Purpose To clone and express Trypanosoma Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LeuRS) gene and to complete the purification and activity assay of LeuRS. Methods We cloned the LeuRS gene from T. Brucei genomic DNA,and cloned it into pBS-T and then into the expression vector pET21a( + ) .The expression of T. Brucei LeuRS was carried out in E. coli BL21 (DE3) RIPL host by optimizing the expression conditions. The products are purified by His-Bind affinity column and verified by Western blot . Enzymatic activity was detected by isotope labeling. Results A DNA fragment at length of 3.2 kb was amplified. Both restriction analysis and sequencing analysis proved that recombinant plasmid pET21a( + )/LeuRS was correctly constructed. The expressed product contained about 20% of total somatic soluble protein and reached a purity of 85% after purification . It was verified by the Western blot. Enzyme unit per millilitre of purified products was about 72. Conclusion Here we report the successful clone, expression and purification of LeuRS from Trypanosoma Brucei ( T. Brucei) in bacterial host. In addition, we tested its enzymatic activity by isotope labeling.This work would be helpful to the design and in vitro screening of Trypanosoma LeuRS inhibitors.

Effects of glucose concentration and pH\|control upon production of exopolysaccharides of Grifola frondosa was studied.The results showed that glucose at concentration of 5% was favorable to exopolysaccharides production,and the pellets benefited from the controlled start pH as well as the controlled final pH of 3 5～4 0 to produce exopolysaccharides.Attempt on the exopolysaccharides production with recycled pellets in the saccharoid solution was also made in this work.

A pregnant lady in her third trimester presented with a rapidly growing right-sided nasal mass associated with epistaxis and nasal obstruction for six months. Examination showed a non tender, protruding mass completely occluding her right nostril. Wide surgical excision was done under anaesthesia. Histopathology revealed capillary haemangioma. In a gravid patient with a rapidly growing intranasal lesion, capillary haemangioma should be considered as a differential diagnosis.

Objective To explore the incidence features of neonatal congenital hypothy roidism in Lianyungang area.Methods The heel blood samples dried on filter paper was collected from newborns after 72 hours.Serum thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH)level was detected by Dissociation enhancement lanthanide fluoroimmuno assay(DELFIA).The cases diagnosed were analyszd for the clinicl characters and the incidence features.Result One hundred and fifty-eighet children with CH were diagnosed and the patients lived in 63 towns(streets)(66.3%).The distribution of CH was diffuse in Lianyungang.There was significant difference in incidence of CH between 2007 to June of 2008 and before 2006.Eighty-two patients were examined by thyroid gland color ultrasound,among which there were sixty-eight patients whoes thyroid glands were normal(82.9%)and fourteen patients were unusal(absent,replacement,hypogenesis)(17.1%).A couple of twins(male)and two embryoes from the same parents were screened for CH.Conclusion There are iodine lack(MUI300?g/L)individual among people.The iodine nutrition condition of pregnant women is one of important factor to influence the TSH level of newborns.Neonatal screeing is the only valid means to find patients with CH.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of transurenthral resection of muscleinvasive bladder tumor (TURBT) in senile. Methods This study was clinical prospective random research.46 senile cases with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated by TURBT was divided into 2 groups:control group and observed group.The observed group was treated with TURBT combined with intravesical instillation of pirarubi 30 mg immediately after TURBT,the bladder wall around tumor was resected thoroughly.The control group underwent radical cystectomy and pelvic lymph node dissection. Results The clinical improvement rate was higher in observed group than control group (85.7％ s.63.6％,X2 =5.3008,P=0.021).There was not difference in 3 years recurrence rate between observed group(25.0％) and control group(13.6％) (x2 =S.3008,P＞0.05).The 1 year survival rate were 95.8％,90.9％ and 3 years survival rate were 79.2％,72.7％ in observed group and control group,respectively,and there were no differences between the two groups(X2 =0.262,P=0.609). Conclusions TURBT combined with intravesical instillation of pirarubi can enhance clinical effect and reduce recurrence rate in the treatment of the elderly with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Objective To explore the effect of the intestinal ischemia/reperfusion injury on paracrine patterns of BM-MSCs in order to provide evidence for BMSCs repair.Methods BMSCs were isolated,cultured,characterized,and stained.The rat intestine ischemia/reperfusion model (IRI) was established.Intestinal epithelial mucosal extracts were obtained either from IRI rat or normal rat.Those two type extracts were added into the culture medium,and BM-MSCs were cultured with the two conditioned medium respectively.The culture medium was collected at 0 h and 24 h after culturing with intestinal epithelial mucosal extracts.The levels of TGF-ot,VEGF,FGF and IGF-1 in the medium were assayed by ELISA.Results The contents of all the growth factors detected in cultured medium with intestinal extracts from IRI rats were significantly higher than in regular rats (P ＜ 0.05).The levels of TGF-α,VEGF in culture medium containing IRI epithelium extracts were significantly higher than that in the medium containing normal intestinal epithelium extracts (P ＜ 0.05)Conclusion BM-MSCs can secret TGF-α,VEGF,FGF,and IGF-1 in the presence of intestinal extracts from IRI rat in the culture.These factors might stimulate the differentiation and proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells through paracrine mechanism.

Objective To study the clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics and diagnostic methods of telangiectatic osteosarcoma for further improving the diagnostic ability.Methods The data of 10 patients with histologically proved telangiectatic osteosarcomas were retrospectively reviewed, and the clinical, radiologic and pathologic characteristics were further analysed in combination with the literature.All 10 patients were examined with X-ray and MRI, and 2 patients with CT.Results Telangiectatie osteosarcomas originated from inferior femur in 5 patients, femur neck in 1 patients, superior humerus in 2 patients and superior segment of tibia in 2 patients.The lesions showed osteolytic bone destruction on X-ray films (n = 10) and CT images ( n = 2), with mild bone expansion in 4 patients.The majority of the edge of the destroyed bone areas was unclear but without sclerotic rim.There were Codman's triangle and soft tissue mass in each patient but no obvious neoplastic bone forming.On MRI, all the lesions were mostly or completely constituted by the multiple cysts with periostnal reaction, and several scatteredly smaller liquid-liquid levels were found within cystic cavity in 7 patients.In all 10 cases, there were pathologic hemocoele similar to aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC), but malignant tumor cells and some neoplastic bones were found in cystic walls or septations.Only a small number of neoplastic bone tissue were seen by microscopy in 6 patients.Conclusions The radio-pathologic characteristics of telangiectatic osteosarcoma include the similar imaging findings of ABC, the common growth patterns of malignant tumors,and the pathologic hemocoele, malignant tumor cells within cystic wails or septations.The comprehensive analysis of clinical, radiologic and pathological data may help clinicans to make a correct diagnosis for telangiectatic nsteosareoma.

Objective To investigate effect and mechanism of Xuebijing administration at various concentrations on ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of rabbit limbs.Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were divided into control group (n =10),Xuebijing group Ⅰ (n =10) and Xuebijing group Ⅱ(n =10) according to random number table.Rabbit models of IRI in lower extremities were established.Each group received corresponding therapy after reperfusion:rabbits in Xuebijing group Ⅰ were firstly administered 4 ml/kg Xuebijing solution and 6 ml/kg isotonic saline; rabbits in Xuebijing group Ⅱ were administered 2 ml/kg Xuebijing solution and 8 ml/kg isotonic saline; rabbits in control group were simply administered 10 ml/kg isotonic saline.Venous blood samples were collected before reperfusion and at 1 h,2 h,4 h after reperfusion to measure coagulation parameters (APTT,Fib,INR and PT) and biochemical items (ALB,LDH and CK).Results APTT in Xuebijing group Ⅰ presented obvious improvement at 1 h and 4 h after reperfusion as compared with control group (P ＜ 0.01).PT in Xuebijing groups Ⅰ and lⅡ was significantly longer after reperfusion than that before reperfusion (P ＜0.05).Fib level in Xuebijing group Ⅰ was much higher at 4 h after reperfusion than that before reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).ALB level at 1 hour after reperfusion showed no statistical differences from that before reperfusion in Xuebijing groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P ＞ 0.05).LDH and CK levels in Xuebijing group Ⅰ were much lower than those in control group after reperfusion (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Xuebijing injection relieves limb IRI,with better effect in Xuebijing group Ⅰ than in Xuebijing group Ⅱ.Therapeutic mechanism may be associated with its involvement in adjusting clotting function and mitigating injury of muscle tissues.
