Objective To express recombinant chicken interleukin 2 (IL-2) in Pichia yeast eukaryotic cell expression system for a massive preparation of chicken IL-2. Methods Spleen lymphocytes taken from Xiaoshan chicken were activated by ConA in vitro. Chicken IL-2 gene was amplified and cloned into pPIC9. The pPIC9-IL-2 was transformed into Pichia yeast by electroporation. The recombinants were induced by methanol for the expression of recombinant protein. Results The protein was examined with SDS-PAGE and Western bloting. A specific molecular weight band at about 30 ku appeared. Conclusion The recombinant protein of chicken IL-2 has been expressed in Pichia yeast.

[Objective] To detect the expression of CD137L mRNA and protein in colorectal cancer tissues and discuss its possible clinical significance.[Methods] To detect the expression of CD137L mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues by real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry and to analyze the relationship between CD137L expression and clinical features.[Results] The mean level of CD137L mRNA in colorectal cancer tissues is significantly higher than that of adjacent noncancerous tissues (0.035 ± 0.013 vs.0.008 ± 0.005,P < 0.05 ).CD137L mRNA expression in colorectal cancer show no significant differences among different age,sex,tumor location,Dukes classification,histological differentiation,and serum levels of CEA.We selected 8 colorectal cancer tissues and 3 adjacent tissues randomly to analyze the expression of CD137L by immunohistochemistry.CD137L was expressed on tumor cells in colorectal cancer tissues.The expression of CD137L was observed only in colorectal cancer tissues (6/8),but not in adjacent noncancerous tissues (0/3).[Conclusions] The expression of CD137L Mrna in colorectal cancer tissues is higher than that of adjacent noncancerous tissues and CD137 is expressed on tumor cell surface,it might be of biological importance for the progression of colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of blood concentration monitoring of cylosporin A(CsA) in patients with nephrotic syndrome(NS)on efficacy and safety. METHODS:The medical records of 154 NS patients receiving CsA and blood concentration monitoring in nephrology department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital during Jan. 2014-Aug. 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The results of blood concentration monitoring in 63 adult inpatients with refractory NS receiving CsA for the first time within 6 months of initial treatment were analyzed statistically. The relationship of blood concentration monitoring with efficacy and safety was analyzed. RESULTS:The blood concentration of CsA in 154 patients were monitored for 512 times with an average of 3.32 times/person,and average blood concentration was(125.98±105.13)ng/mL. The patients with blood concentration of CsA<100 ng/mL accounted for 44.14%. There was no statistical significance in average monitoring times or average blood concentration between male and female,average blood concentration of CsA among different age groups (P>0.05). The blood concentration was monitored for 237 times in 63 adult inpatients with refractory NS receiving CsA for the first time within 6 months of initial treatment(induction period). Average blood concentration of effective group were significantly higher than ineffective group;the proportion of effective group with blood concentration<100 ng/mL was significantly lower than that of ineffective group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Among 63 patients,17 patients suffered from ADR (the incidence of ADR was 26.98%). The average blood concentrations of ADR patients were significantly higher than those without ADR;the monitoring times of ADR patients with blood concentration>150 ng/mL was significantly higher than those without ADR,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between effective group and ineffective group (P>0.05). Among effective group,there was no statistically significance in average blood concentration between ADR patients and patients without ADR(P>0.05);the monitoring times of ADR patients with blood concentration>150 ng/mL was significantly higher than patients without ADR,with statistical significance(P<0.05). With the increase of monitoring times,the incidence of ADR decreased gradually. There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among patients who were monitored for different times (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The pharmacokinetics of CsA varies in different patients and many factors affect its blood concentration. The changes of blood concentration affect the efficacy and safety of CsA. It is difficult to determine the dosage of CsA based on experience in the treatment of NS with CsA. Great importance should be attached to blood concentration monitoring of CsA and the implementation of individualized dosage regimen based monitoring results so as to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce the occurrence of ADR.

PET serves as one of the most advanced imaging modalities,and its development depends on the improvement of radiotracers.Among numerous positron isotopes,18 F appears to be the best radionuclide candidate for PET radiotracers by virtue of its favorable physical characteristics.18 F-labeled aromatic radiotracers have been widely investigated by researchers due to its special metabolic stability.However, the development and application of 18 F-labeled aromatic radiotracers have been limited due to lacking of radiochemical methods to obtain products with high selectivity,high radioactivity and high purity.This review focuses on the new labeling methods of 18 F-labeled aromatic radiotracers from the aspects of electrophilic and nucleophilic substitution reactions.

Objective To study the effect of noise pollution on serum hormone and heat shock protein-70(Hsp-70)levels in rats. Methods Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group(normal), experimental group(further divided into 35,65 and 85 dB three groups), each group 10 animals, stimulated for 30 min once a day, continually stimulated for consecutive 20 days. On the 21st day of experiment,the serum noradrenaline(NA),testosterone (T),dopamine(DA)and Hsp-70 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Results Compared with the control group, the body weight of experimental group(35, 65 and 85 dB groups)was reduced by 23.45%,30.13%, and 35.64%, respectively The serum T and DA levels were decreased by 9.12%, 20.06%, 37.99% and 15.49%, 8.31%, 24.88%, respectively; while the serum NA and Hsp-70 levels were increased by 35.08%, 171.52%,197.86%, and 39.34%, 195.09%, and 285.25%, respectively. All the result showed a significant difference(P<0.01). Conclusions Noise pollution can significantly affect the serum levels of hormone and heat shock protein-70 expression in rats.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective COX -2 inhibitors for preemptive analgesia in patients undergoing total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA),and to provide evidence -based reference for clinical drug use. METHODS Retrieved from CNKI ,VIP,CBM,Wanfang database ,PubMed,Embase,Scopus,Web of Science and Cochrane library ,randomized controlled trials about selective COX -2 inhibitors for preemptive analgesia combined with post - operative analgesia of THA/TKA (trial group )versus post -operative analgesia (control group )were collected during the inception to February 15,2022. After screening the literature and extracting the data ,the RCT bias risk assessment tool recommended by the Cochrane System Evaluator ’s Manual 5.1.0 was used to evaluate the quality of the included literature . Meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS Six RCTs involving 916 patients were included . The visual analog (VAS)scale scores of pain at rest [MD=-0.20,95%CI(-0.30,-0.10),P<0.000 1],VAS scores of pain at movement [MD=-0.20,95%CI (-0.27,-0.13),P<0.000 01],total consumption of patient controlled analgesia (PCA) [MD=-5.89,95%CI(-8.98, -2.80),P=0.000 2],and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting [RR=0.79,95%CI(0.65,0.95),P=0.01] in trial group were significantly lower than control group . CONCLUSIONS Compared with postoperative administration alone ,preemptive plus postoperative analgesia with selective COX -2 inhibitor can significantly alleviate the early postoperative pain ,reduce the total consumption of PCA and the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting in THA/TKA patients .
