By exploring the different components of the lysis buffer and optimize the 2-DE conditions,established the best proteomics technical system for Populus euphratica's heteromorphic leaves,while take the heteromorphic leaves in the same blanche as the test materials to find differences between the protein expressions of the leaves.It showed that the lysis solution which containing 2mmol/L thiourea,7mmol/L urea,2% CHAPS,60mmol/L DTT and 0.2% IPG buffer could dissolve the protein better.Through tandem mass spectrum,the results show that heteromorphic leaves are different in photosynthesis and respiration.This research offered valuable informations for understanding the molecular mechanism during leaves development and elucidating the mechanism of the eco-adaptability of Populus euphratica.

Objective To investigate the relationship between epigenetic changes involving multiple modifications of histones and both happening of glioma and pathological grades of glioma.Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed on 67 samples that were cut off from patients with gliomas who made their definite diagnosis from 2006 to 2008 to evaluate the level of histone 4 lysine 12 acetylation (H4K12Ac), histone 4 arginine 3 monomethylation (H4R3monoMe) and histone 4 lysine 20 acetylation (H3K18Ac). Results H4K12Ac, H4R3monoMe and H4K20triMe were all detected at high frequencies in tumor tissue of glioma. The expressions of H4K12Ac and H4R3monoMe were positively correlated with increasing WHO pathological grades (P＜0.05), while H4K20triMe staining was not significantly correlated with WHO pathological grades (P＞0.05). Conclusion Multiple modifications of histones may affect several steps in tumor cell biology, and may have a prognostic value in gliomas since specific modifications were correlated with WHO pathological grades of glioma.

Methods RGD\|polypeptide (224) (RGD), Echistatin(Ech) and 17 ? estrodiol (E\-2) were added into osteoclast like cells (OLC) and ivory bone slices co\|cultured system. Results It has been found that 10 -7 mol/L RGD, Ech and E\-2 decreased the number of resorption lacunae, resorption area and resorption cave on bone slices in various degrees.Conclusion RGD, Ech and E\-2 inhibits the bone resorption activities in various degrees.

Objective To evaluate the safety and accuracy of CT-guided cutting needle biopsy for the hepatic lesions near diaphragmatic dome.Methods A total of 25 cases with hepatic lesions near the diaphragmatic dome were undertaken CT-guided cutting needle biopsy using 16 gauge or 18 gauge core biopsy needles.Results Histological examination showed malignancy in 17 cases and benign in 8 with 2 false negative results(8%),and there were no false positive results.The specificities of malignant and benign lesions were 100% and 75%,respectively.Overall accuracy was 92%.Pneumothorax,needle tract hemorrhage,and subcapsular hepatic hemorrhage occurred in 2(8%),1(4%)and 1(4%),respectively.Conclusion CT-guided cutting needle biopsy for the hepatic lesions near diaphragmatic dome is a reliable and relatively safe diagnostic method.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:838-840)

Microbial lipase,one of important industrial biocatalysts,has been used widely in many industrial and agricultural fields.It is always the research focus to screen,mine and develop the microbial lipases with novel catalytic activity and high stability.This paper introduces briefly the pathways and methods to mine novel microbial lipase resources from six aspects,including extremophile,metagenome,genome database,protein engineering,immobilization,chemical modification,etc.

Based on the Bacillus sp., isolated from Lop Nur Desert, the technology of separation and purification and the antioxidant effect were studied. After centrifugation and vacuum filtration, the deproteinization of supernatant was operated with Sevag reagent. The crude exopolysaccharide (EPS) was obtained by precipitation with ethanol. The optimum conditions for the isolation were as follow: pH 7.0, temperature 4?C, time 1.5 h, and material to ethanol ratio 1: 4. Dissolved in water, the crude EPS was fractional separated on activated carbon column (1.5 cm ? 24 cm), eluted with distilled water, 60% ethanol, 95% ethanol, and the main fraction was collected. Then the EPS was purified on Sephadex G-100 gel column, eluted with NaCl (0.2 mol/L). Fractions (4 mL, each) were also combined according to total sugar by phenol-sulfuric acid method and protein content was determined by Coomassie brilliant blue. The results showed that EPS was relatively homogeneous glycoprotein. The data of antioxidation in vitro showed that the EPS had a high antioxidant activity, which could quench hydroxyl radical, superoxide radical and had antilipid peroxidation activity. All of these indicated that EPS was a good natural antioxidant.

Purpose :To study the effect of bFGF on the idiopathic oligoasthenospermia. Methods:bFGF wasused for 34 patients with idiopathic oligoasthenospermia in the male infertility. The immunohistochemical tech-nique, radioimmunoassay, electromicroscope technique and semen quality analysis were used to investigate thestructure and function of testile of patients. Results: bFGF could promote the proliferation of spermatogenouscells, improve arrangement of cells and ultrastructure of testile. All patients semen were improved. Sexual hor-mones (PRL, FSH, LH, T) in serum araised. The ability of reproduction of patients was increased consequent-ly. Conclusions:bFGF is an effective drug for patients with idiopathic oligoasthenospermia in the male infertility.

OBJECTIVETo radiographically analyze the osseous fixation zone for the iliac crest external fixation with Schanz screws and in order to guide their placement.

METHODSNine adults with 2.0-mm-slice continuous pelvic axial CT scans were selected as research subjects. Each CT scan data was imported into MIMICS 10.0. The osseous fixation zone the upper portion of the anterior column of the acetabulum which is located between the anterior superior iliac spine and the gluteal medius pillar and between the iliac crest and the acetabulum-for the iliac crest external fixation with Schanz screws was reconstructed into true sagittal and true coronal planes by using the software. Then the measurements were taken on the reconstructed planes with measuring tools. Finally, the measured data was analyzed.

RESULTSThe palpable iliac crest segment, which was of 49.6 mm width and located 16.5 mm posterior to the anterior superior iliac spine could be used to locate the start points of the Schanz screws. Under the above-mentioned iliac crest segment, the osseous zone was deep, got ample bony materials and could intraosseously contain Schanz screws with 5.0 mm diameter. The screws could be safely inserted to a minimal depth of 71.7 mm towards the acetabular dome and to a maximal depth of 143.5 mm posterior to the acetabulum.

CONCLUSIONThe study can guide the effective insertion of the iliac crest Schanz screws. By setting a suitable start point in the above-mentioned iliac crest region and angling correctly relative to the acetabulum,the Schanz screw can be inserted into the relative strong cancellous bone above or posterior to the acetabulum with a considerable depth, to getting more bone engagement.
