Objective:To analyze quantitatively individual baseline drift of immunoglobulin and complement within 24 h.Methods:Blood samples were drawn from adult volunteers on day 1 and day 2 at 7.00 am.Immunoglobulin and complement including IgG,IgA,IgM and C3,C4 were measured with automatic immunobiochemistry analyzer.The rate of changes between two times of measured value,baseline drift,could be calculated.Results:The individual baseline drifts of measured values were from 6.12% to 7.97% (mean=7.22%) in 5 immunological parameters.There were significations between two groups within 5 immunological parameters (P

Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) plays important roles in varieties of biological processes. This factor is highly conserved in mammalian animals and only one heterozygous LIF mutation was reported to cause the infertility of women. A LIF mutation was generated and the evidences were provided that the mutation of mature LIF at the 29th amino acid totally abolished its functions, including stimulation of STAT activation assayed by Luciferase reporter gene expression and EMSA experiments. In addition, the mutated LIF failed to inhibit the proliferation of M1 cells. The data indicated that the mutation of LIF did not have a dominant negative effect but lost the biological functions, suggesting that the 29th amino acid is critical for maintaining the activities of LIF.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of Shuxuetong injection in the treatment of acute cerebral infarc-tion (ACI). METHODS:110 patients with ACI were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Control group was given mannitol,aspirin,atorvastatin,antidiabetic drugs and other conventional treatment;observation group was additionally given Shuxuetong injection 6 ml adding into 0.9% Sodium chloride solution 250 ml by intravenous infusion,3 times a day. The ef-ficacy in 2 groups was evaluated after 15 d,and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score,neuron specific eno-lase(NSE),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)levels before and after treatment and the incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were recorded. RESULTS:After treatment,NIHSS score,NSE,hs-CRP and TNF-αin 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statisti-cally significant(P<0.05);total effective rate in observation group was significantly higher than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). There was no obvious adverse reactions in 2 groups during treatment. CONCLUSIONS:Based on the conventional treatment,Shuxuetong injection has good efficacy and safety in the treatment of ACI.

The gating mechanical kinetical of ion channels has been modeled as a Markov process. In these models it is assumed that the channel protein has a small number of discrete conformational states and kinetic rate constants connecting these states are constant, the transition rate constants among the states is independent both of time and of the previous channel activity. It is assumed in Liebovitch's fractal model that the channel exists in an infinite number of energy states, consequently, transitions from one conductance state to another would be governed by a continuum of rate constants. In this paper, a statistical comparison is presented of Markov and fractal models of ion channel gating, the analysis is based on single-channel data from ion channel voltage-dependence K+ single channel of neuron cell and simulation data from three-states Markov model.

Near-infrared (NIR)-light-triggered nanomedicine, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photothermal therapy (PTT), is growing an attractive approach for cancer therapy due to its high spatiotemporal controllability and minimal invasion, but the tumor eradication is limited by the intrinsic anti-stress response of tumor cells. Herein, we fabricate a tumor-microenvironment responsive CRISPR nanoplatform based on oxygen-deficient titania (TiO_2-x ) for mild NIR-phototherapy. In tumor microenvironment, the overexpressed hyaluronidase (HAase) and glutathione (GSH) can readily destroy hyaluronic acid (HA) and disulfide bond and releases the Cas9/sgRNA from TiO_2-x to target the stress alleviating regulators, i.e., nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and heat shock protein 90α (HSP90α), thereby reducing the stress tolerance of tumor cells. Under subsequent NIR light illumination, the TiO_2-x demonstrates a higher anticancer effect both in vitro and in vivo. This strategy not only provides a promising modality to kills cancer cells in a minimal side-effects manner by interrupting anti-stress pathways but also proposes a general approach to achieve controllable gene editing in tumor region without unwanted genetic mutation in normal environments.
