Objective To study the fecel-oral and blood transfusion of TT virus. Methods Paired feces and serum samples from 6 patients with type B and/or C hepatitis were tested for TTV DNA and its titers by PCR with seminested primers.Genotypes were determined after their sequences were compared with the original N22 and TA278 clone.Results TTV DNA was detected in sera from all patients,while it was detected in feces from 3 patients,including 2 with high viral titers in serum.The detection of fecal TTV DNA was dependent on the viral titers in serum.TTV isolates in 3 pairs of feces and serum had identical sequence of 222 base pairs.Their genotypes were 1a,1b and 2,respectively.Conclusion The excretion of TTV into feces indicates that TTV would be transmitted not only parenterally but also nonparenterally by a fecal-oral route.

To establish an HPLC mehod for the analysis of pharmacokinetics of salvianolic acid B in rats. METHODS: The biological samples were extracted with acetic ether. The chromatographic conditions were as follows: Hypersil ODS column (200 mm×4.6 mm, 5μm) was used. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water(with Ammoniom Acetate 0.25 mol/L) was set at 328 nm. RESULTS: Salvianolic acid B was injected intravenously at doses of 1.6, 3.2, 6.4 mg/kg. The terminal elimination half-life(t1/2) of α phase and β phase was (3.1±0.1) min and (31.5±3.2) min. The extents of excrement,urine and biliary excretion of salvianolic acid B were 1.43%±0.90%, 0.77%±1.01% and 8.82%±4.11%. The tissue concentration of salvianolic acid B was as followed in order: Cheart>Cliver>Clung>Cintestine>Ckidney>Cspleen>Cstomach. The plasma protein binding rate of salvianolic acid B in human plasma and in rat was similar(89.2%±1.8%,92.5%±1.5%). CONCLUSION: The method is accurate, stable and reliable, and can be used for the investigation of salvianolic acid B in pharmacokinetics research. Salvianolic acid B eliminates fast and it shows a high plasma protein binding rate, the mainly excretion way of salvianolic acid B is from biliary.

Objective To study the incidence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and its impact on the clinical manifestations of patients with Parkinson' s disease (PD). Methods One hundred and twenty-four PD patients were included into this study and each of them was given the non motor symptoms questionnaire (NMSquest) to investigate the incidence of RBD. The PD patients were then divided into the RBD group and non RBD group, according to their answers to the NMSquest. Then the clinical differences were investigated between PD patients with and without RBD on the aspects of demographic characters, Hoehn-Yahr (H-Y) stage, the scores of Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) sub-items, the incidence of non motor symptoms, and the dysfunctions of non motor systems (cognitive impairment, anxiety, depression and sleep disorders ). The evaluation tools of non motor functions include Mini Mental State Exam ( MMSE), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), Parkins' s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Results ( 1 ) 62.9% (78/124) of the PD patients have been experiencing RBD. (2) The course of the disease in RBD group ( 3.8 ± 2.8 ) was significantly shorter than non RBD group (5.0 ± 2.5, t = - 1. 972, P = 0. 048 ) while the sex, age, onset age and the mode of onset, Levodopa dose equivalents (LDE) and the kinds of medicines showed no difference between the two groups. (3) H-Y stage, the scores of UPDRS sub-items and the incidence of motor complications showed no difference between RBD and non RBD group. (4) Most of the non motor symptoms, including the gastrointestinal dysfunctions, autonomic dysfunctions, mood disorders and sleep disturbances, occurred much frequently in RBD group, however, the scores of MMSE, HAMD, HAMA,PDSS and ESS showed no difference between the RBD and non RBD group. Conclusion RBD commonly occurred in PD patients, and PD patients with RBD have a tendency to suffer from dysfunction of non motor systems.

Background and purpose:Researches had indicated that about over 85%of malignant tumors highly express telomerase activity. So telomerase has become one of the important methods in the research field of tumor diagnosis and treatment. Nowadays, several reports about malignant tumor which over expresses hTERT targeting imaging with radionuclide labeled hTERT ASON had been published. In these reports, high quality of pictures can hardly be acquired because of poor anatomical and spacial resolution in nuclear imaging itself. Accordingly, in this study, we developed a method of detecting human telomerase in vivo with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and evaluate its feasibility. Methods:Firstly, Uniformly phosphorothioate-modified human telomerase reverse transcriptase antisense oligonucleotide (hTERT ASON) was labeled with Gd3+ through the bifunctional chelator 1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecane-N, N’, N’’, N’’’-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) and iv vitro experiments were performed to characterize the antisense probes (for biodistribution and cellular uptake, 99mTc-DOTA-ASON was used in stead of Gd-DOTA-ASON). Then Gd-DOTA-ASON was injected intraperitoneally in pulmonary adenocarcinoma A375 nude mice tumor-bearing BALB/c for in vivo imaging using 7.0 T Micro MRI periodically, tumors and their surrounding tissues were defined as region of interest (ROI) to calculate the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of tumor to muscle using Gd-DTPA as control. Finally, immunohistochemical analysis of telomerase activity of each xenograft was operated 2 days after imaging. Results:The binding efficiency of Gd-DOTA-ASON reached was as high as 65%(63.2±2.4, n=6). And it can maintain 61%in fresh human serum and normal saline at 37℃over 24 h;A375 cells showed an uptake of 8.5%when incubated with 99mTc-DOTA-ASON;In comparing with DOTA-ASON and Gd-DTPA, cells transected with Gd-DOTA-ASON had higher SI when performed MRI with T1WI. The hTERT-expressing xenografts were obviously enhanced by Gd-DOTA-ASON at 0.5-6 h after injection and the SNR can reach 2.37, whereas obvious enhancement only could be found within 2 h after injection of Gd-DTPA. Both labeled and non-labeled antisense probes can suppress the activity of telomerase of A375 cells either in vitro or in vitro. Conclusion:Our research offers proof that Gd-DOTA-ASON can be used as tumor specific targeting MR probe for diagnosing malignant tumors with high expression of telomerase.

This study aimed at evaluating the quality of the precise powder decoction pieces (PPDP) of L.japonicae Flos (LJF) compared with the traditional commercial slices with chemical fingerprint methods and DNA molecular identification technology.Different specifications of PPDP were prepared,their dry extract contents were in contrast with that of commercial slices.The three batches of commercial slices were collected,and the content uniformity,fingerprint and similarity evaluation before and after the mixing and pulverization were studied by HPLC-DAD and DNA sequence alignment.As a result,the paste rate of PPDP was slightly higher than that of the traditional commercial slices.The dissolution of chlorogenic acid of PPDP was higher than that of the traditional commercial slices.RSD of inter-assay dissolutions of chlorogenic acid of commercial slices was 11.93％,which was reduced to 8.29％ after mixing and preparing into PPDP.The fingerprint showed that the slimilarity of the fringerprint of the mixed and powdered LJF was elevated with 7 common peaks.All the common peaks were increased at different levels.In conclusion,compared with traditional commercial slices of LJF,PPDP apparently improved the dissolution rate and the quality uniformity,indicating that the boiled powder of CRP obviously presented vantages in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the current status of satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, as well as the association between satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university.Methods:The 2017 National Medical Student Satisfaction Survey Database was used. A total of 1 944 professional postgraduate students in the second or third year, as well as those with delayed graduation, from 59 postgraduate training colleges and universities who participated in clinical internship were selected. SPSS 20.0 software was used for analysis; descriptive analysis was used to describe satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university; factor analysis was adopted to calculate comprehensive satisfaction score to reduce the number of variables; logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the association of general information and satisfaction with training program with loyalty to the university.Results:The professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine had a degree of 60.44% of loyalty to the university. Satisfaction with training program reflected low satisfaction at each link of the training program. For every 1-point increase in the comprehensive satisfaction scores of the four links of courses, research training, college support, and practice, the loyalty to the university was increased to 2.11, 1.83, 1.77, and 1.75 times as the original, respectively, of the baseline scores.Conclusion:There is still room for further improvement in the satisfaction with training program and the loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, and the satisfaction with training program is closely associated with the loyalty to the university. Colleges and universities need to take measures for courses, practice, research training, and college support, so as to improve satisfaction and thus enhance loyalty to the university.

Objective To investigate COL1A1 gene mutation by PCR-high resolution melting (PCR-HRM) and an-alyze the correlation between genotype and clinical phenotype in a child (proband) with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). Methods The family history of OI pedigree along with the clinical data was collected. Blood samples from the proband and his family members, as well as 50 normal controls, were collected. The mutation of COL1A1 gene was screened using PCR-HRM and validated by the gene sequence. Results The detection of PCR-HRM showed the abnormal result of COL1A1 17 exon in proband with a lower melting temperature (Tm) value than that of normal controls by 0.4℃. There were signifi-cant differences in the standardization melting curve and the different melting curve between the proband and the normal controls. The sequencing result was c.1138G>A, which meant that cDNA of 1138 base G mutation into A. The mutations transformed the amino acid glycine into a serine at amino acid 380(P. Gly 380 Ser), which resulted in missense mutations. The proband’s father and grandmother had the same mutation of COL1A1 gene. The mutation was not found in the proband’s mother and normal controls. There was no report for such mutation in Chinese population. Pedigree analysis showed the fami-ly genetic characteristics of autosomal dominant inheritance. The proband was clinically diagnosed as OI type Ⅳwith more severe clinical phenotype. Conclusion PCR-HRM analysis is a new effective method for genetic screening of OI. COL1A1 mutation of c.1138G>A is a newly discovered mutation in Chinese population. Gly replaced inαhelical domain may lead to a more severe clinical phenotype.
