Plasma products are considered to be special medicinesderived from healthy human plasma .During 1980′s, events of transmission of human immunodeficiency virus through plasma products were frequently reported .Since then, ensuring the viral safety of plasma products has raised great concerns all over the world .So far, with decades of effort , most countries in the world have established rigorous systems with preventive measures to ensure the viral safety of plasma prod -ucts.These measures include control of source plasma , validated inactivation/removal of infectious agents , the adherence to current good manufacturing practices .Nevertheless , new infectious agents which may be threats to viral safety require continuous studies on appropriate countermeasures .

Objective To detect the activity of α1 antitrypsin(AAT) with initial velocity of enzymatic reaction in order to detect the activity of samples in the process of separating and purifying plasma protein ,chromogenic substrate assay was optimized.Methods The effect of trypsin concentration and reaction time on enzymatic reaction was acquired by the kinetic monitoring mode of the microplate reader .Initial velocity was calculated to confirm the largest concentration of trypsin which was saturated by substrate .AAT was incubated with trypsin and absorbance produced by enzymatic reaction of remaining trypsin and substrate could reflect the activity of AAT .A standard curve was established with △D fitting with the activity of AAT standard.The activity of related samples was detected and the precision and accuracy of the method were evaluated . Results Trypsin concentration was 0.0625 mg/ml.Within 20 minutes, enzymatic reaction was with initial velocity .The range of the standard curve was 200-1200 IU/ml.Correlation coefficient was more than 0.99.The activity of Cohn Ⅳ, samples of pre-processing and elution were (720.59 ±18.63), (601.84 ±19.18),and (568.09 ±24.83)IU/ml, respec-tively.The relative standard deviation was less than 10%. Sample recovery rate was 90%-110%.Conclusion The optimized chromogenic substrate assay greatly improves accuracy and precision .The method can be used for the detec-tion of AAT activity of samples in laboratories and workshops .

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of narrow band-ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) alone or in combination with interferon-alpha-2b (INF-alpha-2b) for mycosis fungoides (MF),and to assess the correlation between the therapeutic effect and peripheral blood regulatory T (Treg)/T helper type 17 (Th 17) cells.Methods Thirty-three patients with stage ⅠA to ⅡA MF were randomly divided into two groups:NB-UVB group (n =15) receiving NB-UVB radiation alone,combined group (n =18) treated with NB-UVB radiation and intramuscular injection of INF-alpha-2b.Ten healthy volunteers were selected as the control group.Peripheral blood samples were collected before and 9 months after the start of treatment.Flow cytometry was performed to determine the percentages of Treg cells and Th17 cells.Statistical analysis was carried out by using t test,one-way analysis of variance,and Fisher's exact test.Results The average treatment duration was 9 months among these patients.Therapeutic outcomes were significantly better in the combined group than in the NB-UVB group (P =0.023).Among the 15 patients in the NB-UVB group,6 achieved complete remission,3 partial remission,6 showed no response;of the 18 patients in the combined group,12 experienced complete remission,5 partial remission,and 1 showed no response.Before the treatment,the percentages of both Treg and Th17 cells in peripheral blood were significantly higher in the NB-UVB group and combined group than in the control group (both P ＜ 0.05),but similar between the NB-UVB group and combined group (both P ＞ 0.05).After the treatment,the percentages of both Treg and Th17 cells in the NB-UVB group and combined group significantly decreased compared with those before the treatment,but were still higher than those in the control group (both P ＜ 0.05).Additionally,the degree of decrease in the percentages of Treg and Th17 cells was significantly greater in the combined group than in the NB-UVB group (both P＜ 0.05).The seven patients with no response also showed a significant decrease in the percentage of Treg cells (P ＜ 0.05),but no obvious changes in that of Th 17 cells (P ＞ 0.05) after the treatment.Conclusions The therapeutic effect of NB-UVB radiation combined with intramuscular INF-alpha-2b is superior to that of NB-UVB radiation alone for MF,which may be associated with the degree of decrease in peripheral blood Treg and Th 17 cells.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effects of angiotensin-(1-7) on the learning and memory abilities and the expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) in the hippocampus of diabetic rats.

METHODSForty male SD rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups, namely the control group, diabetic group, Ang(1-7)-treated diabetic group (DM1 group), and Ang-(1-7)- and Mas receptor antagonist A779-treated diabetic group (DM2 group). Diabetic rat models were established by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). The cognitive function of the rats was assessed with Morris water maze (MWM) test. The expressions of GDNF in the hippocampus were examined by RT-PCR and Western blot. Nissl staining was performed to evaluate the morphological changes in rat hippocampus. The expressions of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, a key indicator of astrocytic reactivity) and caspase-3 were measured by immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSCompared with the control group, the diabetic rats exhibited significantly impaired learning and memory abilities (P<0.05) with lowered expression of GDNF and increased caspase-3 expression in the hippocampus (P<0.05) and significant hippocampal neuronal and astrocyte injuries (P<0.05). Treatment with Ang(1-7) obviously improved the learning and memory abilities of the diabetic rats (P<0.05), increased GDNF and GFAP expressions (P<0.05), lowered caspase-3 expression (P<0.05), and increased the number of surviving neurons in the hippocampus (P<0.05). Such effects of Ang(1-7) effect was blocked by treatment with A779 of the diabetic rats.

CONCLUSIONAng(1-7) can alleviate cognitive dysfunction in diabetic rats possibly by up-regulating the expressions of GFAP and GDNF and promoting neuron survival in the hippocampus.

Objective: To explore the association of vitamin D deficiency with anxiety and depressive symptoms as well as their comorbidity, so as to provide references for improving the mental health of children and adolescents. Methods: From October to December 2021, a total of 1 323 students from four middle schools in Shenzhen were selected by using convenience sampling method for a questionnaire survey and physical examination. Fasting blood samples were collected to detect vitamin D levels. The Chi square test and multiple Logistic regression model were used to analyze the association of vitamin D deficiency with anxiety and depressive symptoms and their comorbidity among middle school students. Results: The detection rates of anxiety, depressive, and thier comorbidities in middle school students were 33.0%, 21.5% and 16.3%, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, vitamin D deficiency was positively associated with the risk of anxiety symptoms ( OR=1.59, 95%CI =1.02-2.46), depressive symptoms ( OR=1.94, 95%CI =1.22-3.09) and anxiety depressive comorbid symptoms ( OR=1.75, 95%CI =1.06-2.90) in secondary school students ( P ＜0.05). Conclusion Vitamin D deficiency is associated with an increased risk of anxiety, depressive and their co morbidity symptoms in middle school students, and the directionality of the association should be further studied.
