Objective To investigate the significance of antibody to Ro-52 in patients with autoim-mune liver disease(AILD). Methods One hundred and fifteen patients with abnormal liver functions, who had anti-Ro-52 detection by immunological blotting, were reviewed retrospectively. According to types of AILD, the clinical features were compared between patients with and without anti-Ro-52, respectively, κ test of concordance was used to provide a chance-corrected valve for immune-serological results. Results The rates of anti-Ro-52 in autoimmune hepatitis( AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis(PBC) and AIH/PBC o-verlap syndrome groups were 32.43%, 24.56% and 33.33%, respectively, there were no significant differ-enees among three groups ( x2 = 0. 949, P >0. 05). The rate of anti-soluble hver antigen/liver-pancreas ( an-ti-SLA/LP) in AIH patients with anti-Ro-52 (58.33%) was higher than AIH patients without anti-Ro-52 ( 16.00% ,P < 0.05 ). The rate of anti-SLA/LP in AIH/PBC overlap syndrome patients with anti-Ro-52 (85.71%) was also higher than that of control group (28.57% ,P <0.05). Anti-Ro-52 and anti-SLA/LP had concordance according to κ test( κ >0.40, P <0.05). The average level of IgG in AIH/PBC overlap syndrome patients with anti-Ro-52 was higher than patients without anti-Ro-52 ( t = 2. 508, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The rates of anti-Ro-52 in AIH, PBC and AIH/PBC overlap syndrome were of no significant differences. Anti-Ro-52 may have correlation with anti-SLA/LP. AIH/PBC overlap syndrome patients with anti-Ro-52 shewed higher IgG level than patients without anti-Ro-52.

Nowadays,small peptides are always expressed in the form of fusion protein.The expression product contains many superfluous amino acids which can affect the biological functions of small peptides even expressed by GST fusion protein expression system.SUMO protease can cut SUMO fusion protein expressed by fusion expression system without any amino acid residues left on target protein thus become a hot topic in this field.Recombinant His-UlP1/pET3c/BL21(DE3)engineering strain was constructed by genetic engineering technology and the expression conditions were optimized in shake flaks.The process of high density fermentation was explored and different purification conditions were detected by chromatography.The results showed that SUMO protease could be expressed well after inducing the engineering strain by IPTG of 1.0mmol/L at 30℃ for 6 hours.The expression level of the strain in fermentation pots could reach 24.3% analyzed by SDS-PAGE.The purity of SUMO protease was more than 98% after further purification by cation exchange chromatography.The yield was 355mg SUMO protease per liter fermentation liquid.Western blot analysis demonstrated that there were immune reactions between IlP1 and 6?His antibodies,so it has established a good foundation for large-scale industralazation in the future.

BACKGROUND: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a kind of emergency treatment for cardiopulmonary arrest, and chest compression is the most important and necessary part of CPR. The American Heart Association published the new Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care in 2010 and demanded for better performance of chest compression practice, especially in compression depth and rate. The current study was to explore the relationship of quality indexes of chest compression and to identify the key points in chest compression training and practice.METHODS: Totally 219 healthcare workers accepted chest compression training by using Laerdal ACLS advanced life support resuscitation model. The quality indexes of chest compression, including compression hands placement, compression rate, compression depth, and chest wall recoil as well as self-reported fatigue time were monitored by the Laerdal Computer Skills and Reporting System.RESULTS: The quality of chest compression was related to the gender of the compressor. The indexes in males, including self-reported fatigue time, the accuracy of compression depth and the compression rate, the accuracy of compression rate, were higher than those in females. However, the accuracy of chest recoil was higher in females than in males. The quality indexes of chest compression were correlated with each other. The self-reported fatigue time was related to all the indexes except the compression rate.CONCLUSION: It is necessary to offer CPR training courses regularly. In clinical practice, it might be better to change the practitioner before fatigue, especially for females or weak practitioners. In training projects, more attention should be paid to the control of compression rate, in order to delay the fatigue, guarantee enough compression depth and improve the quality of chest compression.

Objective To dynamically investigate the effects of aluminum on the concentration of free intracellular Ca2+([Ca2+]i) and the expression of calcium channels in the hippocampus of rats. Methods Healthy 64 Wistar rats were taken as the experimental objects. And these rats were randomly divided into 16 groups according to their weights, and were instilled with AlCl3 at 0(control),37.3,74.7 and 248.7 mg/kg respectively. The experimental time exposed to AlCl3 was 45,75,120 d, among which the rats were given AlCl3 for 120 d fed normally for 30 d. The hippoeampus were segregated on day 45,75,120 and 150 d and the[Ca2+]i of hippocampus of rats were detected by fluorospectrophotometer. The expression of Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) mRNA and α1C ubunit of L-type calcium ehannels(L-Ca2+α1C) mRNA were detected by RT-PCR analysis. Results [Ca2+]i was increased by AlCl3 in a dose-and time-dependant manner(F=23.136 and 19.089, P<0.01). There was a synergistic effect between the dose and time in [Ca2+]i (F=2.270, P<0.05). In time of 120,150 days, the [Ca2+]i of rats hippocampus in 37.3[(299.3±48.7), (342.7±35.3)nmol/L], 74.7[(391.2±47.9), (408.1±42.8)nmol/L] and 248.7 mg/kg group[(397.9±55.8), (405.2±22.7)nmol/L] significantly increased compared with control group [(195.1±29.9), (209.1±30.6)nmol/L; P<0.01]. The expression of RyR2 mRNA and L-Ca2+α1C mRNA were increased by AlCl3(F=23.301 and 60.812, P<0.01). The experimental time could lower the expression of L-Ca2+ α1C mRNA (F=6.088, P<0.01), but had no influences on the expression of RyR2 mR NA (F=1.361, P>0.05). There was interaction between the dose of AlCl3 and the time in the expression of L-Ca2+α1C mRNA (F=5.876,P< 0.01). On day 75,120 and 150 of the experiment, the expression of L-Ca2+α1C mRNA in rat hippocampus of 74.7 (1.03±0.16,1.18±0.18,0.92±0.11) and 248.7 mg/kg group(1.89±0.26, 1.25±0.10, 1.07±0.14) also increased compared with control group(0.63±0.09,0.78±0.16,0.69±0.11; P<0.05 or <0.01). On day 45,75, 120 and 150 of the experiment, the expression of RyR2 mRNA in 74.7(0.49±0.06,0.51±0.07,0.57±0.11, 0.47±0.11), 248.7(0.47±0.03,0.52±0.09, 0.70±0.10, 0.78±0.09)mg/kg AlCl3 groups was highly increased compared with control group (0.24±0.07, 0.32±0.04, 0.30±0.06, 0.27±0.06; P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusion Al increases [Ca2+]i by increasing the expression of the RyR2 mRNA and L-Ca2+α1C mRNA, thus exerts an irreversible neuronal toxicity.
