Objective To investigate the biological functions of HBeAg-binding protein 1(HBEBP1), suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH) technique was used to screen genes regulated by HBEBP1. Methods HBEBP1(GenBank number:AF529372) was screened and identified by yeast two-hybrid system 3 and co-immunoprecipitation technique. The HBEBP1 coding DNA fragment was amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique from HepG2 cell genome. The expressive vector of pcDNA3.1(-)-HBEBP1 was constructed by routine molecular biological methods. The HepG2 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1(-) and pcDNA3.1(-)-HBEBP1, respectively by using FuGENE6 transfection reagent, then the mRNA was isolated. SSH method was employed to analyze the differentially expressed DNA sequences between the two groups. After restriction enzyme Rsa I digestion, small sized cDNAs were obtained. Then tester cDNAs were divided into two groups and ligated to the specific adaptor 1 and adaptor 2, respectively. After tester cDNAs were hybridized with driver cDNAs twice and underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) twice, they were then subcloned into pGEM-Teasy plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E. coli strain DH5?. The cDNAs were sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR. Results The subtractive library of genes up-regulated by HBEBP1 was constructed successfully. The amplified library contained 85 positive clones. Colony PCR showed that these clones contained 200-1 000bp inserts. Sequence analysis was performed in 26 clones at random, and the full length sequences were obtained with bioinformatics method. Altogether 15 coding sequences were obtained. Conclusions The obtained sequences may be target genes up-regulated by HBEBP1, among which some genes coding proteins were involved in cell cycle regulation, metabolism, immunity and cell apoptosis. This finding brought some new clues for the study of the biological functions of HBEBP1 and HBeAg.

ObjectiveTo observe the imitation of menopause and the change of spatial cognition in mice administrated with D-galactose and to evaluate the molecular mechanism of estrogen to protect the function of hippocampal neurons.MethodsAdult female C57BL/6 mice were bilateral ovariectomy (OVX) and subcutaneously treated with D-galactose (100 mg/kg). In estrogen replacement therapy(ERT) mice were i.p. administrated with E2 (50 μg/kg). It took 8 weeks to induce the model and treat with ERT. Morris water maze was used test the function of spatial learning and memory. Estrogen and oxidative stress enzymes were detected by kit. 8-oxo-dG was immunohistochemical stained, and the expression of MTH1 in brain hippocampus was detected by Western blotting.ResultsThe level of E2 in blood in model group was one fifth of that in Sham group(P<0-01), and E2 level obviously increased in ERT group; the escape latency significantly prolonged in model group(P<0-01), and obviously shortened in ERT group(P<0-05). SOD and GSH-Px significantly reduced and MDA obviously increased in model group(P<0-05); and approached normal in ERT group. 8-oxo-dG as a DNA oxidative damage marker was obviously increased in the hippocampus of model group. However, the expression of DNA repair protein MTH1 significantly reduced(P<0-05), and both of them returned to normal in ERT group(P<0-05).ConclusionEstrogen can improve the function of spatial cognition in aging mice model by repairing the DNA damage of hippocampal neurons.

To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of tripterygium glycosides (TG) combined with ACEI/ARB preparation in treating diabetic nephropathy stage IV. The computer retrievals were made in Cochrane Libarary, PubMed, Embase, SCI, Sinnomed, CNKI, Chinainfo and VIP, and hand retrievals were conducted for meeting and academic papers (updated to December 30, 2014), in order to collect randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized control trials for TG combined with ACEI/ARB preparation in treating diabetic nephropathy stage IV and set the literature inclusion and elimination standards. Eligible literatures were included and evaluated according to standards in Cochrane Handbook. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0 were used for a Meta-analysis. A total of 13 randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized control trials involving 1119 patients with diabetic nephropathy were included. The Meta analysis result showed that compared with the control group, the combination group showed better effects in reducing the 24-hour urinary protein [MD = -0.84, 95% CI (-1.02, -0.66)], raising albumin [SMD = 0.98, 95% CI (0.81, 1.16)], the total efficiency [OR = 4.23, 95% CI (2.77, 6.46)] and the significant efficiency [OR = 5.35, 95% CI (2.70, 10.60)], with no statistical difference in Serum Creatinine between Both groups [MD = -0.82, 95% CI (-4.30, 2.66), P = 0.64]. However, the risk of adverse reactions increased by 7% [RD = 0.07, 95% CI (0.03, 0.12)]. The Egger's test showed no publication bias. Tripterygium Glycosides combined with ACEI/ARB in treating diabetic nephropathy stage IV is supper than the single administration of ACEI/ARB, with a good prospect in clinical application. Nevertheless, due to the small-size and low-quality samples in this study, more high-quality and large sample-size randomized controlled trials shall be conducted to verify the findings.

Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2020;43(1):28-35
Objective:
To explore the application value of biochemical and immunological assembly line in emergency test by comparatively analyzing the changes in sample test process and turnaround time (TAT) in emergency test before and after installation of the assembly line.
Methods:
A retrospective study was performed with the run data of the emergency biochemical and immunodetection project in Department of Clinical Laboratory in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from July to September in 2017 and from July to September in 2018. (1)The changes in sample circulation mode and test process were compared in emergency test before and after installation of the assembly line.(2)The changes in TAT of sample test and distribution of time interval in emergency laboratory report were statistically analyzed before and after installation.(3)The number of samples tested between instruments and occurrence of instrument failure were statistically compared before and after installation. (4)Biosafety risk assessment was performed on the sample test process before and after installation to analyze the effects of the assembly line installation on biosafety control in emergency test.
Results:
(1) By applying the assembly line, the sample test process was well controlled and the workload for laboratorians was eased greatly through reduction of manual work.(2) Report TAT was remarkably shortened after installation compared to that before installation; the TAT of dry biochemistry and myocardial zymogram report in emergency test was shorted from 39 min and 48 min to 34 min and 42 min respectively, with a reduction of 12.82% an 12.50% compared to those before installation; the TAT of dry biochemistry and myocardial zymogram report in inpatient emergency was shorted from 37 min and 43 min to 29 min and 35 min respectively, with a reduction of 21.61% an 18.60% compared to those before installation; distribution of report TAT was comparatively analyzed, the percentage of reports in 0-30 min and 31-45 min increased remarkably compared to that before installation, the percentage of TAT of dry biochemistry report falling into 0-45 min increased to 74.58% and 85.66% after installation from 57.91% and 78.28% before installation, respectively in emergency and inpatient emergency. (3)For the model VITROS5600, the percentage of samples tested changed from 30.29% and 69.71% before installation to 47.63% and 52.37% after installation, respectively; for the model DXI800, the percentage of samples tested changed from 28.77% and 71.23% before installation to 53.49% and 46.51% after installation, respectively. After installation, there was a tendency of balance in the number of samples tested between instruments. Instrument failure was significantly reduced: for the model VITROS5600, the frequency of instrument failure decreased from 3.5 times a month/instrument before installation to 2 times a month/instrument after installation on average; for the model DXI800, the frequency of instrument failure decreased from 2.8 times a month/instrument before installation to 1.8 times a month/instrument after installation on average.(4) Installation of the assembly line lowered the risks biosafety events in sample test process in emergency test and the two risks of accidental contact with aerosol in sample tubes before detection and accidental contact with biological specimen due to overturning and spilling during detection were reduced from a high level before installation to a low level after installation.
Conclusion
In emergency test, biochemical and immunological assembly line is of certain value in process improvement, reduction of workload for laboratorians, improvement of work efficiency, TAT reduction and optimization, as well as control of biosafety conditions.

Objective To evaluate the clinical and functional outcome of biological reconstruction by using pasteurized autograft and massive allograft after en-bloc resection of primary femoral diaphyseal sarcomas.Methods Retrospectively reviewed 19 consecutive patients with primary femoral diaphyseal sarcomas between Feb.2005 and Dec.2013.There were 11 males and 8 females with the mean age of 18 (2-38) years old.Thirteen patients were diagnosed as osteogenic sarcoma (OS),while five Ewing' s sarcoma (EWS) and one malignant fibrous histocytoma (MFH).All patients were treated with wide local excision,and 9patients were reconstructed by intercalary femur segmental allograft and 10 by pasteurized autograft.The median length of the resected bone was 16.9 (9-24) cm.15 segmental grafts were fixed by using plates including 10 intramedullary free vascularised fibular graft constructs,the other 4 segmental grafts were fixed by intramedullary nails.The average operation time for pasteurized autograft construct was 5.1 hours,while the time for intercalary allograft construct was 4.22 hours.Of 38 host-donor junctions,there are 28 diaphyseal junctions and 10 metaphyseal junctions.Results The average operation time for pausterized autograft construct tended to be longer than intercalary allograft (5.1h Vs 4.22h),although the difference did not reach the significance.Bone union occurred at a median of 10.3 months and 7.25 months at diaphyseal and metaphyseal junction for pasteurized autograft-host construct; 13.8 months at the diapyhseal junction and 11.5 months at the metaphyseal junction for allograft-host construct.Bone healing time of diaphyseal junction and metaphyseal junction between these two constructs were significant difference.Eight of 19patients (42.1%) developed complications:5 bone unnunion/fracture (including 1 subsequently developed local recurrence),1deep infection and 2 local recurrence (including 1 soft tissue recurrence).The mean overall follow-up was 33.5 months (3-107),five patients died of lung metastases,the cumulative patient survival was 76.5% at 2 years and 61.2% at 5 years determined by Kaplan-Meier method.All living patients except the MFH patients who received amputation,had a mean MSTS score of 83.7% (70%-95%).Conclusion Although the reconstructive procedure with pasteurized autograft is more complicated and needs longer operation time than allograft reconstruction,the bone healing time with autograft is significant shorter than allograft.Our observations suggest the pausterized autograft shell with intramedullary free fibular graft is strongly recommeded.
