BACKGROUND: MyoD gene is one of family members of muscle transcription factors. Transfection MyoD gene can switch on the procedure of differentiation of muscles, and transit non-muscle cells into muscle cells.The MyoD gene only expresses in skeletal muscles. Based on the same contractive structure in myocardial cells and skeletal muscle cells, it is imagined that the conversion from exogenous MyoD gene-induced fibroblast in local myocardium into skeletal muscle cells that had contractive function may become another method in the treatment of congestive heart failure on clinic.OBJECTIVE: To construct and identify a recombinant adenoviral vector carrying MyoD gene for further studies on the recovery function of MyoD gene in myocardial injury.DESIGN: Single sample experiment.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, First Affiliated Hospital, Nanjing Medical University.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted at the Laboratory of Microbiology and Immunology, Nanjing Medical University between September 2004 and September 2005. MyoD gene and non-replicating form expressive vector of adenovirus were taken as research materials.METHODS: MyoD cDNA fragments were extracted from plasmids pEMSV-MyoD with polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and PCR was used to clone the whole-length gene of MyoD. After adding CACC sequence at 5' end, MyoD gene was cloned by orient topology into transfer ventor, pENTR/D-TOPO. Objective gene was transferred into adenoviral expression vector DNA via pENTR/D-TOPO vector. The recombinant adenoviral vectors transfected into HEK293A cells by using lipofectamine were packaged and amplified.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Evaluation of PCR and DNA sequencing were used for confirming the size of segment and correctness of rank of MyoD cDNA and detecting the titre of virus.RESULTS: MyoD recombinant adenovirus contained target segment with precise length confirmed by PCR and DNA sequence that was correct. The titre of virus was 1.3×1011 pfu/mL.CONCLUSION: The recombinant adenoviral vector carrying MyoD gene is constructed successfully.

The synchronous fluorescence spectra of myoglobin were studies for the first time. The fluorescence peaks observed in the spectra were assigned. When the wavelength interval (Δλ) is 80 nm, the main peak at 335 nm is originated from the tryptophan residues in the myoglobin molecule. When Δλis 20 mn, the peak at 308 nm is mainly due to the tyrosine residues in the myoglobin molecule and in a small part due to the tryptophan residues.Two peaks at 322 and 596 nm were observed in the spectrum of myoglobin for Δλ = 40 nm. The peak at 322 nm is due to both tyrosine and tryptophan residues. The peak at 596 nm is attributed to the heme group in the myoglobin molecule .

BACKGROUND:Hydroxyapatite/gel nano-composite has the same mechanical strength to the natural bone, but its ability to repair bone defects and osteogenic effect need to be confirmed by further studies.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the repair effect of hydroxyapatite/gel bionic composite in skul defects of rabbits.
METHODS: The hole-like calvarium defect models were established in rabbits, and treated with hydroxyapatite/ gel composites (hydroxyapatite/gel group), autologous skul as positive control (autologous bone group) and
nothing as negative control (blank group). The repairing condition in the skul defect areas were observed and analyzed by X-ray and CT at 4, 8, 12 weeks after implantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: After 8 weeks, X-ray assessment showed that normal-like bone tissue appeared in the defect region of the autologous bone group; in the hydroxyapatite/gel group, dense bone with similar
morphology to normal bone tissue was found in the central site of defect region, and the boundary was slightly blurred. After 12 weeks, the hydroxyapatite/gel showed blurred edge compared with autologous bone, and the center of the composite was disconnected; in the blank group, a clear and regular transmitted shadow was
observed. After 12 weeks, CT examination showed that the hydroxyapatite/gel was connected tightly with the surrounding normal bone tissue. As a new bionic composite, the hydroxyapatite/gel can achieve good effect in repairing skul defects of rabbits.

Objective:To investigate the effects of continuous substaneous insulin infusion (CSII) on islet β cell function in newly diagnosed diabetic patients.Methods:Forty-six newly diagnosed diabetic patients who received treatment in Taishan People's Hospital from July 2011 to June 2014 were included in this study. They were treated with CSII for 14 days and followed up for 5 years. Before and after treatment, fasting blood glucose (FPG), 2-h postprandial blood glucose (2hPG), triglyceride (TG), fasting insulin (FINS), 2-h postprandial insulin (2hINS), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA) and the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index, Homeostasis Model Assessment for beta-cell function (HOMA-β) index were compared between before treatment and 5 years after treatment.Results:Five years after treatment, the levels of FPG, 2hPG, TG, HbA1c, MDA and HOMA-IR were lower than those before treatment [FPG: (11.3 ± 1.2) mmol/L vs. (5.9 ± 0.4) mmol/L, t = 15.35, P < 0.01; 2hPG: (18.1 ± 4.2) mmol/L vs. (8.1 ± 1.6) mmol/L, t = 16.83, P < 0.01; TG: (2.9 ± 1.1) mmol/L vs. (1.5 ± 0.6) mmol/L, t = 9.81, P < 0.01; HbA1c: (11.2 ± 2.5)% vs. (5.6 ± 1.0)%, t = 11.48, P < 0.01; MDA: (4.6 ± 1.2) μmol/L vs. (2.7 ± 0.9) μmmol/L, t = 16.37, P < 0.01; HOMA-IR: (2.81 ± 0.35) vs. (1.87 ± 0.32), t = 9.37, P < 0.01]. Five years after treatment, the levels of FINS, 2hINS, SOD and HOMA-β were significantly higher than those before treatment [FINS: (5.6 ± 1.3) mU/L vs. (7.4 ± 1.5) mU/L, t = - 6.15, P < 0.01; 2hINS: (15.8 ± 7.5) mU/L vs. (25.8 ± 9.1) mU/L, t = - 5.65, P < 0.01; SOD: (28.9 ± 7.6) U/L vs. (39.6 ± 7.8) U/L, t = - 7.93, P < 0.01; HOMA-β: (14.36 ± 3.82) vs. (65.67 ± 6.67), t = - 18.72, P < 0.01]. Linear regression analysis showed that HOMA-β was positively correlated with SOD level ( R2 = 0.319, P < 0.01). Five years after treatment, the final outcome was insulin therapy in 3 cases (6.5%), oral medication in 25 cases (54.4%), and lifestyle intervention in 18 cases (39.1%). Conclusion:CS II for the treatment of newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus can effectively inhibit oxidative stress, improve the function of islet β cells, and exhibit long-term effects.

Objective To explore effects of Naikan cognitive therapy on improving clinical symptoms in patients with convalescent schizophrenia. Methods The 69 convalescent schizophrenic patients with convalescent clinical state were consecutively recruited. All the patients were divided into Naikan cognitive therapy ( NCT) group an control group at random and were pretreated with antipsychotic agent therapy. In NCT group,the patients received NCT for successive 7 days. In control group,the patients only received antipsychotic agent therapy. Pre-and post-treatment positive and negative syndrome scale( PANSS) , Nurses'observation scale for inpatient evaluation (NOSIE) were administered to all subjects. Results ① A significant decrease occurred in PANSS total score, negative symptom score, positive symptom score, compound scale score, general psychopathology score, reaction retardation score and paranoid score in NCT group ( t = 2. 672~7. 370, P < 0. 05). In the post-treatment, PANSS total score, negative symptom score, positive symptom score, compound scale score, reaction retardation score and thought disorder score were significantly lower in NCT group than those in control group ( t ' = 2. 696, P = 0. 009; t = 5. 186, P=0.000; t = 3.757, P = 0.001; t = 2.634,P = 0.011; t ' =2.376, P = 0.021). ②A significant decrease occurred in NOSIE total negative score( 10.43 ± 9. 24 vs 13. 87 ± 8. 03, t = 3. 463 , P = 0. 002) , irritation score(3. 13 ±0.43 vs8.53 ±4.98, t = 6. 139, P=0.000) and retardation score(1.07 ± 1.64 vs 2. 20 ±2.85, t = 2.067, P = 0.048) in NCT group. Conclusion NCT can possibly improve part clinical symptoms of patients with convalescent schizophrenia to a certain extent,especially negative symptom,but need to further prove the effect of NaiKan cognitive therapy.
