Objective To isolate and identify advanced oxidation protein products from human serum albumin (AOPP-HSA), expecting to search for a method of preparing highly purified and bioactive AOPP-HSA. Methods AOPP-HSA crude products were prepared in vitro by exposing HSA to HOCl. AOPP-HSA was isolated by gel chromatography and ion-exchange HPLC. Its structural features and biological activities were characterized by UV and fluorescence spectrum, SDS-PAGE, and the experiment of TNF-? release from monocytes. Results The isolated protein was purified up to 99.4% and was dityrosine-containing protein cross-linking products with molecular weight of 700?10 3. It possessed the ability of triggering the considerable release of TNF-? from monocytes. Conclusion Highly purified and bioactive AOPP-HSA can be successfully prepared by above-mentioned two-step chromatography from AOPP-HSA crude products, which builds a basis for further study of AOPP.

Objective To study the effect of human Slitrk1 gene on proliferation and differentiation of PC12 cells. Methods The CDS sequence of Slitrk1 was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into pcDNA4 vector. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA4/Slitrk1 were transfected into rat PC12 cells by lipofectamine. The stable expression cell clones were screened by RT-PCR. MTT method was used to detect the proliferation rate of PC12 cells. The morphologic changes in PC12 cells were observed microscopically. Results The stable cell lines expressing pcDNA4 (pcDNA4/PC12) and pcDNA4/Slitrk1 (ST1/PC12) were established. Compared to pcDNA4/PC12 cells, the growth rate of ST1/PC12 cells was decreased. In addition, pcDNA4/PC12 cells tend to grow as well as the normal PC12 cells. However, most of the ST1/PC12 cells adhered to the plate with one or two neurites. Conclusion Over-expression of human Slitrk1 gene inhibited the proliferation of PC12 cells and promoted the outgrowth of neurites. It is suggested that human Slitrk1 gene may be involved in differentiation of PC12 cells.

Objective: To design and synthesize a novel vector for rhBMP2 delivery system in tissue engineering. Methods:Dextran glycidol methacrylate(dex-GMA) was synthesized with dextran(dex) and glycidol methacrylate(GMA).Dex-GMA microspheres were prepared by suspension polymerization. The swelling behavior of the microspheres was evaluated by the swelling equilibrium parameter Q. The biodegradation properties of the dextran-based hydrogel microspheres were assessed by the surface morphology before and after biodegradation. Results:Microspheres of dex-GMA in the size(diameter) of 20 to 80 ?m with good configuration were produced. Q value of the microspheres with the diameter of 20-30 ?m was 10.9?3.3,that of those with 70-80 ?m 8.9?6.4.Stirring speed, span-80(emulsifer) quantity and the proportion of dex-GMA affected the size of the microspheres. rhBMP2 was enveloped into the microspheres. Complete degradation of the microspheres was observed during 20 to 40 days at 37 ℃ in normal saline. Conclusion: Dex-GMA hydrogel microspheres may be a release controlling system for rhBMP2 delivery.

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.

BACKGROUND: Techniques in the focal cerebral ischemia model in mice have been well developed in some foreign countries. However, rats are commonly used in cerebral ischemia studies due to resource availability in China.OBJECTIVE: To establish reliable and reproducible focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in mouse to explore the molecular mechanism of cerebral ischemia reperfusion process in genetic level.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Fundamental Medical Research Institute of Chengde Medical College. MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in Fundamental Medical Research Institute of Chengde Medical College from September 2002 to May 2003. Totally 30 Kunming mice (25 to 30 g), provided by Experimental Animal Center, Chengde Medical College, were randomly grouped as follows: control group, 6, 3-hour occlusion and 18-hour, 24-hour reperfusion, with 6 mice in each group respectively.INTERVENTIONS: Nylon thread (qb0.128 mm) was soaked in paraffin wax and inserted into internal carotid artery in mouse to reversibly occlude the middle cerebral at the right side after 3 hours, then was removed, and reperfusion was performed in 18, 24 hours, respectively.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The infarct volume was observed and neurological deficit scored was analysis.of mice in operation group was shown as head turning to left, adduction of left forelimb, internal rotation of shoulder, decrease of muscular tension of left forelimb, unable to straighten completely during tail lifted. At independent activity, mice turned to left as the left hidlegs as the center of a circle; under the abdomen, left forelimb was crossed with right forelimb as scissor shape. Palsy of left limbs was observed obviously, especially forelimb.tion was shown clearly with TTC. The infarct volumes were (13±2.3) mm3 and (16±4.5) mm3 for 18 hours and 24 hours reperfusion and 3-hour ischemia, respectively. Pathological changes were observed under light microscope after ischemia. The infarct volume increased as the increasing of reperfusion time, including 3-hour blocking and 18-hour and 24-hour reperfusion.CONCLUSION: Using suture method to establish focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in mice, it is less invasion and trauma without requiring skull opening. Ischemia position is relatively fixed, thus, ischemia reperfusion time can be controlled precisely. It is also an ideal animal model to study pathological changes in cerebral vascular diseases and an efficient tool to study the therapeutic effect of medicine after surgery.
