Objective To construct recombinant lentiviral vector pSin-EF2-Puro-DAB2IP transfect prostate carcinoma PC3 cells,and to observe its transfection rate and expression level in PC3 cells.Methods The cDNA sequences specifically targeting the DAB2IP gene were designed and cloned into lentiviral vector PC3-pSin using DNA recombinant technique.Using PC3-pSin-EF2 as control,the 293T cells were transfected by Lipofectamine reagent for lentiviral particles packaged, and viral titer was determined. The DAB2IP mRNA and protein expression levels were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting methods. Results The PCR and sequencing analysis results confirmed that the DAB2IP gene sequence was consistent with the sequence in GeneBank. The number of DAB2IP gene copy in PC3-pSin-EF2-DAB2IP cells and its control PC3-pSin-EF2 cells were 0.001±0.000 and 0.158 ± 0.013,respectively.Compared with control cells,the overexpression of mRNA in PC3-pSin-EF2-DAB2IP cells upregulated (179.370 ± 15.891)times,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). Compared with internal reference and control cells, the expression levels of DAB2IP protein in PC3-pSin-EF2-DAB2IP cells upregulated (2.431 ± 0.892)times and (2.415 ± 0.961)times respectively,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.001).Conclusion The lentiviral vector of the DAB2IP gene pSin-EF2-Puro-DAB2IP is successfully constructed,and its targeted gene is stably expressed in the targeted cells,which provides a basis for the further functional study of DAB2IP.

ObjectiveTo establish an experimental model of orthostatic hypotension (OH) after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rabbits and investigate the effect and relevant mechanism of tilting table exercise on OH.MethodsRabbit model of OH was established by completely transecting animal's spinal cord at the T5 segment and putting animal on a 60° tilting table. Tilting table exercise was applied to training group for 28 days starting from 4th day after operation. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and pulse rate (PR) were observed by non invasive sphygmobolometer of rabbit at 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th and 31st day after the operation. The concentrations of plasma renin activity (PRA) and angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) of different position were detected with radio immunoassay at 31st day after operation.ResultsSBP at 60° head up tilt increased and difference of SBP between two positions decreased significantly in training group at 31st day. The concentrations of PRA and AngⅡ of SCI group and training group were higher than that of sham group. There were no significant differences in the concentrations of PRA and AngⅡ between training group and SCI group.Conclusion T5 complete SCI can induce OH in rabbits. Tilting table exercise can partially improve OH after SCI in rabbit, which may be not related to activation of the circulating renin angiotensin system.

Objective To explore the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of diabetic lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy (DLRPN). Methods The clinical, electrophysiological and neuroimaging changes in 15 cases of DLRPN were investigated. Results The major clinical manifestations of 13 cases were unilateral or asymmetrical pain and progressive muscular weakness and atrophy of the proximal lower limb. The nerve conduction studies in affected nerves showed absent or reduced compound muscle action potential amplitudes and sensory responses with proportionate slowing of the conduction velocities. F waves and H reflexes were of long latencies or absent. Electromyography of affected muscles showed positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials involving lumbar paraspinal muscles. Assessment of the motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) revealed high amplitude, long duration, and polyphasic MUAPs with reduced recruitment 50% cases have much lower R-R interval variation. Conclusions DLRPN presents disabling pain and muscular weakness and elctrophysiological examination has a paramount value in the diagnosis and evaluation of this disease

Objective To discuss the changes of serum Th1/Th2 cytokine levels of allergic rhinitis patients and the intervention effect of montelukast.Methods 40 cases of allergic rhinitis patients were selected as treatment group,who were given montelukast tablets (10mg) through the mouth one time daily for 8 weeks.The changes of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in peripheral blood (PB) before and after medical treatment were observed,as well as the clinical curative effect and security.Accordingly 30 cases of healthy people were also selected as the control group.Results The IFN-γlevel in culture supernatant of patients in the treatment group [(8.74 ± 1.37) ng/mL] was lower than that in the control group before the medical treatment [(15.13 ± 3.16)ng/mL],while the IL-4 level of patients in the treatment group [(1.64 ± 0.47) ng/mL] was higher than that in the control group [(0.72 ± 0.21) ng/mL] (t =2..93,3.52,all P ＜ 0.01).After 8 weeks' medical treatment,the IFN-γ level in culture supernatant of patients [(12.36 ± 2.56) ng/mL] increased obviously than that of before [(8.74 ± 1.37) ng/mL],while the IL-4 level [(1.21 ± 0.28) ng/mL] declined obviously than that of before [(1.64 ± 0.47) ng/mL] (t =2.36,2.31,all P ＜ 0.05).The total clinical efficiency of patients in the treatment group was 92.5 ％ (37/40).No serious drug adverse reaction (DAR) appeared during the medical treatment.Conclusion The Th1/Th2 cytokine unbalances in peripheral blood (PB) of allergic rhinitis patients.Montelukast has reliable curative effect with high security,whose mechanism of action has close effect on lowering the IL-4 in peripheral blood (PB),increasing the IFN-γ level in peripheral blood (PB),correcting the balance disorders of Th1/Th2 cytokine,and the transformation of immunity reaction from Th2 to Th1.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Pidomorph on serum immune cell level and T cell subsets in children with bronchial asthma.Methods 140 pediatric patients with bronchial asthma from January 2014 to October 2016 in our hospital were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the order of admission,70 cases in each groups.The control group was treated with conventional glucocorticoid drugs,and the experimental group was treated with pidotimod.The total effective rate of clinical treatment,the rate of rapid breathing in the flow rate,forced expiratory peak value,forced breathing vital capacity were compared between two groups three weeks after treatment,and the serum levels of immune cells(IgA,IgG,IgM)and T cell subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+)were compared before and after treatment.Results The total effective rate was 92.86％(65/70)in the experimental group and 72.86％(51/70)in the control group,the total effective rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05); Forced breathing speed in the speed,forced expiratory peak value,forced breathing vital capacity in the experimental group were better than the control group(P<0.05); After treatment,the levels of serum immune cells(IgA,IgG,IgM)in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05); After treatment,the levels of T cell subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+)in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Pidotimod is effective and safe in the treatment of bronchial asthma in children,it can effectively regulate T cell subsets and improve the immune function of children with asthma.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of lengthened proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and Gamma nail treatment of proximal femoral fractures (including the intertrochanteric and inferior intertrochanteric area) combined with ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures.Methods A retrospective case control study was made on 68 cases of proximal femoral fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures received from January 2013 to October 2014.According to the operation mode,the patients were assigned to PFNA group (30 cases) and Gamma nail group (38 cases).Between-group differences were compared in aspects of surgical condition,treatment effect,Visual Analogue Scale (VAS),postoperative hip function (Harris score) and living ability (Barthel index).Postoperative complications were recorded as well.Results Duration of follow-up was 12-24 months [(20.8 ± 1.9) months].Incision length in PFNA group was (5.4 ± 1.2) cm versus (7.3 ±1.7) cm in Gamma nail group (P ＜ 0.01).Operative time in PFNA group was (96.8 ± 24.7) min versus (153.5 ±30.4)min in Gamma nail group (P ＜0.01).Blood loss in PFNA group was (151.5 ±16.8) ml versus (184.7 ± 22.7) ml in Gamma nail group (P ＜ 0.01).Healing time of proximal femur fractures and femoral shaft fractures in PFNA group [(16.1 ± 2.5) weeks,(19.5 ± 3.4) weeks] were significantly less than that in Gamma nail group [(18.9 ± 2.6) weeks,(22.6 ± 2.6) weeks] (P ＜0.01).VAS was (3.4 ±0.5) points in PFNA group versus (6.2± 1.3) points in Gamma nail group (P ＜ 0.01).At postoperative 2 weeks,6 months and 12 months,Harris score in PFNA group [(62.4 ±4.9),(73.7 ± 6.3),(86.4 ± 3.7) points] were significantly higher than that in Gamma nail group [(50.1 ± 4.7),(65.5 ± 6.1),(81.0 ± 3.5) points] (P ＜ 0.01).At postoperative 6 months and 12 months,Barthel index in PFNA group (76.4 ± 6.3,88.1 ± 7.0) were significantly higher than that in Gamma group (70.4 ±5.4,81.3 ±6.9) (P ＜0.01).No implant failure,screw cut-out,coxa vara or fracture displacement occurred.One patient (3％) in Gamma nail group had surgical wound infection compared to PFNA group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In treatment of proximal femoral fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures,the lengthened PFNA fixation has advantages over Gamma nail in terms of minor trauma,rapid postoperative recovery and significant effect.

Objective To evaluate denervation changes [fibrillation potentials (fib) and positive sharp waves (psw)] in thoracic paraspinal muscles as diagnostic aids in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Methods The fib and psw of thoracic paraspinal muscles,the motor unit potential of sternocleidomastoid muscle were detected in 50 patients who had been identified as having ALS.Age and sex-matched,30 normal subjects and 30 patients who suffered radicular disease in cervical or lumbosacral region were also detected in thoracic paraspinal muscles for finding fib and psw serving as controls. Results In ALS group,a vast of fib and psw were found in thoracic paraspinal muscles in 41 of 50 ALS patients (82%),they were not found with sternocleidomastoid muscle,but the motor unit potential of this muscle was shown having long-duration and high-amplitude in 48 of 50 ALS patients (96%),which were coincided with the chronic neurogenic changes.6 of 50 patients had denervation changes of tongue muscles,3 of them found fib and psw.2 of 30 patients who suffered from radicular diseases were found with a few of fib and psw changes in thoracic paraspinal muscles.None of these symptoms were found in normal subjects.Conclusion A vast of fib and psw in thoracic paraspinal muscles should represent a sensitive tool for diagnosis of ALS.
