Objective To clone a stage-specific novel cDNA from 5 day-old adult worm (ADS) of Trichinella spiralis. Methods The cDNA library of AD5 was screened by an AD5 stage-specific cDNA probe labeled with digoxigenin (DIG). The positive clones were sequenced and analysed. Results The positive clone contained a cDNA insert of 1 132 bp in length with a full length open reading frame (ORF) of 1 032 bp. The cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 343 amino acid residues(aa) with a molecular weight of 35.1 kDa and an isoelectric point (IP) of 4.8. InterProScan analysis showed that the 117 - 120 aa (SGYG) was a glycosaminoglycan attachment site, 27- 86 aa was nematode cuticle collagen N-terminal domain and 153-228 aa was collagen repeat (G-x-y) domain. Signal PV2.0 analysis indicated that the region of 1-43 aa was a singal peptide. Blastn homology analysis in Genbank revealed that the cDNA had no obvious homology to any other known gene sequence. Blastp analysis revealed high homology to cuticle collagen with identities more than 40 % . Conclusion A novel ADS stage-specific cDNA encoding a full length ORF was cloned and sequence analysis showed this gene encoded cuticle collagen of Trichinella spiralis.

Objective:To investigate the negative effect of the IL-10 on monocyte-derived DC maturation and differation iv vitro,and the potentiation of the TNF-? or sCD40L to inhibit or reverse the IL-10′s inhibitory effect on monocyte-derived DC.Methods:The expression of the surface molecules on DC was detected by FACS analysis.The potentiation to stimulate T cell proliferation was assayed by 3H-TdR incorporation,and IL-12 secretion in the DC supernatant measured by ELISA.Results:In vitro DC-inducing system IL-10 had an obviously negative effect on the maturation as well as the potentiation to stimulate the T cell proliferation and IL-12 secretion of the immature monocyte-derived DC,and IL-10 could drive monocyte-derived DC differentiate into the macrophages.The negative effect was also correlative to the concentration of the added IL-10;The results also showed that IL-10 hadn′t any negative effect on mature DC induced by sCD40L,but to some extent could reduce the mature DC induced by TNF-? to produce IL-12;Furthermore the inhibitory effect of IL-10 can′t be reversed by adding TNF-? or sCD40L after IL-10 was added to the DC-inducing culture system for three days.Interesting by adding sCD40L not TNF-? to the DC-inducing culture system with IL-10 at the same time can inhibit the negative effect of IL-10 completely.Conclusion:IL-10 is an important biological factor produced in tumor microenvironment for escaping the attack of the immune system by repressing maturation,potentiation to costimulate the T cells and IL-12 secretion of the immature monocyte-derived DC.The reverse effect of TNF-? and sCD40L on IL-10 negative effect on monocyte-derived was different.All together suggested that CD40 signal has important values to obtain the therapeutic DC for the tumor immune intervention.

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), after nearly 30 years of continuous exploration and development, has been widely used in the treatment of complications of portal hypertension. TIPS has significant advantages in acute esophagogastric variceal bleeding, prevention of rebleeding, refractory peritoneal effusion, and Budd-Chiari syndrome; however, if postoperative anticoagulant measures are inappropriate, it can cause several complications, such as stent dysfunction and acute thrombosis, and lead to the recurrence of the symptoms of portal hypertension before TIPS, which greatly affects middle- and long-term clinical outcomes and survival rate. Maintenance of stent patency is the key to good postoperative treatment outcome, and therefore, anticoagulants play an important role in the prevention and treatment of post-TIPS thrombosis. At present, no consensus has been reached on post-TIPS anticoagulant therapy in China and foreign countries. This article reviews the research advances in the application of anticoagulants after TIPS.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantified by dynamic computed tomography (CT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with troponin level and left ventricle (LV) function in patients with ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-five STEMI patients who successfully had undergone reperfusion treatment within 1 week of their infarction were consecutively enrolled. All patients were referred for dynamic CT-MPI. Serial high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) levels and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measured by echocardiography were recorded. Twenty-six patients with 427 segments were included for analysis. Various quantitative parameters derived from dynamic CT-MPI were analyzed to determine if there was a correlation between hs-TnT levels and LVEF on admission and again at the 6-month mark. RESULTS: The mean radiation dose for dynamic CT-MPI was 3.2 ± 1.1 mSv. Infarcted territories had significantly lower MBF (30.5 ± 7.4 mL/min/100 mL versus 73.4 ± 8.1 mL/min/100 mL, p < 0.001) and myocardial blood volume (MBV) (2.8 ± 0.9 mL/100 mL versus 4.2 ± 1.1 mL/100 mL, p = 0.044) compared with those of reference territories. MBF showed the best correlation with the level of peak hs-TnT (r = −0.682, p < 0.001), and MBV showed a moderate correlation with the level of peak hs-TnT (r = −0.437, p = 0.026); however, the other parameters did not show any significant correlation with hs-TnT levels. As for the association with LV function, only MBF was significantly correlated with LVEF at the time of admission (r = 0.469, p = 0.016) and at 6 months (r = 0.585, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION: MBF quantified by dynamic CT-MPI is significantly inversely correlated with the level of peak hs-TnT. In addition, patients with lower MBF tended to have impaired LV function at the time of their admission and at 6 months.
