Objective To sequence and analyze the complete genome of two human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63) strains collected from Beijing Children Hospital .Methods Eighteen pairs of primers were designed according to the gene sequences of HCoV-NL63 reference strain ( HCoV-NL63_Amsterdam 1) and used to amplify the target fragments covering the complete genome of HCoV-NL63 strains.Rapid ampli-fication of cDNA ends ( RACE) and RT-PCR assays were used to amplify the full length genome of HCoV-NL63 strains.Phylogenetic analysis was conducted by using Mega 5.0 software.Results The complete ge-nome sequences of the two HCoV-NL63 strains were 27 538 bp in length, showing a homology of 99.1%in nucleotide sequences .There were 15 consecutive bases deleted from 1a region.The systematic phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that four genotypes of NL 63 virus including A , B, C and D have been identified , and two domestic strains were belonged to the new genotype D .Conclusion The complete genome sequences of two domestic HCoV-NL63 isolates were identified for the first time .This study provided evidence for further investigation on molecular epidemiology of HCoV-NL63 in China .

Objective To study whether bortezomib combined with dexamethasone can relieve bone pain of patients with multiple myeloma and to see whether bortezomib have effect on bone metabolism through determining the concentration of bone turnover marks.Methods 59 cases of patients with multiple myeloma treated with BD and 38 cases of patients treated with VADM were observed before and after chemotherapy to compare the alleviation of bone pain,the improvement of the ability to move and the occurrence of skeletal related events between the two groups.The plasma from 25 patients were collected before and after chemotherapy when they were in hospital each time and the concentrations of TRACP-5b,BALP and DKK1 in plasma were determined by ELISA.Results BD group was better than VADM group in the rate of alleviation of bone pain,the improvement of the ability to move and the incidence of skeletal related events(75.7% vs 50%,64.9% vs 20.8% and 13.8% vs 57.8%,all P

Objective:To purify and characterize the major antigenic components of sand swimming crab,and provide theoretical evidences for the research of standardization of allergenic vaccine.Methods:The crude extract of Linnaeus was prepared using classical method, and electrophoresis of SDS-PAGE was used to separate the proteins of each group. The allergen proteins of 26 crab were identified using Western blot. To distinguish between the primary allergen proteins and secondary allergen proteins, FPLC(Gel Chromatography and ion exchange chromatography) was used to filtrate and identify the allergen protein.Results:SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that sand swimming crab proteins were composed of at lease 9 discrete protein bands, which molecular weight ranging from 13 000 to 90 000. Major bands were of 20 900, 24 200, 27 100, 29 200, 33 700, 38 900, 48 700, 74 700, 89 100 respectively. Western blot assay indicated that the crude extract reacted with sera obtained from 26 crab allergenic subjects and contained 5 allergen bands altogether, and the bands of 74 400 and 48 700 were the major allergenic components. The positive rates of the two major allergen proteins were both 100%, indicating the allergenic components maintained the immunocompetence after yielding from chromatography.Conclusion:The 74 400 and 48 700 bands are the major allergens of sand swimming crab. The major allergen proteins can be purified by chromatography.

Objective To explore the value of carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) and cancer antigen 153 ( CA153 ) in detecting tumor recurrences and to establish the optimal operating point of diagnosis of recurrences in HER-2 overexpressing breast cancer using ROC curves .Methods A total of 127 HER -2 overexpressing breast cancer patients was enrolled into this study and subdivided into two groups ,the recurrence group and the non-recurrence group .We created a ROC curve and found out the optimal operating point .Then we compared the advantage of detecting recurrences between optimal operating point in the ROC curve and the diagnostic point that we usually used .Results The recurrence groups showed significantly higher CEA and CA 153 levels than the non-recurrence groups(P<0.0001).The area under the curve(AUC)of the CEA and CA153 were 0.752 and 0.820 respectively and the optimal operating point were 3.5 ng/mL and 17.89 U/mL,respectively.The sensitivi-ties of the optimal operating point of CEA and CA 153 were 46.15%and 65.38%respectively,and the specifici-ties were 97.33%and 89.33%, respectively.Conclusion CEA and CA153 process medium value for detecting recurrences in HER-2 overexpressing breast cancer .

AIM: To observe if there is a synergistical effect on induction of apoptosis when arsenic trioxide alone or combination with bortezomib in KM3 cells. METHODS: KM3 cells were treated with arsenic trioxide alone or combined with bortezomib, the numbers of viable cells were determined by trypan blue exclusion. Cell growth inhibition was examined by MTT method. The cells were simultaneously stained with annexin V-FITC and PI and apoptosis was determined by bivariate flow cytometry using a FACScan. Reverse trascriptional-PCR (RT-PCR) method was used to examine the change of p65 mRNA and Western blotting to measure the expression of protein p65, p-p65, caspase-3, -8, -9, and poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP). RESULTS: Arsenic trioxide inhibited the cell growth and induced apoptosis. The mechanism was responsible for the activation of caspase-mediated induction of apoptosis. A synergistic effect of combination with bortezomib on apoptosis was observed. CONCLUSION: Arsenic trioxide inhibits KM3 cell growth and induces apoptosis with a synergistical effect when cotreated with bortezomib.

OBJECTIVE:To extract the feature of Achyranthes bidentata and Cyathula officinalis,and to establish image recog-nition method. METHODS:The microscopic image stitching of A. bidentata and C. officinalis was implemented by MATLAB. The color,invariant moment,stripes and the features of vascular bundle in cross section were extracted. The data was organized into da-ta matrix,and then data matrix was standardized by Zscore function;principal components were analyzed through Princomp func-tion. BP nerve network recognition mode was adopted. RESULTS:The microstructures in the micro images of the samples were kept integrated. The measured data of 27 characteristics were acquired in each group of sample. Through principal component analy-sis,the parameters of 11 main components were selected to establish BP never network. The average recognition rate of BP nerve network was 100% between 2 medicinal material relatives (n=50). CONCLUSIONS:The method can be used for micro-image auto Stitching of Chinese medicinal materials and image recognition of A. bidentata and C. officinalis.
