Objective Anti-RNase virus-like particles containing HCV RNA 5'-UTR were used as positive samples in national external quality assessment ( EQA ) to evaluate the competency of clinical Laboratories for the quantification of HCV RNA and analyze the possible problems of domestic kits. Methods The quality control samples with target values in EQA panels were distributed nationally twice by National Center of Clinical Laboratory (NCCL) to participating laboratories for the quantification of HCV RNA in 2008 and 2009. Each panel consisted of 5 samples. All participants were required to carry out the detection and to return results in expected time. Positive samples were virus-like particles which had been calibrated against the WHO HCV International Standard (NIBSC96/798)and the results of positive samples from participants should be in the range of target value of logarithm ± 0. 5. The 2nd panel in 2008 contained the common HCV genotypes and the 2nd panel in 2009 contained serial diluted samples of genotype 1b. The results of positive samples detected with 3 different lots reagent (21001,21078 and 21097) from the 2nd EQA in 2009 were statistically analyzed using the analysis of variance, then Dunnett'S T3 and Tamhane'S T2 were used if heterogeneity of variance was found. Results There was 390 participating laboratories in 2008 and 428/426 in 2009. The percentages of laboratories within the range of target value of logarithm ± 0. 5 for varied genotypes were different. The percentages of laboratories for 1b were more than 91%, for 2a were 93.7% and 74. 2% ,for6 were 83.3% and 80. 3%. The CVfor the low-level sample was higher than that for the high-level sample in the same year. The numbers of laboratories reporting false-negative samples in 2008and the 2nd in 2009 were 5, 1 and 10 respectively. Statistical differences were found among the results of four quality control serum samples using 3 different reagents( F = 288.23, 324. 79, 291.98 and 261.16,P ＜0. 01 ). Conclusion The competency for detecting low concentration samples and samples with genotype 2a or 6 needs to be improved.

Objective To study the effect of PIM-1 gene silence by RNA interference (RNAi) on the growth of human prostate cancer xenograft tumor in nude mice. Methods The xenograft tumor model of human prostate cancer was established by injecting PC-3 cells in armpits of 12 nude mice. After modeling, the nude mice were randomly divided into three groups: interference plasmid group (injecting with RNAi recombinant plasmid), empty plasmid group and negative control group (liposome every), 4 mice in each group. Mice were injected every 2 days for 5 times. The tumor volumes of xenografts were measured during experiment, and the curve of tumor growth was drawn accordingly. The quality of tumor was measured, and the inhibitory rate of tumor was calculated at the end of the experiments. The expression levels of PIM-1, c-MYC mRNA and protein in xenograft tumors were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot assay, respectively. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry staining was used to verify the expression of PIM-1. Results The xenograft tumor model of human prostate cancer was established successfully. The volume of tumor was significantly decreased 6 days after the injection treatment in interference plasmid group than that of empty plasmid group and negative control group. The effect of suppressing tumor growth was remarkable. The expression levels of PIM-1 mRNA and protein were down-regulated significantly in interference plasmid group than those of other two groups. The immunohistochemical staining of PIM-1 showed the same changes. There was no significant difference in c-MYC protein level between the three groups. But interestingly, the c-MYC mRNA level was significantly decreased in interference plasmid group than that of other two groups. Conclusion The silence of PIM-1 gene by RNAi recombinant plasmid can result a significant growth suppression of the human prostate cancer xenograft tumors in nude mice. The expression of c-MYC gene is down-regulated at translation level in the therapeutic group concomitantly. PIM-1 may be a promising target of gene therapy for prostate cancer.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the performance of antinuclear antibody (ANA) detection in clinical laboratories.Methods There were 2 external quality assessments (EQA) scheme for nuclear antibody detection.The panel consisting of 5 samples was distributed.Each participant laborotory of the EQA program was required to report the ANA qualitative results,patterns,titers and anti-double strain DNA (dsDNA) antibody,anti-extractable nuclear antigen(ENA) antibody,the percent agreements of which were calculated respectively.ResultsThe number of laboratories performing ANA test with IIF increased from 77.6％ ( 149/192 )in 2006 to 82.2％ (342/416) in 2011,while the number of laboratories performing ANA test with ELISA was in the range of 14.5％ ( 53/365 ) and 16.0％ ( 52/326 ).The positive percent agreements of IIF was over 98％.The positive percent agreement of ELISA were all over 90％.IIF showed more satisfying positive percent agreements than ELISA every year.Over 90％ of the laboratories reported correct results for samples with granular ANA pattern except 0613 and 0624.Over 95％ of the laboratories reported correct results for samples with homogeneous ANA pattern.Two samples with centromere pattern were correctly detected by 88.5％ ( 161/182 ),79.0％ ( 147/186 ) of the laboratories in 2007,while the sample with centromere pattern was correctly detected by 98.4％ (299/304), which indicated an improvement in the detection of centromere pattern.In ANA positive results,the lowest percentage of the laboratories reporting the median result was 36％ (94/261),while the highest percentage was only 85.5％(224/262).The satisfied results of anti-ENA antibody were over 90％.And those of anti-dsDNA antibody was over 85％.ConclusionsIIF is the most common method for ANA screening in clinical laboratories.ELISA is also used in some laboratories.The two methods reported satisfying results in ANA test.The detection of anticentromere antibodies is improved.But the results of ANA titer reported are unsatisfactory. ANA detection in routine practice needs to be improved by standardization.

The method of flying through the air is a qi-promoting and qi-circulating technique commonly used in clinical acupuncture. It includes four methods: the blue dragon wagging its tail, the white tiger shaking its head, the green turtle probing the cave and the red phoenix winging to the source and functions to circulate bodily meridian qi. The method of flying through the air was firstrecorded in Golden needle Fu. Later and modern doctors developed it on the basis of Golden needle Fu. This article straightens up the historical origin and development of four methods of flying through the air.

To construct a library of mouse single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody against ofloxacin using phage display and recombinant antibody technique, specific anti-ofloxacin scFv was screened and 3D structure was homology modeling. Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cell of ofloxacin mAb, and was used to amplify VH and VL gene by RT-PCR using random primer. Then they were linked by a DNA linker encoding (G1y4 Ser) 3 as VH-linker-VL sequence forming scFv by SOE(splicing by overlap extension) PCR. These fragments were inserted into phage T7 after double digestion and transformed with host bacteria BLT5403. 3 ×105 pfu / ml single chain antibody phage libraries were successfully constructed. Four positive phage scFv clones were screened by direct competitive ELISA after four times of enriched procedure in the order of adsorption-elution-amplificatio, 3D structure of specific scFv was homology modeling finally. This research lays a foundation for further massive expression of anti-ofloxacin scFv.
