Chinese Journal of Immunology 2010;26(1):61-65
Objective: To isolate Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37Ra genes especially,and to construct two cDNA libraries by using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH).Methods: We used suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) to clone the differential genomic genes between Mycobacterium tuberculosis virulence strain H37Rv and attenuated strain H37Ra.After two times of subtractive hybridization and two times of PCR,the products of last PCR amplification were inserted into pGEM-T Easy vector and be transformed into the E.coli DH5α and screened of blue and white clones of the transformants.The subtracted cDNA library of differentially expressed genes were identified by RT-PCR.Results:High or especially expressed genes as tester had been obtained by SSH in correctitude reaction (H37Rv as tester) and reverse reaction (H37Ra as tester),the cDNA libraries of A and B of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37Ra were successfully constructed.90% of the colonies were white clones,the single band of the colonies was 75% and 80%.Conchision:The cDNA libraries of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and H37Ra were successfully constructed using SSH technique,which lay a solid foundation for screening and cloning new specific differentially expressed genes in them.

Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2012;35(19):17-20
Objective To detect the level of visfatin in the peripheral blood ofpafients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (coronary heart disease),and investigate the conelation between the level of visfatin and the lesion degree of coronary heart disease.Methods Two hundred and twenty patients who were diagnosed as coronary heart disease by coronary artery angiography from January to June 2011 (coronary heart disease group) were enrolled in this study,including 74 cases with stable angina pectoris(stable angina pectoris group),60 cases with unstable angina pectoris (unstable angina pectoris group),and 86 cases with acute myocardial infarction (myocardial infarction group).And 20 healthy persons with normal coronary artery angiography were selected as control group.The biochemical parameters of triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected by biochemistry autoanalyzer.The level of serum visfatin was detected by ELISA analysis.The serum biochemical parameters and serum visfatin among all the groups were compared and the correlation between them was analyzed.ResuIts The level of serum visfatin of coronary heart disease group [(34.07 ±5.51) μg/L] was significantly higher than that of control group [(13.22 ±3.17) μg/L](P<0.05).TC and LDL-C of different coronary heart disease groups had no significant differences compared with that of control group (P > 0.05).TG,H DL-C and serum visfatin of stable angina pectoris group,unstable angina pectoris group and myocardial infarction group [(1.44 ±0.27) mmol/L,(1.16 ±0.12) mmol/L,(21.36 ± 3.35) μg/L; ( 1.84 ±0.32) mmol/L,(1.01 ± 0.08) mmol/L,(27.78 ±4.47) μg/L; (2.31 ±0.34)mmol/L,(0.93 ± 0.06) mmol/L,(33.14 ± 5.66) μ g/L] had statistical significance compared with those of control group [(0.93 ±0.25) mmol/L,(1.48 ± 0.24) mmol/L,(13.22 ±3.17) μg/L](P<0.05 or <0.01).TG,C,ensini score and serum visfatin of unstable angina pectoris group were significantly higher than those of stable angina pectoris group and HDL-C was obviously lower than that of stable angina pectoris group (P <0.05).Gensini score and serum visfatin of myocardial infarction group were significantly higher than those of unstable angina pectoris group and HDL-C was obviously lower than that of unstable angina pectoris group (P < 0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the level of serum visfatin of coronary heart disease group was positively correlated with TG and Gensini score (P <0.05 or <0.01 ) and negatively correlatedwith HDL-C (P < 0.01 ),and had no correlation with TC and LDL-C (P > 0.05).Conclusions The highlevel expression of visfatin in the peripheral blood may be a risk factor of coronary heart disease.The changes of serum visfatin can reflect the lesion severity degree of coronary artery.
3.Hyperlactatemia and metabolic acidosis in critically ill patient
Chinese Journal of Clinical Nutrition 2011;19(3):183-187
The relationship between hyperlactatemia and metabolic acidosis, which may involve shock resuscitation,homoiostasis, and nutritional support, remains a hot topic. On one hand, increased production of lac-tate due to anaerobic glycolysis during tissue hypoperfusion can aggravate metabolic acidosis; on the other hand,the utilization of lactate at organ and cell levels may lower blood lactate level, and thus alleviate metabolic acidosis.The ultimate blood lactate level depends on the balance of these two action mechanisms.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of the addition of glutamine to WMO solution on the small bowel preservation. Methods:According to preservation solutions, the rats were divided randomly into three groups: University of Wisconsin solution(UW group), WMO solution (WMO group) and WMO solution with the addition of glutamine(WMO G group). And each group was redivided into two subgroups in terms of preservation time of 8 h or 12 h. The intestine was perfused by intubation via abdomial aorta, then the gut was flushed with metronidazole solution(4℃,5%). The proliferation of small intestine was observed through tissue culture. The histology, immunohistochemistry (TUNEL, PCNA) of intestinal mucosa and determination of ATP were used to evaluate the results. Results: Compared with UW group and WMO group, ATP contents of WMO G group were significantly higher, particularly in 12 h subgroup. Apoptosis in WMO G group was slighter than those in UW group and in WMO group. The difference in the two latter was not obviously, although pathological change in UW group was slighter than that in WMO group. The number of positive PCNA cells in WMO G group was more than that in other groups. Conclusions: The addition of glutamine to WMO solution could decrease injury of small bowel induced by cold ischemia, provide energy for the small bowel,and promote the proliferation of small bowel mocosal cell.

Chinese Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma 2002;0(04):-
Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and kyphoplasty (PKP) are perf or med by image-guided spinal procedures and consists in percutaneously transpedic ular injection of the polymer polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) into a fractured ver tebral body to relieve the pain and to strengthen the bone. Advantages of the te chnology include its relative simplicity, fewer complications and minimally inva sive surgery. PKP can also restore vertebral height. This paper is to sum up the results of biomechanical comparison of different cements, different volumes and different distribution in the vertebras. This article also indicates the disadv antages of PVP and PKP at present. To achieve the goal in the future, the operat ions and ideal biomaterials should be improved and developed.
