The genome of a new SV40 strain(SV-IMB)isolated from a rhesus monkey was completely sequenced and compared with other isolates.The results showed that the whole genome contains 5246bp,and the average identity of SV-IMB was 98.1% as compared to other SV40 isolates.Its regulatory region is composed of a complete enhancer and a defective enhancer.Amino acid changes occurred to some extent in both the large T antigen (T-Ag) and VP1 region.The findings demonstrate that the SV-IMB is a new SV40 isolate.

Object: To study the proliferation of hCTGF on cells and its biological function on bone injury healing.Methods: The fibroblast with potential differentiation was transfected by eukaryotic gene delivery system and then transferred into the experimental animal model with bone fracture.The data were collected by molecular biological and clinical orthopedic technique detection analysis.Results: The results demonstrated an obvious proliferation of hCTGF on cells,suggesting that hCTGF have the biological activity of repairing bone injury via gene therapy.The results provide a new activity factor and treatment approach for bone injury in clinics.

Objective To study the sources and the relationship between the management and the outcome of hemorrhage after cephalic pancreatoduodenectomy.Methods The clinical data of 370 patients who underwent pancreatic resection at the Lihuili Hospital and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University were retrospectively analyzed.Results Postoperative bleeding occurred in 35 patients with 11 deaths.Among those intraabominal bleeding occurred in 14 cases and gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in 22,with one case suffering from both.Bleediug developing within 72 hours after operation in 12 cases (early-stage group),which was caused by improper intraoperative homeostasis.In other 23 cases,bleeding 72 hours after operation(later stage group)was caused by the erosion following pancreatic and/or bile leakage.Relaparotomy was performed in 13 cases and endoscopic homeostasis was performed in 3. Relaparotomy or endoscopic homeostasis was superior to that of conservative therapy in the early-stage group (P0.05).Pancreatic or bile leakage was identified as the significant risk factors for the postoperative bleeding.Conclusions In order to prevent the postoperative hemorrhage and to reduce the mortality of pancreatic resection,skillful techniques,expeditious homeostasis,proper management of stump pancreas and the prevention of pancreatic and bile leakage are essential.

To search for potent drugs against non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC),a series of hybrids(9a-9e, 10a-10e and 11a-11e﹚ from anilinopyrimidines and diazeniumdiolates were designed and synthesized.The MTT assay was employed to evaluate their antiproliferative activity against H1975 cells harboring epithelial growth factor receptor(EGFR)L858R/T790M mutation.The results showed that compounds 9a-9e displayed remarkable inhibitory activity on H1975 cells.Among these compounds, the most potent was compound 9b(IC50=0.65 μmol/L),which was superior to the positive control gefitinib.Additionally,molecular docking study indicated that 9b could bind with EGFR T790M by forming hydrogen bond, electrostatic interactions, et al, suggesting that compound 9b may be a potential anti-NSCLC agent for further investigation.

As an immediate-early protein of herpes simplex virus, infected-cell polypeptide 0 (ICP0) exhibits complicated interactions with host cells, and its regulatory function on gene expression is of great importance. Since the ICP0 encoding sequence contains many rare codons which are absent in E.coli, and ICP0 is highly unstable in prokaryotic cells, expression of entire ICP0 in prokaryotic cells has never been reported. In order to further investigate the function of ICP0, a recombinant plasmid was constructed by subcloning a cDNA fragment encoding an amino-terminal of 105 residues of the ICP0 protein into pGEX-5x-1 vector. The resulting GST-105 fusion antigen peptide was expressed with high efficiency in E.coli. Antibodies prepared after the immunization of mice with purified fusion protein can recognize not only the denatured ICP0 protein, but also the native ICP0 protein with normal biological conformation.

Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) E2 protein eukaryotic expression plasmid pVAXE2 was constructed. The plasmid pVAXE2 was transformed into Salmonella choleraesuis C500 (S. C500) attenuated vaccine strain by electroporation to generate Salmonella choleraesuis engineering strain S. C500/pVAXE2. The characterization of S. C500/pVAXE2 in morphology, growth, biochemistry and serology indicated that it retained the same properties as its original strain S. C500 with exception of kanamycin resistance originated from the plasmid pVAXE2. The plasmid stable in the bacteria after 15 passages. Kunming mice and rabbits were vaccinated three times at two weeks interval with S. C500/pVAXE2 in oral and intramuscular routes at the dosage of 1 x 10(8) CFU for mice and 2 x 10(9) CFU for rabbits each time. The specific antibody response against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis was detected by ELISA. Two weeks after the third boost the immunized rabbits were challenged with 20 ID50 of hog cholera lapinized virus (HCLV), followed by a virulent strain of Salmonella choleraesuis two week later than HCLV challenge. The results showed that all immunized mice and rabbits produced significant antibodies against CSFV and Salmonella choleraesuis, and the immunized rabbits demonstrated the effective protection against the challenge of HCLV and virulent Salmonella choleraesuis. These results indicated the potential of developing multiplex swine DNA vaccine by using this bacteria as the vector.

In order to provide plenty of information about the relationship between its structure and function,the structure of a novel housefly pupae D-galactose binding lectin with the molecular weight 55kDa and immune acitivity was analyzed preliminarily.In the first place,oligosaccharide chain was confirmed to be existed in this kind of novel housefly pupae lectin by the method of gel staining,and then its structure was analyzed with the help of protein sequencing instrument,spectrophotometer color contrast,?-elimination reaction,infrared spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy.This kind lectin was a global-shaped monomer with the diameter 75 nm or so and the protein and oligosaccharide content 97.36% and 2.1% respectively.Peptide chain and oligosaccharide chain was linked by O-glycoside bond with the N-terminal blocked and the sugar ring alpinum type.All above was the reliable theory for further analysis of structure.

OBJECTIVE: To review the clinical data of pathological morphology, diagnosis, surgical treatment of cor triatriatum in 15 patients. METHODS: Fifteen patients with a mean age of (14.6+/-10.3) years (range from 6 months to 40 years) were performed operations under extracorporeal circulation. Fourteen of the patients had cor triatriatum sinister, and 1 had cor triatriatum dexter; 12 of the 15 patients had other cardiac abnormalities. The excision of the fibromuscular membrane was accomplished through a right atrial incision in all of the 14 cases, and the associated abnormalities were corrected at the same time. RESULTS: One patient died after the operation, and the other survivors had good outcome. CONCLUSION Operation is necessary if the diagnosis is clear. The patients generally have good prognosis. Surgical results of cor triatriatum depend on the complexity of associated defects and the adequacy of the repair.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the operative techniques and clinical results of the facial pedicled flap with vascular perforating branch of leg.

METHODSFrom May 1998 to January 2009,62 patients with soft tissue defects on the lower limbs were treated by four kinds of flap pedicled with the medial, posterior,anterolateral and posterolateral vascular perforating branches in the leg, included 50 males and 12 females, aged from 7 to 78 years old. There were 23 cases of the facial pedicled flap based on the perforating branch of the tibialis posterior artery, 9 cases of the facial pedicled flap based on the distal perforating branch of peroneal artery, 22 cases of the facial pedicled flap based on the peroneal artery perforator, 8 cases of the facial pedicled flap based on the lateral popliteal cutaneous artery.

RESULTSThe remaining flaps were completely survived except for 2 cases with epidermal necrosis and scab of distal flap, and 1 case with skin necrosis and skingrafting later. The patients were followed-up for from 1 month to 3 years, the appearance of the flaps were satisfied and the function were good.

CONCLUSIONThe blood supply area of single perforator vascular of the leg is insufficient, so the presence facial pedicled flap of arterial chains will expend obviously the area of perforator flap that be good to blood supply and venous return.
