Rhoptry proteins are the major virulence factors of Toxoplasma gondii. They locate in different parts of the host cells and can affect the membrane cytoskeleton structure and active factors of the host cells so as to block the cell intrinsic de-fense mechanisms of the host and let T. gondii invade parasitize and proliferate in the host successfully. The function and ac-tion mode of rhoptry proteins reflect the pathogenic mechanism of T. gondii which holds great significance to looking for toxo-plasmosis drug targets and developing molecule vaccines. This paper reviews the research progess of the interaction between rhoptry proteins of T. gondii and host cells.

Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry proteins (ROPs) include dozens of proteins secreted by tachyzoites ,these ROPs are known to be critical for several processes such as invasion ,parasitophorous vacuole establishment ,proliferation ,egress and getting out of host immune protection .ROPs belong to the protein kinase family and have classic kinase domain ,however ,most of the members are designated as pseudokinases due to the lack of critical catalytic residues that are normally required for phos-phorylation of host signal molecules .Recent studies indicated that pseudokinases also have important functions ,such as regula-ting kinase activity by allosteric and promoting the interactions between proteins as scaffolds .In this paper ,we summarize the pseudokinases structural characteristics and some pseudokinases functions ,for the study of toxop lasma gondii and host interac-tion mechanisms ,molecular vaccines screening and drugs design .

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the3pharmacotherapeutic schemes for biliary tract infections by pharmacoeconomic method.METHODS:Scheme A:cefazolin+metronidazole;Scheme B:ampicillin+gentamicin+metronidazole;Scheme C:lome?floxacin injection+metronidazole.These three schemes were retrospectively analysed with cost-effectiveness analy?sis.RESULTS:Scheme C had the lowest cost-effectiveness ratio with the highest total effective rate.CONCLUSION:Scheme C is the best one.

Objective To investigate the regulation of metabolic characteristics of metronidazole and tinidazole in human bile,and provide a theoretic basis for physician selecting antibiotic rationally when biliary tract was infected.Methods Samples of hman bile were obtained by ERCP plus ENBD,contents of metronidazole and tinidazole were simultaneously measured by HPLC method in the human bile and plasma.Results 0 25 hour after metronidazole and tinidazole were given through iv,contents of two antibiotics had reached the effective bactericida.Concentraction,content of tinidazole in the bile was relatively stable,but its C max was lower as compared with the metronidazole,contents of the two antibiotics in bile were continuously higher than those of the effective bactericidal in 24 hours,and after 16 hours and re-raise was observed in contents of the two antibiotics in bile.Conclusion As maintaining a higher concentration level for long time in the bile by iv,metronidazole and tinidazole were recommended in the patients with an infection in biliary truct.

The clinical data and findings in MRI enhanced scanning of 16 patients with meningeal carcinomatosis were analyzed retrospectively.Meningeal carcinomatosis with subacute- or chronic-onset deteriorated progressively presenting the characteristics of intracranial hypertension and meningeal irritation.Fourteen out of 16 patients showed abnormal linear and strip signal enhancement of meninges by enhancement scanning.Meningeal carcinomatosis presented in diversified patterns and contrast-enhanced MRI is of referential value for the diagnosis of the disease.

Objective To detect the Bag-1 and VEGF expressions in HCC tissues,cancerous liver tissues and normal liver tissues,and to explore their relationship with prognosis.Methods Immunohistochemical staining (SP method) was used to detect Bag-1 and VEGF in 60 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma specimens,next to the 30 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma in liver tissue,and 14 cases of normal liver tissue specimens,and their clinicopathological features were analyzed.Results Bag-l,VEGF expression rates were highest in HCC tissues [80.0 ％ (48/60),73.3 ％ (44/60)] and with adjacent tissues [46.7 ％ (14/30),43.3 ％ (13/30)],normal liver tissue [28.6 ％ (4/14),21.4 ％ (3/14)] expression rates had differences (P ＜ 0.05).Bag-1,VEGF expression had relationship with liver cancer staging,lymph node metastasis,tumor thrombosis formation,the correlation between the presence or absence of capsule formation (P ＜ 0.05),while had no relationship with the patient gender,age,tumor grade,tumor size,and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and other factors correlation (P ＞ 0.05).Bag-1 and VEGF expression in HCC specimens positive 40 cases,while negative eight cases,both in HCC tissues expression was positively correlated (P ＜ 0.05).Bag-1,VEGF positive expression in patients 1-year,2-year survival rates were less than negative patients,the survival time of patients with positive group was significantly lower than the negative patients (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Bag-1 and VEGF expressions are closely related with biological characteristics of liver cancer,and which is closely related to the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular.

Objective To identify and classify six isolates of swine-originated Trichinella from China. Methods Five specific pairs of primers were synthesized based on DNA sequence of expansion segment V region and internal tran-scribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) of ribosomal DNA repeat from Trichinella. International reference strains of five Trich-inella species [Trichinella spiralis (T1), T. nativa (T2), T. britovi (T3), T. pseudospiralis (T4) and T. nelsoni(T7)] were used as control. Six swine Trichienlla isolates from Henan, Yunnan, Harbin, Tongjiang of Heilongjiang, Hubei and Tianjin were identified by multiplex PCR and its effecting factors of PCR amplification were observed. Results Electrophoresis results of multiplex PCR products of Trichinella larvae showed that the band (173 bp) of the six isolates was the same as T. spiralis(T1). The specific band (173 bp) was detected by multiplex PCR through amplification from issues of single T. spiralis larva, the larvae conserved in 80% ethanol for 6 months, the larvae stored in 10% formaldehyde, in 0.05% formaldehyde, 0.2% sodium azide or 0.05% merthiotate for 2 weeks,or fresh mouse muscle with larvae. Conclusion All the six swine Trichinella isolates are identified as T. spiralis (T1) by multiplex PCR.

Objective:To analyze the relationship among smoking, levels of homocysteine (Hcy), cystatin C (CysC), C reactive protein (CRP) and coronary heart disease (CHD) onset in young people.Methods:A total of 152 patients, who received selective coronary angiography because of chest pain in our hospital, were enrolled, and all subjects were <45 years old.According to examination results, they were divided into CHD group (n=100) and non-CHD group (n=52).Clinical data were analyzed in both groups, and Logistic multi-factor regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for CHD in young people.Results:Compared with non-CHD group, there were significant rise in percentages of men (30.8% vs.65.0%), smoking (46.1% vs.68.0%) and hypertension (34.6% vs.51.0%), levels of CysC[(0.85±0.16) mg/L vs.(1.34±0.28) mg/L], CRP [(1.26±0.85) mg/L vs.(6.93±0.85) mg/L] and Hcy[(7.16±1.16) mol/L vs.(20.85±2.16) mol/L],P<0.05 or <0.01;multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that male, hypertension, smoking, Hcy, CysC and CRP were risk factors for CHD in young people (OR=1.34~3.42, P<0.05 or <0.01).Conclusion:Male, smoking, total cholesterol, homocysteine, Cys C and C reactive protein are risk factors for CHD in young people.Therefore, these risk factors should be eliminated, or its risk should be reduced.
