Objective To establish a tandem affinity purification(TAP) system of innate immune-regulatory protein PKR and analyze PKR function, for the future screen and identification of novel PKR-interaction proteins. Methods PKR gene was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into a mammalian expression vector pcTAP-A. Recombinant pcTAP-PKR was transfected into PKR knock-down(PKRkd) HeLa cells by LipofectAMINE 2000,and the PKR overexpressed HeLa cells were harvested for mitogen-activated protein kinases(MAPK) activation analysis. Cell extracts of PKR overexpressed cells were purified using TAP kit and examined by Western blot. Results Cal modulin resin(CBP) and streptavidin resin(SBP) tagged PKR was detected in PKRkd HeLa cells as early as 24 h upon transfection with pcTAP-PKR, and its expression decreased at later time points. The overexpression of PKR was autophosphorylated, and thus involved in the regulation of MAPK actviation. After small-scale TAP kit purification, PKR protein was detectable by Western blot. Conclusion We have successfully established a TAP system that over-expresses functional PKR, providing a useful tool for the future study on the identification of PKR interacting proteins.

Objective To investigate the correlation between procalcitonin (PCT) and infarct related artery (IRA) spontaneous recanalization (SR) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and to investigate the value of PCT in predicting SR. Methods A retrospective study was conducted. A total of 263 STEMI patients who received emergency coronary angiography from January 2013 to April 2016 in cardiology department of Gansu Provincial Hospital were retrospectively included. Depending on the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction trial (TIMI) grade, the patients were divided into two groups, SR group (TIMI 2-3 grade) and non-SR group (NSR group, TIMI 0-1 grade). The baseline characteristics, serum PCT, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and biochemical makers before primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were compared. According to the value of PCT, the patients were divided into four quartile groups. SR rate of every groups were compared. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent predictor of SR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to assess the diagnostic value of PCT for SR. Results In 263 STEMI patients, SR occurred in 77 patients and SR rate was 29.3%. There were no statistical differences in gender, age, body mass index (BMI), past medical history and IRA between the two groups, indicating that the baseline characteristics were matched. Compared with NSR group, utilization rate of the statins were significantly higher (35.1% vs. 22.6%, P < 0.05), the value of PCT, hs-CRP, uric acid (UA) in SR group were significantly lower [PCT (μg/L): 0.059±0.036 vs. 0.103±0.048, hs-CRP (mg/L): 3.07±4.13 vs. 5.93±7.80, UA (mmol/L): 321.4±77.4 vs. 354.2±114.1, all P < 0.05]. The quartile value of PCT were < 0.058, 0.058-0.078, 0.079-0.110, > 0.110 μg/L. SR rate were 48.5% (32/66), 29.9% (20/67), 26.9% (18/67) and 11.1% (7/63), respectively. SR rate of Quartile 1 was significantly higher than the other three groups (all P < 0.05). It was shown by multiple logistic regression analysis that PCT [odds ratio (OR) = 0.432, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 0.108-0.863, P = 0.016], hs-CRP (OR = 0.708, 95%CI = 0.516-0.905, P = 0.037) were independent predictors for SR. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of PCT for predicting SR was greater than that of hs-CRP [0.784 (95%CI = 0.721-0.847) vs. 0.686 (95%CI = 0.619-0.753), P < 0.05]. When the cut-off value of PCT was 0.067 μg/L, the sensitivity was 81.6%, and the specificity was 66.7%. Conclusion PCT was independent predictor of SR, which has a power value in predicting IRA recanalization in patients with STEMI.

Objective To assess the early prognosis of 117 patients after carduopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in ICU by using the markers of inflammation,Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) scores.Methods A total of 117 CPR patients admitted between 2010 January to 2012 December were enrolled for study.Within 24 h after admission,inflammatory markers,blood routine items,hepatorenal function,electrolytes of blood were measured.The GCS and APACHE Ⅱ scores were recorded.Arterial blood gas analyses were performed at 0,12,and 24 h after hospitalization,and the 12-h and 24-h lactate clearance rates were calculated.Seven days after treatment,according to the outcomes,the patients were divided into survival group and death group,and the clinical data of two groups were analyzed.Results (1) Of them,73 patients died and 44 survived.Factor analysis showed that age,time elapsed from resuscitation to ICU admission,D-dimer,arterial oxygenation index (FiO2),arterial blood pH,arterial blood lactate concentration upon ICU admission,GCS score and APACHE Ⅱ score were significantly different between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05or P ＜ 0.01); (2) Two classification logistic regression analysis showed that D-Dimer,GCS score and APACHE Ⅱ score significantly correlated with the mortality risk of the patients in the wake of CPR with relative odds ratios of 1.000,2.091,and 0.531,respectively (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01) ; (3) Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve of GCS (0.821) and APACHE Ⅱ (0.869) had higher predictive value than D-dimer (0.655).The highest accuracy (84.6％) in predicting patient survival was achieved when the GCS score was 6.5.Meanwhile,the highest accuracy (82.1％) in predicting patient death was achieved when the APACHE Ⅱ score was 17.5.Conclusions Both GCS score and APACHE Ⅱ score has obvious correlation with the prognosis of the critically ill patients after CPR and could be used to predict prognosis at early stage.
