Objective To study the effect of SDF1/CXCR4 and FN/?1 integrin modulated by curcumin on the adhesion and migration of B lymphoma Raji cell and to explore the mechanism of curcumin to inhibit the invasiveness of lymphoma.Methods The experiment consisted of eight groups: Control,FN,SDF,FN+anti-?1 integrin,SDF+anti-CXCR4,curcumin+FN,curcumin+SDF.Adhesion assay and migration assay were used to detect the difference of invasiveness among different groups.Results In vitro,SDF1 and FN can increase the adhesion and migration of Raji cells,which can be blocked by ?1 integrin antibody and CXCR4 antibody.Curcumin can inhibit the adhesion and migration of Raji to FN in a dose-dependant manner.Low dosage curcumin had minimal effect on the adhesion and migration of Raji induced by SDF except that 25?mol/L curcumin can inhibit the adhesion and migration of Raji.Conclusion FN/?1 integrin and SDF1/CXCR4 pathway play important roles in the adhesion and migration of Raji cells.Curcumin can decrease the invasiveness of Raji cells through inhibiting FN/?1 integrin.It has good prospect of clinical application.

Culture environment is the key factor in the construction of dermal skin.It was investigated that the effects of the culture methods,including the static culture and spinner flask culture,and stir speeds on the cells proliferation,metabolism and distribution within collagenchitosan sponges.A higher cell density and specific growth rate was obtained with spinner flask culture versus static culture,especially,the 80 r/min spinner flask culture.The cell distribution in dermal substitutes from stirred culture system was more uniform than static culture,as well as that with increase of stir speeds in spinner flask.In summary,the spinner flasks culture with proper stir speed shows promise for the construction of dermal substitutes in vitro.

0.05).Conclusion Three Hybridoma cell lines which secrete the target antibodies with satisfied affinities and specificities have been successfully raised,which provides a basis to produce a domestic-made HCMVpp65 antigen diagnosis kit.

The leading cause of drug withdrawal from market and clinical trials failure is drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Varying clinical, histological and laboratory features of DILI, as well as undefined underlying mechanisms, hinder patients to be diagnosed in the early-stage of the disease and receive effective treatments. Conventional indicators, like serum transaminases and bilirubin, have inevitable limitations referring to sensitive prediction and specific detection of DILI. In order to reduce the occurrence of DILI, researchers have attempted to discover potential biomarkers with higher specificity and sensitivity from blood and urine in recent years. This article aims to review recent advances in biomarkers of DILI.

OBJECTIVE To observe the preventive effect on nosocomial infection by the herbal medicine Atractylodes chinensis disinfectant for air sterilization in cardiothoracic surgery.METHODS A.chinensis disinfectant and ultraviolet irradiation were used to disinfect the patients′ rooms of our cardiothoracic surgery department.The total number of germ and fungus in the indoor air before and after using the two methods were collected.The nosocomial infection rates of the same period were also studied.RESULTS A.chinensis disinfectant had strong effect on sterilization of indoor germs and fungi,and the sterilization rate was 92.7%.The comparison between A.chinensis disinfectant and ultraviolet irradiation showed significant difference in their disinfection effects,while no significant difference in their nosocomial infection rates.CONCLUSIONS The herbal medicine A.chinensis disinfectant can achieve good sterilization effect and prevent nosocomial infection.

Objective To prepare specific polyclonal antibodies to outer membrane protein (Opr) D_2 of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA),and explore the relationship between loss of OprD_2 and imipenem resistance.Methods The genomic DNA of PA was ex- tracted with phenol:chloroform.OprD_2 coding gene was amplified by PCR and prokaryotic expression vector pRSET-OprD_2 was constructed.OprD_2 protein was expressed by IPTG induction in E.coli BL21(DE3),and purified with SDS-PAGE.The new protein band was recovered and used as antigens to subcutaneously immunize two New Zealand rabbits to prepare poly- clonal antibody.The specificity of the antibody was determined by Western blot.The expression of OprD_2 in 32 clinical isolates of PA was detected with the prepared polyclonal antibody by Western blot.Results The vector pRSET-OprD_2 has been success- fully expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3).The polyclonal anti-OprD_2 antibody with high specificity has been successfully pre- pared.Present results show that of the 27 imipenem-resistant PA clinical isolates,OprD2 protein was low-expressed in 5 iso- lates (18.5%) and normally expressed in 2 isolates (7.4%) but not expressed in 20 isolates (74.1%).Conclusions The loss or low-expression of OprD_2 is one of the essential mechanisms accounting for imipenem resistance in clinical isolates of PA.

Objective:Establish mass-scale purification technology of cell-derived influenza virus. Methods: A microcarrier-based process was used to produce human influenza virus in serum free-adapted Vero cells. The virus was purified in a sequence of downstream processing steps including inactivation, clarification, anion exchange chromatography, affinity chromatography and size-exclusion chromatography. Results: The recovery of HA reached 102%. 95.3% total protein, including 99.77% host cell protein, and 99.99% host cell DNA were removed during downstream processing. Conclusion: Providing a high effective purification technology for cell-derived influenza virus.
