Tetraspanins belongs to the transmembrane 4 superfamily(TM4SF). They can be as a bridge to connect the proteins outside or inside the cell membrane. A tetraspanins web is formed by the tetraspnins-proteins complex, and the web is believed to involve in fundamental functions of immunity system, and consequnently, signaling between cells and inside cells, regulating cell activation and adhesion, participating in the identification and infection of some virus. As a family of conservative transmembrane proteins, tetraspanins play multiplex roles in invertebrate. It was described how tetraspanin microdomains might have functions in the immune system, and how they contact with virus. In addition, the important role of tetraspanins in the innate immune system of invertebrate were discussed.

Objective To analyze the varus deformity of caput humeri and its correlation with fuuctional outcome of unstable proximal humeral fracture managed with locking plate.Methods The study involved 62 patients (24 males and 38 females,at age range of 32-83 years,mean 63.7 years)with proximal humeral fracture who were treated by open reduction and locking plate internal fixation from May 2008 to June 2010 and had full follow-up data.According to Neer classification,there were 11 patients with two parts fractures,41 with three parts fractures,five with four parts fractures and five with dislocation.Their clinical results were evaluated with Constant-Murley scores.ResultsThe mean duration of follow-up was 20.3 months (range,14-37 months),which showed fracture healing in all the patients.There were 11 patients with varus deformity of the caput humeri. The significant difference was found in Constant-Murley score of shoulder function ( P =0.045 ),forward elevation ( P =0.006 ) and abduction (P =0.022) between the varus and non-varus groups.But there was no significant difference in shoulder external rotation( P =0.08 ).The fracture types ( P =0.037 ) and varus deformity of caput humeri ( P =0.006) were closely correlated with the shoulder function between two groups.ConclusionsThe varus deformity of caput humeri mav be predictive factor for poor outcome of the unstable proximal humeral fracture. Restoration of humeral head-shaft alignment and sound reduction should be done as possible during operation.

The present paper is to study the center line of the plantar pressure of normal young people, and to find the relation between center line of the plantar pressure and gait stability and balance. The paper gives the testing principle and calculating methods for geometric center of plantar pressure distribution and the center of pressure due to the techniques of footprint frame. The calculating formulas in both x direction and y direction are also deduced in the paper. In the experiments carried out in our laboratory, the gait parameters of 131 young subjects walking as usual speed were acquired, and 14 young subjects of the total were specially analyzed. We then provided reference data for the walking gait database of young people, including time parameters, space parameters and plantar pressure parameters. We also obtained the line of geometry center and pressure center under the foot. We found that the differences existed in normal people's geometric center line and the pressure center line. The center of pressure trajectory revealed foot movement stability. The length and lateral changes of the center line of the plantar pressure could be applied to analysis of the plantar pressure of all kinds of people. The results in this paper are useful in clinical foot disease diagnosis and evaluation of surgical effect.

Objective To study the structural features and characteristics of a novel gene Schistosoma japonicum 79(Sj79), and observe its effect of RNA interference(RNAi),so as to provide the experimental basis for its further function study and mechanism study of anti reproductive development of schistosome. Methods The gene structure and characteristics of Sj79 were analyzed by bioinformatics methods. Then the expressions of Sj79 messenger RNA(mRNA)during the different develop?mental stages of schistosome were analyzed and the effects of RNAi silencing were observed by the soaking method. The tran?scriptional levels of Sj79 after RNAi were detected by real time PCR. Results The open reading frame of Sj79 contained 696 base pairs with an exon structure. The gene had obvious stage specificity,and its transcriptional level in mature female worms was the highest. After soaking for 3 d,the Sj79 mRNA level[(41.0 ± 12.3)%]in the siRNA?1 group with low dosage(20 nmol/L) was lower than that in the siRNA?NC group[(103.2 ± 14.4)%],the difference was statistically significant(t=3.28,P<0.05). When with high dosage(200 nmol/L ),both the Sj79 mRNA levels in the siRNA?1 group[(15.8 ± 10.9)%]and siRNA?2 group [(11.1 ± 8.8)%]were significantly lower than that in the siRNA?NC group[(100.1 ± 6.3)%](t=13.44,27.84,both P<0.01). After soaking for 7 d,only the Sj79 mRNA levels in the siRNA?1group[(43.4 ± 4.5)%]and siRNA?2 group[(62.5 ± 5.4)%]with low dosage were lower than that in the siRNA?NC group[(100.4 ± 5.2)%],and the differences had statistical sig?nificance(t=8.33,5.07,both P<0.01). Conclusion Through this study,we have improved the mRNA sequence and genom?ic information of Sj79 gene,and understood its structural features,as well as selected out two effect fragments siRNA?1and siR? NA?2 which will provide the basic evidences for the further study on egg laying interference of the female adult worm of schisto?some in vitro.

[ ABSTRACT] Interstitial cells of Cajal ( ICC) is the pacemaker in the gastrointestinal tract , which is closely as-sociated with the formation of slow wave and the regulation of gastrointestinal motility .As the pacemaker of gastrointestinal tract, the activation of pacing signal is triggered by the local calcium oscillation in the ICC .The change of calcium concen-tration can activate many relevant ion channels , such as NSCC, ANO1, VGCC, HCN channels and potassium channels , which can generate a large number of pacing current to form the slow wave and then propagated by the gap junction between the ICC networks and smooth muscle cells to make the peristalsis of gastrointestinal tract in autonomic rhythm .However, the mechanism of these ion channels in the pacemaker activity is still unclear , so we refer to make a review about the re-search progress on these pacemaker channels in this article to illuminate the mechanism of pacemaker activity in ICC .

Objective To analyse the change of DNA methylation with 5-Azac injection in acute graft-versus-host dis- ease (aGVHD) mouse model, which received allogeneic bone marrow transplantation, and explore the immunomodulatory ef-fects of 5-Azac. Methods Male C57BL/6 (H-2b)and female BALB/c (H-2d) mice were selected as donor and recipient of complete allotransplantation. BABL/c mice were divided into two groups, transplantation control group and 5-Azac experi-mental group. At 1-7, 14, 21 and 28-day after transplantion, 5-Azac 0.25 mg/kg (0.3 mL/time) was injected by tail vein in experimental group, while the control group were injected with sterile water 0.3 mL/time. Peripheral blood DNA samples were collected from three control mice and three experimental mice, then mixed with equal amount respectively. The MeDIP-seq method was selected to detect methylation changes in mice, and the differential DNA methylation in the biological path-ways was analyzed. Results The survival time was prolonged, and the rejection reaction was decreased in 5-Azac experi-mental group, which suggested immune hyporesponsiveness post aGVHD. The MeDIP-seq result showed that 369 different DNA methylation located in the promoter regions, including 239 up-regulated genes and 130 down-regulated genes. There were 184 differential DNA methylation genes located in the exon regions, including 113 up-regulated genes and 71 down-regulated genes. Differential DNA methylation genes involved in 10 immunological signaling pathways, respectively. Among them, TGF-β, GSK-3β, SYK, PI3K, NFAT, CD28 andα4β7 were closely related to the development of aGVHD. Conclu-sion 5-Azac can effectively induce immune hyporesponsiveness post aGVHD by changing the gene methylation status.

Objective To explore the interaction of foot placement, trunk control and weight-bearing (WB) during sit-to-stand (STS) movement. Methods 32 hemiplegic stroke patients (experimental group) and 32 healthy people (control group) were recruited and completed STS movement with 3 different foot positions: ankle dorsiflexed 10° of both feet (BF), with the paretic foot posterior (PFP) or the undominant foot posterior (UDFP), with the non-paretic foot posterior (NPFP) or the dominant foot posterior (DFP). Balance function assessment system (model AL-080) was used for collecting the WB, WB asymmetry (WBasym), and the center of pressure of the buttocks in medial-lateral (CoPx) and anterior-posterior (CoPy) sway during STS movement. Results The control group had the mostly WB symmetry, and little trunk side movement in BF, and there was significant difference in all indicators compared with in DFP or UDFP. For the experiment group, the WB, WBasym and CoPx were different as BF from as NPFP (P<0.05); while all the indicators except CoPx were different from PFP. When PFP, the trunk moved to the non-paretic side, and then to paretic side, all the indicators were different from NPFP. When BF and NPFP of the experiment group compared with BF and DFP of the control group, all the indicators were different (P<0.05). CoPx and CoPy increased in the experiment group compared with the control group. CoPx negatively correlate with WBasym in the experiment group (r=-0.626, P<0.001) and in the control group (r=-0.776, P<0.001). Conclusion The trunk side movement affects weight-bearing symmetry, and foot placement can modify weight-bearing distribution during the STS movement in hemiplegic stroke patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of a new thermosensitive embolic agent in interventional arterial embolization treatment, and to evaluate its effectiveness and safety in treating inoperable advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Prospective, open and single center clinical study of a new thermosensitive embolic agent was conducted. A total of 10 patients with clinically confirmed inoperable advanced HCC were treated with percutaneous arterial embolization using thermosensitive embolic agent; a maximum of 4 therapeutic cycles were performed until the disease progressed. Objective effect was evaluated at (30 ±7) days after the treatment according to mRECIST standard; the progression free survival (PFS) time and the survival period (OS) were recorded. The adverse reactions and adverse events were determined by NCI-CTC 3.0 version standard. Results Ten patients (23 target lesions in total) were enrolled in this study. After the treatment, complete remission (CR) was obtained in one patient, partial remission (PR) in 3 patients, stable disease (SD) in 5 patients, and progress disease (PD) in one patient. The objective response rate (CR+PR) was 40%, and the disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) was 90%. The PFS of hepatic lesions was 18.4 weeks (95%CI:14.15-22.65), the cumulated median survival period was 46.2 weeks (95%CI:38.18-54.22). The most common adverse reactions included pain, fever, hepatic function damage, small amount of ascites, diarrhea, etc. Conclusion The new thermosensitive embolic agent is not sticky to vessel and is visible under X-ray; it has reliable embolization effect, and the therapeutic results can be easily evaluated. This embolic agent is not perfect, and it has some limitations in clinical use. The adverse reactions are mild, which can be easily tolerated by the patients. It is worth trying to carry out large sample and randomized controlled studies in order to open up more areas for arterial chemoembolization therapy of tumors.
