Objective: To provide an effective hGM CSF gene transferring vector mediated by gene gun and a basis for study of hGM CSF gene modified tumor cell vaccines. Method: The gastric tumor cell line (SGC) was transfected with eukarytic expression plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid containing the human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating (hGM CSF) gene using the gene gun. The SGC cell clones (SGC GM CSF 1~5)secreting high hGM CSF level were obtained after G418 resistance selection. The hGM CSF gene had been integrated into chromatosome of SGC by the assay of RT PCR.Results: There was hGM CSF production whose lane was about 30 kD in the culture medium of SGC GM CSF by the assay of SDS PAGE and Western blot. SGC GM CSF had the ability of the high level of GM CSF for a long time(mean 247ng/(10 6 cell?24 h).Conclusion: The hGM CSF gene transferring vector mediated by gene gun was effective and safe. These results provide a basis for study of GM CSF gene therapy for cancer.

ObjectiveTo investigate the antiviral effect of siRNA on herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) in vitro.MethodsDifferent siRNA duplexes targeting HSV-2 VP16 and DNA polymerase genes were designed and chemically synthesized.The antiviral effect of siRNA duplexes was evaluated by virus yield reduction assay.In detail,Vero cells cultured in 24-well plates were transfected with different siRNAs 4 hours before(preventive effect experiment) or 1 hour after(therapeutic effect experiment) the inoculation with HSV-2(0.02 to 0.05 plaque forming unit/cell).After additional culture for 40 to 48 hours,the expression of target genes in Vero cells was measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription(RT)-PCR.Results Both the siRNA duplex VP2-1 targeting HSV-2 VP16 and DP2-1 targeting DNA polymerase gene resulted in a remarkable decrease in viral titer by about 1 log10 in both the preventive and therapeutic effect experiment.As the preventive effect experiment showed,the expression of HSV-2 VP16 mRNA was decreased markedly by 58.6% and 79.5% by VP2-1,respectively,and that of HSV-2 DNA polymerase mRNA by 59.8%and 77.4% by DP2-1,respectively,at 6 and 12 hours after the infection.ConclusionsThe siRNA duplexes targeting HSV-2 VP16 and DNA polymerase genes could inhibit the proliferation of HSV-2.Hence,HSV-2 VP16 and DNA polymerase genes may serve as the target genes of RNA interference to inhibit HSV-2 replication.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the combination of abidol, lopinavir/ritonavir plus recombinant interferon α-2b (rIFNα-2b) and the combination of lopinavir/ritonavir plus rIFNα-2b for patients with COVID-19 in Zhejiang province.Methods:A multicenter prospective study was carried out to compare the efficacy of triple combination antiviral therapy and dual combination antiviral therapy in 15 medical institutions of Zhejiang province during January 22 to February 16, 2020. All patients were treated with rIFNα-2b (5 million U, 2 times/d) aerosol inhalation, in addition 196 patients were treated with abidol (200 mg, 3 times/d) + lopinavir/ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) (triple combination group) and 41 patients were treated with lopinavir/ritonavir (2 tablets, 1 time/12 h) (dual combination group). The patients who received triple combination antiviral therapy were further divided into three subgroups: <48 h, 3-5 d and >5 d according the time from the symptom onset to medication starting. The therapeutic efficacy was compared between triple combination group and dual combination group, and compared among 3 subgroups of patients receiving triple combination antiviral therapy. SPSS 17.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results:The virus nucleic acid-negative conversion time in respiratory tract specimens was (12.2±4.7) d in the triple combination group, which was shorter than that in the dual combination group [(15.0±5.0) d] ( t=6.159, P<0.01). The length of hospital stay in the triple combination group [12.0 (9.0, 17.0) d] was also shorter than that in the dual combination group [15.0 (10.0, 18.0) d] ( H=2.073, P<0.05). Compared with the antiviral treatment which was started within after the symptom onset of in the triple combination group, the time from the symptom onset to the viral negative conversion was 13.0 (10.0, 17.0), 17.0 (13.0, 22.0) and 21.0 (18.0, 24.0) d in subgroups of 48 h, 3-5 d and >5 d, respectively ( Z=32.983, P<0.01), while the time from antiviral therapy to viral negative conversion was (11.8±3.9), (13.5±5.1) and (11.2±4.3) d, respectively( Z=6.722, P<0.05). Conclusions:The triple combination antiviral therapy of abidol, lopinavir/litonavir and rIFNα-2b shows shorter viral shedding time and shorter hospitalization time, compared with the dual combination antiviral therapy; and the earlier starting triple combination antiviral therapy will result in better antiviral efficacy.

The optimal protocol for neuromodulation by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) remains unclear. Using the rotarod paradigm, we found that mouse motor learning was enhanced by anodal tDCS (3.2 mA/cm2) during but not before or after the performance of a task. Dual-task experiments showed that motor learning enhancement was specific to the task accompanied by anodal tDCS. Studies using a mouse model of stroke induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion showed that concurrent anodal tDCS restored motor learning capability in a task-specific manner. Transcranial in vivo Ca2+ imaging further showed that anodal tDCS elevated and cathodal tDCS suppressed neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex (M1). Anodal tDCS specifically promoted the activity of task-related M1 neurons during task performance, suggesting that elevated Hebbian synaptic potentiation in task-activated circuits accounts for the motor learning enhancement. Thus, application of tDCS concurrent with the targeted behavioral dysfunction could be an effective approach to treating brain disorders.
