Objective To establish human hepatic carcinoma HepG2 cell line in which the expression of exogenous gene could be controlled by doxycycline. Methods The expression plasmid pTet-on was transfected into hepG2 cells by lipofectamine 2000.The stably transfected positive clones were screened with G 418 and subcultured. The expression level of luciferase induced by doxycycline at a concentration of 1 ?g/ml in stably transfected cells was detected one by one by transient transfection of plasmid pTRE-luc into the stably transfected cells. Results The basal expression activity of luciferase in cells of clone No 6 was 87, and the activity was 16764 after induction with doxycycline. Conclusion The HepG2/Tet-on cell line was a regulatory human hepatoma cell line, which is useful for the study of carcinogenesis and gene therapy of hepatic carcinoma.

AIM: To observe the changes of plasma content of Glu-plasminogen (plasmin, Pln) in patients during blood coagulation and/or fibrinolytic system activation. METHODS: Using specific McAb to antigenic determinant in NH 2 terminal (1-65 aa) of Pln and specific McAb to antigenic determinant in heavy chain of plasminogen, the sandwiched ELISA method was established to detect Glu-plasminogen and total plasminogen in human plasma collected from 220 normal controls and 40 patients after heart surgery. RESULTS: The average total plasminogen was (231.8?62.1) mg/L and average Glu-plasminogen was (231.9?45.8) mg/L in 220 normal controls, the ratio of Glu-plasminogen to total plasminogen (G/P) was 0.91. The ratio of Glu-plasminogen [(152.4?68.1) mg/L] to total plasminogen [(268.9?73.3) mg/L] in 40 patients after heart surgery was significantly lower than that in normal controls ( P

Objective To analyze the correlationship of ACE I/D gene polymerphisms with the anti-hypertensive efficacy of irbesartan among essential hypertension (EH) patients in Yunnan han people.Methods One hundred EH patients hypertension were treated with irbesartan 150mg once daily for 4 weeks,and anti-hypertensive efficacy were monitored during the treatment.Results There was a significant difference between anti-hypertensive efficacy of irbesartan among different genotype groups,DD group ＞ID group ＞Ⅱ group (P ＜ 0.05) Conclusions There is different therapy responsiveness in diffenent genotypes.ACE I/D polymorphism may be an important hereditary factor that impacts the efficacy of irbesartan.

Objective To evaluate prognostic indicators in severe traumatic brain injury and intracania hamatomas with hernia and analyze which is the most important indicator.Methods Data of 84 cases with severe traumatic brain injury were retrospectively analyze .Age,GCS,pupil reflex,midline shift,compression of the cisteme,decompression time and complex injury were considered as possible prognostic indicators.SPSS13.0 was employed to analyze the data,Logistic regression(Forward conditional)analysis was done to confirm which are the most important prognostic indicators for severe traumatic brain injury and to evaluate the practical value in predicting prognosis(X2= 22.92,P＜ 0.01).Results 48 patients died and 36 survived.56(67%)patients had a bad prognosis(GCS≤3)and 28(33%)had a good prognosis(GCS ＞3).Those who had a shorter decompression time(≤3h)had a better prognosis than those who had a longer decompression time(＞3h),with the mortality rate of 11% and 67% respectively.Lesser cisteme compression predicts better outcome.GCS,pupil reflex,midline shift,and complex injury didn' t enter the logistic regression equation.According to compression time,90.5% of the cases' prognosis was accurately predicted,according to compression time and cisterne compression,95.2% was accurately predicted.Conclusion The mortality rate of severe traumatic brain injury with hernia was high and surgical intervention was effective.Decompression time and cisteme compression were the most important factors affecting prognosis in severe traumatic brain injury and they could predict prognosis of most cases correctly.

Objective:To eveluate and study the anatomic basis of the posterior contour sign of lumbar intervertebral disc.Methods:The most protruding length of the soft tissue mass behind intervertebral spase on lumbar plain film were measured in 100 cases and compared with CT or MR findings.Results:41 posterior contour sign of the interlumbar disc were fined in 39 cases,of which there were 25 in L4/5(61.0%),15 in L3/4(15.6%)and 1 in L2/3(2.4%).The protruding was less than 0.2 cm in 26 and larger than 0.2 cm in 15,there were 10 lumbar disc protruding confirmed by CT or MR ,7 of which the pesterior contour ≥0.2 cm,and 3＞0.3 cm,none was ≤0.2 cm.Conclusion:The adipose tissue in the posterior border of lumbar body and disc was the anatomic basis of the sign,and it was an importent sign for diagnosing of lumbar disc hernia on plain film.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of parecoxib sodium for preemptive analgesia.Methods PubMed,EMBASE,Cochrane Library,and CNKI database were searched for randomized placebo-controlled trials involving the efficacy of parecoxib sodium for preemptive analgesia.The modified Jadad scale was used for quality assessment.Evaluation indexes included VAS scores at 1,6,12 and 24 h after operation,consumption of morphine within 24 h after operation,and incidences of nausea and vomiting after operation.Meta-analysis was conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0.2 software.Results Fourteen randomized placebo-controlled trials involving 1086 patients were included in our meta-analysis.The modified Jadad scale scores for the 14 studies were ≥ 4.The patients were divided into 2 groups:placebo group and parecoxib sodium 40 mg injected before operation group.The results of meta-analysis showed that VAS scores at 1,6,12 and 24 h after operation were significantly decreased,the consumption of morphine within 24 h after operation was reduced,and the incidences of nausea and vomiting after operation were decreased in parecoxib sodium 40 mg injected before operation group as compared with placebo group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Intravenous injection of parecoxib sodium 40 mg before operation can produce significant preemptive analgesic efficacy and is helpful in decreasing the adverse effect of postoperative analgesia.

Objective To analyze the risk factors on type 2 diabetic with foot ulcer.Methods 69diabetic foot patients were involved in the study.According to ulcer,patients were divided into the ulcer group(n=25)and the no-ulcer group (n=44).FBG,2h PBG,HbA1c,TC,TG,HDL,LDL,BUN,Cr.CRP were examined.T-test and chi-square test were used to assess the risk factors on diabetic foot patients with clure.Results Compared with the no-ulce group,the ulcer grou were associated with HDL and CRP.Chi-square-test demonstrated a statistically significant difference between the groups with ulcer and no-ulcer grou on incidence of hypertension and ulcer in diabetic foot patients(P
