To construct a library of mouse single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody against ofloxacin using phage display and recombinant antibody technique, specific anti-ofloxacin scFv was screened and 3D structure was homology modeling. Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cell of ofloxacin mAb, and was used to amplify VH and VL gene by RT-PCR using random primer. Then they were linked by a DNA linker encoding (G1y4 Ser) 3 as VH-linker-VL sequence forming scFv by SOE(splicing by overlap extension) PCR. These fragments were inserted into phage T7 after double digestion and transformed with host bacteria BLT5403. 3 ×105 pfu / ml single chain antibody phage libraries were successfully constructed. Four positive phage scFv clones were screened by direct competitive ELISA after four times of enriched procedure in the order of adsorption-elution-amplificatio, 3D structure of specific scFv was homology modeling finally. This research lays a foundation for further massive expression of anti-ofloxacin scFv.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of Shexiang tongxin dripping pills in clinic. METHODS:In retrospective study,the utilization of Shexiang tongxin dripping pills in outpatients and inpatients of our hospital during Jan. 2014-May 2015 was analyzed statistically in terms of gender,age,department,irrational drug use,ADR and DUI,etc. RE-SULTS:There were 719 outpatient prescriptions and 281 inpatient medical orders. The female was more than male with ratio of 1.42:1. Most patients aged 80-89 year-old(35.4%). Shexiang tongxin dripping pills were mostly used in cardiovascular medicine de-partment(760 pieces/copies,76.0%). There were 72 prescriptions/medical orders that did not conform to the indications(7.2%), and 7 prescriptions/medical orders for overdose use(0.7%). No obvious ADR was found. DUI of Shexiang tongxin dripping pills was 1.007. CONCLUSIONS:Although the clinical use of Shexiang tongxin dripping pills in our hospital is basically rational,there still are some nonstandard uses,which should be taken seriously. In order to reduce ADR,the clinical use of Shexiang tongxin dripping pills should be strictly in accordance with the drug instructions and should emphasize the syndrome differentiation based on treatment.

Objective To identify the Banna viruses isolated in northwestern part of Yunnan prov-ince in order to make the difference clear between the isolates and other Banna viruses isolated in other parts of Yunnan. Methods Three isolates of Banna vires isolated in 2005 and 2006 were identified by morpholo-gy, RNA-PAGE profile and molecular biologic method. Nueleotide and amino acid sequences of segment 12 of the 3 isolates were sequenced and analyzed. Results Three Banna viruses were isolated from mosquitoes collected in northwestern part of Yunnan during 2005 and 2006. Electron microscopy study showed that they are spherical with a diameter of 70 nm, no envelope but two layers of eapsid. It was found that the genome of the 3 isolates composes of 12 segments presenting band profile of 6-6 in RNA-PAGE. Nueleotide acid se-quence analysis about segment 12 showed that the identity was 99% between the 3 new isolates, 98% and 90% between the 3 isolates and the strains isolated in other parts of Yunnan, China and Indonesia, respec-tively. Phylogenetie analysis based on segment 12 gene showed that 3 new isolates clnstered in the same branch with the viruses isolated in other parts of Yunnan. The same difference of amino acids was found between Banna viruses isolated in China and Indonesia strains in the analysis of segment 12. Conclusion Banna virus strains were firstly isolated from mosquitoes collected in northwestern part of Yunnan province. Nueleotide acid sequence analysis of the 3 new isolates showed higher identity with strains isolated in other parts of Yunnan.

Nerve growth factor (NGF) promotes neuronal survival and differentiation and stimulates neurite outgrowth. NGF is synthesized as a precursor-proNGF in vivo. In this paper, a pET-proNGF prokaryocyte expression vector was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. The proNGF was expressed in the form of non-active aggregated monomer in E. coli after induction with IPTG. SDS-PAGE revealed the proNGF expression product had a Mr.30.2 kD. Western blotting analysis showed that the protein had good antigenicity. Fusion protein was successfully purified by Ni2+-NTA affinity chromatography and cleaved by Enterokinase and 13.1 mg proNGF was obtained from 100 mL cell culture in a typical experiment. The protein was dialyzed in a redox system containing reduced and oxidized glutathione. RP-HPLC was used to analysis the result of the refolding. The refolded proNGF protein can induce neurite outgrowth of PC12 cells, which indicated that pro-form of NGF we obtained had biological activity.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics of patients with epilepsy caused by focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), and identify the influencing factors for postoperative seizure controls.Methods:Fifty-seven patients with epilepsy caused by FCD admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from July 2019 to November 2023 were chosen; standard preoperative evaluation, surgery, postoperative management and follow-up were performed. A retrospective study of clinical data, imaging and video electroencephalogram (VEEG) data, surgical approaches, pathological findings, and follow-up data was performed; influencing factors for postoperative seizure controls were analyzed.Results:In these 57 patients with epilepsy caused by FCD, 29 were males (50.88%) and 28 were females (49.12%). Onset age was 30.00 (8.00, 74.50) months, and surgery age was 95.00 (50.00, 138.50) months. Focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures (42/57; 73.68%) and epileptic spasms (13/57; 22.81%) were common seizure types. Cranial MRI was positive in 34 patients (59.65%), mainly manifested as abnormal cortical gyri/sulci morphology (17/57; 29.82%). In 43 patients accepted PET-CT, hypometabolic sites were detected in 40 (93.02%), and complete agreement between PET/MRI fusion results and actual lesion sites was noted in 40 (93.02%). FCD type I was noted in 16 patients (28.07%), type II in 39 (68.42%), and type III in 2 (3.51%). By December 2023, 44 (77.19%) had Engel grading I, 4 (7.02%) had grading II, 4 (7.02%) had grading III, and 5 (8.77%) had grading IV. Children with good prognosis (Engel grading I+II) and those with poor prognosis (Engel grading III+IV) showed significant differences in terms of time from first seizure to surgery, positive/negative MRI, and regularity of postoperative ASMs ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizure is the most common seizure type in patients with epilepsy caused by FCD, and abnormal cortical gyri/sulci morphology is the most common MRI manifestation; PET/MRI fusion imaging is superior to PET-CT or MRI in identifying epileptogenic foci. Poor seizure control can be noted in patients with long onset time to surgery, with negative cranial MRI results, or with irregular postoperative ASMs.

Gefitinib is the well-tolerated first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. As it needs analgesics during oncology treatment, particularly in the context of the coronavirus disease, where patients are more susceptible to contract high fever and sore throat.This has increased the likelihood of taking both gefitinib and antipyretic analgesic acetaminophen (APAP). Given that gefitinib and APAP overdose can predispose patients to liver injury or even acute liver failure, there is a risk of severe hepatotoxicity when these two drugs are used concomitantly. However, little is known regarding their safety at therapeutic doses. This study simulated the administration of gefitinib and APAP at clinically relevant doses in an animal model and confirmed that gefitinib in combination with APAP exhibited additional hepatotoxicity. We found that gefitinib plus APAP significantly exacerbated cell death, whereas each drug by itself had little or minor effect on hepatocyte survival. Mechanistically, combination of gefitinib and APAP induces hepatocyte death via the apoptotic pathway obviously. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and DNA damage accumulation are involved in hepatocyte apoptosis. Gefitinib plus APAP also promotes the expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and downregulated the antioxidant factor, Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), by inhibiting p62 expression.Taken together, this study revealed the potential ROS-mediated apoptosis-dependent hepatotoxicity effect of the combination of gefitinib and APAP, in which the p62/Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway participates and plays an important regulatory role.
