BACKGROUND:Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has widespread effects on dopaminergic neurons, cholinergic neurons and other neurons, which can promote more differentiation of stem cells into neuron-like cells. Hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF1α) can improve tissue and cellviability in the ischemic environment and maintain the local microenvironment of hemangioblasts, which has a more far-ranging physiological role than genes. OBJECTIVE:By constructing double gene recombinant adenovirus vector with BDNF and three points mutant HIF1αto complete the transfection of adenovirus vector into rats mesenchymal stem cells and then study the promoting nerve regeneration and angiogenesis effect of these two genes to spinal cord injury in vitro in constant oxygen conditions. METHODS:(1)We finished the site-directed mutagenesis of 402, 564 and 803 amino acids in human HIF1αgene CDS region by PCR method and we finished recombination of mutation posterior HIF1αgene and BDNF into adenovirus pAdEasy-1 system. Packaging viral and titration determination were also finished. (2)Four kinds of virus fluids and blank group were selected for subsequent experiments. We observed transfection efficiency after transfection of virus into bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and detected the expressions of BDNF and HIF1αmRNA and protein in transfection cells. (3) The protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor, downstream formation vascular gene of HIF1α, in cells in al groups was detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The site-directed mutagenesis of 402, 564 and 803 amino acids to alanine in coding sequence region was successful. The construction of four kinds of adenoviral recombinants was successful and identification of packaging was completed. (2)The level of BDNF gene mRNA and protein expression in experimental and positive control 1 groups was significantly higher than that in the other groups (P<0.05). The level of HIF1αmRNA and protein expression in experimental and positive control 2 groups was significantly higher than that of the other groups (P<0.05). The level of vascular endothelial growth factor protein was also increased in the experimental and positive control 2 groups, which was significantly different from other groups (P<0.05). These findings indicate that the BDNF and HIF1αproteins are largely and efficiently expressed in constant oxygen conditions after single vector double gene adenovirus system transfection into mesenchymal stem cells and high-efficiency expression of vascular endothelial growth factor protein is promoted so that this is a new direction for treatment of spinal cord injury by gene therapy combined with celltransplantation.

The peptidyl-prolyl imide bond cis/trans isomerization of Xaa-Pro motif in the peptide and protein plays an important role to influence their conformation and function. Here, a series of model peptides including phosphorylated and its unphosphorylated counterparts were designed and synthesized. Preliminary 1H NMR experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were used to analyze the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans imide bond isomerization. The data indicated that the side-chain O-phosphorylation of the Xaa residues preceding proline affected evidently the isomerization and thereby regulated the peptides conformations. The charges of the phosphate moiety as well as their steric effects might be the driving force for the conformational changes of these phosphopeptides.Moreover, the obtained most stable multiple configurations and their statistic cis/trans concentration distribution in MD simulation were basically consistent with the NMR experiments, which demonstrated that phosphorylation increased the cis conformation of the peptide and the maximum cis ratio is given while the phosphate group has no negative charge.

Objective To study the adsorption and separation of licorice flavonoid with macroporous resins. Methods Eight types of macroporous resin were selected to compare their performances in absorbing and desorbing licorice flavonoid. The optimal type for licorice flavonoid was decided, meanwhile, its kinetic curve and dynamic absorbing behavior were studied. Results HPD300 resin possessed higher adsorption and desorption capacity. The appropriate adsorption and desorption conditions were as follows:concentration of sample was 2.0 mg/mL, velocity of sample solution was 1.5 BV/h, volume of sample solution was 2 BV (bed volume);velocity of 80%ethanol was taken as eluant 1.5 BV/h, and the volume was 3 BV. Flavonoid content was increased more than 2 times under above conditions. Conclusion HPD300 macroporous resin showed better comprehensive adsorption property. It can be used to purify and separate licorice flavonoid.

Objective To compare the effect and safety of rituximab plus CHOP (R-CHOP) and CHOP regimens for the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with early-stage primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL). Methods A total of 65 patients with PG-DLBCL were retrospectively divided into two groups: 35 patients were treated with R-CHOP regimen, the others with CHOP regimen. NHL international efficacy assessment and WHO criteria were used to assess the therapeutic and the adverse reactions respectively. Results The complete remission (CR) rate of R-CHOP group was 74.3 % (26/35), which was significantly higher than that of CHOP group [50.0 % (15/30), P< 0.05], but the adverse reactions rates of two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the five-year survival rates of two groups had no significant difference (88.6%vs 75.0%, P>0.05). The PFS of R-CHOP group was better than that of CHOP group (94.4 months vs 74.9 months, P< 0.05). Conclusion Compared with CHOP regimen , R-CHOP regimen increases the therapeutic efficacy in patients with PG-DLBCL, and dose not increase the adverse reactions.
