Objective To explore the relationship between tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-? promoter G238A,G308A and interferon(IFN)-?+874A/T polymorphism and susceptibility to cytomegalovirus(CMV) hepatitis.Methods A TaqMan fluorescence polymerase chain reaction(PCR) in the IFN-?+874A/T and TNF-? gene promoter region single nucleotide polymorphism was tested in the subjects,including 87 infants with CMV hepatitis and 89 children without CMV hepatitis.Results No evident difference of TNF-? +238G/A and+308G/A allele frequency was found between infants with CMV hepatitis and controls.The cases of IFN-?+874 AA,AT and TT genotype were 64,20,3 cases in the infant CMV hepatitis group,and 45,26 and 18 cases in the control group,respectively.There was significant difference in IFN-?+874 allele genotype and frequency between infants with CMV hepatitis and the control group(P=0.001,P

Phosphate-dissolving microorganisms are widely distributed in soil, rhizosphere and other ecological environment. Understanding the characteristics of these microorganisms in solubilizing phosphates is helpful to apply them in improving P use efficiency. The obtained results indicated that the fungi had much higher capacity to dissolve the rock than the bacteria. Existence of Fe, Al, Mg and Na in the culture media reduced the rock solubilization by the bacteria, but increased the solubilization of the fungi. The higher content of the rock in the media, the lower capacity of the rock phosphate solubilization was found. The capacity was also significantly reduced if the concentration of C material in the media was higher than 3%. It was also found that the microorganisms destroyed the rock structure. The P was more easily released from the rock at further incubation. In conclusion, there is some potential to utilize the microorganisms to activate the rock phosphate.

Objective To research the method and effect about the bronchoscopic lung volume reduction by ?-cyanoac- rylate in the therapy of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods The 14 patients had been examined bosoms by CT before the operation and determined the type of emphysema and the distributing of pneumatocele,had blood gas analyzed and pulmonary function checked.The operation was carried through trachea cannula and intravenous anesthe- sia.When the bronchoscope came to the goal bronchia,we infused the meglumine diatrizoate through the biopsy orifice and approved the location of pneumatocele forward。Then,we infused erythromycin and ?-cyanoacrylate in turn through the biopsy orifice by silica del tube.Results The 3 pneumothorax patients had been removed the drainage tube in 3 days af- ter the operation.8 cases had been counterchecked sternite in one week and the pneumatocele was just like before,among which,1 case developed exudation.1 case had shown pleural thickening in the right-up lung counterchecked sternite 9 months later.1 case been checked the pulmonary function,the FEV_1 enhanced from 24.7% pred before operation to 32. 9% pred after operation one week.3 cases felt polypnea improved greatly and 7 cases felt polypnea improved a little.Con- clusion The bronchoscopic lung volume reduction by ?-cyanoacrylate is a safe,effective and economical method in the therapy of COPD.

· Vascular endothelial growth factor is indispensable inducing factor in retinalangiogenesis. After the retinal neovascularization of proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR ) patients, it can cause fibrovascular membrane formation, epiretinal membrane fibrosis increased, resulting in traction retinal detachment with further aggravate the condition. The recent research suggests that cytokines promote fibroblast proliferation, movement, adhesion, and secretion of extracellular matrix functions in the diabetic state of the environment changes to profibrogenic state, resulting in the accumulation and fibrosis of extracellular matrix. This paper reviewed the status quo of the correlation between vascular endothelial growth factor and fibrosis-related cytokine.

OBJECTIVE: To select specific DNA aptamer for determining ketamine by FluMag-SELEX. METHODS: Based on magnetic beads with tosyl surface modification as solid carrier and ketamine as target, a random ssDNA library with total length of 78 bp in vitro was compounded. After 13 rounds screening, DNA cloning and sequencing were done. Primary and secondary, structures were analyzed. The affinity, specificity and Kd values of selected aptamer were measured by monitoring the fluorescence intensity. RESULTS: Two ssDNA aptamers (Apt#4 and Apt#8) were successfully selected with high and specific abilities to bind ketamine as target with Kd value of 0.59 and 0.66 μmol/L. The prediction of secondary structure was main stem-loop and G-tetramer. The stem was the basis of stability of aptamer's structure. And loop and G-tetramer was the key of specific binding of ketamine. CONCLUSION FluMag-SELEX can greatly improve the selection efficiency of the aptamer, obtain the ketamine-binding DNA aptamer, and develop a new method for rapid detection of ketamine.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cytomegalovirus infection and biliary atresia.Methods Sixteen infants with CMV infection and biliary atresia were retrospectively reviewed and compared with clinical manifestations with 29 infants with CMV hepatitis.Results Both serum CMV-IgM antibody and CMV-pp65 in polymophnuclear leukocytes were found positive in 9 cases,only CMV IgM antibody was found positive in 1 case and only CMV-pp65 were found positive in 3 cases,both CMV-IgM and CMV-pp65 were found negative in 3 cases.14 of 15 cases of CMV-pp65 were detected in liver tissues including 3 cases with negative CMV-IgM antibody and CMV-pp65 in blood.The clinical indexes in these 16 cases were much more severe than which in 29 infants with CMV hepatitis (P

Objective To study the state of erythrocyte immune function in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia,and analyze the influence of various clinical status on erythrocyte immune function.Methods Fifty-two neonates with hyperbilirubinemia were enrolled and 104 healthy neonates as the control group.The adherence rate of complement 3b-receptor on the surface of red blood cell(RBC-C3bRR) and the immune complex adherence rate of red blood cell(RBC-ICR) were detected with erythrocyte saccha-romycete rosettet test.Results 1.The level of RBC-C3bRR in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia was lower than that in control group,and the level of RBC-ICR in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia was higher than that of control group(Pa0.05).3.Comparing the neonates with unconjugated bilirubin of different concentrations,there were significant difference in RBC-ICR(Pa0.05).4.There were positive correlation between RBC-ICR and bilirubin,unconjugated bilirubin in the neonates(Pa0.05).Conclusion Erythrocyte immune function in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia is obviously lower than that of control group and it is influenced by the concentratron of bilirubin and the time of phototherapy.
