The manipulation and direct mechanical measurement of single DNA molecule could give much information about its elastic properties. Single stranded DNA (ssDNA) of 100 bases was adsorbed onto flat gold surface fabricated by depositing gold onto mica surface. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to observe the surface topography with different ssDNA concentration. Then the ssDNAs were stretched by AFM tip and in 50% cases ssDNAs could be stretched.Various kinds of force curves have been observed due to the different interaction between AFM tip and ssDNAs.

Three candidate antisense target sites of mouse Fas gene were screened by PARASS (poly-A anchored RNA accessible sites screening) technology. They were target at Fas gene 297nt-317nt, 618nt- 638nt and 662nt-682nt. Antisense oligos (A1, A2 and A3) and DNAzymes (D1, D2, and D3) for every target site were designed and synthesized. In vitro, the validation of the sites were judged by antisense oligos included RNase H splicing and the DNAzyme degradation. The results indicated that A1, A2 and A3 introduced RNase H degradation. DNAzymes D1, D2 and D3 cleaved Fas mRNA effectively. Neither degradation observed in antisense oligo RNase H group in non-target site (1211-1231nt) and 2 bases mismatched of A3, nor splicing occurred in DNzyme group in non-target site ( 1211-1231nt) and 2 bases mismatched of D3. Site 2 and 3 were at the same positions with those of ISIS Pharmaceuticals. The effective antisense oligos and DNAzymes for Fas gene could be used for the research subsequently.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of unilateral pedicle screw fixation in treating thoracolumbar fractures through paraspinal approach.
METHODSFrom January 2006 to January 2009,21 patients with single level thoracolumbar fracture without neurological symptoms were treated with unilateral pedicle screw fixation through paraspinal approach. There were 14 males and 7 females,aged from 21 to 65 years old with a mean of 36.4 years. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 6 h to 5 d with an average of 3 d. According to the classification of Denis fracture, compression fractures happedned in 12 cases and burst fractures happened in 9 cases,including 1 case with T5 fracture, 2 cases with T7 fracture, 2 cases with T10 fracture, 3 cases with T11 fracture, 8 cases with T12 fracture, and 5 cases with L1 fracture. Based on the Flankel grade, all patients were classified as grade E. Anterior vertebral body height ratio, sagittal Cobb angle, condition of internal fixation failure, visual analogue score (VAS) were evaluated.
RESULTSAll patients were followed up from 12 to 36 months with an average of 20.5 months. No internal fixation failure was found. Anterior vertebral body height ratios at preoperative 3 days after operation and last follow-up were 54.3 +/- 2.8, 92.9 +/- 1.5, 93.8 +/- 1.7, respectively;sagittal Cobb angle at the three timepoints were (27.8 +/- 2.5) degrees, (5.3 +/- 0.8) degrees, (6.3 +/- 1.4) degrees, respectively; the difference was statistical significant (P < 0.05). VAS was (1.2 +/- 0.4) points at last follow-up and had obviously improved (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONTreatment of thoracolumbar fractures with unilateral pedicle screw fixation through paraspinal approach is safe with the advantages of micro-trauma and less blood loss,which can not only completely retain the posterior spinal complex structure, reinforce the spinal stability, raise the reductional quality, but also improve the strength of fixation and the distribution of stress force.

Objective To observe the effects of methionine enkephalin (M-Enk) on migration of macrophages from mice with impaired liver and its immunomodulatory mechanisms. MethodsLiver of mice was impaired by feeding CCl4 and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MMIF) was produced by Con A-stimulated spleen lympho- cytes. Inhibition of macrophage migration was measured in reaction system by adding M-Enk. Results Migration of macrophages in both liver-impaired and control group were suppressed by MMIF, but the suppression might be re- versed by adding 1 μmol/L M-Enk (P<0. 05). M-Enk could significantly inhibit in vitro both of the combination of MMIF with macrophages and production of MMIF from lymphocytes (P<0. 01). Macrophages from liver-imparied group showed a higher sensitivity compared to the control group (P<0. 05). ConclusionThe study suggests that opi- oid peptieds play an important role in the modulation of the immune response under stress as liver impairment.

Objective The three-dimensional reconstructed images of maximum intensity projection (MIP) for membranous labyrinth and internal auditory meatus in Chinese adults were observed and measured in order to provide anatomic basis for otolosurgery and nerosurgery. Methods Thirty inner ears of 15 volunteers were scanned by using a circular temporal coil and three-dimension fast spin echo sequence with a 1^5T GE-signal MRI scanner. All original images were transferred to MRI workstation and all the structures of inner ear were reconstructed, rotated from various angles and measured by using maximum intensity projection. All the data were analyzed using SPSS 10.0 software. Results Anatomic structures of membranous labyrinth and internal auditory meatus were well demonstrated in three-dimensional reconstructed images of MIP in all volunteers. All three semicircular ducts, utricle, saccule, cochlear duct and internal auditory meatus produced high intensity signal. The results of measurement were statistically in significant.Conclusion Three-dimensional reconstruction of MlP might document, lively, stereoscopically and directly, the minute structures of membranous labyrinth and internal auditory meatus. We provide the basic data for the establishment of the MRI measurement criterion of inner ear.

OBJECTIVETo design a new 3-dimensional anatomical locking plate internal fixation on the basis of anatomic character of acetabulum for treating complex acetabular fractures except the posterior wall and posterior column fracture, and to investigate its advantages and disadvantages.
METHODSFive fresh adult cadavers and 40 biopsy specimens of pelvic cavity were collected. The length and radian of iliopectineal crest and pecten pubis,the distance from acetabular index to iliopectineal crest were measured to guide the research and development of the 3-dimensional anatomical locking plate internal fixation for complex acetabular fractures through the ilioinguinal approach or combined with Stoppa approach.
RESULTSThe average lengths of iliopectineal crest of male and female were (54.12+/-5.42) mm and (58.24+/-6.60) mm;and the radians were (64.26+/10.28)degrees and(60.32+/-12.26)degrees. The lengths of bow pubic were(122.21+/-8.02) mm and(126.52+/-7.84) mm;and the radians were (66.24+/-13.10)degrees and(63.25+/-12.10) degrees. The distance from acetabular index to iliopectineal crest of male and female were (18.6 + 2.2) mm and (18.9+/-2.5) mm. The 3-dimensional anatomical locking plate was used to treat compound acetabular fractures through ilio-inguinal groove incision or combined with Stoppa incision,including dislocated acetabular fractures at quadratic district,but not including paries posterior and columma posterior fractures.
CONCLUSIONThe self-designed 3-dimensional anatomical locking plate internal fixation has the characteristics of operational convenience, accurate fixation, mini operational trauma,short operational time and low operational risk,therefore it is especially suit for the complex acetabular fractures except the posterior wall and posterior column fracture which is difficult to be solved by contentional internal fixation.
