Objective To construct a phage antibody Fab library of human antinuclear antibody. Methods Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 4 patients suffering from autoallergic disease, with antinuclear IgG antibody titers in the serum higher than 1∶10 000 as estimated by indirect immunofluorescence technique. Taking oligo-dT as the primers, human immunoglobulin light chains ?/? genes as well as heavy chains Fd genes were reversely transcribed to cDNA by PCR. The ?/? light chains were initially cloned into pComb3Hss vector to construct a human recombinant light chain library, and the heavy chain genes were subsequently inserted into the corresponding sites of ?/?-pComb3Hss plasmid to generate a recombinant ?/?-Fd-pComb3Hss plasmid. The plasmid was then transformed into E. coli XL1-Blue, which was subsequently infected by the helper phage M13KO7. A random recombinant antibody library was expressed on the surface of filamentous phage. Results Human immunoglobulin ?/? light chain and heavy chain Fd genes (660bp) were amplified successfully. The light chain library with the capacity size of 2?104, and the human recombinant Fab antibody library with the capacity size of 4?104 were also successfully obtained. Finally, the phage antibody library of the Fab fragment of human antinuclear antibody, containing 2?109 CFU/ml phage, was constructed. Conclusion A phage antibody library of Fab fragment of human antinuclear antibody is constructed successfully. This research lays a foundation for the preparation for phage library of Fab fragment of human antinuclear antibody, and also paves the way for the advanced assessment for its effect on the immuno-targeting therapy of tumors.

Objective To explore the clinical features and possible carcinogenesis mechanism of the ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colorectal cancer. Methods From 1984 to 2008, 6 clinical cases of UC-associated colorectal cancer were collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The characters of morbidity, clinical features, pathology type, treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Immunohistochemistry(IHC) was performed to study the protein expression of adenomatous polyposis coli protein(APC), β-catenin, P53 and Wnt-1 in the specimens. Results The canceration of UC was 1.1 %, higher in female cases (5/6), the average duration was 14.3 years. All cases presented typical UC manifestation, most involved total colon (5/6) and none of them complicated with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). There were 4 rectal cancers and 2 descending colon caners the UC cases collected. The major pathology type was adenocarcinoma with poor prognosis. The positive protein expression ratio of APC, β-catenin, P53 and Wnt-1 were 6/6, 6/6, 5/6 and 6/6 respectively.Conclusion The rectal cancer should be monitored and prevented in UC patients with total colon involved and long disease duration. Multi-pathway may possibly be involved in the carcinogenesis.

AIM To study the electrochemical behavior of ofloxacin at Pt/GC ion implantation modified electrode. METHODS With Pt/GC ion implantation modified electrode as working electrode, the behavior of ofloxacin was studied by voltammetry in 0.40 mol*L-1 KCl solution. RESULTS A sensitive reductive peak of ofloxacin was obtained by linear sweep voltammetry. The peak potential was -1.35 V (vs SCE). The peak current was proportional to the concentration of ofloxacin over the range of 1.0×10-6-3.0×10-5 mol*L-1 with the detection limit of 5.0×10-7 mol*L-1. The behavior of reduction wave was studied and applied to determination of ofloxacin in tablets. CONCLUSION The reduction process was irreversible. The element composition, atomicity form and depth of distribution at the surface of Pt/GC electrode were determined by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scannig electron microscope (SEM). The catalysis behavior and reaction mechanism at Pt/GC modified electrode was also studied.
