Objective To construct Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Chinese-strain wild type and Lamivudine-resistant variant recombinant baculovirus. Methods 1.2-unit length HBV construct (adr serotype, C genotype) was cloned into the multiple cloning region of the pFastBac Ⅰ vector and then transformed into DH10Bac, in which homologous recombination occurred between the pFastBac vector and the inside bacmid with the help of helper plasmid. So HBV recombinant bacmid was produced and transfected into sf9 cells to generate a Recombinant HBV baculovirus called vAcHBVc. The viral titers were detected by immune plaque assay and TCID 50. Lamivudine resistance mutation (YVDD) was introduced by site-directed mutagenesis using continuous PCR. HBV YVDD recombinant baculovirus (vAcHBVcYVDD) was generated and titered as above. Meanwhile, the recombinant HBV baculovirus containing GFP reporter was constructed for evaluating the efficacy of transfection and titration of virus. Results Recombinant wild and YMDD variant HBV baculovirus were successfully developed and the titer was between 10~6~10~8pfu/ml through plaque assay. Conclusion Different kinds of recombinant HBV baculovirus could be generated rapidly and efficiently with Bac to Bac expression system. The developed recombinant HBV baculovirus could be further used in the study of anti-viral resistances.

Based on the anatomic data and fractal theory, the vascular tree model of forearms similar to actual vessel was established, and then the 3D heat transfer model of forearms based on the actual vessel anatomic structure was created. The model was analyzed and investigated with finite element method to explore the influential factors such as dimensional distribution of vessel, blood perfusion rate and external heat source for the 3D temperature field. The simulation results were consistent with the experimental data derived from Pennes. The model well reflects the regional difference of tissue temperature caused by the irregular distribution of vessel, and provides temperature guidance for tumor thermotherapy.

Nitric oxide (NO) plays an important pathophysiological role in osteoarthritis and cartilage metabolism. To determine the relationship between NO and the synthesis of type II collagen in cartilage, we measured levels of type II collagen by ELISA and procollagen (II) mRNA by RT-PCR in cultured lapine chondrocytes that were incubated with some kinds of reagents. 0.2mM sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a NO donor) can release high levels of NO, decreasing type II collagen, suppressing the expression of procollagen (II) mRNA (COL2A1).At the same time, chondrocytes showed a large increase in NO synthesis, a decrease in type II collagen and COL2A1 mRNA in response to 100u/ml IL-1. When 1mg/ml N-nitro-L-arginine methyl easter (NAME, an inhibitor of NO synthase) was mixed with IL-1, NO production was inhibited, the amounts of type II collagen recovered partially and COL2A1 mRNA recovered completely.These data indicate NO can inhibit type II collagen synthesis as IL-1 downstream molecule by suppressing procollagen (II) mRNA.
