1.Progress in the studies on gene vectors and gene transfection
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2008;31(5):312-316
Gene vector is defined as a tool which can carry and transfer gene or other nucleic acid material into cells. Its chemical nature can be protein or polypeptide, nucleic acid, lipide, carbohydrate, and other polar molecule or its compound. As an.important part of gene therapy, gene delivery system is also the bottleneck of gene therapy. There are two existent gene vectors defined as viral vectosr and non-viral vectors. Generally, high transfection efficiency can be achieved by the application of viral vectors. But the application of viral vectors has been restricted by its immunogenicity and mutngenic potential as side effects. As a novel gene delivery system, non-viral vectors have the advantages of low toxicity, low immunogenicity, and relative targeting effect. This article provides a review on the latest research progress about various kinds of vectors.

Journal of Jilin University(Medicine Edition) 2015;(6):1245-1248
Objective To explore the effect of dexmedetomidine on the stress and immunologic function in the patients undergoing uterectomy,and to provide an evidence for the medication in clinical anesthesia.Methods A total of 60 hysteromyoma patients who needed uterectomy were selected.All the patients were in ASAⅠ-Ⅱlevel. The patients were divided into observation group (n=30)and control group (n=30)according to administration of different types of drugs. Before anesthesia, the patients in observation group were given dexmedetomidine (l μg·kg-1 )with a concentration of 4 g· L-1 for 10 min,while the patients in control group were given equal normal saline.The induction was performed 10 min after infusion pump.Sevoflurane and fentanyl were used for maintaining during the anesthesia.The blood samples of the patients in two groups before entering the operation room (T0),2 h after operation (T1),and extubation after operation (T2)were collected.The serum cortisol (COR)and interleukin-2 (IL-2)concentrations,plasma T lymphocyte subpopulations and NK levels were detected. Results The differences of COR and IL-2 concentrations at T0 between two groups were not statistically significant (P >0.05).The COR concentrations at T2 in two groups were significantly higher than those at T0 (P <0.05). The COR concentration at T2 in observation group was significantly lower than that in control group (P <0.05). The serum IL-2 concentration was gradually decreased with the prolongation of time observation in two groups.The serum IL-2 concentration in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (P <0.05).The differences of CD3+ ,CD4+ ,CD8+ ,CD4+/ CD8+ ,and NK levels at T0 between two groups were not statistically significant (P >0.05).The differences of CD8+ level in each time point between two groups were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).The CD3+ ,CD4+ ,CD4+/ CD8+ , and NK levels at T1 and T2 in control group were significantly lower than those at T0 (P < 0.05 ). The CD3+ , CD4+ , CD4+/ CD8+ , and NK levels at T2 in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group (P <0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine assisting anesthesia can alleviate the postoperative stress reaction,and reduce the effect of anesthesia and operation wound on the cellular immune function.It is beneficial for the postoperative rehabilitation.

China Pharmacist 2015;(2):271-272,279
Objective:To investigate the effects of fluvastatin on high-sensitivity c-reactive protein( hs-CRP) , tumor necrosis fac-tor-α(TNF-α), urine albumer excretion rate (UAER)and serum creatinine (Cr) in the patients with early diabetic nephropathy. Methods:Totally 69 patients with early diabetic nephropathy were randomly divided into the observation group with 34 cases and the control group with 35 cases. The observation group was treated by low-protein diet plus fluvastatin, and the control group was treated by low-protein diet only. The course of treatment was 8 weeks. Totally 65 nondiabetic persons were selected as the normal group, and the levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP, UAER, ALT and Cr were detected before and after the treatment. Results:The levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP and UAER in the observation group and the control group were significantly higher than those in the normal group(P<0. 05);the lev-els of ALT and Cr showed no significant differences (P>0. 05). Compared with that before the treatment, the level of UAER was de-creased significantly in the control group after the treatment (P<0. 05), and the levels of TNF-α and hs-CRP showed no significant differences after the treatment (P>0. 05). In the observation group, the levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP and UAER were all decreased sig-nificantly after the treatment (P<0. 05). Conclusion:UAER, hs-CRP and TNF-α are closely connected with diabetic nephropathy. Fluvastatin can decrease the levels of TNF-α, hs-CRP and UAER. Low-protein diet plus fluvastatin is effective and safe in the treat-ment of early diabetic nephropathy, and the efficacy is superior to that of low-protein diet only.
