1.Identification of nuclear localization signals of pseudorabies virus gene UL49.
Chinese Journal of Virology 2014;30(4):436-440
Tegument protein VP22 is encoded by Pseudorabies Virus (PRV) UL49. To identify the nuclear localization signals of UL49, it is necessary to determine the transport mechanism and biological functions of the VP22 protein. In this study, we identified two nuclear localization signals from UL49, NLS1 (5RKTRVA ADETASGARRR21) and NLS2 (241PGRKGKV247). The functional nuclear localization signal (NLS) of UL49 was identified by constructing truncated or site-specific UL49 mutants. The deletion of both NLS1 and NLS2 abrogated UL49 nuclear accumulation, whereas the deletion of NLS1 or NLS2 did not. Therefore, both NLS1 and NLS2 are critical for the nuclear localization of UL49. And our resuts showed that NLS2 is more important in this regard.

To investigate the influence of the difference enhancers on the transport mechanism of chlorogenic acid (CGA) across Caco-2 cells model, a RP-HPLC method was adopted to detect the concentrations of CGA. At the concentrations of 20 to 80 microg x mL(-1), the difference of absorption rate constants (K(a)) was not statistically significant. At the concentrations of 40 and 20 microg x mL(-1), the ratios of apparent permeability coefficients (P(app)) of the apical to basolateral and the basolateral to apical were 1.14 and 1.18, respectively. With the effect of enhancers K(a) and P(app) increased, the absorption half-life (T1/2) decreased. CGA passed through the Caco-2 cell membrane mainly by passive transport. It showed that monocarboxylic acid transporter (MCT) could be involved in the across membrane transport process of CGA. Borneol had no effect on the cell membrane transport processes. The order of increasing absorption of CGA caused by the enhancers was sodium lauryl sulphate > sodium taurocholate > carbomer.

Objective To investigate the effects of Mycobacterium vaccae vaccine on immunological function and clinical character in elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). MethodsA total of 100 elderly patients with stable COPD were randomly divided into immunotherapy group (group A, n= 50) and non-immunotherapy group (group B, n= 50), and normal control group (group C, n = 50). The levels of peripheral blood T-lymphocyte subsets (CD3+ , CD4+, CD8+ , CD4+/CD8+ ratio), natural killer cells (NK cells), immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, IgM) and cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a) were measured respectively before and after therapy. Group A and B were followed up for 1 year, then the times of acute outbreak and hospitalization of patients in the two groups were also compared. Results The levels of CD4 + ,CD4+/CD8+ ratio and NK cells in group A, B were significantly lower before therapy (P<0. 05~0. 01=, and the levels of IL-6, IL -8, TNF-a and IgA were significantly higher than in group C (P<0. 01=. After treatment with Mycobacterium vaccae vaccine in group A, the levels of CD4+ , CD4+/CD8+ ratio and NK cells were significantly higher (P<0. 05-0. 01= and IL-6, IL-8, TNF-a and IgA were significantly lower than before treatment (all P<0. 01=. These levels showed no significant changes in group B after treatment (P>0. 05). After 1-year follow-up, the times of acute outbreak and hospitalization on patients were statistically lower in group A than in group B (P< 0. 01 ).ConclusionsMycobacterium vaccae vaccine can improve cellular immunity function and reduce the times of acute outbreak and hospitalization in patients with stable COPD, so it has a higher clinical application value.

BACKGROUND:Abnormal gaits are very common in children with cerebral palsy, and how to improve the gait is the focus of rehabilitation therapy. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the biomechanical parameters of gaits in cerebral palsy children and to observe the effects of brace control on the exercise capacity of dyskinetic cerebral palsy children. METHODS:In this paper, we compared the biomechanical parameters of children with cerebral palsy and normal children in the initial process of walking and during walking. Biomechanical parameters in the initial process of walking include spatial and temporal parameters, kinematic and kinetic parameters of the range of motion of the knee and ankle. Biomechanical parameters during walking include spatial and temporal parameters. With the aid of hand brace, dyskinetic cerebral palsy received postural control, gait training, and sling exercise therapy for 3 months. The Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-88) assessment and video control were conducted for evaluation of therapeutic efficiency. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Biomechanical parameters in the initial process of walking showed significant differences between children with cerebral palsy and normal children except for the peak of ground reaction force at frontal axis with the right foot to start walking. Biomechanical parameters during walking showed that the stance phase and bipedal stance phase were prolonged, while the step length and stride length were shortened in the children with cerebral palsy compared with the normal children. For cerebral palsy children with brace control, the GMFM-88 scores were significantly decreased after treatment, involuntary movements were reduced shown on the video, the neck and body were stable, and life skil s were improved. Children with epilepsy and cognitive impairment or who had imaging changes in the basal ganglia showed a little improvement, and children with dance-athetoid type and dystonia type had a better progress than those with athetoid spasm.

AIM: To investigate the curative effect of phacoemulsification and intraocular lens ( IOL ) implantation combined with goniosynechialysis in the treatment of age-related cataract merging with primary angle-closure glaucoma ( PACG) . · METHODS: Totally 80 patients with age-related cataract merging with PACG were in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016. The preoperative average intraocular pressure ( IOP) was 33. 22 ± 3. 17mmHg; the average depth of anterior chamber was 2. 07 ± 0. 15mm;the dynamic situation of primary angle closure ≤1/2 cycle by gonioscope. They were randomly divided into Group A and B for doing a study. All the two groups were treated with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. And the Group A was with goniosynechialysis. The following up period was 2mo, and we observed the IOP, chamber depth and the anterior chamber angle. · RESULTS: The change of chamber depth and intraocular pressure about the two groups: the average intraocular pressure of the Group A was 15. 11 ± 3. 67mmHg,the chamber depth was 3. 11±0. 08mm;those of the Group B were 17. 24 ± 1. 67mmHg, 2. 76 ± 0. 15mm respectively; the differences had statistical significance (P<0. 05). Postoperatively, there were 28 eyes (70%) in Group A with fully open anterior chamber angle, and 18 eyes (45%) in Group B (P<0. 05). · CONCLUSION: The phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined with goniosynechialysis in the treatment of age-related cataract merging with primary angle-dosure glaucoma is safe and reliable. It's simple to operate, and do not increase the risk of surgery.
