Measurement of whole blood CL was carried out to evaluate phagocytic of function of PMNL and opsonic activity of plasma from children (22 cases), adults (31), newborn infants (umbilical cord blood, 21), patients with bacterial infection (31), viral infections (21),and mild anemia (10). The following results were obtained: first, phagocytic function of PMNL and opsonic activity of plasma from normal children was compared to adults; second, phagocytic and/or metabolic activity of PMNL and opsonic ativity of plasma from newborn infants were lower then normal, third, PMNL of the patients with bacterial infections had been preactivated in vivo, their phagocytic function being enhanced, but, blood from the patients with viral infections showed almost no abnormalities; fourth, phagocytic activity of PMNL from the patients with mild anemia was similar to normal human. The significance of the results was also discused in the paper.

X-box binding protein1 (XBP1) is an important transcription factor, which participates in many signal transduction procession.To investigate the biological function of XBP1, yeast two-hybrid system to screen proteins interacting with XBP1 in hepatocytes was performed. The XBP1 coding sequence was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method, and was cloned in pGEM-T vector. After the target region was sequenced, it was subcloned into the bait plasmid pGBKT7, then was transformed into yeast AH109(a type). After the expression of bait plasmid pGBKT7-XBP1 in AH109 yeast strains were proved by Western blot. The transformed yeast AH109 was mated with yeast Y187(α type) containing hepatocyte cDNA library plasmids pACT2 in 2 ×YPDA medium. Diploid yeast was plated on synthetic dropout nutrient medilium (SD/-Trp-Leu-His-Ade) containing X-α-gal for selection and screening. After sequencing and verifying ORF of positive colonies,7 different kinds of proteins were obtained. In order to further testify the interaction between the screened proteins and XBP1, one of positive colonies MT1E was cloned. The interaction between MT1E and XBP1 in vitro/in vivo were examined successfully with GST pulldown and coimmunoprecipitations. It was shown that MT1E would be a new regulatory protein of XBP1. These screened proteins by yeast two-hybird system were closely correlated with liver fundamental metabolism,protein synthesis and transport,cell proliferation and apoptosis. The results mentioned above contributed to reveal the XBP 1 biological function, and brought some new clues for further exploration of the expressing and regulating mechanism of XBP1.

Objective:To explore the association of physical activities,sedentary behaviors with over-weight/obesity in Chinese children aged 9 -1 1 years,analyze the gender difference and heterogeneity of the association across different provinces,and provide evidence for prevention and control of overweight and obesity.Methods:Using the data of 40 692 children aged 9 -1 1 years from Chinese National Survey on Students’Constitution and Health in 201 0,the height and weight were measured and the time spent in physical activities,screen behaviors and homework were collected.We analyzed the associations among physical activities,sedentary behaviors and overweight/obesity in boys and girls separately,and assessed the heterogeneity of associations across different provinces with Meta-analysis.Results:The prevalence of overweight/obesity of the boys (27.1 %)was higher than that of the girls (1 2.9%),compared with the rural students (1 5.6%),the situation of overweight/obesity of the urban students (23.8%)was more serious,the prevalences of overweight/obesity were separately 22.6%,1 9.2% and 1 7.5% among developed,middle-developed and undeveloped social economic status subgroups.The boys with physical activities no more than 1 hour per day were more likely to be overweight/obese,with the OR of 1 .09 (95%CI:1 .02,1 .1 7).The girls with screen time more than 1 hour per day or homework time more than 2 hours per day were more likely to be overweight/obese,with the ORs of 1 .1 3 (95%CI:1 .02, 1 .26)and 1 .1 8 (95%CI:1 .03,1 .35)respectively.The high level of sedentary behaviors (more than 1 35min per day)was associated with overweight/obese in the girls,and the OR was 1 .1 9 (95%CI:1 .08,1 .33).There was no significant heterogeneity of effect values between physical activities and over-weight/obesity in the boys and between sedentary behaviors and overweight/obesity in the girls across the different provinces (P >0.05).Conclusion:The associations among physical activities,sedentary be-haviors and overweight/obesity existed in Chinese children aged 9 -1 1 years,which were different in boys and girls.There was no statistically significant heterogeneity across different provinces.The strate-gies to prevent and control overweight/obesity in primary school students should focus on gender-specific needs.

Objective To learn the effect on carcinoma xenograft in nude mice by inhibiting human papillomavirus 16(HPV16) E6 gene expression in CaSki cell. Methods The recombinant plasmids expressing HPV16 E6 small interference RNA (siRNA) were transfected into CaSki cell. The cells expressing recombinant plasmid was screened out with G418. The expression of E6 mRNA was determined by RT-PCR. The cells were inoculated into BALB/c nude mice subcutaneouly and the growth of the xenograft carcinoma was observed. After the pGensil-CH2 recombinant was injected into the carcinoma, the growth of carcinoma and pathological changes of carcinoma were observed. Results The CaSki cell expressing E6 siRNA was obtained, and HPV16 E6 mRNA expression in CaSki cell was down-regulated. The oncogenicity of the CaSki cell expressing E6 siRNA was degraded, the inhibition rate was up to 71.4% as compared with that of control group. The growth of tumor in nude mice was inhibited after the E6 siRNA plasmids were injected into the nude mice. The volume and weight of the tumor treated by siRNA were smaller than that of control group significantly. More necrotic area and less cell division phase were observed under light microscope in the E6 siRNA treated tumor. Conclusion The oncogenicity of the CaSki cell was degraded after silencing HPV16 E6 gene in CaSki cell by E6 siRNA.

Objective To investigate the rule of the cerebral tissues aquaporin-4(AQP-4) expression in acute and chronic hepatic failure mice.To study the molecular biologic mechanism of the diffusion weighted imaging(DWI).Methods Sixty five male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups randomly,including acute(n=25),chronic hepatic failure(n=25)and control group(n=15). Thioacetamide(TAA)intraperitoneal injection produces the acute and chronic hepatic failure models.All rats in groups were examined with MR DWI.We Observed the distribution of abnormal signal on DWI.The DWI single values of top and lateral cortex of parietal lobe,peripheral region of lateral ventricle in the highest hyperintensity section of brain were measured.Blood ammonia values were examined.The pathologic and immuno-histochemistry and RT-PCR examination for brain specimen were performed.All date were analyzed with statistical methods.Results The mean values of blood ammonia were significantly different (P0.05).Conclusions Increase of the blood ammonia was the main cause for the brain energy metabolic abnormality and AQP-4 mRNA and protein expression.The hyperammonemia was the key factor in the occurrence and development of the hepatic brain edema.The abnormal findings in DWI signal could reflect the range and degree of the brain edema and AQP-4 protein expression.
