The rodipicolinate synthase gene was cloned from Nicotiana tabacum L.cv,which encodes the key enzyme in the synthesis of lysine,and then a vitro molecular reform reliefing feedback suppression was made. Some resistant seedlings were acquired using the mutated gene as selectable marker and analog of lysine as selectable reagent,and the detection results were positive by means of PCR and Real-Time PCR,however the phenotype is somewhat abnormal.

Objective To observe the transformation features of children with complete atrioventricular block(CAVB), and to improve the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.Methods Seventeen children with primary diagnosis of CAVB were reviewed by retrospective and follow-up study and the clinical characteristics, treatment schemes and prognosis were evaluated.Results Four cases of congenital CAVB lived normally without obvious symptoms in the tracing period from 6 months to 9 years;1 case had the onset of Adams-Stokes syndrome induced by diarrhea;3 cases of the CAVB caused by virus myocarditis turned into sinus rhythm after comprehensive therapy;2 cases persistently presented with the CAVB Complicated with enlarged heart;1 case gave up treatment after deterioration, and one case died.Three cases of temporary CAVB after the open heart operation turned to sinus rhythm in transitory time, while other two cases presented with permanent CAVB and treated with epicardium pacemaker,among whom one had the pacemaker replaced for one time in the 8-year follow-up,and the follow-up of other cases were intermitted.Conclusions The congenital CAVB in the study group with normal QRS interphase and no obvious symptom might not require treatment but follow-up is needed. While infants with heart malformation and wide QRS wave could not endure the low ventricular rhythm are in high risk. Virus myocarditis induced CAVB children tend to present the Adams-Stokes syndrome, and require effective treatments. Partial cases of the CAVB caused by open heart operation may turn to normal sinus rhythm in 2-4 weeks after surgery. cases has persistent CAVB for over 4 weeks, or Adams-Stokes syndrome onset after the surgery demand epicardium pacemaker treatment.

Excess energy has become a main reason for increasingly serious human health hazards. Excess energy, mainly ectopically deposits in the liver, pancreas and other organs in the form of triglycerides, and produces chronic oxidative, nitrosative stress (ONS) , and fat toxicity, resulting in insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion, and further impaired glucose regulation (Pidan). By combining Chinese medical pathogeneses and symptoms analyses, authors found this process has features of Gan disease transferring to Pi. Based on a number of related guidelines and clinical practice, we demonstrated treating sputum and stasis by the same method was one treatment method for intervening liver disease transferring to spleen in metabolic diseases. This idea helps to organic integrating prevention and treatment of major metabolic diseases including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which can improve clinical effectiveness and efficiency of Chinese medicine.

Objective To explore the mechanisms of individual, social and environmental factors influencing physical activity and the relationships among the factors in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods A survey was conducted from January to July 2015 among 225 patients with type 2 diabetes using convenience sampling. The questionnaire included 9- item Patient Health Questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire,Perceived Social Support Scale, Chinese Walkable Environment Scale, Bandura′s Exercise Self- efficacy Scale. Results The effective questionnaire recovery rate was 98.7%(222/225). Exercise self- efficacy was a mediator of factors influencing physical activity. Exercise self- efficacy and physical activity were positively correlated (β=0.24, P<0.05). Walkable environment only affected physical activity indirectly medicated by exercise self- efficacy (β=-0.26, P<0.05). Perceived social support directly associated with physical activity (β=0.14, P<0.05). Depression not only affected physical activity directly (β=-0.28, P<0.05), but also associated with physical activity indirectly medicated by exercise self-efficacy (β=-0.32, P<0.05). Conclusions Interventions should be taken to increase the perceived social support, improve depression and walkable environment, especially to enhance exercise self- efficacy, so as to improve the physical activity level of patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective To analyze the status and influencing factors of physical activity in patients with diabetes.Methods A survey was conducted in patients with diabetes from one hospital in Tianjin city using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Exercise Self-efficacy Scale, 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire,Perceived Social Support Scale, Chinese Walkable Environment Scale, Visual Analogue Scale.The cumulative logits model was used to explore the influencing factors of physical activity in diabetic patients.Results The average of sitting time for diabetic patients was 6.1 hours per day.41.2% of patients with diabetes were at high level of physical activity ,42.7% were at moderate level of physical activity, and 16.1% were at low level of physical activity.The cumulative logits model showed that perceived social support (β=0.029, OR=1.03, P=0.039,95% CI=0.001-0.057) ,exercise self-efficacy (β=0.014, OR=1.01, P=0.001,95% CI=0.005-0.023),and beautiful neighborhood surroundings(β=-0.366, OR=0.69, P=0.008,95% CI=-0.635--0.096) were protective factors of physical activity, and depression(β=-0.093, OR=0.91, P=0.020,95% CI=-0.172--0.015) was a risk factor of physical activity.Conclusion The physical activity status of diabetic patients are not ideal.Measures should be taken to improve the exercise self-efficacy, perceived social support and environment of surroundings, to reduce the symptoms of depression, so as to promote regular physical activities in patients with diabetes mellitus.

AIM To prepare the andrographolide-loaded solid dispersions.METHODS Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) were used for the analysis of solid dispersions previously prepared from the mixture of andrographolide and PVPK30 (1 ∶ 9) in autoclave.In addition to the evaluation index of in vitro dissolution rate,the influencing factors of pressure,temperature and reaction time were taken into consideration for the preparation optimization by Box-Behnken method.RESULTS Andrographolide was totally dispersed in solid dispersions in an amorphous state,manifesting an inhibited crystal diffraction peaks' formulation.Under the optimal conditions of 21.26 MPa for pressure,40.76 ℃ for temperature,and 1.13 h for reaction time,the in vitro dissolution rate was 85.49%.CONCLUSION After andrographolide is made into solid dispersions,its in vitro dissolution rate is obviously increased.

Objective To study the possible relationships between expression of matrix metalloproteinase(MMP)2,9 and the pathogenesis of preeclampsia in which trophoblast invasion is impaired. Methods MMP-2,9 expression were detected by immunohistochemistry streptavidin-biotin complex (SABC)method in 20 normal term placentae and 20 preeclampsia placentae,respectively.In addition, mRNAs for MMP-2,9 were analyzed by real time PCR in both groups.Results The intensities of both MMP-2 and MMP-9 immunostaining in preeclampsia placentae were significantly declined compared to those of normal term placentae(P

Objective To test the hypothesis that homocysteine can decrease MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in cultured trophoblasts of early pregnancy and that homocysteine can prevent trophoblasts invasion in the early stage of preeclampsia.Methods Cytotrophoblasts from early pregnancy were isolated and cultured.Trophoblasts were treated with or without Hcy(1 mmol/L)for 48 hour,and real time RT-PCR and gelatin zymography were used to quantify the mRNA and protease activity of MMP-2,-9.Results Treatment with Hcy(1 mmol/L)induced a decrease in MMP-2 mRNA by 21% and MMP-9 mRNA by 11%.At protein level MMP-2 expression decreased 14% and MMP-9 expression decreased 52% compared with control.Conclusions Homocysteine can decrease MMP-2,-9 expression in trophoblasts of early pregnancy and influence its invasion process.
