This paper discusses the mechanism of cellobiose in fungal cellulase induction a nd repression, and its inhibition of cellulases hydrolytic activity. Depending on the research result of cellulose binding domain, our hypothesis is that the main function of Exo-1,4-?-glucanase is to destroy th e crystal structure of cellulose to facilitaty hydrolyzing of ?-1,4 glucosidic bonds. A new strategy for the efficient transformation of cellulose material is advanced at t he end.

Objective:To establish a mouse fibroblastic cell line stably transfected with HMGA1 gene,and to use the cell line to investigate the role of HMGA1 in tumor development and progression.Methods:Eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.0-HMGA1 was transfected into NIH3T3 by lipofectamine-mediation.Stable transfectants were selected by G418.The expression of extraneous HMGA1 gene was analyzed by RT-PCR and DNA sequencing.Cell growth was measured through MTT and the cell cycle by FCM.Soft agar colony formation was employed to analyze the ability of anchorage-independent growth.The expression of the immune inhibition factors of VEGF and FasL mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Results:NIH3T3 cell lines stably expressing HMGA1 gene were successfully established.Comparing with controls,the HMGA1 gene-transfected cells grew faster,acquired the ability of anchorage-independent growth and expressed the immune inhibition factors of VEGF and FasL mRNA.Conclusion:Extraneous expression of HMGA1 gene can induce malignant transformation of NIH3T3 and modulate mRNA expression of immune inhibition factors.HMGA1 gene plays a key role in tumor development,progression and immune escape.

Objective To study the strategy of expanding standard donor heart application and to analyze the clinical effect on applying expanding standard donor heart in heart transplantation.Methods 146 patients received heart transplantation in Fuwai Hospital Bering from June 2004 to February 2009.Expanding standard donor heart was defined as prolonged ischemic time over 6 h,advanced age up to 40,and blood type ABO mismathched.Blood type examination and PRA test were done before operation.The donor heart was preserved by sequential perfusion with cold St.Thomas and HTK solution.The patients were divided into groups according to different oversize body weight,ischemic time,and donor age Results There were 11 deaths after operation.Ischernic time of donor heart was 262.1±120.8 min,and that of 21 donors was over 360 min(the longest one was 605 min).There was no significant diffeFence in recipient properties before transplantation.and also there was no significant difference in mortality,heart function,heart rejection,and main morbidity after transplantation and during follow-up.Conclusion These data support continued aggressive utilization of expanding standard donor hearts in heart transplantation.Our experience demonstrates thatproperly expanding standard cardiac allografts application has no effects on the short- and long-term clinical outcome following heart transplantation.

Objective To explore the effects of knocking down ULF gene on the apoptosis of non-small-cell carcinoma H1299 cell after treatment with etoposide.Methods Three ULF small interfering RNA(siRNA)sequences and one negative control siRNA sequence were designed and synthesized, and then individually transfected into H1299 cell via lentivirus.The interference efficiency of ULF-siRNA were screened by real-time PCR and Western blotting.Then the most target siRNA was used for apoptosis assay after treatment with etoposide,MTT assay for H1299 cell proliferation,flow cytometry for cell cycle distribution. Results The expression of ULF gene and its protein ULF were down-regulated in H1299 cell when transfected with ULF-siRNA,and ULF-siRNA-1 was the most effective one,which had the highest inhibition rate(80%)of ULF expression.Compared with negative control group,ULF-siRNA group showed an obvious apoptosis after treatment with etoposide,and the inhibition rate of was higher than control group,which was positively correlated with etoposide dose,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05 ).Flow cytometry showed that compared with the control group,G0/G1 cell cycle in ULF-siRNA group was increased,and S phase cells was decreased,the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Down-regulation ULF protein expression through treatment with etoposide can induce apoptosis of non-small-cell carcinoma H1299 cells,and inhibit cell proliferation,which lead to cell cycle arrest.ULF gene may become the new target of gene therapy for cancer.

Objective To investigate the alternation of left ventricular systolic function in patients underwent transcatheter aortic valve implantation operation(TAVI) by three-dimensional speckle tracking technology (3D-STI).Methods Totally 20 patients with severe aortic stenosis were enrolled.All the subjects underwent successful TAVI operation.The real-time 3D full volume datasets on apical four-chamber view were acquired on before,7 days and 1 month after TAVI.Left ventricular global longitudinal strain(GLS),regional peak systolic longitudinal strain(LS),regional peak systolic circumferential strain(CS) and regional peak systolic radial strain(RS),were analysed using off-line TomTec software,the differences among the three groups were compared.Results Compared with the preoperation,aortic valve blood flow velocity (AV),mean aortic valve pressure gradient(mPAG) of 7 days after operation decreased significantly.Threedimensional left ventricular ejecation fraction(3D-LVEF) among the patients whose 3D-LVEF under 50%had a remarkable increase and whose 3D-LVEF exceed 50% before operation had no significant change,while 1 month after operation the 3D-LVEF had a significant improvement compared with the preoperational data regardless of 3D-LVEF under 50% or not.The GLS and LS of all segments of 7 days after TAVI were higher than pre-operation(all P <0.05),and it had a further improvement 1 month after TAVI.Conclusions LV systolic function had improvement early after TAVI.3D-STI is a new,convenient way to detect the global and regional left ventricular systolic function of TAVI patients.

Objective:
To learn the influencing factors for self-violent thoughts and behaviors among the ninth-grade students in Jiangbei District of Ningbo, so as to provide the basis for carrying out psychological intervention.
Methods:
The ninth-grade students in a junior high school each of the six streets ( towns ) in Jiangbei District were recruited by multi-stage cluster sampling method from October to November 2018. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the general information, life style, psychological condition, self-violent thoughts and behaviors in the latest year. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for self-violent thoughts and behaviors.
Results:
A total of 1 300 questionnaires were issued and 1 238 valid ones were recovered, with an effective rate of 95.23%. The prevalence rates of self-violent thoughts and behaviors among the ninth-grade students were 16.88% and 8.48%. TheResults of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that abnormal marital status of parents ( OR=2.074, 95%CI: 1.139-3.775 ) , no moderate physical activity ( OR=1.764, 95%CI: 1.101-2.826 ) , sleeping less than 8 hours ( OR=1.858, 95%CI: 1.273-2.712 ) , alcohol consumption ( OR=2.108, 95%CI: 1.448-3.070 ) , sense of despair ( OR=6.397, 95%CI: 4.195-9.757 ) , sense of anxiety ( OR=4.094, 95%CI: 2.725-6.151 ) , sense of loneliness ( OR=1.879, 95%CI: 1.241-2.854 ) , and cyber-bullying ( OR=5.155, 95%CI: 2.780-9.556 ) were risk factors for self-violent thoughts; not living with parents ( OR=2.057, 95%CI: 1.021-4.145 ) , alcohol consumption ( OR=1.756, 95%CI: 1.074-2.872 ) , sense of despair ( OR=7.197, 95%CI: 4.365-11.864 ) , sense of anxiety ( OR=5.832, 95%CI: 3.276-10.382 ) , fighting ( OR=2.272, 95%CI: 1.219-4.232 ) and physical bullying ( OR=3.462, 95%CI: 1.135-10.558 ) were risk factors for self-violent behaviors.
Conclusion
Drinking, family relationship, bullying, and mental health problems such as sense of despair and anxiety were associated with the self-violent thoughts and behaviors of ninth-grade students.
