Objective To construct human single-chain antibody gene library associated with lung adenocarcinoma, and screen lung adenocarcinoma cell A549-specific antibody. Methods The lymphatic tissue near lung adenocarcinoma was used to construct human single-chain antibody gene library. The specific antibody to lung adenocarcinoma cell A549 was screened from the antibody library. Positive clone bacteria were transformed to E. coli HB2151, and their dissolvability was observed. The soluble scFv was purified by affinity chromatography and its relative molecular mass was determined by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The specificity of scFv to human lung adenocarcinoma cells was identified with ELISA. Results The phage antibody library of 4.6?107 was constructed successfully. Single-chain antibody of human lung adenocarcinoma was enriched. The ratio of yield was increased gradually, 181 times higher after 5 rounds of panning than after the first round of panning. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting results showed soluble scFv' molecular mass was about 30 000. ELISA showed dissolved antibody had high specificity to bind A549 cells, not MDA-MB-435. Conclusion The single-chain antibody gene library of human lung adenocarcinoma was constructed successfully, and specific antibodies to lung adenocarcinoma were screened, providing the basis for single-chain antibody radionuclide imaging and treatment.

BACKGROUND: Intramyocardial transplantation of autologous umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells for repair of myocardial tissue damage is paid increasing attention in the cardiovascular field. OBJECTIVE: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured. Passage 2 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells were treated with various concentratins of 5-azacytidine (2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol/L) for 24 hours . After removal of 5-azacytidine, cells were cultured for another 4 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Before 5-azacytidine treatment, filament-like structures or particles were not observed in the cells, but the amount of cytoplasm was less and uniform, nuclear/cytoplasm ratio was high, cells exhibited typical fusiform appearance and grew in a swirl-like manner, and nucleolus was obvious. After treatment with 5-azacytidine for 24 hours, some cells died in each group, and typical fusiform appearance turned into stick-like or column-like appearance, especial y in the 40 and 80 μmol/L 5-azacytidine groups. Reverse transcription-PCR results showed that atrial natriuretic peptide and α-skeletal actin gene expression levels were detected on human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells after treatment with 2.5 or 40 μmol/L 5-azacytidine for 4 weeks or with 5, 10, 20 μmol/L 5-azacytidine for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks. These findings suggest that 5-azacytidine-induced human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells express the specific gene of myocardiocytes.

PurposeTo investigate the independent risk factors of refractory hypertension for effective screening and treatment.Materials and Methods 142 patients with refractory hypertension underwent renal angiography, morbidity of renal artery stenosis (RAS) and angiography results were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Logistic regression.Results Thirty-eight cases of RAS were identiifed with incidence of 26.8%. Univariate analysis indicated that diabetes, peripheral artery disease and coronary heart disease were the predictor for RAS (P<0.05 orP<0.01). Multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that peripheral artery disease (OR 5.011, 95%CI 2.17-8.93,P<0.001) was independent risk factors for RAS. Diabetes and coronary heart disease were not independent risk factors.Conclusion Peripheral artery disease is independent risk factor for RAS among patients with refractory hypertension, which can serve as a screening index of renal angiography or renal angioplasty and stenting for RAS.

[Objective] To compare the effects of Radix Astragali (RA) and triperygium glucosides (TG) on glomerular mesangial cells (GMC) proliferation and interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion. [Methods] GMC were cultured with in-vitro cell culture technology. Serum containing RA and serum containing TG were prepared with serum pharmacological methods. GMC proliferation was detected by methylthiazolyltetrazolium (MTT) assay and IL-6 level by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to evaluate the effect of low-, moderate- and high-dosages of RA-containing serum and TG-containing serum under the condition of GMC over-proliferation. [ Results] Different dosages of RA-containing serum and TG-containing serum inhibited GMC proliferation and IL-6 secretion in a dose-effect manner, and the inhibitory effect of high- and moderate-dosage TG and high-dosage RA was stronger. [Conclusion] Under the condition of in-vitro GMC over-proliferation, RA has the similar inhibitory effects on GMC proliferation and IL-6 secretion with TG. The combined treatment of RA and TG can reduce the dose of TG and probably has an action in increasing effect and reducing toxicity.
