AIM: To analyze secondary structure and physico-chemical property of the fusion protein with bioinformatics network resource, and explore the expression of a secretory anti-osteoblastic carcinoma single-chain bi-functional antibody gene. METHODS: ①The single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) antibody gene and interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene were subcloned into corresponding restriction sites of retrovirus expression vector PLxSN. Mediated by liposome, the recombinant plasmid pL(ScFv-IL-2)SN was packaged with PA317 and selected in G418 to obtain the positive clones, which were able to produce stable retrovirus, and then osteosarcoma (OSC) cells were infected by the recombinant retrovirus, terming OSC/ScFv-IL-2. The virus titer was detected by using NIH3T3.②The transfected OSC9901 cells by ScFv-IL-2 gene were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reversed transcription-PCR and Western blotting. After the fusion protein was constructed, DNAssist and ANTHEPROT V5 softwares were used to analyze the amino acid sequence, the secondary structure, and the physico-chemical property of fusion protein. RESULTS: ①After the restriction enzyme and PCR identification, the pL(ScFv-IL-2)SN as a fusion protein expression vector, was constructed successfully, and high titer C26 cells were obtained; the expression of recombinant protein was confirmed by Western blotting.②On the fusion genes, the DNA sequence was analyzed with DNAssist nucleic acid sequence analysis software, and their secondary structure and physico-chemical property were analyzed with ANTHEPROT V5. CONCLUSION: The property of fusion protein can be analyzed and forecasted by means of bioinformatics network resources, and the approach may provide evidences for investigating single-chain bi-functional antibody gene.

ObjectiveTo observe the changes of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2) and c-fos in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rats. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and PTSD model group. The model group rats were exposed to the single-prolonged stress (SPS) to set up the rat PTSD model. The expression of pERK1/2 was detected using immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, and the expression of c-fos mRNA was detected using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results The result of immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the number of pERK1/2-positive cells of control group and model group were 10.4±2.07 and 48.8±10.08 respectively (P<0.01), and integral optical density were 24.955±3.691 and 110.810±10.643 respectively (P<0.01). And Western blotting showed that relative expression quantities of pERK/β-actin were 0.510±0.052 and 1.109±0.106 respectively (P<0.01). The quantities of c-fos mRNA relative expression of control group and model group were 0.267±0.067 and 1.049±0.131 (P<0.01). Conlusion The levels of pERK1/2 and c-fos increase significantly in mPFC of PTSD model rats. The ERK signal transduction pathway in mPFC might play an important role in the pathogenesis of PTSD.

Objective To analysis the causes of cardic arrest during liver transplantation, and investigate the preventive measures. Methods Clinical records about 5 patients with cardiac arrest in liver transplant were studied retrospectively. Results Occurrence of cardiac arrest was 2.1 % (5/240). All the events happened at 3-6 min after graft reperfusion, and arrest lasted 3-8 min. Two patients died of resuscitation failure. After graft reperfusion, CVP and MPAP were much high in 5 patients. All of them had hypothermia and hypocalcemia. Three of them also had acidosis and two complicated with hyperkalemia. In one case, the difference between PaCO_2 and P_ETCO_2 was 47 mm Hg. Conclusion Many factors, such as disturbances of electrolyte and acid-base equilibrium or hypothermia, seemed to have some contribution to cardiac arrest occurrence after reperfusion. Various methods should be used to counter it.

Objective To study the effect of ?-scretase substrate-base peptide(BACEsp) on cellular model of Alzheimer's disease(AD).Methods The cellular model of AD established with neuroblastoma cell SK-N-SH induced by amyloid precursor protein(APP) was infected with the supernatants including recombinant retrovirus pLXSN-BACEsp.MTT assay was used to test cell viability and immunocytochemistry was used to observe APP expresion in cells before and after BACEsp treatment.Results Cell viability and APP expression in the cells that had been first infected by recombinant retrovirus pLXSN-BACEsp were apparently higher than those only transfected by APP and last infected by recombinant retrovirus pLXSN-BACEsp.Conclusion BACEsp has an obviously protective effect on APP-induced neuron toxicity of cellular model of AD.

Objective To investigate the incidence and influencing factors of aldosterone escape in patients with non-diabetic nephropathy by RASI-therapy. Methods A total of 104 patients with non-diabetic nephropathy were treated with ARB or combination therapy of ACEI and ARB in a mean follow-up period of 12 months. Aldosterone escape was determined according to the change of plasma aldosterone concentration before and after treatment during 6-month and 12-month ACEI/ARB treatment, while the influencing factors of aldosterone escape in patients with non-diabetic nephropathy was also analyzed after therapy with RASI . Results In 12 months, the incidence of aldosterone escape was significantly higher than that in 6 months (26.92% vs. 14.42%, P = 0.007). After 12-month treatment, the difference was statistically significant in incidence of aldosterone escape among different stages of CKD (P = 0.027). Compared with 6-month incidence of aldosterone escape in the losartan group, 12-month incidence increased evidently (P = 0.020). The Ald level was positively correlated with urinary protein excretion and the Scr level (r = 0.431, P = 0.003 and r = 0.336, P = 0.009, respectively), and negetively correlated with levels of the eGFR (r = -0.275, P = 0.006). Univariate Logistic regression demonstrated that risk factors of aldosterone escape included pre-treatment values of the urinary protein excretion (OR = 3.671, P = 0.028) and the eGFR (OR = 0.972, P = 0.019). Multivariate Logistic model revealed pre-treatment values of the eGFR was positively associated with aldosterone escape (OR = 0.970, P = 0.012). Conclusion The incidence of the aldosterone escape increases along with the time of treatment. Renal function has correlated with aldosterone escape and pre-treatment value of the eGFR is an independent risk factor of aldosterone escape.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the value of indirect CT lymphography (CT-LG) combined with nanocarbon tracer suspension staining in the sentinel lymph node (SLN) detection of rabbit tongue (cancer). METHOD: Eight rabbits were divided into two groups, i. e. normal control group (6 rabbits) and VX2 tongue carcinoma group (2 rabbits). Pre-contrast CT images were taken for all rabbits. The mixture of iohexol and nanocarbon tracer suspension (iohexol 0.25 ml and nanocarbon tracer 0.25 ml, respectively, volume ratio = 1:1) was used as contrast agent of indirect CT-LG. Indirect CT-LG was performed as the contrast agent was injection into right ventrolateral submucosa of the tongues. CT images were acquired at 1, 5, 10 and 15 min after injection. RESULT: There were no cervical lymph nodes clearly identified in any group on the pre-contrast CT images. After the contrast agent injection, indirect CT-LG showed an ipsilateral SLN with rapid enhancement which was the only enhanced SLN, located lateral to the larynx-trachea region in all rabbits of VX2 control group and carcinoma group. The CT attenuation values of SLN were (58.80 ± 5.45) HU, (134.80 ± 28.92) HU, (91.00 ± 13.08) HU and (63.80 ± 4.32) HU at 1, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after indirect CT-LG. After the cervical anatomy guided by CT scan, all of the right deep SLN showed a distinct enrichment of black dye highly consistent with the locations on the indirect CT-LG images. CONCLUSION It is more accurate for sentinel lymph node detection by indirect CT lymphography combined with nanocarbon tracer staining.
