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.

0.05).The smoking group had a higher TG level and a lower HDL-C level than the control one with statistical significance(P0.05).The HL activities in serum,lung and liver of smoking group were lower than those of control group(P

With the economic development, more and more people concerned about health. Institution and people engaged in physical examination is springing up. Facing increasingly less obvious advantages of product homogeneity, and the growing market which must cater to different customers, as a large general hospital medical center, we should make good management of customer relationship, improve customers' satisfaction, increase their loyalty, provide the most effective health protection for the physical examination so as to improve market competitiveness and bring social and economic benefits to the hospitals, thus achieving a win-win objective.

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.

The popularization of reading ancient books on traditional Chinese medicine has been in abasinstate due to their contents , their readers and the reading competence of their readers .The role of media guidance in popu-larization of reading ancient books on traditional Chinese medicine was thus elaborated with the exhibition of ancient books on traditional Chinese medicine in Library of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an exam-ple, which may provide certain reference for changing the ideas of libraries and popularizing the reading of charac-teristic documents .

ObjectiveTo establish a analytical system for the survival motor neuron (SMN) subtle mutation,and evaluate its application in two families with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA).MethodsSMN genes in seven family members from two SMA families were analyzed at both transcript level and genomic level,by the use of the conventional PCR-RFLP,allele-specific PCR,multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) and T subcloning and sequencing of SMNI gene.ResultsIn family A,the patient had a single SMN1 copy who was carrying nonsense mutation L228X,which was also found in his father.In family B,as the patient's sample was unavailable,the father was indeed a carrier with one normal SMN1 allele and the other SMN1 allele carrying a frameshift mutation 22_23insA.The remaining family members were SMA carriers with one SMN1 copy.ConclusionThis analytical system for SMN subtle mutation offers viable molecular basis for genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis in SMA families.

Aim To study the effect of different doses of l-Tetrahydropalmatine( l-THP) on morphine-induced conditioned place preference(CPP) and observe whether l-THP itself induces CPP.Methods ①♂SD rats were administered with morphine (5.00 mg?kg -1 ,sc) or saline and trained for 8 days;on d 9,the rats were tested CPP with no treatment or 40 min after they were given different doses of l-THP(1.25～5.00 mg?kg -1,ip) to observe the effect of l-THP on morphine-induced CPP;② With daily injection of l-THP (ip) at different doses,effect on the extinguishment of morphine-induced CPP was tested weekly; ③ Normal saline (NS) or l-THP (1.25～5.00 mg?kg -1 , ip) was used as a training drug to test whether l-THP could induce CPP in the rats. Results 5.00 mg?kg -1 morphine (sc) induced CPP; l-THP of 2.50 mg?kg -1 and 5.00 mg?kg -1 administered prior to the testing reduced the expression of morphine-induced CPP significantly (P

Objective To investigate the roles of integrin-linked kinase (ILK) protein and mRNA in the development of human bladder transitional cell carcinoma (BTCC). Methods The expressions of ILK protein and ILK mRNA in specimens from 56 cases of human BTCC and from 30 cases of adjacent normal bladder were detected by immunohistochemistry S-P method and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. The correlation of the expressions of ILK protein and mRNA to the clinicopathological parameters of human BTCC was analyzed statistically. Results The positive rates of ILK protein and mRNA in malignant specimens were 53.6% (30/56) and 58.9% (33/56), respectively, while those in the adjacent normal bladder tissue were 10% (3/30) and 13.3% (4/30), respectively. Significant difference was found in the expressions of ILK protein and mRNA between BTCC and adjacent normal bladder specimens (P0.05). Conclusion ILK gene transcription and protein expression may be involved in the developmental process of BTCC. ILK might be a new marker for early diagnosis of BTCC and a new target gene for BTCC treatment.
