Objective To investigate expression of recombinant adenovirus(rAV) vector-mediated report gene in kidney, and to seek for the best passway of rAV vector-mediated gene transfer in vivo.Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into 5 groups randomly. rAV-GFP(1013viral particales?L-1) was injected through different ways. 2, 7 and 14 d after injection, GFP expression in left kidney, right kidney, liver and lung was evaluated by fluorescence microscope and computer software. Results GFP gene expressed in kidey and reached peak 7 d after injection expression. Conclusion rAV vector-mediated report gene can be transducted in kidney. The rAV-mediated transgene expression in kidney is a potential strategy in the treatment of renal diseases.

The optimum convolution spectra of β-galactosidase and the linear equation of Qj=1.906×10-2＋4.946×10-3 C＋1.909×10-4 C2,r=1.0000 under the best condition were established by the convolution spectrum method.Based on the chromogenic substrate o-nitrophenyl-β-galactoside,a method for the determination ofβ-galactosidase activity in the COS-1 extraction sample which had been transfected transiently expression vector of β-galactosidase was determined by using the convolution curve transformation technology.The convolution spectrum method was compared with the absorption method and the result was satisfactory.The method was simple,convenient,fast and valuable to the biochemical analysis.

Objective: To qualitatively identify 5 chlorin metal complexes which had similar structures. Methods: The compounds were identified by the convolution curve transformation technology and computer information process technology. Results: The results were demonstrated by match comparison and three dimensional differential diagram of convolution spectra. Five chlorin metal complexes were identified satisfactorily and 10 nonidentity identification results were acquired. Conclusion: The convolution spectrum method is simple and feasible for the identification of the compounds which have similar structures. [

Objective To investigate the effects of remote preconditioning on inflammatory cytokines and respiratory index of rabbit lung injured by ischemia/reperfusion.Methods Eighteen rabbits were randomly divided into three groups(6 each):control group(C),ischemia-reperfusion group(I/R)and remote preconditioning group(R).The plasma concentrations of interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)and interleukin-10(IL-10)were measured before ischemia and 60,120 and 180 min after reperfusion.Respiratory index(A-aO2/PaO2)was calculated before ischemia and 15,30,60,120 and 180 min after reperfusion.The animals were sacrificed after reperfusion,and the left lung was removed for calculation of wet/dry(W/D)ratio and lung permeability index,histological examination was done with light microscope,and diffuse alveolar damage(DAD)scores was estimated.Results The plasma concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-? were significantly higher in I/R group than in C group(P

The present study visualized the knowledge map of research hotspots and changes of keywords by importing literatures from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000 ～ 2011) into CiteSpace.Analysis of the research hotspots (keywords),evolution of clinical nutrition,and front-line research based on tf-idf algorithm was then performed.

AIM: To evaluate the biological characteristics and differentiating potentials of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) from sensitized mice by allogeneic splenocyte transfusion in vitro.METHODS: Adherent culture method was applied for culturing the bone marrow-derived MSCs from sensitized mice.The cell morphology was examined and the surface marker profiles were analyzed by flow cytometry.The differentiating potentials of the MSCs into osteogenic,adipogenic and myogenic lineages were explored.The bone marrow-derived MSCs from the normal mice were collected and served as controls.RESULTS: Both the bone marrow-derived MSCs from sensitized and normal mice were exhibited a homogeneous distinctive morphology and were positive for the surface markers CD29,CD105,CD44 and Sca-1,negative in CD 34 and CD11b.The abilities of both MSCs to differentiate into osteogenic,adipogenic and myogenic pathways in the same condition were also observed.CONCLUSION: There is no difference in the biological characteristics and induced differentiating potentials between the sensitized mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs by allogeneic splenocytes transfusion and the MSCs from normal mice.

AIM:To investigate the effect of adenovirus-medicated decorin gene transfer into rat mesangial cells(RMCs)on the expression of decorin,TGF-?1 and the extracellular matrix(ECM)components.METHODS:Rat mesangial cells were transfected with recombinant adenovirus vector of decorin,the levels of mRNA for decorin,TGF-?1,collagen type IV and fibronectin were estimated by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.RESULTS:The transfection of AD-DCN significantly increased decorin mRNA expression compared with negative control(P

Objective To investigate the changes of protein kinase C(PKC) activity in peripheral blood T lymphocytes of the children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and the relationships between PKC activity and T lymphocytes activation and thrombocyte decrease.Methods Sterilized peripheral blood were collected from ITP children (n=35) and healthy children (n=30).T lymphocytes were isolated and purified by the T cell segregation enrichment column.The total PKC activity was detected by non-radioactive assay.FasL,the T cell activated marker,was determined by flow cytometer.Platelet count was performed by hematocytometer.Result Compared with healthy children,total PKC activity in ITP children was significantly enhanced (0.97?0.21 nmol/min.ml vs 0.60? 0.13 nmol/min.ml,?s,P

Objective To explore the role of protein kinase C(PKC) to regulate the activation of nuclear factor-?B(NF-?B)in T lymphocyte in children with acute idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).Methods Sterility peripheral blood was collected from acute ITP children(n=30)and healthy children(n=30).T lymphocytes were isolated and purified,and divided into 3 groups:control group,PMA group stimulated with PMA,PMA plus H-7 group stimulated with PMA and H-7.The expression of NF-?B and inhibitor protein-?B(I-?B)was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Western blot,respectively.Results The percentage of cells with active NF-?B was significantly higher and the expression level of I-?B was significantly lower in acute ITP PMA group than that in acute ITP control group and normal PMA group,respectively(all P
