The herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) infected-cell protein 27 (ICP27) is an essential,highly conserved protein involved in various steps of HSV-1 gene regulation as well as in the shut-off of host gene expression during infection.It functions primarily at the post-transcriptional level in inhibiting precursor mRNA splicing and in promoting nuclear export of viral transcripts.Recently,many novel functions performed by the HSV-1 ICP27 protein were shown,including leptomycin B resistance,inhibition of the type I interferon signaling,regulation of the viral mRNA translation and determining the composition of HSV-1 virions.

Objective To analyze the impact factors for early renal damage in type 2 diabetic patients by the classification tree model.Methods A total of 601 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled.According to glomerular filtration rates and urine albumin quantification,the patients were divided into type 2 diabetes group (418 cases) and early diabetic renal damage group (183 cases).The clinical data of the patients were recorded to analyze the main influential factors for the microalbuminuria of type 2 diabetic patients using the Exhaustive CHAID classification tree algorithm.Results Six important explanatory variables were screened out by the classification tree model from the 34 candidate variables related to early renal damage,including fibrinogen,history of hypertension,retinopathy,Cys C levels,SBP and peripheral neuropathy.Elevated fibrinogen was the main factor.Conclusion The classification tree model can analyze the major influential factors of early renal damage in type 2 diabetic patients effectively,and it can help develop the prevention and treatment methods.

Objective To analyze the prevalence,risk factors of kidney disease in type 2 diabetic patients with KDIGO classification of chronic kidney disease,also to study cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and death in these patients,so as to investigate the significance of the KDIGO classification system.Methods One thousand six hundred and forty-five type 2 diabetic patients who were in hospitalization from June 2008 to December 2012 were grouped according to the KDIGO classification of chronic kidney disease and the incidence of vascular disease was analyzed based on the classification.Clinical features were compared between patients with or without kidney disease.The risk factors of kidney disease and the death of diabetic patients were also investigated.Results There were 915 male and 730 female,aged a median (57.86±12.54) years with (6.35±6.30) years duration of diabetes mellitus among the 1645 cases,and 37.2％ of patients had concomitant kidney disease.According to the classi fi cation of CKD,patients in CKD group 3a,group 3b and CKD group 4-5 accounted for 5.7％,3.5％ and 7.6％,while 33.4％ of patients had proteinuria,among which 19.5％ with microalbuminuria,13.5％ with macroalbuminuria.On complications,patients with hypertension accounted for 49.5％,hyperlipidemia 67.7％,diabetic retinopathy 27.4％,cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases 18.5％ (coronary artery disease 16.5％,cerebrovascular diseases 8.8％).Statistical difference was detected in the incidence of diabetic retinopathy,coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular diseases between CKD group 3a and 3b (P ＜ 0.05).The duration of diabetes,concomitant hypertention especially with elevated systolic blood pressure,diabetic retinopathy and hyperuricemia were the independent risk factors for type 2 diabetic patients with kidney disease.Age,Scr,complicating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and advanced CKD stage were the independent risk factors for the death of type 2 diabetic patients with kidney disease.Conclusion KDIGO classification of chronic kidney disease enables better staging of kidney diseases in diabetic patients for management and prognosis.Diabetic patients have a higher prevalence of renal diseases and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events than the general population.Early control of factors such as blood pressure and serum uric acid can delay the progression of kidney disease,and the predictive role of diabetic retinopathy should be emphasized.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the curative effect of the dynamic hip system blade (DHS-blade) on the treatment of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients with osteoporosis.

METHODSA retrospective study was conducted to analyse the clinical data of 60 elderly patients with osteoporosis who had been treated for femoral neck fractures with DHS-blade in our department between September 2012 and February 2014. There were 22 males and 38 females with a mean age of (66.8±3.2) years. According to the Singh Index Classification, all the patients'Singh index was below level 3. The Harris criterion and function recovery after operation were analysed.

RESULTSAll patients were followed up for 12-17 months (mean 14 months). No femoral head necrosis, femoral neck shortening, internal fixation loosening or backing out of the nails occurred. Bone nonunion was found in one case and he had a good recovery after total hip arthroplasty. The time for fracture healing ranged from 3-6 months (average 3.5 months). According to Harris criterion, 35 cases were rated as excellent, 22 good, 2 fair and 1 poor. The Harris scale was significantly improved from 28.46±2.35 preoperatively to 91.98±3.26 at 6 months postoperatively (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONDHS-blade, being minimally invasive, allowing earlier postoperative exercise and avoiding the complications elicited by traditional internal fixation, is advisable for treatment of femoral neck fractured patients with osteoporosis.

A method was developed for the determination of fumonisin B1 ( FB1 ) and fumonisin B2 ( FB2 ) in livestock and poultry formula feeds by high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS. After extracted by acetonitrile-water (50: 50, V/V) and purified with MAX solid phase extraction column, the fumonisins were separated by Thermo C18(100 mm×2. 1 mm, 5 μm) column with 0. 1% formic acid in water and methanol as the mobile phase. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to acquire mass spectrometric data under electrospray positive ionization mode ( ESI+) . The results showed that the linear correlation coefficients (R2) of fumonisin FB1 and FB2 were all greater than 0. 999 in the range of 1-500 μg/L. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 0. 098 and 0. 197 μg/L, and the limits of detection ( LOD) were 0. 328 and 0. 656 μg/L, respectively. At different spiked levels, the recoveries of FB1 and FB2 were ranged from 89. 7% to 95. 1%, and the relative standard deviation ( RSD) was ranged from 3. 2% to 8. 6%. Additionally, the detection rate reached 98. 11% screening through the established method in the 106 livestock and poultry formula feeds collected from markets. This result indicates that the method is suitable for accurate quantitative analysis of FB1 and FB2 in different complicated livestock and poultry formula feeds.
