Objective To investigate the role of compound traditional Chinese medicine Yiqilin in the regulation of immune-related genes expression in spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Methods Ten SHR were randomly divided into test group(fed with Yiqilin and ordinary food at the ratio of 1:9 for 6 months,n=5)and control group(fed with ordinary food for 6 months,n=5).Total RNA was extracted from myocardial tissues of SHR after 6 months,and gene chip hybridization technique was employed to analyse the expression of immune-regulated genes of myocardial tissues in two groups.The genes with differentiation expression were screened,and were verified by Real-time PCR.Results The expression of 32 immune-related genes were up-regulated in the test group,including interleukin(IL)6 receptor,IL-6 signal transduction factor,chemotatic factor,antigen presenting molecule,antibody receptor,heat shock protein(Hsp), etc.No immune-related gene was down-regulated in test group.The results of 2 immune-related genes(Hsp 105 and Hsp 90)detected by Real-time PCR were consistent with those by gene chip hybridization.Conclusion Part of the immune-related genes in myocardial tissues in SHR may be up-regulated by Yiqiling,which indicates that Yiqiling may play a role in the regulation of expression of immune-related genes in SHR.

The changes in cell adhesion molecule CD15 and PECAM-1 in grafted renal tissue from 18 cases of acute allograft rejection were studied by immunohistochemistry techniques (SP method ) and computerized imaging analysis system. The results showed that: (1) CD15 positive expression level was higher in acute allograft rejection than that in normal renal in tuberular cells.(2) PECAM-1 expression level was lower in glomerular endothelial cells, but higher in tuberular cells than those in normal renal tissue during acute allograft rejection. The above findings suggested that the detection of CD15 and PECAM-1 in the grafted kidney might have some values in the diagnosis of acute allograft rejection.

· AlM: To explore the correlation of center retinal thickness and axial length in non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( DR) .
· METHODS:A total of 80 cases ( 155 eyes ) of non-proliferative DR patients were divided into three groups according to the axial length, 22~24mm of 27 cases (51 eyes) were normal group, 24 ~26mm of 28 cases ( 55 eyes) were long axis group, >26mm of 25 cases ( 49 eyes) were super long axis group.The center retinal thickness and ocular axial length of three groups were measured and the correlation of center retinal thickness and axial length were analyzed.
· RESULTS:Among the inner ring and outer ring, the center retinal thickness of upper and lower, bitamporal and nasal side of super long axis group was thicker than that in normal group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05 ); Among the inner ring and outer ring, the center retinal thickness of upper and lower, bitamporal and nasal side of super long axis group was thicker than that in long axis group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); The DR central macular of retinal thickness was no correlation of the axial length ( P >0.05 ), but retinal thickness get thinning with increased of axial length on the inner ring and outer ring area, showed a negative correlation ( rinner ring =-0.63, router ring=-0.67, P<0.05).
·CONCLUSlON:Center retinal thickness and ocular axial length in non -proliferative DR patients, and center retinal thickness of super long axis patients are thinning obviously.

This study aimed to investigate the drug susceptibility of wild-type and mutant avian influenza A (H7N9) virus neuraminidase (NA) to oseltamivir and zanamivir. Codon optimized DNA of H7N9 (A/ Hangzhou/1/2013) NA was synthesized and constructed into the pcDNA3.1/His vector (NA(H7N9-WT)). Mutant NA(H7N9-H274Y) and NA(H7N9-R292K) plasmids were constructed by directed mutagenesis PCR using NA(H7N9-WT) plasmid as the template followed by sequencing. NA plasmids were transfected into 293T cells and cell lysates containing NAs were collected 48 h post-transfection. Wild-type and mutant NAs were analyzed by Western blotting and their activities were tested by the 4-MUNANA-based assay. All three NAs were expressed and enzymatic activities were confirmed. The effects of oseltamivir and zanamivir on all three NAs were then tested. It showed that the half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50s) of oseltamivir carboxylate on NA(H7N9-WT), NA(H7N9-H274Y) and NA(H7N9-R292K) were 1.6 nM, 15.1 nM, and > 1 000 nM with fold changes of 9 and > 625, respectively. The IC50 values of zanamivir on NA(H7N9-WT), NA(H7N9-H274Y), and NA(H7N9-R292K) were 1.1 nM, 1.4 nM, and 38.0 nM with fold changes of 1.3 and 34, respectively. These results indicated that oseltamivir and zanamivir could significantly inhibit NA(H7N9-WT). NA(H7N9-R292K) showed high-level resistance to both drugs (34-fold and 625-fold) and NA(H7N9-H274Y) was sensitive to both (1.3-fold and 9-fold). These results indicated that both oseltamivir and zanamivir could be used for patients infected with the H7N9 virus. However, when patients carried the H7N9 virus with a NA R292K mutation, other medications would be preferred over oseltamivir or zanamivir.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the role of detecting early change of left ventricular regional myocardial function in the rabbit with type Ⅰ diabetes using omni-directional M-mode echocardiography (OME).MethodsEighty New Zealand rabbits were selected in this study..40 health rabbits were included in the control group,the other 40 with type Ⅰ diabetes were included in the experiment group.The OME was used to measure the peak time of myocardial motion during systole (Ts) and diastole (Td),myocardial velocity gradient during systole (MVGs) and diastole (MVGd) on the left ventricular short axis.These parameters were measured during the first,second,fourth,sixth and eighth week.ResultsOME was able to detect significant changes of Td during the second week,Ts and MVGd during the fourth week,and MVGs during sixth week after modeling ( P ＜0.05 ).ConclusionsOME is an important method to detect early changes of regional myocardial function in the patients with diabetes.

A high Streptolydigin-producing strain Streptomyces lydicus AS 4.2501-L8 with genetic stability was obtained from the original strain S. lydicus AS 4.2501-P28 by mutagenesis with UV and acridine orange, followed by resistance selection. Its yield of Streptolydigin was 177.0 ?g/mL, 96.2% higher than the original strain.

Objective To evaluate the change of renal function in patients with acute stroke by estimate glomerular filtration rate (e-GFR). Methods One hundred patients with acute stroke admitted into hospital from emergency department in 72 h were enrolled. There were 100 patients, with 50 male patients and 50 female patients. Fifty-eight patients were older than 50 years old, and 42 patients were less than 50 years. Blood samples were collected from the next day in hospital to detect the level of creatinine (Cr), then e-GFR was calculated with a simplified method of modification of diet in renal disease. According to the National Kidney Foundation published kidney disease outcome quality initiative (K/DOQI), the renal function of these 100 patients was estimated. The outcome of e-GFR and Cr were compared. The differences of e-GFR in patients with acute stroke were analyzed from the aspects of age and gender. Results 56.0% (56/100) patients were determined as decreased renal function according to the standard of GFR<90 ml/(min · 1.73 m2). 4.0% (4/100) patients were determined as decreased renal function according to the standard of Cr> 124μmol/L. The abnormal rate of e-GFR in patients older than 50 years old was 93.1%(54/58), in patients less than 50 years old was 4.8%(2/42), and there was significantly difference (χ2=77.16, P<0.01). The abnormal rate of e-GFR in male and female had no significantly difference: 54.0%(27/50) vs. 58.0% (29/50), P > 0.05. Conclusions The decreased renal function in patients with acute stroke is common. The detection of e-GFR can more accurately assess the patient′s renal function and provide a basis for individual choice of drugs.
