Objective To analyze the mutations in nucleotide sequences of transfusion transmitted virus(TTV) in neonatal infection.Methods Neonatal serum TTV-DNA was detected by a nested PCR technique.Fifteen Chinese neonates with positive TTV-DNA were diagnosed as TTV infection.ORF1 sequences of TTV-DNA from these neonates were determined.Results Homology of Chinese TTV(C01-C15) and Japanese TTV(N22)isolated ranged from 87.1%-97.7% at nucleotide level,but there were point mutations in Chinese TTV,such as GG→TT in locus 112 and 113,TTATC→CCTAT in locus 236-240.Conclusions Chinese and Japanese TTV isolated had the same genotype.Some gene mutations may increase the TTV pathogen,and result in neonatal hepatitis syndrome or hyperbilirubinemia.

Recombinant expression vector pcDNA3-MCPCD59DP containing human membrane complement regulatory proteins(hCRPs) MCP and CD59 cDNA was constructed successfully by using two independent promoters.After transfected into NIH3T3 cells with calcium phosphate-DNA precipitate method,NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP transfectants were obtained by G418 selection.Extraneous genes integration was identified by PCR.The co-expression of human CD59 and MCP at both mRNA and protein levels was confirmed by using RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.Human MCP and CD59 cDNA were integrated in NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP genomic DNA after continuous 30 times passages,indicating that NIH3T3 pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP were stable cell lines.Human complement-mediated cytolysis assays showed that NIH3T3 cells transfected stably with pcDNA3-CD59,pcDNA3-MCP,and pcDNA3-MCPCD59-DP were protected from C-mediated damage and co-expressed human MCP and CD59 provided more excellent protection against C-mediated attack as compared with either CD59 or MCP expressed alone.The dicistronic vector represents an effective and efficacy strategy to overcome C-mediated damage and has potential therapeutic value for effectively controlling complement activation and finally for preventing hyperacute rejection in clinical gene therapy.

Objective To evaluate the minimally invasive technique of laparoscopy by retroperitoneal access for the treatment of parapelvic cyst. Methods Twelve patients(7 men and 5 women;mean age,52 years;age range,34-75 years) with parapelvic cysts were included.The cyst size ranged from 2.8 cm?3.0 cm to 2.5 cm?11.5 cm.The cysts were on the left side in 6 cases and on the right in another 6 cases.Laparoscopic resection or de-roofing of the parapelvic cysts by retroperitoneal access was performed in them.The relevant parameters of the procedures were summarized.Results The success rate of the operation was 100%.The mean operative time of the first 6 patients was 190 min,while it was 86 min in the rest 6 patients.The mean intraoperative blood loss was 25 ml.No injury to the kidney pedicle or pelvis occurred.The mean hospital stay was 9 d.In 11 patients,no recurrence of the cyst occurred during a follow-up of 7-31 months.Only 1 patient with concomitant renal cyst had recurrence of the cyst found by B-ultrasound 2 years after operation.Conclusions Therapeutic laparoscopy by retroperitoneal access has advantages of minimal trauma,less blood loss,rapid recovery and better effect,therefore it is the ideal treatment choice for parapelvic cyst.

The deep analysis has been done on the cases of adverse events and common injury of cupping therapy encountered in recent years in terms of manipulation and patient's constitution. The adverse events of cupping therapy are commonly caused by improper manipulation of medical practitioners, ignoring contraindication and patient's constitution. Clinical practitioners should use cupping therapy cautiously, follow strictly the rules of standard manipulation and medical core system, pay attention to the contraindication and take strict precautions against the occurrence of adverse events.

Objective To investigate changes of serum cystatin C(Cys C),uric acid,HsCRP, IL-6,TNF-?,and lipids in patients with primary and secondary type Ⅱ b hyperhpidemia.Methods Seventy- five patients with primary and secondary type Ⅱb hyperlipidemia and 75 healthy controls were included in this study.Serum levels of TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,apoAI,apoB,Lp(a),Cys C,UA,HsCRP were measured by immunoturbidimetric assay on AU-640,and IL-6,TNF-? were detected.Results Patients showed higher serum TC,TG,LDL-C,apoB,UA,Cys C and HsCRP than the controls.The levels in patients were(3.70? 0.66)mmol/L,(9.50?0.92)mmol/L,(4.50?0.31)mmol/L,(1.70?0.21)g/L,(1.21?0.17) mg/L,(441.4?114.7)?mol/L,(11.5?3.2)mg/L respectively,while levels in controls were(1.88? 0.66)mmol/L,(4.00?0.66)mmol/L,(2.80?0.33)mmol/L,(0.74?0.23)g/L,(0.71?0.18) mg/L,(343.0?113.9)?mol/L,(1.8?0.7)g/L respectively.Serum Cys C was positively correlated with HsCRP and UA(P

Data mining technology has become a powerful tool in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) research. In this paper, based on the principle and basic requirements of data mining, the mining methods and procedures were described. And then the application of data mining technology in Chinese medicine pair research was classified and summarized, such as the compatibility characters, characteristic pairs, dosage-effect relationship and property compatibility, which provide the direction and data base for modern research of Chinese medicine pair.

The effectiveness and safety of acupuncture for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia were systematically reviewed. The randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding acupuncture for supraventricular tachycardia were searched in domestic and overseas databases, and the evaluation tool of bias risk in Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 software was used to perform the evaluation of bias risk in literature, and RevMan 5.2 software was applied for statistics and Meta-analysis. Five RCTs involving 323 patients were included. The results showed that compared with the blank control group, the acupuncture reduced the heart rate by 18.8 times/min [95% CI (12.68, 24.92)]; the clinical effective rate in the acupuncture group was superior to that in the diltiazem group [OR= 3.11, 95% CI (1.50, 6.46)]; the difference of immediate effect between propafenone and acupuncture was not significant. No reports regarding adverse events was described in 5 RCTs. As was shown in the present evidence, acupuncture is safe and effective for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia, but the level of evidence was low and the intensity of conclusion needed to be improved.
