Objective To investigate the memory amelioration of the AD model rat after a single or combined transplantation of the neural stem cells(NSCs) modified with gene of NGF or GDNF. Methods The AD model rat was made by cutting unilaterally the fibria\|fornix of male SD rat.Eight to ten days after surgery,the genetically modified and unmodified NSCs were implanted into the lateral cerebral ventricle of the rats.Two weeks after transplantation,the amelioration of memory impairment of the rats were detected by Morris water maze. Results The average escape latencies of the last three blocks in NGF and NGF+GDNF groups were lesser,and the percentages of swim distance in the platform quadrant were greater than that in NSC group( P

Objective To explore a new high-throughput method with internal standards for analyzing the methylation profiles of lung cancer related genes. Methods The promoter sequences of 7 lung cancer related genes were cloned into plasmids and the target segments were amplified by their special primers respectively. The products were treated with M. Sss Ⅰ methylase and bisulfite. The multiplex ligation PCR method was established by designing probes containing CpGpCpG(for methylatedsequence) at the 3' ends and choosing the optimal ligation enzyme, annealing and ligation temperatures. The standard calibrators and clinic samples were tested by fluid chip platform. The results were validated by methylationspecific PCR. Results We successfully set up the standard calibrators for methylation and unmethylaiton of 7 lung cancer related genes and established a multiplex ligation PCR combined with fluid chip method, which was used to detect methylation status of 7 genes simultaneously. The fluorescence value of p16INK4A, APC,DAPK, RARIβ, RASSF1 A, MGMT and GSTP1 methylation standard calibrators were 863,909,703,701,901,1 060 and 885, much higher than that of unmethylation standard calibrators. The results were consistent with the results of methylation-specific PCP. ConclusionThe new high-throughput method can be used to evaluate the methylation status of 7 lung cancer related genes simultaneously and might be useful for clinical practice.

Objective To explore the influence of WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode on refracture of osteoporotic fracture patients.Methods Totally 100 osteoporotic fracture patients admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of the hospital from 2018 to 2019 were selected and randomly divided into control group and experimental group with 50 patients in each group.The control group adopted the conventional discharge rehabilitation guidance mode,and the experimental group implemented WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode on this basis,including WeChat platform construction and detailed intervention mode.The changes of bone mineral density and the recurrence rate of osteoporotic fracture were compared between the two groups at admission and after 3 years of follow-up.Results There were 7 cases of lost follow-up in the experimental group,and there were 6 cases of lost follow-up in the control group.After 3 years,the bone mineral density of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group,and the recurrence fracture rate was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of WeChat platform rehabilitation guidance mode can effectively improve bone density and reduce the incidence of refracture in osteoporotic fracture patients.

OBJECTIVETo study the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus genotype and its characteristics.

METHODSA SARS-associated coronavirus isolate named ZJ01 was obtained from throat swab samples taken from a patient in Hangzhou, Zhejing province. The complete genome sequence of ZJ01 consisted of 29,715 bp (GenBank accession: AY297028, version: gi: 30910859). Seventeen SARS-associated coronavirus genome sequences in GenBank were compared to analyze the common sequence variations and the probability of co-occurrence of multiple polymorphisms or mutations. Phylogenetic analysis of those sequences was done.

RESULTSBy bioinformatics processing and analysis, the 5 loci nucleotides at ZJ01 genome were found being T, T, G, T and T, respectively. Compared with other SARS-associated coronavirus genomes in the GenBank database, an A/G mutation was detected besides the other 4 mutation loci (C:G:C:C/T:T:T:T) involved in this genetic signature. Therefore a new definition was put forward according to the 5 mutation loci. SARS-associated coronavirus strains would be grouped into two genotypes (C:G:A:C:C/T:T:G:T:T), and abbreviated as SARS coronavirus C genotype and T genotype. On the basis of this new definition, the ZJ01 isolate belongs to SARS-associated coronavirus T genotype, first discovered and reported in mainland China. Phylogenetic analysis of the spike protein gene fragments of these SARS-associated coronavirus strains showed that the GZ01 isolate was phylogenetically distinct from other isolates, and compared with groups F1 and F2 of the T genotype, the isolates of BJ01 and CUHK-W1 were more closely related to the GZ01 isolate. It was interesting to find that two (A/G and C/T) of the five mutation loci occurred in the spike protein gene, which caused changes of Asp to Gly and Thr to Ile in the protein, respectively.

CONCLUSIONAttention should be paid to whether these genotype and mutation patterns are related to the virus's biological activities,epidemic characteristics and host clinical symptoms.
