AIM To select specific ouabain conjugated peptides (OCP) to decline ouabain level. METHODS Biopanning phage displayed 12 peptide library for OCP. The sequences of each selected peptide was determined and analyzed. The binding activity of synthetical OCP was identified by radioligand binding assay (RRA). RESULTS Three kinds of peptides were found out. Peptide A (12 peptide) was occupied in 0 67(8/12). The analysis of protein showed that there was no homogeneous protein in Genebank. The results of RRA showed that there were binding activity between synthetical OCP and 3H ouabain. Dissociation constant(K d) was 1 087 nmol?L -1 . Receptor density was 120 pmol?g -1 protein. IC 50 =1 46?10 -4 mol?L -1 . CONCLUSION It is important to obtain distinctive OCP, by which not only the protein sequence was analyzed, but also a valuable experimental data in detection of ouabain and therapy in hypertension also was offered.

AIM: The purpose of the study was to investigate the gene and amino acid sequence of specific ouabain conjugated peptides (OCP) in order to get an experimental bases to block or antagonist the actions between endogenous ouabain(EO) and sodium pump in hypertension. METHODS: Screening the phage displayed 12-peptide library by biopaning for OCP. The sequence of each selected peptide was determined and the sequence was analyzed through internet. The bioactivity was determined by erythrocyte [ 86 Rb] uptaking. RESULTS: Three kinds of peptides were screened out. Peptide A (12 peptide) was occupied in 66 7%(8/12), peptide B (8 peptide) 16 7% (2/12) and peptide C (12 peptide) 8 3% (1/12). There was only one case without insertron. The analysis of protein showed that there were no homogenous between peptide A, B, C and sodium pump. The amino acid sequence of specific OCP was Leu-Leu-Ala-Asp-Thr-Thr-His-His-Arg -Pro-Trp-Thr. CONCLUSIONS: Determination of the sequence of OCP supplies an important experimental foundation for ouabain research. The results also show that phage display peptide library is an effective, simple and efficient method to select specific steroid receptors. [

Soldiers are a group whose mental level are significantly low when special tasks in military exercises and actual combat training and other military stress. And one of main reasons caused in combat effectiveness reducing or potential non-combat loss is psychological and physiological and pathological damage which caused by military stress. This article reviewed the research about psychological stress reaction under military stress in the past years.

BACKGROUND:Acute myeloid leukemia after liver transplantation is a rare complication with high mortality. OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical features of acute myeloid leukemia after liver transplantation. METHODS:One case of acute promyelocytic leukemia after liver transplantation was reported, and literatures were reviewed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Case presentation was post-odontectomy bleeding with associative abnormal coagulation test at 85 months after liver transplantation. Routine blood test, bone marrow test and chromosome analysis and examination diagnosed as acute promyelocytic leukemia and promyelocytic leukemia/RARαpositive chimeric gene, and clearly diagnosed as acute promyelocytic leukemia combined with disseminated intravascular coagulation. The patient received fresh frozen plasma transfusion to correct the abnormal coagulation, and then received induction chemotherapy with retinoic acid, arsenic trioxide and daunorubicin to obtain bone marrow complete remission. The patient was treated with daunorubicin combined with cytarabine and mitoxantrone combined with cytarabine regimens after remission induction to consolidate the chemotherapy for two courses of treatment, and then subsequently subjected to arsenous acid chemotherapy, and the bone marrow was sustained for remission. During chemotherapy, the dose and type of immunosuppressive agents were adjusted, and the patient had stable liver function without serious infection or complications. The results indicate that acute myeloid leukemia is common and often occurs after liver transplantation. When the patient displays hematological abnormality, acute promyelocytic leukemia should be considered. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce the mortality.

Objective To explore imaging features of Zinner syndrome.Methods Eight male patients with clinically diagnosed Zinner syndrome performed abdominal and pelvic CT and /or MRI scan.The radiological data was studied retrospectively.Results Eight cases showed seminal vesicle cyst with ipsilateral renal agenesis on CT and/or MR imaging ( left side, n =5; right side, n =3).The maximal diameter of seminal vesicle cysts varied from 4.2 to 7.0 cm, and appeared as oval cystic lesion with irregular contour or tube-like dilatation , which appeared low density on CT image and hypo-or hyperintensity on T 1 WI and hyperintensity on T 2 WI.Bladder compression was found in 6 cases.Fuild-fuild level in the cysts was seen in 2 cases.Remnants of ureter structure were seen in only 1 case.There was no other accompanying abnormality of urinary system.Conclusions Zinner syndrome presents with characteristic imaging features , and the key issue is differential diagnosis of seminal vesicle cysts.

Objective To identify the possible existing suppressive oligodeoxynucleotides(ODNs)in the DNA sequence which encodes Schistosoma japonicum 22.6 kDa(Sj22.6)antigen.Methods Several ODNs within the DNA sequence encoding Sj22.6 antigen were synthesized.Splenocytes separated from mice were stimulated with optimal immunostimulatory CpG 1826 in the absence or presence of different synthetical ODNs.The suppressive efficacy of each ODN was examined by 3H-TdR incorporation.Results ODN F311 suppressed the proliferation of splenocytes caused by CpG 1826 stimulation.The significant suppression was observed when ODN F311∶CpG 1826 at a ratio of 1∶1 and 3∶1,the suppression reached 11% and 58% respectively.The maximal inhibition was observed when ODN F311 was pre-administered with CpG ODN for 2 h.Conclusions Certain suppressive ODN exists in the DNA sequence encoding Sj22.6 antigen,and this effect shows dose-and time-dependent manner.

Objective To explore expression of endogenous ouabain(EO) in multiple adrenal tumors.Methods Thirty-one cases of adrenal tumors and 6 cases of healthy adrenal tissues were selected. The expression of EO in the adrenal tiss ue was detected with immunohistochemical streptavidin peroxadase conjugated(SP) method.Results Most of EO positive products were localized in cy toplasm of the zona reticularis of human adrenal cortex, and positive products s howed to be fine granular. There was no positive signal in the medulla. EO showe d on diffused positive in patients with pheochromocytoma accompanied high blood pressure[SBP:(165.22±7.61) mmHg, DBP:(105.52±4.26) mmHg], but there were neg ative in ones with normative blood pressure[SBP:(118.52±4.58) mmHg, DBP:(83±3.60) m mHg]. The expression of EO was positive in all adrenocortical hyperplasic, aden oma an d carcinoma, no matter its high or normative blood pressure. The degree of expre ssion of EO in adrenal tissues was related to the level of BP.Conclusion Expression of endogenous ouabain(EO) in health y adrenal tissue and adrenal tumors was a valuable morphological and pathophysio logical clue for the research on ouabain.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of Pain Vision method for assessment of labor pain.Methods Eighty-nine nulliparous parturients who were at full term and at the latent period of the first stage of labor,aged 19-31 yr,weighing 55-85 kg,were enrolled in this study.The degree of labor pain was assessed using Pain Vision method and VAS.Pain degree is calculated from two parameters,current perception threshold and pain compatible electrical current by using a somatosensory evoked potential stimulator.The former parameter was defined by the lowest electrical current detected; the latter parameter defined by the electrical current judged as being compatible with the intensity of ongoing pain.Linear correlation of VAS scores with pain degree was analyzed.Results There was no correlation between pain degree and VAS scores,and the correlation coefficient was 0.206 (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Pain Vision method can not be applied for objective assessment of labor pain.
