The interaction between the anti-Ractopamine (Rac) monoclonal antibody and the Rac derivation immobilized on the sensor chip surface was studied with surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. A continuous detection method based on the linear response during the association phase was developed. The sensor chip surface was regenerated after several tests performed continuously, thus the detection step was simplified and the life span of the chip was prospected to be prolonged. The detection was performed as an inhibitive immunoassay. The mixture of anti-Rac monoclonal antibody and the sample flowed over the surface with Rac derivation was immobilized. The relative response was in inversely proportion to the concentration of Rac. The detection limit was less than 4 μg/L with a detection time of 15 min.

OBJECTIVETo study the gene expression profiles of traumatic occlusion in early stage with the animal model of rats.

METHODSThe occlusal surface of the upper left first molar of rat was raised by placing a stainless steel wire to induce occlusal trauma in the lower left first molar. After 24 hours, the alveolar bone tissue of the first molars at the both sides of rats' lower jaws were taken out under anesthesia. The different expressive genes were shown by genome-wide microarray, which comprises about 27 000 genes and analyzed the different expressive genes with Pathway and GO analysis, finally the results of the microarray were examined by real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

RESULTSIn the results of the study, 586 different expressions were found, of which the expressions of 166 genes increased and 420 genes decreased. 106 different pathways were involved with Pathway analysis and 270 different functional classification related to GO analysis.

CONCLUSIONThe balance of the lower alveolar bone is destroyed after 24 hours of traumatic occlusion. At early phase of the occlusal trauma, osteogenesis and bone formation in alveolar bone are inhibited, yet osteoblast genesis and bone resorption are not significant.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum fatty acid binding protein(FABP)1,FABP2 and diabetic kidney disease(DKD)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)and its diagnostic value.Methods A total of 170 patients with T2DM diagnosed and treated in this hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the research objects.According to urinary albumin to creatinine ratio(UACR),they were divided into non-DKD group(UACR<30 mg/g,72 cases)and DKD group(UACR≥30 mg/g,98 cases).A total of 60 healthy people in the same hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between serum FABP1,FABP2 and renal function related indicators.Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing fac-tors of DKD.Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of serum FABP1 and FABP2 for DKD.Results The DKD group had significantly higher serum levels of FABP1 and FABP2 than the non-DKD group and the control group(P<0.05),and the non-DKD group had significantly higher serum levels of FABP1 and FABP2 than the control group(P<0.05).Compared with the non-DKD group,the DKD group had a significantly lower eGFR and significantly higher UACR,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,and serum uric acid levels(P<0.05).Serum FABP1 and FABP2 levels were positively correla-ted with UACR,serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,and negatively correlated with eGFR(P<0.05).In-creased serum FABP1 and FABP2 levels were independent risk factors for DKD.The serum FABP1,FABP2 joint detection diagnosis efficiency was better than that of serum FABP1,FABP2 detection alone(Z=4.712,4.363,P=0.001,0.002).Conclusion The serum levels of FABP1 and FABP2 are increased in patients with DKD,and they are related to the degree of renal function damage,which are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DKD in patients with T2DM.The combined detection of FABP1 and FABP2 has a high diagnos-tic efficiency for the occurrence of DKD in patients with T2DM.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the feature of cranial nerve involvement in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) and its relationship with the prognosis. METHOD: A total of 1892 patients who were diagnosed as NPC in our hospital from January 2002 to December 2003, of which the cranial nerve involvement was 183 (9.6%) patients, were analyzed the effect of cranial nerve involvement on the prognosis. RESULT: The percentage of cranial nerve involvement was 9.4%. The 5 year overall survival rate was 61.0%, disease free survival rate was 55.3%, local relapse free survival rate was 75.2% and distant metastasis free survival rate was 73.4%. Periods of cranial nerve involvement, clinical stage, the diameter of the lymph nodes, involvement of cavernous sinus, and the level of the recovery of cranial nerve involvement were significantly associated with prognosis in univariate analysis(P < 0.05). With multivariate analysis, the recovery level of cranial nerve involvement was the independent factor that affected the 5-year overall survival (RR = 2.087). The diameter of the lymph nodes and involvement of cavernous sinus were the independent factors that affected the 5-year distant metastasis-free survival (RR = 1.954 and 2.136, respectively). CONCLUSION Periods of cranial nerve involvement and the level of the recovery of cranial nerve involvement were significantly correlated with prognosis. Involvement of cavernous sinus could increase the rate of distant metastasis.

At present, the main treatment strategy for acute ischemic stroke is to recanalize the occluded blood vessels through drug or endovascular interventional therapy, and to save the ischemic penumbra is the key of the treatment, but due to the factors such as time window and indications, some patients cannot benefit from them. NeuroFlo technology can redistribute blood flow in body, increase intracranial blood supply, promote the establishment of collateral circulation around infarctions, effectively save ischemic penumbra, and ultimately improve the long-term prognosis of patients.

BACKGROUND:Abnormal extracellular matrix accumulation and excessive proliferation of fibroblasts are the main manifestations of pathological scars.Excessive proliferation of fibroblasts leads to the production of large amounts of collagen-based extracellular matrix.Therefore,to investigate the role of fibroblast fibrosis in the formation of pathological scar will provide a new idea for revealing the mechanism of pathological scar and biological therapy. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of RAS-selective lethal small molecule 3(RSL3)on the fibrosis of human pathological scar fibroblasts. METHODS:Then cases of pathological scar tissue and normal skin tissue samples from the same individuals,provided by the Department of Burn Plastic Surgery,General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University,were collected.Fibroblasts of human pathological scar and human normal skin were extracted and used in the following experiments.The general condition of the pathological scar tissue and the normal skin tissue was detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The appearance of fibroblasts from pathological scar and normal skin were observed by inverted microscope.The fibroblasts were verified by immunofluorescence assay.The cells were treated with different concentrations of RSL3(1,3,5,7,9,11,13 μmol/L).The inhibitory concentration of RSL3 on fibroblasts was detected by cell counting kit-8.Control group(without treatment)and RSL3 intervention group(treated with 7 μmol/L RSL3 for 24 hours)were set up.The mRNA and protein expressions of glutathione peroxidase 4,type Ⅰ collagen,type Ⅲ collagen and α-smooth muscle actin were detected by Qrt-PCR and western blot,respectively.Level of malondialdehyde in cells was detected.The residual scratch area was measured by cell scratch test after 24 hours to calculate the percentage of residual scratch area. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 in the pathological scar group was higher than that in the normal skin group(Mrna:t=3.252,P<0.01;protein:t=5.075,P<0.01).The expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 in the pathological scar fibroblast group was higher than that in the normal skin fibroblast group(Mrna:t=10.32,P<0.01;protein:t=26.22,P<0.01).Compared with the control group,the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 was decreased(Mrna:t=2.798,P<0.05;protein:t=4.643,P<0.01),the content of malondialdehyde was increased(t=2.917,P<0.05),the expression of type Ⅰ collagen(Mrna:t=15.84,P<0.01;protein:t=4.610,P<0.01),type Ⅲ collagen(Mrna:t=28.86,P<0.01;protein:t=7.713,P<0.01)and α-smooth muscle actin(Mrna:t=2.671,P<0.05;protein:t=7.417,P<0.01)were decreased in the RSL3 intervention group.Compared with the control group,the migration ability was weakened in the RSL3 intervention group(t=14.06,P<0.01).To conclude,RSL3 can inhibit the expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 and then inhibit the ability of fibrosis and migration of pathological scar fibroblasts.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of using 8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) in blood and urine samples as biomarkers for the evaluation of human DNA oxidative damage caused by diesel exhaust(DE). METHODS: A convenient sampling method was used to select 56 male workers exposed to DE in a car manufacturing factory as exposure group, and 52 male workers without exposure to DE were selected as the control group.Urine samples and blood samples were collected from workers in the 2 groups 8 hours after work, and the levels of 8-OHdG in urine and plasma were measured by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer. RESULTS: The median level of urinary 8-OHdG in the exposure group was higher than that of control group(2.54 vs 2.03 μg/g Cr, P<0.05). The median levels of plasma 8-OHdG in the exposure group and control group showed no statistical significance(32.20 vs 31.40 ng/L, P>0.05). CONCLUSION: The urinary 8-OHdG can be used as a biomarker for evaluating the oxidative damage induced by DE exposure.
