ObjectiveThrough the examination of Clostridium difficile (Cd) in the stool of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients to investigate its infection status in IBD patients and the relationship with IBD.MethodsFrom December 2009 to January 2011,a total of 130 diagnosed IBD patients were collected in the Department of Gastroenterology,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of medicine,including 60 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and 70 Crohn's disease (CD) patients.At same time.60 irritable bowel syndrome patients and 60 healthy volunteers were collected as control.Stool samples were tested by PCR and Cd toxin A/B test kit (CDTK).SPSS statistical software was used for statistical analysis.ResultsIn 130 enrolled IBD patients,16 cases (12.3％) were Cd infected,of which 10 were UC cases (16.7％) and 6 were CD cases (8.6％).No Cd infection was found positive in control group (x2 =15.779,P=0.000).The infection rate of Cd in the patients of active stage was higher than that in the patients of inactive stage (x2 =10.092,P=0.001).The infection rate of coion-type CD patients was 4/14,which was significantly higher than those of other types CD patients (x2 =13.125,P=0.001).The infection rate of Cd was 4.5％ in mild UC patients,14.3％ in moderate and 6/17 in severe (x2 =6.667,P=0.037) ; the infection rate were 0％ in mild CD patients,4.2％ in moderate and 5/16 in severe.The infection rate increased along with the increase of The disease severity (x2 =13.907,P=0.000).There was no significant difference in the infection rate of Cd between broad-spectrum antibiotics used and not used patients (x2 =1.414,P =0.378), or between patients with broad-spectrum antibioticsused aloneand combinedwith immunosuppressant (x2 =0.330,P=0.962).ConclusionsThere was certain infection rate of Cd in IBD patients,especially the patients in active stage. The infection rate increased along with the increase of the IBD severity.

Objective To analyze the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test-Third Edition (RBMT-III). Methods The items of RBMT-III were translated in Chinese and adjusted. A total of 131 healthy subjects were tested with Chinese version of RBMT-III, 30 of them were tested again with other materials two weeks later. Results The Cronbach'sαcoefficient was 0.799. The correlation coefficient of parallel-forms in subtest scale and meory index were all more than 0.65. There were six main fac-tors extracted, which explained 64.47%of the accumulated variance, those were novel task learning, spatial memory, verbal memory, visual memory, prospective memory and orientation/date. Conclusion RBMT-III is a reliable and validated instrument for assessment of memory.

Objective To study the photodynamic therapeutical efficacy of a novel photosensitizer DTP on sensitive gastric cancer cells (SGC7901) and vincristine-resistant gastric cancer cells (SGC7901/VCR).Methods The P-gp expression on the SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cell membrane was indirectly confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.The survival rates of SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cells were evaluated by cell counting kit (CCK-8) after photodynamic therapy with DTP.The intracellular DTP uptake levels of two types of cell were determined using a fluorescence spectrophotometer,and the intracellular DTP distributions were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy.Results The novel photosensitizer DTP has considerable photodynamic cytotoxic effect on SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cells.However,this effect on the SGC7901NCR cells was relatively weak (P＜0.05),and could not be enhanced by P-gp inhibitor verapamil or cyclosporine A(P＞0.05).The DTP uptake level in SGC7901 cells was higher than that in SGC7901/VCR cells (P＜0.05),and could not be enhanced by P-gp inhibitor verapamil and cyclosporin A (P＞0.05).It was found that DTP distributed in the lysosomes of SGC7901 cells and in the lysosomes and mitochondria of SGC7901/VCR cells.Conclusions The novel photosensitizer DTP is not the substrate of multidrug transporter P-gp,and its weaker photodynamic cytotoxic effect on SGC7901/VCR cells is independent of the P-gp overexpression on its cell membrane,which may be related to the distribution of intracellular DTP in the two types of cell.

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have shown that nuclear factor-KB (NF-kB) was positively correlated with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the cerebral hypoxia region. Thus, we assumed whether NF-kB in the pathway of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α) upregulating VEGF and plays a bridge effect.OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of NF-kB in HIF-1α pathway of increasing expression of VEGF using HIF-1α-modified neural stem cells (NSCs) as vectors.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro observation of cytology was conducted at the Neuroscience Institute, Jiamusi University from March to December 2008.MATERIALS: Wistar rats aged less than 24 hours of both genders were used.METHODS: NSCs were transfected after amplification of adenovirus vector HIF-1α (AdHIF-ia)-green fluorescent protein (GFP).Fluorescence detection was used to determine HIF-1α-GFP and blank vector Ad-GFP expression in NSCs. Protein was extracted from transfected NSCs, blank vector NSCs and normal NSCs, separately. Subsequently, NF-kB specific inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) (50,150, 300 μmol/L) was added in HIF-1α-modified NSCs. Western blot analysis was used to determine changes in VEGF expression.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The following parameters were measured: expression of HIF-1α, VEGF and NF-kB in NSCs in each group; VEGF expression in NSCs following treatment of NF-kB specific inhibitor.RESULTS: Gene expression was associated with MOI and transfected time following AdHIF-1α-GFP transfected with NSCs. After transfected AdHIF-1α-GFP in NSCs, HIF-1α, VEGF and NF-kB expression was positively correlated. Expression of VEGF was reduced in AdHIF-1α-GFP-modified NSCs following treatment of NF-kB inhibitor PDTC in a concentration-dependent fashion.There were significant differences in VEGF expression between each concentration group (P < 0.05-0.01).CONCLUSION: NF-kB in signaling pathway of HIF-1α-upregulated VEGF expression and played a bridging effect.

A new fusion expression vector, pED-P8-Hi-lys was designed and constructed. It includes four parts, a 20 peptide sequence of hirudin that can maintain anticoagulant activity, the C-terminus of asparaginase as a fusion partner, basic octopeptide (KRKRKKSR) that makes the fusion partner easy to remove, and the unique acid-labile aspartyl-prolyl bond. It was transformed into E. coli BL-21 and the fusion protein (AnsB-C-P8-Hi-lys) was expressed effectively as inclusion bodies after inducing by lactose. The objective peptide Hi-lys was purified by means of cell disruption, washing, ethanol precipitation, acid hydrolysis, and DEAE-cellulose 52 column chromatography. The antithrombin activity of the purified Hi-lys peptide was about 50 ATU/mg by thrombin activity assays.
