HEK293 or HeLa cells were transfected by NIRF and, or P53, whole cell extracts andimmunoprecipitates were subjected to SDS-PAGE followed by Western blotting. GST pull-down was carried outto identify the interactions between NIRF and P53. In vitro ubiquitination reaction was carried out to identify P53ubquitinate by NIRF. The results suggested that NIRF could interact with P53 in vivo and in vitro. The results alsoshowed that NIRF could ubiquitinate P53 in vivo and in vitro. The results indicated that NIRF would be a newnegative regulator of P53.

Objective To analyze the drug-resistance and distribution of nonferments bacteria infection in our hospital and provide the diagnosis and treatment evidence to doctor.Methods 241 nonferments bacteria strains had been separated from patients of Xinqiao Hospital from July 2006 to Jan 2008. Bacteria identify and drug-resistance test were performed by VITEK-Ⅱanalysis system. The drug-resistance result was determined by MIC with the standard of NCCLS.Results The separate rate in patients of neurosurgery, respiration, orthopaedics were 24.94、23.27 and 10.79 respectively. The main source of specimen are sputum. The drug resistance rate were Imipenem (16.9), Amikacin(29.3), Cefepime (33.9) and Cefazidime(39.1) in 241 nonferments bacteria strains. Conclusion The infection of nonferments bacteria must be recognized by doctors, and it would prompt us to use antibiotic properly.

9).Renal pathology revealed 3 patients with class Ⅳ, 1 patient with class Ⅱ. Image results showed diffuse pulmonary infiltration lesions. Bronchial lavage fluid was hemorrhage. Three patients recovered after treatment with corticosteroid and intravenous cyclophosphamide therapy. Conclusions Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage is rare serious complications of lupus nephritis. Aggressive immunosuppressive therapy should be started early for a favorable outcome.

The partial segment of Marek′s disease virus (MDV) glycoprotein B (gB) gene was amplified by PCR. The segment was cloned into pET-28a vector to obtain the recombinant pET-gB plasmid. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21,and expressed in very high level as inclusion body after induced with 1.0mmol/L IPTG. The inclusion body was solubilized in urea (8mol/L) . The purified protein was obtained by use of His?Bind affinity chromatography. Mice were immunized i.p. by the purified protein to make the polyclonal antibody. The titer of the antibody by indirect ELISA was 1?10~ -5 . Moreover, the analysis by western blot proved that antibody was specific to the recombinant protein. These works lay a favorable foundation for the study of the immune response by MDV gB.

Objective To screen for microRNA (miRNA) involved in fetal rat lung development.Methods Fetal lungs were collected at their 16 d,19 d and 21 d of gestational age,and were observed after HE staining.Differentially expressed miRNA (fold change> 1.0) were screened by miRCURYTM locked nucleic acids chip.Some differentially expressed miRNA were selected for further analysis to investigate their change trends in 16 d,19 d and 21 d of gestational age.Results (1) Under the observation after HE staining,in gestational age 16 d group,original bronchus was dendritic distributed,with thick interstitial,rare capillary and no alveolar structure existed; in gestational age 19 d group,primary alveolar was seen,interstitial became thinner,and more capillaries were found; in gestational age 21 d group,more alveolar septa were identified and pulmonary acinus cavity was extremely expanded.(2) Two hundred and two differentially expressed miRNA were found.Among them,many miRNA were firstly reported in rat fetal lung development,suchas miRNA-3560 (8.4211415,4.8889050),miRNA-126 * (7.5239524,1.5118160),miRNA-186* (0.980 325 0,0.688 447 5),miRNA-466c* (0.977 220 0,0.877 227 0),miRNA-195 (13.549 629 0,0.985 488 8),miRNA-34a (12.426 133 0,0.604 066 2) and miRNA-466b-1 *(0.993 153 1,1.732 802 3).(3)The expression of miRNA-466c * and miRNA 186 * decreased as the gestational age increased from 16 d to 21 d,while expression of miRNA-195,miRNA-3560,miRNA-466b-1 *,miRNA-126 * and miRNA-let-7b increased; miRNA-34a expression increased during 16 d to 19 d.miRNA 17-92 family expression decreased,while expression of most let-7 family members (except let-7i and let-7e) increased from 16 d to 21 d of gestational age.Conclusions These miRNA might play an important role in the physiological mechanisms of fetal lungs development.

Purpose To compare the CT features of hepatic angiomyolipoma (HAML) and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and improve diagnostic accuracy for HAML. Materials and Methods The CT findings of 9 patients with HAML confirmed pathologically and 20 patients with HCC were retrospectively analyzed in terms of lesion location, appearance, size, margin, CT value at each phase, cirrhosis and vessel presence inside tumor. Results Mean CT value on plain scan and at arterial phase on contrast enhanced scan of HAML was significantly lower than that of HCC (t=-2.885, P<0.05;t=-3.307, P<0.01). At portal vein phase, difference in CT value showed no statistic significance (t=-0.293, P>0.05). CT value on plain scan and at arterial phase of both HAML and HCC was not significantly different (t=1.289, P>0.05) whilst that at portal vein phase was significantly different (t=2.516, P<0.05). Central vessels were shown in 7 cases of HAML and 3 cases of HCC, pseudocapsule appeared in 1 case of HAML and 13 cases of HCC with statistical difference (χ2=10.828, 7.219;P<0.01). Conclusion CT scan of HAML reveals the component of fat and presentsfast in and slow outpattern, large shadow of vessel and absence of capsule on contrast enhanced scan, which can be helpful in the differential diagnosis from HCCs.

To examine the changes in matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and -9 (MMP-9) in the development and progression of endometriosis, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay and gelatin zymography were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels and activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 from the first day to the 21(st) day after the induction in mice with induced endometriosis (experimental group) and sham-operated animals (controls). The results showed that the mRNA and protein levels and activities of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 were significantly increased on the first day after the induction and the level of MMP-2 stayed at a level higher than that in the control group. MMP-9 had two or three peaks during the 21 days, taking place at day 1, 4 and 15. It is concluded that the changes in the MMP-2 and MMP-9 might be involved in pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Objective To explore the causes of rising carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter baumannii isolates by analysis of the carbapenemase genotypes in A .baumannii .Methods WHONET 5 .4 was used to analyze the changing resistance profile of A .baumannii isolates over years .A total of 320 carbapenem‐resistant A .baumannii isolates were collected from the patients in an intensive care unit from January 2008 to December 2012 .All strains were identified and tested by VITEK 2 for their susceptibility .The metallo‐β‐lactamases genes and OXA carbapenemase genes were investigated by polymerase chain reaction . Results The resistance rate of A .baumannii isolates to meropenem and imipenem increased rapidly from 10 .8% to 80 .4% and from 13 .5% to 83 .5% during the period from 2008 and 2012 .The prevalence of blaOXA‐23and ISAba1‐associated blaOXA‐23genes increased from 25 .0% to 97 .1% .No metallo‐β‐lactamase encoding genes were detected .Conclusions Our results indicate that the rising carbapenem resistance in the A . baumannii isolates in our intensive care unit may be associated with the high prevalence of blaOXA‐23 and IS A ba1‐associated blaOXA‐23 genes .
