Journal of Forensic Medicine 2016;32(2):90-93
Objective To explore the relationship betw een injury age and expressions of erythropoietin (EPO ) and its receptor EPO R in the brain tissue of rats after cerebral injury. Methods Seventy-tw o rats w ere random ly divided into control group (36 rats) and cerebral injury group (36 rats). The rats w ere sac-rificed at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after cerebral injury (6 rats at each tim e point) and the brain tissues w ere extracted. The expressions of m RNA and protein of EPO and EPO R at different tim e points w ere de-tected by real-tim e fluorescent quantitative PC R and W estern bloting. Results The expressions of EPO and EPO R increased w ithin 24 h after injury. The expressions of m RNA and protein of EPO w ere relat-ed to the injury age, and the correlations w ere 0.875, 0.911, respectively (P<0.05). The expressions of m RNA and protein of EPO R w ere related to the injury age, and the correlation coefficients w ere 0.936, 0.905, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion The expressions of EPO and EPO R increase gradually in the early stage of the rat’s cerebral injury, w hich are associated w ith the injury age and could be a useful value for estim ating injury age.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the relationship between injury age and expressions of erythropoietin (EPO) and its receptor EPOR in the brain tissue of rats after cerebral injury.
METHODS:
Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into control group (36 rats) and cerebral injury group (36 rats). The rats were sacrificed at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after cerebral injury (6 rats at each time point) and the brain tissues were extracted. The expressions of mRNA and protein of EPO and EPOR at different time points were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and Western bloting.
RESULTS:
The expressions of EPO and EPOR increased within 24 h after injury. The expressions of mRNA and protein of EPO were related to the injury age, and the correlations were 0.875, 0.911, respectively (P < 0.05). The expressions of mRNA and protein of EPOR were related to the injury age, and the correlation coefficients were 0.936, 0.905, respectively (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The expressions of EPO and EPOR increase gradually in the early stage of the rat's cerebral injury, which are associated with the injury age and could be a useful value for estimating injury age.

Objective To construct the recombinant plasmid of fusion protein containing respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cytotoxicity T lymphocyte (CTL) epitope M2:81-95 and heat shock protein (HSP) 70L1, and to investigate its immunogenicity after prokaryotic expression. Methods HSP70L1 gone was cloned from SMMC7721 cells. The M2:81-95 gene fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Plasmid pET-HSP70L1-M2 : 81-95 (pET-HSP70L1-M2) was constructed, identified and transferred into E. coli BL21 (DE3). Expression of HSP70L1-M2 : 81-95(HSP70L1-M2) was induced by isopropy-β-D-thiogalaetosidc (IPTG). The expressed protein was purified by affinity chromatography and renatured by gradient dialysis. The BALB/c mice were immunized with this fusion protein. IgG antibodies and the subtypes were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and CTL responses were determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). Results The recombinant plasmid pET-HSP70L1-M2 was successfully constructed. The fusion protein HSP70L1-M2 was expressed in E. coll. The purified protein induced strong RSV-and CTL epitope-specific CTL responses and high titer of protein specific lgG antibody 4.87±0.35. The subtypes were IgG1 (5.53±0.28) and lgG2a (4.40±0.21) and IgG1/ IgG2a ratio was balanced. The titers of lgG, IgG1 and IgG2a in PBS control group were 0.33±0.17, 0.51±0.21 and 0, respectively, which werc significantly lower than those in immunized group (t = 3.512, 3.681, 5.856; P<0.05). Conclusions The recombinant plasmid pET-HSP70L1-M2 is successfully constructed and the fusion protein is expressed and purified. HSP70L1-M2 induced strong RSV-and CTL epitope-specific CTL responses and mixed T helper cell (Th)1/Th2 response in BALB/c mice.

Objective To discuss the value of applying psychological therapy for patients with cerebral apoplexy in recovery.Methods In recent years,65 patients with cerebral apoplexy admitted in our hospital were randomly selected and divided into observation group and control group.Patients in the control group only received the conventional treatment and those in the observation group received psychological treatment on the basis of the traditional therapy.Psychological characteristics,activity of daily living and the improvement of nerve function were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results After treatment,mental improvement,FMA,MBI in the observation group were significantly better than those of control group (P<0.05).Conclusion To improve the prognosis of patients with cerebral apoplexy effect,physical and mental development should be equally emphasized.Psychological intervention has become a key for stroke rehabilitation treatment,which significantly improves the treatment compliance,rehabilitation and the quality of life in patients.

Preeclampsia is a leading cause of maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. It is very important to explore the biomarkers for the early prediction of preeclampsia. Some peptides released from placenta, such as soluble Flt-1 and placenta growth factor (PlGF), have been revealed for definite prospects of application. Meanwhile, the recent advances in proteomics, metabolomics and microRNA shed light on searching of new biomarkers for preeclampsia prediction.
