Objective To construct the stably over-expressing hB7-H3 gene human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC1,and provide tools for further investigating the function of hB7-H3.Methods hB7-H3 gene fragment was inserted into lentiviral plasmid GV287 carrying GFP to construct recombinant hB7-H3-GV287 plasmid vector.293T cells were transfected,and the GFP expression was evaluated under fluorescence microscopy.Western Blot wasused to detect the expression of hB7-H3 protein.Lentiviral vectors were packaged and the titer was determined.The recombinant hB7-H3 expressed lentivirus was used to infect PANC1 cell.Flow cytometry was applied to detecte the percentage of GFP and hB7-H3 positive cells.Real-time PCR and Western Blot was used to verify the mRNA and protein expression of hB7-H3.Self-cyclizing GV287 plasmid served as negative control (NC).Results PCR amplified fragment of recombinant plasmid was around 1 368 bp,and no amplified production of NC plasmid was observed.The DNA sequencing of recombinant plasmid was completely consistent with the designed fragment,indicating that hB7 H3-GV287 plasmid was successfully constructed.293T cells transfected with recombinant plasmid expressed hB7-H3 protein,while those cells transfected with NC plasmid did not express hB7-H3 protein.The virus titer of lentiviral packaged recombinant hB7-H3 plasmid was 2 × 108 TU/ml.The percentage of hB7-H3 positive cells,hB7-H3 mRNA and protein expression in PANC1 cells infected with cells infected with hB7-H3 lentivirus was 94.3％,5.09 ± 0.24 and 2.85 ± 0.27,respectively,which was obviously higher than 18.5％,1.28 ± 0.53 and 0.44 ± 0.69 in cells infected with NC lentivirus,and the differences were statistically significant (P value ＜0.01).Conclusions A human pancreatic cancer cell line PANC1 stably over-expressing hB7-H3 was successfully constructed.

Objective To discuss the influence of intravenous anesthesia with procaine on the release of central nervous Ach. Methods 50 samples of plasma were collected from healthy people, and 30 samples of plasma from cases prior to surgical operation, during anesthesia and after operation respectively. The activity of Ach in the plasma was measured. Then observe the dropping speed and concentration of procaine at different time during anesthesia, and the subsequent changes of the activity of plasma Ach and the slowdown of its activity. Results The data showed that the activity of plasma Ach prior to operation was considerably lower than that of the control group (P

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of von H ippel-Lindau (VHL) disease.Methods The clinic data of one kindred with VHL disease type Ⅱ B was reviewed including clinical manifestation,imaging,pathology and therapy.A 40-year-old male complained of the left upper extremity numbness for 6 months,and a variety of visceral tumors were found 3 months ago.Contrast-enhanced MR imaging showed multiple brain tumors.CT showed left kidney tumor,pancreatic tumor,pars-aortic tumor and left adrenal tumor.Fundoscopy showed multiple retinal hemangioblastoma.PET-CT discovered abdominal multiple tumors.And pedigree analysis was to determine the family medical history,and 6 members got genetic screening.Results In the kindred with VHL disease type Ⅱ B,9 members (30％) out of 40members in 4 generations got the disease.Six members got genetic screening,and the result showed 5 (5/6) members had mutation.Three (3/5) members with 3 sites genetic mutation showed clinical manifestation,1 (1/5) members with 3 sites genetic mutation without clinical manifestation found brain tumors by MRI,and 1 ( 1/5 ) member with 1 site genetic mutation did not find disease by comprehensive checkup.The main mutation located at exon 1 in chromosome 3p25 of VHL gene.All mutation was hetcrozygous mutation.The 295,337 and 337 nucleotide thymine of the VHL gene were substituted by cytosine,cytosine and adenine,which made the 98th,112th and 112th tyrosine substituted by histidine and asparagines.One member with 1 site mutation had 98th tyrosine substituted by cytosine.The first operation was to remove brain tumor,and the second operation was to remove adrenal tumor,para-aortic tumor and renal tumor.Pathology of the brain tumors showed hemangioblastoma,and the retroperitoneal tumors were clear cell carcinoma,paraganglioma and pheochromocytoma.Followed up for 6 months after operation,no relapse occurred.Conclusions VHL disease is a relatively rare autosomal dominant disorder.Comprehensive management of patients should also include genetic counseling and screening for other manifestations of the disease process.Genetic testing might be helpful in early detection of asymptomatic VHL patients.Members having gene mutation should be followed up strictly.Surgical management of VHL disease should be decided on the base of comprehensive assess.Multiple lesions could be cut off in one operation.For patients with pheochromocytoma,pheochromocytoma shuld be handled first.

Objective To assess the factors affecting survival of malignant pheochromocytoma/malignant paraganglioma.Methods The clinical data of 85 malignant pheochromocytoma/malignant paraganglioma patients were analyzed retrospectively.All the patients were followed up,the duration from 2 months to 283 months,the median time was 48 months.The overall survivals of 5 years and 10 years were calculated.The possible affecting factors,such as gender,age,tumor function,metastatic sites,metastatic fields,incipience or recurrence,the time to recur,were analyzed.Survival differences between groups were compared with the log rank test.Multivariate analysis was performed by using Cox regression analysis to detect variables independently associated with survival.All P values were 2 tailed with P ＜ 0.05 considered statistically significant.All statistical analysis was done by SPSS 17.0 software package.Results The overall median survival time was 62 months,5-year survival rate was 44.7％,10-year survival rate was 11.8％.Gender (P =0.649),age (P =0.228),incipience or recurrence (P =0.217) had no significant effect on the survival time.Significance was found in tumor function (P =0.034),metastatic sites,metastatic fields (P =0.009),the time to recur (P =0.003).The median survival time of patients with nonfunctioning tumor and functioning tumor was 90 months and 37 months.The median survival time of patients with multiple system metastases and single system metastasis was 37 months and 117 months.For the patients with single system invaded,there were 15 cases (26.8％) of bone metastasis,10 cases (17.9％) of lymph node metastasis,8 (14.3％) of liver metastasis,7 (12.5％) of lung metastasis,6 (10.7％) of renal metastasis,6 (10.7％) of intestine metastasis and 4 (7.1％) of brain metastasis.The median survival time was 110,77,28,14,26,8 and 19 months.The median survival time of patients with lung,liver,intestine metastasis were shorter than the other patients (P ＜ 0.05).Fifty-five patients were found recurrence after operation,recurrent time was from 4 to 65 months,and the median time was 22 months.The survival time of patients with recurrence within 2 years was shorter than patients above 2 years (P =0.003).Conclusions The prognosis of malignant pheochromocytoma/malignant paraganglioma is poor.Gender,age,incipience or recurrence could not affect the overall survival time.The survival time has relationship with the function of tumor,metastatic field,metastatic sites and time to recurrence.The patients with nonfunctioning tumor have longer survival time than those with functioning tumors.The survival time of patients with single system invaded is longer than ones with multiple systems invaded.The common metastatic sites are bone,lymph node,liver,lung,kidney,intestine and brain.Patients with intestine metastasis have worst prognosis.The patients with only bone and lymph node metastasis have best prognosis.Patients with recurrence above 2 years have a better prognosis than those within 2 years.

Objective To compare the performance of two commercially available ELISA kits for detection of diphtheria IgG antibody to provide data for the proper kit choice. Methods Thirty-three serum samples from staff of the capital airdrome and two standard sera were tested for the evaluation of the kits.Commercial ELISAs were compared with respect to their reproducibility(intra-assay variation and inter-assay variation)and accuracy.Results For the detection of standard serum,intra-assay variation(Coefficient of Variation,CV)was 13.5507% for IBL kit and 5.9541% for Virion kit,the inter-assay variation(CV)was 9.9890% for IBL and 2.4728% for Virion kit.For the serum sample,intra-assay variation(CV)was 14.5270% for IBL and 11.0612% for Virion,the inter-assay variation(CV)11.0039% for IBL and 8.1506% for Virion kit.For the detection of standard serum,inter-assay variation(CV)was 9.9890% for IBL and 2.4728% for Virion.The accuracy was analyzed by variation between the actual concentration and measured concentration of standard serum,the CV was 17.6889% for IBL and 1.3966% for Virion.Conclusion The intra-assay and inter-assay variation of the two kits are generally acceptable(CV

Objective: To study the prevalence of antibody to citrullinated human fibrinogen(ACF) in rheumatic diseases and the diagnostic values in rheumatoid arthritis.Methods: Human fibrinogen was deiminated by the peptidylarginine deiminase(PAD) in the presence of Ca~(2+) in vitro.ACF was detected by ELISA in 352 patients with rheumatic diseases(183 RA,121 SLE and 48 OA) and 108 healthy controls.The sensitivity and specificity in RA were calculated and the correlations between ACF and the clinical and laboratory parameters were analysed by SPSS statistical software.Results: Compared with SLE(25.62%),OA(18.75%) and healthy control(2.78%) respectively,the patients with RA had a significantly higher level of ACF(67.21%,P

Objective To preliminarily evaluate the diagnostic value of co registration and fusion of positron emission tomography and MR images in Alzheimer disease (AD). Methods Twelve patients with AD (53-83 years) and six normal volunteer (45-71 years) were scanned by positron emission tomography (PET) and MR imaging. The interval between two examination was 1-32 days (average:18 2?11 6 days). The disc and magnetic tape were used to transfer the imaging data to image work station (SGI O 2), then the special software for co registration and fusion: Statistical Parametric Map was used to do automatic co registration between PET and MR images of brain in 3D. Results The findings of PET was completely accorded with the changes of AD in 9 patients (9/12), and accorded with AD, but should be differentiate from other diseases in 3 cases (3/12). According to the measurement of special cerebral structures, MR images could make the diagnosis of AD in 11 patients (11/12), and had no abnormal finding in 1 case. The medial temporal atrophy could be seen on the MR images co registrated with PET in AD patients, on the other hand, PET demonstrated the pink color region of metabolic rate of glucose decreased in temporoparietal lobes of cerebral hemisphere. The similar findings depicted on fusion images as red color region of metabolic rate of glucose decreased in temporoparietal lobes. Conclusion The co registrated images can accurately observe the abnormal findings of PET and MR images, and fix the location of foci depicted by PET, in addition, fusion images increase the contrast of the foci. Analyzing the images of co registration and fusion of PET and MRI can lead to the diagnosis of AD in all the patients.

Objective To evaluate CT in the diagnosis of small bowel obstruction in children. Methods Thirty one cases with small bowel obstruction manifestations on CT and plain radiograph were analysed. The age ranged from 9 months to 14 years, male 17 cases, female 14 cases. There were 29 acute small bowel obstructions, and 2 chronic obstruction. Seven cases had history of previous abdominal operation. Results Corred diagnosis was made in 19 cases and 29 cases respectively by plain film and CT. The accurate etiologic diagnosis could be made by CT in 18 cases, including small bowell stone 4 cases, intussusception, 5 localized infection and adhesion 6 intraluminal bowel duplication, 1 congenital umbilical hernia, congenital malrotation of the intestine 1 case.Combined with history of abdominal operation the accurate CT etiologic diagnosis increased to 25 cases.There were 4 CT false negative cases and 2 plain film false negative cases. Conclusion The CT is obviously superior to plain radiograph in detecting strangulation and gas in bowel wall,better dilineating the transitional segment of bowel stenosis thereby demonstrating the case of obstruction which is very helpful for clinical management.

Objective To investigate the cytogenetic toxic effects of copper sulfate on root tip cells of Zea mays L.Methods The root tip cells of Zea mays L were treated by copper sulfate as mutagen at the doses of 0.05,0.10,0.25,0.50,1.00 g /L for 24 hours.The mitotic index,the micronucleus rate and the chromosome aberration rate of tip cells of Zea mays L were measured.Results Compared with the negative control group,the micronucleus rates and the mitotic index in 0.05,0.10,0.25,0.50,1.00 g /L groups and the chromosome aberration rates in 0.05,0.10,0.25,0.50 g /L groups increased significantly(P

Objective To investigate the values of computed tomography(CT) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopanc reatography(ERCP) in acute biliary tract obstruction associated with Clonorchiasis. Methods The image features of 47 patients with acute biliary tract obstruction associated with Clonorchiasis proved by operation (27 cases) and ERCP (20 cases) were reviewed retrospectively. Results Fourty-three cases showed equal intrahepatic bile duct diffuse dilatation from porta hepatis to capusle with different levels in CT, and 39 cases showed extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. There was no significant relationship for the extent of intra and extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. It showed the end of intrahepatic bile duct shaped like a bag in 41 cases, a enlarged gallbladder in 38 cases, and 9 cases with a soft intralumenal masses. There were 13 patients with pancreas swelling and 8 with pancreatic duct dilatation. Of the 20 patients underwent ERCP, eighteen cases showed intrahepatic bile duct diffuse dilatation with the end shaped like a bag, and 16 showed extrahepatic bile duct dilatation. Irregular filling-defect was seen in the common bile duct in 9 cases. The obstruction were relieved after Oddi's muscle endoscopic sphincrectomy(EST). Conclusion The patients with acute obstructive jaundice can be diagnosed as Clonorchiasis, if CT or ERCP showed equal intrahepatic bile duct diffuse dilatation with the end shaped like a bag and with extrahepatic bile duct dilatation, which can be confirmed by the worms and eggs found in the drawing-out bile, and the obstruction can be relived by EST.
