Objective To study the double restriction fluorescent labeling (DRFL) method for fluorescent labeling of trace DNA samples and its effect in enhancing the pathogen detection sensitivity of microarray assays. Method SARS-CoV RNA samples were reversely transcribed and then further amplified with the restriction display (RD)-PCR and fluorescently labeled by conventional restriction labeling directly with Cy-universal primer and the novel double labeling with Cy-universal primer and CydNTP. The labeled samples were applied to the microarray with the viral probes, processed and analyzed. Results Compared with the conventional method, DRFL labeling resulted in 3. 5835 times higher fluorescent intensity of all the SARS probes on average, even though increased fluorescent intensities for different probes varied considerably. Conclusion Signal to noise ratio can be enhanced by the DRFL method which improves the sensitivity of microarray technology in trace pathogen detections.

Objective Based on the age of big data, the treatment mechanisms of Qishen-Yiqi(QSYQ) for myocardial infarction was focused. Methods All the data stemmed from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). For ensuring the efficacy genetic molecular, differentially expressed genes were discobered by Qlucore Omics Explorer (QOE). And then gene set enrichment analysis was performed by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery online Gene Annotation system(DAVID) for showing the genes functions during bioprocess. In the end, the predicted genes and proteins interactions networks were demonstrated by Gene/protein interaction database (STRING). Results The main biological process involved up regulating the expression of some specil genes such as NFIL3, ARNTL, DBP, FGD4 and nuclear receptor genes like NR1D1, NR1D2 while using QSYQ treatment. In such case, BHLHE40/41 was regulated. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine, QSYQ, could influence the expression of genes of cytothesis, inflammatory and enzymatic activity as its effect of the molecular mechanism, in order to treat and cure the myocarditis infarction.

Objective To explore the effects of cotransplantation with osteoblasts on hematopoietic reconstitution in mice after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). Methods The typical model of syngeneic BMT was established. 18 Balb/c mice were used to prepare the bone marrow nuclear cells and osteoblasts for BMT. The 42 Balb/c mice were randomly divided into 3 group:normal group (6 mice, without any treatment), the single BMT group ( 18 mice, given 2 × 106 bone marrow nuclear cells/each mouse) and the cotransplantation group of HSC with osteoblaats (18 mice,given 2 × 106 bone marrow nuclear cells and osteoblasts/each mouse). The following factors were measured on day 7, 14, 21 after BMT: peripheral blood cells, bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNC), the percentage of CD34+ cells in BMMNC (assayed by flow cytometry), the hematopoietic tissue changes (detected by HPIAS-1000 image analysis system) and micro vascular density (MVD) of bone marrow tissue (with immunohistochemistry). Results The levels of periphral WBC, RBC, PLT, BMMNC in the contransplantation group were higher than those in the single BMT group (P<0. 01 or P<0. 05). In the contransplantation group, the percentage of CD34+ cells in BMMNC, the hematopoietic tissue area and the MVD of bone marrow were also higher than the single BMT group on the 7th, 14th, 21st day after BMT(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusion Cotransplantation with osteoblasts could significantly promote hematopoietic reconstruction in mice after BMT. Cotransplantation may represent a promising means of achieving higher engraftment rate after BMT.

Objective To evaluate the changes of morphology, hemodynamics and endothelial function of the dorsal artery of foot in patients with early-stage type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM) by high-resolution ultrasound. Methods The changes of morphology, homodynamics and endothelial function of the dorsal artery of foot were measured in 25 elderly and 35 non-elderly T2DM patients and 35 elderly and 30 non-elderly healthy persons. Results (1) The change percentage of inside diameter of foot dorsal artery under reactive hyperemia situation was obviously reduced in elderly T2DM patients compared with elderly healthy controls [(10.52±2.79)% vs. (15.43±4.69)%, P<0.01] and there was significant difference between non-elderly T2DM versus healthy persons [(12.89±4.68)% vs. (17.97±4.61)%, P<0.01],and it was lower in elderly versus non-elderly T2DM ones (P<0.05). The change percentage of inside diameter of foot dorsal artery wassignificantly lower in elderly T2DM versus healthy subjects after taning nitroglycerin [(12.40± 3.23)% vs. (16.11±5.74)% , P<0.01]. (2) Compared with control groups, the intima-medial thickness (IMT) of dorsal artery of foot was thickened significantly, and the peak reverse velocity (PRV) in early diastole, the velocity in end diastole (EDV) and pulsatility index(PI) were reduced significantly in T2DM groups (P<0.05). The peak systolic velocity (PSV) had no significant differences among all the groups (P>0. 05). (3) In T2DM groups, the PI was correlated positively with the change percentage of inside diameter of dorsal artery of foot under reactive hyperemia situation (r=0.79, P<0.01) and after having taken nitroglycerin (r=0.71, P<0.01), respectively. Conclusions The changes of morphology, hemodynamics and the injuries of endothelial function of the dorsal artery of foot can be detected in patients with early-stage T2DM byhigh-resolution ultrasound, which has clinical significance and applicable value.

Objective In the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML-M2a), the first CCR (continuous complete remission) has been one of the most critical indicators to the prognosis of the patients. Using microarray approaches, gene expression profiles have been studied in patients with different CCR, in order to find out the genes relevant to the progresses of the AML. Methods Bone marrow mononuclear cells were collected and used as different experimental groups respectively. Group A composed of three AML patients with CCR<6 months, while group B composed of three AML patients with CCR>12 months. mRNAs were purified and labeled with Cy3 and Cy5 respectively, which were used to hybridize against the Agilent human 1B 60mer oligonucleotide microarrays. Results In the 20173 genes tested, 21 genes were found expressed differentially between these two groups. Of these differentially expressed genes, 10 genes were up-regulated while 11 genes were down-regulated in group A. Conclusion Through microarray studies, 21 genes including APP were found to be differentially expressed in AML patients whom were treated with standard chemotherapy. Theses genes can be early indicators for the diagnosis as well as prognosis of the refractory AML.

Objective To analyze the complications, treatments and prognosis of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Methods Forty cases of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation performed between Dec. 1999 and Jan. 2010 in our center were retrospectively analyzed. Results Regarding surgical complications, 4 cases had severe hematuria after operation,which needed clinical intervention, including 1 patient receiving catheterization in duodenum to stop bleeding. Two patients were treated with continuous bladder irrigation, and the remaining one received surgical haemostasis because of donor's duodenum and bladder anastomotic artery hemorrhage.Abdominal hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients, including pancreatic hemorrhage in 3 cases and duodenal muscularis hemorrhage in one case. All of them received surgical treatment for hemostasis.Abdominal infection occurred in 8 cases: one died of multiple organ failure, 2 cases were cured after drainage of abscess, 2 cases underwent surgical removal of abscess, and 3 cases were cured after antibiotic therapy. In one case of postoperative anastomotic leakage, pancreas was resected. Four cases of postoperative ileus were cured by continuous clysis with traditional Chinese medicine. Seven cases had pulmonary bacterial infections, including one cases associated with fungal infection. They were cured by the anti-infective treatment. Other complication included poor healing in 5 cases and urinary infection in 2 cases. After combined simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, 10 patients received reoperation because of surgical complications (14 operations). The re-operation rate was 25 %, including 2 patients (4 operations) for hematuria, 4 patients for abdominal hemorrhage, 2 patients (3 operations) for abdominal infection, 1 patient for pancreatic venous thrombosis, 1 patient for anastomotic leakage, and 1 patient for pancreatic fistula. Conclusion Although simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation provides a successful and effective treatment for diabetics with endstage renal disease, surgical complication is still affecting the pancreas and kidney grafts after transplantation.
