2-(Dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate and sodium monochloroacetate were employed to synthesize [2-(Methacryloyloxy)ethyl] dimethyl ammonium acetate (CBMA) functional monomer.CBMA was grafted on the surface of silica by surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) to obtain silica-CBMA hydrophilic interaction stationary phase.Three silica-CBMA stationary phases with different grafted density of CBMA monomer were synthesized in SI-ATRP progress by changing the concentration of CBMA under the same conditions.The ability to separate organic acid compounds of the synthesized silica-CBMA stationary phases was evaluated under different conditions, including effects of pH value, salt concentration and content of water of mobile phase on retention of solutes.The results showed that the stationary phases could effectively separate organic acid compounds in HILIC mode, which followed a mixed mode of chromatography of ion exchange and hydrophilic interaction.The retention of solutes decreased with the increases of salt concentration of mobile phase, which consistent with the characteristics of ion exchange;the pH value of mobile phase had significant influence on ionization of the stationary phase and solutes, i.e., the retention of solutes increased as the increasing of pH value of mobile phase.However, the retention of solutes decreased with the increasing of the content of water in mobile phase, which was the typical characteristic of HILIC.The method of hydrophilic interaction chromatography combined with silica-CBMA stationary phases could conveniently determinate the content of vitamin C and rutin in rutin tablets, providing a new method for the separation and determination of strong polar samples.

Objective To analyze the practicality of current diagnostic criteria of invasive fungal infection (IFI) in patients with hematologic diseases/malignant tumors,so as to enhance the recognition of characteristics of pulmonary IFI after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).Methods The clinical features of 51 cases with IFI after allo-HSCT were analyzed retrospectively.Results Pulmonary IFI accounted for 42.1% (51/121) of the whole infectious pneumonia diagnosed among the patients admitted during the study.One (2.0%) case was proven diagnosis ; 24 (47.1%) were probable diagnosis and 26(51.0%) were possible diagnosis.The using of immuno-suppressors and corticosteroids,and the presence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) were the main host factors.The patients with two or more host factors simultaneously accounted for 66.7% (34/51) of all pulmonary IFI patients.Totally 94.1% (48/51) of the patients with pulmonary IFI presented nodules and/or patches as the main features in high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scanning.The positive rates of fungal antigen detection were 58.6% for G test and 33.3% for GM test,which were relatively high.Twenty patients (39.2%) showed decrease of arterial partial pressure of oxygen and hypoxia in blood-gas analysis.Conclusions For the diagnosis of pulmonary IFI post allo-HSCT,the administration of immuno-suppressors and corticosteroids,and the presence of GVHD were the main host factors.Nodules and/or patches were the main features in HRCT image.Fungus antigen detection is the main tool to support clinical diagnosis.

Innate lymphoid cell is a type of newly discovered innate immune cell , which can function as adaptive T cells . Based on the transcription factors and the expression of effector cytokines , innate lymphoid cells can be categorized into three sub-groups:ILC1, ILC2 and ILC3.The inflammatory factors these produced by ILC play an important role in the development of inflamma -tory bowel disease (IBD), but ILC3 can secrete IL-22, which promotes the restoration of intestinal epithelial cells .Exploring the func-tion of ILC has a great significance in the treatments of IBD .This article reviews their phenotype , function and also relationship with IBD.

In order to evaluate the effect of mitofusin-2 gene (mfn2) on proliferation and chemotherapy sensitivity of human breast carcinoma cell line MCF-7 in vitro, pEGFPmfn2 plasmid carrying full length of mitofusin-2 gene was transfected, by using sofast, into MCF-7 cells. Mitofusin-2 gene expression in MCF-7 cells transfected by sofast after 48 h was detected by PCR and Western blotting, and the stable expression of GFP protein in MCF-7 cells by Western blot analysis. The proliferation of MCF-7 cells was assayed by MTT and cell counting. By using PI method, the effects of mfn2 on the cell cycle distribution of MCF-7 were measured. Annexin-V/PI double labeling method was employed to detect the changes in apoptosis induced by chemotherapeutics before and after transfection. The results showed that the MCF-7 cells transfected with mfn2 gene could stably and highly express GFP protein. MTT assay revealed that after transfection of mfn2 cDNA, the proliferation of MCF-7 cells was significantly inhibited. DNA histogram showed that cells arrested in S phase, and the percentage of S phase cells was 42.7, 17.2 and 19.6 in mfn2 cDNA transfection group, blank plasmid transfection group and blank control group, respectively (P<0.05). The apoptosis ratio of the cells transfected with mfn2 gene was increased from 3.56% to 15.95%, that of the cells treated with camptothecin (CAMP) followed by mfn2 gene transfection was 69.6%, and that in blank plasmid transfection group and blank control group was 31.0% and 23.4% respectively (P<0.05). It was suggested that transfection of mfn2 gene could significantly inhibit the proliferation of MCF-7 cells and promote their sensitivity to CAMP with a synergic effect.

Objective:To observe the effect of Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)combined with functional training in improving clinical symptoms and balance function in patients with meniscus injury. Methods:A total of 93 patients with grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ meniscus injury were randomly divided into a functional training group,a Tuina group,and a combination group,with 31 cases in each group.The Tuina group received Tuina manipulation.The functional training group underwent functional training under the supervision of physicians.The combination group received Tuina manipulation in addition to the functional training.The treatment course of all three groups was 8 weeks.The clinical symptoms were observed before the intervention and after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions,and the changes in knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score(KOOS)and Y-balance test(YBT)were compared. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the total response rate among the three groups after treatment(P>0.05).The total and subscale KOOS in the three groups were significantly higher than those before treatment after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the total KOOS between the combination group and the functional training group after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05);there was a statistically significant difference in the score of daily living ability and sports and recreation function between the two groups after 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05).The YBT balance coefficients of the affected and non-affected knees of the three groups were significantly improved after 4 and 8 weeks of interventions(P<0.05),and there was no statistically significant difference among the groups(P>0.05). Conclusion:Tuina,functional training,and their combination can improve clinical symptoms and balance function in patients with grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ meniscus injury.Tuina combined with functional training is significantly effective in improving daily living ability and sports and recreation function.
