AIM: To get large amounts of pure antigens to raise specific antibodies and to perform quantifications.METHODS: CYP2B6 (cytochrome P) cDNA fragments was ligated into BamHI restricted PGEX-3b to generate recombinants PGEX/2B6. We identified recombinants PGEX/2B6 by EcoRI digestion. The expression of fusion proteins were induced by adding isopropyl-thiogalactoside(IPTG). Several clones showed high-level expression of fusion proteins. Insoluble proteins was isolated from the bacteria and the fusion proteins was recovered and purified from a preparative (2mm) SDS-PAGE. The polyarcrylamide gel containing the fusion proteins glutathione S-transferase(GST-2B6) were used to immunize BALB/C mice from which polyclonal ascites fluid was prepared. The purified fusion proteins GST-1A1(GST fusion protein of CYP1A1 cDNA246～386aa expressed in this library ,purified by preparative SDS-PAGE), GST-2B6 were used to test the specificity of 2B6pAb. RESULTS:Fusion proteins constructed between GST and CYP2B6 was expressed in Escherichia coli DH5?. Mouse antibodies are raised against the fusion proteins GST-2B6. 2B6pAb was fond to be specific antibody.CONCLUSION:Recombinant PGEX/2B6 were constructed and purified fusion proteins GST-2B6, and specific 2B6pAb were obtained.

AimTo establish a model of the injury of the vascular endothelial cell(VEC) in rats and observe the function of Chinese herbs of Li Qi Huo Xue(LQHX) will prevent and treat the VEC injury. Methods30 SD rats weredivided into the control, the model and LQHX groups. The model of the VEC injury was established. It tried to demonstrate the effect of LQHX for the coagula tion and fibrinolysis function of the VEC by the C EC count,t-PA, PAI activity, 6-keto-PGF1αcontent and PAgTmax. Results In LQHX group as compared with those of the medol group, The CEC count was redued obviously(P＜0.01). t-PA activity was increased(P＜0.01), so did the percentage of active t-PA(P＜0.01), but PAI activity decreased (P＜0.05), 6-keto-PGF1α content increased (P＜0.01)α the PAgTmax decreasd (P ＜0.01) Conclution LQHX can enhance the anticoagulation and fibrinolysis activities. It is a more effective measure for the VEC protection.

The paper described the practice of contingency nursing management for ICU wards in case of power breakdown in the hospital The SICU wards have developed their power failure contingency plan in which the nurses on duty are divided into Group A,B and C according to their positions and qualifications.Respectively,they take charge of patient safety,coordination and command,and medical aid.We also established the procedure of emergency response for these duties.Training and examination familiarize the medical personnel with the procedure and their duties.Four practices proved that the implementation of the plan reduces risks exposure and improves the satisfaction.With the contingency plan,the nurses in ICU can now take care of critical incidents and avoid nursing risks in ICU efficiently.

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic value of high-resolution CT reconstruction techniques on the same slice in hypertrophy of transverse process of the fifth lumbar vertebra (HTPL5V), and to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Materials and Methods Twenty-two cases of clinically diagnosed HTPL5V and 20 normal adults were examined with GE LightSpeed 16-slice spiral CT (36 cases) and Philips iCT 256-slice (6 cases). L5 transverse process and the fifth lumber nerve were reconstructed and observed on the workstations. Results In 22 cases of HTPL5V, there were 26 pseudarthrosis formation and 2 sides with L5 transverse process touching the sacral ala. In 28 sides the iffth lumber nerve traveled through false foramina of the HTPL5V including 6 cases of bilateral compression and 16 cases of unilateral compression. In 21 cases, the nerve was compressed by hyperosteogeny on 27 sides (96.4%) and 1 side due to stenosis (3.6%). On 25 sides (89.3%) the compressed nerves were curved in shaper. There was bulging and/or herniated lumbar disc on 9 sides in 7 cases (32.1%). Conclusion High-resolution CT reconstruction techniques can demonstrate the iffth lumbar nerve of HTPL5V and provide evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

BACKGROUND: Changes of elastic fibers in middle cerebral artery(MCA)is close related withthe aged cerebrovascular disease.OBJECTIVE: To observe the changes of elastic fibers of MCA in different aging rats.DESIGN: A descriptive and controlled study based on experimental animals.SETTING: Department of anatomy and central laboratory in a university.MATERIALS: Totally 36 healthy Wistar rats with either gender, weighing 200 - 280 g, were selected from the Animal Institute of the third medical military university of Chongqing[certification SCXX (army) 2002-007].INTERVENTIONS: Changes of elastic fibers of MCA of different aging rats were observed with light microscope, transmission electron microscope and image analysis system. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①) Major outcome: changes of elastic lamella in MCA of different aging rats; ②) Secondary outcome: ultramicrostructural changes of internal lamella under the transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: With the increase of age, the folded extent and quantity of internal elastic lamella were decreased, and the content of elastic fibers were also decreased significantly( P ＜ 0.01 ). However, the ratio of collagen fibers to elastic fibers was increased significantly( P ＜ 0.01 ) . In the aging group above 24 months, the internal elastic lamina thinned, delaminated and disrupted, and the lipid deposited in it. Endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells passed through the internal elastic lamina. CONCLUSION: Changes of elastic fibers may be related with the increased susceptibility to the cerebrovascular disease in aged people.

Objective To investigate the different components of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia(volatile oil, aqueous extract)on the expression of phosphorylated Tau protein at site Ser396 and Tau-5 in the hippocampus of rats with Alzheimer′s disease(AD). Methods Male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into 8 groups:normal control group, model control group,low-,middle-,and high-dose groups of volatile oil of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia,and low-, middle-,and high-dose groups of aqueous extract of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia. The subacute aging model was established by intraperitoneal injection of D-galactose( D-gal). Rats were given different components of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia(crude drug dosage,0.6,1.2,1.8 g·kg-1 )in experimental groups,and 0.9% sodium chloride solution in normal control group and model control group,by gavage for 28 days.The levels of phosphorylated Tau protein at site Ser396 and Tau-5 were detected in hippocampal tissues by Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Results The levels of phosphorylated Tau protein at site Ser396 were significantly enhanced in the model control group,as compared with those in normal control group (P<0.01).The relative expression levels of Tau protein Ser396 were 3.83±0.10,3.35±0.01,3.11±0.01,2.75±0.03,2.93±0.01,2.55± 0.07,and 2.23±0.08 in model control group,low-,middle-,and high-dose groups of volatile oil of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia,and low-,middle-,high-dose groups of aqueous extract of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia,respectively.Two components of Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia could dephosphorylate Tau protein Ser396 to vary degrees in a dose-dependent manner.The aqueous extract component was slightly better than the volatile oil component,especially in the high-dose group(P<0.01).But Tau-5 did not change significantly after treatment with Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia(P>0.05). Conclusion Acorus tatarinowii and Polygala tenuifolia could promote the dephosphorylation of Ser396 site of Tau protein in the hippocampus of AD rats,with the aqueous extract component having better effects.
