Objective To investigate the transcription and expression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) mRNA in endemic arsenism patients by burning coal usage,to probe its effects on the development and carcinogenesis of arsenism. Methods In 2008,68 arsenism patients(including 24 mild cases,28 moderate cases and 16 severe cases) were selected in the areas with endemic arsenism according to Standarding of Diagnosis for Endemic Arsenism from Xingren county,Guizhou province. Among the subjects,40 cases were diagnosed by pathological methods,and they were divided into general pathological changes(20),precancerous(14) and cancerous group(6). Tweleve kilometer away from the endemic arsenism area,23 controls were selected in Daguoduo village (non-arsenism exposure). Under the principle of informed consent,blood samples were collected from individuals. The mRNA expression of DNMTI was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR). At the same time,skin tissue samples were collected from the voluntary surgical treatment patients with endemic arsenism (total 61 cases,including 34 general pathological changes cases,21 precancerous cases and 6 cancerous cases) and from the control(15 cases). DNMT1 protein was detected by immunohistochemical method.Results Average level of DNMT1 mRNA were 0.221 83±0.595 09,0.246 11±0.509 79 and 0.389 27±0.411 33 respectively among mild,moderate and severe arsenism group. DNMT1 mRNA level of mild and moderate group were obviously lower than the control group(0.695 95±0.463 98,all P < 0.01). The mRNA average level of DNMT1 were 0.320 64±0.547 46,0.313 09±0.529 13 and 0.159 07±0.342 56 individually among general pathological changes,precancerous and cancerous group,which were obviously lower than the control group(0.695 95±0.463 98,all P < 0.05). The expression rates of DNMT1 protein in skin were 88.24%(30/34),100%(21/21) and 100% (6/6) among general pathological changes,precancerous and cancerous group were higher than the control group [0(0/15),all P < 0.01],and the extent of expression gradually increased with the aggravation of skin damage(r,= 0.740,P < 0.01). Conclusions DNMT1 participated in the development of the arsenism. High expression of its protein was an early event during the process of the arsenism. DNMT1 may be the new target markers for early diagnosis and treatment of arsenism.

Abstract:In recent years,the outbreak and prevalence of respiratory infectious diseases in the world seriously endanger
human health,among which the respiratory infectious diseases caused by viral infection account for a large proportion. The
use of vaccines and common antiviral drugs is an effective way to fight viral infection,but there are also problems such as lag
and drug resistance. Monoclonal antibodies against respiratory viral infections provide a new strategy for clinical
treatment. This paper reviews the development of monoclonal antibody against respiratory virus and its application in
respiratory viral infectious diseases.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of laparoscopic cystogastrostomy for retrogastric pancreatic pseudocysts.Methods Five patients suffering from retrogastric pancreatic pseudocysts caused by severe acute biliary pancreatitis received conservative management for 2 ~ 6 months,and the sizes of pseudocysts were 8,10,12,14,15 cm.All the 5 patients received laparoscopic cystogastrostomy,and 4 ports methods was applied,through anterior gastric wall,the posterior gastric wall and pancreatic pseudocysts were incised by using harmonic scalpel,then cystogastrostomy was performed to drain the pseudocysts.Results Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy for retrogastric pancreatic pseudocysts was successful in all patients,theoperation time was 90,105,115,120,150 minutes.The blood loss was 100,150,150,200,300 ml.No intra-gastric bleeding occurred.After 1 month follow-up,all the pseudocysts disappeared,and there was no acute pancreatitis and local infection recurrence.Gastric leakage occurred 7 d after operation in one patient,and was healed after one month of conservative management.Conclusions Laparoscopic cystogastrostomy through gastric cavity for retrogastric pancreatic pseudocysts is simple and effective,mini-invasive,and it can be an alternative therapeutic method for pancreatic pseudocysts.

The high-copy-number plasmid pcDNA3.1+ is unstable within S almonella typhimurium. A novel plasmid pmcDNA3.1+ was constructed by removin g the promoter sequence of ampicillin resistance gene (bla gene) in plasmid pcDNA3.1+. In contrast to pcDNA3.1+, pmcDNA3.1+ was stable within Salmonel la typhimurium SL7207 in LB medium with or without ampicillin. Further experi ments showed the ?-lactamase activity of Salmonella typhimurium SL7207(pmc DNA3.1+) was apparently lowered than that of Salmonella typhimurium SL7207( pcDNA3.1+) and the high ampicillin concentration was maintained longer in LB me dium culturing Salmonella typhimurium SL7207(pmcDNA3.1+). When mice were a dministered with Salmonella typhimurium SL7207(pmcDNA3.1+) intraperitoneall y, more than 95% of Salmonella cells separated from the spleen still harbore d the plasmid pmcDNA3.1+ 7 days later; but 99% of Salmonella cells lost the plasmid pcDNA3.1+ at day 3 in mice innoculated with Salmonella typhimurium SL7207(pcDNA3.1+). By lowering the expression of bla gene, the rapid deco mposition of ampicillin in LB medium was avoided and the metabolic pressure was relieved for the host cells. This method offers a solution for the problem of t he instability of high-copy-number plasmid within Salmonella typhimurium.

One hundred Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing-related genes were selected and their primers were synthesized. The fragments of specific sequences which are related QS genes were amplified by PCR. These verified sequences were inserted into the vector pMD-18T for sequencing. These DNA fragments were dotted onto glass slides to make cDNA microarray. Hybridization was performed with cy3/cy5-dCTP labeled probes. The scanning data of early stationary phase and mid-logarithmic phase indicated that 9 genes were up-regulated and 6 genes were down-regulated. Undergoing the different medicines,we took tobramycin as an example to compare the expression diversity. The results confirm that the QS cDNA chip is useful,and may contribute to better understand the mechanism of quorum-sensing,and can help us find the new targets for restraining the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Objective To investigate the effects of partial body weight supported treadmill training (BW- STT) on post-stroke depression (PSD) and on patients' quality of life.Methods Sixty patients with PSD were re- cruited and divided into a training group (n=30,male 17,female 13) and a control group (n=30,male 16,fe- male 14).All patients were treated with routine internal medication and rehabilitation.The patients of the training group also received BWSTT in addition to their routine treatment.All patients' neurological impairment was evaluated using the Modified Edinburgh-Scandinavian Stroke Scale (MESSS).The Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) was used for evaluating the degree of depression.The Fugl-Meyer scale and the Barthel index were used to assess ambula- tion and balance,and facility in the activities of daily living.All patients were assessed before and after the treat- ment.Results After four weeks of treatment,depression in the training group had improved significantly more than in the control group.Conclusion BWSTT intervention is very important for patients with PSD:it can reduce the degree of depression and improve the quality of life.
