Two stage polymerase chain reaction(restricted fragment length polymorphism was used to study K ras mutations and chemiluminescence immunoassay was used to detect CA19 9 in plasma from patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma, some samples were analyzed by direct seqencing. The results showed 18 (60%) of 30 patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma had K ras mutations in plasma, and 25 (83 3%) of 30 had elevated CA19 9 in plasma. The former was less sensitive than the latter, but the diagnostic rate of combined analysis was 100%. It is concluded that combined analysis of molecular tumor markers and protein tumor marker is more sensitive than protein tumor markers alone, it might overcome Lewis blood type limitation to protein markers.

AIM: DNA vaccines expressing protective domain of surface protective antigen A(spaA)of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae have been relatively ineffective at generating high-titer, long-lasting, neutralizing antibodies in murine models. METHODS: This paper report using a DNA vaccine expressing a fusion of the spaA protein and various elements, such as a secretion leader sequence from the highly expressed human gene encoding α1-antitrypsin (AAT), a highly soluble and stably folded domain from the rat cartilage oligomerization matrix protein (COMP), and three copies of the complement component, C3d3, to enhance the titers of neutralizing spaA-specific antibody. RESULTS: Analysis of titers of the antibody raised in vaccinated mice at different time points indicated that immunizations with the DNA expressing pcDNA3-AAT-COMP-spaAN-3C3d((pcD-ACSC)) had higher titers than pcDNA3-spaA_N(pcD-S) at weeks 4. Furthermore, the immune protective efficacy of the spaA-chimeras was demonstrated by lethal challenge with a virulent homologous strain 1249 against immunized mice. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that using a plasmid vector containing a strong heterologous signal sequence that mediate efficient antigen secretion in vivo and a fused piece of sequence improving antigens solubility, as well as C3d3, genetic adjuvant, could enhance the antibody responses level. This approach might be an efficient way to improve the antibody level of spaA_N DNA vaccination.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Shenling Baizhusan on the treatment of oligoasthenospermia with hyperuricemia (HUA). MethodThirty-two male Kunming (KM) mice were randomly divided into blank group (n=6), model group (n=6), high-dose Shenling Baizhusan group (n=7), low-dose Shenling Baizhusan group (n=7), and febuxostat group (n=6). Except for the blank group, all other groups received intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxazinate suspension (600 mg·kg-1) for 7 days. After modeling, the high-dose Shenling Baizhusan group and the low-dose Shenling Baizhusan group were orally administered with 20.14 g·kg-1 and 10.07 g·kg-1 of Shenling Baizhusan, respectively. The Febuxostat group was orally administered with 0.25 g·kg-1 of Febuxostat, while the blank group and model group were orally administered with the same volume of physiological saline. Oral administration was performed once a day for 14 consecutive days, after which samples were collected. Biochemical methods were used to measure serum uric acid (UA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in testicular tissue. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes in testicular tissue and evaluate the spermatogenesis function. Automated sperm analyzer was used to measure sperm density and motility. Single-cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) was used to assess sperm DNA integrity. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) was used to detect testicular cell apoptosis rate. Western blot analysis was performed to measure the protein expression levels of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1), nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), and Caspase-3 in testicular tissue. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conducted to evaluate the mRNA expression levels of Keap1, Nrf2, and HO-1 in testicular tissue. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed elevated serum UA level (P<0.01), decreased testicular spermatogenesis function, sperm density, and motility (P<0.01), and increased sperm trailing rate and testicular cell apoptosis rate (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high-dose Shenling Baizhusan group showed significant improvements in the above-mentioned indicators (P<0.05, P<0.01). Additionally, the expression levels of Keap1, Bax, and Caspase-3 in testicular tissue were reduced, while the expression levels of Nrf2, HO-1, and Bcl-2 increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). The mRNA level of Keap1 decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), while the mRNA levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionShenling Baizhusan can significantly improve HUA oligoasthenospermia, and its mechanism may be related to the Nrf2/antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway.
