1.The role of structural protein Gag and related gene (protein) in late stages of the HIV-1 replication cycle and the inhibitors.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2010;45(2):205-14
The late stages of the HIV-1 replication cycle are important to the overall replication cycle. During the late stages, HIV-1 replication undergoes the processes of assembly, release, and maturation, resulting in the production of a mature virus particle capable of infecting a new target cell. The structural protein Gag and its related gene (protein) play a central role in these pathways. The different regions of Gag worked in concert to drive production of a mature infectious particle through protein-protein, protein-RNA and protein-lipid interactions. The designed drug aimed directly at these stages can efficiently block the maturation and infectivity of HIV-1. In this article, the role of structural protein Gag and related gene (protein) in late stages of the HIV-1 replication cycle and related inhibitors is reviewed.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of dynamic electrocardiogram (DCG ) in syncope patients . Methods :A total of 148 inpatients and outpatients ,who were diagnosed as syncope in our hospital from 2010 to 2013 ,received 24h DCG examination .Results:Among the 148 patients ,there were 94 cases (63.5% ) with abnor‐mal DCG ,40 cases (27.0% ) occurred syncope during monitoring ,25 cases (16.9% ) occurred syncope‐related ar‐rhythmias ,another one case manifested as atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate during monitoring but didn't appear syncope‐related symptoms such as dizziness and amaurosis etc .,15 patients (10.1% ) occurred syncope‐relat‐ed symptoms during monitoring ,but DCG examination didn't find arrhythmias .Conclusion:Dynamic electrocardio‐gram examination can find syncope‐related arrhythmias ,then they may receive related therapeutic measures for im‐proving prognosis .

Objective To explore the correlation of pregnant metaphase serum CRP and premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth.Methods Totally 300 cases maternals in pregnant metaphase were sampled to collected their fasting venous blood in the middle of elbow to detected the levels of serum CRP by immunoturbidimetry,and allof the maternals were received follow-up until end of the delivery.Of the 300 cases,there were 16 cases with premature rupture of membranes,28 cases with preterm birth,and 256 cases with full -term birth.The levels of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase of the three groups were compared,and the value of threshold to predict premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth was analyzed.Results The levels of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase of the groups of premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth were hoth higher than the group of full-term birth(P < 0.05),but there were not significant difference between the two groups(P > 0.05),and the threshold of the serum CRP were 13.9,10.8mg/L respectively.The sensitivity of serum CRP in pregnant metaphase to predict premature rupture of membranes was 68.75%,and the specificity was 98.94%.The sensitivity of serum CRP in pregnant metaphaseto predict preterm birth was 75.00%,and the specificity was 98.90%.Conclusion The level of pregnant metaphase serum CRP beyond a certain range may increase the possibility of premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth,which is valuable to predict premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth.

Objective To understand the state of self-congruence in nurses and discuss their rela-tion with psychological health. Methods Self coasisteney and congruence scale (SCCS) and state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI)were used to test 216 nurses. Results The degree of self-congruence of nurses was relatively low,difference existed in self-congruence among nurses in different departments (P<0.05). Self-congruence was significantly related with state-trait anxiety(P<0.01). Conclusions Selective psy-chological intervention needs be given to some nurses to maintain their psychological health.

Objective To investigate the interaction between NMDA receptor subunit 2B (NR2B) and metabotropic glutamate receptor 5 (mGluR5) in the spinal cord of morphine-tolerant rats. Methods Sixteen male SD rats weighing 220-280 g were randomly divided into 2 groups with 8 rats in each group: control group (C) and morphine group (M). In group M morphine 10μg was administered intrathecally (IT) twice a day for 7 consecutive days. In group C equal volume of normal saline was given instead of morphine. Tail flick latency (TFL) (a segment of tail 4-5 cm long was immersed in 52-53℃ hot water) was used to measure the antinocicepitve effect of morphine before and 30 min after morphine administration every morning. MPE (percentage of maximal possible effect) was calculated (pain threshold after drug administration - baseline pain threshold)/(10- baseline pain threshold)× 100% . The animals were killed at the next day after last IT administration and the dorsal half of L4-5 spinal cord was isolated and homogenized for determination of NR2B and mGluR5 protein expression by Western blot and CO-IP. Results MPE was significantly increased at 1-5 d of drug administration and returned to baseline at 7 d in group M as compared with group C. The mGluR5 protein expression was significantly up-regulated in group M as compared with group C but there was no significant difference in NR2B protein expression between the 2 groups. Conclusion There is interaction between NK2B and mGluR5 in the spinal cord of morphine-tolerant rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of dendritic cell (DC) and HLA-DR antigen expression in the generation and development of Graves′ disease (GD), Hashimoto′s thyroiditis (HT) and subacute thyroiditis (SAT). Methods A morphologic study was performed on the thyroid tissue of 53 GD with pronounced lymphocytic infiltration, 52 HT and 31 SAT to investigate the pathologic changes of DC and HLA-DR antigen positive cell in the parenchymal cells and intestitial tissue by histochemical, immunohistochemical and electron microscopic technique and statistic analysis. Results The observation on DC and HLA-DR positive infiltrating cell in GD, HT and SAT showed a similar increase with the degree of cellular infiltation. The highest peaks of DC and HLA-DR positive thyroid follicular epithelium were in HT O-type and granulomatous area of SAT. The highest peaks of HLA-DR positive immunoactive cells was in HT P-type and fibrous area of SAT. Conclusion DC and HLA-DR positive cells may play an important role in the antigen-presenting step as well as in their direct cytotoxicity. These processes are related to the pathogenesis of AITD (GD and HT) and SAT. The thyroid follicules may be destroyed in the autoimmune reaction, and initially the patient presents hyperthyroidism and finally hypothyroidism follows because of the fibnosis of the follicules.

Purpose:To investigate the effect of CD40 ligandization on breast cancer cell line and endothelial vein cell line.Methods:The expression of CD40 and its ligand on breast cancer cell line(M231),EVC cell line,fresh clinic breast cancer cell were determined by indirect immunofluorescence assay with flow cytometry(FCM) analysis.Then M231 cells cultured with CD40 agonsitic monoclone antibody,adriamycin alone or in combinations for 72 hours and proliferation of M231cells was determined by MTT assay.FCM was employed to study the cells' death or apopotosis with Annexin V PI assay.Results:M231 and ECV cell line and fresh clinic breast cancer cell are highly expressed CD40 but no CD40L.CD40 ligandization can not only inhibit the proliferation of M231 cell line but also inhibit ECV cell line by promoting the death or apoptosis of these cells.Combined CD40 agonsitic monoclone antibody with adriamycin may obviously inhibit proliferation of M231 and ECV cell line.Conclusions:CD40 ligandization may have double therapeutic effect to breast cancer: inhibit the proliferation of breast cancer cell and inhibit tumor angiogenesis by inhibiting vascular endothelial cell.

Objective:To investigate the remodeling of alveolar process following anterior teeth retraction. Methods: Cephalograms of pretreatment (T1), posttreatment (T2) and follow-up (T3) of 55 cases with four first premolars extracted were collected as the study samples. All the lateral head films were traced on the acetate. Palate best fit superimposition was used to transfer pretreatment SN to posttreatment and follow-up cephalograms and to evaluate the displacement of upper incisor teeth roots and the remodeling of alveolar bone. The average of the two measurements was processed by SPSS statistical package. Results:The CRE of upper incisor moved backward 1.8 mm(P05) in SN frame of reference. The width of alveolus on the labial side at the same level increased 0.2 mm (P
