AIM: To construct a recombinant adenovirus vector which regulated expression of mouse transforming growth factor beta (TGF-?1). METHODS: Total RNA was extracted from Balb/c mice spleen pre-treated with Con A to clone TGF-?1. pTRE-shuttle vector was used as mediator to ligate TGF-?1 gene and the backbone of the replication-incompetent adenoviral vector. The constructed recombinant adenovirus contains tetracycline-responsive element which can regulate the expression of inserted genes. Identifying the desired recombinant adenovirus, it was packaged in HEK 293 cells. Supernatant of high titer adenovirus was collected to detect the TGF-?1 gene expression by ELISA kit. RESULTS: The constructed recombinant adenovirus had been identified by restriction endonucleases cutting, sequencing and PCR. In the supernatant of infected cells, it expressed the mice TGF-?1 in high concentration to 91.16 ng/L. CONCLUSION: The mice TGF-?1 recombinant adenovirus has been built which make a basis for further research and use in gene therapy.

Objective：To observe the inhibitory effects of pr obucol on nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB）-like activity of vascular smooth mus cle cells(VSMCs). Methods:The effects of probucol and H2O2 on NF-κB-like activity of VSMCs were investigated by electrophoretic mobility shift assay(EMSA). Results:NF-κB activation of VSMCs could be induced by H2O2 or new born calf serum(NCS) for 72 h, the gray-measure of the protein bindings measured through computer scanning was 63.9 and 46.6 respe c tively. NF-κB activity of VSMCs stimulated by H2O2 or NCS might be prevent ed by 100 μmol/L probucol, the inhibitory rate was 37.1%, 14.8% respectively. Conclusion:probucol can inhibit NF-κB activity of VSMCs stim ulated by NCS or H2O2. These effects of probucol might help to re duce development of atheroclerosis and restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.

Objective To prepare a gelatin hydrogel crosslinked by genipin and loaded with silver sulfadiazine(AgSD) nanoparticles,and test its in vitro anti-bacterial activities and in vivo wound healing enhancing properties. Methods The suspension of AgSD nanoparticles and coarse powder,hydrogels loaded with AgSD nanoparticles and coarse powder were prepared,respectively, and blank gels were used as control. The diameters of inhibition zone of sensitive bacteria were measured;The biocompatibility to L929 cells was studied by MTT method and relative growth rates of the cells were determined. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC)of 3 sensitive bacteria were tested;DeepⅡdegree scald co-aureus infection mice model was established and the healing index of treatment by drug-loaded hydrogel dressing was calculated within 3 weeks. The collagen deposition was studied after sirius red staining and pathological manifestations were observed after HE staining. Results Compared with AgSD coarse powder,the antibacterial property of AgSD nanoparticles obviously improved in inhibition zone and MIC, MBC experiments. Better biocompatibility and antibacterial property were revealed for AgSD nanoparticles gel group compared with AgSD cream group in MTT assay and inhibition zone studies;Healing index increased significantly since the second week in AgSD nanoparticles gel group compared with staph group,AgSD cream group and AgSD coarse powder gel group in wound-healing experi-ment(P<0.05). Compared with those control groups,nanocrystal gel group had more content of typeⅠcollagen and total collagen, and higher pathology scores(P<0.05). Conclusion AgSD nanocrystal loaded gelatin hydrogel has good antibacterial activity in vitro and high quality healing enhancing property in vivo.

Objective To prepare a silver sulfadiazine(AgSD)-nanocrystal loaded hydrogel with gelatin as the main raw mate-rial,genipin as crosslinker,and test its physicochemical property and drug release characteristics. Methods AgSD-nanocrystal was prepared by ball milling,the particle size and polydispersity index were determined,the solubility was studied by an ultra perfor-mance liquid chromatography(UPLC)method and the microstructure was observed with transmission electron microscope(TEM);drug loaded gelatin hydrogel in different crosslinking degrees were prepared,the dissolution rate was studied in the same way as AgSD-nanocrystal and the possible dissolution mechanism was analyzed by fitting curves;the microstructure was observed by scanning elec-tron microscope(SEM). After 6 weeks,with the same method,all the above mentioned properties of drug loaded hydrogel and AgSD-nanocrystal suspension were determined repeatedly,and at the same time their stability was tested. Results After nanocrystalliza-tion,the polydispersity index of AgSD was 0.211,the mean particle size was about 267.8 nm,the dissolution rate greatly increased within 6 hours compared with that of AgSD bulk powder. There was a negative correlation between dissolution rate and crosslinking de-gree,and the nanoparticle gel's curve was higher than that of the bulk. In terms of stability,AgSD-nanocrystal in hydrogel was almost in the original state in SEM,while those in suspention had an increasing particle size and decreasing dissolution rate. Conclusion The stability and dissolution of the new drug loaded hydrogel are good,and its data can be used as reference for relevant study.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown the bone mineral density of postmenopausal women is closely related to parathyroid hormone. But there are differences in different areas.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the association between BstBⅠ polymorphism of parathyroid hormone gene with bone mineral density in postmenopausal women from Fuzhou area.
METHODS:The bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, trochanter and Ward’s triangle were measured in 150 postmenopausal women by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. The genotype of parathyroid hormone gene was determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The distribution of parathyroid hormone genotypes were BB genotype 68.8%, Bb 24.1%, and bb 7.1%. The B al elic gene frequencies reached 81%, while b was 19%. The distribution fol owed the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (2) Analysis of the relationship between the genotypes and bone mineral density:There was no significant difference in the bone mineral densities of the lumbar spine, femur, neck, trochanter and Ward’s triangle among the three genotypes (P>0.05). BstBⅠ gene polymorphism of parathyroid hormone gene is not correlated to bone mineral density, and there is no enough evidence to support genotype of parathyroid hormone gene as a genetic marker in predicting the risk of developing osteoperosis in Fuzhou postmenopausal women.

Objective:To construct a specific small hairpin RNA (shRNA) expressing vectors against human receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) gene and study its inhibitory effect on the proliferation of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells DU145. Methods:Four RAGE specific oligonucleotides were designed and synthesized. These oligonucleotides were annealed to forill double strand DNA fragments and this fragment was cloned into psi-U6 plasmid. The recombinants were transfected into RAGE-overexpressing sub DU145-2C1 cells. Cellular morphology and transfection efficiency were observed under fluorescence microscope. The inhibitory effect of RAGE shRNA construct on RAGE mRNA and protein expression was examined with semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blotting, respectively. The cellular proliferation was detected with cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Scratch test was used to observe the migration of DU145 cells.Results:RAGE shRNA expression plasmids were successfully constructed and transfected into sub DU145-2C1 cells. It can effectively inhibit the expression of RAGE mRNA (P<0.05). The inhibitory effects of shRNA RAGE-1 (R1) was the most stronger. The RAGE mRNA expression was inhibited by 84% and RAGE protein expression was inhibited by 27%. Compared with negative control, the proliferation potential was significantly decreased in shRNA RAGE-transfected cells. The cell migration capability had no significant changes. Conclusion:RAGE shRNA effectively inhibited the expression of RAGE mRNA and protein and suppressed the proliferation of DU145 cells in vitro.
