Objective To explore the effect of dendrobium nobile polysaccharides on the expression of the WT 1 gene in my-eloid leukemia cells.Methods The CCK8 assay was used to detect the half maximal inhibitory concentration(IC50 )of dendrobium nobile polysaccharides in 3 kinds of leukemia cells;the each kind of leukemia cells were divided into the treatment group and the control group.The cells in the control group maintained the normal growth,while which in the treatment group were given the den-drobium nobile polysaccharides stimulation.The Hoechst33258 staining was used to detect the apoptosis situation of the cells in the two groups.The WT l gene expression level was detected by the real-time PCR and the protein expression levels of WT1,53 and BAX were detect the Western blot.Results Dendrobium nobile polysaccharides had the similar IC50 values in 3 kinds of myeloid leukemia cells,which were (110.71±6.49),(104±48.50),(96.66±5.10)mg/mL respectively,the difference among them had no statistical significance (P >0.05);the apoptosis rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (P <0.05);the expression levels of WT1 gene and protein in the treatment group were decreased compared with the control group(P <0.05), while the expression of P53 and BAX protein was increased.Conclusion Dendrobium nobile polysaccharides can obviously decrease the expression level of WT1 protein,and has a certain killing effect on myeloid leukemia cells.

Objective To investigate the infect capability of recombinant adenovirus mediated PDGF to human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). Methods The PDGF cDNA sequence was amplified with RT-PCR and constructed recombinant adenovirus vector AdPDGF. The human umbilical cord derived MSCs were isolated and cultured. In vitro AdPDGF infected MSCs with various MOI,and determine the efficiency using FACS and fluorescence microscope. Trypan blue and MTT assay was used to detect cell viability and proliferation. ELISA was used to quantify PDGF secretion. Results Recombinant adenovirus AdPDGF was successfully and constructed,in which infection efficiency to MSCs was dose dependent. The highest efficiency was around 87.36 % when MOI =50,at which cell viability and proliferation wasn' t impaired. Cell viability of uninfected,AdPDGF infected and control virus infected MSCs was (97.8 ±2.3) %,(91.9±4.0) % and (92.8±4.0) %,separately. The cell proliferation was (100±16.8) %,(95.9±12.0) % and (87.5±9.7) %,separately. There was no statistic significance among AdPDGF infected,control virus infected and uninfected MSCs. 48 hrs post infection,PDGF secretion can be measured from infectious MSCs' supernatant. The secretion level was (1.53±0.37),(3.03±0.68) and (5.25±0.92) ng/ml,separately,when MOI= 10,30,50. No PDGF can be detected from MSC-GFP and control MSC group. Conclusion Recombinant adenovirus AdPDGF was constructed and can infect human umbilical cord derived MSC at high efficiency.

To determine the diagnostic efficiency of parallel detection of the circulating antigens and antibodies in schistosomiasis, sandwich ELISA and indirect ELISA by using the labeled McAb JPG3 were used to detect the presence of the circulating antigens and the circulating IgG antibodies in serum samples from different kinds of population. and then the sensitivity and specificity of this method of testing as well as the efficiency of the application of this method in heavy endemic area. were determined in comparison with serial test. It was found that the sensitivity and specificity of the parallel test were 97.9% and 92.2% , however, those of the serial test were 76.0% and 99.2% respectively. The positive rates of parallel test and serial test to detect the stool examination-positive for schistosoma eggs in population of the endemic area were 94.6% (35/37) and 67.6% (25/37), while those to detect the stool examination-negative for schitosoma eggs were 69.8% (97/139) and 39.6% (55/139) respectively. It is apparent the parallel test for the detection circulating antigens and antibodies in schistosomiasis shows its high diagnostic efficiency, especially in the heavy endemic area of schitosomiasis.

Objective To understand the characteristics of schistosome cercarial infested water contact of residents in Poyang Lake endemic areas after the operation of Three Gorges Project,so as to provide the evidence for formulating a well-directed con-trol strategy. Methods The residents in two villages in schistosomiasis endemic areas were selected and surveyed for their activi-ties of infested water contacts by questionnaire. Results The proportion and frequency of infested water contacts of residents in Poyang Lake region were high and the average rate of infested water contacts was 69.77%,and 98.96%of infested water contacts occurred in spring,summer and autumn. The main ways of infested water contacts were fishing/swimming/playing for adult men, washing clothes/fishing for adult women,and swimming/playing for school children,respectively. The rates of infested water con-tacts were 73.33%,71.63%and 61.87%in adult men,women and school children,respectively. The frequencies of infested water contacts>1 time/week,1 time/week-1 time/month,and<1 time/month were 62.61%,23.74%and 13.66%respectively. Conclu-sions The infested water contacts mainly occurs in spring,summer and autumn,and the main way of infested water contacts was fishing. Farming and mowing grass,which had been the primary way,now become the secondary way for the adult residents.

Objective To explore the relation of newly genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified lipid-associated genes by euramerican white and coronary heart disease ( CHD ) susceptibility in Chinese Han population. Methods One thousand patients with CHD were enrolled according to WHO criteria. 1000 age-and sex-matched controls were included. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected by Taqman technique. Results Two novel SNPs (rs599839 in SORT1 region and rs16996148 in NCAN region) were significantly associated with CHD risk in Chinese Han population. Compared to AA genotype of rs599839, subjects with AG genotype of rs599839 (OR=0.64, 95%CI=0.48~0.85, P=0.002 and OR=0.67, 95%CI=0.52~0.91, P=0.008, respectively). Compared to GG genotype of rs16996148, subjects with GT genotype were associated with significantly decreased risk of CHD(OR=0.67, 95%CI=0.52~0.91, P=0.008). Two another SNPs (rs12695382 in B4GALT4 region and rs2254287 in B3GALT4 region) were not significantly associated with CHD in Chinese Han population. Conclusions Two novel SNPs (rs599839 and rs16996148) at newly identified lipid-associated loci were significantly associated with CHD susceptibility in Chinese Han population.

Objective To evaluate the value of a CT ribs unfolding algorithm in the diagnosis of rib fracture. Methods Retrospective analysis of 180 patients who suffered chest trauma to do the chest or/and abdominal CT examination, and they also had the surgical or CT referral information. The images of these patients were postprocessed by software(Bone Reading software)and hand-drawn method(multi-point hand-painted CPR method). The rib fracture was observed and the time of reading was record. The diagnosis of fractures was confirmed by follow-up review or surgery. The fractures diagnosis sensitivity of the two post-treatment methods were measured, and the McNemar test was used to compare the difference between the software method and the hand-drawn method. Results Eight patients were excluded due to program failure, 172 cases were included in the study. Of the 172 patients, 63 patients suffered 259 fractures(178 ribs). The sensitivity of the software group was 91.7%(475/518), which was higher than that of the hand-painted group(86.3%, 447/518), the difference was statistically significant(P=0.005). The time of reading were (30.3 ± 3.3)and(173.2 ± 4.5)s, respectively, and the difference had statistically significant(P=0.001). Conclusion Compared to the traditional CPR method, the bone reading technique was used in patients with rib fractures during thoracic CT postprocessing can shorten the reading time and increase the sensitivity of the diagnosis.
