Objective To determine the content of cholesterol in Gekko Gecko.Methods High performance liquid chromatography was performed on Hypersil ODS2 (4.6 mm?150 mm,5 ?m).The chromatorgraphic conditions were as follows:methanol as mobile phase,flow rate being 1.0 mL/min and detecting wavelength at 208 nm.The column temperature was 40 ℃.Results A good linearity of cholesterol was shown in range of 0.885～14.000 ?g (r=0.999 5),the average recovery was 99.65%,RSD=3.45% (n=6).Conclusions This method is simple,rapid and accurate,and may provide a reliable way for the quantification of cholesterol in Gekko Gecko.

Pichia pastoris is a new eukaryotic expression system with great potentials, has unexampled advantages in expressing the heterologous proteins and has gotten more and more wide application. The following aspects were described in detail: the advantages of Pichia pastoris in the expression of heterologous genes, the mechanism of the heterologous gene integrations, the glycosylation of the expressed protein and the modification of the post-translated protein.

Purpose To clarify the morphological parameter and describe the distance from the insertion of the lateral ankle ligaments to the adjacent bony landmarks through precisely anatomical explore of human cadaveric ankles,so as to provide anatomical evidences for the reconstruction of lateral ankle ligaments.Methods Nineteen ankle specimens were dissected to isolate the lateral ankle ligaments and measure the morphological parameters such as length,width,thickness and the distance from the insertion of the lateral ankle ligaments to the adjacent bony landmarks.Results The average length of anterior talofibular ligaments (ATFL) was 23.1 ± 2.98 mm,among which 8 were single-banded(42.1％)and 11 were double-banded(57.9％).The average distance from the fibular origination of ATFL to the anterior tubercle of fibula(AA)was 17.1 ± 3.00 mm,to the fibular obscure tubercle(AO)was 5.1 ± 1.69 mm,to the tip of the fibula(AT)was 14.1 ± 2.86 mm.The distances from the talus insertion of ATFL to the superior and inferior talus articular surface were 11.4 ± 2.25 mm and 18.4 ± 2.30 mm respectively,to the anterior lateral talus chondral surface was 4.8 ± 1.42 mm.The average length of calcaneofibular ligament(CFL)was 31.4 ± 3.55 mm.The average distance of the fibular origination from ATFL to CFL was 6.4 ± 2.55 mm.The average angle between ATFL and CFL was 116.6 ± 12.69°.The distance from the calcaneus insertion of CFL to the peroneal tubercle(CP)was 15.4 ± 2.86 mm,to the posterior superior border of calcaneus(CC)was 13.9 ± 2.46 mm,to the subtalar joint surface was 15.2 ± 3.21 mm.The coefficient variation assessing the anatomical reliability of different bony landmarks were as follows:ATFL fibular origination AA(17.54％) ＜AT(20.28％) ＜ AO(33.14％),CFL calcaneus insertion CC(17.70％)＜CP(18.57％)＜CS(21.1％).Conclusion Certain variations exist in the morphological parameters and the distances from the insertion of the lateral ankle ligaments to the adjacent bony landmarks.It provides anatomical evidence for lateral ankle ligament reconstruction in treating chronic ankle instability.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of gallbladder wall thickening diseases.Methods 42 patients with gallbladder wall thickening (16 patients with carcinoma and 26 patients with benign lesion) were included in this study.All patients performed conventional MRI and DWI.The diagnostic performances of three methods (conventional MRI,visual assessment of color fusion image from DWI and T2WI,and ADC measurement) were evaluated by two radiologists.Results The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were 0.570,0.849,0.901 for conventional MRI,visual assessment and ADC measurement respectively.The accuracy,sensitivity and specificity were 59.5%,62.5%,57.7% for conventional MRI,85.7%,81.2%,88.5% for visual assessment of color fusion image,and 83.3%,80.0%,85.2% for ADC measurement,respectivily.The mean ADC value of gallbladder cacinoma[(1.15±0.35)×10-3mm2/s]was significantly less than that of gallbladder benign lesion [(1.99±0.61)×10-3mm2/s](P<0.01).Conclusion The DWI(visual assessment of color fusion image and ADC measurement)might be a useful tool for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of the gallbladder wall thickening diseases.

Toll like receptors (TLRs) are the earliest discovered natural immune pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). The abnormality of TLR signal transduction pathway is the key factor leading to chronic inflammatory, cancer, nervous system disease and cardiovascular diseases. The development of TLR agonists and inhibitors has attracted much attention. Currently known TLR2 agonists, such as lipopeptides or their derivatives, have certain limitations in drug development due to their difficult synthesis, easy hydrolysis, and triggering inflammatory cytokine storms, while inhibitors have been rarely reported. New small molecule TLR2 agonists or inhibitors with higher stability are more likely to be developed as tumor immunotherapy or anti-inflammatory drugs.

Objective To explore the change of serum zinc level of children with rotavirus(RV) enteritis and efficacy of zinc supplementation on children with rotaviral enteritis.Methods One thousand one hundred and eighty-three healthy children were enrolled in this study,who were divided into different groups,and the zinc levels of children in every different age group were detected.These levels were used as normal levels of children in Dongguan district.One hundred and forty-three diarrhea patients in this 2 years were enrolled.Confirmed dia-gnosis was depended on the RV test in patients′ stool.The children with diarrhea were randomly divided into zinc treatment group (n=72) and conventional therapy group (n=71).The serum zinc levels in RV enteritis was analyzed.The patients in conventional therapy group were received diarrhea conventional therapy inchuded smectite and fluid infusion and so on;in addition to diarrhea conventional therapy,zinc gluconate 20 mg/d (10 mg/d below 6 months of age) for successive 14 days were given the patientsin zinc treatment group.The different efficacy of the 2 groups and the changes of serum zinc in treatment group were analyzed.Results Compared with normal children,the ones suffering from RV enteritis had lower serum zinc level(P0.05).Conclusions The ones suffering from RV enteritis have lower serum zinc level.In addition to diarrhea conventional therapy,giving zinc treatment has better effect on enhancing curative effect of RV enteritis.On the other hand,the suggestion of zinc supplement made by WHO is also suitable for Chinese children.
