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 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.

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). Conclusion Laparoscopic high selective ligation of spermatic veins in this study had less complications,higher improving rates of semen quality and pregnant rates.

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 better understand the knowledge, attitudes, practice (KAP) status and relative demand to post abortion family planning service (PAFPS) in medical staffs of obstetrics and gynecology department in Tianjin. Meth?ods By using random, stratified and clustered sampling approach, 290 obstetrics and gynecology personnels in Tianjin were selected. A Self-Administered Questionnaire on PAFPS KAP was employed to survey the general characteristics, aware?ness of PAFPS knowledge, attitudes to PAFPS and the occurrence of unintended pregnancy themselves, and service capabili?ties of PAFPS and request of continuing education. Results The respondents showed defects in PAFPS forms, follow-up ar?rangements and contraceptive method after abortion. The average knowledge score was higher in tertiary medical institution than that of secondary medical institutions. The score was higher in clinical doctors than that of nurses, and the higher the ti?tle, the higher the score. The 95.34%of respondents believed that it was necessary to develop PAFPS widely. But 93.55%of respondents thought that it can be difficult to carry out PAFPS as being required because of unclear service process, shortage of funds, human resource constraints, inadequate facilities and weak sense of services. The 53.36%of respondents, who had sexual life history, occurred unintended pregnancy themselves. The current defects of PAFPS were no standardized service processes, missing of medium-term and long-term follow-up, missing of collective consulting, providing contraceptives not timely and hadn′t pay attention to contraceptive advice. There were 90.68%medical personnels showed demand on relative training. Conclusion It′s necessary to perform continuing education about PAFPS to obstetrics and gynecology personnels via different intervention. At the same time, we should increase investment and make the service processes perfectly, so as to improve the level of PAFPS in obstetrics and gynecology medical staffs.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the effects of repeated subcutaneous insulin administration vs. insulin pump continuous subcutaneous administration on related indexes of advanced age patients with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM). METHODS:Inretrospective study,120 advanced age patients with GDM were randomly divided into group A(60 cases)and group B(60 cases). Group A was given Insulin aspart injection with initial dose of 0.5 U/(kg·d)subcutaneously before meal,adjusted according to fast-ing blood glucose(FPG)and postprandial 2 h blood glucose(2 hPG),and then given Isophane protamine biosynthetic human insu-lin injection with initial dose of 0.5 U/(kg·d)subcutaneously at bedtime,adjusted according to FPG and 2 hPG. Group B was giv-en Insulin aspart injection with initial dose of 0.5 U/(kg·d)added into insulin pump using 40% of total daily insulin as basic pump,increasing to 60% of total daily insulin if blood glucose control was poor,adjusted according to FPG and 2 hPG. Treatment course of 2 groups lasted for 4 weeks. The time of blood glucose reaching target,the amount of insulin were observed in 2 groups, and the levels of FPG,2 hPG,HbA1c,Hcy and Cys-C before and after treatment,the occurrence of patients and neonates compli-cations. RESULTS:The time of blood glucose reaching standard in group B was significantly shorter than group A;the amount of insulin,the incidence of hypoglycemia,premature birth,excessive amniotic fluid and gestational hypertension in group B were sig-nificantly lower than group A,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome in group B was significantly lower than group A,with statistical significance(P<0.05);but there was no statistical significance in the incidence of giant baby and malformation between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of FPG,2 hPG,HbA1c,Hcy and Cys-C in 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the group B was significantly lower than the group A, with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The insulin pump continuous subcutaneous administration is significantly better than repeated subcutaneous insulin administration in respects of controlling glucose level,reducing the amount of insulin,the levels of Cys-C and Hcy,maternal and neonatal complications.
