1.Total Chemical Synthesis,Assembly of Human Torque Teno Virus Genome
Virologica Sinica 2011;26(3):181-189
Torque teno virus(TTV)is a nonenveloped virus containing a single-stranded,circular DNA genome of approximately 3.8kb.We completely synthesized the 3808 nucleotides of the TTV(SANBAN isolate)genome,which contains a hairpin structure and a GC-rich region.More than 100 overlapping oligonucleotides were chemically synthesized and assembled by polymerise chain assembly reaction(PCA),and the synthesis was completed with splicing by overlap extension(SOEing).This study establishes the methodological basis of the chemical synthesis of a viral genome for use as a live attenuated vaccine or gene therapy vector.

3.Effects of pain on fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: multiple mediating effects of negative emotions and insomnia
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2021;37(2):103-108
Objective:To understand the relationship between pain, negative emotions (anxiety and depression), insomnia and fatigue in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and explore the multiple mediating effects of negative emotions and insomnia on pain and fatigue.Methods:A total of 240 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were selected from Northern Theater General Hospital from October 2018 to January 2019. The general questionnaire, Bristol Rheumatoid Arthritis Fatigue Multi-Dimensional Questionnaire,Visual Analogue Scale,The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Asens Insomnia Scale were used to investigate the demographic data, fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, respectively. SPSS 20.0 was used for correlation analysis, and Mplus 7.0 was used for mediation analysis.Results:The fatigue score of patients with rheumatoid arthritis was (28.88±14.89), which was moderate. The score of Visual Analogue Scale was 4(2-7), the score of insomnia was 7(3-11), the score of anxiety was 5(3-8), the score of depression was 7(4-11). There was a positive correlation between fatigue and pain, negative emotion and insomnia ( r values were 0.432-0.950, P<0.01). Negative emotions and insomnia had a partial mediating effect between pain and fatigue, with mediating effects accounting for 56.44% of the total effect. Conclusions:The fatigue of patients with rheumatoid arthritis is moderate; fatigue is associated with pain, negative emotions, and insomnia; negative emotions and insomnia have multiple mediating effects between pain and fatigue.

Objective: To evaluate effect of the morphology of simulated S-shaped root canals with Reciproc or Mtwo instruments on root canal irrigation. Methods: A total of 40 simulated S-shaped resin blocks were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=20), which was prepared by Reciproc or Mtwo. Blue ink was injected with constant speed and volume into the canals using 30G lateral opening syringe. hTe distance from needle tip to apex and vapor lock length were measured. A type of 25# 0.04 gutta-percha point was used to stir and remove the vapor lock. hTe time for removal of the vapor lock was recorded. Another syringe was used to inject saline into the canals and to measure the length of stagnant water. Results: hTe distance from needle tip to apex in the Reciproc group was signiifcantly longer than that in the Mtwo group [(4.276 ± 0.221) mm vs (3.459 ± 0.205) mm,P<0.05]. The vapor lock length in the Reciproc group was signiifcantly longer than that in the Mtwo group [(4.472 ± 0.230) mm vs (3.668±0.217) mm,P<0.05]. hTe time to remove vapor lock was signiifcantly shorter in the Reciproc group than that in the Mtwo group [(10.13 ± 1.79) s vs (15.29 ± 2.15) s,P<0.05]. The length of stagnant water was also shorter in the Reciproc group than that in the Mtwo group[(1.351 ± 0.142) mm vs (2.245 ± 0.206) mm,P<0.05]. Conclusion: hTe morphology of S-shaped root canal affects the root canal irrigation. hTe effect of root canal irrigated by Reciproc is better than that by Mtwo.

Objective To study the effects of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and transforming growth factor-α (TGF-α) on the growth and invasive potentials in human bladder tumor cells. Methods The effects of TGF-β1 and TGF-α on the growth of EJ cell line and the effects on MMPs and TIMP-2 were studied by means of MTT,Western Blot and RT-PCR methods. Results (1)TGF-β1 and TGF-α tended to inhibit the growth of EJ cells but statistically nonsigficant.(2)Higher levles of MMP-9 mRNA but lower levels of MMP-2,TIMP-2,MT1-MMP mRNA were found in EJ cells following the treatment with TGF-β1.The same was true for the expression of MMP-2,TIMP-2 mRNA in TGF-α groups.However,MMP-9 mRNA was not found in both TGF-α groups and the control groups. (3)TGF-β1 (0.1,1.0 ng/ml) enhanced MMP-2 protein but not the TIMP-2 protein,while TGF-β1 (5.0,10.0 ng/ml)decreased TIMP-2 protein but not on MMP-2.In TGF-α groups,when the concentration was 1.0,5.0,10.0ng/ml,TIMP-2 protein expression was decreased but MMP-2 did not.When the concentration reached 100.0 ng/ml,it increased MMP-2 protein level,not the TIMP-2 protein. Conclusions TGF-β1 and TGFα do not inhibit the proliferation of EJ cells whereas the enhanced-invasiveness and metastasis may be associated with regulating the expression of MMPs and TIMP-2.

[Objective]To discuss the anatomy and etiology of cubital tunnel syndrome.[Method]The clinical data and surgical findings of sixty five cubital tunnel syndrome cases were analyzed,and the per-operative electromyogram results of twenty five cases were studied.[Result]Hypertrophy of arcuate ligament resulted in compression and abrasion of ulnar nerve in sixty patients;we found that the ulnar nerve conduct velocity decreased(the average speed was 27.97 m/s),motional amplitude also decreased(the average voltage was 1.95 mv),and latent period prolonged(the average time was 5.41 ms)after pre-operative electromyogram.[Conclusion]The major etiology of cubital tunnel syndrome is chronic injury with sustained compression of ulnar nerve around elbow joint.Careful physical examination of ulnar nerve function and pre-operative electromyogram will help us to diagnose the cubital tunnel syndrome.Cubital tunnel syndrome should be differentiated from tardy ulnar nerve palsy of other sites.

Journal of China Medical University 2001;30(2):94-95,100
Objective: Our aim was to evaluate the role of TGF-β1 mRNA in pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: The present study was taken to investigate the expressions of TGF-β1 mRNA in alveolar macrophage(AM) and lung tissues in different stages of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats through reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction. Results: In bleomycin-treated rats, the expressions of TGF-β1 mRNA was remarkably increased in AM from 3rd day (P< 0.05) , and reached the peak on 7th day (P<0.01) , there was also a continuing high level from 14th day to 28th day (P>0.05). It showed similar pattern with that in lung tissues. Conclusion: There were TGF-β1 mRNA expression in both normal rats and pulmonary fibrosis rats. AMs seemed to be the main source of TGF-β1 mRNA in lung tissues, especially at stage of alveolitis.
