The cytolytic effect of perforin is a mechanism of anti-virus,killing microbial-infected cells and tumor cells.Perforin is a very important non-specific immune factors in fish.In order to understand the function of perforin,the cDNA of grass carp perforin C-terminal peptide was amplified from grass carp liver and kidney cDNA library.It contains a protein kinase C conserved region 2(C2).The cDNA was connected with pET32a,and transformed to expression bacteria DE3.PFP-C was expressed by a prokaryotic expression system and then purified by affinity chromatography.It showed a significant haemolytic activity when tested with rabbit red cells,the optimal pH for haemolytic activity was 7.5,and its haemolytic function dependents on Ca2+ apparently.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) is a common clinical disease that seriously threatens human health and life. Accurate location of the upper airway obstruction is the key to the diagnosis and treatment of OSAHS. Acoustic pharyngometry uses sound reflection to quickly assess the cross-sectional area and volume of the upper airway. Acoustic pharyngometry represents a simple, quick, non-invasive method for measuring upper airway dimensions which could predict sleep apnea risk. In this article we sought to introduce the application of acoustic pharyngometry in the diagnosis and treatment of OSAHS.

Objective To illustrate the evaluation effect of bivariate analysis of sensitivity and specificity meta-analysis model in diagnosis test to provide basis for selecting better evaluation method of diagnostic test.Methods Bivariate model was presented by reanalyzing the data from a published meta-analysis of two diagnostic techniques in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica.Results The bivariate model could directly provide summary estimates of(logit)sensitivity,specificity and DOR with corresponding 95% CI for two diagnostic tests(IHA and ELISA).Also,it could elicit any significant difference that existed among sensitivity,specificity and DOR between the two diagnostic methods,and incorporate any correlation that existed between sensitivity;specificity.Conclusion The bivariate model preserves the two dimensional nature of the original data,and separates effects of sensitivity and specificity,which is more rational than a net effect on diagnostic odds ratio scale as in SROC approach.The bivariate model is appropriate and agile,and can be used as an extension and improvement of the traditional SROC method.

Objective To explore the relation between the enlargement of orbital volume and the degree of enophthalmos, and that between the enlarged volume of floor together with that of medial wall and the degree of enophthalmos. Methods A total of 17 patients of unilarteral orbital fracture were scanned by MSCT (slice width 0.625mm), who suffered late enophthalmos as a results of combination fracture of the medial wall and floor. The clinical data were collected, and input into a software named MIMICS in order to measure orbital volume, the degree of enophthalmos, the enlarged volume of medial wall, and that of orbital floor. Simple linear correlation and regression were carried out between the enlargement of orbital volume and the degree of enophthalmos. Mutiple linear correlation and regression were carried out between the enlarging volume of floor together with that of medial wall and the degree of enophthalmos. Results The equation of the enlargement of orbital volume (V) and the degree of enophthalmos (E) was E= 0.851 V-0.197 (Pearson r=0.969, P＜0.01, the 95% confidence intervals of 0.732-0.970). The standardized equation between the enlarged volume of floor together with that of medial wall and the degree of enophthalmos was E= 0.690 VF+0.413 VM-0. 086 (setpwise, entry =0.5, removal= 0. 11,P＜0.01 ); Comparing the standardized coefficients of independent variables, the outcome was bF (0.690) ＞ bM(0.413). Conclusion Significant linear correlation between the increment of the orbital volume and the degree of enophthalmos is found that 1.0 ml enlargeement in bony volume causes approximately 0.9 mm of enophthalmos; enlarged volume of floor has more powerful influence on the degree of enophthalmos than enlarged volume of medial wall, the former is 1.56 times of the latter.

Objective To establish the quality standards of Zizhu ointment. Methods The TLC was applied to identify Radix arnebiae and borneol of Zizhu ointment, and the content of borneol was determined by gas chromatography. Results The TLC spots were clear, well-separated and easy to identify. The good linear range of borneol reference substance on calibration curve was 0.048 4-1.210 0 μg, and the recovery was 90%-110%, the relative standard deviation was less than 5%. Conclusion The method is simple and feasible, can be used as the quality control method of Zizhu ointment.

Objective To assess the effect of QRS duration (QRSd) and cardiac function during right ventricular apex(RVA) pacing,right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) pacing and right ventricular bifocal (RV-Bi) pacing. Methods Eight patients underwent RVA pacing,RVOT pacing and RV-Bi pacing during pacemaker implantation operation.The ejection fraction (EF),stroke index (SV),cardiac output(CO),QRS QRSd,QRS axis (QRSa) were measured after each pacing at the same pacing frequency. Results Compared with RVA pacing,the EF,SV and CO increased during RVOT pacing and RV-Bi pacing.The cardiac function of RV-Bi pacing was significantly increased (P

OBJECTIVE Identify the effect of Brandt-Daroff exercises for positional vertigo with atypical positioning nystagmus.METHODS 11 cases of positional vertigo during 2006～2007 with atypical positioning nystagmus when carrying Dix-Hallpike and roll test,the nystagmus had the follwing characters:poly-positions,atypical direction,long lasting(more than 3 mins),no fatigue.After ruling out centrul neural system disorders,the patients were instructed to do Brandt-Daroff exercises 2-3 times/day,and 6-10 times every time.RESULTS After doing the exercises for 3-4 days,the vertigo of all the 11 cases were all relieved.After 1-2 weeks,10 cases were cured,syptom of the other 1 was relieved significantly,and the nystagmus was alleviated.CONCLUSION Cases with atypical positioning nystagmus may present a different kind of BPPV related with the otolith and vestibular nerve disease.Brandt-Daroff exercises was a good method for the atypical positioning nystagmus cases.

Objective To explore the value of dexamethasone(DEX) for neuronal cell injury and death by observing the effect of DEX on excitatory amino acid(EAA) and monoamine neurotransmitter in cerebral tissue of neonatal rat with hypoxia-ischemia.Methods Hypoxic-ischemic neonatal rat models were established,the levels of EAA and monoamine neurotransmitter in cerebral tissue were analyzed by using capillary electrophoresis and fluorospectrophotometry method.The rats were divided into 4 groups: small dose DEX group pre-treated with DEX(0.5 mg/kg) prior to hypoxia-ischemia,large dose DEX group pre-treated with DEX(10 mg/kg) prior to hypoxia-ischemia,HIE group and shamful operation group.Results The levels of EAA and monoamine neurotransmitter contents in HIE group were significantly higher than those in shamful operation group(P0.05).EAA contents of large dose DEX group greatly decreased compared with HIE group (P
