The diagnosis of myocardial damage in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is mainly based on clinical symptoms,physical examinations and electrocardiographic abnormality,echocardiographic changes,and myocardial enzymologic diversity in general.In recent years,it has been suggested that cardiac troponin I possesses high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of myocardial damage.Lupus myocardial damage is diagnosed definitively depending on endomyocardial biopsy.Its treatment has been empirical,and hormone combined with immunodepressive is routine treatment.According to pathogenetic condition,there are still several therapies such as intravenous immunoglobulin therapy,blood purification and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation,extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,and so on.Most often,myocardial dysfunction in SLE is of subclinical progression,and that early diagnosis and prompt treatment may play an important role in relieving patients' condition,raising quality of life and improving prognosis.

Objective To investigate the expression of transforming growth factor-?(TGF-?) in the villus and deciduas of different outcomes after administration with mifepristone and misoprostol in the termination of early pregnancy. Methods From May 2004 to March 2005,50 women who were comfirmed early pregnancy and requested termination of pregnancy in the outpatient department were recruited.Patients with medical abortion were divided into two groups according to the final outcomes: group of complete abortion(n=15) and group of incomplete abortion((n=)15).Another 20 patients with surgical abortion were served as control.The villus and deciduas were collected at the third day of medical abortion,whereas the same was done at the day of surgical abortion.The expression of TGF-? in villus and deciduas of the three groups were measured by immunohistochemical method. Results The age,gestational age,diameter of gestational sac and levels of serum E_(2),P and ?-HCG before abortion were similar in these groups.Compared with the other two groups,the expressions of TGF-? in the villus and deciduas in the group of complete abortion were significantly decreased(P

Objective To clone the coding dense granules protein 8(GRA8) from Toxoplasma gondii RH isolate for the potential use in the development of DNA vaccination. Methods Amplifing gene fragment coding GRA8 from the genomic DNA of Toxoplasma gondii RH isolate by means of ploymerase chain reaction (PCR), the gene is inserted into cloning vector pUC-19 digesting with restrictive enzymes and linking react ions. The positive colon is screed on LB plates containing ampicilline and IPTG, Xgal identified by blue-white and restrictive enzyme digestion. The inserted GR A8 gene was recombined with pcDNA3.1(+) eukaryotic expression vector by digestion with restrictive enzyme and linking reactions. The positive coloe is screene d o n LB plates containing ampicillin and identified by restrictive enzymes and link ing reactions. Results The GRA8 gene with about 804 base is specifically amplified from genomic DNA of Toxoplasma GRA8/RH and pcDNA3.1(+)-GRA8 recombinant is successfull y constructed. The sequencing results showed that GRA8 gene of isolate RH and R H from genebank shares quite high homology. Conclusion The gene encoding GRA8 is amplified from genomic DNA of Toxoplasma gene isolate GRA8/RH and pcDNA3.1 (+)-GRA8 recombinant is successfully constructed.

Peking University Shenzhen Hospital launched a reform to outsource its logistic support service to overcome the setbacks of overstaffing,poor service and high costs with the existing logistic departments since its opening.Practice of a decade has raised the quality of its logistic support system and lowered service costs.Furthermore,the reform has optimized the hospital's human resource structure,and improved performance of the hospital staff,paving the way for better social benefits of the hospital.
