mRNA display provides a new powerful tool for in vitro selecting of peptides and proteins.In the selecting process,peptides are covalently attached to their own mRNA to form mRNA-protein fusions.These mRNA-protein fusions enable in vitro selection of peptide and protein libraries of more than 1013 different sequences.The experiment conditions and protocols have been optimized in recent years.The application of mRNA display technology is mainly in the discovery of ligands for many kinds of target molecules and the analysis and mechanism elucidation on interaction between proteins.With its great potential,there will be a wide application foreground in the application of mRNA display.

Objective To study the clinical distribution of Listeria monocytogenes infection and the changes in drug resistance of Listeria monocytogenes isolated from inpatients during recent 3 years,and to increase the awareness of the situation and provide data for clinical antibiotics application.Methods The clinical distribution of 22 cases of neonatal Listeria infection and drug resistance changes of Listeria were retrospectively analyzed in Bayi Children's Hospital from Jan.2011 to Dec.2013.Results Neonates began to be attacked by Listeria monocytogenes of 0.5 hours to 5 days (an average of 17.45 hours) after birth.The average birth weight was (2 331.82 ± 677.64) g.There were 7 full term cases and 15 premature infants,13 cases with low birth wcight.The average hospitalization was (21.91 ± 17.64)days.The cure rate was 45.45％ (10/22 cases).All the mothers of 15 cases had fever in the third trimester of pregnancy and the temperature was 37.5-39.5 ℃.Infection rate with Listeria monocytogenes in neonatal was 0.03％ (2/7 137 cases),0.11％ (8/7 281 cases) and 0.19％ (12/6 394 cases) in 3 years,respectively.From 2011 to 2013,the sensitive rate of antimicrobial drugs with Listeria monocytogencs to commonly used antimicrobial was 82.72％,75.40％ and 50.66％,and the rate of drug resistance was 17.28％,17.50％ and 11.01％,respectively.During 3 years,the rates of drug resistance had no significant difference (x2 =3.65,P ＞ 0.05),and the sensitive rates had a trend of declination year by year(x2 =36.87,P ＜ 0.01).The sensitive rates and the drugs resistant rates of penicillin were 33.93％ (19/56 cases)and 51.79％ (29/56 cases),respectively.In 3 years,the drugs resistant rates of penicillin was 100.00％,40.00％,and 46.43％,and the sensitive rate was 0,60.00％,25.00％,respectively.There was a high sensitivity of Listeria monocytogenes to ampicillin,aminoglycoside,sugar peptide,tetracycline,macrolides,lincosamides,quinolone,sulfa and other classes (such as rifampicin).It showed the different drug resistance rates with 33.33％-100.00％ to oxacillin,penicillin G and nitrofurans.Conclusions These children has the characteristics of early-onset infection.The pregnant women and newborns are susceptible to high-risk groups.Infection rates with Listeria of neonatal and Listeria monocytogenes isolated from inpatients showed a trend of increase year by year.The cases were very sensitive to commonly used antimicrobial for killing Listeria monocytogenes.There was a trend of the declination for drug resistance to penicillin,but it was still at a higher level.The drugs resistance rate to oxacillin,penicillin G and nitrofurans were high.

BACKGROUND:At present, there are stil differences in the studies of total-etch, self-etch and self-bonding resin cement effect on the coronal microleakage and bonding strength of fiber posts.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the coronal microleakage and the bonding strength of fiber posts treated with three kinds of resin cements.
METHODS:Total y 32 upper incisors were randomly divided into five groups, including three experimental groups and two control groups. After the root canal preparation, three kinds of resin cements (EMBRACE WetBond, LuxaCore, Medental Multi-cure) were used to fiber posts with the bond diameter of 1.4 mm. Stereomicroscope was used to observe the microleakage. Then, the specimens were cut into 2 mm wafer along the axis of tooth, and universal testing machine for push-out test was used to observe the failure mode. In the positive control group, no root canal preparation was done, the root was coated with nail polish, and the crown was directly exposed to the dye. In the negative control group, no root canal preparation was done, the root canal orifice was covered with the resin, the tooth was overal coated with nail polish and then embedded 1 mm below the section.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The microleakage was observed in al the three resin cements, Medental Multi-cure showed the least microleakage and LuxaCore showed the largest microleakage, and there was significantly different among the three kinds of resin cements (P<0.05). The bonding strength of three cements had significant differences (P<0.05), and ranked from high to low:Mdental Multi-cure, LuxaCore, and EMBRACE WetBond. The main fracture modes were binder/fiber post fracture and mixed failure. The results suggest that the total-etch resin cement binds tightly with the dentin, and owns a superiority in the microleakage and bonding property as compared with the self-etch resin cements and self-bonding resin cements.

Objective To compare the differences in metabolites between newborns with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) in order to understand the changes in metabolites of newborns with IUGR and explore the possible metabolic mechanism of tissue and organ damages in patients with IUGR,with the ultimate goal of providing the basis for clinical intervention.Methods A total of 45 newborns with IUGR and 56 AGA newborns who were hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Bayi Children's Hospital,the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army between July 2009 and June 2015 and who underwent metabolic disease screening were enrolled in this study.The differences in of 21 amino acids and 55 carnitines in peripheral blood,as well as the changes in the ratios of free carnitine and acylcarnitine to total carnitine,were compared.Results (1)According to the comparison of birth weights (＜ 3rd percentile,3rd-＜ 5th percentile,5th-＜ 10th percentile,and 10th-90th percentile),peripheral blood of the IUGR newborns with birth weight ＜ 3rd percentile contained lower concentrations of alanine (F =2.94,P =0.03),homocysteine (F =3.83,P =0.01),methionine (F =2.88,P =0.04),ornithine(F =3.32,P =0.02),serine (F =3.09,P =0.03) and tyrosine (F =4.76,P =0.00) than those of the AGA newborns.In the peripheral blood of the IUGR newborns with birth weight of 3rd-＜ 5th percentile,the diversity of alanine concentrations showed compensatory increase,and their alanine concentrations were higher than those of the AGA newborns.(2) Metabolites also had significant differences in different gestational age groups:the concentrations of alanine (t =2.423,P =0.026),proline (t =2.470,P =0.023),and 14-carbon acylcarnitine (t =-2.870,P =0.010) in premature was higher than those in full-term newborns,but the concentration of 26-carbon acylcarnitine (t =-2.189,P =0.041) was lower than full-term ones;the concentrations of alanine (t =2.354,P =0.022),glutamine (t =2.520,P =0.015),pipecolic acid (t =2.017,P =0.049),proline (t =2.204,P =0.032) in premature AGA newborns were higher than those in full-term ones,but the concentrations of homocysteine (t =-2.624,P =0.011),seven carbon acylcarnitine(t =-2.403,P =0.020),and ten carbon acylcarnitine (t =-5.739,P =0.000) were lower than those of full-term AGA newborns;the concentrations of homocysteine (t =-2.421,P =0.020),decanogl carnitine(t =-2.181,P =0.035),methyl propylene acyl carnitine (t =-2.373,P =0.022),pentyl acyl carnitine (t =-2.165,P =0.036),decyl acyl carnitine (t =-4.148,P =0.000),hydroxyl acetyl carnitine (t =-2.097,P =0.042),hydroxyl cetyl acylcarnitine (t =-2.446,P =0.019) in premature IUGR were higher than those in fullterm IUGR newborns;but the concentrations of arginine (t =2.167,P =0.036),glutamic acid (t =2.469,P =0.018),histidine (t =2.718,P =0.009),leucine/isoleucine (t =3.938,P =0.000),ornithine (t =4.264,P =0.000),serine (t =2.647,P =0.011),threonine (t =2.311,P =0.026),tryptophan (t =4.040,P =0.000),valine (t =2.700,P =0.01),7-carbon acylcarnitine (t =-2.44 1,P =0.019),18-carbon diene carnitine (t =2.449,P =0.018),capric acylcarnitine(t =-4.148,P =0.000) and hydroxyl acetyl carnitine (t =-2.097,P =0.042) were lower than those in full-term IUGR newborns.(3) For AGA newborns,metabolites had no differences between male and female (P ＞ 0.05);however,for newborns with IUGR,metabolites significantly differed between male and female,and the concentrations of aspartic acid(t=2.521,P =0.016),glutamate(t =-2.175,P =0.035) in male IUGR were lower than those in female newborns with IUGR,but the concentration of 26-carbon carnitine (t =2.231,P =0.031) was higher than that in female group.(4) Birth weight had no significant effect on free carnitine concentration or on the ratios of free carnitine and acylcarnitine to total carnitine(all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions IUGR infants exhibit significant abnormalities in amino acid and acylcarnitine metabolism,especially those with birth weight ＜ 3rd percentile.With the increase of birth weight,amino acids and acylcarnitines showed compensatory increases or decrease,and when birth weight reached the 10th percentile,the newborns with IUGR were close to the AGA newborns.

To simplify the macrocyclic fragment and to modify the zinc binding group of the natural product apicidin, two series of S-hexyl (heptyl) ethanethioate derivatives were designed and synthesized. Twenty-six compounds were synthesized and confirmed with 1H NMR, IR, MS and HR-MS spectrum, which were not reported. Take vorinostat as control, their antiporliferative activities against cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and HL-60, were tested with MTT assay or trypan blue staining method. Generally in both series it was found that, the chiral carbon atom at 7 position is not necessary, compounds II-1, II-3, II-6 and II-13 showed good activity on HL-60 cells in vitro, with the IC50 values less than 10 micromol x L(-1). II-7 and II-8 showed stronger activity against MCF-7 than Vorinostat, with the IC50 of 3.19 and 6.29 micromol x L(-1), respectively.

Objective To investigate the differences of HCV infection rates among blood donors of different Chinese nationalities.Methods Anti-HCV results from more than 300000 blood donors of 41 nationalities from 8 provinces or autonomous regions were investigated and analyzed.Serum anti-HCV antibody was tested by ELISA.Results(1)The anti-HCV prevalence rate was 0.98%(676/68782) among first time blood donors;0.71%(1750/245137) among repeated donors;and the overall anti-HCV prevalence rate among all the blood donors was 0.77%(2426/313919).The anti-HCV prevalence rate was higher among first time donors,compared to repeated donors(P

Limb shaking transient ischemic attack (LS-TIA) is a rare form of TIA, usually based on severe narrowing or occlusion of the internal carotid artery. Clinically, it is mainly characterized by episodic involuntary limb shaking, which generally lasts for several seconds or minutes and often occurs after exercise or standing up. At present, there are few studies on LS-TIA in China, with only sporadic case reports, and without systematic review and meta-analysis studies; and it seems to fail in attracting widespread concern from neurologists. In this paper, the pathogenesis, clinical features, imaging features and diagnosis and treatment methods of LS-TIA are reviewed as follows, in order to improve the level of early recognition and treatment of LS-TIA from clinicians.
