1.Utllizition of ELISA in determination of monoclonal antibody affinity constant in ascites
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(02):-
Antibody affinity influences the ant igen-antibody reaction in vivo and in vitro. It is important to routinely determine the antibody affinity in order to elucidate the impacts of this antibody characteristics on the immunoassay and the pathogenetic mechanisms of human diseases. In this paper, a simple method (modified Friguet' s) was reported to directly measure the experimental affinity data of monoclonal antibody in ascites by means of ELISA and to accurately determine the corresponding affinity constants of monoclonal antibody by amendment of underestimation of affinity constants due to the intrinsic properties of Friguet' s, and shows convenience and reliability.

3.Effect of telmisartan and fosinopril on the expression of angiotensin-con-vertion enzyme 2 in cardiomyocyte after myocardial infarction
Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(11):-
Objective:To investigate the effect of telmisartan and fosinopril on the expression of angiotensin-convertion enzyms 2 (ACE2) in cardiomyocyte after myocardial infarction.Methods:Animal model of acute myocardial infarction were established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery of rats. Vehicle, telmisartan,fosinopril,or both drugs combined were giv- en to rats by intubation feeding,from 2 weeks before coronary artery ligation to 2 weeks there after. ACE2 protein expression of myocardium were semi-quantified by SP immunohistochemistry. ACE2mRNA were measured by Reverse Transcriptase Poly- merase Chain Reaction (RT-RCR). Results:Compare with sham operated group,ACE2 protein increased significantly in infarc- tion group,but not the ACE2 mRNA. telmisartan and fosinopril therapy caused a significant increase in ACE2 protein compare to infarction group,but only telmisartan caused a significant increase in ACE2 mRNA though all therapied groups showed higher ACE2 mRNA expression. Conclusion:Both telmisartan and fosinopril induced increases in cardiac ACE2 exprssion, whereas the combination of these two drugs do not associated with higher ACE2 expression.

5.Estrogen, anti-estrogen drugs, and thyroid cancer
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2014;30(12):1128-1131
Several researches have suggested that estrogen contributes to the initiation and development of thyroid cancer by binding to estrogen receptors (estrogen receptor α,estrogen receptor β,and G-protein-coupled receptor 30),activating gene or non-genomic pathways and regulating proliferation of thyroid cells.Studies on antiestrogen drugs based on inhibiting thyroid cell proliferation may provide a new target in treating thyroid cancer.
6.The synergistic antitumor effects of berberine alpha-hydroxy-beta-decanoylethyl sulfonate with hydroxycamptothecine and its effect on topoisomerase.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2011;46(4):390-4
Synergistic antitumor effects of HB (berberine alpha-hydroxy-beta-decanoylethyl sulfonate, houttuyn berberine) with HCPT (hydroxycamptothecine), and its correlative mechanism were studied in vitro. MTT assay was employed to determine the cytotoxicity of HB combined with HCPT in tumor cells culture in vitro, IC50 and combination index (CI value) were used to evaluate the synergistic effects. The supercoiled DNA relaxation mediated by topoisomerase I & II was measured by agarose gel electrophoresis assay, and influence of HB was detected. The results showed that HB could inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells (SGC-7901, SW1116 and SW480) in vitro, and the inhibition ratio was increased, IC50 was reduced when combining with HCPT. CI value of the two drugs was less than 1 in HepG2, SW480, SGC-7901 and SW1116 cells. The lowest value was 0.447, 0.626, 0.161 and 0.178 in these tumor cells, respectively, further indicating HB has synergistic action with HCPT on suppressing tumor proliferation. The agarose gel electrophoresis assay showed HB can inhibit topoisomerase I & II activity of SW480 cells at the concentration of 2.0-8.0 mg x L(-1). HCPT is a typical inhibitor of topoisomerase I , the synergistic action between HCPT and HB on suppressing tumor proliferation is perhaps related to the congenerous inhibition of topoisomerase.

8.Determination of serum osteopontin in pulmonary tuberculosis patients and its clinical significance
Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2012;35(1):36-39
ObjectiveTo investigate osteopontin (OPN) level in pulmonary tuberculosis and its clinical significance.MethodsThe level of serum OPN was determined in 80 pulmonary tuberculosis patients before anti-tuberculosis treatment[patients group,simple pulmonary tuberculosis with 60 cases (simple pulmonary tuberculosis group),pulmonary tuberculosis combined with tuberculous pleurisy with 20cases (pulmonary tuberculosis combined with tuberculous pleurisy group)],and compared with that of 30healthy persons (healthy control group) and 20 patients having received effective anti-tuberculosis treatment and followed-up for 6 months (followed-up group).At the same time,the clinical significance of OPN was studied by other commonly used clinical indicators of tuberculosis.ResultsThe level of serum OPN in patients group [(843.49 ±569.23) ng/L] was significantly higher than that in healthy control group [(352.50 ± 185.02) ng/L,P <0.05].The level of serum OPN after treatment in followed-up group were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment [(494.11 ±352.40) ng/L vs.(1106.60 ± 628.39) ng/L,P< 0.05 ] and there was no significant difference compared with those in healthy control group (P > 0.05 ).The level of serum OPN in pulmonary tuberculosis combined with tuberculous pleurisy group [(1179.80 ±606.33) ng/L] was significantly higher than those in simple pulmonary tuberculosis group [(727.53 ±511.66) ng/L,P <0.05],and they were both higher than those in healthy control group [ ( 352.50 ± 185.02 ) ng/L,P < 0.05 ].Therefore,for further additional subgroup analysis in simple pulmonary tuberculosis group,the level of serum OPN in patients with cavity[ ( 836.51 ± 549.80) ng/L ] was significantly higher than that without cavity [ (535.52 ± 375.95 ) ng/L,P < 0.05 ],while the levels of serum OPN had no statistical difference between pulmonary lesion involved < 3 leaf patients and ≥ 3 leaf patients,sputum mycobacterium tuberculosis positive patients and negative patients,mycoDot test results positive patients and negative patients,erythrocyte sedimentation rate elevated patients and normal patients,PPD strongly positive patients and non-strongly positive patients (P>0.05).ConclusionsOPN activity is closely related with pulmonary tuberculosis.OPN can serve as a judge of pulmonary tuberculosis and the clinical indicators of disease outcome.The level of serum OPN and the severity of pulmonary tuberculosis have some correlations.
9.Clinical features and aCGH analysis of one child with Phelan-McDermid syndrome
Journal of Clinical Pediatrics 2014;(6):579-582
Objective To analyze the clinical features and results of array-comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH, aCGH) in a Chinese girl with Phelan-McDermid syndrome. Methods The clinical symptoms of a child with Phelan-Mc-Dermid syndrome were retrospectively analyzed. Routine G-banding was performed to analyze the karyotype, and the aCGH was used to analyze subchromosomal abnormalities. Results The routine karyotype analysis showed a normal female karyotype without abnomalities in chromosome number and structure. aCGH analysis finely mapped the deletion of Chr22q13.2-qter. Phel-an-McDermid syndrome was diagnosed for this case. Conclusions Phelan-McDermid syndrome can be diagnosed by the typi-cal and detailed clinical features in combination with the laboratory examinations of subchromosomal abnormalities. aCGH is one of the most valuable methods to analyze subchromosomal abnormalities and to diagnose Phelan-McDermid syndrome.
