Objective To investigate the spatio-temporal distribution characteristics of syphilis epidemic in Main-land China in 2005-2011.Methods Geographic information system was established based on the data of syphilis epidemic and demographic information from online reporting system of 3 1 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions of Mainland China from 2005 to 2011,global indication of spatial autocorrelation(GISA),local indication of spatial autocorrelation (LISA),and spatial-temporal cluster analysis were conducted by GeoDa 0.95i and SaTScan 9.1 .1 software,high risk areas of spatial-temporal distribution of syphilis were determined.Results The number of syphilis in Mainland China in 2005-2011 were 1 841 217 cases,annual incidence was 20.07/100 000,suggesting a sign of obvious cluster distribution.Except 2011,GISA coefficient Moran’s I were statistically different.Accord-ing to LISA analysis,Jiangsu,Shanghai,Zhejiang and Fujian lay in high-high region in 2005-2009,Chongqing lay in high-low region in 2006-2008,and in 2011,no area was found in high-high region.Spatio-temporal cluster anal-ysis showed that the most likely cluster was in Shanghai and Zhejiang (2009-2011);the secondary cluster distribu-ted in five areas,including Guangdong,Guangxi and Hainan (2009-2011),Xinjiang (2009-2011),Liaoning and Jilin (2010-2011),Gansu,Ningxia,Shaanxi,Sichuan,Chongqing,Shanxi and Inner Mongolia (2011),Beijing and Tianjin (2008-2010).Conclusion Significant spatio-temporal cluster pattern is found for the distribution of syphilis in mainland China,which can be meaningful for pertinent control.

Cell aging,the fundamental unit of biological decay,is responsible for senile disease. With the development of research,the mechanism of cell aging has been investigated in molecular level. Two hypotheses have emerged to explain the reason that lamins contribute to cell aging,one is the mechanical stress hypothesis,the other is the gene expression hypothesis. The latter proposes that mutations in A-type lamins lead to abnormal tissue-specific gene regulation. In recent years,the molecular mechanisms of lamins causing cell aging primarily include gene mutation,Zmpste24 mutation,CAAX mutation and other mutations. These mutations in the gene that encode nuclear lamins cause nuclear lamina damage directly and result in cell aging,which have been associated with several degenerative disorders.

Objective: To investigate the optimal gene transfer protocols of hematopoietic cells mediated by retrovirus. Methods: Murine bone marrow cells were infected by co-culture with murine bone marrow stromal cell line TC-1 or retro-virus packaging cells or retrovirus supernatant. Human mdr-1 and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) were used as report genes. Results: Stromal cells could greatly increase the gene transfer efficiency when compared with that of supernatant transfection. Transduction efficiency was highest when infected BM cells were co-cultured with virus producer cells. Conculsion: It may be clinically feasible in gene therapy to perform retroviral transduction by co-culture of target cells with stromal cells or cell lines.

Objective To observe the significance of tumor abnormal protein (TAP)in the therapeutic monitoring of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Peripheral blood from 30 NSCLC patients were collected to make smears at the moment of pre-treatment,half a month,one month,3 months and 6 months after therapy.TAP was detected by coacervation method.The maximum area of condense was applied to estimate the level of TAP.Thirty healthy subj ects were chose as con-trol group.Results The positive rate of TAP in NSCLC patients was 86.67%,and 3.33% of healthy subjects were positive in TAP.The difference was statistically significant (χ2=140.3,P<0.01).The condense area of TAP in patients withⅢ~Ⅳ stage of NSCLC [411(89,562)mm2]was significantly higher than those withⅠ~Ⅱ stage NSCLC [267(31,407)mm2]. The condense areas in both of two groups went down after treatment.A significant difference of condense area appeared inⅠ~Ⅱ stage of NSCLC patients a month after therapy as well as Ⅲ~Ⅳ stage of NSCLC patients half a month after treat-ment.The condense areas went to their lowest level 3 months after therapy.ForⅠ~Ⅱ stage patients,the condense area fell to 21% compared to that before treatment,but for patients withⅢ~Ⅳ stage of NSCLC,37% of pre-treatment condense ar-ea were detected.TheⅠ~Ⅱ stage of NSCLC patients had a greater decrease in condense area of TAP than theⅢ~Ⅳ stage patients by 3 months after treatment (χ2=6.22,P<0.05).Conclusion Detection of TAP in peripheral blood had a high sensitivity for NSCLC,and is able to monitoring the treatment effect.

Objective To approach the feasibility of transfecting the DNA plasmid of encoding red fluorescent protein directly into the nucleus of rabbit primary bone marrow stromal cell with recently developed nucleofection technique. Methods Rabbit primary bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were harvested by means of density gradient centrifugation following a thighbone puncture. The primary BMSCs were cultured and either transfected to pDsRed1-N1 by nucleofectorTM technique (as DsRed group) or left uninfected(as control group) in vitro. The cellular viability, adhesive rate, the growth curves and the efficiency of transfection of both DsRed and control groups were analyzed. Result DsRed were successfully expressed at 48h after nucleofection. Similar morphology evolvement, adhesive rates and growth curves were obtained from the two groups. The positive DsRed expression enhanced gradually alone with a prolonged culturing time, and reached its peak value at the 10th day after marked, with about 54.2% of DsRed-positive cells in the total BMSCs. The DsRed did not attenuate even until 1 month following the mark. Conclusion Neuclofection of pDsRed1-N1 showed no significant effect on the proliferation of rabbit BMSCs. DsRed worked efficiently for the purpose of stable gene marking of rabbit BMSCs, and nucleofection is an efficient method for transferring genes into primary rabbit BMSCs.

Objective To study prognosis and grading of somatosensory evoked potential(SEP)in long-term unconscious patients after severe traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods Five prognostic factors including age,sex,injury mechanism,history of temporal craniotomy and SEP grading were selected and analyzed in 47 patients after severe TBI with a duration of unconsciousness longer than two weeks.The prognosis was judged by Glasgow Outcome Scale.Results Prognosis was closely associated with SEP grading(P=0.024).The accuracy of SEP in assessing the prognosis was 91.5%.About 95%-100% of patients with SEP at grade Ⅲ-Ⅲ ended up with severe disability,persistent vegetative state or death.However,43.75% of patients with SEP at grade Ⅰ had good prognoses.Conclusions The SEP grading can objectively and accurately evaluate patients' prognosis and demonstrate the brain function.

Objective To determine the Golgi dispersal in radiation damaged cells and the protective effect of vanillin derivatives.Methods Immunofluorescence, cell cycle analysis of flow-cytometry,Western blot,and clone formation were used.Results Immunofluorescence observation showed that the Golgi dispersal caused by 2 Gy 60 Coγ-ray was significantly increased in a dose-dependent manner in the range of 4-10 Gy as was demonstrated by the fact that the Golgi area was significantly increased. When the irradiated cells were treated with the radioprotective agent VND3207, a vanillin derivative,the Golgi dispersal induced by radiation was significantly reduced.The radiation-induced Golgi dispersal was also displayed in a pattern of time-course after irradiation in the HeLa cells, and persisted at least to 36 h post-irradiation. Cell cycle test results indicated that the Golgi dispersal was not associated with the G2/M arrest triggered by radiation-induced DNA damage response.VND3207 could promote cell survival by plate colony formation assay.Conclusion The Golgi dispersal can be caused byγ-ray irradiation in a dose-and time-dependent manner, and VND3207 can provide a good protection against radiation injury associated with inhibited Golgi dispersal.
