Objective To investigate the iodide uptake by U251 glioma cell lines which were transfered with both human sodium/iodide symporter (hNIS) and human thyroperoxidase (hTPO) genes. Methods Recombinant adenosine virus AdTPO was constructed through cloning, recombination, packaging and amplifying. The viral titers were calculated after purification. The protein expression of AdTPO was tested by Western-Blotting and the recombinant plasmids PcDNA3. 1/hNIS were constructed. After hNIS gene was transfected into human glioma cell lines U251 through liposome, the cell lines with stable hNIS expression (hNIS-U251) selected by G418 antibiotics were defined as hNIS-U251 group. Then, hTPO was transducted into hNIS-U251 with adenosine virus (AdTPO-hNIS-U251 group). U251 cells with no plasmid were used as the control group (U251). Cultured cells from each group were studied for 125I uptake as well as 125I efflux rate. Student-Newman-Keuls in multiple range test was used. Results AdTPO-hNIS-U2.51 with stable expression was successfully established by transfecting hNIS and hTPO genes into human glioma cell lines. The 125I uptake by AdTPO-hNIS-U251, hNIS-U251 and U251 cell lines was (74 647.53 ±3605.88), (55 769.96 ±4353.26) and ( 507.67 ± 57.69 ) counts/min, respectively ( F = 836. 17, P ＜ 0.05 ). The uptake compacity by AdTPO-hNIS-U251 was 147 fold higher than that by U251 (q =55.64, P＜0.01 ) and 1.3 fold higher that by hNIS-U251 (q = 14. 17, P ＜0.01 ). 125I efflux rate was prolonged in AdTPO-hNIS-U251 group and its effective half time was 13 min. Conclusion Enhanced 125I uptake by the human glioma cell lines can be achieved with combined transfection of hNIS and hTPO genes.

Abstract: Objective　To study the characteristics and diagnostic efficacy of Rose-Bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT), standard-tube agglutination test (SAT) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in the diagnosis of brucellosis. Methods　A total of 489 suspected brucellosis patients with complete records, who admitted to Xing'anmeng People's Hospital from March 2020 to May 2021, were selected as the subjects. The diagnostic value of SAT, RBPT and ELISA for brucellosis was analyzed with exposure history + clinical symptoms + serological test/brucellosis isolation and culture as the gold standard. Results　Of the 489 suspected patients, 183 (37.42%) were diagnosed with brucellosis, while 234 (47.85%), 148 (30.27%) and 195 (39.88%) were positive by RBPT, ELISA and SAT, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of RBPT in the diagnosis of brucellosis were 95.08%, 80.39%, 74.36%, 96.47%, and 85.89%, respectively; the values of the above parameters for ELISA were 78.69%, 98.69%, 97.30%, 88.56%, and 91.21%, respectively; those values of SAT were 98.36%, 95.10%, 92.31%, 98.98%, and 96.32%, respectively. The sensitivity of RBPT was significantly higher than ELISA, but the specificity and accuracy were significantly lower than ELISA (all P<0.05). The sensitivity and accuracy of SAT diagnosis were significantly higher than ELISA, but the specificity was significantly lower than ELISA (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference between SAT and RBPT in the sensitivity of diagnosis, but the specificity and accuracy were significantly higher than those of RBPT (P<0.05). Conclusion　RBPT and SAT have high sensitivity in diagnosis of brucellosis, while ELISA has high specificity in diagnosis. RBPT with high sensitivity and convenient operation can be used for primary screening in field detection, and then the other two methods can be used for rechecking, so as to further improve the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis of brucellosis.

In temporomandibular disorders (TMD), pain takes place when neuropeptides stimulate synovial tissue to produce several cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, which activate neurons and glia of synovial membrane at the bilaminar regions of temporomandibular joint (TMJ). It has been reported that, after neurogenic differentiation, the synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs), deriving from TMJ, possess the same cytological features as the neuronal cells. This study examined the ability of substance P (SP) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) to stimulate SMSCs and neurogenic SMSCs secreting inflammatory cytokines during TMD, evaluated the mutual effects of inflammatory cytokines and neuropeptides and tested the analgesic effect of hyaluronic acid (HA). The levels of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in SMSCs and neurogenic SMSCs in the presence of neuropeptides were measured by ELISA. SP and CGRP produced by SMSCs and neurogenic SMSCs were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The results showed that the expression of SP and CGRP was significantly enhanced in the neurogenic SMSCs in response to IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, and the effect was remarkably inhibited by HA. IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α, in return, could be enhanced in the neurogenic SMSCs upon stimulation by SP and CGRP. Neuropeptides and inflammatory cytokines might work mutually on the TMD pain. The HA-mediated analgesic effect may be implicated in the inhibition of SP and CGRP expression in neurogenic SMSCs.
