OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regularity of Chinese patent medicine prescriptions for Qi deficiency and blood sta-sis syndrome (QDBSS),and to provide reference for studying QDBSS diagnosis standard and new TCM for related symptoms. METHODS:Chinese patent medicine for QDBSS were collected from Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition) and Chinese Mate-ria Medica Preparation(1993 version). The regularity of Chinese patent medicine prescriptions and symptom association rule were analyzed by using TCM inheritance auxiliary system (V2.5). RESULTS:Among the 171 symptoms,chest tightness,shortness of breath,chest pain,fatigue and palpitation were common symptoms,and three groups of symptoms were included as chest tight-ness-shortness of breath-chest pain-palpitation-irregularly pulse;mouth and eye deviation-numbness of hands and feet-hemiple-gia-stiff tongue-spasm;hypomenorrhea-irregular menstruation-abdominal mass-dysmenorrheal. One hundred and thirty-one Chinese patent medicines included 304 ingredients,top 5 in the list of frequency were Astragalus membranaceus,Salvia militiorrhiza,An-gelica sinensis,Ligusticum chuanxiong,Panax ginseng. A. membranaceus- A. sinensis,L. chuanxiong-A. sinensis,S. militiorrhi-za-A. membranaceus,L. chuanxiong- A. membranaceus and L. chuanxiong-S. militiorrhiza were frequently used herbal combina-tions. A. membranaceus-A. sinensis-L. chuanxiong-S. militiorrhiza-P. ginseng-Carthamus tinctorius-Panax notoginseng was the core combination. A new prescription for QDBSS was formed (P. ginseng-Radix Paeoniae Rubra-borneol-Gastrodia elata-artificial moschus-Myristica fragrans). CONCLUSIONS:QDBSS has common symptoms which exist in many kinds of diseases,such as chest tightness,chest pain and shortness of breath;it also has the unique symptoms among various diseases. Invigorating Qi and promoting blood circulation is the basic treatment for the QDBSS. It is of significance to pay attention to"supplement by passing, combination of pass and supplement"and combine regulating Qi-flowing method with enriching blood method or aromatic warming method for QDBSS therapy according to the differ-ence of Zhengxie shengshuai.

Objective To establish a cell line stably expressing the human CD36 by using TA clo-ning and cell transfection technology and to analyze its application to the detection of anti-CD36 antibodies. Methods Total RNA was isolated from human platelets and then used to synthesize complementary DNA ( cDNA) . Sequence of the gene encoding CD36 on human platelets was obtained by PCR amplification. The recombinant vector was transformed into TOP10 E. coli after TA cloning. The positive recombinant pcDNA3. 1/V5-CD36 plasmid was screened out by blue-white selection and then sequenced.

OBJECTIVE: To construct eukaryotic expression vectors for human platelet CD36 gene 220 C>T and 429+4insg variants and analyze their expressions in HEK293T cells. METHODS: RNA was isolated from human platelets and reversely transcribed into cDNA. Sequences of 220C>T and 429+4insg variants were derived by PCR amplification. The target sequence was ligated into a pcDNA3.1/V5-His-TOPO vector by TA cloning, which was transformed into TOP10 E. coli. Positive plasmids were screened by blue-white selection. After sequencing, plasmid DNA carrying 220C>T or 429+4insg variant was used to transfect HEK293T cells with the help of effectene. Expression of CD36 protein was then analyzed by flow cytometry and Western blotting. RESULTS: An eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1/V5-His-CD36 (220C>T/429+4insg) was constructed by TA cloning. After transfected into HEK293T cells, the 220C>T and 429+4insg variants resulted in CD36 deficiency in HEK cells, which was confirmed by flow cytometry and Western blotting. CONCLUSION The 220C>T and 429+4insg variants can cause CD36 deficiency in human platelets. This system may be used for assessing the effect of 220C>T, 429+4insg, and other variants on the expression of CD36.

Antibodies against human CD36 are responsible for several immune-mediated disorders. The detection of anti-CD36 antibodies using the standard monoclonal antibody (mAb) immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA) assay is hampered by a high frequency of false-negative results, most likely due to competitive inhibition of the mAb used as the capture antibody. We generated a panel of mouse mAbs against CD36 and seven hybridomas (GZ-3, GZ-13, GZ-70, GZ-143, GZ-413, GZ-507, and GZ-608), which were selected for MAIPA assays, as they reacted with mouse and human CD36. Fourteen anti-CD36 sera were assayed; all of which showed a positive reaction in a PakPlus (Immucor GTI Diagnostics, Inc., Waukesha, WI, USA) ELISA-based screening (optical density: 0.257–2.292). When the reference anti-CD36 mAb FA6-152 was used in the MAIPA assay, only 6/14 (42.9%) sera displayed a positive reaction. In contrast, anti-CD36 antibodies were detected in 13/14 (92.9%) sera when GZ-70 and GZ-608 mAbs were used. This significant improvement resulted in the identification of anti-CD36 antibodies by an antigen capture assay. Since patient’s platelets possibly carrying rare native antigens are used, this method will facilitate the identification of new platelet antibodies against CD36 that are involved in immune-mediated thrombocytopenia and other diseases, such as transfusion-related acute lung injury.

Objective To analyze the structure of CD36,search the possible B cell epitopes and prepare multi-antigen peptides(MAP)with B cell epitopes,so as to provide a preliminary experimental basis for the preparation of CD36 antibod-ies using MAP with B cell epitopes.Methods The potential B cell epitopes of CD36 were analyzed by bioinformatics meth-ods,including physical and chemical properties,secondary structure,potential phosphorylation and glycosylation sites.Eight-branch MAP with CD36 B cell epitopes were synthesized by FMOC using polylysine as the core matrix.The purity of MAPs was analyzed by reverse high-performance liquid chromatography chromatography(RP-HPLC),and the molecular weight of MAPs was determined by mass spectrometry.Results CD36 is a stable and hydrophilic alkaline protein,with multiple phosphorylation and glycosylation sites and strong antigenicity,and its secondary structure is mainly characterized by irregular curls.Four potential B cell epitopes were obtained and 4 MAPs containing potential B cell epitopes were pre-pared.RP-HPLC analysis showed that the purity of the MAPs were above 85%,and the molecular weight of 3 MAPs was consistent with the expected theoretical molecular weight.Conclusion CD36 on platelet has strong antigenicity.MAPs con-taining CD36 B cell epitopes can provide the experimental basis for the preparation and related research of CD36 antibodies.
