Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2007;0(10):-
Objective:To construct tetracycline regulating expression system of HBV-S gene,and study its regulating expression of HBVAg by tetracycline in HepG 2 cells. Methods:Insert HBs gene into the multiple cloning site of pcDNA4,which contain tetracycline operator in the promoter,and the constructed vector with pcDNA6 was co-transferred into HepG2 by means of lipofectamine,and use 400?g/ml Zeocin and 10?g/ml Blasticidin to kill the untransfected host cell line. After 20 days’select,the cell line which express HBsAg stablely after induced by tetracycline was generated. Then the HBsAg expressing was induced by varying concentration of tetracycline(0.5?g/ml,1.0?g/ml,2.0?g/ml,3.0?g/ml).Amount of HBsAg was detected by means of MEIA (Microparticle Enzyme Immunoassay) to determine the appropriate concentration of tetracycline. Result:HBsAg had been expressed at low quantity without tetracycline in transfected HepG2. However the S/N of HBsAg were high but not different after induced by varying concentration of tetracycline. Conclusion:Tetracycline regulating expression system of HBV-S gene was constructed successfully and HBsAg was highly expressed in the vector induced by tetracycline.

Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion 1988;0(03):-
A hybridoma cell strain 6H_3(a kind of IgG_1)which could secrete the monoclonal antibody to human H blood group substance was yielded through PEG—fusion of the SP2/0 cells and BALB/C mouse spleen cells immunized by H blood group substance. The agglutination titers of cell culture supernatant and the ascites fluid were 512 and 16384,respectively. Based on hemagglutination specificity test,absorption and eluate test,and hemagglutination inhibition assay,it was showed to be specific only for the human H blood group substance. The ability of hybridoma cells to secrete the monoclonal antibody wasn't be changed when it has been stored in the liquid nitrogen for a year. The agglutination activity of monoclonal antibody has remained stable when it has been kept at 56℃ for 30 min,and repeatedly subjected to freezing and thawing tests at —20℃ and 37℃,respectively. It can be expected to replace the traditional anti-H reagents and to be used for clinical blood typing.

Chinese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2011;27(3):148-151
Objective To investigate the mechanism of anireflux procedures in treating sliding hiatal hernia and the effectiveness of the method of cardia position by clock to evaluate the outcome of antireflux procedures. Methods From 1992 to 2008, 136 patients with sliding hiatal hernia underwent transabdominal antireflux surgery: 27 patients received Nissen procedure and 109 recieved floppy Nissen operation. Results There is no postoperative death. Within one month after operation, in the Nissen group, 2 patients developed severe dysphagia and 1 had regurgitation; in the floppy Nissen group, 9 patients had regurgitation, and 3 had dysphagia. During the over-2-year follow-up period, 2 patients developed severe dysphagia,1 had nausea and 2 had significant reflux in the Nissen group. While 3 patients recturred, 2 had dysphagia and 7 had significant reflux in the floppy Nissen group. The effective rates of the Nissen group and the floppy Nissen group were 81.5% and 88.1%, respectively. There was no significant difference in postoperative tests between two groups ( P > 0.05 ). Tests of cardia position by o'clock showed that cardia positions of 80. 1% patients before surgery were located at sites between 10 and 11 o'clock and those of 91.7% after surgery being at 9 o' clock or less. Conclusions The Niseen and the floppy Nissen fundoplication can reach good long-term results in treatment of sliding hiatus hernia. Mechanism of these antireflux procedures include, by fundoplication, increasing esophageal sphincter pressure, prolonging the sphincter length, deepening His angle and prolonging abdominal esophagus, etc. Among them, the last one, descending the cardia position to 9 o'clock or less is vital to antireflux.The test of cardia position by o'clock is practically important to reach the successful result.

10.Membrane guided bone regeneration technology for treatment of bone defects:How better to be used in clinic?
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2013;(42):7449-7454
BACKGROUND:Membrane guided bone regeneration technology has become an important method in repairing bone defects. With the deepening of the research, related concept and the mechanism of membrane guided bone regeneration have been gradual y confirmed, but there are stil some unresolved issues.
OBJECTIVE: To review the classification of membrane tubes, performance, disadvantages and advantages in membrane guided bone regeneration, as wel as some unresolved issues in application and research.
METHODS:The first author searched PubMed and CNKI databases to retrieve articles about the discovery of membrane guided bone regeneration and the concepts, classification of membrane tubes, performance, disadvantages and advantages during bone defect treatment, which were published from 1963 to 2013. The key words were“guided bone regeneration, guided tissue regeneration, bone defect treatment”in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Membrane guided bone regeneration technique is a most promising treatment for bone defects, but for the treatment of long tubular bone defects, it is stil in the experimental stage. Currently, there is no membrane tube for long-segment bone defects. According to the material sources, the membrane tubes can be divided into:non-biological material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polylactic acid, silica gel, titanium film;biological materials, such as col agen membrane, chitin membrane, polyhydroxybutyrate. The membrane tubes can also be classified into nondegradable materials and biodegradable materials. Biodegradable materials have good histocompatibility and no cytotoxicity, which can degrade in a certain period after implantation;part of the membrane can also al ow free exchange of tissue fluid and nutritional substances. But there are stil some shortcomings that the degradation time is difficult to control and the volume is difficultly maintained under the membrane tube. New bone formation in non-biodegradable materials is complete. In the process of osteogenesis, the membrane tube cannot be absorbed and has to be removed secondarily, though it has good histocompatibility and better therapeutic outcomes. In the future, we should further improve membrane performance, so that the membrane tube can play a dual role, fixation and guided bone regeneration;a series of animal studies should be conducted to study the effect of stress on the membrane tube and osseointegration within the membrane tube, to master the law of osseointegration of membrane tubes, thereby providing evidence for repair of long tubular bone defects.
