1.Attenuated Salmonella as tumor vaccine vectors
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(9):649-651
Attenuated Salmonella can be used not only as live vaccines but also as vectors for exogenous genes. As vectors, attenuated bacteria can deliver genes directly to tumor tissues, leading to the expression of the cloned genes and induction of specific anti-tumor immunologic responses to inhibit tumor growth. Using attenuated Salmonella as a vector offers a new approach for vaccine development.
2.Study on clinical features of hepatitis G virus infection and HGV invasion to peripheral blood mononuclear cells
Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2001;19(2):91-93
Objective To explore the clinical features of hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection and HGV replication sites in vivo. Methods A sensitive and specific reverse transcription-nested polymerase chain reaction (RT-nested PCR) was set up to detect the plus-stranded and minus-stranded HGV RNA in sera of 129 high risk population as well as in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 59 cases of them. The clinical features of HGV infection were analyzed in the meantime. Results Among 9 patients with single HGV infected, 3 cases were diagnosed as acute hepatitis, 3 cases as chronic hepatitis and the other 3 cases as healthy carriers. The detection rate of HGV RNA in PBMCs is much lower than that of HCV RNA (35.7 % vs. 77.3 % , P<0.05). In all 59 PBMCs and 129 serum samples no minus-stranded HGVRNA was found. Conclusion HGV infection can cause acute or chronic hepatitis with mild clinical manifestation. HGV can invade PBMCs but can not replicate in PBMCs, and the ability of HGV to invade PBMCs is lower than that of HCV.

Objective: To analysis the effects of laser and lucentis treatment of diabetic retinopathy. Methods:Fifty-three patients with DR were treated with laser and lucentis in our hospital from October 2012 to October 2013 as observer group. Forty-nine patients with DR were treated with laser in our hospital from September 2011 to September 2012 as control group. Results:The results indicated that visual acuity improved rate was 67.9%and decreased vision rate was 13.2% in observer group. Vision conditions in the observation group was better than that in the control group with significant difference (x2=4.60, x2=3.87; P<0.05). Simultaneously, improve time of hemorrhage, exudates, edema and macular thickness in the observation group was better than that in the control group with significant difference (t=4.17, t=3.92, t=4.06; P<0.05). Conclusion: The laser and lucentis treatment of diabetic retinopathy can significantly improving symptoms of retinal and promoting visual recovery.
4.Multidisciplinary approach in the management of diabetic retinopathy
Chinese Journal of Ocular Fundus Diseases 2017;33(3):224-229
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM).Like other macrovascular complications of DM,the development and progression of DR is influenced by a variety of systemic and local factors.It is essential to understand the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration.Systemic risk fators such as hyperglycemia,hypertension,dyslipidemia and diabetic nephropathy should be treated before effective DR management can be implemented.Through multidisciplinary collaboration,we can prevent the development of DR,slow the progression of DR,and improve the safety of perioperative care.Thereby enhancing the level of prevention and control of DM complications,including DR.

Objective To study the interaction between HCV core protein and HCBP6 in mammlian cells using CheckMateTM Mammalian Two-Hybrid System.Methods cDNA fragments encoding HCV core protein and HCBP6 were amplified by PCR and subsequently cloned into pGEM-T vector.After verified by sequencing,the target fragments were subcloned into mammalian two-hybrid plasmids,pBIND and PACT,respectively.The recombinant plasmids,pBIND-core and pACT-HCBP6 were co-transfected into HepG2 cells with reporter plasmid pG5luc.pBIND+pACT were induced as background controls,pBIND-Myod+pACT-Id as positive controls,and pBIND-core+pACT,pBIND+pACT-HCBP6 as blank controls.The expression of G5luc,which indicated the interaction between HCV core protein and HCBP6 in mammlian HepG2 cells,was assayed through Dual-Luciferase Report Assay System and Turner Biosystems Veritas Microplate Lunimometer.Results The recombinant vectors pBIND-core and pACT-HCBP6 were successfully constructed.When co-transfected into HepG2 cells with reporter plasmid pG5luc,there were significant differences in the luciferase activity in the pBIND-core and pACT-HCBP6 groups compared with every control group.Conclusions HCBP6 can interact with HCV core protein in HepG2 cells,which provides clues for further study on the function of HCBP6 and core proteins,and on the mechanism of HCV core in cell apoptosis and cancer transformation.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of ankylosing spondylitis treated with sacroiliac joint injection under C-arm X-ray guidance. Methods Four hundred and eighty-three patients of ankylosing spondylitis were divided randomly into two groups according to the treatment method. Four hundred and twenty-one cases were in group A:sacroiliac joint injection under C-arm X-ray, the injection medicine were diprospan or triamcinolone acetonide and methotrexate, and with oral sulfasalazine (SASP) as well. Sixty-two cases were in group B: oral medicion SASP and meloxicam alone without injection. Self-evaluation, finger-to-floor distance, changes in Schober's sign, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) before and after treatment of 3 d, 1 week,2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks and 3 months were observed. Results Two indicators including self-evaluation and finger-to-floor distance at initial 3 d were significantly lower than those before treatment in group A: (6.18 ±0.55) scores vs. (8.89 ±0.53) scores, (30.10 ±3.94) cm vs. (50.20 ±3.93) cm, P<0.05. Schober's sign and occiput-to-wall distance at 1 week after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in group A:(3.44± 0.32) cm vs.(3.19±0.47) cm, (9.49±0.68) cm vs. (10.72±2.36) cm, P<0.05. Two indicators including self-evaluation and finger-to-floor distance at 1 week after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment in group B:(7.07 ± 0.72) scores vs. (9.08 ±0.46) scores, (48.14 ±5.62) cm vs. (50.84 ±4.33) cm, P<0.05. Schober's sign at 4 weeks after treatment was significantly lower than that than before treatment in group B:(3.49± 0.56) cm vs. (3.22±0.58) cm, P<0.05. Occiput-to-wall distance at 2 weeks after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment in group B:(9.08±1.54) cm vs. (10.11±1.58) cm, P<0.05. Conclusion The method of C-arm X-ray guided sacroiliac joint injection for treatment of ankylosing spondylitis is effective and feasible.

Aim: To study the effect of Eudragit S-100, a pH-responsive polymer, on protein refolding level, using recombinant human keratinocyte growth factor-2 (rhKGF-2) as a model protein. Methods: The refolding of rh-KGF-2 was performed by directly diluting denatured rhKGF-2 into a refolding buffer containing different concentrations of Eudragit. The ability of Eudragit S-100 to enhance protein refolding level was investigated using MTT assay, reverse phase HPLC, fluorescence emission spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Results: The addition of Eudragit S-100 in the refolding buffer significantly increased the rhKGF-2 refolding yield to 71%, when dilution refolding was conducted at 0. 5 mg/mL rhKGF-2. The outcome from the refolding study showed possibility of a special interaction between rhKGF-2 and Eudragit, suggesting that the refolding-enhancing ability of Eudragit S-100 was due to this interaction between Eudragit S-100 and rhKGF-2. Mean while, the result showed that the concentration of urea was also an important factor for the optimization of the refolding in the presence of Eudragit. Conclusion: Eudragit S-100 can significantly increase the refolding level of rhKGF-2.
