1.Helicobacter pylori infection and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(3):329-332
Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP) is characterized by platelet destruction which is mediated by auto-antibodies. Recent researches show that helicobacter pylori infection is correlated with part of FTP in adult. Eradication of helicobacter pylori infection has brought dramatically platelet elevation. It was reported that cross reaction played a very important part in the helicobacter related FTP, but the exact mechanism is still unknown, whether the FTP in children needs helicobacter pylori eradication is under debate.

Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2009;29(3):272-275
Objective To investigate the effects of acidic reperfusion on ischemia-reperfusion injury in isolated rat heart and the role of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.Methods Seventy adult SD rats weishing 450-550 g were randomly divided into 7 groups(n=10 each):group Ⅰ ischemia-repedusion injury(X/R);groupⅡ ischemic post eonfioning(IPC);group Ⅲ acidic reperfusion(H+);group Ⅳ ischemie postconditioning+alkalotic nsperfusion(IPC+OH-);group Ⅴ alkalotic reperfusion(OH-);group Ⅵ acidic repeffusion+wortmannin (H+wort)and group ⅦVl wortmannin(wort).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal(IP)urethane. Their chests were opened and hearts were excised and passively perfused in a Lsngendorff apparatus with KrebsHenseleit buffer(KHB)saturated with 95%O2-5%O2 at 37℃.The isolated hearts were made globally ischemic for 30 min followed by 120 rain reperfusion.Group II (IPC)WaS subjected to 6 cycles of 15 rain reperfusion and 15 min ischemia at the beginning of reperfusion. In group H+ and OH- (group Ⅲ ,Ⅴ ) the isolated hearts were perfused with KHB of pH 6.9 and 7.8 for 3 rain respectively at the beginning of reperfusion. In group IPC + OH( Ⅳ ) the isolated hearts were perfused with KHB of pH 7.8 for 3 rain followed by IPC. In group H + wort and wort ( Ⅵ,Ⅶ ) the isolated hearts were perfused with wortmannin 100 nmol/L in KHB of pH 6.9 and 7.4 for 3 min respectively at the beginning of reperfusion. LVEDP and ± dp/dtmax were measured before ischemia and at 30 min of reperfusion. Coronary effluent was collected for determination of NO concentration at 30 min of reperfusion. Lnfart size was measured at 120 rain of reperfusion. Results The LVEDP was decreased, ±dp/dt was increased, the infarct size was smaller and the NO concentration in coronary effluent was higher in group IPO and H+ compared with group I/R. Wortmannin abolished the protective effect of acidic reperfusion on isolated rat heart. Conclusion PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may be involved in the protective effects of acidic reperfusion on myocardium against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

6.Comparative study of cardiac muscle structure between two models of chronic cor pulmonale induced by hypoxia and active immunization of M2-muscarinic receptor
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2010;29(7):605-608
Objective To compare the similarities and differences in changes of cardiac muscle structure between the rat models of chronic cor pulmonale induced by hypoxia and active immunization of M2-muscarinic receptor under light microscope and electron microscope, and to explore the dependablity of the antibody effects on cardiac architecture. Methods The 48 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: (1) Hypoxia group: the typical model of chronic cor pulmonale was established according to XUE's method; (2) Active immunization group was immunized by M2-muscarinic receptor peptide; (3) Control group was fed in normal condition; (4) Cyclosporin A group: the hypoxia group plus cyclosporin A treatment at the same time. The antibody against M2-muscarinic receptor was detected by SA-ELISA, and the pathological exemplar of cardiac muscle was observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Results (1) Antibody level of M2-muscarinic receptor; the P/N values gradually increased along with the process of experiment, and the max value in active immunization group was 5. 13. At the end of the second week, the value in hypoxia group increased to 2.08, but was still less than in active immunization group (4.66). (2) Under light microscope: in hypoxia group and active immunization group, the hearts displayed significant alterations including disorder of cardiac muscle fiber, necrosis of myocardial cells together with the infiltration of inflammatory cells. There were no differences in light microscopic findings between hypoxia and cyclosporin A group. (3) Under transmission electronic microscope examination in both active immunization group and hypoxia group, the hearts showed s1imilar significant alterations such as focal cardiac muscle fiberlysis, loss of normal muscle fiber banding pattern, mitochondrial swelling and condensation, sarcoplasmic vacuolation and deposition of dense granules in both the sarcoplasmic and muscle fiber. The contour of myocyte was irregular and plasma membranes were discontinuous in some cells. All altered myocytes were fairly widely distributed throughout the myocardium. The interstitium showed edema, deposits of flocculent serum protein, activated fibroblasts and increased amounts of collagen fibers. No obvious alterations were observed in cyclosporin A group. Conclusions The positive rate and the titer of antibody against M2-muscarinic receptor are obviously increased in the rat model of chronic cor pulmonale, which indicates that there is a relationship between the antibody against M2-muscarinic receptor and the pathogenesis of chronic cor pulmonale.

Microbiology 1992;0(01):-
To investigate the role of ERC,6 gene in the growth rate and antifungal susceptibility,Aspergillus fumigatus strain with extra copies of ERG6 gene was constructed.Open reading frame (ORF) of putative ERG6 gene was searched in A.fumigatus genome.A PCR fragment, ERG6 ORF sandwiched by its flanking sequences (about 1 kb respectively),was amplified and was then subcloned into vector pRG-AMA1- NotI to produce a recombinant plasmid pERG6,which was further transformed into uracil auxotroph A.fumigatus strain AF293.1 to produce the transformant AF-pERG6.In the same time,empty plasmid pRG-AMA1-NotI was also transformed into A.fumigatus strain AF293.1 to produce the transformant AF-empty as a control.Radial growth of the transformants was tested on minimal medium (MM) and YAG medi- um.Antifungal susceptibilities of these resahing transformants,AF-pERG6 and AF-empty,to the common antifungal agents were performed by using both disk diffusion and broth microdillution methods.A.fumigatus genome contains a ERG6 gene,of which the ORF size is 1 256 bp.Comparing to Candida albicans and Sacchromyces cerivisiae sterol methyltransferase,A.fumigatus Erg6p had 57% and 50% identity, and had 70% and 63% similarity in amino acid sequences,respectively.Radial growth of transformant AF-pERG6 was slower than that of transformant AF-empty.The antifungal susceptibilties of transformant AF-pERG6 to the antifungal drugs itraconazole,voriconazole,terbin- aline,amphotericin B,caspofungin and grisefolvin were same to that of transformant AF-empty.In A.fumigatus,extra copies of ERG6 gene have no effect on antifungal susceptibilities to itraconazole,voriconazole,terbinafine,amphotericin B,caspofungin and grisefolvin.Radial growth of A.fumigatus harboring extra copies of ERG6 gene becomes slower compared to the control.
