Objective To analyze the nucleotide sequences of novel allele HLA-B*4608. Methods Genomic DNA of the proband was extracted from whole blood by the commercial DNA extraction kit. The HLA-B exons 1-8 of the proband was amplified and the amplified product was cloned by TOPO TA cloning sequencing kit to split the two alleles apart. Both strands of exons 2, 3 and 4 of chosen colonies were sequenced. Results The sequencing results showed HLA-B alleles of the proband as B*5502 and a new allele as proved by blast search. The sequences of the novel allele have been submitted to Genbank(DQ177521,DQ177522,DQ177523). The new allele is similar to HLA-B*4601 except for two nucleotide substitutions in exon 3: T to C at nucleotide position 538 and G to T at nucleotide position 539. These result in an amino acid substitution at codon 156 from W to L. Conclusion This allele is a novel allele and has been officially named B*4608 by the WHO Nomenclature Committee.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of multifocal choroiditis (MC) and guide the diagnosis and treatment. Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical data of 18 MC cases (28 eyes) who were diagnosed through fluorescein angiography (FFA) or indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and fundus characteristics. Results Multiple round to oval lesions scattered throughout the posterior pole and peripheral areas of ocular fundi of all of the 28 eyes(binocular in 10 and monocular in 8) were found. Active focal lesions of ocular fundi were seen in 8 patients and inactive lesions in 10 patients. active and 10 cases were inactive. Choroidal neovascularization(CNV) in macular area was found in 7 patients. The images of FFA of the legions showed hypofluorescence in the early phase, with late leakage and gradual staining or window is defect in the late phase. Conclusions MC is a rare disease and often misdiagnosed to other disease and FFA helpful in diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: Nasal alar cartilage constitutes the main component of the lower 1/3 of the nose, that is, nose tip, nose wing, and nasal columella, its structure has a decisive role on the nose shape, especially the tip of the nose shape. The intensive study on nasal alar cartilage will help deepen our understandings of nasal alar cartilage morphology, structure and function, and help clinicians to correctly handle the lesions of nose and the lower part and to carry out medical beauty. OBJECTIVE: By observing external nasal anatomy, to clarify the histological role of nasal alar cartilage on nose shape, especially the nasal tip shape.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Experimental observation of repeated measurement was conducted at the Laboratory of Anatomy, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from September 1~(st) to 26~(th), 2006.MATERIALS: Well-preserved bodies of 15 fresh adult, containing 10 males and 5 females were used in this study.METHODS: To fully observe the fine structure of external nose, 30 sides of 15 external noses were dissected, and autopsy started from the medium dorsum of nose, layered anatomy, to observe various layers and the characteristics of the layers with blood vessels, focusing on observation of in vitro pre - and free post-nasal alar cartilage morphology, and measurement and recording were performed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Big foot medial alar cartilage, lateral feet and the angle of inside and outside legs were measured.RESULTS: Alar cartilage was open for a pair of backward "u"-shaped thin cartilage plate, and lateral nasal cartilage was located below and anteriomedialis the nose, was composed of medial and lateral crus and fornix, with thin body shape, unfixed structure. The shape of fornix was difficult to accurately describe; most presented wavy or folded. Lateral crus presented diamond-shaped or long strip, (16.21±2.71) mm in length, (8.45±1.72) mm in width, (1.09±0.18) mm in thickness. Cephalic rim intersected lower edge of lateral nasal cartilage, and slightly covered the lower edge of the lateral nasal cartilage, so that the two were overlapped, but also only the intersection without overlapping. Lateral crus constituted the base of nasal wings. Narrow medial crus formed nasal tip and the frame of front nasal columeila, showing posteroinferior curve or S shape, (13.06±2.16) mm in length, (3.79±0.58) mm in width, (1.02±0.18) mm in thickness. The left and right medial crus in the middle were connected by connective tissue, and in the same way connected to the anterior margin of the lateral nasal cartilage. Medial and lateral crus in the nasal tip showed an acute angle intersection, its angle (75.25±11.17)°. The medial and lateral crus intersected in the nasal tip and formed the fomix of the greater alar cartilage. The bilateral cornix constituted the frame of the nasal tip. CONCLUSION: Meager nasal alar cartilage is composed of the medial crus, lateral crus and fornix, which determined the nose shape, especially the nasal tip shape. External nose plastic surgery should pay attention to the protection of nasal alar cartilage.

Objective To summarize the experience of isolating influenza virus from MDCK cell , and to optimize the isolation method for influenza isolation and raise the ability of influenza surveillance. Methods Sixty-one cases of influenza viruses positive specimens identified with PCR method by the influenza network laboratory in Xianyang CDC were used to infect the MDCK cells. The influenza viruses-infected MDCK cells were collected and characterized by hemagglutination test and hemagglutination inhibition assay. Meanwhile , different concentrations of glutamine liquid were added to the medium to investigate the effect of glutamine on the growth of MDCK cells. Results Twenty five flu strains were isolated from 61 cases influenza viruses positive specimens , of which 18 were A (H3N2) subtype strains and 7 were A (H1N1) subtype strains. The titer of HA was higher than 1∶16, and the titer of HI was higher than 1 ∶ 640. The proliferation rate of MDCK cells was low, and the cell activity was also decreased at 48 h after incubation with glutamine concentration lower than 0.1%. Conclusions The influenza viruses were isolated from the MDCK cells. The glutamine concentration is strongly associated with the activity of MDCK cells and cell apoptosis.

Background Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (RIR) injury is a common pathologic change.Its mechanism has not been identified.Objective This study was to investigate the relationship of microRNA-181a (miR-181a) ,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and retinal ganglial cells (RGCs) in RIR injury.Methods RIR models were induced in 68 rats,then the rats were randomly divided into control group and RIR groups,including 0hour group,24-hour group and 72-hour group by random number table.Predicted target gene TNF-α was chosen,according to M iRanda,Targetscan and miRBase databases.Immunofluorescent labeling, Western blot and quantitative real-time PCR were used to identify the expression levels of miR-181a,TNF-α and RGCs.Immunofluorescent labeling of RGCs in retinal flat mounts was analyzed for RGCs counts.Results Compared with the control group, RGCs densitiy was obviously decreased in 24-hour and 72-hour RIR groups (P＜0.001).The expression level of mir-181a significantly decreased with reperfusion time in the RIR groups (P＜0.05).Futhermore, the expression level of miR181a was positively correlated with RGCs numbers (r=0.995 ,P=0.005).TNF-α and miR-181a were mainly located in inner layers of retina.As opposed to the changes in RGCs numbers and miR-181a expression,TNF-α in 24-hour group was obviously higher than that of the 0-hour group, though there was no statistical significance in overall correlation analysis.Conclusions In RIR,miR-181a may be involved in regulating RGCs apoptosis.TNF-α may be a target gene of miR-181 a.Interventions within 24 hours after reperfusion might be critical.Further study of miR181 a may help to explore new molecular targets for neuroprotection treatment.

Objective To study the effect of Pingl? Formula (PL) on the arrhythmia of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods Rat arrhythmia models were established by occlusion of the LAD coronary artery for 15 min and thereafter reperfusion for 45 min.At the same time,the changes were observed on lead Ⅱ dynamic ECG.The activities of Ca~(2+)-ATPase,Mg~(2+)-ATPase,and Na~+,K~+-ATPase were determined, respectively.The levels of ATP,total adenine nucleotides(TAN),and energy charge(EC) of the myocardial organized energy state were analyzed by RP-HPLC.Results PL(ig 0.04,0.20,and 1.00 g/kg) showed to decrease the incidence of arrhythmia induced by ischemia-reperfusion,shorten the duration of ventricular arrhythmia and eliminate the incidence of ventricular fibrillation.The activities of Ca~(2+)-ATPase,Mg~(2+)-ATPase,and Na~+,K~+-ATPase were increased by PL.In the PL(0.04,0.20,and 1.00 g/kg) groups,ATP levels recovered to 58%,68%,and 86% as compared with normal group,simul-taneously,TAN values were enhanced to 25%,49%,and 66% and EC values to 24%,27%,and 29%, respectively.Conclusion PL has obvious antiarrhythmic effect on rat,the protective action is related to the improvement of energy metabolism.

Objective To analyze the molecular genetic basis of novel allele HLA-B * 9534 and establish the allele group specific primer PCR method. Methods Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood by commercial DNA extraction kit. The HLA-B exons 1 to 8 coding sequences of the proband were am-plified by PCR and the amplification product was purified with double enzymes digestion and both strands of exons 2, 3 and 4 were sequenced. The exon 2-4 amplification of the HLA-B * 9534 was performed with al-lele group specific primers PCR and the PCR product was directly sequenced for exon 2 to 4. Results The proband has two HLA-B alleles. The result was assigned for HLA-B * 1518 and B * 4601 combination with a mismatch in 593A/G heterozygote by DNA sequencing of exon 2 to 4 with loci primers. After separating the two alleles of the proband with allele group specific primers polymerase chain reaction method, HLA-B * 4601 and HLA-B * 9534 alleles were identified after sequencing. The HLA-B * 9534 is identical to HLA-B * 1518 except for one nucleotide substitutions in exon 3 at position 593 A→G, this results in amino acid substitution at cedon 174 from Asn to Ser. The sequences of the novel allele have been submitted to GenBank (EU046491) and the allele has been officially nominated by the WHO Nomenclature Committee. Conclusion Identification of a novel HLA-B * 9534 allele and allele group specific primer PCR for HLA-B * 9534 was re-liable.
