On the basis of the Uncaria transcriptome, specific primers were designed for UrSTR. The full-length cDNA of UrSTR (GeneBank: OL310251) was 1 541 bp, encoding 345 amino acid residues, and the promoter region sequence of UrSTR (GeneBank: OL310252) was 1 179 bp. Phylogenetic tree is revealed that UrSTR had a closest relationship with STR from Ophiorrhiza pumila and Ophiorrhiza japonica. Localization of UrSTR protein is revealed located in the vacuole membrane. Plant-care analysis indicated that the promoter region sequence of UrSTR, covering multiple light, stress and hormone-response cis-regulatory elements, and verified transcriptional activity. The results of SDS-PAGE show that pET-28a-UrSTR recombinant protein was successfully expressed, and the size was anticipated. The UrSTR prokaryotic expression system needs to be optimized in the later stage. The research lays the foundation for further purification to study its structure and functional characterization of the UrSTR protein.

Background and purpose:Five-year survival rate of post-operation patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)is less than 40%.Treatments after recurrence are difficult.Our study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of pemetrexed on postoperative recurrence of NSCLC.Methods:From Jan.2006 to Sep.2008,40 NSCLC with postoperative recurrence were observed.All patients had received pemetrexed(ALIMTA)500 mg/m2 or carboplatin eonbined.Results:Among the 40 patients,partial response in 10 patients(25.00%),stable disease in 19 patients(47.50%),progressive disease in 11 patients(27.50%).The total response rate was 25.00%and clinical benefit control rate was 72.50%.Pemetrexed had significantly better disease control rate in female than in male (9 1.30% vs 47.06%,P=0.034),in adenocarcinoma patients than in non-adenocarcinoma's(87.10% vs 22.22%,P=0.001).Median overall survival time(MST)was 10.70 months.Progression-free survival time(PFS)was 5.18 months.Adenocarcinoma patients had longer PFS than non-adenocarcinoma patients.Conclusion:Pemetrexed demonstrates significant antitumor activity and good tolerance in these patients.

Objective To screen microRNAs(miRNAs)related to early mycosis fungoides(MF). Methods A high?throughput miRNA PCR array was used to determine miRNA expression profiles in skin lesions of 6 patients with early MF (early MF group) and 6 patients with lichen planus (control group), followed by screening of differentially expressed miRNAs between the two groups. Then, real?time fluorescence?based quantitative PCR(RT?qPCR)was performed to verify the differentially expressed miRNAs in lesional specimens from 13 patients with early MF and 13 patients with eczema or lichen planus, as well as in Myla cells and normal human T?lymphocytes. Results The high?throughput miRNA PCR array showed that the expressions of hsa?miR?378a?5p, hsa?miR?107 and hsa?miR?302c?3p were significantly higher in the early MF group than in the control group(all P<0.05). For skin lesions, the results from RT?qPCR were similar to those from the miRNA array assay. Compared with normal human peripheral blood T?lymphocytes, Myla cells showed significantly increased expressions of hsa?miR?378a?5p and hsa?miR?107, which was consistent with the results from the miRNA array assay. However, no significant difference was observed in the expression of hsa?miR?302c?3p between the two kinds of cells. Conclusion MiRNA expression profiles in early MF are different from those in inflammatory skin diseases.

Objective To investigate the accuracy of three-dimensional reconstruction coronary angiography with CardiOp-B system in the evaluation of coronary artery stenosis, and make comparison with conventional quantitative coronary angiography(QCA). Methods The imaging data of 33 patients (39 vessel segments) who underwent coronary angiography and received interventional therapy were collected. The vessel diameter, vessel area, diameter of reference vessel rate of stenosed area and lesion length detected by three-dimensional reconstruction coronary angiography and QCA were compared. Results There was no significant difference in the detected minimal vessel diameter, minimal vessel area, diameter of reference vessel, rate of stenosed area and lesion length between three-dimensional reconstruction coronary angiography and QCA in these 39 vessel segments (P > 0.05), while the lesion length detected by three-dimensional reconstruction coronary angiography was significantly longer than that detected by QCA(P < 0.05). Conclusion Three-dimentional reconstruction of coronary angiography with CardiOp-B system demonstrates higher accuracy in the quantitative analysis of coronary artery stenosis compared with conventional QCA.

BACKGROUND: Stent implantation cannot only cause an adaptive change of blood vessels, but also result in intravascular hemodynamic changes, including vascular wall shear stress and disturbance flow.OBJECTIVE: To provide a theoretical basis for optimizing the stent design based on hemodynamics evaluation of the stented blood vessel by numerical simulation.METHODS: Hemodynamics of the stented vessels were simulated by three-dimensional modeling,vessel-stent coupling, mesh partioning, boundary conditions setting. Then the trends of wall shear stress on six different vascular stent models were assessed and compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The wall shear stress had the changing trend consistent with the inlet velocity. The wall shear stress was increased or decreased with the increase of decrease of inlet velocity, and reached or became close to the valley value when the inlet velocity was at valley value. This change rule was not affected by the structural change of the stent model. In the same stent model, the minimum wall shear stress at each point was less than 0.5 Pa, and these minimum values < 0.5 Pa lasted for different time in each cardiac cycle. In different stent models, the amount of points where the wall shear stress was less than 0.5 Pa in different cardiac cycles were in variety. To conclude, the wall shear stress at a point of the wall is positively correlated with the inlet velocity. During a cardiac cycle, at some time points, intimal hyperplasia is prone to occur in the region with the wall shear stress less than 0.5 Pa. Therefore, we should try to minimize the low wall shear stress region.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanisms of LW-AFC,a new formula derived from Liuwei Dihuang decoction,on chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)-induced mood and cogni-tion impairment in mice. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were randomly placed into seven groups (n=10):normal control group,CUMS group,Fluoxetine(10 mg·kg-1,once per day)group,Liuwei Dihuang de-coction group(LW,10 g·kg-1,once per day),and LW-AFC(0.8 g·kg-1,1.6 g·kg-1,3.2 g·kg-1,once per day) group. The stressed group was given CUMS for 4 weeks to set up a chronic multiple-stressed model.LW and LW-AFC was oral administered a week prior to CUMS and until the end of the study(a total of 35 d),while fluoxetine was administrated orally for 4 weeks.The anxiety behavior was analyzed using the open field test(OFT)and elevated plus maze test(EPM).The depression behavior was ana-lyzed using the sucrose preference test (SPT) and forced swimming test (FST). Spatial cognition was evaluated using Morris water maze (MWM) test and working memory was evaluated using new object recognition test(NORT). RESULTS CUMS for 28 d increased depressive-and anxiety-like behaviors. LW-AFC (1.6 g·kg-1) significantly increased the numbers of entries into the open arm and time in the open arm of CUMS mice (P<0.05). LW-AFC (3.2 g·kg-1) increased sucrose consumption and de-creased the immobility time of FST (P<0.01) of CUMS mice. The MWM test showed that spatial learning andmemory in CUMS mice were remarkably affected relative to controls,whereas LW-AFC(3.2 g·kg-1)im-proves cognitive functions(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The mood and theability of learning and memory of thestressed group can be affected after exposure to CUS.Oral administration of LW-AFC significant-ly improved CUMS-induced impairments of mood and cognition in mice.
