Objective To construct the bicistronic retroviral vectors containing GFP gene and human survivin gene(wildtype and T34A mutant). Methods Survivin fragments were amplified from eukaryotic expression vectors by PCR, then cloned into pMIG retroviral vectors. The constructed recombinant was identified by double digestion with restriction enzymes. The constructed retroviral vectors was transfected into Phoenix E package cells under mediation of liposome. The expression of mRNA was examined by RT-PCR and the transcription of gene was determined by FACS analysis of GFP. Results The target fragments were successfully bound to pMIG vector. After the vectors were transfected into NIH3T3 cells, the expression of mRNA was confirmed by RT-PCR and the expression of GFP was confirmed by FACS analysis. Conclusion Human survivin gene wildtype and T34A mutant retroviral vectors have been constructed successfully, which can provide strong molecular tools for further studies and a novel approach for selective cancer gene therapy.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate distribution and resistance of pathogens in patients with pulmonary infection after abdominal operation by stages,and provide reference to select antibiotics in clinics.METHODS Forty five patients with pulmonary infection after abdominal operation were included from Jan 2004 to Sep 2007.Their course was divided into 3 stages: onset stage,middle stage and last stage,at every stage to identify pathogens and to test drug sensitivity and the sputa and broncho-alveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were sampled.RESULTS A total of 189 strains of pathogens were isolated,from them 110(58.2%)were Gram-negative bacilli including Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae;and 59(31.2%)were Gram-positive cocci including Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus;and 20(10.6%)were fungi,Candida albicans was the main fungus.At onset stage the most pathogens were Gram-negative bacilli;at middle stage the Gram-positive cocci increased distinctly;and the fungi were detected at middle and last stages.The mixed infection rate was high.The result of drug sensitive test showed that there were high rates of multidrug resistance in P.aeruginosa.The resistance rates of all isolates of Enterobacteriaceae to imipenem or meropenem were 0.The resistance rates of all Gram-positive cocci to linezolid or vancomycin were 0.CONCLUSIONS Distribution of pathogens in patients with pulmonary infection after abdominal operation is different at each stage.The most are multidrug resistant,and rationl use of antibacterial drug in clinics must be based on the distribution and drug-resistance of pathogens.

Objective To prepare a redox-responsive doxorubicin-loaded nanoparticle,and to study its in vitro realease behavior and targeting effect on heptoma cells.Methods Cystamine was grafted on the side chains of hyaluronic acid with 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride/N-hydroxysuccinimide catalyst,and then β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) was conjugated on the amine groups of the cystamine by Schiff's base reaction to prepare β-CD modified hyaluronic acid (HACD).The HACD/DOX nanoparticles were prepared by encapsulating DOX into HACD using dialysis method.The drug loading,encapsulation efficiency,particle size and distribution,zeta potential and other physical and chemical properties,as well as in vitro drug release behavior of the HACD/DOX nanoparticles were characterized.The cytotoxicity of HACD/DOX nanoparticles to HepG2 cells was studied by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method.The targeting effect of HACD/DOX nanoparticles on HepG2 cells was studied using flow cytometry and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM).Results HACD were successfully synthesized,which could carry DOX to form uniform homogeneous nanoparticles.The drug loading of DOX in the nanoparticles was (16.1±0.2)％ and the encapsulation efficiency was (64.2±0.9)％.The transmission electron microscope images indicated that the shape of the HACD/DOX nanoparticles was homogeneous sphere.The results of granularity analysis showed that the average size of the HACD/DOX nanoparticles was (203.1 ±2.5) nm with a narrow size distribution (PDI =0.202).The zeta potential of the HACD/DOX nanoparticles was (-29.1±0.8) mV.The in vitro release behavior of the nanoparticles exhibited obvious redox-sensitivity.The results of in vitro cytotoxicity showed that the blank carrier material HACD had no obvious toxicity to hepatoma cells,and the HACD/DOX nanoparticles could effectively kill hepatoma cells with the 0.38 μg/ml half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) value at 48 h.Flow cytometry and CLSM results demonstrated that the HACD/DOX nanoparticles could target hepatoma cells through the mediating effect of hyaluronic acid.Conclusions The prepared HACD/DOX nanoparticles have suitable particle size,high drug loading and encapsulation efficiency,and can release DOX under the stimulation of reducing agent.These nanoparticles have obvious targeting effect on hepatoma cells,which is expected to be applied as the drug delivery system of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) therapy.

Objective To investigate the myocardial protective effects of trimetazidine by observing the changes of peripheral B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP),cardiac troponin I (cTnI) level in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft (OPCAB), and the clinical significance of peripheral cTnI and BNP in cardiac surgery. Methods One hundred and three OPCAB patients were divided into trimetazidine group (52 cases) and control group (51 cases) by random digits table. The serum levels of BNP and cTnI preoperatively,postoperatively of 24 h, 72 h and 7 d were detected. Results The serum levels of BNP [(224.5 ± 12.0), (331.2 ±22.6), (82.4 ±3.3) ng/L] and cTnI [(0.21 ±0.04), (1.32 ±0.49), (0.26 ±0.04) μ g/L] in trimetazidine group were lower than those in control group [(294.7 ± 11.8 ), ( 383.9 ± 28.3 ),( 112.4 ± 12.5 ) ng/L and ( 1.20 ± 0. 13 ), (2.35 ± 0.54), (0.75 :± 0.21 ) μ g/L] postoperatively of 24 h, 72 h and 7 d (P＜ 0.05 ). The serum levels of BNP and cTnI increasedd at 24 h after operation. The peak level was found at 72 h and remained higher level until 7 d after operation. The baseline levels of BNP were positively correlated with cTnI (r = 0.635,P ＜ 0.05), but negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (r =-0.674,P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Trimetazidine can obviously reduce serum levels of BNP and cTnI in patients undergoing OPCAB. So the united application of serum BNP and cTnI may be as a monitor marker to reflect the cardiac function in patients after OPCAB.
