In this paper, the function of the iel gene from baculovirus Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV), belonging to group Ⅱ nucleopolyhedrovirus, was studied in mammalian cells.We amplified the SeMNPV ie1 gene and expressed it by fusing to the C terminal of enhanced GFP protein in HEK 293 cells. Confocal microscopy revealed that the IE1-GFP fusion protein was localized in the nucleus of the mammalian cells. The promoter sequences of AcMNPV gp64, SeMNPV F protein and Drosophila hsp70 were also analyzed, to further study the function of SeMNPV IE1. The results showed that, in the absence of the hr sequence, IE1 improved the expression of the F promoter but didn't influence the gp64 promoter significantly, but IE1 moderately stimulated the hsp70 promoter.

Objective To explore the safety, feasibility, and techniques of hand-assisted laparoscopic splenectomy (HSLS) for massive splenomegaly. Methods Between January 2005 and December 2006, 40 patients with massive splenomegaly owning to portal hypertension were treated with HSLS or open splenectomy (OS). The two groups were comparable in age, sex, hepatic function by Child classification, and size of the spleen. Results No serious complications occurred in both the groups. Compared with the OS group, patients in the HALS group had more blood loss [ (312?61) ml vs (235?105) ml, t=2.583, P=0.014], longer operation time [(95?20) min vs (73?16) min, t=3.832, P=0.000], earlier recovery of intestinal function [(48?1) h vs (98?1) h, t=-153.093, P=0.000], and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(6?2) d vs (10?2) d, t=-6.124, P=0.000]. Conclusions HSLS is feasible and safe for patients with massive splenomegaly. Despite a longer operation time, the procedure is superior in postoperative recovery.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the largest causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide for which there are very limited effective treatment options.The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway(UPP) has rapidly become acknowledged as both critical mechanism for cellular biological function and a latent target of regulation of cancer-related disease.This review focus on the role of ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma and its correlation factors(HBV、P27、NF-?B,et al),in order to find novel therapeutic interventions against the genesis and development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the interaction of human testis sperm-associated antigen 4 like(SPAG4L) protein containing Sad,UNC-84(SUN) domain with nuclear envelop spectrin repeat proteins 3 (Nesprin-3) containing Klarsicht,ANC-1 and Syne homology (KASH) domain.Methods SPAC-4L protein domains were analyzed with the bioinformatics method.After the SPAG4L plasmid was transfected into Ntera-2 cells,the subcellular localization of SPAG4L was observed.The interaction of SPAG4L with Nesprin-3 was determined by immunofluorescence,co-immunoprecipitation(co-IP) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) technology,respectively.Results Bioinformatics analysis results showed that there was a transmembrane structure in SPAG4L protein.Subcellular localization results demonstrated that SPAG4L protein located in the nuclear membrane and cytoplasm.Immunofluorescence,Co-IP,and BiFC results showed that there was an interaction between SPAG4L and Nesprin-3,and that a LINC(linkers of the nucleoskeleton to the cytoskeletan) complex was formed.Conclusion SPAG4L may interact with Nesprin-3 to form a LINC complex,which is important for understanding the function of SPAG4L protein in spermatogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the surgical technique of titanium miniplates in reconstruction of laminar roof after a posterior approach in intraspinal tumor surgery. Methods From August, 2007 to March, 2009, 11patients underwent intraspinal tumor surgery with osteotomy and reconstruction of laminar roof, titanium miniplates were used for fixing in the re-implantation. There were 2 intramedullary tumors,9 extramedullary tumors. The target of surgery was the cervical spine in 2 cases, the cervicothoracic spine in 4 cases, the thoracic spine in 2 cases, the thoracolumbar spine in 2 cases, and the lumbar spine in 1 cases. The patitens were followed up for 6 months to 2years. Local pain,bony healing and spinal malformation were assessed. Results In the 11 patients, there was no case of dural, nerve root, or spinal cord injury due to laminar roof reconstruction. One patient complained of moderate to severe local pain during follow-up and 2 patients complained of occasional slight pain at the surgical site. No limitation of activity occurred. Bony healing was confirmed radiologically or CT scan in 9 patients. There were no patients demonstrated a new spinal malalignment, and no patients developed stenosis of the spinal canal. Conclusions The reconstruction of the laminar roof using titanium miniplates will benefit the recovery of normal structure of spine,and maintain the stability of spine,and avoid the occurrence of stenosis of the spinal canal.
