The purpose of this paper is to present the research on the molecular biological characteristics of proto-oncogene pim-2 and to analyze the related mechanism. Proto-oncogene pim-2 was studied and analyzed by the bioinformatics method and technology. With an online server, the chromosomal localization of pim-2 gene was analyzed, and the exon, open reading frame, CpG island and miRNAs complementary fragments and the like were predicted. With bioinformatics software, the physicochemical property of transcription protein of proto-oncogene pim-2 and various modification sites of protein sequence, such as ubiquitination and glycosylation, were predicted, the antigenic index was calculated, and the spatial structural was modeled. The research findings showed that the proto-oncogene pim-2 comprised six exons, the CDS (coding sequence) transcribed a section of peptide chain including 311 amino acids, a gene promoter has a CpG island, and the 3'UTR region contains an miRNA gene. The molecular weight of the Pim-2 protein was 34,188. 47, the isoelectric point was 5.78, the instability index was 45.87, and the extinction coefficient was 279nm. A plurality of covalent modification sites, two ubiquitination sites, four glycosylation sites, an SUMO sumoylation site, a nitrosation site, two palmitoylation sites and sixteen regions with higher antigenic index were distributed in the protein sequence. This research showed that the related regions and modification sites distributed on the sequence of proto-oncogene pim-2 were closely related to the carcinogenic effect thereof.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST) ,a kind of rare tumor,takes 1%～3% of all tumors in digestive tract,but are the most common in mesenehymal neoplasm.At present,the primal treatment of GIST is surgical operation,standard and rationality of surgery is the significant fatter that affects its curative effect.While imatinib is the main therapeutic tool for GIST that can' t benn resected or recurrence after operation.There is no definite circumscription between optimum and malignancy,there are many factors that influence the prognosis of GIST.We commonly apply Fletcher grading to evaluate the risk of GIST.

Objective To retrospectively analyze the therapeutic effect of wide surgical excision combined with low-dose adjuvant interferon-alpha 2b on cutaneous malignant melanoma.Methods A total of 32 patients with cutaneous malignant melanoma received wide surgical excision after preoperative examination and staging.The excisions were performed with a margin measuring 1-2 cm from the visible lesions or biopsy scars.Surgical modalities included direct suture after excision(4 patients),dactylolysis or toe amputation(6 patients),free skin grafting(15 patients),random skin flap transfer(3 patients)and pedicle skin flap transfer(4 patients).Lymph nodes were selectively dissected in 9 patients with regional transfer of lymph nodes,and inguinal lymph nodes were cleared away in 2 patients.One week after the operation,patients received adjuvant therapy with subcutaneous injection of interferon-alpha 2b(3 million IU,thrice per week)for one to three years.Results Preoperative tumor staging revealed 21 cases of cutaneous malignant melanoma at stage Ⅱ,and 11 cases at stage Ⅲ.The excisions healed by the first stage in all the patients.Up to June 2011,2 patients had been lost to follow up,5 patients with stage Ⅲ melanoma had died.Survival was observed in all of the 4 patients receiving 1-year follow up,12 of 13 patients receiving 1-3 year follow up,5 of 7 patients receiving 3-5 year follow up,and 4 of 6 receiving 5-year follow up.Of the 25 surviving patients,regional lymph node metastasis was observed in 8 patients,which developed within 2 years after the operation in 2 patients.The adjuvant therapy with interferon-alpha 2b lasted 3 years in 8 patients,and more than 1 year in 11 patients.Side effects were mild.Conclusion Wide surgical excision plus low-dose interferon-alpha 2b is effective for the treatment of stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ cutaneous malignant melanoma with lower local recurrence and higher survival rate.

Apoptosis is great advancement in sphere of biology,it is characteristic death form at physiological state.Rencent researchs discover that apoptosis take important role in transplantation immunity.That graft is rejected is the major obstruction in transplantation.Allogeneic transplantation rejection is because of immune response that is mediated by T lymphocyte and aimed directly at allogenic antigen.Apoptosis of activated T lymphocyte through some pathways can induce immune tolerance.Some immune suppressant produce effect just by cell apoptosis.This review mainly presents recent advance in transplantation tolerance induced by apoptosis of T lymphocyte.

Objective To experimentally verify the putative function of gene tls from Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage PaP3. Methods The gene tls was amplified from the genome of phage PaP3 by PCR and subcloned into pMD18-T vector. Then the gene tls cut down from the vector was inserted into the plasmid pQE31, which could give the 6-His tag at the N' side of the expressed protein. The recombinant vector pQE-tls was transformed to E. coli JM109. After induction with IPTG, the expressed bacteria was resuspended and sonicated, then the inclusion body was obtained after centrifugalization. The inclusion body was then dissolved with lysis buffer. The inclusion body solution, which has the target protein, was then purified by affinity chromatography and renatured by dialysis. Finally the nuclease activity of the fusion protein H6-TLS was tested on the plasmid pMD-cos which contains the cutting site of terminase large subunit. Results The expression plasmid pQE31-tls was successfully constructed, and the target protein yield was up to 30% of the total bacterial proteins. Meanwhile the substrate vector pMD-cos was also successfully constructed. After purification and renaturation, the fusion protein H6-TLS could partially cut the substrate vector pMD-cos. Conclusion The fusion protein H6-TLS was successfully expressed, purified and renatured, and it was shown to possess nuclease function. The experiment lays the foundation for further research of the gene tls.

Objective To develop a method for the determination of the dynamic parameters of interaction between methotrexate(MTX)enantiomer and dihydrofolate reductase(DHFR).Methods An affinity capillary electrophoresis(ACE)method was adopted.Using bare fused-silica capillary,the electrophoresis buffer was 50 mmoL/L sodium tetraborate with 0.2%Brij-35,pH 9.50.The temperature of separation was controlled at 25℃ and a voltage of 25 kV was applied.The separation of the reaction mixture was performed at a wavelength of 254 nm.The difference of peak areas about the product was used to calculate the inhibitory rate and IC50 values.Results We establish the detection method for the dynamic parameters of interaction between MTX enantioner and DHFR.The separation of the reaction mixture could be achieved within 30 min.The IC50 value of D-(-)-MTX and L-(+)-MTX were 3.17×10-7 and 2.48×10-8mol/L,respective.The IC50 value of the D-(-)-MTX was 31.67×10-8mol/L,the L-(+)-MTX was2.48×10-8mol/L.The IC50 value of the D-(-)-MTX was about 13 times higher than that of the L-(+)-MTX.Conclusions ACE is a rapid.simple and accurate method that can be used to monitor DHFRdynamic reaction.The IC50 values of MTX enantiomer were quite different.The result first indicated that reaction between MTX enantiomer and DHFR had three-dimensional selection.

Eleven salt-losers (SL group) and eleven non-salt-losers (NSL group) of congenital a-drenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) were evaluated for sodium status under routine regimen of glucocorticoid (4 salt-losers with mineralocorticoid at the same time). Venous samples were collected for the measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA), aldosterone (Aldo) , and a-drenocorticotropin (ACTH), and for serum cortisol (F), 17-OH progesterone (17-OHP), and testosterone (T). Urine samples were collected for 17-ketosteroid (17-KS). 10 age-matched normal children were chosen as control. The results showed that concentration of PRA, Aldo, 17-OHP, and T, were higher in both groups than in normal subjects (P
