HIV-1 integrase enzyme is a 32kDa protein encoded by HIV pol gene. It is responsible for integration of viral cDNA into host chromosomal DNA, which is indispensable for HIV replication.Since there was no functional equivalent for this enzyme in human cells, inhibition of integrase will bring little side effect to human body. Thus HIV integrase has become an attractive and rational target for therapy of AIDS after reverse transcriptase and protease.The Recent research on HIV-1integrase structure,inhibitors and new therapeutic method target at HIV integrase was reviewed.

Objective To investigate the proliferation and collagen secretion of transplanted human fibroblasts.Methods The solution containing human fibroblasts(2?1010L-1)was prepared and 1 mL was injected into the dermis of BALB/CNU nude mice.Animals were killed by the end of the 1st,2nd and 3rd month after injection.The dermis in the injected area was taken out and stained with HE.Immunohistochemical staining for type I and type Ⅲ collagen was performed at the same time.Results Mitosis was observed by the end of the 1st,2nd and 3rd month.The concentration of type I and type Ⅲ collagen in the extra cellular matrix increased with the passing of time.Conclusion Transplanted human fibroblasts can proliferate automatically in the dermis of nude mice and manufacture the type I and type Ⅲ collagen in situ.Long period of survival and secretion will make it possible for fibroblasts to become promising option to correct minimal tissue defects.

Chemical weapons(CW), as weapons of mass destruction on the battlefield , made their debut in the First World War of the last century .To achieve total prohibition on CW , the international community concluded the Chemical Weapons Convention(CWC)in 1993, and it came into force in 1997.So far, only seven countries have been outside the CWC.The offensive and defensive pattern of the world changed then , and the world began to enter the post-CW era.A chemical terrorist attack perspective is needed in consideration of chemical threats facing the world .This article summarizes the experience on specific chemical attacks , analyzes the possibility , sources, types and developments of a chemical terror-ist attack, and puts forward countermeasures for any possible chemical terrorist attack .

Objective To investigate the effect of carbon monoxide(CO) on hydrogen sulfide(H_2S)/cystathionine-?-lyase system(CSE) in vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) of spontaneous hypertensive rats(SHR).Methods The SHR VSMC were divided into 2 groups:experimental group(hemin was added to the culture media at a concentration of 10 ?mol/L)and control group (dimethyl sulfoxide was added to the culture media at an equal volume).The content of H_2S in the cultrue media was measured by sulfide electrode method,and the CSEmRNA level was assayed by competitive reversed transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Compared with control group,the content of H_2S in the culture media of hemin-treated SMCs was significantly lower[(16.03? 2.14) ?mol/L vs (13.31?1.74)?mol/L],and the CSEmRNA level in hemin-treated SMCs was decreased markedly(0.17?0.04 vs 0.13?0.03).Conclusion CO can down-regulate the H_2S/CSE system in SMC of SHR.

Objective To investigate the effect of nitric oxide on hydrogen sulfide/ cystathionine-?-lyase(CSE) system in the vascular smooth muscle cells of spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Methods The SHR aortic smooth muscle cells(SMCs) were divided into 2 groups: sodium nitroprusside(SNP) group and control group.The content of hydrogen sulfide in the culture media was measured by sulfide electrode method,and the CSE mRNA level was assayed by competitive reversed transcription-polymerase chain reaction((RT-PCR)).Results Compared with control group,the content of hydrogen sulfide in the culture media of SNP group was significantly higher [(16.16?3.71) ?mol/L vs(22.71?4.84) ?mol/L],and the CSE mRNA level in SMCs in SNP group was lower than that of control group.Conclusion Nitric oxide exerted complicated effect on the hydrogen sulfide/CSE system in the SHR smooth muscle cells.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):140-141

0.05)and the TNM staging (P=0.55).A mild elevated compared other pathological classification was found in small cell lung cancer (0.191?0.275).Conclusions The results showed that RFQ-PCR was suitable for measurement of the mRNA level of PLKI in bronchoscopic bioptic specimens.This study suggest elevated expression of PLK1 might play a important role in development of lung cancer,so that PLK1 might be a potential tumor marker for Lung cancers.Advanced studies will be needed to clarify that PLKI mRNA level do not relate to TNM staging and pathological classification.

Objective To study the clinical effect of posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) using expandable cage in treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.Methods Twenty patients who underwent PLIF using expandable cage for lumbar spondylolisthesis were retrospectively analyzed.The operative time and transoperative bleeding were recorded.Postoperative regularity follow-up X-ray and CT,the olisthy rate,intervertebral height index and intervertebral fusion were observed.The lumbar function improvement was assessed by Oswestry disability index (ODI).Results All the patients were successfully operated,the operative time was 100-160 (123.3 ± 16.4) min,transoperative bleeding was 350-600 (464.0 ± 78.7) ml.The follow-up time was 12-36 (24.3 ± 7.3) months,symptoms were significantly improved.During the follow-up duration,20 patients obtained bony fusion.According to the reforming Macnab grade standard,excellent was in 14 cases,good was in 4 cases,acceptable was in 2 cases,the rate of excellent and good was 90.0%(18/20).The ODI score and olisthy rate postoperative 6 months and last follow-up were significantly lower than preoperative,and ODI score last follow-up was significantly lower than that postoperative 6 months,there were statistical differences (P < 0.05).The intervertebral height index postoperative 6 months and last follow-up were significantly higher than that preoperative,there were statistical differences (P <0.05).There was no statistical difference in olisthy reset rate between postoperative 6 months and last followup (P >0.05).The last followed-up,There were no expandable cage subsidence or displacement,intervertebral space collapse and intervertebral height loss.Conclusions As a new production,expandable cage is an effective tool on treating lumbar spondylolisthesis,it can effectively restore the intervertebral height and the biological mechanical properties of the lumbar vertebrae.This study indicates that expandable cage is an effective and safe products for lumbar interbody fusion,which maintained a lower complication rate and better results.

Objective To study the GPⅡb/Ⅲa gene mutations of eight glanzmann thrombasthenia(GT) pedigrees. Methods Responses of eight probands to different agonists were observed by platelet aggregation test and the amount of αⅡb and β3 was determined by flow cytometry. All the exons of Ⅱb and Ⅲ a genes were amplified by PCR followed by sequencing for mutational screening. Further analysis of the normal population excluded the possibility of mutational sites as a polymorphism. Results Eight probands showed normal PLT counts, dispersion of the platelet particles without aggregation, prolonged bleeding time and severely reduced platelet aggregation in response to the physiological agonists- ADP, epinephrine, and collagen, but relatively normal aggregation of PLT in response to ristocetin. Flow cytometry showed that all probande were Ⅰ type GT, except that proband 2 was Ⅲ type GT and proband 6 was Ⅱ type GT. The sequencing results showed that twelve different types mutations were present in eight probands, including GIOA, Gl412T, GII99A, 1525deiC, G2223T, C2671T, 2930delG, IVSI5 (-1) delG, A2334C, C1750T, 69-79del and CA70A. We were not able to detected any mutations in GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa gone on proband 3. Conclusions GT is mainly caused by GPⅡb/Ⅲa gene mutations. G10A, 69-79del, C470A,G1412T, G2223T, C2671T and 1525delC were the novel mutations causing GT.
