Objective To explore the possibility of heterogenous gene to express in juvenile Schistosoma japonicum and the application of electroporation in transformation of schistosomulae. Methods The plasmids of pEGFP-C1 were introduced into mechanically transformed schsitosomula with electroporation. The presence, transcription and translation of the transgene in electroporated schistosomula were confirmed by PCR, RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis respectively using the genomic DNA, total RNA and protein extracted and isolated from schistosomula cultured in vitro for 48 hours. Meanwhile, localization of EGFP within electroporated schistosomula was performed with confocal laser scanning microscope. Results 760 bp and 276 bp amplified products by PCR and RT-PCR were found coincident with the expected size and expression of EGFP gene in elctroporated schistosomula was confirmed by Western blotting. Fluorescence of EGFP was localized in tegument and subtegument of the electroporated schistosomula with confocal microscopy, especially in the anterior part of the worm. Conclusion The heterogenous gene of EGFP has been successfully introduced into juvenile S. japonicum by electroporation and the expression of transgene was confirmed with molecular and microscopical methods.

As a basic work of illustrating the relationship between the structure and function of a kind of protein purified from Se-enriched Ganoderma lucidum (Se-GL-P), the primary biochemical characters of Se-GL-P were characterized. Molecular mass was determined by two methods of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatogram. Amino acids composition, isoelectric point, peptide mass fingerprint, and the sequence of N terminal amino acids were determined by high performance liquid chromatography, capillary isoelectric focusing method, in-gel digestion, and Edman digestion method respectively. Results showed that, the Mr of Se-GL-P was 36 600, pI=4.01, and the sequence of N-terminal amino acids was DINGGGATLPQKLYLTPDVL. A conclusion was drawn that Se-GL-P was a kind of new selenium-containing protein, and it was one member of DING protein family.

Objective To investigate the biocompatibility of bone marrow stromal cells(BMSCs) of mice in vitro with silk fibroin materials and to explore a novel scaffold material to fabricate tissue-engineered nerve with introduction of BMSCs.Methods BMSCs were typically isolated from other cells by adherence to plastic.The mice-derived bone marrow stromal cells were cultured on the substrate of silk fibroin fibers and the cell attachment and growth during culture was observed by using light and electron microscopy.Mice-derived BMSCs were also cultured in the silk fibroin extract fluid.The cell ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscopy.MTT test was used to detect cell viability in different media for 12,24,48,72 hours and 7 days respectively(the test was repeated 12 times for each group).Flow cytometry was employed to detect BMSCs cell cycle and phenotypes(the test was repeated 3 times).Results BMSCs cells were tightly attached to the silk fibroin fibers and grew along the silk fibroin fibers;some of them enwrapped the silk fibroin fibers and they exhibited either a spherical or spindle shape.The results of transmission electron microscopy,MTT test and flow cytometry analysis showed that there was no significant difference between BMSCs cultured in the silk fibroin extract fluid and those in plain IMDM medium in their morphology,cell viability,proliferation and phenotypes.Conclusion These data indicate that silk fibroin has good biocompatibility with BMSCs and is also beneficial to the survival of BMSCs without exerting any significant cytotoxic effects on their phenotype;thus it's a potential scaffold material to fabricate tissue-engineered nerve with introduction of BMSCs.

Objective: To evaluate mid-term outcomes for the application of homograft valve conduits in right ventricular outlfow reconstruction in patients with congenital heart disease. Methods: We retrospectively studied 122 patients who received right ventricular outlfow reconstruction by homograft valve conduits application in our hospital from 2007-10 to 2014-07. The patients were divided into different sets of groups, by surgical procedure: Ross group,n=38 and Non-Ross group,n=84; by median age: ≤6 years group,n=61 and >6 years group, n=61; by the type of valve conduits: Aortic homograft group,n=21 and Pulmonary homograft group,n=101; by the diameter of conduits: ≤19 mm group,n=31 and >19 mm group,n=91. The relationships between pre-operative conditions, different types of conduits and diameters to the prognosis were analyzed; the post-operative death, re-operation, free homograft valve conduits failure rates were followed-up in all patients. Results: The average follow-up time was (35.4 ± 22.2) months and 2/122 (1.6%) patients died during that period, the overall free conduits failure rates at 1, 5 and 7 years post-operation were 94.2%, 81.2% and 75.4% respectively. The free conduits failure rates in Pulmonary homograft group at 1, 5, 7 years post-operation were 96.2%, 86.1%,79.9% and in Aortic homograft group were 80.0%, 59.7%, 59.7% respectively,P=0.011; in Ross group were 96.4%, 89.0%, 89.0% and in Non-Ross group were 91.3%, 78.3%, 67.1% respectively,P=0.045. While the age, conduits diameter, cyanosis and re-operation had no statistical meaning to free conduits failure rates, allP>0.05. Conclusion: Application of homograft valve conduits had good mid-term outcomes in right ventricular outflow reconstruction in patients with congenital heart disease, while the long-term effects should be further emphasized in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical manifestations of infant cytomegalovirus infection in different age. MethodThe clinical data of 237 infants who suffered from cytomegalovirus infection was analyzed retrospectively and divided into three groups: 0-3 months old (77 cases,group A) ,4-6 months old ( 65 cases , group B ) , 7-12 months old ( 95 cases , group C ). ResultsThe incidence of respiratory infection was the highest among all infectious organs in three groups, the numbers of patients who had wheeze in group A was less than that in the other two groups[24.7%(19/77) vs. 61.5% (40/65), 61.1%( 58/95 )](P < 0.01 ).The incidence of jaundice decreased gradually as the babies grew up[23.4%( 18/77 )→7.7%(5/65 )→1.1%( 1/95 )](P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in diarrhoea and bleeding among three groups (P>0.05 ). The proportion of alanine aminotransferase], aspartate amino transferase increasing was similar among three groups, but gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) was different, the proportion of GGT increasing was 77.9% (60/77) in group A which was higher than that in the other two groups[10.8% ( 7/65 ), 2.1% ( 2/95 )].Granulocytopenia in group B was obviously decreased compared with the other two groups (P < 0.05 ), anemia was easily occurred in group C (P < 0.05 ). ConclusionThe injury of cytomegalovirus infection may be related to month old.
