Streptomyces phage ?C31 integrase is a site-specific recombinase and introduce foreign gene to unidirectional recombination.Because of its integration mediated by ?C31 integrase without any cofactors and especially directed integration,it possesses high efficiency and stable expression of foreign gene.These advantages make it an attractive tool for genetic engineering.It has been widely used to transgene integration in mammalians and provides an opportunity to overcome the bottlenecks in the generation of transgenetic animals,such as random integration,low integral rate,low level of expression and so on.The ?C31 integrase will have a wide application in the near future.
2.131I treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in children and adolescents
Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2014;34(1):76-78
The occurrence rate of DTC in children and adolescents is not high.However,DTC in these patients has some distinct characteristics different from those in adult,such as larger tumor volume at diagnosis,early invasion of neck lymph nodes and early distant metastases,high NIS expression,high recurrence but higher overall survival rate.131 I ablation is still one of the important treatment methods after surgery.Currently,there are 3 major dosage regimens adopted for 131I treatment: prescribed dose without causing bone marrow suppression/toxicity,dose aiming at tumor ablation,and empirically fixed dose.

Objective To explore the feasibility of using the consensus of European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People(EWGSOP) to diagnose sarcopenia among community-dwelling women aged from seventy to seventy-nine in Shanghai.Methods Twenty-two healthy community-dwelling women were recruited as the subject group(group S),and another ten young girls were randomly selected as the control group(group C).The anthropometry,bioelectrical impedance analysis(BIA)and dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry(DEXA)were used to evaluate the circumferences of upper and lower limbs,and the dimension of muscle mass,according to relative appendicular skeletal mass(RASM)and skeletal muscle index(SMI).The grip dynamometer and isokinetic dynamometer were used to measure the muscle strength of upper and lower limbs.The ten meters gait speed,functional reach test,timed up and go test,Berg balance scale and short physical performance battery were all applied to assess the physical performance.The criteria of EWGSOP consensus were applied to diagnose the situation of sarcopenia.Results Firstly,the average biceps circumference and fat mass of upper limbs in group S were significantly higher than group C (P<0.01),while no significant differences were observed in the muscle mass(P>0.05).Secondly,RASM values gained from BIA and DEXA in S group were significantly higher than C group(P<0.05),while the SMI values of the former were significantly lower than the latter(P< 0.01).Thirdly,absolute grip strength,relative grip strength and other bio-mechanical indexes of lower limbs in the s group were significantly lower than the C group(P<0.01);the relative grip strength showed significant correlation with most bio-mechanical indexes of lower limbs.Fourthly,the physical performance in group S declined significantly compared with that of the c group(P<O.05),and no significant correlation was found between muscle strength and physical performance of upper limbs except the absolute grip strength and gait speed.The prevalence was 0% according to the RASM index,while the prevalence was 63.6% and 45.4% according to the BIA and DEXA respectively.Conclusion The assessing pattern from EWGSOP consensus could not be simply copied to applying on Chinese old people due to serious difference between RASM and SMI.The combination of SMI+relative grip strength+ TUG/SPPB/Berg may be better than the classical mode of RASM+absolute grip strength+gait speed in diagnosing sarcopenia.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac stem cells can differentiate into cardiomyocytes in vitro under induction of pilose antlerpolypeptides, which provides a new therapeutic idea for myocardial injury.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of pilose antler polypeptides on the apoptosis rate and membrane stability ofmitochondria in cardiac stem cells.METHODS: We chose healthy male Wistar rats born 2 days to extract cardiac stem cells. The culture dish was used asthe experimental unit, and extracted cells were divided into the following four groups (n=12). Blank control group: Thesame amount of buffer was added for induction; 5-azacytidine group: induced with 5-azacytidine (3 μmol/L); pilose antlerpolypeptides group: induced with pilose antler polypeptides (800 mg/L); combined group: induced with pilose antlerpolypeptides (800 mg/L) and 5-azacytidine (3 μmol/L). After 48 hours induction, apoptosis rate of cardiac stem cells ineach group was detected with flow cytometry. The membrane potential of mitochondria in cardiac stem cells wasdetected with immunofluorescence. The expression level of Nkx 2.5, GATA4, ATF-2, and MEF-2C in cardiac stem cellswas detected using western blot assay.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were small, round and bright cells after 2 weeks culture, and cell colonies ofcardiac stem cells formed. The apoptosis rate of cardiac stem cells in the 5-azacytidine group increased significantly (P <0.05) and its membrane potential decreased significantly compared with the blank control group (P < 0.05). Theapoptosis rate of cardiac stem cells in the pilose antler polypeptides group and combined group decreased significantlycompared with the 5-azacytidine group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and their membrane potential increased significantly (P <0.05, P < 0.01). The results of western blot showed that the expression level of Nkx2.5 increased significantly in thepilose antler polypeptides group and combined group compared with the 5-azacytidine group (P < 0.05), while theexpression levels of GATA4 and ATF-2 in each group were low and there were no significant differences among groups(P > 0.05). The expression level of MEF-2C in each group was at a middle level, and there were no significantdifferences among groups (P > 0.05). To conclude, our experimental findings indicate that pilose antler polypeptidescould decrease the apoptosis rate and improve membrane stability of mitochondria in cardiac stem cells. Themechanism may be related to the increased expression of Nkx 2.5, but whether the mechanism is related to GATA4,ATF-2 and MEF-2C needs to be further studied.
