ObjectiveTo establish the mathematical model of transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) and total serum bilirubin (TSB) after phototherapy in neonates.MethodsNeonates with pathological jaundice were enrolled from October 2013 to June 2014. The neonates were divided into three groups by gestational age: full-term neonates (gestation age of 37-42 weeks), late preterm neonates (gestation age of 34-36+6 weeks), early and mid-preterm neonates (gestation age of 28-33+6 weeks). The neonates received single or double sided phototherapy. During the phototherapy, the forehead and chest were covered by opaque material. The TcB was measured at forehead, mid sternum, perineum area three times each before and after phototherapy. Mean-while the TSB was tested.Results Two hundred and sixty-one neonates with hyperbilirubinemia were enrolled, among whom there were 169 full-term neonates, 63 late preterm neonates and 29 early and mid-preterm neonates. Before phototherapy, there were signiifcantly correlation of TSB with TcB on forehead, mid sternum and perineum (r=0.813, 0.827, 0.754;P<0.001) and the best correlation was with TcB on mid sternum. The linear regression equation was TSB=1.35TcB-5.50. After phototherapy, there were signiifcantly correlateion of TSB with TcB on forehead, mid sternum, and perineum (r=0.751, 0.807, 0.683;P<0.001) and the best correlation was with TcB on mid sternum. The linear regression equation was TSB=1.01×TcB-0.62. Among three groups, the full-term neonates had the best correlation.ConclusionsAfter phototherapy, the TcB measured on mid sternum which was covered by opaque material is well correlated with TSB. The linear regression model can be established.

BACKGROUND:Al oying is a convenient and effective method to alter the microstructure and control the corrosion behavior of magnesium al oy.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the in vitro and in vivo degradation of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy as a degradable medical biomaterial.
METHODS:(1) In vitro static immersion test:The immersion tests were carried out at (37.0±0.5) thermostatic bath. Six Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy samples and six pure magnesium samples were immersed in the 250 mL simulated body fluid and vibrated without agitation during immersion. After 3, 7 and 30 days static immersion, the samples were taken out from the simulated body fluid. Then the in vitro corrosion properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis. (2) In vivo animal experiment:After bone tunnel was established in the left femur of adult New Zealand rabbits, the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy rods were embedded in the Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy group, titanium al oy rods were embedded in the titanium al oy group, and only bone tunnel was established in the sham-operated group. At 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after implantation, an X-ray of the implanted region was taken to determine the location and the degradation behavior℃in a of Mg-Nd-Zn-Zr al oy. At 4, 8 weeks after implantation, the corrosion product and its element composition were observed using scanning electron microscope with an energy dispersive spectroscopy system.

Objective To investigate the inhibitive effect of shRNA (short hairpin RNA) targeting APRIL gene on the pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and in vivo, in order to explore the feasibility of gene therapy for pancreatic cancer. Methods The LV-shAPRIL targeting APRIL gene had been constructed before, and was used to infect the CFPAC-1 cells. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were examined by MTT and flow cytometry. Then CFPAC-1 cells were used to construct the model of transplantation tumor into the nude mice, the tumor growth was assessed after LV-shAPRIL treatment. Results 96 hours after the LV-shAPRIL infection into CFPAC-1 cells, the cell proliferation was significantly inhibited when compared with control group and lentivirus infection group (P<0.05 ). Flow cytometry showed the apoptosis ratio of the CFPAC-1 cells was (17.35±0.96)% in LV-shAPRIL group, which was higher than that in control group and lentivirus infection group (P<0.05 ). After LV-shAPRIL injection into the model of nude mice, the tumor growth was slower than that in the two control groups. The tumor's volume of the LV-shAPRIL group was(821.8±123.3) mm3 and the mass was (2.16±0.18)g at 27 day, and were obviously depressed, when compared with two control groups (P±0.05). Conclusions LV-shAPRIL targeting APRIL gene can inhibit the growth of the CFPAC-1 cells in vitro and vivo. This may provide a new gene therapy approach for pancreatic cancer.

Objective To construct of shRNA lentiviral expression vector targeting APRIL (aproliferation-inducing ligand) gene in CFPAC-1 cell of human pancreatic cancer. Methods We used gene engineering to screen RNA interference targeting sequence of APRIL gene. The complementary DNA containing both sense and antisense Oligo DNA of the targeting sequence was designed, synthesized and cloned into the pGCL-GFP vector. The resulting lentiviral vector containing shAPRIL were named LV-shAPRIL. Then it was conformed by PCR and DNA sequencing identification. 293T cells were eotransfected with LV-shAPRIL,pHelper 1.0 and pHelper 2.0 to product ientivirus. The titer of virus was tested according to the expression level of GFP in the 293T cells. After recombinant lentivirus infection into CFPAC-1 cells, we used real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting to examine APRIL mRNA and protein expression at different cell culture period.Results PCR analysis and DNA sequencing conformed that shAPRIL DNA was successfully inserted into the lentiviral vector. The titer of concentrated virus were 5 × 107 TU/ml. APRIL expression in CFPAC-1 cells were inhibited significantly at both mRNA and protein level. APRIL mRNA expression were decreased 73%, 70%and 71% , respectively, after the infection of 4 days, 4 weeks and 8 weeks by LV-shAPRIL. APRIL protein expression were decreased 66%, 63% and 62%, respectively , after the infection of 4 days , 4 weeks and 8weeks by LV-shAPRIL. Conclusions ShRNA lentiviral expression vector targeting APRIL gene has been successully constructed, and it can effectively inhibit the expression of APRIL gene in CFPAC-1 ceils. This study lays a foundatin for in vivo research APRIL gene scilence in pancreatic cancer cell using the model of nude mice.
