Malaria remains a serious public health problem,especially in developing countries. With the deepening of the un-derstanding of vivax malaria,Plasmodium vivax is also attracting more and more attention. An effective drug treatment is the foun-dation of controlling or even eliminating malaria. In recent years,more and more reports of chloroquine-resistance Plasmodium vivax have been reported. Plasmodium vivax chloroquine resistance has been a focus problem in vivax malaria prevention and treat-ment. In this paper,the research progress on distribution situation,detection methods and molecular markers of Plasmodium vivax chloroquine resistance is summarized.

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2/neu) is an important prognostic predictor and the key predictor of anti-HER-2 therapy of breast cancer. Accurate testing of HER-2 status for breast cancer patients is important in clinical practice. As of this writing, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the College of American Pathologists recommend three methods for HER-2 detection, namely, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence in situ hybridization, and bright-field in situ hybridization. The abovementioned methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. New methods, such as multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and RNA in situ hybridization, are currently applied to detect HER-2 status. New technologies not only make up for the shortcomings of routine methods but also have unique benefits that can meet the demands for HER-2 testing of some breast cancer patients. Thus, these methods are promising for clinical applications and can improve clinical diagnosis and treatment. The characteristics, advantages, and drawbacks of these technologies are introduced and reviewed in this paper.

4.The research of site R 122 L mutate improve the stability of recombinant human anionic trypsin
Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;(2):61-64,67
Objective The stability and other characteristics of the active recombinant human anionic trypsin(hT 2) with site-mutation R 122 L(mhT 2) were investigated. Methods An active human anionic trypsin and its R 122 L mutate were produced with E.coli BL 21(DE 3) and purified with ion-exchange chromatography. The properties of mutant were studied and compared with the wild type. Results The optimal pH for mhT 2 was 7~11. mhT 2 was active over a broad temperature range (4℃~80℃) and owned a little better thermal stability than the wild type. The inhibition of typical metal chelating agent(EDTA), Fe 3+, denaturant, reducer(β-ME) on activity of mhT 2 was the same as the wild type. Michaelis constant Km of mhT 2 was 0.010 mmol/L with BAEE as a substrate, a little lower than wild type. Conclusion Compared with the wild type, the R 122 L site mutate significantly enhanced tolerance to acidic pH、denaturants、reductions and autolysis.

Objective To investigate the changes of gastrin(GAS) and somatostatin(SS) in diabetic gastroparesis (DGP). Methods Totally 103 patients were divided into normal control group (n =17),simple gastroparesis(GP) group (n =30),simple diabetes mellitus(DM) group (n =23) and diabetes mellitus complicated with gastroparesis (DGP) group (n =33). Radioimmunity and RT-PCR were performed to detect the serum GAS and SS levels and the mRNA expression in the gastric mucosa tissue of 4 groups. Results There were significant differences in the serum levels and protein expression of GAS and SS between simple gastroparesis group,simple diabetes mellitus group, DGP group and the normal control group(P< 0.05). The differences between DGP group and normal control group was the most significant (P< 0.01), the differences between DGP group and the simple gastroparesis group or simple diabetes mellitus group were significant (P< 0.05). Contusion The increase of GAS and decrease of SS may play an important role in the occurrence and development of DGP.

Objective To improve the understanding of autoimmune disease related panereatitis by analyzing their clinical features.Methods The clinical features were analyzed retrospectively in 28 autoimmune disease related pancreatitis cases from Peking Union Medical College Hospital(PUMCH),according to the associated autoimmune diseases.Results (1)The average age was(40.0±16.1)years,and the ratio of male to female patients Was 1:6.There were 24 acute and 4 chronic pancreatitis in the 28 cases.(2)The common related autoimmune diseases were systemic lupus erythematosus(20/28)and Sjogren's syndrome(6/28).(3)The characteristics of the autoimmune diseases was multi-system involvement,such as hematologic system,kidney,liver,etc.(4)Clinical features of those acute pancreatitis shown that no distinct trigger exist for acute pancreatitis.and the radiological changing Was not prominent.(5)In laboratory examination,an obvious increase of CA199 coaid be seen,paralleling the severity of pancreatitis.(6)Glucocorticoids or immunosuppressors was effective,and the mortality rate of acute pancreatitis cases was 33.3%.ConclusionsAutoimmune disease related pancreatitis is dominant with acute pancreatitis and females is common,which may reflect the activity of autoimmune diseases.Autoimmune disease related acute pancreatitis has a high mortality rate.Glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressors may be useful to relieve the pancreatitis.

Objective To investigate the isolation and drug resistance change trend of pathogens isolated from ce-rebrospinal fluid (CSF)of neurosurgical patients in Beijing Tian Tan Hospital.Methods Pathogens and antimicro-bial susceptibility of pathogens from CSF specimens of neurosurgical patients from August 1997 to August 2013 were analyzed.Results A total of 2 732 isolates of pathogens were detected,gram-positive and gram-negative bacte-ria accounted for 71 .23% (n = 1 946 )and 28.77% (n =786 )respectively.The top three isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus spp .(n =1 751 ,64.09%),Acinetobacter spp .(n =254,9.30%),and Enterococcus spp .(n =172,6.30%).Gram-positive bacteria were the major isolated pathogens,detection rate of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA ) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (MRCNS ) was 74.34% and 80.73% respectively;gram-negative bacteria increased gradually in recent years.All Staphylococcus spp .isolates were highly sensitive to vancomycin and linezolid(>90%).The overall antimicrobial susceptibility rate of gram-negative bacteria decreased,susceptibility rates of Acinetobacter spp .to imipenem and meropenem was 51 % and 44% respectively.Conclusion The major pathogens causing intracranial infection in neurosurgical patients are gram-positive bacteria,the detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS are high;gram-negative bacteria,especially extensively drug-resistant Acinetobacter spp .shows an increasing tendency in recent years.
