Objective:To establish a quantitative method for determination of CK19 mRNA with TaqMan real time quantitative RT-PCR.Methods: A 230 bp fragment of CK19 mRNA was amplified from the total RNA of gastric cancer cells using RT-PCR methods and was introduced into pMD 18-T Simple vector.The plasmid was purified and the fluorescent standard PCR product was prepared.The expression levels of CK19 mRNA in standard PCR product,5 tumor tissue specimens and 30 healthy subjects were observed.Results: A 230 bp fragment of CK19 mRNA was successfully cloned into the pMD 18-T Simple vector and was verified by sequence analysis.A stable standard for detection of CK19 mRNA was established,that is,when C_(T) was set within 35 cycles,negative specimen was defined when the result was lower than 100 copies.Conclusion: TaqMan real time quantitative RT-PCR is stable and reliable in quantitative detection of CK19 mRNA in peripheral blood.

Parenteral nutrition associated cholestasis (PNAC) mainly occurs in children. Currently identified risk factors include premature infants, lack of enteral feeding, repeated infections, and toxicity or nutrient deficiency of parenteral nutrition solution. Recent studies have shown that nuclear receptor-mediated bile acid transporter may be the key site of PNAC pathogenesis, in which some cytokines play important roles. New anti-cholestatic therapy based on the regulation of expression of these molecules may prevent end-stage liver disease caused by PNAC.

The involvement of oxidization of peroxid in the antigen-antibody reaction makes the cell membrane permeability enhanced, so the fluorescence-labeled antibody stain can infiltrate into the cell easily and contact the antigen rapidly and diffusely, and then the antigen-antibody crosslinking can be formed efficiently. With the enhanced staining efficiency, shortened test duration, simplified operation, increased positive detection rate and accuracy, the new technology lays a foundation of clinical definite, curative effect view and prognosis.

Objective: To explore expression of EBV-LMPI and ZEBRA in B cell in SLE patients. Methods: Labeled by immunofluoresence indirectly, determined by flow cytometry. Results: Expression of EBV-LMP1 and ZEBRA in SLE patients was higher than normal control P 0.05) . Conclusion: EBV may be induce SLE occurrence, reproduce of EBV can promote the development of SLE. Detection expression of EBVLMP1 and ZEBRA can use as a predicator of SLE activity.

Five compounds were isolated frorn the leaves of wild Ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A- Meyer)collected in Jilin Province. Their chemical structures were identified as ginsenoside-Rh2,-Rh1, -Rg2,-Rg1 and -Re on the basisof melting point,IR, 1H, 13CNMR, FAB-MS and chemical evidences.

Objective To investigate the effects of ?-aescin on nuclear factor-?B (NF-?B) activities and tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) protein expression in the rat brain tissue following acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods A total of 62 SD rats were subjected to a lateral cortical impact injury caused by a free-falling object and divided randomly into four groups, ie, sham operation group (Group A), injury group (Group B), ?-aescin treatment group (Group C) and pyrrolidine dithocarbamate (PDTC) treatment group (Group D). Group C was administered with ?-aescin and Group D treated with PDTC immediately after injury. A series of brain samples were obtained directly 6, 24 hours and three days respectively after operation in four groups. The NF-?B activation of rat brain was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and the levels of TNF-? protein in rat brain measured by radio-immunoassay (RIA). In the meantime, the water content of rat brain was measured and pathomorphological observation carried out. Results Compared with Group A, NF-?B activities, the levels of TNF-? protein and the water content of the rat brain were significantly increased (P

Objective To study the curative effect and medchanism of action about prostaglandin E1 and magnesium sulfate in the treatment of chronic pulmonary heart disease in the aggravation period. Methods Fifty-three patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease in the aggravation period were accepted emergencyward in the Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital during June 2007 to May 2008,they were randomly divided into the treatment group (28 case) and control group (25 case) . Both groups were given low flux breathe in oxygen and dissipate phlegm and relieve a cough and resist infection and spasmo]ysis and calm down asthma and strive heart and diuresis colligate therapy. Mean while,patients in the treatment group,beside the colligate therapy,were treated with prostaglandin E1 10 ml and magnesium sulfate 10 ml ,the course of treatment lasted 2 weeks. Then we investigate the amelioration of clinical symptom and alteration of blood gas analysis in the two groups before and after the treatment. Results The rate of clinical efficacy were 89.3% (25/28) and 76.0% (18/25),with superiority in the treatment group (χ2=1.87,P<0.05) . Whole blood viscosity,fibrinogen,PaO2 and PaCO2 were improved in both groups,amelioration of blood gas analysis observation superiority in the treatment group compared with control group (P<0.05). Conclu-sions Prostaglandin E1 and magnesium sulfate can depress pulmonary artery pressure and abate the afterload of right ventricle,which have better treatment effect in chronic pulmonary heart disease in the aggravation period.

Age-related macular degeneration(AMD) is a macular disease and its incidence is gradually increasing with age.It is thought that its pathogenesis is related to the age,heredity,smoking,diet,oxidative stress,immune inflammation reaction and cardiovascular disease and so on.Oxidative stress is closely related to AMD.Antioxidant therapy provides a new strategy for the prevention and treatment of AMD.Also,it provides a new way to alleviate and prevent AMD.
