Abnormal metabolism in vivo of uric acid leads to many diseases.Recent discovery shows that glucose transporter-like protein-9,which belongs to glucose transporter family not only transports glucose,but also plays an important role in the process of uric acid transport,which is also affected by pH,glucose,estrogen,etc.The variation of glucose transporter-like protein-9 results in metabolic diseases.Therefore,the study of glucose transporterlike protein-9 in uric acid transport and related drug will provide new ideas to control the development of hyperuricemia and related cardiovascular disease.

Objective To establish a new assay for detecting autoantibody Jo-1, cloning and expressing human autoantigen Jo-1 in E.coli.Methods A full length cDNA of human autoantigen Jo-1 was cloned from cell line HL-60 by RT-PCR. The PCR product was TA cloned, sequenced and inserted into the carrier pGEX-5T.The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL-21.

A kinetics model was developed for predicting and simulating immobilized cellulase performance, which follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with competitive product inhibition. Taking into account the effects of competitive product inhibition, inner diffusional limitation, substrate concentration and carrier size, the substrate distribution and the product distribution in carriers were investigated, and the effectiveness factors were also calculated over a wide range of parameters. The effects of competitive product inhibition are shown to increase the substrate concentration in the carrier, and, additionally, to increase the effectiveness factors slightly. With the increase of inner diffusion coefficient, both the effectiveness factors and the substrate concentration in the carrier increase. As the carrier size increases, on the other hand, these values decrease. The effectiveness factors and the substrate concentration in the carrier are found to increase when substrate concentration in the reaction system increases.

PBL (Problem-based learning) is a kind of teaching method, which is helpful for guiding students to solve practical and complex problems. The compiling of PBL teaching plans is the key to the implementation of PBL teaching. According to the teaching outline of internal medicine, we set the PBL teaching plan, formulated the teaching goal, collected the clinical real cases, finished the compiling of PBL cases of student version and teacher version, and preceded teaching practice accord-ing to the PBL cases. Improving and constructing the compiling framework of internal medicine PBL teaching plan laid the theoretical foundation for carrying out internal medicine PBL teaching.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the distance from the upper and lower resection margin and the gastric cancer patients with R0 resection and no distant metastasis.Methods:Retrospective analysis of 281 patients with gastric cancer in our hospital,the relationship between the age,sex,tumor size,tumor size,vascular invasion,lymph node metastasis,TNM stage,type of gastric cancer,tumor location and operation mode was analyzed.To compare the survival time of patients with different upper and lower margins.Results:The increase of the distance from upper resection margin was significantly related to the tumor size＞5 cm,TNM stage,type of gastric cancer,tumor location,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05);The distance of lower resection margin was significantly correlated with tumor size＞5cm,vascular invasion,lymph node metastasis and TNM stage,type of gastric cancer,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05);Themedian survival timein patientsof upper resection marginr□3cm with 48 months of the 5-year follow-up period was significantly higher than that in patients of the resection margin＞3cmwith 46 months (P＜0.001).Themedian survival timein patientsof lower resection margin□3cm with 45 months of the 5-year follow-up period was significantly higher than that in patients of the resection margin＞3cm with 44 months (P＜0.001).Conclusion:Gastric cancer postoperative upper and lower resection margin was significantly related with tumor size,TNM staging factors,and the median survival time of upper and lower resection margin＞5 cm was significantly lower than that of the resection margin3 cm.

Objective To observe the effect of atorvastatin on intraabdominal fat and microalbuminuria (MAU) in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods Forty-four MS patients were divided into the atorvastatin group and the control group. Blood pressure and blood glucose were controlled in both groups, in addition, atorvastatin was administered to the patients in the atorvastatin group. Blood pressure, blood glucose, body weight, abdominal wall fat, intraabdominal fat and MAU were compared before and after 12 weeks’ treatment. Results Obvious decrease of the intraabdominal fat and MAU was found in the atorvastatin group compared with those before the treatment Intraabdominal fat: non-ACE1/ARB (41.76?3.61) mm vs (33.23?2.47) mm, P

Objective To construct stable chromokinesin KIF4A knockdown gastric cancer cell lines (SGC-7901) and study the mitotic spindle midzone formation in these cells.Methods Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression plasmids of pGPU-GFP-shKIF4A,pGPU-GFP-shNC specific targetting KIF4A and non-sense DNA sequences were constructed respectively and then transfected into SGC-7901 cells.The cells were cultured in selection medium containing G418 to form single clones.Stable KIF4A shRNA expressing SGC-7901 cells were picked up under an fluoroscent microscope and identified by Western Blot.The spindle midzone in these cells was analyzed after immunofluorescence staining.Results Three cell lines stably expressing KIF4A shRNA and one with shNC were successfully constructed.Compare to the control cell line,KIF4A knockdown cell lines represented remarkable elongation of spindle midzone and the less the KIF4A,the longer spindle midzone.Conclusions Stable KIF4A knockdown SGC-7901 cell lines were successfully constructed that can serve for further study of KIF4A ' s function and its role in proliferation and development of gastric cancer.

A fragment sized 400bp of White spot syndrome virus（WS SV，formerly de signated NOSV），recovered from recombinant plasmid pAFD, was labeled with Digox igenin as a probe to detect dynamic distribution of WSSV within 120h and 72h in crawfishes（Cambarus proclarkii） inoculated WSSV by oral taking and injecti on r espectively. Stomach epithelium, intestine epithelium, heart, gill, haemolymph, muscle, hepatopancreas, hypoderm, connective tissue and ovary of infected crawfi shes were examined for WSSV. In both groups, WSSV was first detected in heamoly mph at 12h p.i. and then disappeared. Again it was detected at 96h p.i. only in oral infection group and maintained till 120h p.i., but it didn't appear at 72h p.i. in injection group. WSSV in heart, muscle was detected at 36h p.i. in oral infection group and 24h p.i. in injection group respectively, and then increased generally. In addition, WSSV in intestine epithelium, connective tissue, ovary of oral infection group and intestine epithelium, hypoderm, ovary of injection g roup could also be detected. In dead crawfishes after 120h and 72h p.i. in two groups, WSSV could be detected in all the examined tissues and it demonstrated t hat systemic infection occurred in the animales. The tissue containing more amo unts of WSSV was hypoderm in oral infection group, while intestine epithelium, g ill, hypoderm, ovary in injection infection group. It deduced that WSSV first a ppears in haemolymph and then goes into heart, muscle and other tissues and prol iferates in them. Once again, WSSV is released into heamolymph resulting in syst emic infection till crawfishes' death.
