Objectives Understanding the characteristic changes of Keshan disease (KD) in different epidemic period to provide reference basis for prevention and teatment. Methods On the basis of medical record as fundamental element, the relative conditions of Keshan disease's prevailing and spreading period were compared. Results In high incidence years, familial aggregation [accounted for 12%(6/50)] and seasonal aggregation were found, and KD cases occurred mainly from May to September, which was 78% (39/50)of the total cases in the whole year. Circulatory dysfunction(gallop rhythm, pulmonary role, jugular venous engorgement, cyanosis of lips) was more severe in high incidence years than that in low incidence years(X2=8.53,P<0.01). The average age of incidence was (4.07±1.46) years old in high incidence years and (6.11±2.71) years old in low incidence years. The type constitution in high incidence years was significantly different from that in low incidence years (X2=40.68, P<0.01), and chronic type of KD accounted for 22.85%(707/3094),46.09%(53/115), respectively, in high and low incidence years. Conclusions Making a further research of seizure of disease, and improving diagnosis and cure management level are also the important content for prevention and cure research work of Keshan disease at right time.

Objective To obtain the specific antigens of the expressed major capsid proteins from Noroviruses with different sub-genotypes in Beijing area. Methods The full-length genes of the major capsid proteins (VP1)were obtained through the amplification of the VP1 encoding gene in the recombinant plasmids pBST-CR2987(G Ⅱ-3)and pBST-CR2932(GⅡ-4),which represented different Norovirus geno-types. The full-length genes were sub-cloned into the expression vector pET-30a(+),resulting in a recombinant plasmid, with which the BL21 competent cells were transformed, and the expression of the gene was induced by adding IPTG to the growth culture. The expression of the major capsid proteins were analyzed with Coomassie blue staining after SDS-PAGE, and assayed by Western blot with serum from human. Results (1)The major capsid protein genes of CR2987 and CR2932 were sub-cloned into expression vector pET-30a(+). The VP1 encoding genes were 1647 bp in length for CR2987 and 1623 bp for CR2932. The open reading frames(ORF)coded for 549 and 541 amino acids for these two proteins, respectively. (2)The expressed VP1s were present primarily as inclusion bodies,and the maximal amount of the expressed proteins occurred at 4-6 h after IPTG induction.(3)These VP1s could be recognized by specific immune serum against VP1 of Norovirus as well as His-tag antibody. Conclusion The VP1s of CR2987 and CR2932 are expressed in BL21 E.coli cells.The expressed VP1s could react with specific immune serum against VP1 of Norovirus, indicating that the expressed VP1s are of antigenicity.

BACKGROUND: The Chinese medicine, Sheng-Ji Ointment, is utilized to cure bone defect due to infectious open fractures in the clinical field. So it was imagined that it was a new inductive factor of osteogenesis and its ingredients could acceleate the proliferation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and induce them into osteoblasts. In our primary experiment, the Sheng-Ji liquor, which was extracted from the same Chinese herbs with Sheng-Ji Ointment, had been identified that it affected the proliferation of BMSCs with its different concentration.OBJECTTVE: To investigate the effect of Sheng-Ji liquor on the osteogenesis of in vitro cultured BMSCs from rabbit tibia.DESTGN: An observation in single kind of sample.SETTING: Orthopaedic Research Institute of Tianjin Hospital.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Tissue Engineering Laboratory of Tianjin Orthopadic Institute of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine from October 2004 to December 2005. BMSCs were obtainedfrom male healthy Japanese long-eared rabbits of 3 months old, (3.5±0.5) kg. Sheng-Ji liquor (5×102 g/L) was extracted from the Chinese herbs with Sheng-Ji Ointment (Tianjin Factory of Chinese Crude-drug and Cut Crude-drug), including the crude drugs of angelica, rehmannia dride rhizome, carapax testudinis, corium elephatis and crinis carbonisatus.METHODS: The Sheng-Ji liquor was put to BMSCs in different concentrations of 25, 8.3, 5 g/L. Basic medium without Sheng-Ji liquor was taken as blank control, while the standard-controlled medium contained the ingredients of the following blank-controlled medium, dexamethasone 10-8 mol/L, vitamin C 0.05 g/L and β-sodium glycerophosphate 10 mmol/L. The BMSCs passaged in different conditions were seeded in plate and cultured for 2-3 weeks, then the mineralized nodes were observed under inverted fluorescence microscope, and the cell expressions were observed with acheomycin labeling and collegan Ⅰ immunohistochemical staining. The culture medium was collected to determine the contents of extracellular and intracellular alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin (OCN) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), then the ratios of ALP/LDH and OCN/LDH were calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: After 2 and 3-week culture, the mineralized nodes, results of acheomycin labeling and collegan Ⅰ immunohistochemical staining, and the ratios of ALP/LDH and OCN/LDH were observed.were prolonged, proliferated assembly and overlapped. The inter-cell limits disappeared gradually and sporadic cellular Results of acheomycin labeling and collegan Ⅰ immunohistochemical staining: There were positive cells and mineralized nodes in all of groups with Sheng-Ji liquor and standard-controlled group. BMSCs of the blank-controlled group were negative. The positive cells and mineralized nodes were green with yellowish color under irrigation of fluorescence; The results of immunocytochemistry for collagen Ⅰ were positive in all of groups with Sheng-Ji liquor and standard-controlled group. The result of blank-controlled group was negative. The positive induced BMSCs had the cytoplasm with granula of highest as compared with the other groups (P ＜ 0.05). The ratios of ALP/LDH and OCN/LDH in the other groups were close (P ＞ 0.05).
