3.Sortase:New Target Enzyme in Gram-positive Pathogens
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(09):-
Many surface proteins of Gram-positive bacteria are anchored to the cell wall by the action of sortase enzymes, a recently discovered family of cysteine transpeptidases. As the surface proteins of pathogens are frequently required for virulence, the sortase might be a suitable target for the development of anti-Gram-positive drugs. Recently, the mechanism and active sites of sortase was elucidated by the research of sortaseA(SrtA) in Staphylococcus aureus and a series of SrtA inhibitors have been identified for providing the basis for further development of potent inhibitors.

5.Effect of Colored Noise on Circadian Oscillation and Internal Signal Stochastic Resonance in Biological Clock System
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2006;0(01):-
The effect of colored noise on circadian oscillation and internal signal stochastic resonance(ISSR) has been studied in a Neurospora circadian clock system. The result shows that the correlation time of colored noise can affect strongly the strength of ISSR. For the case of no external signal(ES), the correlation time of colored noise plays a suppressive role for ISSR, and the suppressive role is increased with the increment of correlation time of colored noise. When the ES is injected to the system, with the increasing of the correlation time of colored noise, not only its suppressive role for ISSR is increased, but also the single peak ISSR can be transformed as internal single stochastic bi-resonance (ISSBR). There exists an optimal frequency of ES for the ISSR information amplification, while the ISSR is suppressed for another frequency of ES. In contrast to external colored noise, internal colored noise is more efficient to sustain and amplify the ISSR information. Furthermore, there exists a critical noise intensity for destroying the difference between white and colored noises.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of enhanced immunosuppressive therapy in the treatment of refractory nephrotic syndrome (RNS). METHODS:Totally 76 RNS patients were selected from 2 hospitals during Jan. 2012-Mar. 2015,and then divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 38 cases in each group. Two groups were given Prednisone acetate tablet 50 mg,qd;decreasing to 15 mg,qd,after urine protein returned to normal. Based on it,control group was given Leflunomide tablets 50 mg,qd;decreasing to 20 mg,qd,3 days later. Based on con-trol group,observation group was additionally given Mycophenolate mofetil dispersible tablet 750 mg,bid;decreasing to 500 mg, qd,3 months later. Both groups were treated for 6 months. Clinical efficacies,follow-up recurrence rate as well as renal function in-dexes and inflammatory cell factors before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RE-SULTS:The total response rate of observation group(92.11%)was significantly higher than control group(73.68%),and fol-low-up recurrence rate(5.26%)was significantly lower than control group(23.68%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Be-fore treatment,there was no statistical significance in renal function indexes or inflammatory cell factors between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,24 h urinary protein quantification,urinary IL-6 and IL-8 levels of 2 groups decreased significantly,while the content of serum protein increased significantly;the observation group was significantly better than the control group,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the content of serum creatinine between 2 groups before and after treatment(P>0.05). The incidence of ADR in the control group and the observation group was 34.21% and 44.74% respec-tively,without statistical significance between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Enhanced immunosuppressive therapy in the treatment of RNS can improve renal function,reduce inflammatory reaction and long-term recurrence risk,and have good therapeu-tic efficacy and safety.

Objective To report the clinical results of treatment of tarsometatarsal joint injuries by close reduction and percutaneous screw fixation. Methods From January 2003 to June 2005, 26 cases of tarsometatarsal joint injuries were treated with close reduction and percutaneous screw fixation. They were 13 cases of middle column injury, seven cases of medial-middle column injury and six cases of three-column injury according to Myerson’ s classification. Results In this series all the wounds healed primarily with a mean operative time of 40 min ( 30 to 70 min) and a mean incision length of 5 mm. A mean follow-up of 11.4 months (ranging from 6 to 17 months) revealed a mean score of 87 according to American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) midfoot scoring system. All the patients returned to normal daily life after a mean time of 5.3 months (3 to 11 months). Conclusions Tarsometatarsal joint injuries can be treated well by close reduction and percutaneous screw fixation with less operative lesion and lower incidence of soft tissue complications. Reduction of the middle column with screw insertion along the direction of the Lisfranc ligament is the key to reestablishment of the stability of the tarsometatarsal joint complex.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that bone morphogenetic proteins play a key role in skeletal development. Platelet-rich plasma alone in animal or clinical trials cannot significantly promote bone graft healing.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the osteogenesis effect of bone morphogenetic protein-4 compounded with platelet-rich plasma the bone defect area.
METHODTwenty-four New Zealand white rabbits were selected to establish maxil ary bone defect models, and then were randomly divided into four groups, six rats in each group. Group A was blank control group;Group B wasβ-tricalcium phosphate (0.1 g)+Bio-gide group;group C wasβ-tricalcium phosphate (0.1 g)+Bio-gide+platelet-rich plasma (1 mL) group;and group D wasβ-tricalcium phosphate (0.1 g)+Bio-gide+platelet-rich plasma (1 mL)+bone morphogenetic protein-4 (5μg). Gross observation, histological observation and imaging analysis were performed for analysis of new bone formation at weeks 4, 8, 12 after modeling.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 4 weeks, group D had more new bone and vessels formed in the bone defect area than the group B (P<0.01);however, the amount of new bone was higher in the group B than the group A (P<0.01). After 4, 8, 12 weeks, the amount of new bone in the bone defect area was higher in the group D than the groups B and C (P<0.01), and lowest in the group A (P<0.01). In theβ-tricalcium phosphate scaffold, platelet-rich plasma combined with bone morphogenetic protein can significantly promote the healing of bone defects.
