This paper is to report the development of a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of s-oleylpropanolamide (OPA) in various tissues of rat (brain, heart, lung, liver, spleen, small intestine, kidney, adipose tissue and muscle), and to assess the applicability of the assay to tissue distribution. OPA was extracted by liquid-liquid extraction method with undecylenoylethanolamide as an internal standard. The concentrations of OPA were determined by LC-MS/MS after a single intragastric dose of 50 mg x kg(-1) at 4 time points (5 rats per group). With multiple reactions monitoring mode (MRM) the limit of quantification (LLOQ) was determined at 1 microg x L(-1). The calibration curve was linear from 1 to 2 x 104 microg x L(-1) (r > or = 0.999 0) for tissue homogenates. Validation parameters such as accuracy, precision and recovery were found to be within the acceptance criteria of the assay validation guidelines. The highest concentration was found in small intestine (the highest time point is 15 min) and heart (the highest time point is 90 min). The assay is rapid, sensitive and applicable to studying tissue distribution of OPA in rats.

Objective:To design and construct the replication-deficient recombinant adenovirus Ad-siCTGF which can silence the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) by RNA interference and verified its function. Methods:A specific sequence, which was verified to be able to silence CTGF gene with high efficiency, was cloned into pSES-HUS vector to produce the shuttle plasmid pSES-siCTGF. The plasmid after Pme Ⅰ linearization was cotransduced with pAdEasy into BJ5183 E.coli strains to construct recombinant vector Ad-siCTGF. After linearization treatment with Pac Ⅰ enzyme digestion Ad-siCTGF was transfected into HEK293 cells via liposome mediation. The recombinant adenovirus was packaged. The titer of the Ad-siCTGF was increased after three times of cross-infection. 4T1 cells were infected with the adenovirus. The silencing efficiency was tested by real-time fluorescence quantitative (RFQ)-PCR and Western blotting.Results:Pac Ⅰ enzyme digestion electrophoresis indentified that recombinant adenovirus was successfully constructed. The titer of the recombinant adenovirus Ad-siCTGF was 2.6×10~(10) pfu/mL after amplification and purification. The CTGF mRNA and protein expression in 4T1 cells were decreased by 36.27% and 31.56%, respectively, compared with the control groups.Conclusion:The recombinant adenovirus which can silence the expression of CTGF was successfully constructed. It laid a good foundation for further investigation of the action mechanism of CTGF in tumor cells.

Objective To identify gene mutations and explore the molecular mechanism of a pedigree with inherited coagulation F Ⅶ deficiency. Methods The levels of F Ⅶ: Ag in the proband and other family members were measured by ELISA assay. The values of PT, F Ⅶ: C and other coagulant parameters were determined by one-stage clotting for laboratory phenotype diagnosis. All the exons,exon-intron boundaries and 5',3' untranslated sequences of F7 gene were amplified by direct sequencing. The detected mutations were further confirmed by sequencing the other stand. The CLC Protein Workbench software was used to analyze the species conservation of the mutated site and the protein secondary structure. 100 healthy individuals were selected to exclude gene polymorphism. Results PT, FⅦ∶C and FⅦ: Ag in the proband and his sister were abnormal, which were 36. 3 s, 5.0%, 40. 7% and 33.4 s,5. 0%, 37.4%, respectively. Both PT and FⅦ∶C in the proband's father, mother, daughter and niece were slightly abnormal, which were 14.9 s, 14. 6 s, 15.5 s, 14. 6 s and 70%, 85%, 59%, 79%, respectively.The heterozygous mutations c. 784T > C and c. 964T > G in exon 8 of F7 gene were found in the proband,resulting in the substitutions of Ser269Pro and Cys329Gly respectively. Compound heterozygous mutations c. 784T > C and c. 964T > G were found in the proband's sister. The proband's mother was heterozygous for c. 784T > C. His father, daughter and niece were heterozygous for c. 964T > G. The protein biological characteristics analysis revealed that the Cys329Gly caused the change of spatial configuration, and Ser269Pro led to the change of amino acid polarity and hydrophobicity. Conclusion Compound heterozygous mutations of Cys329Gly and Ser269 Pro in F7 gene may be the underlying molecule mechanism of FⅦ deficiency in this pedigree.

Objective To investigate the variety and clinical value of the neutrophil volume and cytoplasm-nucleus complex in patients with bacterial infection, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular accident and major surgery operation. Methods 125 patients with bacterial infection, 64 patients with acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular accident, 66 patients after major surgery operation and 69 normal subjects were selected in the study. Total WBC counts (WBC), percentage of neutrophils (NE), and the VCS parameters of neutrephils including the mean channels of cell volume ( NEV), conductivity ( NEC), light scatter(NES) and the SD of these parameters( NEVSD, NECSD, NESSD)were measured by automatic blood cell analyzing instrument. The sensitivity and specificity of the WBC, NE and the VCS parameters of neutrophils were analyzed with receive operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results The levels of NEV, NES and NEVSD in acute bacterial infection group were 154.3 ± 15.2, 135.7 ± 9.9, 26.8 ± 4.2 respectively. The levels of NEV, NES and NEVSD in post major surgery operation group were 147.2±8.9, 141.5 ± 7.7, 23.0 ± 2. 8 respectively. The levels of NEV, NES and NEVSD in acute cardiovascular or cerebruvascular accident group were 144.9 ± 5. 2, 146.0 ±5.0, 19. 6±1.6 respectively. The levels of NEV, NES and NEVSD in healthy control group were 139.7±4.6, 145.0±3.8, 18.2±1.3 respectively. The differences of these parameters among these groups had statistical significance ( F = 17. 650, 38. 122, 54. 604,P<0. 05). And the changes of NEV, NES and NEVSD in bacterial infection group were most obvious among those three groups. The levels of NEV, NES and NEVSD were 146.5±9.5, 144.3 ± 9.4, 21.3 ± 3.3 respectively in stress diseases groups which included acute cardiovascular or cerebrovascular accident group and post major surgery operation group. The differences of these parameters between stress diseases group and acute bacterial infection group had statistical significance ( t = - 2.840, 7.533, - 8.999,P<0.01). The areas under the ROC curve of NEVSD, NEC, NES and NECSD were 0.893, 0. 845, 0. 833 and 0. 849 respectively. The sensitivity of 83. 3% and specificity of 82. 0% could be achieved by selecting the cut-off equal to or greater than 24. 0. Conclusions The variety of neutrophil volume, nuclear size and cytoplasmic granularity changed obviously in patients with acute bacterial infection and common stress diseases, and the variety in acute bacterial infection is more obvious than that in common stress diseases. The sensitivity and specificity of VCS parameters of neutrophils are higher than those of WBC or NE for predicting infection, and the NEVSD is the most predictable indicator of acute bacterial infection.
