Objective To investigate the rate and the population distribution of subjects with indeterminate result of HIV antibody test and to understand the relationships between the western blot(WB)banding patterns and HIV infection through follow-up reexamination. Methods Samples with indeterminate results of HIV antibody test were collected by Jiading Center for Disease Control and Prevention from 2013 to 2017. They were used for analysis of the source, the distribution of Western blotting band pattern and the follow-up results. Results Among 698 samples required to be re-tested for confirmation of HIV infection, 151(21.63%)showed indeterminate WB test results. There were 18 types of WB band in 151 HIV antibody-indeterminate samples. The most common band types, accounting for 79.47%, were p24, gp160, and gp160p24. One hundred(among 151)subjects were followed up and the success follow-up rate was 50.00%. Among them, 28(56.00%)samples were still with indeterminate results of HIV antibody, 11(22.00% turned to be negative and 11(22.00%)turned to positive. The follow-up confirmatory tests showed that 67.86% of the samples with p24 band were still with indeterminate results and 40.00% of the samples with gp160 band became HIV antibody-negative. The samples with one of the three band patterns of gp160gp120p24, gp160p24p17 and gp160gp120p66p51 all became HIV antibody-positive. Conclusion The detection rate of indeterminate HIV antibody results varies in different populations. Positive conversion rates with different WB band patterns are different. Follow-up of the populations with specific WB band patterns should be strengthened to detect HIV infection cases as early as possible.

Background Stromal cell-derived factor-1_?(SDF-1_?)has been demonstrated to be essential for stern cell mobilization/homing.Recent evidence indicates that SDF-1_? has been expressed in injured carotid arter- ies.Besides,high SDF-1_? plasma levels are clinically associated with stable coronary artery disease.Objective To investigate whether SDF 1 involves in mobilization of endothelial progenitor cells(EPC)and reendothelialization after vascular injury.Methods SDF-1_? was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot in carotid arteries of mice at different time points after wire-induced injury.SDF-1_? determination in peripheral blood samples and BM was per- formed by SDF-1_? enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)kit.EPC in peripheral blood collected at different time points after vascular injury were quantified by flow cytornetry.In subgroup,blocking SDF-1 rnonoclonal anti- body was injected,peripheral blood EPC were quantified after vascular injury and reendothelialization of injured ar- teries was determined 14 days later.Results Expression of SDF-1_? was evident at day 1,and peaked at day 3 after arterial injury.A rise in plasmatic concentration of SDF-1_? and a significant reduction of SDF-1_? in bone marrow concentration was noticed at all time points following injury.The amount of circulating EPC was increased shortly after induction of vascular injury and persisted up to 7 days(P

Objective To study the protective effects of quercetin on primary cultured rat astrocytes against oxidative stress. Methods Oxidative stress in primary cultured astrocytes was induced by exposure to 2 mmol/L H2O2 for 6 h, and the protective effect of quercetin pretreatment at different concentrations (0, 50, 100, and 200 μmol/L) administered 24 h before H2O2exposure was assessed with lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay and live-dead staining. Results Treatment with 2 mmol/L H2O2 caused obvious injuries to the astrocytes, resulting in significantly increased LDH release rate in comparison with that of the normal control cells [(90.27±2.68)% vs (3.89±+1.89)%, P<0.05] and significantly lowered cell survival rate [(59.73%±9.92)% vs (99.25±0.08)%, P<0.05]. Pretreatment with quercetin decreased the LDH release rate and increased the survival rate of the astrocytes exposed to H2O2; at the concentration of 50, 100, and 200 μmol/L, quercetin significantly decreased the LDH release rate of the exposed cells to (48.19±13.98)%, (27.81±9.33)% and (18.13±8.28)% (P<0.05), and increased the cell survival rate to (86.80±3.62)%, (88.32±5.77)% and (91.18±3.03)%, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion Quereetin may produce protective effects on the primary cultured astrocytes against oxidative stress.

AIMTo identify the genes specifically expressed in human adult and fetal testes and spermatozoa.

METHODSA human testis cDNA microarray was established. Then mRNAs of human adult and fetal testis and spermatozoa were purified and probes were prepared by a reverse transcription reaction with mRNA as the template. The microarray was hybridized with probes of adult and fetal testes and spermatozoa. The nucleic acid sequences of differentially expressed genes were determined and homologies were searched in the databases of GenBank.

RESULTSA novel human testis-specific gene, PKH-T, was identified by hybridizing adult and fetal testis and spermatozoa probes with a human testis cDNA microarray. The cDNA of PKH-T was 1 069 bp in length. The cDNA sequence of this clone was deposited in the Genbank (AY303972) and PKH-T was also determined as Interim GenSymbol (Unigene, HS.38041). PKH-T contained most PKH conserved motif. The 239 amino acid sequences deduced from the 719 bp open reading frame (ORF) had a homology with the gene PKH (U89606). PKH-T was specifically and strongly expressed in the testis. Comparison of the differential expressions of PKH and PKH-T in testes of different developmental stages indicated that PKH-T was expressed in the adult testis and spermatozoa, while PKH, in the adult, fetal and aged testes. PKH-T had no expression in the testis of Sertoli cell only and partially spermatogenic arrest patients.

CONCLUSIONPKH-T is a gene highly expressed in adult human testis and spermatozoa. It may play an important role in spermatogenesis and could be related to male infertility.

OBJECTIVETo detect the differential display of mRNA expression between human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell CNE-2L2 with reduced malignancy caused by transduction of a DNA antisense to 6A8 alpha-mannosidase cDNA (AS cell) and the wild type cell (W cell).

METHODSDifferential display of mRNA expression was analyzed using DNA microarray analysis. The datasets were confirmed by Northern blotting and RT-PCR.

RESULTSOut of the 1069 genes analyzed, 34 genes were up-regulated in AS cells relative to W cells. Conversely, 42 genes were down-regulated. The genes, up-regulation of which might have suppressive effect on tumor malignant behaviors, were P130 mRNA for 130K protein, TGF-betaIIR alpha, GABBR1, TGFBR1, TNFAIP1, STANIN, E-CADHERIN, CTNNA1 and 2, RFX2, TMPO, etc. The genes, down-regulation of which might have suppressive effect on tumor malignant behaviors, were CD44, NDRG1, TGFB1, RPS5, LEGUMAIIN, CBS, CD59, SNRPA1, etc. The microarray datasets were confirmed by Northern blot and RT-PCR analysis.

CONCLUSIONSIn comparison to the W cell, AS cell has up-regulation of 34 genes and down-regulation of 42 genes. Changes of the gene expression may play a role in the malignancy reduction of AS cell.
