Scatchard, pseudoscatchard and competitive analyses showed that there were two glucocorticoid (GC) binding sites in rat hepatic cytosol: high-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (HAGS) and low-affinity glucocorticoid binding sites (LAGS). Pseudoscatchard analysis showed the dissociation constant (Kd) of LAGS was 4.1+1.4umol/L (n=4). The inactivation of LAGS in vitro was slower" than that of HAGS. LAGS and HAGS could not be separated by DEAE-cellulose chfomatography. HAGS were saturable and had steroid specificity for glucocorticoid just as the classic glucocorticoid receptor. Triamcinolone acetonide, RU486 and RU26988 competed equally well to LAGS while aldosterone, progesterone, estradiol and testosterone did not compete with LAGS. These results suggest that LAGS have steroid specificity for glucocorticoids. The biological actions of LAGS await fur ther study.

Objective To compare on the influence of invigorating spleen and restoring virility to the SS level and SSR1 gene expression in brain. Method The spleen insufficiency model of rat was established by adopting bitter decline diarrhea, wild eating and overworking. SS level and SSR1 gene expression change of hypothalamus ventral kernel, hippocampi CA1 area and forehead corte were detected by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization techniques. Result In the model group, the immunoreaction masculine substance of SS and SSR1 mRNA, hypothalamus ventral kernel, hippocampi CA1 area and forehead cortex decreased obviously. The immunoreaction masculine substance of SS and SSR1 mRNA on above mentioned parts in the group of invigorating spleen and restoring virility increased distinctly. Conclusion In the model group, the SS level and SSR1 gene expression in brain to promoting study memory ability changed. Invigorating spleen and restoring virility may affect study memory ability by regulating the SS level and SSR1 gene expression.

Objective Comparison on the influence of invigorating spleen and restoring virility to the NPY level in brain and gene expression. Method Establishing the spleen insufficiency model of rat by adopting bitter decline diarrhea, wild eating and overworking, to examine the hypothalamus ventral kernel, the hippocampi CA1 area and forehead cortex, the gene expression change of NPY. Result In the model group, the immunoreaction masculine substance of NPY, hypothalamus ventral kernel,hippocampi CA1 area and prefrontal cortex decreases obviously. The immunoreaction masculine substance of NPY on above mentioned parts in the group of invigorating spleen and restoring virility increases distinctly. In the model group, the expression of NPY mRNA on prefronta cortex and hypothalamus ventral kernel decreases obviously, while on the groups of invigorating spleen and restoring virility increases obviously. Conclusion In the model group, the NPY level and gene expression in brain to promote study memory changed. Invigorating spleen and restoring virility may affect study memory by regulating the NPY level and gene expression.

Quantum dot is a new kind of nano-fluorescent material. It has unique optical properties and can be used for clinical research including cancer research, determination of metal content, microbe detection and developing of drug target. It will have the potential value in the study of disease mechanism, clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the methylation status of hMLH1 and hMSH2 promoter region in the epithelial ovarian cancer and its role in oncogenesis.Methods Methylation status of hMLH1 and hMSH2 promoter region was assayed in 20 normal ovarian tissues,25 benign epithelial tumor,56 malignant epithelial tumor and cell lines SKOV3,3AO by methylation-specific PCR (MSP).SKOV3 and 3AO were analyzed before and after 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) treatment.In addition,an alterations of mRNA expression of hMLH1 and hMSH2 was observed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PT-PCR).Results No methylation of hMLH1 and hMSH2 promoter was found in normal ovarian tissues. CPG islands methylation of hMLH1 and hMSH2 was observed in 4% (1/25),8% (2/25) respectively in benign epithelial tumor,30.4% (17/56),51.8% (29/56) respectively in malignant epithelial tumor. Methylation status in promoter showed obvious correlation with pathological grade and lymph node metastasis (P

Objective To explore the clinical application and the relative factors that effect on the diagnostic accuracy in CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy(PPB) of pulmonary masses.Methods PPB in 72 cases with pulmonary masses were performed.The results ofsurgery,pathology, image,and the relative factors that effect on the diagnostic accuracy of PPB were analyzed.Results The punctureaccuracy was 100%,the diagnostic accuracy was 89.6%(61/72),the rate of complication was 11.1%(8/72) in CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy of pulmonary masses.The determining factors that effect on the diagnostic accuracy and the rate of complication were age of patients,present of emphysema,size and internal content of pulmonary masses in CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy.Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous puncture biopsy was a safe,accurate and simple mean of diagnosis and differential diagnosis for pulmonary masses.To improve the accuracy and reduce complication ,the related factors of patients ,lesion,and the technique should be attended.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the gem of Chinese culture,while TCM culture the root and driving force for its development.Higher learning institutes,one of whose main missions is innovating and inheriting culture,are playing the unique roles in promoting world-wide recognition of TCM culture through international cooperation due to the abundant resources in TCM academy,talent,clinical study and international education.Taking Jiangxi University of Traditional Chinese Medicine as an example,this paper has made constructive exploration and study on how to promote the international communication of TCM culture to allow the international community for better understanding and the application of TCM based on the analysis of current situation and experience summarization with literature investigation and case study.Effective measures that have been put forward include establishing TCM experiencing center,promoting the construction of Confucius Institute,proactively building TCM library,improving the standardization of TCM translation,optimizing approaches of TCM international communication,and speeding up the cultivation of TCM international communication talents.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the composition and diversity of midgut microbial community of Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV)． Methods　The midgut DNA of three group Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with SFTSV was extracted, and the 16S rDNA gene of the sample was sequenced by HiSeq platform. The composition and diversity of endosymbiotic microbial community were clarified by OTU cluster analysis and alpha diversity analysis. Results　The midgut microbial clusters of the three groups infected with SFTSV were 143, 113, 163 OTUs respectively; the sparsity curve and abundance grade curve showed that the data had sufficient sequencing depth, and the midgut of Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with SFTSV was rich in microbial composition, but the species distribution was uneven. The analysis of microbial community composition showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were the main dominant bacteria at the phyla level. At the class level, Gammaproteobacteria, Bacilli, Betaproteobacteria and Actinomycetia were the main dominant bacteria. At the order level, Legionellales, Bacillales, Burkholderiales and Actinomycetales were the main dominant orders. At the family level, Coxiellaceae, Bacillaceae, Moraxellaceae and Rhodococcaceae were the main dominant families. At the genus level, the relative abundance of Coxiella was the highest, followed by Aeribaillus and Azonexus. Alpha diversity analysis showed that the average Shannon index was 139.67, the average Simpson index was 0.48, the average Chao index was 145.06, and the average ACE index was 147.11. Conclusions　The species diversity of intestinal microorganisms in Haemaphysalis longicornis infected with SFTSV is rich. The results provide a basis for further exploring the interaction between intestinal microbes of Haemaphysalis longicornis and SFTSV and developing new ideas for the prevention and control of ticks and tick-borne diseases.
