Objective To establish mixed-sandwich ELISA detection system by screening aptam-ers of MPT64 antibodies with SELEX to detect clinical serum samples, and explore the potential laboratory diagnosis value of this method. Methods To detect the affinity of the final round ssDNA library to MPT64 antibodies inhibited by MPT64 antigen with the competitive ELISA method, optimize the mixed-sandwich ELISA detection method that was aptamer-serum-horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-human IgG anti-body detection system to detect 230 cases of clinical serum samples as well as the lowest concentration of MPT64 antibodies and the linear range. Results In competitive ELISA test results, the percentage of inhi-bition effect of MPT64 antigen to final round ssDNA library is from 0.25% to 80% when the MPT64 antigen concentration rised from 2 μg/ml to 256 μg/ml. The Optimized detection system of mixed-sandwich ELISA was constitute of the concentration of ssDNA coated with 0.1μg/hole, serum dilution of 1/200, horseradish peroxidase labeled goat anti-human IgG antibody concentration of 1/40 000. The lowest concentration of MPT64 antibody is 3 mg/L and the linear range is between 10 mg/L and 1000 mg/L. The serum samples of 100 cases of tuberculosis patients, 100 healthy individuals and 30 cases of non-tuberculesis were tested in this system and the test result was analyzed with Graphpad Prism, the difference of tuberculosis group and healthy group was statistically significant (P<0.001 ), the difference of TB group and non-TB control group was also statistically significant (P<0.001). The specificity and the sensitivity was 96.1% and 31.0% re-spectively. Conclusion The aptamer mixed-sandwich ELISA method will play an important role in the sero-logical diagnosis of tuberculosis.

AIM:To study the effects and mechanism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPARs)ligands,fenofibrate and pioglitazone,on ventricular remodeling in pressure overload rats.METHODS:A pressure overload model was established by the constriction of abdominal aorta in Wistar rats.The hemodynamics and ventricular remodeling parameters,plasma and myocardial renin activity,angiotensin Ⅱ and aldosteron,the mRNA expression of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor(AT1)were investigated in the constriction of abdominal aorta group(CAA group,n=7)at 12-week after operation and treated experimental groups in which rats were treated with fenofibrate(F group,n=8),pioglitazone(P group,n=7),concomitant fenofibrate and pioglitazone(F+P group,n=6)for 12 weeks since 2 days after operation.The sham-operated rats served as controls(n=8).RESULTS:The ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight,mean arterial pressure,left ventricular systolic pressure,left ventricular end diastolic pressure,left ventricular systolic pressure and heart rate were significantly lower,the maximum left ventricular pressure rising and declining rates(?dp/dtmax)were significantly higher in all treated experimental groups than those in CAA group.Fenofibrate or pioglitazone had no effect on plasma and myocardial levels of renin,angiotensin Ⅱand aldosteron.The mRNA expression of AT1 was downregulated in treated groups except F group.CONCLUSION:PPAR ligands have no effect on plasma and myocardial levels of renin,angiotensin Ⅱand aldosteron,but fenofibrate and pioglitazone inhibit ventricular remodeling,decrease preload and afterload,increase ?dp/dtmax in pressure overload rats.The expression of mRNA of AT1 is downregulated in myocardium of pressure overload rats by the PPAR? signaling pathway.

To study the protective effect of astragalus saponin extracts (AS) on kidneys of diabetic rats. Totally 32 diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (STZ) were divided into AS high and low dose groups, the positive control group and the model group (DM group) and orally administered with 50 mg x- kg(-1) x d(-1) AS 200, 25 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1) valsartan, 10 mL x kg(-1) x d(1) physiological saline, respectively. Another 8 healthy rats were collected in the normal control group (NC group, physiological saline 10 mL x kg(-1). d(-1)). All rats were treated for consecutively 6 weeks. After the administration, the body weight was measured every week, the concentration of blood glucose was monitored on week 2, 4 and 6. The total urine and total urinary protein (U-TP) in 24 h were measured by the metabolic cage method on week 6; At the end of week 6, blood samples were collected from hearts to detect blood urea nitrogen (BUN), serum creatinine (Scr), uric acid (UA) , total cholesterol (CH) triglyceride (TG) by biochemical methods. Kidneys were collect to calculate the kidney hypertrophy index and observe the pathological sections. The laboratory results show that in the DM group, the blood glucose, metabolic cost in 24 h, kidney hypertrophy index, U-TP, BUN, Scr, UA, TG were significantly higher than that in the NC group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05) , with significant pathological changes; After the intervention with AS, the metabolic value in 24 h, kidney hypertrophy index, U-TP, BUN, Scr, UA, TG were significantly lower in the high dose group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and the kidney hypertrophy index, BUN, Scr, UA, TG in the low dose group were also significantly lower (P < 0.05), with slight reduction in renal pathological changes in both groups. In conclusion, Astragalus saponin extracts have a certain protective effect on kidneys of diabetic rats.

Objective To construct a new recombinant immunotoxin expression vector by using human VEGF165 and a truncated pseudomonas exotoxin A ramification (PE38) gene, and explore the expression of the VEGF165-PE38 fusion protein in HEK293 cells. Methods VEGF165 was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). PE38 gene was gained from an vector plasmid pRB391 by restriction endonuclease digestion, and then inserted to the eukaryotic expression vector pIRES2-EGFP. After the eukaryotic recombinant vector pIRES2-VEGF165-PE38-EGFP was identified by restriction endonuclease digestion and sequence analysis, the vector was transfected into HEK293 cells by liposome protocol. RT-PCR and ELISA method was used to confirm the expression of the fusion gene in the HEK293 cells. Results Restriction endonuclease digestion and sequence analysis revealed the VEGF165-PE38 fusion gene was cloned into the eukaryotic expression plasmid vector pIRES2-EGFP successfully. The pIRES2-VEGF165-PE38-EGFP fusion gene could express in the HEK293 cells. Conclusion The result provide the basis for search of the targeted cytotoxic activity to tumor vascular endothelial cells and may have some potential value in clinical application.
