Objective To establish a method for rapid diagnosis and identification of seven species human herpesviruses infection.Methods Primers and oligonucleotide probes were designed and synthesized based on the highly conserved regions of the DNA polymerase genes in human herpesviruses, namely herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1),HSV-2,varicella-zoster virus (VZV),Epstein-Barr virus (EBV),cytomegalovirus (CMV),and human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6A/6B).DNA microarrays were made by printing the oligonucleotide probes on the special glass slides.A total of 282 blood specimens from children with suspected infection were analyzed by this DNA microarray technique,and the results were compared with those of TaqMan PCR.Results The products of the seven human herpesviruses after PCR amplification could be used to identify the virus species with DNA microarrays.The detection limits were 10 copies/?l for HSV-1,HSV-2,VZV,EBV,CMV,HHV-6A,and HHV-6B,respectively.The assay did not show cross-reaction to the DNA extract of hepatitis B virus,staphylococcus aureus,E.coli,Candia albicans and human genome.Among the 282 samples,59 were positive for human herpesviruses DNA.Compared with those of TaqMan PCR,the sensitivity and specificity of the microarray assay were 96.7% and 99.5%,respectively,and the index of accurate diagnosis was 0.962.Conclusions This DNA microarray for identifying human herpesviruses species is specific and sensitive,and may serve as an efficient technique for simultaneous detection and species identification of human herpesviruses in clinical specimen.

Objective To explore the feasibility of using human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells to repair sciatic nerve defects of rats by tissue engineering methods. Methods Mesenchymal stem cells from human umbilical cord were cultured and induced into neuron-liked cells,which were co-cultured with acellular basal lamina tube to construct tissue engineering nerve;models of sciatic nerve defects 10 mm in length were set up with thirty healthy adult SD rats and were divided randomly into 3 groups:tissue engineering nerve group (group A, compound of human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells and acellular basal lamina tube), pure acellular basal lamina tube group (group B), and autogenous nerve bridging group (group C). Evaluation of electrophysiological and histological results was carried out 10 weeks after operation. Results The engineering nerve group had good result in nerve regeneration which was close to the effect of autogenous nerve transfer group (group A), and much better than the effect of pure acellular basal lamina tube group. Conclusion Engineering nerves from human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells can effectively repair 10 mm defects of sciatic nerve.

Objective To improve the speed and accuracy of bacteria detection, and develop the test of 16S rRNA genes PCR amplification plus gene chip hybridization to diagnose neonatal sepsis. Methods Bacterial 16S rRNA genes were detected in blood and CSF samples of 125 suspected neonatal sepsis, and the results were compared with blood culture, CSF culture, and non-specific diagnostic parameters (WBC, PLT, CRP). 30 non-infectious neonates were regarded as the negative control group. Gene chip test were performed by extraction of DNA, primers and probes design, PCR amplification, preparation of gene chip, hybridization, laser scan and reading of the results. 18 specific probes, including universal 1, universal 2, Gram positive bacterial probe, Gram negative bacterial probe 1, Gram negative bacterial probe 2, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, CoNS (Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus), Escherichia coli, Haemophilus influenzae, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus agalactiae, Bacteroides fragilis, Bacillus, Meningococcus, Corynebacterium, Propionibacterium, were used in the test. Results The positive rate of PCR test was 51.2% in 125 blood samples, and was significantly higher than the positive blood culture (25.6%), or the indicator of two abnormal non-specific parameters (32.8%) (P

Objective To explore a rapid diagnostic method in neonatal sepsis and bacterial me- ningitis. Methods The primers and TaqMan probes were designed and synthesized based on the sequences of bacterial 16S rRNA gene. Nineteen bacterial strains, 3 different viruses, fungus and human genomic DNA were tested by FQ-PCR assay. Blood specimens and CSF from 195 cases of suspected septicemia were detected with both TaqMan PCR assay and blood or/and CSF culture. Results The FQ-PCR showed very high sensitivity and specificity and was able to detect at least 10 copies of 16S rRNA gene equivalent to 1~2 copies bacterium. No cross-reaction was found with human genomic DNA, other fungus and viruses. Among the 195 cases, the positive rate by FQ-PCR was 12.8%(25 cases) and 7.1%(15 cases) by blood culture ( P

AIM: To investigate the effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on cultured anoxic-reoxygenation human umbilical vein endothelial cells. METHODS:In the present experiment, an anoxic-reoxygenation model was established by using cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. The uptake rate of trypan-blue and calcium and magnesium contents of endothelial cells and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) activity in medium and malondialdhyde (MDA) content of endothelial cells were measured 60,120 and 180 min after anoxia and 30 and 60 min after reoxygenation, and the effects of 1?10 -8 mol/L CGRP on anoxic-reoxygenation endothelial cells were studied. RESULTS: The findings showed that, as anoxia prolonged, the uptake rate of trypan-blue and LDH activity and MDA content gradually elevated and, during reoxygenation, these parameters sharply increased. Calcium and magnesium levels gradually declined as anoxia prolonged, and during reoxygenation calcium content significantly increased. Meanwhile, 1?10 -8 mol/L CGRP might significantly reduce the uptake rate of trypan-blue and LDH activity and MDA content during anoxia and reoxygenation and lessen the increase in calcium content and the loss of magnesium during reoxygenation. CONCLUSION: These results showed that CGRP might have a direct protective function to endothelial cells afflicted with anoxic-reoxygenation injury by inhibiting lipid peroxidation, attenuating calcium overload and loss of magnesium and enzyme.

AIM: To understand the effect of the RB1 gene mutation on the function of pRB (the protein product of the RB1 gene) in the patients with retinoblastoma (RB). METHODS: The genomic DNA from retinoblastoma patients was extracted. After amplification, the promoter and all 27 exons were screened by SSCP-heteroduplex method. The mutation was cloned and identified by sequencing. The effect of the mutation product on the function of pRB was analyzed. RESULTS: One missense mutations of the exon 4 of the RB1 gene was identified in the genomic DNA from RB patients. This mutation was outside the large pocket of the pRB. No mutation of the RB1 gene was found in the genome DNA of the patient's parents. This is the fourth report that there was a genome mutation located outside the large pocket of pRB in the RB patients. CONCLUSION: The amino-terminus of the pRB may be essential for growth suppression.
