Objective To investigate the clinical effect of atorvastatin combined with lopidogrel in patients with transient ischemic attack.Methods Totally 92 cases of patients with transient ischemic attack in Xingyuan Hospital of Yulin City from January 2013 to August 2015 were divided into observation group and control group,46 cases in each group.Patients in observation group were treated with atorvastatin combined with lopidogrel,and patients in control group were treated with lopidogrel.The differences in short term effect,long-term effect,and adverse reaction between two groups were compared.Results The total effective rate of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group (P ＜ 0.05);After treatment,the levels of hs-CPR,Lp-PLA2TC,TG,and LDL,the recurrence rate of transient ischemic attack and the incidence of cerebral infarction of the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group and before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),but the differences in PLT,PT,and APTT between two groups before and after treatment were not significant.Conclusion The clinical effect of atorvastatin combined with lopidogrel in patients with transient ischemic attack were remarkable,and the incidence of adverse events do not increase.

Through the improvement on determination of rhTNF-? bioassay, we established the formal procedure . Methods; We choose L929 cell for rhTNF-? bioassay determination. To identify the influence of rhTNF-? on the growth of HL-60 cells, various concentration and effecting time were studied. Results: The results showed that the inhibition of rhTNF-? on HL-60 cells based on dose and time. Northern Dot Blot and DNA electrophoresis showed c-myc gene was surpressed, and DNA was damaged by rhTNF-?. Conclusion: Autometic calculation is responsible for bioassay of rhTNF-?. rhTNF-? could inhibit the proliferation of HL-60 cells and its mechanism is different from doxirubicin.

Objective: To establish National Standard of rhTNF-? complying with the requirements of research and quality control. Methods: National Standard of rhTNF-? were assayed against international standard (NIBSC) of rhTNF-? by cytotoxicity bioassay (L929 ) in vitro. The collaborative study has been carried out among four laboratories. Results: Based on the statistical analysis the results show that mean pf 95 % confidence interval is 3 289 ~ 4 266 IU per ampoule; the 95 % reference range is 1 735 ~ 8 087 IU per ampoule. Based on this study, the potency of rhTNF-? standard is defined as 3500 IU per ampoule. Stability tests indicate that the bioactivity has not been changed significandy under the storage of four different temperautres for 27 monthes. Conclusion: The preparation of rhTNF-? met the requirement of quality and could be used as a National Standard.

Objective To study the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on migration of GFP-labeled living cells into the liver through blood route in rat model.Methods SD rats was inoculated intraportally with high-dose(5?106) GFP-labeled liver cells from C57BL/6 mice after cutting belly open.Pneumoperitoneum was established immediately after closing the abdominal wall.The rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=10 in each) to receive CO2 pneumoperitoneum at 5,10,or 15 mmHg,or no treatment other than cells inoculation(control).The pneumoperitoneum was maintained for 30 min.Afterwards,the rats were euthanized by cervical dislocation,and the liver of the rats was removed for fast frozen section biopsy.The expression of GFP-labeled living cells in rat livers was compared between the groups.Results No significant difference was detected in the positive expression of GFP-labeled cells between the groups(8 rats in the control group,9 in the 5 mm Hg group,9 in the 10 mm Hg group,and 10 in the 15 mm Hg group,?2=2.222,P=0.528).The mean number of GFP-positive cells in the four groups was 6.63?2.45(control),7.67?2.83(5 mm Hg),13.89?4.37(10 mm Hg),and 15.50?6.29(15 mm Hg).There was significant differences between the four groups(F=10.78,P=0.000).In addition,the numbers of GFP-positive cells in the high pressure groups(15 mm Hg and 10 mm Hg) were significantly higher than that in the low pressure group(5 mm Hg) and the control(P

Restriction endonucleases are important molecular biology tools for DNA recombination.Because of the cleavage of DNA,their recombinant expression is difficult with low yields and complicated purification processes.In commercial productions,the technology that uses specific methylases to protect host DNA from digestion of the expressed restriction enzymes was cumbersome and practically limited.For solving this problem the expression of restriction enzyme Not Ⅰ was performed by using the DNA methylase M.Sss Ⅰ derived from Spiroplasma sp.MQ1 which specifically kept CpG sequence methylated.The methylated DNA was protected from the cutting of Not Ⅰ whose recognition sequence contained CpG.The gene of methylase M.Sss Ⅰ was introduced into Escherichia coli ER2566 and constitutively expressed,resulting in the CpG methylation pattern of the host DNA.Restriction enzyme Not Ⅰ was successfully expressed in this E.coli strain.Furthermore,by adding a purification tag to one terminus of the enzyme,recombinant Not Ⅰ was prepared as a highly purified and active product through two simple Ni-affinity and anion exchange chromatography steps.This expression system can be applied for the preparation of a series of restriction enzymes with CpG in their recognition sequences.

Objective To investigate the effect of pancreatic stellate cells on invasion and metastasis of human pancreatic cancer cell AsPC-1,and to determine the role of SDF-1 in this process.Methods PSCs were routinely isolated and cultured,and PSCs conditioned media(PSC-CM) was collected and concentrated.Different concentrations of PSC-CM,anti SDF-1 and their combination were used to treat AsPC-1 cells,and MTT assay was applied to detect the proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells.Transwell chamber migration assay was employed to detect the migration of AsPC-1 cells.In vitro invasion assay was used to determine the invasion of AsPC-1 cells.Results A490 values of AsPC-1 cell in control group and 0.25,0.5,1 μg/lμl PSCCM group were 0.437 ±0.041,0.472 ±0.048,0.553 ±0.057,0.690 ±0.051,and PSC-CM promoted cell proliferation in a dose dependant manner.The difference between 0.5,1 μg/μl PSC-CM group and control group,and between 1 μg/l and 0.5 μg/μl PSC-CM group was statistically significant (P＜0.05).A490 values of control group,anti SDF-1 group,PSC-CM group and PSC-CM ± anti SDF-1 group were 0.407 ±0.028,0.416 ±0.030,0.629 ±0.048,0.481 ±0.049.The numbers of penetrating cells were 35.3 ±7.1,34.8±5.6,140.9 ± 12.7,56.5±5.9,and the numbers of invasive cells were 27.1 ±2.9,29.1 ±4.2,81.5 ±8.2,46.4 ± 4.4.The difference between anti SDF-1 group and control group was not statistically significant.The proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells in PSC-CM group was significantly higher than those of control group (P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01).The proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells in PSC-CM ± anti SDF-1 group was significantly lower than those of PSC-CM group,but they were significantly higher than those of control group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions PSCs can promote proliferation,migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells AsPC-1,and the mechanism may be partly due to SDF-1/CXCR4 receptor ligand axis.
