Journal of International Pharmaceutical Research 2010;37(4):302-309
Objective: To establish the high-throughput screening system for β-secretase (β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1, BACE1) inhibitors in vitro. Methods: Using the homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) technique to establish a high-throughput screening system for BACE1 inhibitors according to the extent that test compounds inhibited BACE1 activity by optimizing the incubation time, enzyme concentration and the detector. Results: A high-throughput screening system for BACE1 inhibitors based on HTRF methods was established. The incubation time was 6 h, the BACE1 concentration is 670 U/L. According to the detector of VICTOR3, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio reached 649.6, while the signal-to-background (S/B) ratio and Z′ factor were 44.6 and 0.91, respectively. The coefficient of variation (CV) was much lower than 10%. Using this method, the inhibitors with IC50<106mol/L could be screened out. Conclusion: The high-throughput screening system based on HTRF Could assure a high sensitivity, specificity and stability, which could be used to high-through put screening for the BACE1 inhibitors.

Objective To improve treatment success rate and prognosis for patients with bifrontal contusions by intracranial pressure monitoring.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 cases of bifrontal contusions admitted between October 2004 and April 2012.The patients were divided into intracranial pressure monitoring group (n =40) and group without intracranial pressure monitoring (n =39),according to the treatments.Significance of high coronary craniotomy timing,surgical strategy and intracranial pressure monitoring in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis was analyzed.Results The intracranial pressure monitoring group showed a significantly shorter period concerning osmotic dehydration [(14.24 ± 7.93) days vs (21.61 ± 11.97)days,P<0.01],ICU stay [(14.38 ±7.56)days vs (24.71-± 17.94)days,P<0.01] and total hospital stay [(17.20 ±8.09)days vs (33.92 ± 21.70)days,P<0.01] as well as a better GOS [(4.15 ± 1.22) points vs (3.69 ± 1.56) points,P < 0.05],as compared with group without intracranial pressure monitoring.Conclusions Craniotomy,especially decompressive craniectomy,is one of the most important treatment means to control cranial pressure and ensure cerebral perfusion pressure in patients with bifrontal contusions (in particular the moderate and severe ones).Besides,intracranial pressure monitoring is conducive to selection of surgery timing and is instructive to combined treatment,such as osmotherapy,intracranial pressure controlling and assurance of cerebral perfusion pressure.

Objective To investigate the genetic relationship of the Dengue virus strains isolated in Guangdong province in 2006 and 2007, and to find the sources of these virus. Methods Serum samples of the dengue fever patients from 5 cities of Guangdong province in 2006 and 4 cities in 2007 were collected. Three pairs of primers that specific for amplifying the 3 overlap fragments of E gene of Dengue virus type Ⅰ were designed. RNAs were extracted from C6/36 cells treated with patients' serum. E genes were amplified by RT-PCR, purified and then sequenced directly. To obtain the E gene complete sequences, the raw sequences were assembled and edited. Obtained E genes were compared with E genes of other Dengue virus type Ⅰ published in the GenBank, analyzed by MEGA version 4.1 software. Results In 2006, virus circulating in Guaogzhou2006(EF508203) was closest to Vietnam2006(EU482539) with 99.3% nucleotides homology, Chaozhou2006 (EF508206) and Shantou2006 (EF508207) strains were closest to Japan2004 (AB178040) and Singapore2006 (EU081280) with 99.5% nucleotides homology, while Yangjiang2006 (EF508205) and Yangjiang2001 (EF508200) were closest to each other and both with 99.5% nucleotides homology to Thailand2001 (AY732482). All 4 Dengue virus strains circulated in 2007 were closest to Singapore2005(EU081276) with 99.7% nueleotides homology. Conclusion The Dengue viruses prevalent in 2006 were from different sources while those in 2007 came from the same origin. The data also showed that there was an endemic area of Dengue virus in Guangdong province.
