Objective To investigate early changes of angiopoietin-2(Ang-2)in multiple trauma patients and assess its clinical significance.Methods Forty-five multiple trauma patients aged 2060 years admitted to the hospital within one hour after injury were randomly divided into three groups according to injury severity score(ISS).Blood specimens were obtained immediately upon arrival in the emergency department and plasma samples were assayed for comparing changes of Ang-2,TNF-a and IL-6.Meanwhile,plasma level of Ang-2 was measured and analyzed under different oxygenation index,shock index and base deficit.Results Plasma level of Ang-2 was positively correlated with ISS(P < 0.01)and was concordant with the plasma levels of TNF-a and IL-6(P<0.01).Furthermore,plasma level of Ang-2 was elevated upon increase of shock index or decrease of oxygenation index(P < 0.01).Plasma level of Ang-2 was elevated with the increase of base deficit(P < 0.01).Conclusions High level of Ang-2 is a marker of endothelial activation and dysfunction early after trauma.Ang-2 is related tightly with the injury severity,inflammation factors,systemic oxygenation and tissue hypoperfusion and may have a tight relation with pathophysiological development and clinical outcome after trauma.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and therapeutic strategies of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV)genotype 6 in Guangxi area.Methods Serum samples were collected from 150 patients with serologic HCV RNA positive in Guangxi, China. Reverse transcription nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)was employed to amplify HCV NS5B fragments and the DNA products were sequenced.The sequences obtained were compared with the sequences deposited in GenBank to construct a phylogenetic tree.Among the patients who accomplished 48-week treatment of interferon plus ribavirin and 24-week follow-up after stopping medication,10 cases were infected with genotype 6a and 28 cases with genotype 1 HCV.The virological responses were evaluated at week 4,week 12,week 24 of treatment and week 24 after the end of the treatment.Results Among all recruited 150 cases,21 (14.0%)cases were HCV genotype 6 including two subtypes 6a (n = 20 )and 6d (n = 1 ). Genotype 6 HCV mainly affected intravenous drug users, especially with age of ≤ 40 years old. Phylogenetic tree showed that there was very close evolutionary distance between HCV 6 strains of Guangxi and Hongkong,China strains (Y12083,DQ 480515)and Vietnam strain (EU246930).All of 10 HCV genotype 6a patients who completed 48 weeks of antiviral therapy achieved sustained virological response (SVR).The rate of SVR was higher than that of genotype 1 patients,but without statistically different significance (10/10 vs 75 .0%,P >0.05).Conclusion HCV genotype 6 in Guangxi area mainly affects young intravenous drug users with age of ≤ 40 years old,which has high homology with Hongkong,China and Vietnam standard strains.Patients with HCV 6 genotype infection treated with interferon plus ribavirin for 48 weeks usually achieve favorable SVR.

AIM To construct differentiation subtractive cDNA library of human leukemia HL 60 cells induced by diallyl disfuld using suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique and to clone differentiation associated genes in leukemia cells. METHODS Poly A + RNAs were isolated from HL 60 cells induced by dially disfuld and were reversely transcripted into double strand cDNAs (as tester). After the cDNAs were digested into short cDNAs with blunt ends, they were divided into two groups and were ligated to the special adaptor 1 and adaptor 2R, respectively. The tester cDNAs were then hybridized with driver cDNA from normal HL 60 cells and the products were amplified twice by nested PCR technique. The PCR products were ligated with pGEM T plasmid vectors and were transformed into E.coli JM109. The inserts of cDNAs were analyzed by restrictive enzyme EcoR I. RESULTS Subtractive cDNA library was constructed successfully and efficiently. Random analysis of 200 clones with enzyme restriction showed that about 84 5% clones contained 100~600 bp cDNA inserts. It can help clone novel genes associated with differentiation and explore the molecular mechanism of leukemia differentiation induced by diallyl disfuld. CONCLUSION DADS can induce human leukemia HL 60 cells differentiation, and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) technique is an effective method to isolate those differentially expressed genes.
