Objective To construct a recombinant plasmid DNA containing herpes simplex virus type 1(HSV-1) glycoprotein D (gD) gene.Methods The HSV-1 gD gene was obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inserted into TA cloning vector pGEM-T, then cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 to generate pLy-D. The recombinant plasmid pLy-D, which was confirmed by partial sequencing and restriction endonuclease analysis, was transfected into Cos-7 cells and used to inoculate ICR mice via muscular injection. Immunohistochemistry and enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) were employed to test the gD expression in transfected cells and the specific anti-HSV-1 antibody in the serum of immunized mice, respectively.Results The gD eukaryotic expression plasmid pLy-D was constructed. Using the immunohistochemistry technique, the gD expression in pLy-D-transfected cells was detected. The ELISA demonstrated that specific anti-HSV-1 antibody could be induced in immunized mice after three times injection.Conclusions We constructed HSV-1 gD eukaryotic expression plasmid pLy-D which could express gD protein in transfected cells and could induce humoral immune response in mice. This observation will be helpful in designing HSV prophylactic vaccine.

Objective To investigate the relationship between rapists and related allele genes based on the analysis of 15 short tandem repeats (STRs) loci genetic polymorphism. Methods The method of Genome-wide scan was being used. Buccal swab samples of 129 rapists and 156 random populations were collected and PCR compound amplification was carried out with the aid of AmpFISTR Identifiler system. Then the products were subjected to electrophoresis and gene detection with AB13100 type gene analysis system so as to calculate and compare the alleles of 15 STRs gene frequency in the two groups. Results All the 15 STRs loci allele gene frequency in rapists and random population was found to coincide with Hardy-Weinberg law(P>0. 05). Allele 28 of D21S11 (rapists: 1.55% ,control group:5. 13%) ,allele22 of FGA(rapists:24.03% ,control group:16.99%),allele23 of FGA(rapists: 17.05% ,control group:26.28%) ,allele 10 of TH01(rapists:1.16% ,control group:4.17%) ,allele 8 of TPOX(rapists:55.77% ,control group:63.77%),allele 12 of TPOX(rapists:4.26% ,control group: 1.28%) were different between the two groups (P< 0.05) .while it is no differ significantly in other STRs loci allele gene(P >0.05). Conclusion Allele 28 of D21 S11,allele 22 and 23 of FGA, allele 10 of TH01, allele 8 and 12 of TPOX may be associated with the violent crime of rape. It is suggested that there are existing sensitive or resistance genes about the violent crime of rape in chromosome 2,4,11,21.

OBJECTIVE Disturbance of K+ ion balance in inner ear is associated in age-related hearing loss. Our study is to investigate the role of NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase in cochlea and auditory function regulated by with different expression of NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase. METHODS Auditory threshold of young or old C57BL/6J mice was measured by auditory brainstem response(ABR). The expression of NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase in mice cochlea were evaluated by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and western blotting. Furosemide and Ouabain were applied in vivo to inhibit NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase in C57BL/6J mice. RESULTS C57BL/6J mice developed hearing loss at 12M by ABR threshold shifting to (75±10), (78±26) and (81±14)dB SPL at frequencies of 8, 16 and 32 kHz; PCR showed that the relative expression of NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase mRNA in the aged group decreased, which were 0.52±0.06 and 0.35±0.04 times higher than those in the young control group, the difference was statistically significant(t =7.466 and 16.11, all P<0.05). WB showed that relative expression of NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase protein level in the aged group decreased by 0.79±0.02 and 0.68±0.05 times as much as that of the young control group, the difference was statistically significant(t =8.857 and 6.771, P all<0.05). After applied with Furosemide and Ouabain to suppress the two ion transporters, the ABR threshold increased to (50±17), (53±21), (55±17)dB SPL and (56±6), (70±17), (73±6)dB SPL at frequencies of 8, 16 and 32 kHz. CONCLUSION In vivo experiment of C57BL/6J suggested that NKCC1 and Na-K-ATPase might be related to age related hearing loss.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of free fibula flap transplantation in repairing the defect of mandibular osteoradionecrosis (ORN).Methods:A total of 151 mandibular ORN patients undergoing free fibular flap transplantation were selected from August 2005 to September 2020 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University. Among them, 109 patients were males and 42 patients were females, aged (54.1±10.1) (ranged 31-85) years old. The clinical data of the patients was collected and the survival rate of the flaps and postoperative function were calculated to evaluate the surgical efficacy. The χ 2 test was used for difference analysis. Results:Among the 151 patients, mandibular ORN caused by radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma accounted for 79.5% (120/151). The average time for mandibular ORN appeared was 5(6) years after radiotherapy. Facial artery [57.2%(87/152)] and superior thyroid artery [32.9%(50/152)] were the main anastomotic arteries in the recipient area. There was no significant difference in the necrosis rates of the two flaps [10.3%(9/87) and 12.5% (5/50), respectively, P=0.949]. The main anastomotic veins in the recipient area were the external jugular vein [48.4%(135/279)] and the common facial vein [26.5%(74/279)]. Twenty-five cases (16.6%) had one vein anastomosed, and 126 cases (83.44%) had two veins anastomosed. There was no significant difference in the flap necrosis rate between the two conditions [20.0%(5/25) and 7.1%(9/126), respectively, P=0.100]. Ninety-seven cases (64.2%) used the peroneal musculocutaneous-fascia composite flap to repair the maxillofacial soft and hard tissue defects. Thirteen cases (8.6%) underwent the restorations with digital virtual surgery design, of which 5 cases were repaired with dental implants at the same time. After the operations, lower respiratory tract infection occurred in 17 patients (11.3%), and upper respiratory tract obstruction occurred in 3 cases (2.0%). The survival rate of the flap after operation was 90.7% (136/151), and 21 patients (13.9%) had flap vascular crisis. Delayed healing of maxillofacial wounds occurred in 33 cases (21.9%). After 3 to 24 months of follow-ups, 110 patients (76.9%) had no fistula inside/outside the oral cavity, 118 patients (82.5%) had an improvement in opening mouth of increasing (≥0.5 cm) after surgery, 135 patients (94.4%) had pain relief, 97 cases (67.8%) could eat normal diet, semi-liquid or soft food, and 137 cases (95.8%) were satisfied or basically satisfied with the treatment effects. Conclusions:The free fibular flap transplantation is an effective method to repair mandibular ORN defects. Preoperative vascular assessment is helpful for the selection of recipient vessels. Facial artery, superior thyroid artery, external jugular vein and common facial vein can be used as the main recipient vessels. The repair of the peroneal musculocutaneous-fascia composite flap facilitates the closure of internal and external fistulas. Digital technology can help to restore the maxillofacial shape more accurately, improve the patient′s occlusal and chewing function and enhance the quality of life of mandibular ORN patients.
