A fluorescence nanosensor based on an easily prepared fluorescent molecule, 1-oxo-1H-phenalene-2,3-dicarbonitrile (OPD), was developed for highly sensitive detection of glucose.Under the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was oxidized into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by H2O2.And the fluorescence of OPD was quenched by the intense absorption of the formed oxTMB, thus realizing effective quantitative detection of H2O2.The linear range was 0.05-0.8 μmol/L and 1-10 μmol/L respectively, with limit of detection of 0.02 μmol/L.Besides, on the basis of transformation of glucose into H2O2 through the catalysis of glucose oxidase, this nanosensor could be further exploited for highly sensitive detection of glucose.The TMB-HRP-OPD sensor exhibited linear range of 0.1-3.0 μmol/L and 4.0-30 μmol/L respectively for detection of glucose, with limit of detection of 0.02 μmol/L.Furthermore, it was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in real human serum and the results were in good agreement with the clinical data.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of the plasma growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 100 patients with CHF were in?cluded in this study (CHF group), and 30 healthy persons were used as control group. CHF group was divided into heart func? tionⅡgrade (n=35),Ⅲgrade (n=32),Ⅳgrade (n=33) groups in accordance with New York Heart Association (NYHA). And CHF group was also divided into left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)<0.4 grade (n=52) and LVEF≥0.4 grade (n=48) groups in accordance with LVEF of patients. The plasma GDF-15 and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels were detected by ELISA. The values of LVEF, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), left ventricular systolic diameter (LVDs) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) were detected by echocardiography. The correlation of GDF-15, NYHA classifi?cation, BNP and index of echocardiography was analyzed between groups. Results Compared with control group, the levels of BNP, GDF-15, LVDd and LVDs were significantly higher in heart failure group, and values of LVEF and LVFS were sig?nificantly lower (P<0.05). The plasma levels of BNP, GDF-15, LVDd and LVDs were in turn increased in control group, LVEF≥0.4 grade group and LVEF<0.4 grade group. The plasma levels of LVFS were in turn decreased, in control group, LVEF≥0.4 grade group and LVEF<0.4 grade group (P<0.05). There were positive correlations between the plasma levels of GDF-15 and BNP, NYHA, LVDd and LVDs (r=0.524, 0.286, 0.453 and 0.531, P<0.05). The plasma level of GDF-15 was negatively correlated with LVEF and LVFS (r=-0.592,-0.587,P<0.05). Conclusion The plasma level of GDF-15 can be used as a new marker for diagnosis, treatment and prognosis in patients with chronic congestive heart failure.

Objective To investigate the cerebral CT appearances of toxic encephalopathy of tetramine and improve the recognition on this disease. Methods Four cases of toxic encephalopathy of tetramine were collected and their cerebral CT appearances were retrospectively analyzed. Results Cerebral CT appearances in acute phase (within 8 days): (1) cerebral edema in different degree. CT abnormalities consisted of cortical hypodensities and complete loss of gray-white matter differentiation. The CT value were in 11-13 HU, and to be watery density in serious case,(2)subarachnoid hemorrhage. It demonstrated the signs of poisoning hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in chronic phase. Conclusion The cerebral CT appearances of toxic encephalopathy of tetramine had some character in acute phase and it can predict the serious degree of intoxication, but there was no characteristic findings in chronic phase.

Objective To investigate the value of CARE Dose 4D technique in decreasing radiation dose and improving image quality of multi-slice spiral CT in adult chest scanning.Methods 100patients of chest CT scanning were equally divided into study group and control group randomly.CARE Dose 4D Technique was used in study group.Effective mAs value,volume CT dose index (CTDIvol) and dose length product (DLP) were displayed automatically in machine while chest scanning; those values and actual mAs value of every image were recorded respectively.The image quality at apex of lung,lower edge of aorta arch,middle area of left atrium and base of lung on every image of 400 images was judged and classified as three level (excellent,good,poor) by two deputy chief physicians with double blind method,the image noise at corresponding parts was measured.Results While setting 80 mAs for quality reference mAs,the effective mAs value in study group most decreased 44 mAs than control group with an average decrease of 9.60( 12.0% ) ,CTDIvol with 4.75 mGy with an average decrease of 0.95 mC y( 11.0% ) ,DLP 99.50% in study group,with 98.0% in control group.But it was higher at apex of lung and base of lung,lower at middle area of left atrium,and similar at lower edge of aorta arch in study group than contrast group.The image noise were lower at apex of lung and base of lung in study group than control group (t =6.299 and 2.332,all P < 0.05 ) ,higher at middle area of left atrium in study group than control group (t=3.078,P <0.05) and similar at lower edge of aorta arch in study group than control group (t =1.191,P >0.05).Conclusions CARE Dose 4D technique provides a function regulated mAs real-time on line,it not only raises utilization rate of radiation and decreases radiation dose,but also promises and increases image quality in chest CT scanning,and has some clinical significance.

Objective To investigate the phosphorylation of tau protein and the effect of atorvastatin on tau protein phosphorylation in hypercholesteremic mouse hippocampus. Methods Male Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal control group, hypercholesteremia group, and low-dose atorvastatin treatment group (8mg·kg-1·d-1), middle-dose group (15mg·kg-1·d-1),and high-dose group (20mg·kg-1·d-1) with five mice in each group. The hypercholesteremia mouse model was induced by cholesterol-enriched diets. The expression level of tau protein phosphorylation in mouse hippocampus was detected by Western blot and immunohistochemistry methods. The activities of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and cyelin dependent kinase 5 (Cdk-5) were measured by liquid scintillation counting of the hippocampus incorporated radioactivity and immunoprecipetation activity assay respectively. Results In hypercholesteremic group, the expression level of tau protein phosphorylation in mouse hippocampus was significantly increased(F=14.761,P<0.01)as compared with control group, and so were MAPK activity and Cdk-5 activity(all P<0.01). Atorvastatin treatment group showed the decreased expression level of tau protein phosphorylation at ser396/404 site in low-dose group (F=6.349,P<0.05),middle-dose group (F=10.283,P<0.01) and high-dose group (F=10.511,P<0.01) as compared with hypercholesteremia mouse group. The activities of MAPK and Cdk-5 were decreased along with the increasing atorvastatin doses. Conclusions Hypercholesteremia induces tau protein hyperphosphorylation in mouse hippocampus. Abnormal cholesterol metabolism may play an important role in the pathology process of neurodegeneration in brain. Atorvastatin might inhibit tau protein hyperphosphorylation by inhibiting the activations of MAPK and Cdk-5 in brain, atorvastatin may have the protect effect for tau protein.

To better understand the molecular characterization ,pathogenesis ,origin ,and evolutionary relationship of the first human-infecting H6N1 influenza virus ,the dataset was downloaded from the Flu and GISAID databases ,and the phy-logenetic trees were reconstructed by maximum likelihood (ML) ,maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) . Furthermore ,the evolution rate ,the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) ,variable sites ,glycosylation sites ,cleavage sites and other some molecular features were also analyzed by bioinformatic means .The results indicated that the HA gene fell into an individual clade with other three H6N1 virus strains isolated from chicken .TMRCA was in 2002 ,and the cluster had a higher evolution rate .The molecular features revealed the HA protein had 5 N-glycosylation sites ,2 O-glycosylation sites and 2 unique variable sites .The cleavage sites had only one basic amino acid and suggested that the human-infecting H6N1 virus strain was low pathogenic .However ,because of the higher substitution rate and viral reassortment ,people should pay more attention .
