Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2014;37(7):28-30
Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma von Willebrand factor(vWF) and the extent of coronary artery lesion in acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods One hundred and forty eight ACS patients (ACS group) who performed coronary angiography (CAG) were divided into single stenosis group (54 patients),double stenosis group (51 patients) and multitude stenosis group (43 patients) by the number of stenosis through CAG.They were divided into mild group (Gensini score ≤ 20 points,31 patients),midrange group (Gensini score 21-40 points,47 patients) and severe group (Gensini score ≥ 41 points,70 patients).Fifty patients with stable angina pectoris (SA) were randomly selected and classified as SA group,while 50 patients with healthy coronary were randomly selected as control group.Blood sample of 248 patients were collected to detect the level of vWF,and blood routine examination,blood clotting function,liver and renal function,high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP),blood glucose,blood fat were detected.The correlation between vWF and the extent of coronary artery lesion were analyzed.Results The level of white blood cell count (WBC) and hs-CRP in ACS group were significantly higher than those in SA group and control group (P < 0.05).But the level of WBC and hs-CRP between SA group and control group had no significant difference (P > 0.05).The level of blood platelet count,prothrombin time,partial prothrombin time,fasting blood glucose,thrombin time,2 h postprandial glucose,triglyceride,total cholesterol had no significant difference among three groups (P > 0.05).The level of vWF in ACS group was significantly higher than that in SA group and control group [(143.25 ± 20.42)% vs.(102.77 ± 11.84)%,(97.63 ± 10.31)%] (P <0.05).The level of vWF in single stenosis group,double stenosis group and multitude stenosis group was (127.34 ± 9.35)%,(144.81 ± 12.02)%,(159.55 ± 18.62)%,and significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.01).The level of vWF in mild group,midrange group and severe group was (124.77 ± 14.31)%,(132.53 ± 16.38)%,(155.06 ± 18.53)%,and significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.01).The level of vWF had significantly positive correlation with the number of stenosis and Gensini score (r =0.698,0.683,P < 0.01).Conclusion The level of vWF in peripheral blood is closely related with the severity of ACS and has important clinical significance in evaluating the condition and guiding therapy in patients with ACS.

Interferon stimulated gene 15 kDa protein (ISG15) is the first ubiquitin-like protein identified, which plays vital roles in a variety of fields including viral infection and immunological regulation. In this study, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to analyze ISG15-modified proteins in A549 cells in response to infection by influenza virus, which was enriched by immunoprecipitation. A total of 22 cellular host proteins were identified in A549 cells infected by influenza virus, including ubiquitin-like ISG15 protein, cyclin-T1, heat shock protein 71 kDa, caldesmon, eukaryotic translation initiation factor, and so on. Besides, non-structural protein (NS1) from influenza virus was also identified. Among the 22 host proteins identified, 6 proteins were also identified in the control non-infected A549 cells, including annexin A1, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A, ATP synthase subunit g, enolase, actin, and tubulin. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the identified ISG15-modified host proteins induced by influenza virus infection could be classified into 9 protein classes: chaperone, oxidoreductase, enzyme modulator, transferase, nucleic acid binding, transcription factor, kinase, cytoskeletal protein, and structural protein. This study provided a specific and effective tool for analyzing ISG15-modified proteins in proteome level.

Objective To investigate the variations of glomerular function in rabbits with partial unilateral ureteral obstruction (PUUO). Methods Thirty healty adult Japanese White Rabbits were randomly divided into the control group (6 rabbits) and the obstruction group (24 rabbits). The right PUUO model was established according to Cheng′s method. According to the PUUO duration, they were eaqually divided into four subgroups:the 7 day PUUO group, the 14 d PUUO group, the 28 d PUUO group and the 56 d PUUO group. The dynamic renal imaging was performed on all rabbits, and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was also calculated. The correlation between the renal function and PUUO duration was analyzed , and functional variations in the healthy kidneys were observed. Results (1)To the control group, no significant difference in the renal function was found between the left and the right kidneys (t = -0.145, P = 0.894). However, to the PUUO group, the right renal GFRs were significantly lower than the left renal GFRs (P < 0.05). (2) To the right renal GFR, significant difference was observed between the 7 day PUUO group and the control group (t = 5.066, P = 0.001),but not among the 7 day PUUO group, the 14 day PUUO group, the 28 day and the 56 day PUUO group (P > 0.05), (3)No significant differences were found in the left renal GFRs among the five groups. Conclusions The function of PUUO kidneys is characterized by an obvious decrease in the early stage, followed with a steady state. The basic function of the opposite healthy kidney does not present the compensation phenomenon.

Abstract Formaldehyde has been widely employed to immobilize clinical tissue specimens, inactivate toxins and viruses in biomedical fields. Formaldehyde can react with active groups in bio-molecules such as proteins, resulting in protein cross-linking, inactivation, and immobilization. By using several standard peptides and tryptic peptides from matrix protein of influenza virus as experimental models, we studied the chemical modifications of peptides and proteins with formaldehyde by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry and nano-electrospray quadruple time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. The reaction between formaldehyde and peptides was performed under the same conditions as those during inactivation of virus (4℃, 0. 025% Formalin (V/V), 37% formaldehyde solution (w/w), and 72 h). The results indicated that under above conditions, formaldehyde could react with amino group of N-terminus of standard peptide to generate a methylol adduct, which was further condensed into an imine to generate+12 Da product. Besides, formaldehyde could react with side chain of two amino acids such as arginine and lysine, yielding +12 Da product respectively. The analysis of the reaction between formaldehyde and tryptic peptides from matrix protein of influenza virus showed that +24 Da products could be detected in most peptides due to combinational contribution from N-terminus of peptide (+12 Da ) and side chain of C-terminal arginine or lysine (+12 Da) . Moreover, a +36 Da product was detected for a peptide with miss-cut site. The results indicated that low-concentration formaldehyde primarily reacted with amino group on N-termini of peptides and proteins, as well as the side chains of arginine and lysine residues. The present study suggested an effective mass spectrometry-based method for analyzing the reaction between low-concentration formaldehyde and peptides and proteins, thus provided strategies for interpretation for the mass spectra of reaction products.
