To counteract the immune system in parasitic hosts, some viruses encode proteins to suppress the RNA interference (RNAi) effect. In this report, we established two RNAi systems to be easily observed with strong and obvious effect. The function of the P19 of tomato bushy stunt virus, which suppresses RNAi in mammal cells, was then studied using these two systems. Short hairpin RNAs targeting green fluorescence protein (pshRNA-GFP) and firefly luciferase (pshRNA-luc) were designed and inserted into a eukaryotic transcriptional vector pTZU6+1, respectively. The shRNA expressing vectors were co-transfected with plasmids containing the target gene with or without P19. The GFP expression level was assayed by fluorescence microscopy, Western blotting and RT-PCR. The luciferase expression level was analyzed by the dual-luciferase assay system. pshRNA designed in this study down-regulated the target gene specifically and efficiently, with a decrease of expression of both genes of about 70%, respectively. When P19 was introduced into the RNAi systems, the expression of both GFP and the luciferase were mostly recovered compared with the control groups. The RNAi systems of GFP and luciferase were constructed successfully, demonstrating that P19 of tomato bushy stunt virus has the ability to counteract the RNAi effect induced by shRNA in mammal cells.

Objective To study the different ultrasonic features in patients of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with or without obesity based on body mass index (BMI), and to investigate whether certain hormonal factors correlate with ovarian morphology and blood flow, and to discuss the role of ultrasound combined with hormone test in the diagnosis of obese PCOS. Methods One hundred and five women with PCOS were recruited. Patients were divided into two groups according to BMI;obese PCOS group (OB-PCOS, n=32, BMI≥25 kg/m2) and non-obese PCOS (NOB-PCOS, n=73, BMI<25 kg/m2). The ultrasonic parameters of follicle number (FN), ovarian volume (Vol), resistance index (RI) of ovarian stromal blood, RI of uterine artery and serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the ratio of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone (LH/FSH), progesterone (P), estradiol (E2), free testosterone (FT), prolactin (PRL), sex hormoe binding globulin (SHBG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), the extent of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism (HOMA-IR) were measured and compared. The correlation of the ultrasonic parameters and hormonal factors were analyzed. Results The Vol of OB-PCOS group was significantly higher than NOB-PCOS group [(12.25±4.89) ml vs (10.73±2.30) ml, t=2.20, P < 0.05]. FN and uterine artery RI of OB-PCOS group had a rising trend and RI of ovarian interstitial was on a reducing trend compared with NOB-PCOS group. But the differences were not statistically significant. The levels of FINS and HOMA-IR in OB-PCOS group [(14.82±6.45) mU/L and (3.91±3.30)] were significantly higher than those in NOB-PCOS group [(8.04±4.57) mU/L and (1.64±1.20)] (t=4.87, 3.47, respectively, both P < 0.01). And FSH in NOB-PCOS group was significantly higher than OB-PCOS group [(5.95±1.91) U/L vs (4.65±1.88) U/L, t=-2.77, P<0.01]. In POCS patients, FN was significantly associated with LH/FSH (r=0.35, P<0.01), and FT (r=0.38, P<0.01). Vol was significantly associated with LH/FSH, BMI, HOMA-IR and FPG (r=0.27, P<0.05;r=0.25, P<0.05;r=0.40, P<0.01;r=0.32, P<0.01). RI of ovarian stromal blood flow was significantly associated with SHBG (r=0.28, P<0.05). In OB-POCS group, RI of uterine artery was significantly associated with PRL (r=-0.58, P < 0.05). Vol was significantly associated with HOMA-IR (r=0.47, P < 0.05). In NOB-POCS group, FN was significantly associated with LH/FSH (r=0.33, P<0.05), and FT (r=0. 56, P<0.05). Vol was significantly associated with FT (r=0.31, P < 0.05). Conclusion There are some differences in the ultrasound and endocrine parameters between obese and non-obese PCOS patients, and some correlations exist between them.

BACKGROUND: Surface roughness of implants can directly influence cellular proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression. OBJECTIVE: To observe the early attachment of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) to pure titanium with different surface roughness levels, and to study the effect of surface performance on cell differentiation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled observation/multi-sample comparison study, which was performed at Center of Science and Technology, Gannan Medical College between January 2005 and July 2006. MATERIALS: Pure titanium stick was cut into pieces, of 10 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness, using cutting-off machine, and there were 24 sections in total. Then, the titanium sections were randomly divided into four groups: simple mechanical processing, nitric acid processing, sand blasting processing, and combination group, with 6 sections per group. METHODS: TR240 portable-type surface roughness meter was used in this study. In the simple mechanical processing group, sections were scoured by sand paper alone; in the nitric acid processing group, sections were etched with 65% HNO3 for 1 hour at 100 ℃ after scoured by sand paper; in the sand blasting processing group, sections were sandblasted by 100 μ m AI203 after scoured by sand paper; in the combination group, sections were etched with 65% HNO3 for I hour at 100~C after scoured by sand paper and sandblasted by 100 μ m Al2O3. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Samples were maintained in DMEM for 30 minutes, and the third-passage cells were inoculated. Then, titanium sections were taken out at different time points of 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes, 1, 3, and 7 days. Surface roughness and early attachment of PDLCs were detected under fluorescent microscope. RESULTS: O Quantitative analysis: Surface roughness was (599.5±8.3) nm in the simple mechanical processing group, (406.5 +4.6) nm in the nitric acid processing group, (358.8±11.8) nm in the sand blasting processing group, and (8.7±2.0) nm in the combination group. On the other hand, surface roughness in the simple mechanical processing group was significantly higher Fluorescence observation exhibited that number of PDLCs attaching to pure titanium surface was increased, and the proliferation was greater with the time passing by. in addition, surface roughness of pure titanium was positively associated with number of PDLCs. CONCLUSION: The lighter the surface roughness is, the more the early attachment of PDLCs is, benefiting for cell adhesion and proliferation.

Objective To investigate the application value and effect of lung vascular and lesion positioning guided by Doppler ultrasound in the operation of thoracoscopic lobectomy. Methods Thirty cases of experimental pigs were randomly divided into A, B and C three groups. The group A was operated by conventional thoracoscope for upper right lobectomy, and group B was operated by thoracoscope for upper right lobectomy which guided by Doppler ultrasound cavity prober. Then, the operation time, blood loss and materials costs were compared between the two groups. The group C was used to establish the model of lung cancer and CT scanning was used to indicate the lung lesions. During operation, lesions were positioned by Doppler ultrasound and wedge resections were performed under thoracoscope. Then, the pulmonary lobectomy guided by ultrasound and mediastinal lymph nodes dissection were performed. At last, the coincidence rate of intraoperative ultrasound and CT location was analyzed statistically. Results There were significant differences in operation time between Groups A and B ( < 0.01), while no significant differences in blood loss and material costs ( >0.05) . In group C, lesion location positioning guided by ultrasound during the operation was completely consistent with guided by CT before the operation. No significant differences in the lesion diameter were observed between ultrasound and CT methods ( > 0.05) . Conclusion With the application of Doppler ultrasound, the invisible and untouchable blood vessel can become visible and can be positioned in precise to shorten the time of thoracoscopic lobectomy. In addition, the accurate positioning of tiny lesions in the lung can solve the problem of lung small lesion positioning which is difficult in the operation under thoracoscope. Therefore, it can be promoted in clinical applications in a wide range.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effectiveness and safety of different doses of rosuvastatin in the treatment of acute ce-rebral infarction. METHODS:Totally 120 patients with acute cerebral infarction were selected from Weifang Yidu Central Hospital during Jan. 2014-Dec. 2015,and then divided into observation group and control group according to admission order,with 60 cas-es in each group. Both groups received routine treatment as Shuxuening injection 10 mL,iv,1-2 times a day(or 20 mL added into 5% Glucose injection 250-500 mL,ivgtt,qd)+Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 0.1 g,po,qd. Control group and observation group were additionally given Rosuvastatin calcium tablets 10 mg and 20 mg,po,qd(after supper). Both groups were treated for 30 d. The levels of serum inflammatory factors(hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6),blood lipid indexes(TC,TG,LDL-C),neurological function and activity of daily life score were observed in 2 groups before and after treatment. The clinical efficacy and occurrence of ADR were recorded. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of hs-CRP,TNF-α,IL-6,TC,TG and LDL-C,NIHSS scores and Barthel index (BI) scores between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,the levels of hs-CRP, TNF-α,IL-6,TC,TG and LDL-C,NIHSS scores in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while BI scores were decreased signifi-cantly,observation group were significantly better than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Total re-sponse rate of observation group (93.33%) was significantly higher than that of control group (86.67%),with statistical signifi-cance (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in observation group (23.33%) was significantly higher than control group (6.67%), with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Rosuvastatin can significantly reduce the inflammatory reaction and blood lipid level of patients with acute cerebral infarction,inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaque and improve prognosis. The large dose of rosuvastatin have better efficacy for acute cerebral infarction and can significantly improve the symptom of neurologi-cal deficits and daily living ability of patients.
