Objective To evaluate the efficacy difference between flupentixol and melitracen combined with conventional medicine and conventional drug alone in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Methods Studies on flupentixol and melitracen combined with conventional medicine (pinaverium bromide and trimebutine maleate) and conventional medicine alone in the treatment of IBS were collected and reviewed through searching the Chinese Academic Journals Full-text Database,Chinese VIP Full-text Database and PubMed database.After that,the test for homogeneity and the combined effect test were estimated. Results A total of 12 clinical studies on flupentixol and melitracen combined with conventional medicine for four to twelve weeks in the treatment of IBS were collected six studies indicated the homogeneity test of flupentixol and melitracen combined with pinaverium bromide (x2 =1.90,df=5,P=0.86,I2 =0).For the fixed-effect model,the odds ratio was 7.92 and 95％ CI was between 4.85 and 12.95,which suggested the combined therapy was better.The other six studies indicated the homogeneity test of flupentixol and melitracen combined with trimebutine maleate (x2 =5.60,df=5,P =0.35,I2 =10.6 ％).For the fixed-effect model,the odds ratio was 5.91 and 95％ CI was between 4.06 and 8.61,which suggested the combined therapy was better.After merging the 12 studies it indicated the homogeneity test of flupentixol and melitracen combined with conventional medicine (x2 =8.40,df =11,P =0.68,I2 =0).For the fixed effect model,the odds ratio was 6.63 and 95％ CI was between 4.92 and 8.93.Conclusion The efficacy of flupentixol and melitracen combined with conventional medicine in the treatment of IBS was better than that of conventional medicine alone,however,still more high quality trials are needed for further confirmation.

To obtain specific antibodies against nsp4 protein of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), nsp4 gene was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into pET-28a(+) vector, designated pET28a-nsp4. pET28a-nsp4 was transformed into Escherichia coli Trasseta (DE3) cells and expressed after induction of IPTG. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the recombinant protein was expressed in soluble form with the molecular weight of 26 kDa. The soluble fusion protein in the supernatant was purified using Ni+-NTA affinity chromatography. New Zealand rabbits were immunized by the purified nsp4 and anti-sera against nsp4 were obtained. The titer of polyclonal antibodies was about 106 and showed good specificity and sensitivity in the immunofluorescence assay and Western blotting analysis. The polyclonal antibodies also recognized native nsp4 form PRRSV infected Marc-145 cells, providing a useful tool in PRRSV replication mechanism study.

【Objective】 To investigate the effect of intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG) with different Aβ antibody content on the cognitive function of Alzheimer′s disease model mice. 【Methods】 IVIG from 8 domestic blood products companies were selected. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the content of Aβ40/42 antibody. Three kinds of IVIG with high, middle and low Aβ42/40 antibody levels were selected to treat 3xTg-AD mice. Forty 3-month-old 3xTg-AD mice were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 mice in each group(half male and half female). Three treat groups were intraperitoneally injected with three kinds of IVIG with 1g·kg^-1 for 12 weeks(twice a week). The controls were injected with the same volume of saline. Behavioral tests were performed immediately by using the mouse behavior analysis system after a total of 24 injections. 【Results】 The concentrations of antibodies(μg/mL) against Aβ40 monomer in IVIG ranged 0.7±0.05 to 3.1±0.05, concentrations of antibodies against Aβ40 oligomer ranged 11.7±0.7 to 32.0±2.2, concentrations of antibodies against Aβ42 monomer ranged 1.8±0.1 to 27.9±0.3, and concentrations of antibodies against Aβ42 oligomeric ranged 2.3±0.1 to 49.4±2. High(IVIG-1), medium(IVIG-8) and low(IVIG-6) IVIG were selected for mice study. In the open field test, the time of four groups of mice entering the central area(s) was 0.5±0.9, 23.4±6.1(P<0.0001), 4.6±2.8 and 2.6±2.3, respectively; the number of feces(grains) was 1.6±0.7(P<0.0001), 1.2±0.4(P<0.0001), 2.4±0.5(P<0.001) and 3.8±0.8, respectively. In the novel object recognition test, the scores of exploring new objects were 71.3±29.5(P<0.05), 71.8±20.5(P<0.05), 75.9±26.9(P<0.01) and 25.6±23.7, respectively. In the Barnes maze test, the time of exploring the target hole in the IVIG-8 group was significantly longer than that in the control on the 6^th day(50.3±19.3 vs 21±14.6, P<0.05) and the 13^th day(58.2±20.9 vs 19.2±15.9, P<0.005), but there was no significant difference between the IVIG-1, 6 groups and the control. 【Conclusion】 There is a significant difference in the level of Aβ40/42 antibody among 8 kinds of domestic IVIG. Domestic IVIG could improve the cognitive function of 3-month-old 3xTg-AD mice after continuous intervention for 3 months. The improvement effect, however, was related to the Aβ antibody in IVIG, but not to the antibody concentration.

【Objective】 To obtain the quality information of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in coagulation factor Ⅷ (FⅧ) concentrates in China. 【Methods】 FⅧ concentrates produced by 7 domestic blood product manufactures and 1 foreign manufacture were collected, then FⅧ and vWF contained in FⅧ concentrates were evaluated. 【Results】 The activity loss of vWF was more than 25% in 2 of the 7 domestic FⅧ concentrates. The ratio of vWF activity to FⅧ activity in FⅧ concentrates from different domestic manufactures was significantly different (P<0.05). The ratio in FⅧ concentrates prepared by C, D, F manufacturer was greater than 1, which was similar to that in willate^@ approved abroad for the treatment of vWD. The ratio in FⅧ concentrates prepared by E manufacturer was greater than 0.7 and less than 1, and by A, B, G manufacturers was less than 0.5. In addition, the specific activities of FⅧ and vWF were significantly different among different FⅧ concentrates in China (P<0.05), and the specific activities of FⅧ and vWF were much lower than that of willate^@. 【Conclusion】 The variation of vWF quality between domestic FⅧ concentrates and willate^@ is mainly due to the different in vWF content. After the comprehensive consideration of various indicators, the FⅧ concentrates made by C and D manufacturers may be used in the treatment of vWD.

【Objective】 To investigate the level of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) related indexes in plasma donors from longevity area, and explore its influencing factors. 【Methods】 1 027 plasma donors from longevity hotspot (Bama, Guangxi province) and 1 816 donors from non-longevity region (Shimen, Hunan province) who donated plasma during June to November 2018 were randomly selected. Triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLC), apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1), apolipoprotein B (Apo-B), and fructosamine (FUN) of the two groups were measured and statistically analyzed. 【Results】 Compared with the non-longevity region group, the TG, TC and FUN levels of longevity hotspot group were lower (1.41±0.96 vs 2.31±1.28, 3.89±0.92 vs 4.04±0.82, 176.65±26.60 vs 200.33±34.19; all P<0.05), but HDLC, LDLC, Apo-A1 and Apo-B levels were higher (1.11±0.32 vs 0.96±0.25, 2.53±0.70 vs 2.29±0.56, 1.56±0.28 vs 1.23±0.18, 0.80±0.27 vs 0.72±0.19; all P<0.05). The yield (%) of high TG(12.0 vs 40.01) and FUN(0.58 vs 2.48), low HDLC(24.63 vs 43.90) and Apo-A1(1.66 vs 22.56) were lower in longevity area than those in non-longevity region (all P<0.05), but high LDLC(2.73 vs 0.28) and Apo-B(4.09 vs 0.22) yield(%) were higher in longevity area group ( P<0.05). The levels of TC, HDLC, LDLC, Apo-A1 and Apo-B were significantly different by ages (all P < 0.01), presenting positively correlated with age, significantly by gender and nationality, and slightly by blood type. 【Conclusion】 The ASCVD indexes of plasma donors from Bama were different from those from Shimen. Age, nationality, gender and blood type of donors from Bama all had a certain influence on these indexes levels.

【Objective】 To explore the risk of Alzheimer′s disease (AD) transmitted by blood transfusion. 【Methods】 There were 10 APP/PS1 mice of 3, 6 and 9 months old, half female and half male, and the cognitive and behavioral abilities of C57 mice of the same age were measured, and the blood of the oldest APP/PS1 mice with no behavioral changes were collected to detect the contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42. The polymers Aβ40 and Aβ42 were prepared and Western blotting analysis was conducted. Kunming mice aged from 6 to 7 months were randomly divided into 6 groups (10 mice/ group, half male and half female). The blood of APP/PS1 mice was injected intravenously in experimental group 1-2(100 μL/mouse) with high frequency injection (3 times/week) and low frequency injection (1 time/week), respectively. In experimental group 3-4, Aβ40 and Aβ42 polymerized mixture (100 μL/mouse) were injected in high frequency and low frequency, respectively. The control group 1-2 was injected with the same amount of normal saline, with high frequency and low frequency, respectively. The above groups were injected for 4 weeks, and the cognitive and behavioral abilities were tested and analyzed one week after injection. Finally, the contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42 in blood of Kunming mice were detected. 【Results】 Change in cognitive and behavioral ability showed in 9 months old APP/PS1 mice, but not in 3 and 6 months old APP/PS1 mice. The contents of Aβ40 and Aβ42 (pg/mL) in blood of 6-7 months old APP/PS1 mice were 418.40±2.18 and 15.68±0.20, respectively. Except for monomers, most of the polymerized mixtures of Aβ40 and Aβ42 were dimers and trimers. In both high frequency and low frequency, Kunming mice transfused with blood of APP/PS1 mice (experimental group 1-2) showed a certain degree of anxiety-like behavior and short-term memory shortening in open-field test and conditioned fear test, but without significant difference. There was no significant difference in open field test, new object recognition, Barnes maze and cognitive behavior analysis of conditioned fear between experimental group 3-4 and the control group. The levels of blood Aβ40 and Aβ42(pg/mL) of Kunming mice detected by ELISA were 10.30±0.08 and 3.360±0.005, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the two groups. 【Conclusion】 Blood transfusion of APP/PS1 mice and the mixture of Aβ40 and Aβ42 have no significant effect on the cognitive function of healthy Kunming mice in a short time, and the risk of AD transmission is relatively low.
