The full length cDNA of ?1,3 galactosyltransferase gene was amplified by RT PCR from the peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice, which was subcloned into an eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3 1/V5 HisA, and it was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The gastric cancer cell GC9811 was transfected with pCDNA3 1/V5 HisA?1,3GT by Lipofectamine TM 2000. The positive clone was screened by G418 for two months and confirmed by RT PCR. The gastric cells expressing Gal?(1,3)Gal epitope were detected by immuohistochemisty, and they were killed by naive antidoby specific to Gal?(1,3)Gal epitope. The results showed that the pCDNA3.1/V5 HisA?1,3GT was successfully constructed, and the transfected gastric cancer cells could highly express Gal?(1,3)Gal, which promoted lysis of the cancer cells by normal human serum.

0.05). Conclusion The birth injury has little impact on the apoptosis of urethral peripheral muscle cells,while the estrogen decrease may increase the cell apoptosis.

Objective To observe the effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) on patients with type A thoracolumbar fractures treated by pedicle screw fixation via dorsal-approach and vertebral body bone graft.Methods A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 64 patients with type A thoracolumbar fractures treated from June 2012 to July 2015.The patients were divided into control group (32 cases) and research group (32 cases) according to the random number table.There were 22 males and 10 females aged (48.2 ± 11.2)years old in control group.The injury was located at T11 in 2 cases,T12 in 4,L1 in 9,L2 in 7,L3 in 7 and L4 in 3 in control group.There were 24 males and 8 females aged (50.7 ± 11.4) years old in research group.The injury was located at T11in 2 cases,T12in 4,L1in 8,L2 in 8,L3 in 7 and L4 in 3.The control group was treated with posterior pedicle screw reduction,internal fixation and allograft cancellous bone grafting through pedicle of vertebral arch.The research group was treated with rhBMP-2 (mixed with cancellous bone implants) on the basis of the control group.The time of operation,the amount of bleeding during operation,the volume of postoperative bleeding,the amount of postoperative drainage,the recovery of the injured vertebra,the Lane-Sandhu score,the time of fracture healing,and the postoperative complications were compared.Results There was no difference between two groups on operation time,amount of bleeding during operation or amount of postoperative drainage (P ＞ 0.05).No difference existed in two groups about Cobb angle and injured vertebral leading edge height at one week after operation (P ＞ 0.05).At the time of last follow-up (12 months),in research group,Cobb angle was lower while injured vertebral leading edge height was much higher than that of control group (P ＜ 0.05),both of which were better than before (P ＜ 0.05).At 12 months after surgery,the lost Cobb angle of [(2.0 ± 0.7) °] and lost height of injured vertebral leading edge [(3.2 ± 1.0) ％] were smaller than those in control group [(5.6 ± 1.7) ° and (6.8 ± 2.4) ％ respectively] (P ＜ 0.05).The Lane-Sandhu score and healing time of fracture in research group were (8.9 ± 0.8) points and (6.9 ± 0.9) months,which were better than that (6.8 ±0.8)points and (8.4 ± 1.6)months in control group respectively (P＜0.05).The complication rate of research group was lower than that of control group,with no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Compared with simple vertebral bone graft,posterior thoracolumbar vertebrae pedicle screw fixation with vertebral bone graft and hBMP-2 treatment for type A thoracolumbar fractures can restore vertebral stability,shorten the time of fracture healing and reduce the incidence of complications.

Object To analyze the rDNA ITS sequences between wi ld plants and cultivars of Trapa L. and study the utility in p hylogenesis and identification of these two groups. Methods The ITS gene fragments were PCR amplified and sequenced. The rDNA ITS regions w ere analyzed by means of the software of Clustal and Mega 2.0. Result s The rDNA sequences of 234-236 bp ITS1, 220-221 bp ITS2 gene fragment , and 5.8 S rDNA for 164 bp evenly were obtained from ten populations of Trapa L. The intraspecific substitution varies from 0.22% to 2. 94%. The variable sites are 16 while informative sites are six. The phylogenet ic tree based on ITS data was set up by NJ method. Conclusion ITS sequence is a pretty good molecular marker which can identify wild plants of Trapa L. from their cultivars. Diversity of ITS in differen t populations is less at intraspecific level. It is infered that the plants of Trapa L. may be derived from the same population of one species .

Objective To identify the isolated rat bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs),and evaluate the efficiency of adenoviral vector expressing human urokinase type plasminogen activator(uPA) in transfection of rat MSCs and its effect on proliferation of MSCs. Methods MSCs were isolated and purified by pasted wall purification,and were identified by immunicytochemistry.The transfection efficiency of uPA was detected by fluorescent microscopy,the expression of uPA in MSCs was detected by Western blotting,and the proliferation of MSCs was evaluated by MTT. Results The harvested MSCs exhibited the typical appearance of MSCs,and it was revealed by immunohistochemistry that the expression of MSCs markers CD29 and CD90 was positive,while that of CD34 and CD45 was negative.A tendency of increase in expression of green fluorescent protein(GFP) was observed with increase of multiplicity of infection(MOI).After transfection with AduPA for 72 h,the transfection efficiency reached(94.0?1.5)% at MOI of 80,and positive GFP cells could still be observed even after 7 d.The transfected uPA had no effect on the proliferation of MSCs. Conclusion MSCs are favourable genetic vectors to express uPA,and can be used for treatment of liver fibrosis.

Objective To compare the effect of Baikerui compound lysostaphin (FE complex phosphoesterasum) disinfectant and povidone iodine in treatment of burn wound infection resulted from gram-positive (G ±) coccus.Methods The study involved 60 patients with superficial second degree burns (1％-5％ TBSA； age range of 18-50 years).All the patients received bacterial culturing of wound secretions prior to treatment.Every 20 patients were indentified with infection of staphylococcus aureus (SA),staphylococcus epidermidis (SE),and enterococcus (EC) respectively and randomized into control group and experiment group,with 10 patients per group.Patients allocated to the experiment group were covered with four-layer sterile gauze soaked into the Baikerui compound lysostaphin disinfectant,while the patients in the control group were treated with four-layer sterile gauze soaked into the povidone iodine.Dressing was changed once a day.Wound culturing was performed again at each day of the 5-day treatment.Wound healing was compared among each group.Results SA wound infection turned negative for all the 10 patients in experimental group and three patients in control group (P ＜ 0.01).SE wound infection turned negative for all the 10 patients in experimental group and six patients in control group (P ＜ 0.05).EC wound infection turned negative for nine patients in experimental group and seven patients in control group (P ＞ 0.05).Mean wound healing time was (10.87 ± 1.93) days for experimental group and (13.31 ± 2.89) days for control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Baikerui compound lysostaphin disinfectant can effectively prevent burn wound infection with common G + coccus and accelerate wound healing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of multiple-trough sampling design and nonlinear mixed effect modeling (NONMEM) algorithm on the estimation of population and individual pharmacokinetic parameters. Oxcarbazepine and tacrolimus were used as one-compartment and two-compartment model drugs, respectively. Seven sampling designs were investigated using various number of trough concentrations per individual ranging from 1-4. Monte Carlo simulations were performed to produce state-steady trough concentrations. One-compartment model was used to fit simulated data from oxcarbazepine and tacrolimus. The accuracy and precision of the estimated parameters were evaluated using the median prediction error (PE), the median absolute PE and boxplot. The results indicated that trough concentrations could yield reliable estimates of apparent clearance (CL/F). For oxcarbazepine, as the number of trough concentrations per subject increased, the accuracy and precision of CL/F, between-subject variability (BSV) of CL/F and residual variability (RUV) tended to be improved. For tacrolimus, however, although no improvement were observed in the accuracy of CL/F and BSV of CL/F, the PE distribution ranges were significantly narrowed and the RUV estimates were less bias and imprecise. In terms of algorithm, Monte Carlo importance sampling (IMP) and IMP assisted by mode a posteriori estimation (IMPMAP) were consistently better than other methods. Additionally, the sampling design had no significant effects on the individual parameter estimates, which were only depended on the interaction between BSV and RUV in various algorithms. Decreased in BSV and RUV levels can improve the accuracy and precision of the estimation for both population and individual pharmacokinetic parameter estimates.

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized from the extract of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma and the optimization of synthesis was studied. The absorbance of UV-visible spectroscopy was determined under the different influencing factors such as extracting time of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma powder, reation temperature of synthesis, volume of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma extract and concentration of AgNO3 to seek the optimization conditions. By means of FT-IR, TEM, DLS and XRD, the silver nanoparticles were characterized. The results showed that when the boiling time of Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma powder was 5 min, resultant temperature was 25 degrees C, the volume ratio of 0.1 g x mL(-1) Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma extract and 1 mmol x L(-1) AgNO3 was 1 to 10, and the reaction time was 3.5 h, the obtained silver nanoparticles had mean size about 27 nm and Zeta potential about -34.3 mV with good uniformity and dispersivity. Therefore, the green synthesis method of silver nanoparticles using extract of traditional Chinese medicine is stable and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the long-term outcome of acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization after cardiac surgery.Methods 1 770 patients underwent cardiac surgery in Fudan University Zhongshan Hospital from April 2009 to February 2011 were enrolled.Based on the Kidney Disease:Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline of AKI,the patients were divided into the AKI and the nonAKI groups,and followed up for 2 years.The 2-year survival rate and incidence of the advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) was compared between the two groups.Factors influencing the 2-year survival rate and incidence of the advanced CKD were also analyzed.Results Among all the patients,715 (40.4％) of them were developed AKT.(1) The 2-year survival rate of the AKI group was lower than that of the non-AKI group (83.2％ vs 93.6％ ;P ＜0.05).Compared with the non-AKI group,AKI group had an increased risk for death with the hazard ratio of 1.710 (95％ CI 1.250-2.340).COX regression analysis showed that AKI was an independent factor for death with the risk intensity just less than diabetes and chronic cardiac insufficiency.The advanced age,the preoperative history of chronic cardiac insufficiency and the time of staying in ICU also significantly increased the risk of death.(2) Compared with patients without AKI (0.2 ％),the incidence of the 2-year of advanced CKD was higher in patients with AKI (6.7 ％ ; P ＜ 0.05) with an hazard ratio of 31.220 (95 ％ CI 7.550-129.110).COX regression analysis showed that AKI was still the independent risk factor for advanced CKD after adjustment of other factors.In addition,diabetes,the time of the cardiopulmonary bypass and the time of staying in ICU were also associated with the risk for the advanced CKD.Conclusions AKI is common after cardiac surgery,which was associated with a decrease in the 2-year survival rate and an increase in the incidence of advanced CKD of patients,which emphasized the importance of prevention and treatment of AKI,and close follow-up of renal function for the improvement of patient long-term prognosis.

AIM: To observe effect of the iris location to femtosecond - combined wavefront guided LASIK for myopia and astigmatism.?METHODS:The patients with astigmatism >1. 0D during the same time and followed up for 1a were selected. A total of 129 eyes in 67 patients were treated under iris location with femtosecond-combined wavefront guided LASIK ( experimental group) and 161 eyes in 82 cases with femtosecond-combined wavefront guided LASIK ( control group) . Laser cutting went with the same laser machine. The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) , and wavefront aberration between the two groups were compared at 1, 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery.?RESULTS:At 1 and 3mo after surgery, the number of patients with better postoperative UCVA than preoperative BCVA between the two group showed a statistically significant difference (χ2=6. 423, P=0. 011,χ2=14. 431, P=0. 01 ); at 1d and 1mo after surgery, the residual astigmatism showed a statistically significant difference between two groups (t=1. 98, P<0. 05; t=2. 23, P<0. 05). At 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery, the differences on the change of residual astigmatism between the two groups weren’t significant ( P > 0. 05 ). At 6mo and 1a after surgery, the differences on UCVA between the two groups weren’t significant ( P > 0. 05 ). Until 1a after surgery, the root mean square ( RMS ) of high order wavefront aberration of the two groups, spherical aberration and coma aberration ( COMA ) were all enhanced compared to before surgery(P<0. 05). At 1, 3mo after surgery, the RMS showed a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0. 05). At 1, 3, 6mo, 1a after surgery, the increase of COMA in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0. 05).? CONCLUSION: Iris location technology applied in femtosecond - combined wavefront guided LASIK for myopia and astigmatism, can make the vision recovery faster, the RMS of high order and COMA increase less, the residual astigmatism less, show better and more stable treatment effect.
