Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(10):1263-1267+1274
Objective To develop and verify a detection method for recombinant E.coli plasmid DNA(pDNA) copy number in the host based on qPCR technology platform, so as to provide a reliable detection method for the development of mRNA vaccine. Methods According to the Top10 genomic DNA sequences of E.coli, the primers and probes were designed for qPCR amplification, and the primer concentration was optimized. The whole DNA(host DNA + pDNA) of recombinant E.coli/pUC57-HA was extracted and used as the template to develop a qPCR method for the detection of pDNA copy number. The linear range, specificity and reproducibility of the method were verified. The recombinant E.coli/pUC57-HA was cultured at37 ℃ for 24 h, and the samples were taken every 2 h and detected for the pDNA copy number by the developed method.Results The optimum primer concentration(F/R) was 0. 5 μmo/L. The whole DNA of recombinant E.coli/pUC57-HA showed a good linear relationship with Ct values in the dilution range of 10~1-10~5times, each R~2= 1. 00. The amplification results of E.coli/pUC57-HA and E.coli Top10 were positive, and the negative control(ddH_2O) showed no amplification curve. The CV of three repeated detections for pDNA copy number of recombinant E.coli/pUC57-HA was less than 5%. The pDNA copy number of E.coli/pUC57-HA was stable during the incubation period of 0-6 h, decreased during 6-12 h, increased during 12-16 h,and stabilized again during 16-24 h. Conclusion The developed qPCR method has good specificity and reproducibility, which can be used to detect the copy number of pDNA in recombinant E.coli host, and effectively monitor the change of pDNA content during culture.
2.Atrial remodeling and atrial fibrillation:recent advances and translational perspectives
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2016;35(5):560-564
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common clinical arrhythmia.Atrial electrical remodeling and structural remodeling are the important mechanisms for AF.The intracellular Ca2+ handling abnormalities play an important role in the induction of triggered ectopic activity and in the activation of Ca2+-related cell signaling which mediates fibrillatory remodeling.In addition,the importance of microRNAs,which are a new class of small noncoding sequences that regulate gene expression,has been found in both electrical and structural remodeling.The new discovery of AF mechanisms are helpful to exploring the effective treatment for AF,showing good prospects for the use of translational perspectives.
3.Advances in Rehabilitation Therapy for Dysphagia after Stroke (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2016;22(2):160-163
The rehabilitation therapeutic method of dysphagia after stroke included movement therapy and compensatory technology (including neurodevelopmental therapy), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, surface electromygraphy biofeedback training, non-invasive brain stimulation, balloon ductal dilatation technique, acupuncture and moxibustion, drug, and surgical treatment. The movement therapy and compensatory technology were the basis of therapy and the upward and forward movements of tongue-throat complex were the core of therapy. The combined treatments of early, initiative, individual, and various methods were emphasized, while the nutrition and the preven-tion and cure of aspiration pneumonia of patients should be paid attention to.

Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2011;8(2):91-95
Objectives: To observe the radiological and pathological changes of flow diverting sent implanting into abdominal aortae of rabbits at 3 months and to evaluate the safety of stents for normal arteries of rabbits. Methods: The abdominal aorta beyond the left renal artery opening was showed via preoperative angiography. The flow diverting stents with metal coverage of 35% to 45% were implanted into the abdominal aortae of 20 New Zealand white rabbits. Intravenous digital subtraction angiography was performed at 4 weeks after the procedure. Arterial digital subtraction angiography was performed for all the animals at 3 months and they were sacrificed for histopathological examination. The angiography showed that the diameter changes of abdominal aortae on the stenting sites at different time points were measured and compared. The relationship between the neointima and the metal coverage of local stent were analyzed. Results: The mean diameter of the abdominal aortae before stenting, immediately after stenting, at 4 weeks, and at 3 months were 3.47 ± 0.44 mm, 3.65 ± 0.40 mm, 3.57 ± 0.36 mm, and 3.51 ± 0.30 mm, respectively. There were significant differences among the different time points (P=0.009). The neointima fully covered the stents with a mean thickness of 95 ± 42 μm. They were predominantly composed of smooth muscle cells, collagen fibers, and a small amount of macrophages. The neointimal thickness was positively correlated with the local coverage of the metal stents (r = 0.523; P = 0.001). Conclusion Three months after the implantation of flow diverting stents, the abdominal aorta intima thickened slightly, and the stents were safety for normal arteries of rabbits.

Objective: To study La accumulation and microstructure change of leg bones of rats fed with La(NO 3) 3 in low dosage for a long term. Methods: After the rats were fed by La(NO 3) 3 in dosage of 2 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 for 6 months, the contents of La and Ca,P in the leg bones were determined by ICP MS and spectrophotometry; the microstructure changes of the leg bones were investigated by electron microscopy and X ray powder diffraction. Results: In the leg bones of tested rats, the contents of La and P increased greatly, and those of Ca did not change obviously, so that Ca/P ratio values decreased in comparison with the control group. Conclusion: La was accumulatied in the rat leg bones and the change of bone microstructure induced after the rats were fed with La(NO 3) 3 in low dosage for a long term.

Objectives To investigate the clinical significance of degree Ⅲ meconium-stained amniotic fluid in term pregnancy.Methods Data of 857 full-term gravidas underwent cesarean section for suspected fetal distress in Peking University First Hospital from October 1,2012 to September 30,2014 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were divided into three groups according to the diagnosis of suspected fetal distress:meconium-stained amniotic fluid group (Group 1,n=172),fetal heart abnormality group (Group 2,n=623) and meconium-stained amniotic fluid in combination with fetal heart abnormality group (Group 3,n=62).General information and fetal prognosis of the three groups were analyzed.Factors that might affect the prognosis of newborns were analyzed between the infants with or without acidosis,asphyxia or aspiration pneumonia.Analysis of variance,independent-samples t test,Chi-square test and rank-sum test were used as statistical methods.Results There were no significant differences in maternal age,gestational age at delivery,parity,nuchal cord loop(s),pH value of umbilical arterial blood and gender of newborns among the three groups (all P>0.05).The neonatal Apgar score,neonatal asphyxia rate and rate of admitting into pediatric ward within 24 hours after birth in Group 1 were similar to those of Group 2 and 3 [1 min Apgar score:9.9±0.7 vs 9.8±0.7 and 9.8±0.7,F=0.322;5 min Apgar score:10.0±0.3 vs 10.0±0.2 and 10.0±0.0,F=0.517;neonatal asphyxia rate:1.7% (3/172) vs 2.1% (13/623) and 1.6% (1/62),x2=0.129;rate of admitting into pediatric ward:16.3% (28/172) vs 14.3% (89/623) and 11.3% (7/62),x2-0.978] (all P>0.05).The incidence of neonatal aspiration pneumonia in Group 1 was higher than that of Group 2 and 3 [4.7% (8/172) vs 3.2% (2/62) and 1.0% (6/623)],but the differences had no statistical significance (F=10.680,P=0.050).Conclusions Both degree Ⅲ meconium-stained amniotic fluid and abnormal fetal heart rate have the same indicating significance and should be treated actively to lower the risk of poor prognosis of the newborns.
