Bis-(3′,5′) cyclic di-guanylate (c-di-GMP) is an almost ubiquitous intracellular second messenger in bacteria.Now it is known to regulate complex physiological processes, including mobility, adhesion, virulence and biofilm formation.The level of c-di-GMP is regulated by diguanylate cyclases (DGCs) containing GGDEF domains and phosphodiesterases (PDEs) containing EAL or HD-GYP domains.Recent studies have demonstrated that HD-GYP domain protein is a novel phosphodiesterase, which is also involved in the regulation of c-di-GMP degradation.This review highlights recent advances in the structure and biochemical functions of HD-GYP domain proteins, which might help to further clarify the mechanism of c-di-GMP signal system.

BACKGROUND:Now, domestic total knee arthroplasty surgeries mainly use medial parapatel ar approach, with the disadvantages of large trauma and slower recovery. The quadriceps sparing approach is more accorded with normal anatomy, which can keep the knee extension system intact. The clinical comparison between quadriceps sparing approach and medial parapatel ar approach is rare.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the early effect of total knee arthroplasty through quadriceps sparing approach and medial parapatel ar approach.
METHODS:From January 2009 to January 2010, 55 patients (70 knees) were randomly divided into quadriceps sparing approach group (n=26, 35 knees) and medial parapatel ar approach group (n=29, 35 knees). Patients in two groups received total knee arthroplasty through quadriceps sparing approach and medial parapatel ar
approach respectively. The incision length, operative time, postoperative drainage volume, additional amount of etoricoxib tablets, pain degree, straight leg raising time, start walking time, hospitalization time, range of motion of knee joint, Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score, radiographic alignment of al components and complications were compared between two groups. Al the prostheses used in this study were the Sigma type prostheses
provided by the rotation platform of Johnson&Johnson Company.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the patients were fol owed-up for 12-24 months without infections, deep vein thrombosis, neurovascular injury, prosthesis instability, prosthesis loosening or displacement. Position of al the
prostheses was normal in patients. The operative time in the quadriceps sparing approach group was longer than that in the medial parapatel ar approach group (P=0.00), while the incision length, postoperative drainage volume, additional
amount of etoricoxib tablets, visual analog scale, straight leg raising time, start walking time, hospitalization time, range of motion of knee joint at 3 days after replacement and Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score in the quadriceps
sparing approach group were better than those in the medial parapatel ar approach group (P<0.05). There were no
significant differences in range of motion of knee joint at 3 days after replacement and Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score between two groups. The early effect of total knee arthroplasty through quadriceps sparing approach is better than the medial parapatel ar approach, and there is no significant difference in prosthesis alignment between two methods.

Objective To investigate the renal function of the patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its effect on patients' outcome.Methods The renal function of 680 patients with AMI,received the conventional therapies, such as thrmbolysis, antiplatelet and antianginal therapies were investigated. According to it, 228 patients with renal dysfunction[GFR <90ml · min-1 · ( 1.73m2 ) -1]were divided into observation group,while the others[GFR≥90ml · min-1 · (1.73m2) -1]were divided into control group. To analyse their clinical characteristics、the inhospital mortality、one year mortality and the heart ocurrence rate in one year. Results Compared with the patients in the control group,the patients in the observation group were older、more likely to be women、and more likely to have hypertension、diabetes mellitus、coronary heart disease. The inhospital and one year mortality were higher ( 17. 8% vs 9.74% ,P <0. 01 ;25.00% vs 14. 44% ,P <0. 01 ) and the heart ocurrence rate was higher(57. 14% vs38. 96% ,P < 0. 01 ) in one year in the observation group than that in the control group. ConclosionThe AMI patients with renal dysfunction were more likely to have concomitant diseases, worse ill condition and outcome. Renal dysfunction was an independent risk factor for the outcome in the patients with AMI.

Objective To assess the predictive value of neutrophil gelatinase associated protein lipocalin (uNGAL) in urine for detection of acute kidney injury(AKI) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Patients with severe traumatic brain injury from the ICU were collected from Jan. 2011 to May. 2013 in our hospital. 43 cases that met the RIFLE criteria for diagnosis of AKI in the ICU within 7 days were selected as AKI group. Another 43 cases that were matched for age ,gender ,illness severity , surgery method with AKI cases ,selected as non‐AKI group. The levels of uNGAL and Scr were measured when the patients admit‐ted in the ICU with 15 min ,at 24 h ,48 h ,72 h. the sensitivity and specificity of uNGAL and Scr for diagnosis for AKI were evalua‐ted by ROC curve. Results The incidence of severe traumatic brain injury AKI was 42. 16% (43/102). The uNGAL levels in the AKI group were higher when the patient stayed in the ICU longer and no obvious in the non AKI group. When admitted to the ICU 24 h ,the level of uNGAL(720. 32 ± 684. 25)ng/mL in AKI group was significantly higher than that (421. 92 ± 351. 20)ng/mL in non AKI group. The difference was statistically significant (P< 0. 05). The levels of Scr between two groups were not statistically significant. The area under ROC curve of uNGAL and Scr were 0. 879 (95% CI :0. 807 - 0. 949) and 0. 612 (95% CI :0. 493 -0. 731). When the cutoff value of uNGAL was 180 ng/mL ,the sensitivity and specificity were 0. 890 and 0. 823 respectively. The sensitivity was superior to Scr. Conclusion uNGALis superior to Scr for early diagnosis of AKI in patients with severe traumatic brain injury and it could be used as a biomarker for early diagnosis of AKI.

AIM:To construct GSK3?-overexpressed SH-SY5Y cells and to observe the effects of GSK3?-overexpression on tau protein phosphorylation and tubulin acetylation in SH-SY5Y engineered cells. METHODS: The cDNA of GSK3? construct was subcloned into mammalian expression vector pBudCE4.1. The integrity of the GSK3? construct was confirmed by sequence analysis. GSK3? was transiently transfected into SH-SY5Y cells using Lipofectamine2000. Western blotting was used to measured protein levels of GSK3? and phosphorylating GSK3?, as well as, the total tau and phosphorylated tau protein and acetylated tubulin. RESULTS: 36 h after transfection, the levels of GSK3? and phosphorylating GSK3? in SH-SY5Y cells were significantly increased compared with non-transfection group and vector group. After 48 h, the levels of phosphorylated tau protein (Ser199/202, Thr231 and Thr205 residues) but not total tau protein were markedly increased in GSK3?-overexpressed SH-SY5Y cells. In addition, the level of acetylated tubulin was lower than that in non-transfection group and vector group. CONCLUSION: The over-expression of GSK3? in SH-SY5Y cells results in robust increases in tau protein phosphorylation at Ser199/202, Thr231 and Thr205 residues, and decreases in tubulin acetylation.
