Objective To clone and identify human genes transactivated by homo sapiens HCV FTP2 by constructing a cDNA subtractive library with suppression subtractive hybridization tech- nique.Methods Suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH)and bioinformatics techniques were used for screening and cloning of the target genes transactivated by HCV FTP2.The mRNA was iso- lated from HepG2 cells transfected pcDNA3.1(-)-HCV FTP2 and pcDNA3.1(-)empty vector re- spectively,and SSH method was employed to analyze the differentially expressed DNA sequence be- tween the two groups.After digestion with restriction enzyme Rsa I,small-size cDNAs were ob- tained.Then tester cDNA was divided into two groups and ligated to the specific adaptor I and adap- tor 2 respectively.After tester cDNA was hybridized with driver cDNA twice and underwent two times of nested PCR and then was subcloned into T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E.coli strain DH5?.Futhermore,the cDNA was se- quenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR.Results The subtractive library of genes transactivated by HCV FTP2 was constructed successfully.The amplified library contains 71 positive clones.Colony PCR shows that 56 clones contain 200～1000 hp inserts.Sequence analysis was performed in 24 clones randomly,and the full length sequences were obtained with bioinformatics method.Altogether 20 coding sequences in total were obtained,consisting of 19 known and 1 un- known.Conclusion The obtained sequences may be target genes transactivated by HCV FTP2,and some genes coding proteins involved in cell cycle regulation,metabolism and cell apoptosis.

Objectives To evaluate the effect of control measures and provide the basis for development of preventive measures though dynamical monitoring of the operation of water improvement projects and know The prevalent trends of endemic fluorosis.Methods In accordance with the provisions and requirements of the Surveillance Scheme of Drinking-Water-Borne Endemic Fluorosis(Trial),136 monitoring counties were selected in national 27 provinces(autonomous regions,municipalities) and Xin Jiang Production and Construction Corps,and 10 water improvement projects were selected in each county.The operation of water improvement projects was investigated,and water fluoride content was tested.Three epidemic villages were selected as fixed monitoring villages in each county.In the villages,the fluoride content in drinking water was detected by Standard Testing Method of Drinking Water.Dental fluorosis was diagnosed by Dean's method of all 8 to 12-year-old students in the villages.Stratified random sampling by age was used to select 50 adults over 25-year-old in each monitoring village,and skeletal fluorosis was examined by X-ray according to the Diagnosis Standard of Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis.Results ①A total of 1398 water improvement projects were monitored.Normal and intermittent operation and discarded projects accounted for 93.35％(1305/1398),5.29％(74/1398) and 1.36％(19/1398),respectively.The qualification rate of water fluoride content was 69.96％ (978/1398).② In the 327 surveyed villages with water improvement projects,the qualification rate of water fluoride content of the projects accounted for 76.15％(249/327).In the 84 surveyed villages without water improvement projects,villages of water fluoride ＞ 1.2 mg/L and ≤2.0 mg/L,＞ 2.0 mg/L,and ≤4.0 mg/L,and ＞ 4.0 mg/L,accounted for 57.14％ (48/84),32.14％(27/84) and 10.71％(9/84),respectively.③ In the 195 villages with water improvement projects and the projects were in normal operation with qualified water,the detection rate of dental fluorosis and the defect type of dental fluorosis in children were 25.03％ (3851/15 387) and 1.88％ (289/15 387),respectively,and for the 82 villages with fluoride content exceeded the national standard,the two rates were 56.27％ (3384/6014) and 10.92％(657/6014),respectively.④ In the 195 villages with water improvement projects and the projects were in normal operation with qualified water,the detection rate of X-ray skeletal fluorosis was 19.11％ (1465/7667).In the 79 villages with fluoride content exceeded the national standard,the detection rate of X-ray skeletal fluorosis was 17.47％ (634/3630).Conclusions The operation of water improvement projects and water quality need to be further improved,and the measure of changing water plays a certain role in control of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis,which needs a long-term consolidation.

Objective To study the biomechanical strength of calcium phoshphate cement (CPC) in fixating distal radial fractures. Methods A total of 18 human distal radius fracture models were made and randomly divided into three groups: fixed with Kirschner wire (Kirschner group), CPC (CPC group) or CPC combined with Kirschner wire (combination group). Compression test was performed to measure compression rigidity and rotational angle of distal fragment at 100 N and anticompression strength and maximum compression strength at 2 mm displacement.
