With the progress of technology in separation and identification, proteomics is now widely applied in biomedicine.Because of the powerful ability to research differential protein expression and posttranslational modifications between normal and pathological samples on large scale level, proteomics provides the possibilities to screen biomarkers for diagnosis, therapy or prognosis of diseases.

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipoproteins synthesized,secreted and recy-cled by type Ⅱ alveolar cells. The primary function of PS is to minimize the surface tension at the alveolar air-liquid interface. Surfactant dysfunction with quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of both phospholipids and proteins are characteristics of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ) . Exogenous surfactant replacement shows consistent improvements in gas exchange,but had limited success in improving survival. These may be due to variety of aetiologies in ARDS、surfactant compositiones, delivery methods, optimal time and doses. At this time,surfactant therapy cannot be recommended as routine therapy in pediatric ARDS.

[Objective] To find the method of pharmacokinetics experiment about Huanglianjiedu Decoction.[Methods] According to references about pharmacokinetics experiments on Huanglianjiedu Decoction,the article summarized the achievements in quantitative analysis,the influence of distill techniques and pharmacokinetics on indict components in Huanglianjiedu Decoction.This article attached importance to applying the technologies of PK-PD modeling and Data Mining in research of Chinese traditional medicine compound.[Conclusion] The pharmacokinetics study on Huanglianjiedu Decoction is just in the first step; thereby further studies will be taken on this decoction in order to reveal the active fractions and effect mechanism.

Objective To investigate a potential role for ORF50 promoter of human herpesvirus 8(HHV 8)in reactivation of HHV 8 in primary effusion lymphoma(PEL)BC 3 cells by HIV 1 related inflammatory cytokine,hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor(HGF/SF). Methods The persistent stimulation of BC 3 was performed by recombinant HGF/SF and treated BC 3 cells were collected at the 3 rd and 7 th day after persistent stimulation respectively. Northern blot, quantitative PCR(real time PCR), and electron microscopy(EM)were carried out to detect the expression of mRNA of minor capsid protein ORF26 and the presence of viral particles of HHV 8 from treated BC 3 cells. Co transfection of BC 3 and human umbilical veil endothelial cells (HUVECs) with HHV 8 ORF50 promoter driven luciferase construct built previously by us and recombinant expression plasmid named pEV containing HIV 1 Tat coding gene was performed and stimulation of co transfected cells with recombinant HGF/SF and/or HIV 1 recombinant gp120 was conducted at 24 hours after transfection to induce luciferase gene expression. Then relative luciferase activity unit(RLU) was calculated at 24 hours after stimulation. In the meantime, stimulation of co transfected cells with 12 O tetradecanoylphorbol 13 acetate(TPA) was performed to be used as positive control. Results It was found that HGF/SF induced an 4.1 folds increase in mRNA expression of ORF26 when it was added individually to BC 3 cells at the 7 th day after persistent stimulation. Viral particles of HHV 8 were readily identified in BC 3 cells stimulated with HGF/SF at the 7 th day with EM analysis. Recombinant HGF/SF could upregulate promoter activity of HHV 8 ORF50 promoter in BC 3 and HUVECs cells and however, HIV 1 Tat and gp120 failed to act synergistically with HGF/SF to enhance ORF50 promoter activity in HUVECs. Conclusions The results show that HIV 1 related inflammatory cytokine HGF/SF is responsible for the induction of HHV 8 lytic cycle replication and the induction may be, at least partly mediated by ORF50 promoter of HHV 8.

Objective To prepare ?-CD(?-cyclodextrin) inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000[poly-(ethylene glycol) 4000] solid dispersions of mefenamic acid (MFA)in order to improve its dissolution. Methods The inclusion compounds of MFA were prepared using saturated ?-CD solution method by orthogonal test. The solid dispersions were prepared using melt-cool process with PEG- 4000 as a carrier. The inclusion compounds and solid dispersions were identified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) gram and their dissolution rates were tested in pH8.0 buffer solution. Results The suitable condition for preparing ?-CD inclusion compounds of MFA industrially was the weight ratio of 1∶4 between MFA and ?-CD, agitating for 4 h at 70 ℃. The suitable proportion for preparing solid dispersions of MFA was the weight ratio of 1∶4 between MFA and PEG- 4000. Conclusion Dissolution rates of MFA are apparently improved in inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000 solid dispersions, and the solubility of MFA is apparently increased by 2～3 times in inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000 solid dispersions.

Objective To investigate the significance of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in cross-match test of donor-recipient before organ transplantation.Methods HLA glycoproteins were prepared by solubilizing the lymphocytes of donor with a non-ionic detergent, and bond to the monoclonal antibody specific for HLA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ immobilized in the ELISA tray. ELISA with addition of recipients' serum and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) were compared.Results Cross-match test was performed by two methods for lymphocytes of 40 donors and sera of 72 recipients. All samples were successfully tested. The results of one pair of donor-recipient cross-match test by two methods were different.Conclusion ELISA for cross-match test is simple, convenient and time-saving, but more sensitive and specific than CDC.
