Objective: To investigate the relationship between postprandial glucose and cardiovascular disease.Methods: Ninety-four patients were divided into an IFG,an IGT and a DM group,and observed for the incidence of cardiovascular disease and the risk indexes of cardiovascular disease,such as CIMT,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,BMI,SBP,DBP and CRP.The correlation between postprandial glucose and the risk indexes were analyzed. Results: The risk indexes were obviously higher in the IGT and DM groups than in the IFG group(P0.01).Postprandial glucose was correlated positively with the risk indexes,but negatively with HDL-C.Conclusion: Postprandial hyperglycemia increases the incidence of cardiovascular disease.

A questionaire before class,an analysis and an interview after exam were applied to evaluate the effect of bilingual teaching in biochemistry to provide important experiences and directions for carrying out bibingual teaching in the future.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms for cytopathic effect(CPE) of wide-type rubella virus(RV)in ECV304 endothelial-like cells.Method ECV304 cells were cultured in MEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum,glutamine,sodium bicarbonate,penicillin and streptomycin at 37℃ with 5% CO-2 in a humidified incubator,and then grown in maintenance medium with 2% fetal calf serum to avoid overstimulating cell growth.Infected cells and control cells were harvested at day 2,4, and 6 after infection for following experiments.RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect RV infection.Phase-contrast and electron microscopy were performed to analyze morphology changes in infected and uninfected groups.TUNEL assay was carried out to study wide-type RV-induced apoptosis.Result In RV-infected ECV304 cells,cytopathic effects were first observed approximately at 2-3 days post-infection.The majority of cells with CPE changes were of detachment from the monolayer,rounding of cells,cell shrinkage and membrane blebbing were seen.At 4-6 days post-infection,the detached cells increased clearly;the CPE regions on the monolayer were extended,and the infected cells in the CPE regions showed in spindly form with wide spacing.RT-PCR and indirect immunofluorescence results indicated RV infection in ECV304 endothelial-like cells.Using electron microscopy,RV particles and its cytopathic effects including the condensed chromatin,fragmented nuclei and clustering of mitochondria with dramatic changes around nuclear were further examined.TUNEL results showed that the difference of apoptosis index between the infected group and uninfected group was significant(P

Objective To study the double restriction fluorescent labeling (DRFL) method for fluorescent labeling of trace DNA samples and its effect in enhancing the pathogen detection sensitivity of microarray assays. Method SARS-CoV RNA samples were reversely transcribed and then further amplified with the restriction display (RD)-PCR and fluorescently labeled by conventional restriction labeling directly with Cy-universal primer and the novel double labeling with Cy-universal primer and CydNTP. The labeled samples were applied to the microarray with the viral probes, processed and analyzed. Results Compared with the conventional method, DRFL labeling resulted in 3. 5835 times higher fluorescent intensity of all the SARS probes on average, even though increased fluorescent intensities for different probes varied considerably. Conclusion Signal to noise ratio can be enhanced by the DRFL method which improves the sensitivity of microarray technology in trace pathogen detections.

Objective Based on the age of big data, the treatment mechanisms of Qishen-Yiqi(QSYQ) for myocardial infarction was focused. Methods All the data stemmed from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). For ensuring the efficacy genetic molecular, differentially expressed genes were discobered by Qlucore Omics Explorer (QOE). And then gene set enrichment analysis was performed by Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery online Gene Annotation system(DAVID) for showing the genes functions during bioprocess. In the end, the predicted genes and proteins interactions networks were demonstrated by Gene/protein interaction database (STRING). Results The main biological process involved up regulating the expression of some specil genes such as NFIL3, ARNTL, DBP, FGD4 and nuclear receptor genes like NR1D1, NR1D2 while using QSYQ treatment. In such case, BHLHE40/41 was regulated. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine, QSYQ, could influence the expression of genes of cytothesis, inflammatory and enzymatic activity as its effect of the molecular mechanism, in order to treat and cure the myocarditis infarction.

According to the teaching practice in biochemistry laboratory course,we describe the characteristics of international students'teaching,teaching preparation,teaching course and so on.These experiences may provide an important source of information for teaching practice in the future.

Objective To explore the effect of the mutant and expression level of N-ras on chronic myelogenous leukemia. Method We investigated the mutant by direct sequencing in a K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, with determination of the expression level of N-ras mRNA in K562 by RT-PCR. Result No single point mutation was detected in K562 cell line, furthermore, the expression level of N-ras gene is abnormaly high in contrast to normal human. Conclusion Our results indicated that the expression level of N-ras gene was obviously high in K562 cell line, and the underlying mechanism was not only mutation, so that further investigation is called for.

Objective To prepare 60 mer oligo microarray chips for detecting human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and for the clinical application in the detection of AIDS patient. Methods Oligonucleotide probes were designed according to the sequence information of two types of HIV. Oligo microarray was prepared by using Cartesian Microarrayer. Products of the restrictive display PCR were labeled with Cy3. Furthermore, the PCR products were sequenced. Results Using the oligo microarray, HIV infection could be detected in laboratory as well as in clinical assays. Results of hybridization indicated that 1 AIDS patient was positive and 20 health people were negative. The results obtained by sequencing confirmed the results obtained by oligo microarray studies. Conclusion The HIV 60 mer oligo microarray could be used in detecting patient HIV infection and analyzing its genotypes.
