0.05;AGC R 1 to R 2 P 0.05.The invasive depth of the lesion corresponded to the degree of lymph node metastases.No relation was found between tumor size and the survival rate.The prognosis of type Ⅲ EGC and AGC with infiltration was poor.Conclusions: Biological behavior of gastric cancer can be used as a guide to operation type.We proposed that EGC should undergo subtotal gastrectomy plus R 1 or selective R 2 ,and AGC should undergo subtotal gastrectomy or near total gastrectomy plus R 2 or selective R 3 ,with a margin of at least 5 cm from the tumor.

The effect of the trace elements on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) were studied. Thirty preterm infants who had potential high risk factors of ROP were selected as observation group and 18 normal infants as control groups. By using atom spectrophotometer, the contents of serum trace elements (Mg, Cu, Zn, Mn, Se) were measured and analyzed statistically. The contents of serum Zn, Cu and Se in observation group were 0.75+/-0.22, 0.41+/-0.20 and (134.07+/-71.57)x10(-3) mg/L respectively, and 0.55+/-0.12, 0.65+/-0.194 and (202.92+/-44.71)x10(-3) mg/L in control group respectively (P<0.01). The contents of Cu and Se were obviously lower and that of Zn higher in observation group than those in control group. The same results were obtained between the infants with ROP and controls (P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the contents of serum Mg and Mn between two groups (P>0.05). It was concluded that the contents of serum Cu and Se in preterm infants who had high risk factors of ROP were obviously lower than in the controls. The contents of serum Cu and Se in the ROP infants were also much lower while contents of Zn much higher. Attention should be paid to the detection of the trace elements in preterm infants in order to prevent the deficiencies of Cu and Se. Only in this way can we prevent the deficiencies of Cu and Se, so as to decrease the ROP risk factors and prevent the disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of propofol on LPS-induced TLR4 expression in rat alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells. Methods The primarily cultured alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells isolated from male rats were randomly assigned to one of 5 groups: group Ⅰ cells were incubated for 3 h without any additive (control) ; group Ⅱ cells were incubated with LPS 1 μg/ml for 3 h (LPS) ; group Ⅲ , Ⅳ , Ⅴ cells were incubated with LPS 1 μg/ml + propofol 25, 50 and 100 μmol/L respectively for 3 b (P1-3). TLR4 mRNA and TLR4 protein expression was detected by real time PCR and Western blot. TNF-α release amount was measured using ELISA. Results LPS significantly' increased TLR4 mRNA and protein expression in alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial cells as well as TNF-α release amount. Propefol at 50 and 100 μmol/L significantly inhibited LPS-imluced increase in TLR4 mRNA and protein expression and TNF-α release amount. Conclusion Propofol can dose-dependently inhibit LPS-induced inflammation in alveolar type Ⅱ epithelial ceils, through down-regnlation of TLR4 gene and protein expression.

Objective To construct cDNA entry library and cDNA expression library of Armillifer agkistrodontis (A.) nymphs and make a preliminary immunoscreening for the cDNA expression library.Methods The nymphs were collected from the Kunming mice infected experimentally with A.agkistrodontis eggs and the total RNA were extracted from the nymphs using TRIzol Reagent.After purifying the mRNA,the synthesized cDNAs were cloned into the donor vector pDONR222 by BP reaction of Gateway technology and the recombinants were transformed into the DH10B cells by electroporation,the cDNA entry library was obtained.Next,the expression vector pDEST17 was ligated with entry clones by LR reaction,and the recombinants were transformed into the BL21 (DE3) cells.Hence,the cDNA expression library was constructed.Then,the expression library was immunoscreened with the mixed sera of mice infected with A.agkistrodontis,and the insertions of positive clones were sequenced.After that,the open reading frame(ORF) of positive slone sequence,the homology of the screened genes and their encoded proteins were analyzed by Finder and BLAST (basic local alignment search tool) program of National Center of Biotechnology Information(NCBI),and the discovered new genes were submitted into the GenBank.Besides,the physico-chemical properties,secondary structure and B cell epitopes of encoded proteins were also analyzed by bioinformatics software.Results The average titer and total clones of the cDNA entry library were 1.45 × 105 CFU/ml(colony-forming unit,CFU) and 1.74 × 106 CFU,respectively,and the range of fragment length of the inserted cDNA was between 0.2-4.0 kb,with an average of 1.4 kb.The total clones of cDNA expression library were 1.00 × 105 CFU,and the fragment length of the inserted cDNA was between 0.3-2.2 kb,with an average of 1.0 kb.Five positive clones,coded S1,S5,A1,D1 and F1,respectively,were obtained through preliminary immunoscreening.The sequence and homology of the five positive clones were sequenced and analyzed by BLAST program.No significant similarities were found in pentastomida species,which meant that they were all novel genes of A.agkistrodontis.The gene sequences were submitted to GenBank,with the accession number from JQ180451 to JQ180455.Also,results obtained by bioinformatics software showed that the predictive encoding proteins were all potential to be valuable recombinant diagnostic antigens.Conclusions The cDNA library of A.agkistrodontis nymphs is successfully constructed,and five new genes of A.agkistrodontis are discovered.The establishment of cDNA library and the discovery of the new genes will lay a foundation for further studying the gene functions and screening the immunodiagnostic antigens.

To improve the expression level of non fusion hbFGF in E coli , the coding sequence of human bFGF gene, which had been cloned from primarily cultured human fibroblast, was mutated according to the principle of lowering the GC content and increasing the codon preference After being ligated into pET 3c and transformed into BL21(DE3), the recombinant induced by IPTG Expression level was up to 30% of the total bacterial protein The result indicated that optimizing of the TIR would promote the expression level of recombinant protein

The solid-phase method to synthesis HCV polypetides was used.The connecting rate and the polypeptides' productivity and purity were compared when Wang resin and 2-chlorotrity choloride resin acting as vectors.By the identification of mass spectrum,the products' molecular weight was analysed.By ninhydrin method we compared to the connecting rate between two resins and amino acid.By RP-HPLC we carried out the analysis and purity of hetero peptides.The result showed the first amino acid's connecting rate along with the purity and productivity which we need when 2-chlorotrityl choloride resin acted as vector was notably higher than those when Wang resin acted as vector.So 2-chlorotrityl choloride as vector is used to synthesize HCV polypeptides,which adapts to the demand of big scale's industrialization production.
