Protein kinase D (PKD) is a novel family of serine/threonine kinases and diacylglycerol (DAG) receptors and has been documented in a variety of cellular processes. To get high purity catalytic domain of PKD1 (PKD1-cat) for crystallography study, the GST-tagged PKD1-cat gene was cloned into a baculovirus transfer vector pFastBac1 (donor plasmid). When the recombinant plasmid was transformed into DH10Bac competent Escherichia coli, which contains a baculovirus shuttle vector (bacmid), transposition occurs to generate a recombinant bacmid containing the gene of interest (GST-PKD1-cat). The recombinant bacmid DNA was transfected into Spodoptera frugiperda Sf9 insect cells to generate recombinant baculovirus, which was then amplified through multiple rounds of infection in Sf9 cells. After that, Trichoplusia ni insect cells in suspension culture were infected with baculoviral stock at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5 PFU/cell. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting analysis confirmed the detection of a 68 kDa protein by the glutathione S-transferase (GST) monoclonal antibody. The recombination protein was purified by Glutathione sepharose affinity chromatography and cleaved by PreScission Protease to remove GST tag, and a highly pure 42 kDa protein which was consistent with the molecular weight of the expected PKD1-cat protein was detected on SDS-PAGE. The activity of purified PKD1-cat protein was determined by in vitro PKD kinase assay. Our data showed that the kinase activity increased with the concentration of purified PKD1-cat protein. These results showed that the truncated recombinant PKD1-cat protein was highly active and pure, and could potentially be used for solving 3D structure of this protein by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) or crystallography.

Objective: To observe the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at Tianshu (ST25) on pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in sodium taurocholate-induced severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in rats. Methods: Sixty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: sham-operation group, SAP group and EA group. An SAP model was established by injecting 3.5% sodium taurocholate at a dose of 1 mL/kg through puncturing the pancreatic duct. In the EA group, EA at ST25 was performed with sparse-dense wave (2/100 Hz, 2 mA for 30 min) immediately after sodium taurocholate injection and 30 min before sacrifice. Rats were sacrificed at 3 (n=7), 6 (n=7) and 12 h (n=8) after operation. Levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 in serum were estimated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pathological changes of pancreatic tissues were examined by hematoxylin and eosin staining and observed under a microscope and also scored. Results: The levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 of SAP rats were significantly higher than those of sham-operation rats at 3, 6 and 12 h. The level of IL-10 in serum of SAP rats was significantly higher than that of sham-operation rats at 3 and 6 h (P<0.05). EA at ST25 down-regulated the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and up-regulated the level of IL-10 and the ratio of IL-10/TNF-α, also attenuated the morphological damages at 6 and 12 h (P<0.05) in rats with SAP. The pathological scores of pancreatic tissues in the EA group were significantly less than those in the SAP group at 6 and 12 h (P<0.05). Conclusion: EA at ST25 may have a therapeutic effect on rats with SAP by down-regulating the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 and up-regulating the level of IL-10 to re-establish the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and to ameliorate the inflammatory response of SAP.

The aquaporins (AQPs) are a group of highly selective water channel protein family. The content of AQP4 in the astrocytes of the brain is the highest. It is the most vital protein in central nerve system. It participates in a series of pathologic processes of cerebrovascular disorders, brain contusion, tumor, and inflammation caused cerebral edema.However, the mechanism of AQP4 in the process of cerebral edema formation remains controversial. Selective modulation of the expression of AQP4 and intervention in part of its role may provide novel ideas and means for the treatment of edema after cerebral ischemia in clinical practice.

Objective　To study the indication, contraindication and short-term clinical effects of stereotactic radiotherapy (X-knife) in lung cancer. Methods　A total of 56 cases (Treatment group) of lung cancer were treated with X-knife composing of the modern 3-D treatment planning system and the stereotactic body frame, and SL-75 accelerator. And another 53 cases only treated with routine external radiation served as the control. In treatment group, 42 cases received 50 Gy radiation, at 2 Gy per day, 5 d per week in the upper mediastinum, hilus of lung, below the primary focus first and then underwent X-knife for the primary focuses, and other 14 recurrent and metastatic cases received irradiation of 8-12 Gy per day, 5 d by X-knife alone. Results　The actually reexamination rate for 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after X-knife treatment in 78 focuses from 56 cases was 79.5% (62/78), 89.8% (70/78), 87.2% (68/78) and 78.2% (61/78) respectively. The focuses reappeared in 3 months after the treatment and the growth rates of focus in 3, 6, and 12 month after the treatment were 2.6% (2/78), 5.1% and 9% (7/78) respectively. There were 2 focuses received a second treatment with X-knife because no change after the first one. Both the 1-and 2-year survival rates of 36 cases of the primary lung cancer in the treatment group were higher than that of control group (89.1%, 53.9% and 77.4%, 39.6%). Conclusion　The stereotactic radiotherapy is of applicable and prospective in the treatment of lung cancer. The indications include: ①As a boost dose in case when primary focus is less than 5 cm after the first external radiotherapy may reduce the exposure of lung tissue to x-ray and the occurrence of radiation pneumonia; ②Treatment for the recurrence after radiotherapy and operation; ③Radical treatment for the metastatic focus less than 5 cm. Attention must be paid to when multiple treatment is carried on the volume of the focus, the Karnofsky scores and the general condition when stereotactic radiotherapy combined with X-knife for lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the significance of the changes of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and D-dimer (DD) levels in patients with acute cerebral infarction with different etiological subtypes. Methods One hundred forty-six patients with acute cerebral infarction within 24 hours of onset were divided into four groups according to the TOAST classification:large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA, n =48), small-artery occlusion (SAO, n = 32), cardioembolism (CE, n = 41 ), and cryptogenic cerebral infarction (n = 25 ). Plasma BNP and DD levels were measured in the emergency department, and the correlation between both plasma BNP and DD levels and different subtypes of cerebral infarction, infarct rolume and severity of disease were analyzed. Results The plasma BNP and DD levels in the cardioembolism group were significantly higher than those in all the non-cardioembolism groups (all P ＜0.01). The plasma DD level was also increased significantly (compared to the LAA group, P ＜0. 05; compared to the SAO and cryptogenic cerebral infarction groups, all P ＜ 0. 01 ), while there were no significant differences in plasma BNP and DD levels among all the non-CE groups. The plasma BNP and DD levels in patients of the large infarction group were significantly higher than those of the moderate infarction group (t = 3.766 and 3.029, respectively; P = 0. 013 and 0. 029,respectively), and there was no significant difference between the moderate infarction group and the small infarction group (t= 1.275 and 1.207, respectively; P= 0.258 and 0. 281,respectively). The plasma BNP and DD levels in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 7 group were significantly higher than those in the NIHSS score ＜ 7 group (t = - 3.454 and - 4. 044, respectively; P = 0. 018 and 0. 010, respectively). Conclusions Acute cerebral infarction, particularly the plasma BNP and DD levels were increased significartly in patients with cardioembolism, and the larger the infarct volume, the more serious the disease, and the higher the both levels. Early detection of plasma BNP and DD levels contribute to etiological classification of cerebral infarction, especially for the diagnosis of cardioembolism, as well as the identification of infarct volume and the severity of the disease.
