Objective To study the relationship of HPV pseudo-neutralizing titers detected by two different reporter genes: Zoanthus sp. green fluorescent protein (ZsGreen) and secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) , and the relationship between HPV the pseudovirus-neutralizing antibody titer and the antibody titer determined by ELISA method. Methods The plasmids with expression cassettes of the HPV capsid protein L1 and L2 genes after codon optimization and the plasmid with reporter gene (ZsGreen or SEAP) were co-transfected into 293FT cells. The cell lysate supernatants were collected after 48 h culture, then the pseudovirus was purified through POROS column chromatography from the supernatants. After the titer of pseudovirus bulk were measured, HPV-16 and HPV-18 pseudovirus-neutralization assays were carried out for determining the titer of sera collected from immunized mice with HPV candidate vaccine and Gardasil HPV vaccine. Results In statistical analysis, the two reporter gene systems for the detection of the pseudovirus neutralizing antibody titer are highly relevant to each other (Spearman coefficient; r = 0. 760). And their neutralizing antibody titers bear a high degree of correlation with the antibody titer (Spearman coefficient: r= 0.577 and r =0. 741). Conclusion ZsGreen and SEAP pseudovirus neutralizing antibody titers are highly relevant to each other. The neutralizing antibody and the antibody titer are also relevant. These results reveal some mechanism of HPV vaccines to prevent the virus from invading the host cells, and are absolutely useful in the protection efficiency evaluation of the HPV-16 and HPV-18 candidate vaccines.

Aim To explore whether edaravone (EDA), a novel free radical scavenger, protects H9c2 cardiac cells against doxorubicin ( DOX )-induced car-diotoxicity. Methods H9c2 cells were treated with 5μmol·L-1 DOX to establish a model of DOX cardio-toxicity. Cell viability was examined by cell counter kit ( CCK-8 ) . Changes in morphology and amount of ap-optotic cells were detected by Hoechst 33258 staining;intracellular level of reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) was measured by DCFH-DA staining and photofluorog-raphy;mitochondrial membrane potential ( MMP) was observed by rhodamine 123 ( RH123 ) staining and photoflurograph; the expression level of caspase-3 was determined by Western blot assay. Results Pretreat-ment of H9 c2 cells with 20 , 40 and 80 μmol · L-1 EDA for 60 min markedly inhibited cytotoxicity in-duced by 5 μmol · L-1 DOX, respectively, as evi-denced by an increase in cell viability. The protective effect induced by 40 μmol · L-1 EDA was maximal. Pretreatment of H9 c2 cells with 40 μmol · L-1 EDA for 30 , 60 , 90 and 120 min significantly attenuated DOX-induced cytotoxicity, respectively, having a max-imal protection at 60 min. Furthermore, pretreatment of H9 c2 cells with 40 μmol · L-1 EDA for 60 min be-fore exposure to 5 μmol · L-1 DOX for 24 h obviously reduced cardiac injuries, as evidenced by decreases in the DOX-induced intracellular ROS generation, num-ber of apoptotic cells, and expression of cleaved caspase-3, as well as loss of MMP. Conclusions EDA can protect H9 c2 cardiac cells against DOX-in-duced cardiotoxicity, this protection may be associated with inhibition of ROS production and preservation of MMP.

Thirty seven patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) were divided into cilazapril group (n=19) and general treatment group (n=18). Serum levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) ,interleukin-8 (IL-8) , interleukin-10(IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) , left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), cardiac output (CO) and fractional shortening (FS) were measured before and after treatment. Serum levels of cytokines were also measured in 40 healthy individuals (control group). Results: The serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and TNF-α in CHF patients were significantly higher than those in the control group ( all P<0.01 ) ; After treatment, the serum IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.01 ,P<0.05 ) in the cilazapril group. The LVEF, FS, CO were significantly increased in the Cilazapril group ( P<0.01 ) ; And the serum levels of IL-6 were significantly decreased in the cilazapril group as compared with the general treatment group ( P<0.05 ), however, after treatment, the EF, LVEF, FS and CO had no statistical differences in the cilazapril group as compared with the general treatment group. In the control group only LVEF and FS improved(P<0.01) ; Cytokine levels showed no changes. It suggests that cilazapril can reduce the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, increased the serum levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine, protect and improved cardiac function in the patients with congestive heart failure.

Influenza A/H1N1 virus-encoded nonstructural, or NS1, protein inhibits the 3'-end processing of cellular pre-mRNAs by binding the cellular protein: the 30-kDa subunit of CPSF (cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor, CPSF30). CPSF30 binding site of the NS1 protein is a potential target for the development of drugs against influenza A/H1N1 virus. A yeast two-hybrid screening system was constructed and used for screening Chinese medicines that inhibit the interaction of the A/H1N1 flu NS1 protein and human CPSF30 protein. The NS1 gene of A/H1N1 virus was amplified by consecutive polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the human CPSF30 gene of HeLa cell cloned by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Then the two gene fragments confirmed by sequencing were subcloned into the yeast expression vectors pGBKT7 and pGADT7, respectively. The two constructs, bait vector pGBKNS1 and prey vector pGADCPSF, were co-transformed into yeast AH109. The eight individual yeast colonies were picked and subjected to verification by PCR/gel electrophoresis. The inhibition of the NS1-CPSF30 interaction was allowed the identification of selective inhibitors. The four of more than thirty identified Chinese medicines, including 'Shuanghuanglian oral liquid', showed the strong inhibition of the NS1-CPSF30 interaction.
