Objective: To construct an eukaryotic expression plasmid containing gene coding for the hemagglutinin neuraminidase(HN) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV), and to study its mechanism and value in antitumor therapy. Methods: The HN cDNA was abtained from NDV with RT PCR and an eukaryotic expression vector of HN gene ( pcDNA3 HN ) was constructed. The antitumor effect was evaluated after injecting pcDNA3 HN into mice bearing B16 melanoma. Results: The HN cDNA of NDV was successfully cloned and pcDNA3 HN had a good expression in COS 7 cells. Animal experiments suggested that the pcDNA3 HN could significantly increase CTL and NK activity of tumor bearing mice. Conclusion:The eukaryotic expression plasmid containing the gene coding for the (HN) has the function of increasing CTL and NK activity of tumor bearing mice.

Objective To explore the application of Artglass material in aesthetical restoration. Methods A total of 2196 restoratio ns, including 1963 veneers and 233 crowns, were made for 335 patients, and clini cal results were examined and recorded one by one. The related problems were dis cussed. Results There was significant improvement on cosmetics in most of the 2196 restorations; 44 restorations in 21 patients were failed, re sulting in a failure rate of 2%. The failure cases were repaired with Chrisma ma terial or remade with Artglass material. Conclusion Artglass ma terial has satisfactory prosthesis effects in aesthetical restoration. The bondi ng process and occlusion adjustment are important and should be specially notice d.

Different human thyroid carcinoma cell lines were treated with all-trans retinoic acid(RA). RA could inhibit cell growth,improve iodide uptake and increase some thyroid specific genes and retinoid acid receptor(RAR)mRNA expressions in FTC-133 cells.However,RA had no effect in C643,HTH74 and XTC. UC1 cells.These findings indicate that different thyroid carcinoma cells display diverse responses to RA.

0.05). In the group of pirenzepine, the RBF, velocity and volume significantly increased at 0.5 h and 1 h after injection compared with that before injection (P0.05). Conclusion These results suggest that pirenzepine could increase RBF and oxygen in blood with the peak time at 0.5 h and 1 h after intravitreous injection.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the present situation of the nosocomial infection in our hospital in order to decrease the infection rate. METHODS A total of 40 554 patients were inspected from Oct 2004 to Sept 2005.There were 626 patients with nosocomial infection. RESULTS The nosocomial infection was 1.54%.Old patients were the main components.The longer they were in hosptial,the more risk of infection they had.Elder monitoring department and hematological department were the most common infected units.Respiratory tract was the most common infected site of the body.The entity of disease for the most infection was malignant tumor.Invasive treatment was one of the causes for the infection. CONCLUSIONS The infection rate of our hospital was relatively low.We should establish the system to control the infection.Use the advanced statistical software well be to aid the control and discover the anti-infection deficiency from the statistical view-point.

Flavonoids is one of the biggest families of the plant-derived secondary metabolites with structural diversity. Until now, over 10 000 kinds of flavonoids with distinct structures have been purified and identified from plants, and some of them possess a range of important pharmacological effects, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory and so on. So far, a number of genes and enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of flavonoids have been reported, especially, a great of progress has been achieved in the synthetic biology of flavonoids in the recent years. Herein, based upon a brief introduction on the biosynthesis of flavonoids, this review summarizes the research advances in synthetic biology of flavonoids in the past two decades (2001-2021), highlighting the cell factories construction of the representative flavonoids. And, a brief discussion and prospects of the relevant metabolic bottlenecks and optimizing strategies are proposed.

Objective To investigate the effects of Yindan Xinnaotong Soft Capsule on oxidative stress and vascular endothe‐lial function in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM ) .Methods A total of 86 patients with T2DM were randomly di‐vided into the routine glucose‐reducing group(routine group ,40 cases) and the Yindan Xinnaotong Soft Capsule group(Yindan Xin‐naotong group ,46 cases) .On the basis of diet control and exercise ,the routine group was given the glucose‐reducing therapy for blood glucose reaching the standard for 12 successive weeks ,while on the basis of blood glucose reaching the standard by the rou‐tine therapy ,the Yindan Xinnaotong group was added with Yindan Xinnaotong Soft Capsule ,1 .2 g per time ,3 times daily for 12 successive weeks .The changes of blood lipids ,MDA ,SOD ,NO and ET were determined before treatment and after 12‐week treat‐ment .The flow mediated endothelium‐dependent diastolic function (FMD) and non‐flow mediated endothelium‐dependent diastolic function (NMD) in brachial artery were simultaneously detected using ultrasonography .Results After 12 weeks of treatment ,the levels of TC ,TG ,LDL‐C ,MDA and ET in the two group were obviously decreased compared with before treatment ,the levels of HDL‐C ,SOD ,NO and FMD in both groups were increased (P<0 .05);moreover the above indexes after treatment in the Yindan Xinnaotong group had significant changes compared with the routine group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Yindan Xinnaotong Soft Cap‐sule can down‐regulate oxidative stress and regulate the lipid metabolic abnormality and obviously improve the injured vascular en‐dothelial function in T2DM .

Objective To study the expression of the tumor suppressor gene TSHR and pl6 in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and explore the relationship of the tumorigenesis and the promoter aberrant methylation of the two above genes. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of two tumor suppressor genes in 50 cases of PTC, 20 cases of nodular goiter and 12 cases of thyroid adenoma tissue. The promoter methylation status of the two genes were detected by methylation-specific PCR technique (MSP) (which of p16 by nested PCR). The promoter hypermethylation of the two genes was tested by randomly gene sequencing. Results Hypermethylation of promoter region were detected from 68.0 % (34/50) TSHR gene and 54.0 % (27/50) pl6 gene in PTC, while 21.9 % (7/32) and 15.60 % (5/32) in controls. The rate of promoter methylation in PTC was significantly higher than that in controls (χ2 = 16.61, P <0.05 vs χ2 =12.08 P <0.05). The relative mRNA expression of TSHR gene and pl6 gene were (0.41±0.11) and (0.51±0.17) in PTC, respectively, while those were (0.63 ±0.08) and (0.72 ±0.22) in controls, respectively. The mRNA expression of the TSHR gene and pl6 gene was obviously lower in PTC than that in controls (t = 3.86, P < 0.05 vs t =3.66, P <0.05). By the sequencing, it was confirmed that the CG in methylated promoter of the two genes was not changed, while the CG in unmethylated promoter was changed into TG. Conclusion Methylation of the TSHR gene and p16 gene in promoter region is a common molecule event and may be invovled in the genesis and development of human PTC.

Objective To investigate the effect of total hip arthroplasty in treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and bilateral hip bony ankylosis. Methods 43 patients with ankylosing spondylitis and bilateral hip bony ankylosis were randomly divided into observation group (23 cases) and control group (20 cases) in accordance with the principle of informed consent, individually treated by total hip arthroplasty and conservative treatment, the effect of two groups were compared and analyzed. Results In the observation group, the postoperative Harris hip score and the VAS pain score of patients were significantly better than the control group,the differences were all statistically significant between two groups( all P ＜ 0.05 ). Excellent rate of the two groups were 91.3% and 60.0% respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( x2 = 4.328, P ＜ 0.05 ). Conclusion Total hip arthroplasty in treatment of patients with ankylosing spondylitis and bilateral hip bony ankylosis has better clinical effect, and could improve the quality of life of patients, so it was worthy of clinical application.
