A total number of 2221sera collected from different kinds of subjects , i.e.patients with various stages of schistosomiasis. normal individuals, persons with other parasitic diseases or non-parasitic diseases, were detected with Dot Immunogold Filtration Assay (DIGFA) using anti-SVLBP IgG as capturig antibody. Positive rate of 70 sera from patients with acute schistosomiasis was 100%, and that of 307 sera with chronic schistosomiasis was 68.4% .None of 200 sera from normal individuals showed false positive reaction. No obvious cross reaction was found in sera from other parasitic/non-parasitic diseases except sera from patients with paragonimiasis.2 batches of sera were detected with DIGFA by single-blindness method. Results showed that sensitivities to chronic schistosomiasis were 69.4% and 68.9%, and 100% to acute schistosomiasis while specificities were 98.9%-99% .508 samples from residents in endemic areas were tested with DIGFA and Kato-Katz. Positive rate of circulating arrtigen was 20.9% with DIGFA while 65 samples were positive with stool examination.46 samples were positive both by DIGFA and by Kato-katz.The coincidental rate was 70.8% .These results indicated that DIGFA showed sensitive and specific in the detection of circulating antigen. It will be useful in mass application and vahuable in epidemiological stuvey.

A rapid, sensitive and simple liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of yogliptin and its metabolite in Wistar rat plasma. Linagliptin and dexamethasone were chosen as the internal standards of yogliptin and its metabolite, (R)-8-(3-hydroxypiperidine- -yl)-7-(but-2-yn-1-yl)-1-((5-fluorobenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)methyl)-3-methyl- H-purine-2, 6 (3H, 7H)-dione, respectively. After a simple protein precipitation using acetonitrile as the precipitating solvent, both analytes and ISs were separated on a Grace Altima HP C18 column (2.1 mm x 50 mm, 5 microm) with gradient elution using methanol (containing 0.1% formic acid, 4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate)-0.1% formic acid (containing 4 mmol x L(-1) ammonium acetate) as the mobile phase. A chromatographic total run time of 4.4 min was achieved. Mass spectrometric detection was conducted with electrospray ionization under positive-ion and multiple-reaction monitoring modes. Linear calibration curves for yogliptin and its metabolite were over the concentration range of 0.5 to 500 ng x mL(-1) with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5 ng x mL(-1). The intra- and inter- assay precisions were all below 14%, the accuracies were all in standard ranges. The method was used to determine the concentration of yogliptin and M1 in Wistar rat plasma after a single oral administration of yogliptin (27 mg x kg(-1)). The method was proved to be selective, sensitive and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of yogliptin and M1 in Wistar rat plasma.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-152 in hepatocellular carcinoma, and analyze the correlation of miR-152 expression with the clinicopathological characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) patients. Methods Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-152 in tissue specimens from HCC and the adjacent non-cancerous hepatic tissues collected from 56 patients who underwent surgical treatment for primary HCC. The association between the expression of miR-152 and the clinical pathological characteristics and prognosis of HCC patients was analyzed. Results The relative expression of miR-152 in hepatocellular carcinoma and corresponding adjacent non-carcinoma tissues were 0.616±0.041 and 0.768±0.042 (

Objective:To observe the G protein-coupled receptor 48 (GPCR48) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines with different metastatic potential and its characteristics effect on the invasion and metastasis of Huh7 hepatoma cells via epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).Methods:Western blot was used to detect the protein expression level of GPCR48 in HCC cells with different metastatic potential. The lentivirus vector expressing GPCR48 gene was constructed. GPCR48 was overexpressed in Huh7 hepatoma cells. The GPCR48 overexpression level was detected by real-time PCR and Western blot. Transwell invasion and migration assay was used to detect the Huh7 hepatoma cells invasion and migration ability in the Control, Mock and GPCR48 overexpression group. Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to detect Huh7 hepatoma cells mRNA and protein expression levels of the EMT related markers (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, vimentin, and γ catenin) in the Control, Mock and GPCR48 overexpression groups, respectively. Analysis of variance was used to compare the differences between data sets.Results:GPCR48 protein expression level in metastatic HCC cell lines was significantly higher than non-metastatic HCC cell lines ( P < 0.05). The lentivirus vector expressing the GPCR48 gene had effectively transfected the Huh7 hepatoma cells and stably expressed the GPCR48mRNA and protein. Compared with the Mock and the Control group, Huh7 hepatoma cells invasion and migration ability in the GPCR48 overexpression group was significantly enhanced ( F≥5.54, P < 0.05), and the mRNA and protein expression levels of epithelial phenotypic markers E-cadherin and γ-catenin were decreased ( P < 0.05). The mRNA and protein expression levels of the mesenchymal phenotypic markers N-cadherin and Vimentin were increased ( P < 0.05), indicating that EMT changes occurred in Huh7 hepatoma cells had overexpressed GPCR48. Conclusion:GPCR48 expression level is positively correlated with the metastatic potential of HCC cells. GPCR48 overexpression can down-regulate the expression of epithelial phenotypic markers and up-regulate the expression of mesenchymal phenotypic markers, and induce EMT changes in HCC cells, thus promoting HCC cells invasion and migration.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of untreated 16-25 years old people living with HIV-1 (PLWH) in Dehong on the China-Myanmar border during 2009 to 2017, by using molecular network method and to provide references for precise prevention and reduction of the spread of HIV-1 in Dehong.Methods:Screening people living with HIV-1, collecting blood sample and separating plasma, extracting RNA were performed to amplify HIV-1 pol sequence, construct molecular network by HIV-TRACE program and conduct statistical analysis. Results:Among the 573 infected persons in the group, 319 were Chinese (55.67%), 254 were Burmese (44.33%); 351 were males (61%), and 222 were females (39%); 404 had heterosexual transmission (HET, 70.51%), 110 people injected drugs (PWID, 19.20%), 51 men had sex with men (MSM, 8.9%); genotypes included 252 unique recombinant forms (43.98%), and 222 had circular recombinant forms (39.02%), 76 had HIV-1 C (13.26%) and 23 HIV-1 B (4.01%) infection. The 83 molecular networks constructed through HIV-TRACE involved 250 PLWH, 49% were the China-Myanmar mixed network (41/83). Myanmar citizens were at high risk of accessing the China-Myanmar mixed network ( AOR=2.676, p=0.002). Chinese male PWID network assortativity is 0.34, Myanmar male PWID was 0.14, MSM was 0.12. Conclusions:There is a continuous risk of cross-border transmission of HIV-1 in Dehong on the China-Myanmar border; attention should be paid to the mixed transmission of MSM and Myanmar male PWID populations with other transmission routes.
