1.Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation Assay:Application in The Study of Protein-protein Interaction
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(06):-
Bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay is an innovative approach to investigate protein interactions, based on the reassembly of protein fragments of the fluorescent proteins which directly report interactions. The fluorescent proteins tolerate circular permutation and insertions of foreign proteins with maintenance of fluorescence. So when the proteins fused to the reporter fragments interact with each other, a direct readout of the association would be given from the facilitating reassembly of the active reporter protein. Moreover, with distinct spectra difference of the fluorescent protein family members, BiFC assay is expanded to multicolor BiFC assay which enables visualization of interactions between different proteins in the same cell and comparison of the efficiencies of complex formation with alternative interaction partners. From it first reported in Molecular Cell in 2002 till now, this approach has been used on the networks of protein interaction in mammal cells, plant cells or even E.coli, and researches on transcription factors, G protein ?? dimmers, protein ubiqutination and so on.

Objective To discuss the treatment choices of varicocele by laparoscopic. Methods Retrospective analysis clinical datas of 337 patients with primary varicocele above grade Ⅱ.All of them were treated by operation and followed-up,238 cases had scrotum pain.265 cases were infertility after married.History of diseases was between 1-13 years.249(197 patients with infertility)were treated with laparoscopic high selective ligation of spermatic veins,as Group A.88(68 patiets with infertility)were treated with laparoscopic cluster ligation,as Group B.The clinical data were compared. Results Three hundreds and thirty-seven cases were followed-up 2 years after operation.The operative times of two groups were(38.04±10.9)min、(19.04±7.5)min,the incidences of hydrocelewere 0.4%(1/249),11.3%(10/88);theincidences oftesticular atrophywere 0%(0/249),3.4%(3/88);the improving rates of semen quality in 3 months were 77.1%(192/249),62.5%(55/88);the spontaneous pregnant rates of his spouses in 2 years were 56.8%(112/197),39.7%(27/68).There were significant differences among the 2 groups(P<0.05).The recurrence rates were 5.6%(14/249),4.5%(4/88),there was no significant difference among the 2 groups(P>0.05).

Objective To summarize the experience of mammotome minimally invasive biopsy in detection of early breast cancer.Methods 1000 cases with breast lesions underwent minimally invasive surgery under imaging guided mammotome.Results By intraoperative frozen section,10 cases of early breast cancer was found,with 3 millimetre as the minimum lesion diameter,among whom 4 cases were intraductal carcinoma,5 cases were infiltrating ductal carcinoma,and 1 case was mixed carcinoma.Axillary lymph node metastasis was found in only 1 case.Conclusions Non-palpable small lesions cant be ignored.Ultrasound-guided mammotome minimally invasive surgery can accurately position and specifically diagnose non-palpable small lesions or multiple lesions,as well as suspicious malignant lesions.Benign lesions can be directly resected by uhrasound-guided mammotome minimally invasive surgery,which is of great value in detection of early breast cancer.
5.Novel therapeutic targets for post-traumatic stress disorder:endocannabinoid system
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 2017;33(2):375-379
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a kind of mental disorder that usually occurs after life-threatening and strong mental traumas .Clinical studies showed that the PTSD patients are 3 times more likely to have can-nabis as compared with the healthy people .The use of cannabinoids has a close relationship with the occurrence and clini-cal manifestations of PTSD .Experimental studies revealed that endocannabinoid ( eCB) signal alterations in animal models of PTSD influenced fear memory of the animals , suggesting a close correlation between the eCB system and the pathogenesis of PTSD.Given that the eCB system was reported to regulate affective states and participate in memory consolidation , re-trieval and extinction , targeting the eCB system may improve the emotional and cognitive features of PTSD , thereby holding out great promise for the development of novel approaches for clinical treatment of PTSD .

Objective To investigate the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)in regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) gene C-28G(RANTES C-28G),RANTES A-403G and Eotaxin-3 gene C +77T(Eotaxin-3 C+77T) with asthma in Han ethnic children. Methods The buccal mucosa swabs of 192 Han ethnic children with asthma (asthma group) were collected,and polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was employed to detect the SNP loci of RANTES A-403G,C-28G and Eotaxin-3 C+77T.Besides,another 192 healthy subjects (aged 18 to 22 years) without sibship with those in asthma group were served as controls.Genotype and genotypic distribution between these two groups were analysed. Results There was no significant differences in genotype and genotypic distribution of SNP loci of RANTES A-403G and RANTES C-28G between asthma group and control group (P>0.05),while there were significant differences in genotypic distribution of Eotaxin-3 C+77T between these two groups.The frequency of Eotaxin-3 C+77T T/T genotype in asthma group was significantly higher than that in control group (32.3% vs 12.5%,OR=3.44,P=0.000). Conclusion Eotaxin-3 C+77T may be the asthma susceptible SNP loci for Han ethnic children,and Eotaxin-3 C+77T T/T is significantly related with the development of childhood asthma

Background:The prognosis of systemic lupus erythematosus complicated with lupus enteropathy is poor. At present, studies on pathogenesis of lupus enteropathy are rare. Aims:To investigate the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1)and intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP) in lupus enteropathy in mice. Methods:Twenty MRL/ lpr lupus mice were randomly divided into two groups:lupus enteropathy group and control group. Lupus enteropathy model was established by administration with TNBS enema. Histological score was assessed,expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and I-FABP were determined by immunohistochemistry, and correlations with histological score were analyzed. Results:Compared with control group,histological score was significantly increased (8. 1 ± 5. 8 vs. 0. 8 ± 0. 5,P = 0. 000),expressions of ICAM-1 (9. 4% ± 2. 1% vs. 6. 2% ± 1. 1%),VCAM-1 (15. 1% ± 2. 1% vs. 12. 2% ± 1. 9%)and I-FABP (17. 5% ± 2. 5% vs. 6. 1% ± 0. 9%)were significantly increased (P < 0. 05)in lupus enteropathy group. Expressions of ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and I-FABP in colon tissue in lupus enteropathy group were positively correlated with histological score (r = 0. 870,P = 0. 010;r = 0. 881,P =0. 010;r = 1. 000,P = 0. 000). Conclusions:ICAM-1,VCAM-1 and I-FABP may be associated with pathogenesis of lupus enteropathy.
