The full length cDNA of ?1,3 galactosyltransferase gene was amplified by RT PCR from the peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice, which was subcloned into an eukaryotic expression vector pCDNA3 1/V5 HisA, and it was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The gastric cancer cell GC9811 was transfected with pCDNA3 1/V5 HisA?1,3GT by Lipofectamine TM 2000. The positive clone was screened by G418 for two months and confirmed by RT PCR. The gastric cells expressing Gal?(1,3)Gal epitope were detected by immuohistochemisty, and they were killed by naive antidoby specific to Gal?(1,3)Gal epitope. The results showed that the pCDNA3.1/V5 HisA?1,3GT was successfully constructed, and the transfected gastric cancer cells could highly express Gal?(1,3)Gal, which promoted lysis of the cancer cells by normal human serum.

Objective:To explore the clinic and pathologic characteristics of primary breast lymphoma(PBL) for its diagnosis and treatment.Methods: Five cases of PBL that has been diagnosed during 1998-2005 were analyzed.Results: One patient died 1 month after her final diagnosis.Tow patients have survived 4 and 3 years,respectively,after radical operation plus chemotherapy,although inguinal lymphatic metastasis was found in the later one 2 years after her operation.Another two patients have been accepting chemotherapy for 3 months after their local resection.Conclusion: PBL is diagnosed basically by methods of pathology and immunohistochemistry,and treated mainly by chemotherapy combining with other therapies.

?AIM:To investigate the correlation between dry eye and different degrees of diabetic retinopathy ( DR ) in type 2 diabetic patients.?METHODS: In the cross-sectional study, 340 patients (340 eyes) with type 2 diabetes were enrolled. Tear film function tests including tear meniscus height, tear film breakup time ( BUT ) , fluorescein staining, Schirmer Ⅰtest were performed followed by surveying questionnaires about dry eye. Retinal status was evaluated by retinal color photography and indirect ophthalmoscopy exam with dilated pupils to evaluate DR and whether companied by macular edema.?RESULTS:The prevalence of dry eye was 49. 41%. The mean duration of diabetes in patients with dry eye was 11.15±7.07a, while 6.92±5.45a without dry eye(P<0.01). Dry eye had the positive correlation to the development of DR. The incidence of dry eye in people with mild nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy ( NPDR ) , moderate NPDR, severe NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) was 1. 097 times, 1. 724 times, 2. 86 times and 5. 43 times respectively, compared with people without DR. The occurrence of dry eye in people with macular edema increased by 3. 697 times compared with people without macular edema.?CONCLUSION: Dry eye was more prevalent in people with type 2 diabetes. The incidence of dry eye increased gradually with the occurrence and development of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To analyze the levels and speciation of arsenic metabolites in urine of rats treated with sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate in order to investigate the different aspects of metabolism between sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate,thus to understand further the basic data about relationship between it's metabolism and mechanism of toxicity. Methods Seventy Wistar rats,weighting 80-120 g,were divided into 7 groups of 10 each,such as normal control group,high,middle and low sodium arsenite group and high,middle and low sodium arsenate group. After the animals were fed for one month,the urine was collected by metabolic cage in 12 hours. Applying the high efficiency liquid chromatography and hydride genesis atomic fluorescence spectroscopy (HPLC-HGAFS),the levels and speciation of arsenic metabolites were determined in urine of rats. Meanwhile,the recovery rate of dimethyl arsinic acid(DMA) would be determined to estimate the degree of accuracy of results. Results The levels of iAs~(3+),iAs~(5+) and DMA in middle sodium arsenite group[(121.66±1.26),(10.26±2.68),(200.91±0.56) μg/L]were higher than the high sodium arsenite group[(113.20±0.75),(5.16±1.32),(147.70±μ0.77)μg/L,all P < 0.05]and low sodium arsenite group[(79.35±2.12),(5.13±2.25),(56.35±1.23)μg/L,all P < 0.05]. The levels of iAs~(3+) and DMA in middle sodium arsenate group[(315.81±1.69),(245.12±1.18)μg/L]were higher than the high sodium arsenate group[(85.03±0.56),(110.34±1.04)μg/L,all P< 0.05]and low sodium arsenate group[(22.97±2.67),(15.75±2.15)μg/L,all P < 0.05]. Compared with sodium arsenate group,the levels of iAs~(3+) and DMA in high and low sodium arsenite group were higher(all P < 0.05) ; and the levels of iAs~(3+) and DMA in middle sodium arsenite group were lower(all P < 0.05). Meanwhile,the average urinary recovery rate of DMA of rats in different sodium arsenite group were 94.80%-102.70%,and the average urinary recovery rate of DMA of rats in different sodium arsenate group were 95.33%-108.40%. Conclusion The speciation and levels of arsenic are influenced by the external exposure dose,and some distinction appeared in the metabolism and metabolic path between sodium arsenite and sodium arsenate in urine in vivo.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the level of H2-Ab1 in the nasal mucosa of mice with allergic rhinitis. METHOD: Twenty-four female 129/sv mice were divided into 2 groups: ovalbumin (OVA) group and control. The allergic rhinitis models were induced by classical method with OVA. After the last challenge, the pathological differences between the two groups were surveyed. The levels of H2-AB1 were measured by ELISA and quantitative real time PCR. RESULT: The expression of H2-Ab1 is higher in subjects with AR than that in controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The levels of H2-Ab1 were highly increased in allergic rhinitis group, which might be associated with the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis.

Objective To explore the effects of the pre-pregnant body mass index(BMI) and the pregnancy growth on the mater-nal and neonatal outcomes .Methods 250 pregnant women with the built file ,regular antenatal inspection and hospital delivery in our hospital during 2011 were selected and divided into the emaciation group ,the appropriate group and the obesity group according to the pre-pregnant BMI .The occurrence rates of cesarean section ,fetal macrosomia ,low birth weight ,postpartum hemorrhage ,ges-tational diabetes ,gestational hypertension disease ,fetal distress ,neonatal asphyxia and puerperal infection were compared among the various groups .In addition ,according to the different growth amplitudes of pregnancy BMI ,the pregnant women were re-divided in-to 3 groups(weight gain insufficient group ,weight gain appropriate group and weight gain overmuch group ) and the different ma-ternal and neonatal outcomes were compared .Results The occurrence rates of cesarean section ,macrosomia ,gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension disease in the obesity group were significantly higher than those in the emaciation group and the appro-priate group(P<0 .05) ,while the occurrence rate of the low birth weight in the emaciation group was significantly higher than that of the appropriate group and the obesity group(P<0 .05);the occurrence rates of cesarean section ,macrosomia ,gestational diabetes and gestational hypertension disease in the weight gain overmuch group were significantly higher than those in the weight gain in-sufficient group and the weight gain appropriate group(P<0 .05) ,while the occurrence rate of low birth weight in the weight gain insufficient group was significantly higher than that of the weight gain appropriate group and the weight gain overmuch group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The maternal and neonatal outcomes in the pregnant women with pre-pregnant BMI exceeding the standard and pregnant BMI overmuch growth are very worrying .The growth of pre-pregnant BMI and pregnant BMI is one of the important indi-cators for monitoring the maternal and neonatal complications .
