Objective To package the recombinant lentivirus containing HIV-1 Vpr gene and detect the effect of Vpr protein expression on the latent infection and lyric replication of KSHV.Methods The fragment of Vpr gene from expression plasmid pCI-neo-Vpr was cloned into the lentivirus vector pHAGE-CMV-MCS-IzsGreen,then the recombinant plasmid pHAGE-Vpr,package vector psPAX2 and envelope vector pMD2.G were cotransfected into 293T cells.GFP expression was observed by fluorescent microscopy.Culture media of 293T cells were harvested and filtered through 0.45 μm filter.After 293T cells were infected by a series of diluted lentivirus,the virus titer was checked by observing GFP expression.Vpr mRNA transcripts in 293T cells were detected by RT-PCR.Then BCBL-1 cells were infected by the recombinant lentivirus with 1 MOI,GFP expression was observed by fluorescent microscopy,and the mRNA transcripts and protein expression of Vpr in BCBL-1 cells were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot.Meanwhile,the mRNA transcripts and protein expression of KSHV lytic cycle gene Rta were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot,respectively.Results The recombinant lentivirus carrying HIV-1 Vpr was packaged successfully with the virus titer of 4 × 107 TU/ml.After infected with lentivirus,BCBL-1 cells could express GFP,and the exact band of Vpr was detectable by RT-PCR and Western blot.Moreover,the expression of KSHV Rta mRNA and protein were downregulated by Vpr protein.Conclusion Overexpression of HIV-1 Vpr mediated by the recombinant lentivirus could inhibit KSHV lytic replication and enhance KSHV latent infection.

Objective To study the relationship between advanced liver fibrosis and peripheral neuropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DPN). Methods A total of 173 patients (89 men and 84 women) with type 2 diabetes who hos?pitalized in Tianjin Third Central Hospital within nearly three years (2013.02-2015.02) were divided into three groups ac?cording to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) fibrosis score:group A (NFS≤-1.455), group B (-1.455

Background:Pancreatitis is the main complication of ERCP,and a variety of risk factors will increase its risk. Studies showed that temporary pancreatic duct stent can reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Aims:To study the efficacy and safety of prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting on preventing PEP in patients with risk factors. Methods:Patients undergone ERCP and accompanied with one or more PEP-associated risk factors from November 2013 to November 2016 at Huaibei People's Hospital were enrolled,and were divided randomly into pancreatic duct stenting group (observation group)and non-stenting group (control group). Serum levels of amylase at 4,24 and 48 hours after the procedure and incidence of PEP were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 297 patients were enrolled, and 147 patients were in observation group,and 150 patients in control group. No significant differences in gender,age and ERCP disease spectrum were found between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Incidence of PEP was significantly decreased in observation group than in control group (6. 1％ vs. 16. 0％,P < 0. 05). Serum levels of amylase at 4,24 and 48 hours after the procedure were significantly decreased in observation group than in corresponding control group (P < 0. 05), however,no significant difference in incidence of hyperamylasemia was found between the two groups (59. 2％ vs. 54. 7％, P > 0. 05). Conclusions:Prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting may decrease the incidence of PEP in patients accompanied with PEP-associated risk factors, especially could decrease the severity of PEP. However, the incidence of hyperamylasemia is not decreased.

Objective:To analyze the status of ethical management of biobanks in Shanghai public hospitals. Methods :A questionnaire survey on ethical management of biobanks was conducted in 9 representative ethics com-mittees, which were established in public hospitals with biobanks in Shanghai. Results: The ethics committees in Shanghai public hospitals had paid relatively high attention to ethical review of protocols were related to biobanks. Nonetheless, the ethical supervision and training on biobanks in Shanghai public hospitals should be enhanced. Con-clusion:The unified ethical guideline on biobanks should be developed in Shanghai for strengthening the standard-ized ethical management and ethics training to promote the development and use of biological samples library re-sources.

Objective To study to take the oxidized Mannan?modified 786?0 in renal clear cell carcinom as tumor cells antigen to sensitize Dendrit?ic cells(DC)and to observe the its killing effect on renal clear cell carcinoma of CTLs induced. Methods Getting the peripheral blood mononucle?ar cells from the volunteers,and then to be stimulated to turn to be maturation by GM?CSF and IL?4 in vitro. Taking the clear renal carcinoma cell as the tumor antigen,and then making it to be modified by oxidized Mannan to acquire the tumor cell vaccine.Experimental groups include:blank group:DC?PBS group,control group:control?DC?786?0,experimental group:DC?Ox?Mannose?786?0 group. Taking the flow cytometry to detect the changes of DC phenotype,then taking the ELISA to detect the sencretion levels of supernatant of IL?12 of DC,then taking the CCK to detecte the cytotoxicity of lymphocytes(CTL)induced by DC of these experiment groups. Results Results by flow cytometry:the mature phenotype of DCs sensitized by Ox?Mannose?786?0 group included CD80,CD83,CD86 and HLA?DR expressed significantly higher than the other groups. As well as the secretion levels of IL?12. Meanwhile the cytotoxicity activity of lymphocytes(CTLs)induced by DCs which are sensitized by Ox?Mannose?786?0 increased more significantly than the other groups. Conclusion Glycosylated Antigens can be more effective in sensitizing antigen?presenting cells DC,and stimulating them to be maturation,while the killing effect to tumor cells also have noticeably improved.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI)in full-term neonatal hypoxic ische-mic encephalopathy (HIE).Methods Sixty-three neonates with HIE were collected and scanned by Siemens 3.0T superconducting MR scanner.Routine axial conventional MRI scan and axial SWI scan were conducted.Results In 63 neonates,a total of 29 cases with different degree of intracranial hemorrhage were scanned with SWI sequence.A total of 1 5 1 intracranial hemorrhages were found.Conventional MRI sequences were performed in 1 5 cases with different degree of intracranial hemorrhage.Only 78,43 and 88 hemorrhages were found by T1 WI,T2 WI and T2 Flair sequences,respectively.SWI were significantly superior to conventional MRI sequences in displaying the scope and boundary definition of hemorrhage.Conclusion SWI sequence is obviously better than the con-ventional MRI sequences in bleeding detection and displaying hemorrhage stove,and it provides a powerful imaging method for the clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma levels of chromogranin A (CHGA) and adi-pose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) combined non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods The plasma levels of CHGA and ATGL were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in T2DM patients with NAFLD (group A, n=74), T2DM without NAFLD (group B, n=76), and normal group (group NC, n=75). The correlation between CHGA, ATGL and other metabolic index was analyzed. Results The plasma level of CHGA was significantly higher in group A (83.15±9.46) and group B (70.90±2.75) than that of group NC (46.74±8.15, P<0.01), and the level of CHGA was significantly higher in group A than that of group B (P<0.01). The plasma level of ATGL was sig-nificantly lower in group A (21.36±13.42) and group B (40.29±22.83) than that of group NC (72.30±26.41, P<0.01), and the level was lower in group A than that of group B (P<0.01). There was a negative correlation between the plasma CHGA, AT-GL and carbohydrate oxidation rate in group A. There was a positive correlation between fasting insulin (FINS), insulin resis-tance index (HOMA-IR), free fatty acid (FFA) and fat oxidation rate in group A. There was a negative correlation between plasma level ATGL and body mass index (BMI), FINS, cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and HOMA-IR, meanwhile, it was positively correlated with FFA. The multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that FINS, ATGL and FFA were indepen-dent variables for CHGA. The Logistic regression analysis showed that plasma levels of CHGA, ATGL and FFA were the in-dependent predictors of T2DM with NAFLD. Conclusion The plasma levels of CHGA and ATGL are closely correlated with substance and energy metabolism, and the interaction between them may play an important role in the pathogenesis of T2DM with NAFLD .
