The HIV-1 capsid protein plays a crucial role in viral infectivity, assembling into a fullerene cone that encloses the viral RNA and it has gained attention as a promising therapeutic target. Research has been focused on the spatial structures of capsid proteins in recent years, and peptides and small molecules targeting capsid have been discovered. In this article, it summarizes the structure information of capsid protein, analyzes and compares the binding information of different peptides and small molecules targeting capsid. At the same time we give the perspective to the future drug discovery based on the protein-protein interaction during the maturation process.

With the development of surgical techniques, the use of nipple-areola complex (NAC)-sparing mastectomy (NSM) has been increasing. Except for oncologic safety, the aesthetic outcome of surgery is greatly concerned by clinicians and patients. So far, there has been no consensus on the incision of NSM. This article reviewed the literature so as to provide some evidence for the selection of NSM incision.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, it has been confirmed by a variety of ways that myoblasts can differentiate into osteoblasts under the induction of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2).OBJECTIVE: To explore the mineralization reaction during the osteogenic differentiation of myoblasts under the induction of recombinant rhBMP-2 and the feasibility of osteogenic phenotype expression by in vitro induction. METHODS: Myoblasts were isolated and harvested from neonatal Wistar rats using differential velocity adherent technique and trypsinization method. After in vitro culture, purification and identification, myoblasts at passage 3 were induced by a medium containing rhBMP-2 for 21 days. Myoblasts in the control group were cultured in vitro in complete medium without rhBMP-2 for 21 days. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After rhBMP-2 induction, myoblast proliferation gradually slowed down. A small quantity of opaque secretory granules were found in the cytoplasm on day 8 after induction; the number of opaque secretory granules increased on day 14 after induction; and a great quantity of opaque secretory granules were found in the cytoplasm on day 21 after induction while the myoblasts without induction fused into contractile myotubes. The alkaline phosphatase activity of the induced myoblasts increased as time extended; myoblasts reacted positively in the alkaline phosphatase staining, immunochemical staining for type Ⅰ collagen and calcium node staining on day 21 after induction. These findings suggest that mineralization reaction is found in rat myoblasts by rhBMP-2 induction and myoblasts can differentiate into osteoblasts under certain inducing conditions in vitro.

This review discusses several strategies that have been employed to enhance the regenerative effectiveness of artificial nerve guidance channels. These strategies include the use of scaffolds, the integration of contact-mediated cues within the tubular construct, and incorporation or delivery of exogenous growth factors into the conduit lumen uniformly or in a gradient form. Animal and clinical studies are reviewed to explain some of the ideas involved in developing a guidance channel of the future.

Objective]To study Xin'an physician Wang Xun diarrhea related theory of ideas in Cihangji, in order to more comprehensively understand diarrhea, to broaden the thinking, enhance the clinical curative effect. [Method] From the disease history, etiology and pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation and treatment,prescription drugs,and women,children with dysentery,make research on Wang's thought about diarrhea treatment. [Result] Wang's clinical diagnosis and treatment,well distinguished cold and heat; Not stick to the ancients,along seasons gas; Wang Xun created the prescription treatment of diarrhea for spring,summer,autumn,creation of winter season; on the pregnancy,postpartum woman and children with pox disease after the treatment of dysentery is summarized,with complete prescription. [Conclusion] Wang Xun Cihangji rich in content and syndrome differentiation of diarrhea, had experience,as today,treatment based on the thought of clinical diarrhea treatment still has important guiding significance.

Objective To explore the influence of blocking B7/CD28 co-stimulatory pathway by RNA interference on the rejection response in mice heterogeneous heart transplantation and its mecha- nism.Methods siRNA of which sequence specified to CD80 and CD86mRNA was synthesized in vitro respectively and transfected into donor derived myeloid dendritic cells (DCs).The expression levels of CD80 and CD86 mRNA and surface antigen CD80,CD86 were assayed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry before and after CD80siRNA and CD86siRNA transfection.Seven days prior to heterogeneous heart transplantation in mice,DCs modi- fied by siRNA were transfused into recipients intraveneously (DC interference group).At the same time,group of allograft transplantation,cyclosporine A (CsA)-treated (CsA injected subcutaneously postoperatively,5 mg.kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) group,group of isograft transplantation,and non-interference DC group (transfusion of non-interfered DCs pre-transplanting) were assigned.The graft survivals were individually recorded and the graft rejection grading was pathologically evaluated.Interleukin 2 (IL- 2),interferon?(IFN-?),and IL-10 mRNA expression levels in grafts tissue were determined.Results After siRNA transfected into DC,the expression levels of CD80 and CD86 mRNA were down- regulated significantly and the the antigen CD80~+ and CD86~+ reduced from 84%,67% to 35% and 30% respectively.As compared with groups of allograft and non-interference DC,survival of the grafts was significantly longer in DC interference group (P＜0.01),pathological grade of rejection significantly lower (P＜0.01),IL-2 and IFN-?mRNA expression levels lower,and IL-10 mRNA ex- pression levels higher in grafts tissue (P＜0.01).Conclusion Knocking down the molecule B7 expres- sion level in donor-derived myeloid DCs through RNAi,which could block B7/CD28 co-stimulatory pathway,could exhibit inhibitive effect on rejection response in mice heart transplantation.The mechanism might be due to induction of T lymphocyte anergy and Th cell differentiation deviating to T_H2.
