1.Key residues in CCR5 extracellular loops binding with HIV gp120: a site-directed mutagenesis study
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 1982;0(01):-
Objective:To investigate the role of CCR5 key residues as a co-recptor for the cellular entry of human immunodeficiency virus type Ⅰ(HIV-Ⅰ).Methods: Mutation of amino acids was introduced in different extracellular loops of CCR5 by site-directed mutagenesis technique,turning the non-polar amino acids into polar ones,the non-hydrophilic into hydrophilic,and the aromatic into non-aromatic.The mutants of CCR5 were expressed in BamHⅠ/XhoⅠ and were allowed to bind with gp120,and the binding activity of the mutants was compared with that of wild-type CCR5.Results: The coreceptor activity of CCR5 was reduced greatly when Cys in the first extracellular loop was replaced by Tyr and Pro in the third extracellular loop was replaced by Ser.There was no obvious change in the coreceptor activity of CCR5 when other replacements were introduced.Conclusion: HIV-Ⅰ virus needs receptor and co-receptor to achieve its cellular entry.CCR5 is a co-receptor and some of its extracellular loop amino acids are essential for gp120 recognition of HIV-Ⅰ.

Objective:This study aims to ensure the private hospitals development strategy in the background of new healthcare reform and put forward some scientific suggestions to help promote their sustainable development. Methods:The SWOT analysis method was adopted to analyze the private hospitals’ internal strength, weakness, exter-nal opportunity and threats. Results: The results showed a clear property right, advanced management system and other outstanding advantages in the private hospitals. Opportunities like the improved policy environment and people’s medical demand expansion are also very prominent. Meanwhile, the private hospitals development also faces some disadvantages and challenges such as illegal operation, disorder in the market competition, vague orientation, etc. Conclusions:It suggests the strengthening of the personnel and hospital culture construction, adoption of the differen-tiation strategy, improvement of the diagnosis and treatment ability, etc.

Objectives:This study aims to summarize the research progress of multiple-site physician practice to determine further research directions. Methods:Literature on Chinese multiple-site physician practice between 1949 and 2013 was obtained from CNKI, Wan fang database and CQVIP database, the annual volume distribution of se-lected documents was been described and the topics and content of literature cited at least once were summarized through literature content analysis. Results:The volume of literature increased rapidly from 2009, guided by related government policies. Content analysis is insufficient in the research areas of supporting policies, international experi-ences, relevant laws and empirical studies. Suggestions: Further research should focus on multiple-site physician practice policies themselves and supporting policy analysis, international comparisons of multiple-site physician prac-tice systems, studies into relevant laws and regulations and empirical studies based on quantitative methods.

Objective To design an instrument that can provide a series of pulse to stimulate cell by means of external electric field, the structure and function of organism can retrieve. Methods AVR MCU, produced by America ATMEL Co., is used as the core of the system. The program has been developed to adjust three pulse's parameters, including amplitude, frequency and pulse duration. The cooperation between DAC and OP completes the transformation from monopole pulse to bipolar pulse. The booster PB50 amplifies the current and voltage of the output. Results The Stimulator can provide bipolar pulse, amplitude: up to ?40V, frequency: 0.01Hz -10Hz, pulse duration: 0.4ms -24ms. Conclusion Cooperating with special electrode board, the instrument can provide effective electric field for cell simulating. At present the instrument has been used in the research of the endothelial progenitor cell.

Objective To investigate the effect of long-term cardiac rehabilitation on risk factors with doctor supervision after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI). Methods One hundred and twelve patients after PCI were divided into the cardiac rehabilitation group(56 cases) and the control group (56 cases). All of the patients were given medication and health education, meanwhile the cardiac rehabilitation group received 4~6 weeks hospitalized cardiac rehabilitation program and one year ambulatory cardiac rehabilitation with doctor supervision. Risk factors were assessed six mouths and twelve mouths after the treatment. Results The risk factors except diastolic blood pressure and body weight index improved more significantly in the cardiac rehabilitation group than in the control group. Clinical event in the cardiac rehabilitation group is lower than in the control group. Conclusion Long-term cardiac rehabilitation with doctor supervision is safe, efficiency and good compliance to improve risk factors of coronary heart disease after PCI except diastolic blood pressure and weight management.

Objective:Our aim was to To clarify the roles of p16 and p15 proteins in the genesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia(ALL).Methods:Twenty-three samples of ALL were studied by the method of indirect immunofluorescence.Flow cytometer was used to estimate the cellular fluorescent intensity to determine the levels of p16 and p15 proteins.Results:Negative expression for p16 protein was found in 10 of 23 samples,and 8 of 23 were p15 negative expression.Both kinds of proteins were abscent in 6 samples.2 of 3 cases of T-ALL were negative expression of p16,p15 protein.In non T-ALL,6 of 13 were negative expression for p16 protein,5 of 13 were p15 protein deficient.The expression rates of p16,p15 protein in high leukocyte group were lower than those of non-high leukocyte group(P<0.05).The expression rates of p16,p15 proteins in HR-ALL were lower than those of SR-ALL(P<0.05).Conclusion:The p16 and p15 proteins take part in the genesis of ALL.Negative expression of p16,p15 proteins might imply the poor clinical outcome.

Objective To detect serum levels of thyroid hormones in patients with thyroid nodules (TN), and investi-gate their relationship with the nature of TN. Methods A total of 245 patients with TN were recruited in the study. Accord-ing to levels of thyroid antibodies and postoperative pathological results, all patients were divided into nodular goiter (NG) group, thyroid adenoma (TA) group and thyroid cancer (TC) group. TC group was further classified as the TC with increased level of thyroid antibodies (TC-AB+group) and the TC with normal level of thyroid antibodies (TC-AB-group). The serum levels of free T3 (FT3), free T4 (FT4) and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were detected for all patients before operation, and differences of thyroid hormones were analyzed between different groups. Results The serum level of TSH was signifi-cantly higher in TC group than that of NG group and TA group (P<0.05). The serum level of FT3 was significantly lower in TC-AB+group than that of NG group and TC-AB-group. The serum level of FT4 was significantly lower in TC-AB+group than that of NG group, and the serum TSH level was significantly higher than that of other groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The increased serum levels of TSH were found in some patients with TC, which may partly attribute to their coexistence with autoimmune thyroiditis and subsequent hypothyroidism. The increased serum TSH level may not be the inherent characteris-tics of TC.

Objective To observe the relationship between injury of corticospinal cord tract (CST) in basal ganglia and upper limb func-tion after stroke using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Methods 18 stroke inpatients hospitalized from January, 2013 to July, 2015 accepted DTI, and their upper limb function was evaluated with simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Japan Upper Limb Function Test. The fractional anisotropy (FA) of CST in basal ganglia of affected and unaffected sides were compared, and the correlation between FA of affected CST and upper limb motor function were analyzed. Results The FA was significantly less in the affected CST than in the unaffected CST (t=-21.09, P<0.001). The FA of the affected CST correlated with the scores of simple Fugl-Meyer Assessment (r=0.570, P<0.05) and Japan Upper Limb Function Test (r=0.509, P<0.05). Conclusion CST is injured after stroke, which may related to the upper limbs motor function impairment.
