The continued development of new cell culture technology is essential for the future growth and application of insect cell and baculovirus biotechnology. The use of cell lines for academic research and for commercial applications is currently dominated by two cell lines; the Spodoptera frugiperda line, SF21 (and its clonal isolate, SF9), and the Trichoplusia ni line, BTI 5B1-4, commercially known as High Five cells. The long perceived prediction that the immense potential application of the baculovirus-insect cell system, as a tool in cell and molecular biology, agriculture, and animal health, has been achieved. The versatility and recent applications of this popular expression system has been demonstrated by both academia and industry and it is clear that this cell-based system has been widely accepted for biotechnological applications. Numerous small to midsize startup biotechnology companies in North America and the Europe are currently using the baculovirus-insect cell technology to produce custom recombinant proteins for research and commercial applications. The recent breakthroughs using the baculovirus-insect cell-based system for the development of several commercial products that will impact animal and human health will further enhance interest in this technology by pharma. Clearly, future progress in novel cell and engineering advances will lead to fundamental scientific discoveries and serve to enhance the utility and applications of this baculovirus-insect cell system.

Lepidopteran heat-tolerant(ht)cell lines have been obtained with sf-9,sf-21 and several Bombyx cells.They have a distinct karyotype,membrane lipid composition,morphology and growth kinetics from the parental cell lines.In this paper,we report the development of ht cell lines from other insect species and examination of their growth characteristics and virus susceptibility.Adaptation of cell lines sf-9,BTI-TN-5131-4(High5)and BTI-TN-MG1(MG 1)to 33℃ and 35℃ was carried out by shifting the culture temperature between 28℃ and higher temperatures by a gradual stepwise increase in temperature.The process of adaption to a higher culture temperature was accomplished over a period of 2 months.The cell lines with the temperature adaption were designated as sf9-ht33,sf9-ht35,High5-ht33,High5-ht35,MG1-ht33,MG1-ht35.These cell lines have been subcultured over 70 passages.Adaption to high temperatures was confirmed by a constant population doubling time with individual cell lines.The population doubling time of heat adapted cell lines were 1-4 h less than these of parental cell lines.Cell shapes did not show obvious change,however,the cell size of sf9-ht cells was enlarged and those of High5 and MG1 ht cells were reduced after heat adaption.When the cell lines were infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus(AcMNPV)at 28℃,33℃,35℃ and 37℃,production of budded virus and occlusion bodies in each cell line was optimum at its own adapted temperature.

It is well known that Tn5B1-4(commercially known as the High Five)cell line is highly susceptible to baculovirus and provides superior production of recombinant proteins when compared to other insect cell lines.But the characteristics of the cell line do not always remain stable and may change upon continuous passage.Recently an alphanodavirus,named Tn5 Cell Line Virus(or TNCL Virus),was identified in High Five cells in particular. Therefore,we established a new cell line,QB-Tn9-4s,from Trichoplusia ni,which was determined to be free of TNCL virus by RT-PCR analysis. In this paper,we describe the development of a novel cell clone,QB-CL-B,from a low passage QB-Tn9-4s cell line and report its susceptibility to ACMNPV,and the level of recombinant protein production. This cell clone was similar to its parental cells QB-Tn9-4s and Tn5B 1-4 cells in morphology and growth rate;although it also showed approximately the same responses to AcMNPV infection and production of occlusion bodies,there were higher levels of recombinant protein production in comparison to QB-Tn9-4s(parental cells)and High5 cells.

Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of CT myocardial perfusion combined with serum cystatin C (CysC) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) for coronary heart disease (CHD) and its correlation with coronary artery disease.Methods:The clinical data of 126 patients with CHD (CHD group) and 126 patients with suspected CHD but excluded CHD by coronary angiography (control group) in Shanxi Provincial General Hospital of Armed Police Force from May 2018 to May 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. CT myocardial perfusion myocardial imaging was performed in both groups, and blood perfusion (BF) and mean transit time (MTT) were calculated. The serum Gal-3 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent method, and the serum CysC was detected by immunoturbidimetric method. The changes of indexes in 2 groups and in CHD patients with different degrees of coronary artery stenosis and number of diseased branches were compared. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of CHD; Pearson correlation was used to analyze the relationship between BF, MTT, CysC, Gal-3 and the degree of coronary artery stenosis and the number of diseased branches in patients with CHD; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the effectiveness of each index in diagnosing CHD was analyzed. The area under curve (AUC) was compared by DeLong test, and the combined diagnosis was performed by Logistic binary regression fitting.Results:The BF in CHD group was significantly lower than that in control group: (102.30 ± 9.25) ml/(100 g·min) vs. (119.97 ± 12.08) ml/(100 g·min), the MTT, CysC and Gal-3 were significantly higher than those in control group: (17.23 ± 3.04) s vs. (5.38 ± 1.29) s, (0.98 ± 0.24) mg/L vs. (0.73 ± 0.18) mg/L and (55.27 ± 16.42) ng/L vs. (16.93 ± 5.75) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Logistic regression analysis result showed that BF, MTT, CysC and Gal-3 were the influencing factors of CHD ( P<0.01). ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of BF, MTT, CysC combined with Gal-3 in the diagnosis of CHD was the largest (0.879), with a specificity of 84.92% and a sensitivity of 80.95%. In patients with CHD, with the aggravation of coronary artery stenosis and the increase of the number of diseased branches, the BF decreased gradually, the MTT, CysC and Gal-3 increased gradually, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that the BF had negative correlation with the degree of coronary artery stenosis and the number of diseased branches in patients with CHD ( r=-0.592 and -0.573, P<0.01), and the MTT, CysC and Gal-3 had positive correlation with the degree of coronary artery stenosis and the number of diseased branches (MTT: r = 0.695 and 0.674, P<0.01; CysC: r = 0.546 and 0.519, P<0.01; Gal-3: r = 0.628 and 0.609, P<0.01). Conclusions:CT myocardial perfusion imaging indexes (BF and MTT), serum CysC and Gal-3 levels are related to the degree of coronary artery stenosis and the number of diseased branches in patients with CHD. The combined detection of various indicators can improve the diagnostic value and provide a certain basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment and disease monitoring.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of colonoscopic metal stenting and ileus tube catheteriza-tion on left colorectal cancer with acute obstruction. Methods Clinical data of 80 patients meeting the diagnostic criteria for acute obstruction of the left half of colorectal cancer were included in this study. Patients were randomly divided into met-al stent group (n=40) and ileus tube group (n=40). The metal stent group was treated by metal stent and the ileus tube group was treated by ileus tube. Both were carried on by colonoscopy and X-line. After the relief of obstruction ( 7-10 d), patients were underwent colorectal cancer radical resection and anastomosis. The technical operations, improvement of obstruction and the efficacy of surgical treatment were compared between two groups. Results The success rate was 87.5%in metal stent group and the 97.5%in ileus tube group. There was no significant difference in the success rate between two groups (P>0.05). No complications were found in two groups. The operation time and the treatment cost were higher in metal stent group than those in ileus tube group. The relief rates of obstruction were 100%and 95%for metal stent group and ileus tube group, and there was no difference between them. Two cases were operated for emergency because of the failure of obstruc-tion relief. The relief time of obstruction and the difference between C-reactive protein values were much better in metal stent group than those of ileus tube group. After the obstruction relief, patients underwent a radical resection of the tumor and anastomosis, no anastomotic leakage was found in two groups. There were no significant differences in the operation time, in-cision infection and hospitalization time between two groups. Conclusion Anal ileus tube catheterization has a better eco-nomic value in the treatment of acute obstruction, but the efficacy of metal stent is better.
