Objective To explore the reason of negative HBeAg result detected by ELISA in the specimen with both positive HBV DNA and positive PreS1 in order to provide objective analysis of HBV replication.Methods Senty-six sera with negative HBeAg,but positive PreS1 and HBVDNA were included in this study.(1) HBeAg was detected again by ELISA after the specimen was diluted at a ratio of 1:100.(2) HBeAg/IC was detected by solid ELISA using monoclonal antibody against HBeAg.(3) The gene mutation of Pre C region was detected by oligonucleotide hybridization.Results HBeAg was positive in 5 specimen which were detected in dilution of 1:100 and HBeAg/IC was detectable in 38 specimen.The gene mutation of Pre C region was found in 24 specimen.Conclusion Hook effect of post-zone,formation of HBeAg/IC and gene mutation of Pre C region were the main reasons of negative HBeAg result by ELISA in the specimen with positive HBV DNA.The specimen with positive HBV DNA and negative HBeAg were presented in the patients who were mostly infected by wild type of HBV.Formation of HBeAg/IC result in the undetectable HBeAg in serum by routine ELISA.

Methods Isolation and purification were carried out by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and active carbon column chromatography etc. Constituents were identified and structurally elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. Results Eight compounds were obtained, six of them were determined as catalpol (Ⅰ), catalposide (Ⅱ), ursolic acid (Ⅲ), ?-daucosterol (Ⅳ), nonacosane (Ⅴ), ?-sitosterol (Ⅵ). (Conclusion)(All (~1H-NMR) and (~(13)C-NMR) chemical shifts of the compound) Ⅱ are assigned by UV, IR, ESI-MS, HREI-MS, (~1H-NMR), (~(13)C-NMR), HMQC, and HMBC techniques. Compounds Ⅲ and Ⅴ are isolated from the plant for the first time.

Objective To study the chemical constituents in fruits of Catalpa ovata.Methods Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the constituents.Structures of the compounds were elucidated by physicochemical properties and spectral analysis (UV, IR, ESI-MS, 1H-NMR , 13 C-NMR , 1H- 1H COSY , HMQC, HMBC, NOESY, and CD).Results A compound was isolated and identified as 2(S)-(3′-hydroxy-5′-methoxy)-benz-3(S)-ethoxycarbonyl-6-trans-ethyl acrylate-8-methoxy-benzofuran.Conclusion This compound is a novel compound named as catalpafurxin.

Objective: To evaluate the properties of PLA-PEG as a biodegradable scaffold material combined with rhBMP-2 for bone construction.Methods:PLA-PEG/rhBMP-2 multipore compound was prepared,then compression intensity and compression module were tested.The mandibular defect model was made in 20 rabbits,then PLA-PEG/rhBMP-2 was implanted into the defects on one side,and PLA-PEG without rhBMP-2 was implanted into the defect on another side as the control.The bone specimens were retrieved to make density analysis with X-ray photogram following sacrifice of the rabbits 2,4,8 and 16 weeks respectively after operation,then the specimens were decalcified to make histopathological observation by means of HE stain.Results:Compression intensity(MPa) of the PLA-PEG/(rhBMP)-2 compound was 30.05?3.12,and compression module(MPa) was 371.67?12.37.At 2,4,8 and 16 weeks,more new bone was observed,and higher intensity(P

Urothelial carcinoma associated 1 (UCA1) is a kind of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA),which has no capacities for coding proteins.UCA1 over-expresses in diverse tumors,and plays a pivotal role in initiation and progression of tumors.Researches indicate that UCA1 may function as an oncogene in gastrointestinal tumors,such as gastric cancer,colorectal cancer and hepatocellular cancer,and participate in regulating cell proliferation,metastasis and chemo-resistance.

Rhetsinine has been isolated from the fruits of Evodia rutaecarpa ( Juss. ) Benth. ~1H NMR and ~(13)C NMR assignments reported previously for rhetsinine were revised on the basis of UV, IR, ESI-MS,~1H NMR, ~(13)C NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Objective:To study the expression levels of nuclear factor kappa B, Bcl-2 associated K and TNF-αproteins to discuss the effects of NF-κB and Bak proteins in the pathogenesis of UC.Methods:Eighty clean grade of adult Sprague-Dawley( SD) rats were used,male and female in half and then rando mly selected sixty as the model group,another twenty as the control group.SD rats model were manufactured by a compound method:Trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid ( TNBS )+ethanol.We observed and assessed colonic mucosa by the general morphology and histological changes.To applicated immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR methods to detected the protein and mRNA expression levels of NF-κB,Bak and TNF-αin the model groups and the control group and to analysed their relationships.Results:The successful rate of making model was 97%.The number of inflammatory cells in the model groups more than the control(P<0.01).Group immunohistochemical and RT-PCR,NF-κB and TNF-αproteins and mRNA in UC colon epithelium cells and inflammatory cells were higher than the control(P<0.01).Bak protein in inflammatory cells were lower than the control(P<0.01),but there was no statistical significance in epithelial cells(P>0.05).The expression levels of NF-κB,TNF-αincreased as the histological grade increased(P<0.05),however,the expression level of Bak decreased(P<0.05).NF-κB in colonic mucosa of rats with UC had a significantly positive correlation with that of TNF-α(r=0.892,P<0.01),and negatively correlated with that of Bak(r=-0.793,P<0.01).Conclusion:The levels of NF-κB and Bak may be related to the occurrence and development of UC.

Objective: According to heparanase’s gene sequence of gene bank, to construct heparanase gene-targeted small interfering RNA (siRNA)and its expression vector and to observe its interfering effect on the expression of heparanase gene in human malignant breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Methods: Heparanase gene-targeted hairpin siRNA was designed, two complementary oligonucleotide strand was synthesized and inserted into pGPU6/GFP/Neo vector,which was identified by sequence identify. Human malignant breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with the constructed vector with lipofectamine method. Western blot was per-formed to evaluate the expression of heparanase protein. Results: Four kinds of heparanase gene-targeted hairpin siRNA were designed, and were inserted into pGPU6/GFP/Neo vector after annealing. The vector containing siRNA was proved to be right by sequencing. The result of Western blot indicated that the expression of heparanase could be degraded by siRNA. Conclusion: The expression of heparanase can be degraded by siRNA method, and HPSE-A and HPSE-B showed the best results.
