High mobility group box l protein (HMGB1) is a highly conserved non-histone DNA binding protein,which is widely distributed in eukaryotic cells.HMGB1 is an important proinflammatory cytokine,involving in various pathological and physiological processes,such as inflammation,neurogenesis and angiogenesis.In the early stage of intracerebral hemorrhage,HMGB1 can induce secondary brain injury,such as inflammatory reaction,neuronal necrosis,and brain edema.However,in the late stage of intracerebral hemorrhage,HMGB1 can promote angiogenesis and neurogenesis,and thus improving neurological function.HMGB1 will become a novel therapeutic target for intracerebral hemorrhage in the future.

Objective To construct a prokaryotic expression system of human ferritin L which could be overexpressed in E.coli, and then prepare quality control materials of rFL and evaluate the homogeneity, stability, precision and application value of the rFL.Methods RT-PCR was used to clone ferritin L gene with total RNA from peripheral blood.Ferritin L gene was inserted into plasmid pGM-T to construct subclone plasmid pGM-T/ferritin L, which was identified by sequencing.The recombinant plasmid pET-30a/ferritin L was transformed into E.coli BL21 (DE3) and efficiently expressed under IPTG induction.rFL was identified by SDS-PAGE, and its antigenicity was examined by WB.The concentration of rFL was measured by ACCESS immunoassay system.Fifteen control samples were randomly selected using random number table.The homogeneity and stability of rFL were evaluated by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and a linear regression model, respectively.The uncertainties of homogeneity, stability and the precision were evaluated.Results A prokaryotic expression system of ferritin L was successfully constructed.Sequence analysis showed that the ferritin L gene inserted was identical with the one from GenBank(NM_000146.3).The PCR products were 527 bp long, in complete agreement with length of ferritin L gene.The molecular weight of rFL highly expressed in E.coli induced by IPTG was 19 000 Da.The WB analysis indicated that this rFL protein had good antigenicity.The concentration of rFL(1 000 times dilution) measured by ACCESS immunoassay system was (1115.84±38.38) ng/ml.Homogeneity evaluation of low-concentration QC sample and high-concentration QC sample of rFL showed that there were no statistical significances in the within-groups and between-groups (for high-concentration F=2.336, P>0.05 and for low-concentration F=0.730, P>0.05).A linear regression based on the stability test indicated that there was no statistically significant trend of instability in five and a half months (F=1.755, P>0.05). Precision analysis showed the within-run CV, the between-run CV, the between-day CV and the total CV of high-concentration QC sample were 2.06%, 2.12%, 0% and 2.96% respectively; the within-run CV, the between-run CV, the between-day CV and the total CV of low-concentration QC sample 2.03%, 2.08%, 0% and 2.90%, respectively.Conclusion This rFL for quality control materials with independent intellectual property rights could meet the clinical requirement of homogeneity, stability and precision, and could provide raw materials for preparation of mixed ferritin for quality control.

Early lymph node metastasis is a common clinical phenomenon in many human cancers, which is associated with both aggressive disease and poor prognosis. Clearly, treatments to specifically block dissemination through the lymphatic network would be desirable either as independent therapies or as adjuncts to existing chemotherapy. At the present stage the target vessels for invasion by lymph-metastasizing tumor cells include preexisting tissue lymphatics abutting the tumor mass through either coincidence or mutual chemoattraction, as well as new lymphatic vessels that proliferate either within or around the tumor as a result of lymphangiogenesis. The lymphangiogenesis is regulated primarily by the lymphangiogenic growth factors VEGF-C and VEGF-D generated by tumor cells or host cells including tissue macrophages. Nevertheless, it remains controversial as to whether this metastasis-enhancing effect simply results from an increase of the number of target vessels due to mitogenesis or from other properties of the newly dividing tumor lymphatics.

Objective To investigate the anterior trans-injured vertebral short segment limited fixation and fusion in treating thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis.Methods One hundred and three patients with spinal tuberculosis from 2010 to 2012 were operated by trans-anterior approach(trans-thoracic above thoracic spine 12,trans-retroperitoneal below waist spine 1)tuberculosis focus clearance and spinal canal decompression,intervertebral bone graft of vertebral structure,and short segment internal fixation for residual disease spine.Results The nerve function of the patients was effectively improved after surgery,and the imaging re-sults showed that the average lesion kyphosis angle was significantly decreased(P <0.05).The postoperative follow-up found that the bone graft was fused after half a year,and the average local kyphosis angle was still 13°,which had no obvious change compared with that after operation.In addition,the internal fixation position had no looseness and fracture,the grafted bone had no displace-ment and detachment,the four limbs movement was normal without local percussion pain or tenderness.Conclusion The anterior trans-injured vertebral short segment limited fixation and fusion has the satisfactory short term clinical efficacy in the treatment of thoracic and lumbar spinal tuberculosis.

Objective To summarize clinical results of 29 cases of multi-vessel coronary disease treated by hybrid revascularization.Methods A total of 29 consecutive patients(all male,aged 62.8?9.7 years) with coronary artery disease(two-vessel,n=10;three-vessel,n=19) were treated with minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass(MIDCAB)(left internal mammary artery to left anterior descending artery,LIMA-to-LAD) and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) between January 2000 and April 2005.The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was 0.576?0.108.Concomitant diseases included hypertension in 23 patients,insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus in 5 patients,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in 2 patients,and old myocardial infarction in 14 patients.Results The 29 patients received 33 grafts(LIMA: 27 grafts;great saphenous vein: 6 grafts).Balloon angioplasty was carried out in 41 coronary lesions,usually following surgery.The mean number of revascularization was 2.5 per patient.There was no surgery-related complications and mortality.The blood flow in the LIMA was 45?14 ml/min.The chest drainage volume was 274?197 ml.Blood transfusion was required in 2 patients(6.9%).The length of ICU stay was 1.9?0.1 d and the length of hospital stay was 4~11 d(mean,7.5 d).Follow-up for 2.2?0.9 years showed no late death and myocardial infarction.Postoperative New York Heart Association(NYHA) Classification showed Class Ⅰ in 25 patients and Class Ⅱ in 4 patients.Repeated angiography was conducted in 4 patients,which found great saphenous vein graft occluded in 1 patient and stent re-stenosis in 2 patients.Conclusions The midterm results of hybrid techniques for coronary artery disease are satisfactory.Hybrid procedure is beneficial to high-risk patients.The long-term results need further investigation.

ObjectiveTo summarize the short-term effects o f Symmetry aortic co nnector in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) operation. MethodsTwo hundreds and four patients suffering from coronary artery d isease underwent OPCAB from September 2002 to June 2003. Among the 204 patients, saphenous vein grafts were used in 167 patients and Symmetry aortic connectors were adopted in 100 of them.ResultsOf 142 connectors used, 2 connectors fai led and manual r epairs were required in 3 cases because of anastomotic leakage, the success rate being 96 5% (137 of 142). The number of proximal anastomosis was (1 4?0 5) per case and the number of distal anastomosis (3 5?0 8) per case. The proximal a na stomotic blood flow was (46 5?22 3) ml/min. The fitting time for connectors w as (4 0?1 1) min, and anastomoses were all accomplished within 10 seconds. The op eration time was (3 2?0 4) hours. The operative death rate was 1% (1 of 100). R e-operation of thoracotomy was required in 1 case because of bleeding but not an astomotic bleeding. No myocardial infarction or stroke occurred in the peri-oper ative period. The postoperative drainage amount was (547?247) ml. The blood tra nsfusion rate was 36 0% (36 of 100). The postoperative hospital stay was (7 8 ?1 6) days.ConclusionsSymmetry aortic connector can be saf ely and effectively used in coronary artery bypass grafting operations, with satisfactory short-term clinical effects. The procedure may shorten operation time, avoid aortic clampi ng, and lower the incidence of stroke.
