2.Protective Immunity Induced by Recombinant Signaling Protein 14-3-3 Vaccine of Schistosoma japonicum
Chinese Journal of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases 1997;0(05):-
Objective To evaluate the immunoprotective effect of Schistosoma japonicum (Chinese strain) recombinant signaling protein 14-3-3(rSj14-3-3), and to observe the synergism of rSj14-3-3 and rSjGST proteins as candidate vaccine and the effect of ??-T cells activated by Mtb against Schistosoma japonicum. Methods BALB/c mice immunized with rSj14-3-3 and rSjGST purified through SDS-PAGE, electroelution and dialysis were challenged by cercaria infection. Six weeks after challenging infection, the mice were killed and the worm and egg reduction rates were calculated. Results Worm reduction rate was found to be 32.20% in rSj14-3-3+Freund adjuvant group, 31.10% in rSj14-3-3+rSjGST+Freund adjuvant group, 27.96% in rSj14-3-3+Mtb group, 26.00% in rSj14-3-3+rSjGST+Mtb group, and 27.10 % in rSjGST+Mtb group, respectively, number of eggs in liver tissue was reduced by 50.40%, 53.30%, 51.10%, 58.60% and 51.30%, respectively. Conclusion rSj14-3-3 could induce partial immunity against Schistosoma japonicum in BALB/c mice, and might serve as a candidate vaccine; ??-T cell activated by Mtb played a role in anti-Schistosoma japonicum similar to the immune reactions induced by Freund adjuvant, but no synergistic effect combined with rSjGST was observed.

Objective To study the localization of the signaling protein 14-3-3 of Schistosoma japonicum (Sj14-3-3)in the parasite. Methods Cercariae were collected from the infected Oncomelania hupensis for the infection of rabbits. Fifteen-day-old schistosomula and adult worms obtained from infected rabbits 15 and 42 days post-infection were used for frozen sections and indirect immunofluorescence staining with monoclonal antibody to rSj14-3-3. Results The results showed that the Sj14-3-3 distributed mainly in the tegument, subtegument, muscle, and parenchyma of both adult worms and 15-day-old schistosomula. Conclusion The wide distribution and large sites of Sj14-3-3 in the parasite were clearly demonstrated, which established a significant clue for further studies of biologic actions and application of 14-3-3 protein.
4.Artificial liver support therapy in patients with liver failure
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2011;18(2):109-112
Despite a combination of all available treatment, the mortality of liver failure is very high,especially in children patients. Artificial liver support methods have been tested for over 50 years. Standard techniques of blood purification like hemodialysis, adsorption, hemo or plasma filtration as well as bioreactorbased approaches using liver cells or tissues have been used. It' s believed that the damaged liver has the ability to return to normal. Artificial liver support systems are expected to be useful for temporary support of liver function. If the liver does not regenerate to normal functions, an artificial liver support system may be useful as a bridge to liver transplantation. In conclusion, artificial liver support method appears to be a reliable therapy for advanced liver diseases and has significantly decreased the mortality of liver failure. Artificial liver support system has been used in children patients as well, but it still needs more researches.

Recent reports have suggested that cytomegalovirus infection associated with lipid metabolism, and play an important role in the pathogenesis of many diseases, such as hepatitis, atherosclerosis, isolated syndrome, metabolic syndrome, etc. This article summarized the relationship between cytomegalovirus infection and lipid metabolism, as well as its role in a variety of diseases progression.
6.Quantitative detection of the expression level of transforming growth factor-β1 and-β2 in rat retina with real time PCR
International Eye Science 2008;8(6):1076-1078
AIM: To quantitatively detect the expression level of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and transforming growth factor-β2 (TGF-β2) genes in the retina of normal rat in order to determine the expression difference of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 in retina.METHODS: The total RNA was isolated from which the first strand of cDNA was prepared. The mRNA levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 were detected quantitatively by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).RESULTS: The mRNA levels of TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 were 0.0008±0.0003 and 0.0378±0.009, respectively. Expression of TGF-β2 was obviously higher than that of TGF-β1 in rat retina with statistical significance (t=12.37, P<0.001). The ratio of TGF-β2/TG-β1 was 55.00±26.61.CONCLUSION: QRT-PCR could specifically and accurately detect gene expression level in rat retina. In retina the TGF-β2 gene was expressed more abundantly than TGF-β1. It is suggested that TGF-β2 play an important role in retina diseases.

The ratio of TβRⅠ/TβRⅡ was 3.9±1.7.CONCLUSION: Real time quantitative RT-PCR is an effective method to detect differential expression genes in retina. The change of TβRⅠ/TβRⅡ expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis of retinopathy, which could be further investigated in its significance in the development of proliferation retinopathy.
8.Gene expression of transforming growth factor-β2 in retina of diabetic rats
International Eye Science 2008;8(6):1065-1069
AIM: To detect the gene expression of TGF-β2 in retinas of diabetic rats at different stages, to observe and analyze the effect of TGF-β2 on the retinas of diabetic rats, to explore the role of TGF-β2 in pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and to provide experiment data and experience for further clinic studies.METHODS: Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used and retinas were dissected. The total RNA was isolated from which the first strand of cDNA was prepared. Diabetes mellitus was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of 60mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) and the rats were held without insulin treatment until sacrifice. Besides, agematched rats treated with saline were used as controls. Tail vein blood glucose was measured after 2 days and rats were considered hyperglycemic if blood glucose reading>16.7mmol/L. Animals with blood glucose level<16.7mmol/L were excluded from the study. The rats were killed at the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th and 24th week respectively after hyperglycemic models were established. The retinas were separated and preserved in liquid nitrogen. The expressions of TGF-β2 gene mRNA were detected by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR).RESULTS: The RNA of rat retina was integrative enough to be used to further carry out PCR analysis. Compared with control groups, the expression of TGF-β2 mRNA in retinas of diabetic rats was up-regulated at the 4th week, but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05); it was down-regulated at the 8th week, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05); it was also down-regulated at the 12th week, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05); at the 16th week there was no statistical difference (P>0.05); it was up-regulated at the 20th week, but there was no statistical difference (P>0.05); it continued to be up-regulated at the 24th week, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Since the expression of TGF-β2 mRNA in retinas of diabetic rats was down-regulated at the 8th week and 12th week statistically, up-regulated at the 24th week statistically, it has obviously shown that TGF-β2 was down-and up-regulated through the period of DR. That is, its changes are diphasic with time. It may confirm that TGF-β2, with the characteristic of diphasic regulation, played an important role in DR. It is necessary to study it furthermore.
