion with absorbable suture anchors before we repaired Bankart lesion from the inferior to superior.Fifteen patients in the control group had isolated Bankart lesions without SLAP lesions and underwent arthroscopic repair.Their mean age was 24.6 years (ranging from 18 to 35 years).The preoperative and postoperative results were analyzed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)for pain,the range of motion,American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES)and Rowe Shoulder Scores Systems.We compared the results with the isolated Bankart lesion. Results For patients who underwent arthroscopic repair of combined Bankart and SLAP lesions,the mean postoperative follow-up period was 15 months (ranging from 13 to 28 months),vs 22 months (ranging from 21 to 34 months)in the control group.VAS for pain was decreased from preoperative 4.9 to postoperative 1.9 (P <0.05).Mean ASES and Rowe Shoulder Scores were improved from preoperative 56.4 and 33.7 to postoperative 91.8 and 94.1,respectively (P <0.05). Recurrent dislocation was not observed until the last follow-up and anterior instability in two groups was not noted during the physical examination.Compared with the isolated Bankart lesion group,no statistical significance was found in the ASES score,Rowe Shoulder Score,or VAS for pain (P >0.05 ).Anterior flexion,abduction,and internal rotation of the affected shoulder during the last follow-up were normal after surgery.Conclusion For recurrent dislocation of the shoulder with combined Bankart and SLAP lesion,arthroscopic repair using absorbable suture anchors can achieve favorable clinical results.It can effectively restore shoulder function.
