Objective To explore the traits of improved polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE)-ethidium bromide(EB) staining in the detection of genotype polymorphisms.Methods The methods of PAGE-silver staining,agarose gel electrophoresis (AGE)-EB staining and improved PAGE-EB staining in polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were used to detect the μ-opioid receptor (OPRM1) A118G genotypes in case group (n =167) infants with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH),and control group(n =163) infants without ICH,to conduct a case study analysis.And the application traits of three methods were compared.Results Genotypes of OPRM1 A118G were GG (169 bp),AG (193 bp,169 bp),AA (193 bp).Both the electrophoresis methods of PAGE-silver staining and PAGE-EB could be used to detect the genotypes of OPRM1 A118G clearly in this study.There was no statistically significant difference between the resolutions of DNA fragments (P =0.884).The first method,which had 13 experiment steps,consuming 4-5 hours,involving 12 kinds of chemical reagents,and the pictures were taken with the camera,was complex,with difficult operation,more time consuming; Compared with the first method,the secondmethod was simple,which had 6 test procedures,consuming 2 hours with 8 reagents,and the pictures were taken by using an automatic gel imager.AGE-EB could not be used to detect genotypes of OPRM1 A118G.Conclusions The method of improved PAGE-EB has the advantages of fast,easy operation,and high resolution,which is worthy of wider application.

The resting cells of Citrobacter freundii 48003 3 expressing high tyrosine phenol lyase activity under the inducing of L tyrosine were used for L DOPA synthesis from catechol, pyruvate and ammonia In this paper, the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentrations on the synthesis of L DOPA were studied At the optimal conditions of reaction, 9 5g/L of L DOPA was obtained in 12h

In 2012, a new SARS-like coronavirus emerged in the Middle East, namely the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). It has caused outbreaks with high mortality. During infection of target cell, MERS-CoV S protein S1 subunit binds to the cellular receptor (DPP4), and its S2 subunit HR1 and HR2 regions intact with each other to form a stable six-helix bundle to mediate the fusion between virus and target cell membranes. Hence, blocking the process of six-helix bundle formation can effectively inhibit MERS-CoV entry into the target cells. This review focuses on the recent advance in the development of peptidic entry inhibitors targeting the MERS-CoV S2 subunit.

objective From April 1994 to April 1997, the authors anatomized and studied 40 cadaveric Livers, Which included the character, Length and diameter of the vessels and bile ducts of the first, second and third hepatic portis. This article put the emphasis on the anatomic structures and its clinical applilation. The results of the 40 cadaveric liver anatomy will play important roles on the resection and transplantation of the liver, especially the Piggy back Liver transplantation.

Objective To evaluate the quality of Isatidis Radix from different ecotypes by using projection pursuit model. Methods Totally 11 batches of Isatidis Radix from different ecotypes in Gansu Province were used as evaluation samples. With the contents of epigoitrin, uridine, guanosine, adenosine, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, indigo, indirubin, and alcohol extract as evaluating indexes, combined with projection pursuit model established by DPS V 9.50 statistics software, the quality of Isatidis Radix was evaluated. Results Based on the evalution of nine main indexes, quality order of the 11 batches of Isatidis Radix was acquired: S2>S1>S9>S7>S8>S3>S5>S10>S11>S4>S6. Conclusion The projection pursuit model was available for the quality evaluation of different ecotype Isatidis Radix. The quality of Isatidis Radix from different ecotypes is different significantly, and the quality of tetraploid Isatidis Radix of Shijiazhuang is the best.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Yangxue Qingnao Granule (YQG) on the expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats, and to explore its regulation on microglias.

METHODSTotally 144 SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-operation group, the vascular dementia model group (model), and the YQG treated group (treated). The vascular dementia rat model was prepared by modified Pulsinelli's four-vessel occlusion. Rats in the sham-operation group and the model group were administered with normal saline -(at the daily dose of 10 mL/kg) by gastrogavage, while those in the treated group were administered with YQG (0.32 g/mL, at the daily dose of 10 mL/kg) by gastrogavage. All administration was performed once per day for 8 successive weeks. The expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats was detected at week 1, 2, 4, and 8, respectively.

RESULTSCompared with the sham-operation group, the expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats were significantly enhanced in the model group at each time point (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of CD11b in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats significantly decreased in the treated group at each time point (P < 0.01), especially at week 2.

CONCLUSIONObvious activation and proliferation of microglias could be seen in CA1 region of hippocampus of vascular dementia rats, and YQG could inhibit activation and proliferation of microglias.
