The relationship between the conformation of interferon-α (IFN-α) and its anti-viral activity were analyzed by circular dichroism (CD) and flow cytometry (FCM) techniques. The recombinant human IFN-α (rIFN-α2b and rIFN-α2a) were used. CD spectra from 190 nm to 240 nm indicated that two the IFN-α showed stable secondary structure at 65 degrees C, but unstable when the temperature was above 65 degrees C, and the change was irreversible. FCM data of the anti-viral activity of IFN-α indicated that the change of its secondary structures partly weakened its anti-viral activity. The rIFN-α2b and rIFN-α2a showed the same phenomenon. These data indicated that the conformation of IFN-α is one of the factors to influence its anti-viral activity and the combination of CD and FCM is a good method to analyze the relationship between the conformation of protein drugs and their biological activities in single cell level.

Objective Take frizzled class receptor 4(FZD4) as an example for exploring whether the transmembrane receptor protein is a suitable marker for wound age estimation. Methods A total of 78 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into the control group and the contusion groups of 4h, 8h, 12h, 16h, 20h, 24h, 28h, 32h, 36h, 40h, 44h, and 48h after injury (n=6). Using a drop-ball technique, a contusion was produced in the right lamb of rats. The samples were dissected from injury zones. Then the expression of FZD4 was detected using immunofluorescence, real-time PCR and western blot, respectively. Results FZD4 was located on the membrane of skeletal muscle cells. Compared to the control group, FZD4 mRNA showed a signiifcant increase (over 2-fold) in 8h, 12h, 36h, and 40h after injury by Real-time PCR (P<0.05), and FZD4 protein showed a statistical up-regulation (less than 2-fold) in 8h, 36h, 40h, 44h, and 48h post contusion by western blotting (P<0.05). Conclusion The expression of FZD4 mRNA and protein are both time-dependent during contused skeletal muscle repair. To some degree, FZD4 mRNA was more suitable than corresponding protein for determining wound age.

BACKGROUND:Skin transplantation is regarded as the most effective therapy for large-area skin defects, which is limited by donor sources and immune rejection. Therefore, it is extremely accelerate the construction of the dermis in skin tissue engineering.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/calcium alginate gel, basic fibroblast growth factor and degradation membrane on the repair of ful-thickness skin defects.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were isolated from 15 New Zealand rabbits, and then cultured, amplified, subcultured and purified. Three ful-thickness skin defects were made on the back of every rabbit, and randomly treated with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/calcium alginate gel, basic fibroblast growth factor and degradation membrane as experimental group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/calcium alginate gel as control 1 group, and calcium alginate gel as control 2 group. The wounds were al covered with amniotic membrane. After 7, 14, 21 days, new wound tissues were taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunohistochemistry staining and image analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Dermis tissues in the experimental group were obviously thicker than those in control 1 and control 2 groups; there were more fibroblasts, vessels and colagen fibers in the experimental group. Especialy at 14 and 21 days after operation, epidermal hyperplasia was faster with a larger coverage area in the experimental group, and at 21 days, the new epidermal tissues mainly exhibited multi-layered structure, which was superior to the control 1 and 2 groups. It folows that the combination of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels/calcium alginate gel, basic fibroblast growth factor and degradation membrane for skin defects can accelerate the repair and regeneration of the dermis, and thus promote the epidermis regeneration and reconstruction.

Objective In order to understand which kind of function genes play an important role for es-timating wound age, the variation of difference genes’ mRNA expression were compared after injury. Methods T he mRNA expression levels of seven candidate genes (ICAM-1, NF-κB, MX2, MT1, MT2, sTnI, and Cox6c) were analyzed in contused rat skeletal muscle at different time points using real-time fluorescent quantitative PC R (R T-qPC R ). T he rawC t values were normalized relative to that of RPL32 mRNA , and converted to standard C t values. A t each time point after injury, the standard deviations (SD ) of the standard C t values were calculated by SPSS. Results T he expression trends of the seven genes were all found to be related to wound age, but there were lower variation coefficients and greater reliability of sTnI and Cox6c when compared with other genes. Conclusion T he genes encoding struc-tural proteins or proteins that performbasic functions can be suitable for wound age estimation.
