Objective To explore the effect of purification on monoclonal antibody (MAb) against PGRP by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography, and to provide some based data for the purification of other antibody using the same method. Methods The ascites which include MAb was purified by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purity and activity of MAb was tested by SDS-PAGE and ELISA. The biological function was identified by flow cytometer and immunohistochemistry. Results The average concentration of protein in ascites before purification is 23.62 mg/ml. Before and after purification, the total protein is 148.79 mg and 146.67 mg, respectively. The recovery coefficient of protein is 98.58%. The concentration of MAb in ascites is 5.21 mg/ml averagely. The MAb purity is more than 95 %. The immunoactivity of purified antibody is higher than that of unpurified antibody. Conclusion The purity of MAb against PGRP purified by Protein A-Sepharose affinity chromatography is very high. The immunoactivity of purified antibody is higher than that of unpurified antibody. So the ProteinA-Sepharose affinity chromatography is a rapid, convenient and reliable method for the purification of MAb Against PGRP.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and analyze the molecular genetics of a pedigree of limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD).Methods Pedigree analysis and clinical examination were performed in one four-generation family with LGMD.Electrophysiology and muscle biopsy were done in the affected members.With an informed consent, gene mutation, genome screening and linkage analysis were conducted in 26 members of this pedigree.Results Seven patients were identified.Pedigree analysis was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance.Affected members had early presentation.Main features included proximal muscle weakness without dysarthria nor spasticity; electrophysiology and muscle biopsy revealed myopathic changes.LGMD1 A, 1B, 1C and facioscapulohumeral dystrophy genes were not detected by gene mutation analysis.Genome screening and linkage analysis did not reveal any linkage with the disease-causing gene and the reported loci of LGMD1D and LGMD1F genes.Conclusions The clinical manifestations of this LGMD family are highly heterogeneous, and the disease-causing gene of this family is not linked to any of the reported sites, suggesting this may be a new disease-causing locus, or a new genetic type of LGMD.

Objective To investigate the effect of the extracts of Centella asiatica(L.) Urban (ECA) on the depressive-like behavior alteration in rats and mice. Method 60 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (10 rats each), the normal group, model group, Fluoxetine group, ECA high dose group (component 10.08 mg+component 24.48 mg/kg), ECA middle dose group (component 1 0.04 mg+component 2 2.24 mg/kg) and ECA low dose group component 1 0.02 mg+component 2 1.12 mg/kg. Chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) induced depression in rats and sugar consumption to detect the antidepressant effect of ECU. 60 Kunming mice were randomly divided into six groups as above. Locomotor activity, forced swim, tail suspension test were used to detect the effect of ECA on the behavioral alteration in mice. Results Compared with model group, sugar consumption in ECA groups was significant increased (P<0.01). ECA treatments also decreased duration of immobility in the tail suspension test and forced swim. Conclusion ECA could improve the depressive-like behavior in rats and mice.

Objective To explore the optimal method of treatment for radiation proctitis by keeping coloclysis with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including administation temperature, infusion time, dosage and catheter depth. Methods The orthogonal experimental design was adopted. Sixty-three patients with radiation proctitis were randomly divided into 9 groups, and they were under enema for 6 weeks according to different test conditions. TCM syndrome score, radiation injury effect and Karnofsky scores were set as evaluation indexes. An orthogonal design and analysis of variance were conducted for optimization. The best technical schemes for traditional Chinese herb in treating radiation proctitis were obtained. Results The obtained optimum methods are:drug temperature of (39±0.5)℃, infusion time of 30 minutes, dosage of 100 mL, catheter depth of 20 cm. Conclusion The optimal scheme of enema for the treatment of radiation proctitis is reasonable and feasible.

Objective To explore the value of 64-slice CT coronary artery angiography in detecting anomalous origin of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) in infants. Methods Ten children aged from 5 months to 2 years and weighed from 5.5 to 10.0 kilograms with surgical confirmed ALCAPA were underwent contrast-enhanced retrospective ECG-gated 64-slice CT, and the data were retrospectively analyezd. Scanning were performed with 80 kV tube voltage, 150 mA tube current, 0.35 s rotation time, 0.625 mm slice thickness and 0.2 pitch. Results The heart rate ranged from 110 to 150 beats per minute. All images were good enough for diagnosis. The radiation dose was 1.11-1.62 mSv. The left coronary arteries were found to originate from the posterior-right sinuse in 4 patients, from posterior-left sinuse in 4 parients, from posterior-right wall and inferior wall above the pulmonary sinuses in 1 patient, respectively. Conclusion The 64-slice CT coronary artery angiography can reveal the location of the ectopic ostium and the course of left coronary artery in ALCAPA infants with low radiation dose.

Objective To investigate the clinical presentation,laboratory features,imaging findings and CYP27A1 gene mutations of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) for improving the recognition and the early diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods Medical records and 8 months follow-up data of one patient who had been clinical diagnosed as CTX were collected and the pedigree and gene mutation analysis of the patient were carried out.Meanwhile,the clinical characters of CTX were analyzed according to the data from our patient and the review of the literature. Results Patient was a 36 years old male manifested with mental retardation, bilateral corticospinal tract and corticonuclear tract impairment,cerebellar lesions and peripheral neuropathy; head MRI indicated symmetric abnormal signals of bilateral basal ganglia,cerebellar dentate nucleus softening and calcification lesions; Achilles tendon MRI indicated markedly thickened Achilles tendon; gene mutation analysis showed sterol-27-hydroxylase gene( CPY27A1 )C→T homozygous mutation in 1016 nucleotide of exon 5.Ursodesoxycholic acid was given as treatment.In 8 months of follow up,for the first 6 months,the patient took medicine regularly and the illness condition was stable.But for the nearly 2 months,the patient voluntarily stopped medicine and the illness condition was worse.Conclusions CPY27A1 gene C→T homozygous mutation in 1016 nucleotide of exon 5 leads to CTX in the patient, which conforms to the characteristic of autosomal recessive disorder. CTX has some characteristic clinical manifestations,such as Achilles tendon thickening,intelligent declining and so on.But lack of specificity of early radiographic examination makes CTX easy to be delayed diagnosis and treatment.CYP27A1 gene mutation analysis has an important significance for early diagnosis of CTX,which should be paid more attention,while the early application of chenodeoxycholicacid treatment can delay the progression of the disease.

Objective To evaluate the value of MRI in the diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease.Methods Twenty-one patients with complex congenital heart disease,who had undergone MRI examination were enrolled in this research.The MRI data of every patient was analyzed and abnormalities of anatomy was counted by two experienced cardiovascular radiologist.Surgical diagnosis (17 cases) or consistent diagnosis (4 cases) of ultrasonic,cardiac catheter and cardiac CT was regarded as reference standards.Accuracy and misdiagnosis rate were obtained.Results Twenty-one patients had 63 main abnormalities,61 malformations was found by MRI examination,the diagnostic accuracy was 96.8%,and the misdiagnosis rate was 4.8% (1 atrial septal defect (ASD) and 1 major aorta pulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAS) were missed,1 arterialduct stump was misdiagnosed as patent ductus arteriosus (PDA).Conclusion MRI has excellent diagnosticaccuracy on complex congenital heart disease,it is another good noninvasive cardiac examination method beside ultrasonic.
