In order to obtain the bifunctional chimeric molecule of single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) which can inhibit platelet aggregation, PRGDWR peptide was inserted into the site between Gly 118 and Leu119 (called insertion mutant B, InB). The recombinant gene of InB was expressed by Pichia pastoris. The secreted protein was purified by metal chelate affinity and strong cation exchange chromatography. The amidolytic ability of mutant InB is 5 900 IU/mg, the kinetic constants is: KInB m,plg=56.8 μmol*L-1,kInBcat,plg=0.33 s- 1. The kinetic constants of plasminogen activation reaction is: KInB m,plg=0.397 μmol*L-1,kInBcat,plg=0.0164 s-1. Fibrin inhibit the catalytiv ability of InB during plasminogen activatio n, the influence factor is 0.463(means InB remain 46.3% of the catalytic abili ty when fibrin was involved in the reaction system). The mutant not only has alm ost the same catalytic ability as wild type scu-PA, but also has strong ability of anti-platelet aggregation(compared with scu-PA), IC50 of InB is 12.7 μmol*L-1.

Because the influence of fibrin on the reaction of plasm inogen activation by various plasminogen activators is different, the kinetic co nstant of the reaction of plasminogen activation catalyzed by InB with and witho ut fibrin were detected. The result is: Kfibrinm=4.2 μmol*L -1,greater than the normal Km=0.379 μmol*L-1; kfib rincat=0.107 s-1,greater than the normal kcat=0.0165 s-1. The results suggest that existence of fibrin in the reaction system of plasminogen activation depress the affinity between InB and plasminog en, but accelerates the hydrolysis of plasminogen by InB. The count up effect is inhibition.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pinacidil, an ATP-sensitive K + channel opener in protecting myocardium of immature rabbit heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Fifty-two rabbits of 3-4 weeks old, weighing 350-450g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital sodium(50mg/kg). Hearts were excised and connected to modified Langendorff perfusion system and passively perfused with Krebs-Henseleit buffer(KHB) at 76 cmH 2O. Hearts were made globally ischemic for 30 min by aortic crossclamping and then reperfused for 30min. During ischemia the hearts received 20-25 ml cardioplegic solution of diferent constituents every 15 min. There were four groups with 13 hearts in each group based on the diferent constituents of cardioplegic solution: group Ⅰ(control, no cardioplegic solution); group Ⅱ(KHB+K + 16mmol/l); group Ⅲ(KHB+K +16mmol/L+pinacidil 50?mol/L); group Ⅳ (KHB+K +16mmol/L+glibenclamide 10?mol/L). Left ventricle developed pressure (LVDP), left ventricle diastolic pressure (LVEDP),?dp/dtmax, coronary flow (CF), and the levels of CK, LDH and AST in coronary sirnus veneous effluent and by myocardial ultrastructural changes. Myocardial ultrastructure was examined before and after ischemia.Results Before myocardial ischemia, there were no significant differences in the above mentioned parameters among four groups. Group Ⅲ was the best in terms of postischemic recovery of LVDP, LVEDP,?dp/dtmax and CF. The changes in CK,LDH,AST levels and myocardial ultrastructure were the least in group Ⅲ.Conclusions Pinacidil can afford best myocardial protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury in immature rabbit hearts.

Objective To evaluate the value of echocardiography in investigation the failure of interventional therapy of VSDs and to increase the successful rate. Methods 15 cases with failure of VSD closure through interventional approach were undertaken measurement of major parameters of the defect on left ventriculography and then followed by Philips 5500 color Doppler US for repeated multi-direction tangential measuring of the size, morphologic change, relation with peripheral structure and individual valvular regurgitation. Results (1) Marginal membranous VSD 10 cases; membranance aneurysm 8 cases, ≥2 outlets 6 cases. Width of basal part of membranous aneurysm was 8 ~ 18 (10 ?2) mm with depth of 3 ~ 10 (6 ? 2) mm, distance from aortic valve was 0 ~ 6 (2 ? 1) mm and from tricuspid valve was 2 ~ 5 (2 ?1) mm; associated with slight tricuspid valvular regurgitation. Aortic valvular regurgitation 5 cases showed slight to mild amount and without membranous aneurysm occurred in 2 cases. (2) Intracristal VSD 5 cases showed the size of defect as 6 ~ 10 (7 ? 1) mm, with distances of 2 ~ 3 (1 ? 0.8) mm from pulmonary valve and 1 ~ 2 (1 ? 0.6) mm from aortic valve associated with slight regurgitation in 4 cases, slight tricuspid valvular regurgitation in 5 cases and aortic valvular prolapse in 4 cases. Conclusions Many factors can influence the direction tangential continuous scanning should be taken for accurate localization and measurement of VSD in order to select the very sight occludor providing high successful rate of occlusion and long term efficacy.

To investigate the distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes and subgenotypes among the Bai nationality in Dali, a total of 100 serum samples from patients with chronic HBV-infection were collected for the detection of HBV genotypes and subgenotypes by genotype-specific primers and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RLFP), respectively. Among the 100 samples, the proportions of genotype B, C and mixed genotype (B+C) were 41%, 25% and 34%, respectively. All the genotype B strains belonged to subgenotype Ba. In genotype C, 84% were Subgenotype Cs and 12% were subgenotype Ce. The distribution of genotypes B, C and B+C showed no significant difference between male and female patients (P=0.182) and among the age groups of patients (P=0.812). The rates of HBeAg/HBeAg positivity were no significantly different among genotypes B, genotype C and mixed genotype (B+C) (P=0.077/P=0.663). In Dali, genotypes B, B+C and C existed among Bai nationality with chronic HBV-infection, and genotype B was the major genotype. Subgenotypes Ba and Cs were the predominant strains in patients with HBV genotype B/C infection. The most prominent characteristic was the higher prevalent rate of mixed genotype (B+C) in patients.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of malignancy-related mortality in women worldwide. The more accurate prediction of lymph node metastasis and evaluation of personalized prognosis of breast cancer patients could provide evidence and reference for individualized comprehensive treatment and clinical decision-making. Nomogram is statistical calculation model developed to generate individualized prediction of a certain clinical event through the factors associated with it. Currently breast cancer related nomogram models is most commonly used in the prediction of non-sentinel lymph node status in patients with sentinel lymph node-positive breast cancer, sentinel lymph node metastasis in clinical node-negative breast cancer and prognosis evaluation of breast cancer. This article reviewed the recent advances in breast cancer related nomograms according to the above mentioned three aspects, and evaluated respectively the predictive factors, accuracy, characteristics and clinical application potential.

Objective:To study the clinicopathologic characteristics and the prognostic factors of triple negative breast cancer,and to study the correlation between clinicopathologic features and EGFR expression.Methods:Clinical characteristics and prognosis of 200 breast cancer patients diagnosed between 1997 and 2004 were reviewed.The paraffin embedded tissues were selected and tissue microarray blocks were made.Immunohistochemical staining was used to evaluate the expression of ER,PR and HER2 for breast cancer molecular type.EGFR expression was evaluated to analyze its correlation with the clinical characteristics and prognosis.Results:Fourty-two cases(21%)of 200 were triple negative breast cancer(TNBC).There was no significant difference between TNBC and non-TNBC in clinicopathologic parameters such as age,tumor size,clinical stage,and lymph node status.However,there was significant difference in histological category and menostasis status between the two groups(P<0.05).Among TNBC,17 0f 42 died during the follow-up(the overall suivival rate was 59.52%),while 26 0f 158 non-TNBC died(the overall survival rate was 83.54%).EGFR was significantly overexpressed in TNBC(69.05%)and it was associated with lymph node status and histological category.Conclusion:Although the incidence of TNBC is low,it has a poorer prognosis than other subtypes.EGFR is highly expressed in TNBC and may serve as a prognostic index and an important therapatic target for breast cancer.
