This study analyzed the average annual growth rate of Youth Science Fund projects and the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholar in 11 colleges and universities.Those projects were funded by the department of life science of National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) in 2001- 2009.The average annual growth rate was calculated by Algebraic average method.The results showed that:① the average annual growth rate of Youth Science Fund project rose or dropped with the rise or drop of average annual growth rate of Science Fund Project.② the rapid growth of Youth Science Fund projects may enhance the ability of colleges and universities to gain National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholar.③ the capability of colleges and universities to gain life science project funded by NSFC is not balanced among different regions,and this gap is widening,and ④ to narrow the gap between disciplines,greater effort is needed to train outstanding young scholars.

Objective To explore the association between cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated antigen-4 (CTLA-4) gene polymorphism and susceptibility to ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods The case-control studies from Chinese Biomedical Database, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, Weipu, PubMed, Cochrane Library, OvidSP, Wiley Online Library, Elsevier Science Direct, Springer Link databases for the association of CTLA-4 gene polymorphism with AS. The association strength was assessed with chi-squared test by Stata 12.0 software. Results Seven references of CTLA-4 gene +49A/G (rs231775) polymorphism were enrolled which included 1119 AS patients and 995 controls (healthy subjects or non-AS patients), which showed that there were no statistical difference between AS and control groups under recessive, dominant, co-dominant, additive and allele gene models. Five references of CTLA-4 gene-318C/T (rs5742909) polymorphism were enrolled which included 635 AS patients and 512 controls, which showed that there were no statistical difference between AS and control groups under recessive and additive gene models; however, there were statistical difference between AS and control groups under dominant model [ OR=1.651, 95%CI (1.052, 2.590), P=0.029], co-dominant model [OR=0.621, 95%CI (0.403, 0.957), P=0.031] and allele model [OR=1.587, 95%CI (1.068, 2.357), P=0.022]. Conclusion The meta analysis reveal that CTLA-4 gene rs231775 single nucleotide polymorphism is not associated with the susceptibility to AS; rs5742909 SNP is associated with the susceptibility to AS, which suggests that C→T mutation increases the risk of AS.

Type 2 diabetic patients with the decline of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein excretory rate showed the increment of fasting plasma homocysteine levels, suggesting that the damage of synthetic function of renal tubule may participate in the increment of homocysteine levels.

BACKGROUND:Developmental dislocation of the hip is a type of adult hip dysplasia, including Crowe III and IV type; the type of dislocation of the hip is a severe prognosis. Total hip replacement is clinicaly used for the complex reconstruction of acetabulum. For injured acetabulum, autologous bone graft is effective to reconstruct acetabulum structure, provides good coverage and stability for the acetabulum. Postoperative combination with effective exercise can ensure the recovery of acetabulum function. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the correlation of prosthesis position selection during total hip replacement with clinical short- and middle-term effects of Crowel III and Crowel IV hip dislocation. METHODS:Clinical data of 28 cases of dysplasia and dislocation of the hip joint combined with severe osteoarthritis, who were treated in the Department of Joint Surgery, the Second Affiliated Hospital, Inner Mongolia Medical University from December 2011 to December 2012, were retrospectively analyzed. Al patients received total hip replacement. Implant was biological artificial total hip joint prosthesis. During 2-year folow-up, patients were rechecked by imaging regularly to analyze the imaging changes of acetabulum prosthesis position and bone graft fusion. Harris hip score was used to assess the recovery of hip function. The correlation of prosthesis position and short- and middle-term effects was analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The filing rate of medulary cavity of prosthesis was above 75%. The initial position was fixed and stable. The stability rate of femur-prosthesis interface reached 100%. Compared with pre-replacement, hip function was significantly improved at 6 months post surgery (t=25.55, 9.07;P < 0.05). These results indicate that total hip replacement for Crowel III and Crowel IV hip dislocation can effectively reconstruct the acetabulum, recover hip function, and stabilize prosthesis. Total hip replacement is characterized by good filing rate, high stability of femoral prosthesis interface, and stable initial fixation. The clinical repair effect is strongly associated with the position of the prosthesis.

Objective To explore the effect of light chain gene library slauffling on the affinity of phage engineered antibody against HBsAg. Methods Human antibody light chain gene repertoire generated by RT-PCR from human peripheral blood lymphocyte, was inserted into the phagmid containing Fd gene to construct the phage antibody sublibrary, from which the light chain gene matching the heavy chain Fd gene was screened. Results After three rounds of selection by biopanning, eight clones with higher absorbency than that of original clone at 490nm in ELISA were obtained, indicating that the affinity of chain shuffled phage antibodies (phab) was improved (A_ 490 from 0.43?0.09 to 1.24?0.10). DNA sequencing showed three of the five V_L genes were ? type, and the other two were ? type. Conclusions The phab obtained possesses the specificity of anti-HBsAg property.
