Objective To construct and identify the efficacy of a lentiviral vector harboring RNAi sequence targe-ting NSBP1 gene. Methods Three siRNA targeting the NSBP1 mRNA were designed, the pGCSIL-GFP-NSBP1 lentivirus vectors were constructed and confirmed by DNA sequencing. A total of 293T cells were co-transfected with pGCSIL-GFP-NSBP1, pHelper1.0 and pHelper2.0 for the virus stocks produced, the titer of the virus was test-ed. After lentivirus transfecting into DU145 ceils, Western-blot and MTT methods were used to determine the ex-pression and biological activity of NSBP1 gene, the cells were transplanted into nude mice, then inhibitive effect was observed. Results PCR analysis and DNA sequencing demonstrated that the RNAi sequence targeting the hu-man NSBP1 gene was successfully inserted into the lentiviral vector. The titer of the recombinant]entiviral vector was 2 × 10~8TU/mL. NSBP1 protein expression level in transfected cells was significantly decreased and growth rate of cells transfected with lentivirus was decreased by MTT assay, the downregulation of NSBP1 reduced growth rate of transplantated tumor, whereas tumorgenicity was not influenced. Conclusion The construction of the]entiviral vector of NSBP1 has been successfully prepared and NSBP1 plays an important regulatory role in androgen-inde-pendent prostate cancer cell proliferation.

Objective To investigate the effect of palato-pharyngo-plastry on patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) plus obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods The 113 OSAHS patients with CHD after palato-pharyngo-plastry from January 2001 to December 2006 were enrolled and followed up. The other 125 cases treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were as control group. Results The fundmental factors of CHD including cholesterol, triglyeride, fasting blood glucose and body mass index (BM1) showed no statistical differences between two groups (x2 or t= 4.788, 0.479, 0.541, all P>0.05) . Only the oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep was higher in study group than in control group [(91.2± 2.5)% vs. (87.6±4.2)%, P=0.046]. The angiography showed that 87 cases (77.0%) retained stable, 24 cases (21.2%) became severe in study group. As compared with control group, there were no statistical differences (both P>0.05). 37 cases (32.7%) in study group and 58 cases (46.4%) in control group who suffered from angina became severe with statistical differences between two groups (x2=4.615, P=0.032). The incidences of myocardial infarction and sudden death were lower in study group (3.5% and 0.8%) and in control group (5.6% and 2.4%), showed no statistical, difterences be tween twogroups. x2=0.571 and 0.495, P>0. 05). Conclusions Compared with CPAP, the palato-pharyngo-plastry can improve oxyhemoglobin saturation and reduce angina symptom, but has no better effect on progress of coronary atherosclerosis and acute coronary disease than CPAP.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The number of apoptotic cels in rat condylar cartilage and subcondylar region: the sham operation group < the treatment group < the model group (alP< 0.05). (2)Expression of Bcl-2: The trend of the model group was lower than that in the sham operation group, although there was no statisticaly significant difference between the two groups; Bcl-2 expression in the treatment group was statisticaly higher compared to the model group (P< 0.05).(3)Expression of Bax and Caspase-3: The expression levels of Bax and Caspase-3 were higher in the model group than in the sham operation group (alP< 0.05), while Bax and Caspase-3 expression was lower in the treatment group than that in the model group (alP< 0.05). The results suggested that bisphophonates can regulate apoptosis in condylar cartilage from osteoporosis rats by changing the expression of Bcl-2, Bax and Caspase-3.

Objective To examine the distribution and expression of dentin matrix protein1 ( DMP1 ) in the condylar cartilage and subchondral bone of osteoporosis rats. Methods Female Sprague-Dawley rats aged 6 months (n=30)wererandomlydividedinto3groups. TheShamgroupunderwentshamoperationonly(n=10),theOVX group ( n = 10 ) received a bilateral ovariectomy first and then saline solution treatment subcutaneously for 3 months. The RIS group ( n=10 ) also received a bilateral ovariectomy and then with risedronate treatment ( 2. 4μg/kg) subcutaneously for 3 months. Three months after the operation, the animals were sacrificed. Toluidine blue staining showed the structure changes of rat condylar cartilage region. The changes of osteoclasts in the bony subcondylar region were evaluated by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase ( TRAP) staining. The expression of DMP1 was analyzed immunohistochemically and then performed by semi-quantitative imaging analyses. Results Toluidine blue staining showed a thickened hypertrophic layers of condylar cartilage in RIS group. The results of TRAP staining indicated that the number of osteoclasts was significantly greater in OVX group than RIS group (P<0. 05). Immunohistochemistry showed that DMP1 localized mainly in the chondrogenic layers and osteocytes, bony subcondylar region in three groups. The expression levels of DMP1 proteins statistically decreased in OVX group than the other two groups(both P<0. 05). Conclusion Bisphophonates may reduce the the number of osteoclasts in the condyle from osteoporosis rats, with increasing of the expression of DMP1, which may influences condylar cartilage biomineralization.

Objective To study the effect of powder of Chinese Angelica and Peony (DSS) on hippocampus proteome of senescence accelerated mice (SAM). Methods Thirty female mice aged 12 months were used in our study, including 10 SAM-resistance/1 (SAMR1) and 20 SAM-prone/8 (SAMP8). The difference of hippocampus proteome among SAMP8, SAMR1, SAMP8 treated with DSS intragastrically at dose of 3.2 g/kg once a day for 30 d (SAMP8+DSS), was analyzed by two dimensional polyacryalmide gel electrophoresis (2DE). Results Compared with SAMR1, the expressions of 13 proteins in hippocampus of SAMP8 were up-regulated and that of 9 proteins were down-regulated significantly. Compared with SAMP8, the expressions of 21 proteins in hippocampus of SAMP8+DSS were up-regulated and that of 14 proteins were down-regulated significantly. Using MALDI-TOF-MS, the proteins with significant changes in expressions were identified by peptide fingerprinting map and the results were searched in MASCOT database, and sorted into 5 function groups including mitochondria-associated proteins, energy metabolism proteins, synaptic plasticity formation proteins, cytoskeletal proteins and others proteins. Conclusion The effects of DSS on hippocampus proteome of senescence accelerated mice were probably exerted via multi-target and multi-pathway mechanism.

OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects of locking plates for the treatment of Neer 3-and 4-part proximal humerus fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to June 2011, 64 patients with Neer 3-and 4-part proximal humerus fractures were treated with locked plate fixation. There were 39 patients in the 3-part group including 16 males and 23 females, with an average age of (55.12 +/- 12.52) years old; and 25 patients in the 4-part fractures group including 9 males and 16 females,with an average age of (57.92 +/- 13.14) years old. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score (ASES), visual analogue scale (VAS) and complications were documented for analysis before and after treatment.

RESULTSAll the patients had incision healing at the first stage. All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 30 months, with a mean of 16.5 months. Comparably better shoulder function recovery was achieved in the 3-part fractures group with regard to the ASES (76.14 +/- 14.10 in the 3-part fractures group vs. 65.93 +/- 11.82 in the 4-part fractures group, P < 0.05). Moreover,a statistical difference (P < 0.05) was observed regarding the VAS pain score (2.12 +/- 1.63 in the 3-part fractures group vs. 3.90 +/- 2.21 in the 4-part fractures group). For the complications rate,no statistical difference was noted between 3-part fractures group and 4-part fractures group (20.51% vs. 36.00%).

CONCLUSIONThe clinical outcomes of the 3-part proximal humerus fractures is better than the 4-part fractures proximal humerus fractures treated with locking plate. Complex proximal humeral fractures treated with locking plates can be achieved a satisfactory outcome when attention is paid to anatomic reduction, stable fixation, proper screws and plate placement, and reasonable functional exercise postoperative.
