Objective:To investigate the efficacy of low-dose thyroid hormone treatment and the change in levels of thyroid hormone in patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: 92 children with chronic kidney disease were randomly divided into thyroxine treatment group and control group, with 46 children in each group. All patients received conventional treatment, the treatment group served with additional Levothyroxine of 25 ~ 50?g/d. At least 1 month follow-up was taken to compare the clinical efficacy, RIA detection level of thyroxine. Results: In control group ,urinary protein, urine occult blood, Hb and albumin showed no changes at 1w-4w after therapy, and the treatment group also showed this trend. There were no difference between two groups. However, 1 week after treatment, SCr and BUN began to decline, till 4th week(P

Objective To investigate the relationship of the occurrence of sinusitis with nasal septum devia-tion.Methods 102 patients with nasal septum deviation confirmed by spiral CT and sinus endoscopy were included. The coronal CT images of all cases were observed.The incidence of sinusitis in different type of nasal septum deviation was calculated and the correlation between sinusitis with nasal septum deviation was analyzed.Results Among 102 patients with nasal septum deviation,deviated septum at high position in 71 cases,deviated septum beyond high position in 31 cases.Sinusitis was detected in 67 cases,accounted for 65.6%,of which unilateral involving in 38 cases,bilateral involving in 29 cases.Main lesions in the nasal septum deviation concave side in 46 cases (68.7%),in nasal septum convex side in 12 cases (17.9%).Conclusion Deviated septum is an important factor in onset.Upper septum deviation and deviated concave side more likely arise sinusitis.

In order to investigate the affinity of aptamers to Bacillus anthracis spore, a custom synthesized 78 mer random DNA library was subjected to 15 rounds of selection against spores of vaccine strain A.16R by using SELEX method. The selected aptamers were cloned and sequenced. Macaw 2.05 and DNAsis 2.5 package were employed to analyze the conserved sequences and second structure of the aptamers, respectively. Affinities of aptamers to the spores were visualized by biotin streptavidin horseradish peroxidase system. The results showed that affinities of the aptamers were different. The highest OD at 450nm was 1.2, and the lowest was 0.25. The second structure analysis revealed possible stem loops for binding to the spores. The conserved sequences, AGGGG, CCCCG, GGGTT and ACACT, were found and the aptamers having same conserved sequence demonstrated similar affinity to the spores.

Objective To better understand the pathogenicity and evolution of Yersinia pestis, we carried out the whole genome sequencing of human-avirulent Yersinia pestis strain 91001, which was isolated from a species of rodent-Microtus brandti. Methods We utilized “whole genome shotgun” approach to get the genome sequence of 91001. Based on the finished and annotated genome sequence of 91001, as well as the previously published genome sequences of CO92 and KIM, we performed detailed comparative genomics analysis on their chromosomes and plasmids. Results The genome of 91001 consisted of one chromosome and four plasmids (pPCP1, pCD1, pMT1 and pCRY). The pPCP1 plasmid of 9 609bp was almost identical with its counterparts from reference strains, which possessed 10 CDS. Plasmid pCD1 was found to be a plasmid of the type III secretory apparatus, and its length was 70 159bp. Although its CDS are quite similar to those of the reference plasmids, there were obvious rearrangements which produced certain differences in structure among them. Another plasmid was pMT1, a 106 642bp plasmid, which showed slightly different architecture compared with the reference ones. There was no mutation in virulent-related genes of pMT1 and pMT1 of 91001, which seemed to have retained more fragments of an ancestor plasmid. pCRY was a novel plasmid discovered in this work. It was 21 742bp long and harbored a group of gene encoding type IV secretory system. pCRY seemed to be able to replicate. The length of chromosome of 91001 was 4 595 065bp, and among its 4 037 predicted CDS (coding sequences), 141 were possibly pseudogenes. There were many IS in the chromosome. Due to the rearrangments mediated by IS, the structure of 91001 chromosome showed significant differences compared with CO92 and KIM. According to the results of comparative genomics analysis, we deduced the genetic mechanisms of nitrate reduction, glycerol fermentation, arabinose and milibiose utilization in 91001. Conclusion According to the analysis of plasmids structure, pseudogenes distribution, nitrate reduction negative mechanism, gene comparison and chromosome architecture, we conclude that 91001 and other strains isolated from Microtus brandti and Microtus fuscus evolved from ancestor Y. pestis and then developed into a different lineage. The deletion of large genome fragments from 91001 chromosome and pseuogenes might contribute to its unqiue pathogenicity and host-specificity.

Objective To establish reliable proteomics analysis models for Yersinia pestis and obtain the basic proteomics data of this pathogen. Methods The human-avirulent Y. pestis strain 91001 was cultured as an experimental strain, and the proteins of which were extracted and divided into three parts fractionally according to their solubility. Then three different methods (Shotgun-LC-MS-MS, 1D-LC-MS-MS and 2D-MS) were used to analyze the extracted proteins. The obtained data were compared with the theoretical protein database of strain 91001 so as to identify the expressed protein of Y.pestis strain 91001 in this study. Results 971 proteins were identified by shotgun-LC-MS-MS method, accounting for 23.4% of the predicted proteins of strain 91001 (971/4 143). 915 proteins were identified by 1D-LC-MS-MS method, accounting for 22.1% of the predicted proteins of strain 91001 (915/4 143). However, with 2D-MS only 5.62% of the predicted proteins (233/4 143) were identified. Altogether 1 193 proteins were identified when the results of the 3 methods added together, accounting for 28.7% of all the predicted CDS in 91001. Conclusion The kind and quantity of proteins identified by various proteomics methods differ from each other dramatically, therefore it is necessary to utilize multiple methods to get more reliable protein profiles of Y. pestis.
