An effective method has been developed for laboratory scale production of IgG. Hybridomas were cultured in serum-free media with 2% IgG-free ascites. Cell density of up to 3.55 × 10 6cells/ml and antibody concentration of 135μ g/ml after purification were abtained, which is four time more than total production of that of IgG concentration in serum-free media. This in vitro method allows great improvement in antibodies production in batch tissue culture. The method reported here is easy to handle and is economical and universally adaptable.

Chronic infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV)presents one of the serious public health challenges worldwide.Current treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB)is limited,and is composed of interferon and nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTI).Interferon is poorly tolerated and is only responsive in a small fraction of CHB patients and NRTIs often face the problem of emergence of drug resistance during long-term treatment.The current treatment of CHB earl be improved in several ways including genotyping mutations associated with drug resistance before treatment to guide the choice of NRTIs and suitable combinations among NRTIs and interferon.It is important to continue research in the identification of novel therapeutic targets in the life cycle of HBV or in the host immune system to stimulate the development of new antiviral agents and immunotherapies.Several antivirai agents targeting HBV entry,cecDNA,capsid formation,viral morphogenesis and virion secretion,as well as two therapeutic vaccines are currently being evaluated in preclinical studies or in clinical trials to assess their anti-HBV efficacy.

In order to prepare the recombinant vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) using intein mediated rapid purification system,the cDNA encoding the recombinant VIP was designed and synthesized according to the preference of E.coli,and then was cloned into the expression vector PTWIN. The recombinant plasmid PTWIN-VIP was transformed into expression host E.coli strain ER2566.The fusion protein consisting of the recombinant VIP,intein and chitin binding domain was expressed and purified by chitin affinity chromatography. The target peptide was released from the fusion protein by changing the temperature and the pH of the cleavage buffer. The molecular weight of the recombinant VIP was determined by the mass spectrometry and the results was conformity with the theoretical value. The preliminary bioactivity assay indicated that the recombinant VIP decreased the serum resistin levels significantly in LPS-induced acute inflammation. The preparation and the characterization of anti-inflammatory effects of the recombinant VIP layed the foundation for its further application.

OBJECTIVETo analyse dental crown fracture occurrence situation in the long-term mastication process, and discuss the correlation factor of crown fracture occurrence.
METHODSFrom December, 2005 to December, 2007, 255 crown fracture teeth were chosen as the object of study. The sex, age, teeth position, fracture position and occlusal state of patients were analyzed.
RESULTSIn 255 teeth, 1) 76 teeth (29.8%) were maxillary first molars, 45 teeth (17.6%) were mandibular first molars, 41 teeth (16.1%) were maxillary second molars, 37 teeth (14.5%) were mandibular second molars, 32 teeth (12.5%) were maxillary second premolars, 15 teeth (5.9%) were maxillary first premolars, 9 teeth (3.5%) were mandibular second premolars. 2) The fracture position of 158 teeth (62.0%) overlapped with pit and fissure. The fracture position of 97 teeth (38.0%) occurred in dental inclined surface. 3) The occlusal state of 85 patients (33.3%) was normal. The occlusal surface shape of 55 patients (21.6%) was unnormal. The occlusal shape of 115 patients (45.1%) was unnormal.
CONCLUSIONThe teeth position and occlusal state has certain relations with occurrence of dental crown fracture. Occlusal force was the basic factor for dental crown fracture, but it was not the only one.

Objective To evaluate the early change of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) by ultrasound speckle tracking imaging. Methods Ninety-five subjects were included:40 T2DM with normal LV ejection fraction (LVEF≥50% ,group A),20 T2DM with abnormal LVEF (LVEF<550 %) (group B), and 35 normal controls. Two-dimensional strain images were acquired from LV short-axis view. LV peak systolic global and segmental radial strain and circumferential strain at the levels of mitral annulus, papillary muscle and apex, and LV systolic global and segmental rotation at the levels of mitral annulus and apex and LV peak systolic global twist were assessed. Results In group A, compared with control group, LV peak systolic radial strain parameters were not significant difference (P >0.05), peak systolic circumferential strain of part segments, average peak strain of each plane and global strain were reduced (P <50.05~0.001) ,and LV peak systolic rotation of all apical segments, peak systolic global rotation at the levels of mitral annulus and apex,and peak systolic global twist were significantly increased (P <0.05~0.001). Compared with control group and group A,all LV systolic radial strain and circumferential strain parameters, LV systolic global and segmental rotation and peak systolic global twist in group B were significantly reduced (P <0.05 ~ 0.001). Conclusions Speckle tracking imaging could be used to evaluate the early change of LV torsional deformation and LV systolic function in T2DM.
