After the first recognition occurs between the activated sperm and zona pellucida of the oocyte from the mammalians, ?-1,4-galactosyltransferase I (? 4GalT I) combines the N-GlcNAc terminals by O-ligands on the ZP3 of the zona pellucida, which plays a difunctional role in the fertilization. The G protein signal system on the sperm membrane then is consequently activated by ZP3 via ?4GalT I, contributing to the induction of acrosome reaction. It was proved that in the activation of the G protein system, both the BBXB and BBXXB motifs on the N terminal of the long ? 4GalT I are necessary.

Objective To study the feasibility and necessity of radial artery angiolgraphy in advance on transradial coronary intervention.Methods A total of 682 patients undergoing transradial coronary intervention were divided into two groups by random digits table method.Previous radial artery angiography (pre-RAA) group of 341 cases underwent radial artery angiography;post radial artery angiography (post-RAA) group of 341 cases in the guide wire,catheter in resistance immediately for radial artery angiography.The radial artery imaging characteristics were observed and the radial artery related complications were recorded in two groups.Results The ratio of radial artery spasm in post-RAA group was higher than that in pre-RAA group [11.4％(39/341) vs.6.2％(21/341),P=0.015].The ratio of operation failed in post-RAA group was higher than that in pre-RAA group [3.2％ (11/341) vs.0.6％ (2/341),P =0.014].The radial artery perforation rate and postoperative 1-6 months of radial artery occlusion rate increased significantly in post-RAA group,and there was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Transradial coronary intervention in advance for radial artery angiography therapy can effectively observe the radial artery morphology,reduce the radial artery related complications.

Objective: To make a study of density and affinity of IL-6R in human leukemic cell lines, and discuss the affection of high affinity IL-6R to the targeted treatment of leukemia with IL-6-PE40 fusion protein. Methods: Radial binding assay with scatchard plot and FACS were used to analysis the density and affinity of IL-6R and protein expression of IL-6Rα and β subunits in totally 8 representative human leukemic cell lines. Results: Myelocytie, monocytic and erythrocytic leukemic cell lines U937, HL-60, KG1 and TF1 express high affinity IL-6R, whose average density per cell is 2 502,2 874, 2 319 and 9 329 respectively, however no 125I-IL-6 binding was detected on chronic myelocytic leukemic cell line K562 and lymphoblastic leukemic cell lines such as Raji, CEM and HUT28. These results correlate with those of FACS highly. Conclusion:These observations suggest that acute nonlymphoblastic leukemic cells may be more suitable for targeted treatment with IL-6-PFA0 fusion protein.

AIM: To investigate the function of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) to macroangiopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS: The levels of MMP-3 and uPAR in plasma were determined by ELISA sandwich method in 26 healthy controls and 39 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus including 15 complication-free cases and 24 with macroangiopathy. RESULTS: The plasma level of uPAR but not MMP-3 was higher in patients without macroangiopathy than that in normal controls (P

Compared with distal gastrectomy, pylorus-preserving gastrectomy is less invasive which can decrease incidence of dumping syndrome, diarrhea and body weight lost, cholecystitis and gallstone, reflux gastritis and esophagitis and remnant gastric cancer. Based on new Japanese Gastric Cancer Treatment Guideline and new progression in the world, we give a review mainly basic characteristics, indications, operation details and short- and long-time outcomes after pylorus-preserving gastrectomy.

The key to killing target cells by immunotoxin depends on the specific recognition of antibody to target cell and the cytotoxic effect of toxin. The comparative study of the killing effects of two anti-T immunotoxins, CD5:Ricin and CD5:rRA, on target cells was performed. The elimination rate of immunotoxins was analysed by flow cytometry and MLR. The effect of immunotoxins on the proliferation of hematopoiesis was evaluted by CFU-GM. The results showed that (1) CD5(+) T cells were eliminated and CD25(+) CD3(+) activated T cells were concentration-dependently inhibited by the two immunotoxins in the range of 10(-9) - 10(-11) mol/L; (2) both immunotoxins significantly inhibited the mixed lymphocyte reaction, and the inhibiting effect of CD5:rRA to T cell proliferation was markedly lower than that of CD5:Ricin in the range of 10(-10) - 10(-11) mol/L; (3) the combination of CD5:rRA with 10 mmol/L NH(4)Cl increased the T cell elimination rate; and (4) the two immunotoxins and the combination of NH(4)Cl and CD5:rRA did not suppressed proliferation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors in the range of concentrations with killing effect. It was concluded that T cell and activated T cell could be eliminated effectively by immunotoxins, the proliferation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitor was not inhibited significantly.

Claudin18.2(CLDN18.2)is a tight junction protein that is overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors such as gastrointestinal cancer and oesophageal cancer.It has been identified as a promising target and a potential biomarker to diagnose tumor,evaluate efficacy,and determine patient prognosis.TST001 is a recombinant humanized CLDN18.2 antibody that selectively binds to the extracellular loop of human Claudin18.2.In this study,we constructed a solid target radionuclide zirconium-89(89Zr)labled-TST001 to detect the expression of in the human stomach cancer BGC823CLDN18.2 cell lines.The[89Zr]Zr-des-ferrioxamine(DFO)-TST001 showed high radiochemical purity(RCP,＞99％)and specific activity(24.15±1.34 GBq/μmol),and was stable in 5％human serum albumin,and phosphate buffer saline(＞85％RCP at 96 h).The EC50 values of TST001 and DFO-TST001 were as high as 0.413±0.055 and 0.361±0.058 nM(P＞0.05),respectively.The radiotracer had a significantly higher average standard uptake values in CLDN18.2-positive tumors than in CLDN18.2-negative tumors(1.11±0.02 vs.0.49±0.03,P=0.0016)2 days post injection(p.i.).BGC823CLDN18.2 mice models showed high tumor/muscle ratios 96 h p.i.with[89Zr]Zr-DFO-TST001 was much higher than those of the other imaging groups.Immunohistochemistry results showed that BGC823CLDN18.2 tumors were highly positive(+++)for CLDN18.2,while those in the BGC823 group did not express CLDN18.2(-).The results of ex vivo biodistribution studies showed that there was a higher distribution in the BGC823CLDN18.2 tumor bearing mice(2.05±0.16％ID/g)than BGC823 mice(0.69±0.02％ID/g)and blocking group(0.72±0.02％ID/g).A dosimetry estimation study showed that the effective dose of[89Zr]Zr-DFO-TST001 was 0.0705 mSv/MBq,which is within the range of acceptable doses for nuclear medicine research.Taken together,these re-sults suggest that Good Manufacturing Practices produced by this immuno-positron emission tomog-raphy probe can detect CLDN18.2-overexpressing tumors.
