Objective To construct stable expression system of pLVX-Pro-CCR7 and study the function of CCR7 gene in metastasis of stomach cancer. Methods PCR method was used to amplify CCR7 gene and construct pLVX-Puro-CCR7 recombinant plasmid. Lipofection was used to infect SGC7901 cell strain immediately, and puromycin was used to screen the cell strain and establish a cell strain with stable expression. Western blot method was used to test the ex-pression of CCR7 in SGC7901 cells which were stably infected. Transwell method was used to analyze the effect of overly expressed CCR7 gene on in vitro migration of stomach cancer cells of SGC7901. Living imaging was used to ob-serve the metastasis ability of stomach cancer cell strain of SGC7901 which overly expressed CCR7 in nude mice. Re-sults pLVX-Puro-CCR7 recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed and SGC791 cell strain was stably infected. The cell strain was able to correctly translate and express CCR7 protein. Metastasis ability in nude mice and in vitro migration ability of SGC7901 stomach cancer cell strain which overly expressed CCR7 gene significantly improved (P<0.05). Conclusion CCR7 may be involved in the function of promoting metastasis of stomach cancer cells.

Objective To study the distribution of HBV genotypes and the relationship between HBV genotypes and the clinical characteristics in Hangzhou area. Methods The genotype, content of HBV-DNA, serological indicators and AFP were detected by RT-PCR, time resolved immunofluorescence method respectively in 146 cases of HBV-DNA positive patients. The relationship between HBV genotype and the clinical characteristics were analyzed by the statistical analysis.Results In the HBV genotyping, there were 75 cases of type B (51.4%),62 cases of type C (42.5%),9 cases of no B or no C type (6.2%);In type C, the HBV-DNA, HbsAg and HbeAg content were significantly higher than the type B.The content of AFP in type C was higher than type B, but with no statistical difference(P>0.05). Conclusion In Hangzhou area, the priority genotype of HBV is type B. Genotype has a certain relationship with the clinical character-istics and the severity of the disease.

Objective To establish and assess the new method of APTT assay based on the combinations of Mg2+and Ca2+for lupus anticoagulants(LA)measurements.Methods This prospective study included 309 trisodium citrate anticoagulated plasma samples from 244 random patients and 65 patients with different autoimmune diseases(AID)to establish and assess the method of LA measurement, respectively.Final concentrations of 0,2.0, 4.0, 8.0,16.0 mmol/L Mg2+were added into 25 mmol/L Ca2+solution, and Actin reagent was used to measured plasma APTT of 94 patients.The applied concentration of Mg2+-Ca2+solution was confirmed through the special and significant alteration of APTT from LA-positive and -negative plasma observed in the presence of Mg 2+(test solution).Based on Actin reagent use,the test solution and 25 mmol/L Ca2+solution were applied to measure APTT of patients and normal individuals, respectively, and the ratio of Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT to Ca2+-APTT(Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT indices)and normalized Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT indices(NAR)were calculated, respectively.Mixed plasma NAR was measured,and CV%was calculated to evaluate the repeatability and stability of Mg 2+-Ca2+-APTT method.APTT of 150 patients was measured with the test solution and Actin reagent to calculate Mg 2+-Ca2+-APTT indices, and normalized LA ratio was determined with dRVVT method.The applicability of Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT assay was assessed through comparisons of the results from the two methods.Finally, NAR and NLR of 65 patients with AID(including 26 SLE patients)were measured with Mg2+-Ca2+-APTT assay and dRVVT method, respectively, and ROC curve was also used to assess the efficacy of the two methods for LA measurements.Results In all LA-negative plasma,APTT increased from 28.1 ±4.5 s to 61.2 ±7.9 s in normal APTT group,47.2 ±8.9 s to 97.5 ±10.3 s in increased APTT group,and 27.6 ± 5.1 s to 61.2 ±7.9 s in ACA-positive group when Mg2+increased from 0 to 8 mmol/L in Mg2+-Ca2+solution(F=34.12, 38.9 and 28.35,P<0.01).Following increased Mg2+concentration, APTT shortened from 0 to 4.0 mmol/L, but simultaneously prolonged from 4.0 to 16.0 mmol/L in LA-positive plasma with prolonged or normal APTT(F=31.55 and 39.51, P<0.01), and APTT was significantly higher in 8.0 mmol/L than that in 4.0 mmol/L(P<0.001).The test concentration of Mg 2+/Ca2+solution was 4.0 mmol/L.The within, inter-day CV% of NAR was 1.39%,2.30%, and 3.44%, respectively. According to the judging criteria of <0.966 and >1.034 of Mg2+/Ca2+indices, there was 141 patients with increased indices and NLR <1.20, and 9 patients with decreased ones and NLR≥1.20 in all 150 patients.The area under ROC curve of NAR and NLR for LA detection was 0.913(95%CI:0.848-0.978) and 0.892(95%CI:0.817-0.966), respectively, and the cut-off value was 0.87 and 1.13, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of NAR(85% and 77%)was higher than that of NLR(81% and 74%), respectively.The accordant rate of positive,negative,and total results between NAR and NLR was 94.4%, 98.5%,and 98%,respectively.Conclusion The method of APTT assay based on Mg2+combining Ca2+for LA measurements is feasible,and can be used to detect plasma LA of patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the intestinal absorption characteristics of multi-index components in Danggui Buxuetang with drug absorption simulating system (DASS) established by everted intestinal sac model. MethodThe intestinal absorption solution at different time points after administration of Danggui Buxuetang was collected and detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), acetonitrile (A)-0.2% glacial acetic acid solution (B) was used as the mobile phase for gradient elution (0-16 min, 15%-23%A; 16-20 min, 23%-28%A; 20-25 min, 28%-30%A; 25-30 min, 30%A; 30-35 min, 30%-65%A; 35-45 min, 65%-95%A), the detection wavelength was 302 nm. HPLC fingerprint of intestinal absorption solution was established and the common peak was calibrated, and the relative cumulative absorption rate of each index component was calculated. The relative cumulative absorption curves of components were fitted with various mathematical models by DDSolver 1.0 to explore the absorption law of different components. ResultThe absorption process of C2 (calycosin-7-glucoside) and C6 in Danggui Buxuetang was in line with zero-order equation, C9 was best fitted by Weibull equation, and the remaining 7 components were in line with Makoid-Banakar equation. C1 with C2, C3, C5, C7 and C10, C2 with C5 and C7, C3 with C4, C5, C7 and C10, C4 with C6 and C10, C5 with C7, C6 with C10, C7 with C10, C8 with C9 were absorbed simultaneously during the absorption process. With the prolongation of time, the overall cumulative absorption rate of Danggui Buxuetang increased. At 120 min, the overall cumulative absorption rate of Danggui Buxuetang exceeded 38%, and reached 49.14% at 180 min. ConclusionTen ingredients in Danggui Buxuetang are absorbed in the jejunum, but absorption law of various components is different, which shows that the intestinal absorption of compound preparations of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has multiple characteristics. Intestinal absorption study of TCM compound preparations with chemical composition as the index can reveal some of its absorption law, but it is not complete.
