Objective Concluding the clinical feature and prognosis of primary testicular lymphoma to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods During 1995 and 2010,17 cases of primary testicular lymphoma treated in Beijing Friendship Hospital of Capital Medical University were retrospectively analyzed of its clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis.Results Seventeen patients with a mean age of 68 years complained the testicular sohd mass as their first symptoms.The mean tumor diameter was 4.7 cm,and all patients underwent orchidectomy,and testicular non- Hodgkin's lymphoma was confirmed by pathologic examination.Fourteen cases were diffuse large B cell type and 3 cases were anaplastic large cell type.The clinical stage of all the patients was IE.Fourteen cases were followed up (3 cases were lost)with mean follow-up time of 37.8 months by outpatient interview and telephone,all patients were treated with CHOP chemotherapy,and some of them were combined with rituximab and preventive lowdose pelvic radiotherapy.Five cases died of other chronic medical complications,1 case with contralateral testicular metastasis received surgery again.There were 9 tumor free survival cases in total.Conclusion Primary testicular lymphoma is rare and more common in older men.Postoperative pathologic diagnosis is gold standard.The systemic treatment and individual therapy is the first choice for primary testicular lymphoma.

Objective To evaluate the effects of pregnancy and delivery on allograft function and newborns in renal transplant recipients.Methods The effects of pregnancy and delivery on allograft function and newborns in 3 renal transplant recipients were observed and analyzed.The age of the 3 recipients was 32,31 and 31 years,respectively,at pregnancy.They all received triple immunosuppressive therapy(CSA+AZA+prednisone) for the prevention of acute rejection after renal transplantation.Results No acute rejection occurred during pregnancy,and the liver and renal functions were normal in the 3 patients.Preeclampsia occurred in 2 of them.Caesarean section was performed successfully on them at 34,38 and 37 gestational weeks,respectively.The weight of the neonates was 2350 g,3800 g and 3800 g,respectively;and the Apgar scores of the newborns were all 10.(Apgar scores include appearance,pulse,grimace,activity,and respiration.Apgar score ≥8 means newborns in healthy status).After follow-up for 14-46 months,there was no abnormity of the function of transplanted renal and the upgrowth of the newborns.Conclusions Successful pregnancy and delivery are possible in renal transplant recipients with normal renal function.

Xanthine oxidase (XOD), catalyzing purine metabolism, is the key enzyme in uric acid (UA) biosynthesis, and becomes an important target for hyperuricemia treatment. The inhibition on XOD plays an important role in the treatment of hyperuricemia-related diseases, such as gout, as well as oxidative stress-induced tissue injury. Here, studies on the natural products with XOD inhibition are reviewed.

To gain a better understanding of the genetic diversity and evolution of PRRSV in the Ningxia Hui Nationality Autonomous Region (Ningxia) of China, the nsp2 genes from a series of PRRSV strains collected from the region in 2007 were partially sequenced. These sequences were then analyzed along with the classical strain (ch-la) and two other epidemic strains SD (3) and SD2006. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence with ch-la indicated that nsp2 genes of seventeen Ningxia isolates (NX strain) have deletions of 87 nucleotides. Sequence analysis indicated that homology between the Ningxia strain and ch-la was 60.3%-79.9% in the nucleotide sequence, and homology between the NX strains and SD strains was 80.3%-98.8% in the nucleotide sequence. The nsp2 genes of the seventeen isolates had 74.9%-100% nucleotide sequence identities with each other. This study was undertaken to assess the regional variation of prevalent PRRSV and to establish a sequence database for PRRSV molecular epidemiological studies.

Objective To compare the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway-Advance (ALMA) and laryngeal mask airway-Supreme (S-LMA) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods Two hundred and forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-64 yr,weighing 50-70 kg,undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy,were randomly divided into2 groups (n=120 each):group S-LMA (group S) and group A-LMA (group A).LMA was inserted after induction of general anesthesia with propofol 2.0-2.5 mg/kg,sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg and rocuronium 0.6 mg/kg.After LMA was placed,the rim was immediately inflated and positive pressure was applied to the reservoir bag of anesthesia machine circuit to check for leaks.The plateau pressure at which leaks occurred was recorded.BP,HR,SpO2,PErCO2 and Ppeak were monitored during operation.Fiberoptic bronchoscopy was performed and the placement was scored (0 =unable to see the vocal cords and the ventilation of the lungs was inadequate,4=vocal cords were clearly seen and ventilation was adequate).The rate of successful placement,placement time,the incidence of leaks during operation,duration of anesthesia and surgery,extubation time,emergence time,blood stain on the LMA after being removed,backflow after extubation and postoperatve complacations including sore throat,hoarseness and dysphagia were recorded.The efficacy for airway management and the difficulty of placement were scored.Results There was no significant difference in the rate of successful placement,difficulty of placement scores,blood stain on the LMA after being removed,incidence of backflow,sore throat,hoarseness and dysphogia,anesthesia time,duration of surgery,extubation time and emergence time between the two groups.The placement time was shorter in group S than in group A,but the airway sealing pressure,FOB scores and efficacy for airway management scores were significantly higher and the incidence of leaks during operation was significantly lower in group A than in group S.Conclusion Both A-LMA and S-LMA can provide adequate ventilation during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.The efficacy of A-LMA is better.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B is a potential target for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. We have previously identified the benzoyl sulfathiazole derivative II as a non-competitive PTP1B inhibitor with in vivo insulin sensitizing effects. Preliminary SAR study on this compound series has been carried out herein, and thirteen new compounds have been designed and synthesized. Among them, compound 10 exhibited potent inhibition against human recombinant PTP1B with the IC50 value of 3.97 micromol x L(-1), and is comparable to that of compound II.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pregnancy and delivery after renal transplantation (RT)on recipients,graft and offspring.Methods Clinical data of 6 pregnancies in 5 recipients were retrospectively studied and literature was reviewed.Results Among them,6 pregnancies and 4 deliveries occurred in 5 female RT recipients.The mean age at pregnancy was 31.1 years,with a mean interval between RT and pregnancy being 3.6 years.Preeclampsia developed in two pregnancies and hyperlipemia in one pregnancy.One RT recipient who discontinued immunosuppressant following pregnancy on her own exhibited subsequent renal failure.She underwent a second RT and delivered a healthy baby two years following the second RT.One RT recipient decreased the immunosuppressant dose to half after the pregnancy on her own and developed renal failure thereafter.Four patients underwent a Cesarean section at 38 th,35 th,35 th,and 38 th week,respectively.The mean birth weight was 3262.5 g with all Apgar scores of 10.Conclusion Our data coupled with prior reports suggest that for the recipients with normal renal function,successful pregnancy is achievable if immunosuppressant was taken correctly,but the pregnancy is at high risk,and careful monitoring is needed.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of breakthrough varicella-zoster virus infection during the varicella outbreaks in Minhang District of Shanghai in 2013-2014. Methods Samples of the varicella-zoster liquid were collected from patients with chickenpox in Minhang District in 2013-2014 and used for the extraction of genomic DNA. The open reading frame ( ORF) of 22 and 62 regions were se-quenced and further analyzed by using bioinformatics methods. Results A total of 24 samples were success-fully collected and sequenced, and all of them were wild strains. Among the 24 varicella-zoster virus strains, 23 strains were highly homologous to the parental strain ( P-Oka) and the vaccine strain ( V-Oka) , indica-ting that they belonged to J genotype. Only one strain, whose genotype was between M and E, was highly ho-mologous to the mosaic( M) CA123 strain ( M1 genotype) , indicating that it might belong to M1 genotype. Conclusion The epidemic strains of varicella-zoster virus in Minhang District were mainly J genotype. Lo-cal epidemic of M and other genotypes of varicella-zoster virus also existed. There were some gene variations in different strains of J genotype. These varicella-zoster virus strains of non-vaccine genotypes might be one of the reasons causing the breakthrough cases of chicken pox.

The bacteriophage T7 RNAP gene was amplified via PCR from -lysogen DE3, and the gene was cloned into pBABEpuro retrovial vector, a recombinant plasmid named as pT7BABEpuro was constructed and sequenced. Then the pT7BABEpuro and pVSV-G plasmids were cotransfected into GP2-293 packaging cells by liposomese, some pseudotype viruses were ingathered and transfected into IBRS-2 cell under polybrene. The IBRS-2 cell was propagated in DMEM with puromycin. The genome extraction from the cells transfected different times, the T7 RNAP gene was amplified from the genome by PCR, the mRNA of T7 RNAP protein expressed in IBRST7 cells was analyzed by RT-PCR, respectively, the results showed the T7 RNAP gene had been integrated into the chromosome of IBRS-2 cell and expressed stably at high level. To study whether T7 RNAP is of transcriptional activity in the established IBRST7 cell line, a plasmid pIERS-EGFP-ET with a reporter gene (EGFP) under control of the T7 promoter was constructed. IRES element from FMDV (for CAP-independent translation) was cloned into plasmid pET-43.1a-c(+) downstream of the T7 promoter sequence, then EGFP gene was cloned in frame downstream of the AUG codon of the FMDV IRES, resulting in the plasmid. IBRST7 cells were transfected with plasmid pIERS-EGFP-ET using lipfection, EGFP was expressed, the results showed the T7 RNAP in IBRST7 cells has transcriptional activity. IBRST7 cell line was directly transfected with linearized full-length cDNA of swine vesicular disease virus (SVDV) HK/70, infectious SVDV was efficiently recovered from the cDNA. The reverse genetic procedure is simplified to a faster, one step protocol to recover RNA virus and will be useful to understand the mechanisms of molecular pathology of RNA virus and develop effective vaccines.

Objective To observe the influence of the short effect antihypertension drugs- nifedipine and medial effect antihypertension drugs- extended release nifedipine on the blood pressure variability (BPV) in essential hypertension(EH). Methods Twenty-five EH patients were underwent 24-hour noninvasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and observed their BPV respectively before taking drugs, after taking nifedipine and extended release nifedipine. Meantime,25 normotensive controls (NC) were observed. Results (1)BPV in EH group was higher than that in controlled group and the severer the rise of blood pressure, the more obvious the increase of BPV (P 0.05). Conclusions Nifedipine could increase BPV but extended release nifedipine did not change BPV while they decreased blood pressure. Effect of extended release nifedipine was better than nifedipine in decreasing blood pressure.
