Protein biochips industry has been making significant progress recently. It played a role in the discovery-oriented proteomics, but now the research emphasis turns to the study of important functional proteins. The emergence of the low density protein biochip technique facilitated this study conversion. This technology has advantages of low cross-reaction, high signal intensity and good precision. This paper reviewed various medical and pharmaceutical applications of the low density protein biochips in disease diagnostics and monitoring, drug discovery and testing, as well as molecular interaction and signaling pathways.

Objective:To constract a method of measurement microamount hydrogen sulfide (H_2S) using sensitive sulphur electrode. Methods: According to the physical and chemical characters of H_2S, H_2S, which in the fluids by mean of physical dissolve and chemical shape, is turned to sulphur ion (S 2-) by chemical responses. After the microamount of S 2- was measured by sensitive sulphur electrode, and the concentration of H_2S was converted, a method was constructed to measure the H_2S. It was used to analyze the concentrations of H_2S of plasma in rats and humans, the endogenous concentration of H_2S of cardiovascular tissue in rats, and CSE activity of cardiovascular tissues and cells. Results: The exponential regression of S 2- in the extent including 1 to 80 ?mol/L was found using sensitive sulphur electrod. The H_2S levels of plasma in male and female rats were 40?4 and 41?5 ?mol/L, respectively, and significant difference was not found; those in venous blood plasma of men and women were 33?4 ?mol/L and 35?5 ?mol/L respectively, without significant difference. There were not significant differences in the aortic endogenous levels of H_2S (24?6 and 25?5 nmol/mg pro) and myocardial levels (19?4 and 19?6 nmol/mg protein) between female and male rats. There were no different results of CSE activity in aortal tissue using sensitive sulphur electrode or traditional methods, however, the CSE activity of vascular smooth muscle cells could be accurately measured using sensitive sulphur electrode, which was difficult in using traditional method. Conclusion: The sensitive sulphur electrode assay was fit for the analysis of CSE/H_2S pathway in cardiovascular research.

[Summary] During recent years, increasing evidences have indicated that type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) might increase the risk of certain tumors; the process might be not only related with the chronic pathologic status of T2DM such as hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, status of chronic inflammation but also associated with the long-term use of anti-diabetic drugs (i. e. sulfonylureas, biguanides, glitazones, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptitide-1 receptor agonists), as well as the use of insulin and insulin analogues. Herewith a system review was made about the recent progress in studying T2DM and tumor risk.

Objective To investigate the dynamic expression from gene and protein levels of hypoxia inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) during the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) in neonatal rats.Methods A neonatal rat model of HPH was established,normal neonatal rats were enrolled as the control group.At the 3th 、7th、10th and 14th days,we measured the mRVSP through catheterization of right ventricule,collected hearts to figure out the right ventricular hypertrophy index(RVHI),evaluated vascular remodeling by the percentage of medial thickness to outer diameter of the small pulmonary arteries (MT％) and the percentage of medial cross section on area to the total cross section area of the pulmonary small arteries (MA％),observed the expression of HIF-1α by immunochemistry,and measured the expression of HIF-1α in mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results The mRVSP increased at the 3th day,and sustained until the 14th day (P ＜ 0.01).RVHI MT％ and MA％ increased at the 7th day,and sustained until the 14th day (P ＜0.01).HIF-1α mainly expressed in endothelium and smooth muscle cells in the CHPH group and the HIF-1αmRNA increased significantly on the 3th and 7th days (P ＜ 0.05),and the HIF-1α protein increased significantly on the 7th、10th and 14th days in the CHPH group compared with the control group(P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The mRVSP increased at the early stage after hypoxic exposure in neonatal rats,followed by vascular remodeling and right ventricular hypertrophy.Both mRNA and protein levels of HIF-1α sustained higher than control group during the vascular remodeling stage,indicating that HIF-1α might be a important factor contributing to the vascular remodeling.

BACKGROUND:In senile osteoporosis patients, capacity of pedicle screw fixation is relatively poor due to fragile bone substance. Currently, augmentation of pedicle screw fixation with bone cement can improve the ability of screw fixation, but bone cement leakage and difficulties in screw removal become the problem to be solved. OBJECTIVE:To develop a novel pourable pedicle bone cement and to investigate its biomechanical properties, safety and practicality, thus providing the basis for clinical treatment of osteoporosis and spinal diseases.
METHODS:Six cases of complete wetting spines were colected at the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from December 2013 to January 2015, including 42 vertebrae. Pedicle screw fixation with X-ray assisted bone cement injection (2 mL) was performed unilateraly as experimental group, and conventional pedicle screw fixation was done contralateraly as control group. Bone cement dispersion was observed in the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:It was 3-4 minutes for bone cement to agglomerate. Injection of bone cement paste into the infusion cylinder using a syringe was more convenient. The cylinder was connected tightly with the tail-end of the screw with no leakage. The push bar could provide sufficient perfusion force. Bone cement dispersion was found in the holow part and side holes of the screw. Side holes arranged regularly, and the hole pitch was equal. Compared with the control group, the yield load and yield displacement were significantly higher in the experimental group (P < 0.05), but the ultimate strength and ultimate displacement were significantly lower in the experimental group (P < 0.05). Bone cement around the pourable cement screw dispersed regularly, which was diffused into the surround cancelous bone and integrated with adjacent bone cement mass. The axial withdrawal force was increased by 114% in the experimental group compared with the control group (P < 0.05). The maximum rotary torque was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (P< 0.05). These finding suggest that the new pourable cement screw combined with bone cement putter and infusion cylinder is applied more convenient, can effectively control the leakage of bone cement, and can improve the stability of the pedicle in osteoporosis patients, which has been widely used.
