Protein fulfilling the their roles, one of important ways is through protein-protein interaction. In functional genomic era, identifying all of protein-protein interaction in proteome and mapping the protein interactions that have been attracting many scientists' attention , of which large-scale yeast two-hybrid system is one strategy of most widely used. In recent two years, ambitious projects have launched to examine all of the protein-protein interaction in Saccharomyces cer-evisiae using large-scale yeast two-hybrid system. Nevertheless, huge protein network is larger than that we predict and single yeast two-hybrid system cannot solve all the problems, which need be complemented by other wags.

Objective To find the best cut point of FPG to predict diabetes(DM) and impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) and to study its effects on the metabolism status.Methods The ROC analysis of FPG in 3189 citizens from some area of Chongqing without a previous history of diabetes was done by OGTT in a cross-section study.The metabolic features of impaired glucose regulation(IGR) and its subcategories were analyzed according to 5.6 mmol/L and 6.1 mmol/L as the FPG threshold for IFG.Results The areas under the ROC curve were 0.899 for diabetes and 0.728 for IGT.The cut point of FPG with the best equilibrium between sensitivity and specificity was 5.6 mmol/L for diabetes and 5.2 mmol/L for IGT.Among people whose 2 hPG

Objective To study the expression of Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR-2) and caspase-3 in the intestine of premature rats with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC),and to explore the protective effects and possible regulatory mechanism of glutamine (Gln) in the NEC.Methods Sixty premature rats (gestational age 21 d) were divided into three groups (n = 20 each) according to the random number table: control group,model group and Gln intervention group.Rats in model group were given formula feeding,hypoxia and cold stress.Rats in Gln intervention group were given Gln 0.3 g/kg to the formula feeding,hypoxia and cold stress.All the premature rats were sacrificed and the intestine tissues were obtained on the third day after birth.The histological changes of ileal tissues were scored after HE staining.The expression of TLR-2 and caspase-3 in jejunum,ileum and colon were detected by inmunohistochemistry,and the expression of TLR-2 mRNA in jejunum,ileum and colon were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Results Pathology score of ileum in model group,Gln intervention group and control group were 3.10 ±0.99,2.40 ± 0.69 and 0.30 ±0.48,respectively.The expressions of TLR-2 protein in ileum were 2.53±0.94,2.15±0.82 and 1.57 ± 0.62 in the three groups respectively,and the expression of caspase-3 protein were 2.83 ± 0.45,2.70 ± 0.04 and 0.91 ± 0.29.The content of TLR2 mRNA in model group was 1.46 times higher than that of Gln intervention group and was 2.10 times higher than that of control group.Compared with the control group,the pathology score,expression of TLR-2 and caspase-3 protein,and TLR-2 mRNA in model group were significantly higher,P＜0.01.However,compared with the model group,those changes were improved in Gln intervention group,P＜0.05.Expression of TLR-2 mRNA positively correlated to the expression of caspase-3 protein (r=0.71,P＜0.01) and pathology score (r = 0.69,P＜ 0.01).Expression of caspase-3 protein positively correlated to the intestine injury pathology score (r=0.81,P＜0.01).Conclusions TLR-2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of NEC.Gln might reduce the expression of TLR-2 in the intestine,and decrease the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells to protect the intestine of preterm birth rats.

Objective To investigate the imaging diagnosis and surgical treatment of intestinal malrotation in adult patients. Methods The clinical data of 11 adult patients with intestinal malrotation who had been admitted to General Hospital of PLA from January 2003 to December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Multiple imaging modalities, including barium enema, gastrointestinal radiography, B sonography, computed tomography (CT) scan and mesenteric angiography were applied for diagnosis. All patients received Ladd procedure. Results Two patients were diagnosed by gastrointestinal radiography +B sonography, 4 by gastrointestinal radiography +CT scan, 1 by angiography, 1 by B sonography + CT scan, 1 by iodine radiography + CT scan and 2 by intraopera-tive examination. After the operation, 2 had renal insufficiency, 1 had intestinal fistula and 1 had short bowel syndrome and died at the third month after operation. Conclusion Combined application of multiple imaging modalities can improve the diagnostic rate, and Ladd procedure is effective and safe for adult patients with intes-tinal malrotation.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of argatroban in the treatment of progressive cerebral infarction.Methods Three hundred hospitalized patients with progressive cerebral infarction from October 2006 to September 2011 were collected,among which 150 cases who agreed to the use of argatroban as experimental group,and 150 cases who didn' t agree to the use of argatroban for economic reasons as control group.Experimental group was treated with venous argatroban.It was 60 mg/d within the first 2 days and 24 h continuous intravenous drip.From the beginning of the 3rd day,the dosage was changed to 10 mg each time,twice a day for 5 days.Additionally,75 mg clopidogrel was given once a day for 12 days.Control group was only treated with 75 mg clopidogrel once a day for 14 days.The degree of neurological deficit was compared using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scoring and the rehabilitation condition was evaluated by Barthel index (BI) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scoring between 2 groups before treatment and 3 d,14 d,30 d and 90 d after treatment respectively,and further compared to patients with large artery stenosis and anterior or posterior circulation infarction.The indexes of coagulation function of 2 groups were monitored meanwhile.Results The degree of neurological deficit was significantly improved in the short term (before treatment:NIHSS 15.19 ± 2.70,after treatment of 3 d 10.75 ±2.09,t =2.l14,P =0.037 ;14 d 8.77 ± 1.50,t =2.092,P =0.039;30 d 6.89 ± 0.79,t =2.520,P =0.013 ;90 d 4.85 ± 0.38,t =2.723,P =0.008),and the activities of daily living were significant enhanced in the experimental group (after treatment of 30 d BI 70.89 ± 12.69,90 d 88.16 ± 11.96,90 d mRS 1.57 + 0.39) when compared with the control group (after treatment of 30 d BI 60.26 ± 11.85,t =2.292,P=0.023;90 d 69.90 ± 12.63,t =2.790,P =0.006;90 d mRS 2.14 ±0.52,t =2.124,P =0.035).For large artery stenosis or posterior circulation infarction,the efficacy of argatroban was better.The indexes of coagulation function were in the normal range both before and after medication.No serious adverse reaction occurred during treatment.Conclusion Argatroban which has a higher security probably improves the prognosis and reduces the disability of patients with progressive cerebral infarction.

This study was designed to investigate inhibitory effects and possible mechanisms of snake venom tripeptide (pENW) on platelet adhesion in order to promote the development of a novel anti-platelet therapy. To study the inhibitory effects of pENW on platelet adhesion, washed platelets pre-incubated with pENW (116.5-466.2 μmol x L(-1)) were used to test the ability of platelet adhesion to fibrinogen. Effect of pENW on fibrin clot retraction was also tested. Effect of pENW on platelets viability was tested by MTT assay. Effect of pENW on reactive-oxygen species (ROS) levels of platelet was studied by flow cytometry assay. Calcium mobilization in Fura-2/AM-loaded platelets was monitored with a spectrofluorimeter. Cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), thromboxane A2 (determined as its metabolite thromboxane B2) were measured using enzyme immunoassay kits. Akt, ERK and p38 phosphorylation were tested by Western blot. The results showed that pENW inhibited platelet adhesion and fibrin clot retraction in a concentration-dependent manner without cytotoxicity. Intracellular cGMP and cAMP in both resting and thrombin-activated platelets were increased by pENW. In addition, pENW attenuated intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and TXA2 production in platelets stimulated by thrombin. As shown by Western blot assay, Akt, ERK and p38 phosphorylation in thrombin-induced platelet were attenuated by pENW. However, inhibitory effects of pENW had nothing to do with ROS. Thus, pENW exhibited a significant inhibition on platelet adhesion to fibrinogen, which means pENW could block the first step of thrombosis as while as retard the more stable clot formation. The mechanisms of pENW on inhibition platelet adhesion might be related to instant regulations, such as protein kinases.
