Aptazymes are a new artificial synzyme, selected from the random oligonucleotide sequence libraries against various of effector molecules. They own the advantages of an aptamer(the receptor site) and the ribozyme (the catalytic active site). Moreover, aptazymes as catalytic molecular beacon provide a new orientation for the quantitative analysis of effector molecules. Aptazymes not only have the application in genomics and proteomics, but also have potential applications in biosensor and DNA AND gate.

Objective To investigate the effect of ketamine injected via the radicular arteries on spinal cord. Methods Twenty healthy mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 12-18 kg were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 10 each): control group (group C) and ketamine group (group K). The animals were anesthetized with intravenous pentobarbital 30-35 mg/kg, fentanyl 50-100 μg and vecuronium 0.2 mg/kg and maintained with propofol ically ventilated after tracheal intubation. A catheter was inserted into T8 poster intercostal artery and advanced toward the opening of radicular artery which supplies the spinal cord. Ketamine 100 mg (in 2 ml of normal saline)was injected via the catheter in group K. Three hours after ketamine administration, the animals were sacrificed. A 1.5 cm long segment of spinal cord at the level of T8 was removed for microscopic examination and determination of the expression of NSE, S100β and Tau protein by immuno-histochemistry. Results There was no significant difference in the number of Nissl' s staining-negative neuronal cells and the expression of NSE, S100β and Tau protein in the spinal cord between the 2 groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion Ketamine injected via the radicular arteries does not induce spinal cord injury.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for drug management in clinical trial process in hospital. METHODS:To summarize the common problems of current drug control in clinical trial process and analyze their harmfulness. Some countermeasures were put forward to resolve those problems. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:At present uniform management mode hasn’t been established for drug control in clinical trial institutions. Realizations on the importance of drug control are different from one another. There are several factors which affect clinical trials even result in undesirable consequence. The institution should formulate scientific,effective and practical management standards and operation process to improve the quality of drug control and ensure safety, scientificity and reliability of clinical trials.

?DJ-1 has been reported to act as aredox-activated chaperone and sensor of oxidative stress participated in a variety of activities in cellular, playing an important role in resisting oxidative stress, regulating signaling pathways and gene transcription, and maintaining mitochondria dynamic balance. DJ -1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases. Recently, the effect of DJ-1 in eye diseases has drawn more attention, and researchers have found its significant role of resistance to oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy ( FECD) and age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) .This review will state the mechanism of DJ-1 against oxidative stress and its role in the development of eye diseases.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and propofol-induced inhibition of endotoxin-induced release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) from alveolar macrophages (AMs) of rats.Methods AMs extracted from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured and inoculated in 6-well plates (1 × 106 cells/well)and in 96-well plates (1×104 cells/well).The cells were divided into 5 groups (n=18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),dimethyl sulfoxide group (group D),lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (group L),propofol group (group P) and LPS plus propofol group (group L+P).The cells were continuously cultured with phosphate buffer solution in group C.Dimethyl sulfoxide was added at the final concentration of 5 mg/ml in group D.LPS was added at the final concentration of 1 μg/ml in group L.Propofol was added at the final concentration of 25 μmol/L (4.46 μg/ml) in group P.LPS and propofol were added at the final concentration of 1 μg/ml and 25 μmol/L (4.46 μg/ml),respectively,in group L+P.At 24 h of culture or incubation,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,the morphological changes of cells were observed using Wright's staining,the concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and TLR4 expression and NF-κB activities were measured by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant were significantly increased,the expression of TLR4 was up-regulated,and the activity of NF-κB was enhanced in L and L+P groups (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in D and P groups (P＞0.05).Compared with group L,the cell viability and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant were significantly decreased,the expression of TLR4 was down-regulated,and the activity of NF-κB was weakened (P＜0.05),the morphological changes of cells were significantly attenuated,and the number of pseudopodia was reduced in group L+P.Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol inhibits endotoxin-induced release of TNF-α from AMs is related to inhibited activation of TLR4/NF-λB signaling pathway in rats.

To prepare HIV-1 Vif and hAPOBEC3G and to produce their antibodies, the full length gene fragment of HIV-1 Vif was amplified by PCR from a plasmid of HIV-1 NL4.3 cDNA, and the APOBEC3G gene was obtained by RT-PCR from the total RNA of H9 cells. The resulting DNA construct was cloned into a prokaryotic expression vector (pET-32a). Recombinant pET-vif and pET-APOBEC3G were expressed respectively in Eserichia coli BL21 (DE3) as an insoluble protein. The vector also contained a six-histidine tag at the C-terminus for convenient purification and detection. To express and purify the HIV-1 Vif and hAPOBEC3G in E. coli cells, the accuracy of inserted gene and specificity of proteins were detected by the two enzyme digestion method, SDS-PAGE, and Western blotting. Rabbits were then immunized by Vif or APOBEC3G protein and serum samples were tested by indirect ELISA to determine the level of antibodies. Immunoenzyme and immunofluorescence assays were performed to identify the specificity of polyclonal antibodies. The titer of the anti-Vif antibodies was 1:204800, and that of the anti-APOBEC3G antibodies was 1:102400. Thus the antibodies could detect the antigen expression in the cells, demonstrating that fusion proteins with high purity and their corresponding polyclonal antibodies with high titer and specificity were achieved.

Aim To develop a rapid and inexpensive method for purification of human albumin, a method of immunomagnetic microspheres (IMMS) based on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)for the purification of human albumin from human serum. Methods Polystyrene magnetic microspheres with carboxyl groups as carriers were prepared, and then the carboxyl groups on the surface of the microspheres were activated by ethylcarbodiimide (EDC). Finally rabbit anti-human serum albumin (HSA) antibodies were covalently bound to it and the complex can specifically capture HSA. After the procedure of capturing HSA, through taking rabbit anti-human albumin protein antibodies as a capture antibody, and goat anti-human albumin protein antibodies as a detection antibody, an ELISA on IMMS was developed, which can determine the recovery yield of HSA from the human serum. Results The result of the experiment was that the recovery of human albumin with IMMS was (86 ± 4) % , and IMMS were reused for two other purifying cycles, the results of which were (69.0 ± 0.6) % and (40.8 ± 0.8) % , and the purity of the product was about 90%. Conclusion The results above prove that the immunomagnetic purifiying strategy was shown to be efficient and offers an new thought for a large scale production of highpurity HSA.
