As a member of tyrosine kinases(TK) family,Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) has an activity of intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase,which plays an essential role in the regulation of signal transduction in the cells.Due to the abnormal expression of EGFR-TK,the certain type cancers may developed and progressed.Based on that,the inhibitors of EGFR-TK could be effective medicines for the treatment of cancer.The EGFR-TK domain was amplified by RT-PCR with RNA of HUVCEs cells as the template and expressed in E.coliBL21(DE3) using plasmid pET30a as vector.The recombinant protein was purified with the affinity chromatography(Ni-NTA),which was identified to have kinase activity catalyzing the substrate phosphorylated with ATP in the enzymatic reaction.Using the recombinant EGFR-TK as target,the screening model for enzymatic inhibitors was constructed.

AIM: To assess the impact of diabetes on corneal endothelial cells through the quantitative analysis of corneal endothelial cell morphology for patients with diabetics.
METHODS: The corneal thickness and endothelial cell morphology of 360 eyes of 299 cases were detected using full automatic corneal endothelial cell analyzer. The normal control group included 175 eyes of 148 cases, and there were 185 eyes of 151 cases for the patients with diabetes, 110 eyes of 92 cases for the non-proliferating phase group and 75 eyes of 59 cases for the proliferating phase group. The average density of central corneal endothelial cells, proportion of hexagonal cells, coefficient of variation and corneal thickness were compared among groups, and then the statistical analysis was conducted.
RESULTS: Compared with the cornea of the normal group, in the diabetes group, the coefficient of variation of corneal endothelial cells and central corneal thickness increased, while the average density of central corneal endothelial cells and proportion of hexagonal cells decreased, showing a significant difference (P<0. 05). Compared with the cornea of non-proliferating phase group, in the proliferating phase group, the density of central corneal endothelial cells decreased, the coefficient of variation of corneal endothelial cells increased, while the proportion of hexagonal cells decreased with a significant difference (P<0. 05), and the central corneal thickness increased, showing no significant difference(P>0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Compared with the cornea of normal control group, in the diabetes group, the corneal endothelial cells show abnormal morphology, which aggravates with the severity of lesions, especially for the significant changes in the coefficient of variation and the proportion of hexagonal cells. As a result, the corneal resistance to damage in patients with diabetes will decrease.

Objective To explore the effects of exercise training(ET)on the functional recovery of nerves (NFR)in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH).Methods Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into an ET group,a control group and a sham operation group(SO group).An ICH model was established with colla- genase in the ET and control groups,while sodium chloride was used with the SO group.The ET group exercised for 40 min a day from 24 h to 30 d after the operation.Attitudinal reflexes,balance function and muscle strength were assessed at 24 h,3 d,7 d,14 d,21 d and 28 d after the operation.Results Compared with the control group, NFR values were increased significantly in the ET group,and there was no obvious dysfunction in the SO group. Conclusion Early ET can contribute to functional recovery after ICH.

Objective To measure the renal tissue texture or flexibility with virtual touch quantization (VTQ) and to tentatively examine its clinical application in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods A total of 750 patients (1500 kidneys) were performed with VTQ,including 400 cases in the control group,and 350 cases in the CKD group.A conventional ultrasound examination (two-dimensional,color Doppler) were first taken,and then the shear wave velocity (Vs) was measured which reflected the textural elastic.Results In both groups the Vs was the highest in renal cortex with significant difference (P<0.05); renal cortical region Vs in CKD group was lower than those in control group (P<0.05),while Vs of renal medulla and renal sinus had no significant difference in the two groups.The severity of renal dysfunction was increased along with a Vs decrease of renal cortex.Conclusion VTQ is helpful to assess renal function of patients with CKD.

Objective To explore the effect of glucocorticoids on nuclear factor - ?B expression and Th2 cytokines and the relationship of these two factors. Methods Thirty BALB/c mice were divided randomly into normal control groups, asthmatic groups and budesonide inhalation group. The expression of NF - ?B was observed by immunocytochmical staining; IL - 4, IL - 5, IFN - ? proteins in HALF were measured by ELISA. Results The percentage of cells of active NF - ?B, IL - 4 and IL - 5 protein in BALF of asthmatic group was significantly higher than that of control group, which was significantly reduced by budesonide(P

BACKGROUNDTo evaluate homemade and imported HbsAg ELISA kits on screening blood donors.

METHODSSamples for evaluation included 120 HbsAg serum plates for the golden criteria and 400 sets of serum from blood donors in Dongguan. The samples underwent blind screening with homemade and imported ELISA kits respectively.

RESULTSThe sensitivity of homemade (Xinchuang) and imported (Diasorin) HbsAg ELISA kit were 85.71% (72/84) and 100% (84/84), respectively. Their specificity was 100% (436/436) and 96.55% (421/436) respectively. The consistency of two ELISA kits was 100%.

CONCLUSIONThe imported ELISA kit had the highest sensitivity, but its specificity was not as good as that of homemade ELISA kit. The two kinds of ELISA kits had good repetition. The combination of the two reagents may ensure the safety of blood transfusion.

OBJECTIVETo determine the pseudo-ginsenoside GQ (PGQ) in rat bile, feces and urine, and to study on the excretion of pseudo-ginsenoside GQ.

METHODReverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method with an evaporative light-scattering detector (ELSD) was performed on Diamonsil C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm), and the mobile phase was consisted of methanol-water (24: 7) with flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). ELSD parameters were set as follows: nitrogen gas pressure 3.0 bar, drift tube temperature 50 degrees C.

RESULTThe method fulfilled all the standard requirements of precision, accuracy and linearity. The main way of excretion of PGQ in rat administrated through sublingual vein was at the bile. The bile excretion ratio of PGQ was 41.60%, and feces excretion ratio was 9.97%. Only trace amount of PGQ was excreted in urine.

CONCLUSIONAlmost all unchanged PGQ was excreted in bile, feces and urine.

The latest findings of our laboratory showed that Angelica sinensis polysaccharide (ASP) showed a definite effect in regulating the aging of hematopoietic stem cells. Leukemia is a type of malignant hematopoietic tumor in hematopoietic stem cells. There have been no relevant reports about ASP's effect in regulating the aging of leukemia cells. In this study, human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) KG1alpha cell lines in logarithmic growth phase were taken as the study object, and were divided into the ASP group, the cytarabine (Ara-C) group, the ASP + Ara-C group and the control group. The groups were respectively treated with different concentration of ASP, Ara-C and ASP + Ara-C for different periods, with the aim to study the effect of ASP combined with Ara-C in regulating the aging of human acute myeloid leukemia KG1alpha cell lines and its relevant mechanism. The results showed that ASP, Ara-C and ASP + Ara-C could obviously inhibit KG1alpha cell proliferation in vitro, block the cells in G0/G1 phase. The cells showed the aging morphological feature. The percentage of positive stained aging cells was dramatically increased, and could significantly up-regulate the expression of aging-related proteins P16 and RB, which were more obvious in the ASP + Ara-C group. In conclusion, the aging mechanism of KG1alpha cell induced by ASP and Ara-C may be related to the regulation of the expression of aging-related proteins, suggesting that the combined administration of ASP and anticancer drugs plays a better role in the treatment of leukemia .
