With the rapidly development of the biotechnology industry,large quantities of recombinant proteins are needed for specific therapeutic and diagnostic applications.Bacterial cells are most often used for the production of recombinant proteins.However,recombinant proteins expressed in the cytoplasm of bacteria are often misfolded as insoluble inclusion bodies and therefore inactive.To circumvent this problem,several eukaryotic expression systems have also been developed over the years,ranging from yeast to mammalian cell-based technologies.For many mammalian proteins,especially those secreted and modified posttranslationally,a more compatible expression system is highly desirable because proper folding or modification can only be provided with closely related cells,i.e.,mammalian cells.Large scale transient transfection of mammalian cells is a recent and powerful technology for the fast production of milligram amounts of recombinant proteins.Transient expression by means of extrachromosomal replication in COS cells is frequently used to check the functional integrity of genes/plasmids and to produce small quantities of cell supernatants containing the protein of interest.As it is allowed for easy and efficient purification,many recombinant proteins used for therapeutic and structural studies are naturally secreted or engineered to be secreted.The use of a proper signal peptide is one of the major determinants for the efficient secretion of heterologous proteins from mammalian cells.The noncatalytic C-terminal hemopexin-like domain of MMP-2,PEX,can block angiogenesis and tumor growth in vivo.Large quantities of biochemically active recombinant PEX are required for the study of their functions and biochemical properties,as well as for their industrial applications.For this purpose,the rat growth hormone,mouse IgG? chain and MMP-9 signal peptides were used for expression of PEX in COS7 cells,and their secretion efficiencies were compared by Western blotting and ELISA.Western-blotting of PEX protein from culture media,resulted in detection of proteins with the predicted molecular mass,which indicate that all of the signal sequences could direct PEX secretion successfully.The MMP-9 signal peptide seems to be superior to the signal peptides from IgG and rGH both in terms of extracellular yield and in terms of secretion efficiency.Thus,expression of pM9PEX construct resulted in higher yields of extracellular PEX and the majority of the produced PEX was secreted and not trapped intracellularly.To examine whether the observed difference in secretion yields is promoted at the transcriptional level,a RT-PCR analysis was performed at 6 h after transfection.The presence of mRNA transcripts of PEX was observed in all the DNA constructs.Moreover,semiquantitative reverse transcription(RT-PCR)results show that there were no significant differences in the expression levels of PEX among the constructs at 6 h after transfection.Though there was no difference in the expression levels of PEX at an early time point after transfection,the presence of an ER-targeting signal peptide sequence in the expression vector affected the trafficking of expressed proteins in the cells.Hence,the described difference in exported yields is probably promoted at the secretion level,rather than at the transcriptional level.Chick chorioallantoic membrane(CAM)bioassay show that the PEX protein purified from cell culture had biological activity to inhibit the angiogenesis.The MMP-9's signal peptide is used for the first time as leader sequence for secretion of foreign proteins.The results revealed that higher amounts of secreted PEX were obtained when vectors containing MMP-9 signal peptide were used and it is also indicated that MMP-9 signal sequence could be effective on promoting the secretion of other heterologous proteins in eukaryotic cells.

Objective: To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of gallic acid(GA),methyl gal- late(MG)and ellagic acid(EA)in the residue of a gingival consolidation liquid(a mouth rinse preparation),and inves- tigate the effect of different residue-drying methods on the GA,MG and EA content in the residues. Methods: High per- formance liquid chromatography(HPLC)switching walvelength method was used to determine the GA,MG and EA con- tents. The column was Agilent Zorbax SB-C18(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm). The mobile phase was methanol(A)-0.05% phosphoric acid aqueous solution(B)in a gradient elution. The detection wavelength was 272 nm for GA/MG and 255 nm for EA. The flow rate was 1 ml/min,and the injection volume was 3 μl. Meanwhile,the residues were dried with the methods of sun drying,blast drying,vacuum drying and microwave vacuum drying,respectively and the GA,MG and EA contents in the residues were determined by the established HPLC method. Results: The linear ranges for GA,MG and EA were 1.280-4.608(r=0.9998),0.560-2.016(r=0.9998),0.1145-0.4122 μg(r=0.9997),respectively. The aver- age recoveries for GA,MG and EA were 99.97%,99.93% and 100.20%,with the RSD of 0.34%,2.30% and 0.93%,re- spectively. The contents of GA,MG and EA varied in quite a large range in the residues dried by different methods. Con- clusion: The established method is fast,simple and practicable,which could be used for the determination of GA,MG and EA in the residue of a gingival consolidation liquid. The drying methods could significantly affect the contents of GA, MG and EA in the residues,and the related results provide a reference for future studies.

Objective To explore the cardiac function of right ventricles in children with various course of bronchial asthma. Methods The cardiac function was evaluated by using the Doppler echocardiography in 36 chil-dren with course > 1 year bronchial asthma in remission stage and 38 children with course ≤ 1 year bronchial asthma in remission stage. 40 healthy children were used as normal controls. After treatment, 10 children with course > 1 year were evaluated again. Results The injury of right ventricle systolic function was predominant in children with > 1 year bronchial asthma, The systolic function of right ventricle remained normal in children with ≤ 1 year bronchi-al asthma. Conclusion The cardiac function damage occurs in children with > 1 year bronchial asthma and will be recoveied by cure the astham. The Doppler echocardiography is noninvasive method for determination of cardiac func-tion.

Objective To investigate the performances in line bisection(LB)and line cancellation(LC)tasks of patients with unilateral neglect.Methods The unilateral neglect patients,performances in LB and LC tasks before and after rehabilitation treatment were retrospectively analyzed.Results Before treatment,statistical analyses revealed the patients,performances in LC and LB tasks did not differ from each other(P =0.902).After treatment,statistical analyses revealed a significant difference between the two tasks(P =0.007).With LB only,29/30(97%)patients with neglect were detected;with LC only,22/30(73%)patients with neglect were detected.Conclusions As the performances of unilateral neglect patients improved,patients revealed difference between the performances in LB and in LC tasks.One test alone would miss some subjects with neglect.Combinative use of the two tests was more sensitive than either of the 2 tests alone.

Objective To explore the relationship between learning and memory ability and antioxidant enzyme (SOD, CAT, GSH-Px)activities in specific brain areas of D-galactose model rats. Methods The aging models were induced by D-galactose in 3-month old rats, and the learning and memory ability of aging model was detected in model MG-2 maze. The activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in brain cortex, cerebellum,hippocampus, striatum and hypothalamus were detected immediately after rats were executed. Results The learning and memory ability of D-ga-lactose aging model was lower than that of control group. The difference of antioxidant enzyme activity among different rat brain areas was significant. The correct response rate of D-galactose aging model was( 58.9 ± 5.4 ) %, which is significantly lower than that of the control group (66.8 ±8.9) %, P ＜ 0.05. The times of response required reaching the standard after 24h of aging model rats was significantly higher than that of the control( Aging group :29.5 ± 12.8, Control group 16.6 ± 6.2; P＜ 0.01 ). Correct response rate after 24h was significantly lower than that of the control ( Aging group :67.3 ± 10.3 , Control group: 79.1 ± 6.9; P＜ 0.01 ). The SOD activity in cortex, hippocampus and striatum( Aging group :66.12 ±5.89,80.46 ± 6.57,87.82 ± 6.87; Control group :57.63 ± 4.21,67.46 ± 6.80,68.37 ± 6.52) significantly reduced ( P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01 ).The CAT activity in cortex, hippocampus, striatum and hypothalamus( Aging group :6.45 ± 0.55,5.86 ±0.35,6.93 ± 0.63,8.89 ± 0.38; Control group :5.32 ± 0.56,4.76 ± 0.38,4.37 ± 043,6.11 ± 0.37) significantly reduced ( P ＜ 0.05 and P ＜ 0.01 ). GSH-Px activity was similar in each brain area without significance ( P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusions The learning and memory ability of aging mode rats decreased. The change of antioxidant enzyme activities in hippocampus, cortex, striatum and hypothalamus is closely related to learning and memory ability.
