To construct a subtractive cDNA library of genes transactivated by NS5A protein of hepatitis C virus with suppression subtractive hybridization technique, the mRNA was isolated from HepG2 cells transfected with pcDNA3 1(-) NS5A and pcDNA3 1(-) empty vector, respectively, then the cDNA was synthesized. After restriction enzyme RsaI digestion, small sized cDNAs were obtained. Then the tester cDNA was divided into two groups and ligated to the specific adaptor 1 and adaptor 2, respectively. After the tester cDNA was hybridized with the driver cDNA twice and underwent two times of nested PCR, it was then subcloned into T/A plasmid vectors to set up the subtractive library. Amplification of the library was carried out with E. coli strain JM109. The cDNA was sequenced and analyzed in GenBank with Blast search after PCR. The amplified library contained 121 positive clones. Colony PCR showed that 115 clones contained 200- 1 000 bp inserts. Sequence analysis was performed in 90 clones, and the full length sequences were obtained with bioinformatics method. Altogether 46 kinds of coding sequences were acquired, which consisted of 31 kinds of known and 15 kinds of unknown ones. The obtained sequences might be target genes transactivated by NS5A protein of HCV, among which some genes coding proteins involved in cell cycle regulation, cell apoptosis, signal transduction pathway and tumour development. The results indicated that the subtractive library of genes transactivated by NS5A protein of HCV was constructed successfully, which brought some new clues for studying the biological functions and pathogenesis of the viral proteins

Objective To study the TCM syndrome distribution and the laws of blood pressure variability in patients with primary hypertension.Methods Totally 443 patients with primary hypertension were selected; four diagnostic data were collected to conduct syndrome differentiation (main syndrome was chosen for compound syndrome); 24 h ambulatory blood pressure was monitored and blood pressure variability of each syndrome was compared.Results Among 443 cases of patients, liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome (157 cases) > qi yin deficiency syndrome (83 cases) > yang deficiency syndrome (76 cases) > phlegm dampness syndrome (65 cases) > liver yang hyperactivity syndrome (62 cases). There was statistical significance in ages of different syndromes, but there was no statistical significance in gender, family history and course of disease (P>0.05). Compared with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, 24 h systolic blood pressure and 24 h mean blood pressure of phlegm dampness syndrome were significantly different (P<0.05); circadian rhythm abnormality rates of liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, liver yang hyperactivity syndrome, qi yin deficiency syndrome, phlegm dampness syndrome and yang deficiency syndrome were 80.85% (38/47), 66.67% (14/21) ,81.48% (22/27), 86.96% (20/23), and 78.79% (26/33), respectively, without statistical significance in different syndromes (χ2=3.031,P=0.553).Conclusion Among the 443 hypertensive patients, patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome were the most, and patients with liveryang hyperactivity syndrome were the least. Phlegm dampness syndrome has the highest blood pressure, while liveryang hyperactivity syndrome has the lowest blood pressure. Patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome are with the highest blood pressure variability, while patients with qi yin deficiency syndrome are with the lowest blood pressure variability.

Objective To explore the effects of losartan potassium and simvastatin combination therapy on oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis through 12 weeks observation. Methods Diabetic patients with end-stage nephropathy (n=80) who were treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis were randomly divided into two groups:control group who received routine treatment (n=40), treatment group who were given losartan potassium 50 mg, once per day and simvastatin 20 mg, once every night (n=40). HbA1C, Insulin dosage, Oxidative stress indicators(SOD, GSH-PX, MDA and Hcy)were compared between two groups before and after peritoneal dialysis. Results There was no significant difference of HbA1C between the 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). The insulin doses increased be?fore dialysis in both groups after CAPD treatment. It is lower in the treatment group than that in the control group ( P<0.05). The expression levels of GSH-PX and SOD in treatment group were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower after treatment. The expressions of GSH-PX and SOD were higher while the expressions of Hcy and MDA were lower in treat?ment group than those in control group when comparing the same time point(P<0.05). GSH-PX expression level was lower while the expressions of MDA and Hcy were higher after dialysis than those before dialysis in control group ( P<0.05). Con?clusion Losartan potassium combined with simvastatin treatment can improve curative effect and oxidative stress indicators in diabetic patients on peritoneal dialysis.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficiency of serum cystatin C as a marker of renal function to predict serum trough concentrations of vancomycin. Methods Data on trough concentrations of vancomycin(Cmea ),serum creatinine (Scr)concentrations,cystatin C( Cys C) concentrations were collected from 81 hospitalized patients who received vancomycin therapy. Predicted vancomycin trough concentrations(Cpre )were calculated based on Scr or Cys C concentrations associating with Bayesian forecasting method through NONMEM software. Finally,the correlations and distinctions between Cpre and Cmea were comparatively analyzed. Results There were both correlation between Cpre and Cmea in relation to Scr or Cys C(r = 0. 678,P<0. 01;r=0. 727,P<0. 01). Besides,the errors of mean predictive error(ME),mean absolute error(MAE)and root-mean-square error(RMSE)for Scr was - 5. 79,6. 86,9. 86 μg · mL-1 , respectively, where as the errors for Cys C was - 0. 82,5. 42, 7. 74 μg·mL-1 ,respectively. Conclusion Cystatin C is a good marker of renal function available for predicting serum vancomycin concentrations.

Objective To study the dose rate distribution on cultured cell plane and establish a reference dose rate table of in vitro cell line ~(125)I seed irradiator.Methods Thermoluminescence dosimetry(TLD) was used to measure the irradiation dose rate of a single 6711 model(~(125) I) seed with apparent activity of 10.323 MBq in water at point P.Meanwhile,the theoretic value of the irradiation dose rate at point P was calculated with theoretic formula.The difference between the calculated and observed values within 10% was set as standard to analyze the accuracy of the measurement.The irradiation dose rate of a single 6711 model(~(125) I) seed was measured in 1mm-thick polystyrene + water medium at point P.The value was applied to differential or non-differential proof along with the value from water medium to study the effect of 1 mm thick polystyrene on distribution of irradiation dose in water.Finally,by simulating the(~(125) I) seed plane irradiator with nine(~(125) I) seeds,the distribution table of irradiation dose rate on the cultured cell plane was calculated with theoretical formula.Results The observed value(n= 10) of irradiation dose rate with one(~(125) I) seed in water at point P was(0.359?0.023)cGy/h and the calculated value was 0.347cGy/h,the difference was within 10%.The observed value(n=10) of irradiation dose of one(~(125) I) seed in 1mm-thick polystyrene + water medium at point P was (0.350?0.027)cGy/h,which showed no statistical difference from the observed value in water under differential and non-differential proof.The reference table on dose rate distribution for cells exposed to(~(125) I) seed irradiation in vitro was developed.Conclusions 1mm-thick polystyrene gives no significant effect on irradiation dose rate distribution from(~(125) I) seeds in water.A reference table on the dose rate distribution for cells exposed to(~(125) I) seed irradiation in vitro has been developed,which can be used to determine an optimal irradiating strategy for future work.
