The rodipicolinate synthase gene was cloned from Nicotiana tabacum L.cv,which encodes the key enzyme in the synthesis of lysine,and then a vitro molecular reform reliefing feedback suppression was made. Some resistant seedlings were acquired using the mutated gene as selectable marker and analog of lysine as selectable reagent,and the detection results were positive by means of PCR and Real-Time PCR,however the phenotype is somewhat abnormal.

The sulfonylureas as insulin secretagogues,have formed a cornerstone of pharmacotherapy for type 2 diabetes over 50 years.Although sulfonylureas are effective antihyperglycemic agents,individual variability exists in drug response (i.e.,pharmacodynamics) and adverse effects which may be related to some genes.This article mainly reviews the advance of recent studies about drug metabolism and pharmacogenomics of sulfonylureas.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)and glycated albumin(GA) in hyperglycemia patients with liver cirrhosis (LCH).Methods One hundred LCH patients were divided into anemia and no-anemia group by Hb 110 g/L The no-anemia group was further divided into low albumin (serum albumin < 30 g/L),and high albumin group (serum albumin 30-<40 g/L).One hundred type 2 diabetes without liver cirrhosis were included as control group (T2DM).HbA1c,GA,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),postprandial 2h plasma glucose (2hPG) were collected for statistical analysis.Results (1) The HbA1c level in LCH with anemia tended lower than that in T2DM subjects [(6.76 ±2.20)% vs (7.34 ± 1.23)%,P =0.06];though the level of GA [(19.10 ±7.47)%vs (16.68 ±2.90)%,P<0.01] and 2hPG [(12.09 ±3.39) mmol/L vs (10.84 ±2.95) mmol/L,P<0.05] were significantly higher than that in T2DM group.(2) No-anemia subjects in LCH group with albumin < 30 g/L had obviously higher GA levels than those with albumin 30-< 40 g/L and T2DM (albumin≥40 g/L) [(18.79 ±2.28)% vs (16.71 ±2.42)% and (16.73 ±2.96)%,P<0.01];though the level of HbA1c of three groups above has no significant difference.(3) The level of HbA1c between LCH without anemia group and T2DM group had no significant difference (P > 0.05);and the level of GA between LCH without anemia group with albumin 30-< 40 g/L and T2DM group had no significant difference(P >0.05).(4) The HbA1c has a positive correlation with FPG and 2hPG in LCH (FPG∶r =0.45,P<0.001;2hPG∶r =0.33,P=0.001) and T2DM subjects (FPG∶ r =0.76,P<0.001;2hPG∶r =0.81,P < 0.001).GA also has a positive correlation with FPG and 2hPG in LCH (FPG∶ r =0.48,P <0.001;2hPG:r=0.39,P <0.001) and T2DM subjects (FPG∶ r =0.74,P <0.001;2hPG∶ r =0.76,P <0.001).Conclusion It is unfavorable to use HbA1c to evaluate the blood glucose level in liver cirrhosis patients with Hb < 110 g/L and to use GA in patients with serum albumin < 30 g/L.

Objective:To study the influence of vitamin C ( VC) on dendritic cells ( DC) ,and detect DC maturation,to provide a feasible method and thought for quickly preparating DC vaccines.Methods:Collected the peripheral blood (about 50 ml) from healthy volunteers,and isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells with lymphocyte separation medium and obtain DC.With stimulating with different concentrations of VC for (24 h),then washed with PBS,and set up blank control group (V0).The expression of DC surface co-stimulating molecules CD80/86 and HLA-DR, CD40 was detected by flow cytometry.By setting the concentration gradient and time gradient, exciting optimal concentration and stimulating time of VC on DC, and analyzed the reasons of VC promoting DC maturation.Results:VC could effectively stimulate DC,CD80/86 expression had significantly increased contrast to the blank control group (V0).And the experiments show that VC’s best stimulating concentration was 1 mmol/L,and on the third day,the CD80/86 expression rate of VC group was (78.6±4.6) %,and blank control group V0 was (34.1±5.7) %.DC surface HLA-DR expression:VC (56.8± 4.4) %,blank control group V0 (25.4 ±4.7) %,the difference between two groups was statistically significant,P<0.05.CD40 and CD40L expression and results show that VC 2.5 mmol/L group of CD40 expression rate up to (59.3±3.7) %,while V0 group was only (11.1 ±2.4) %,that illustrate VC could significantly regulate CD40 expression on DC surface,but CD40L not reflect.Fluorescence mi-croscope results showed that DC’ s antigen catching ability was also significantly promoted.Conclusion:VC can significantly regulate DC maturity,and may up regulate CD40,thus promoting the express of CD80/86 and HLA-DR.When the concentration is 1 mmol/L,VC expresses the strongest regulation function on DC.

Objective To study the value of CT angiography(CTA) and three dimensional contrast enhanced magnetic resonance angiography(3D CE-MRA) in the diagnosis of arteriosclerotic occlusive disease (ASO) of lower limb and evaluate arterial stenosis. Methods Thirty-eight patients clinically suspected ASO were studied with CTA and3D CE-MRA,twenty-two patients underwent DSA at the same time. The degree of seriousness of the stenosis shown by various imaging techniques were analyzed respectively. Results Using the DSA images as the standard reference, the sensitivity and specificity of CTA were 97.3% ,99. 1%, and MRA both were 100.0% in detecting the segments occluded. With regard the detection of segments that had more than moderate stenosis ,the sensitivity and specificity of CT were 99.3% ,97.6% ,and MRA were 97.9% ,96.4%. The degree of seriousness of the stenosis shown by MRA was overestimated than CTA on the segments that had more than moderate stenosis(x2 =5.80,P <0. 05). Conclusion CTA and 3D CE-MRA were reliable method in diagnosis of ASO.

One hundred and fifty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ infants scheduled to undergo surgery on unilateral inguinal region,were randomly assigned to 3 groups with 50 in each group.In groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ puncture was performed at traversus abdominis plane under ultrasound-guidance,0.4 or 0.5/kg of 0.25% ropivacaine was injected respectively.In group Ⅲ the triangle of Petit was positioned through palpating and then 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25% ropivacaine was injected.HR,RR,SpO2,PETCO2,expired sevoflurane concentration and BIS value at the time of entering the operation room (T1),incision of skin (T2),pulling hernia sac (T3),ending the surgery (T4),waking (T5),the number of pressing the analgesia pump after operation were recorded.The results showed that HR at T2 and T3 of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was lower than group Ⅲ (P < 0.05).The were significant differences in case numbers of insufficient intraoperative analgesia among 3 groups(x2 =10.500,P =0.005).The CHEOPS scores and the number of pressing analgesia pump after operation in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ were lower than those in group Ⅲ (x2 =7.230,P =0.027).Results indicate that ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block is safer and more effective than conventional method for operations of inguinal region in infants; it may reduce dose of local anesthetics and postoperative use of analgesics.
