Objective To express recombinant human interferon λ1(rhIFNλ1)by transient transfection in HEK-293F cells and identify it. Methods Two signal peptides[T cell receptor(TCR)and nature signal peptide(NSP)],three vectors[pcDNA3.4,ubiquitous chromatin opening element(UCOE)and PFR]and the target gene rhIFNλ1 were used to construct recombinant plasmids of six signal peptide-vector combinations. Using HEK-293F as host cells,the recombinant plasmids were transfected transiently to express rhIFNλ1 on a shake flask scale. The recombinant plasmid UCOE-Q46-λ with low glycosylation rhIFNλ1 was constructed by using NSP and vector UCOE,and transfected transiently into HEK-293F cells. The expressed product was purified by cation exchange chromatography(HiTrap SP FF),blue gel chromatography(HiTrap Blue HP)and gel filtration chromatography(Sephacryl S-100 HR),which was then analyzed by Western blot and reversed-phase HPLC,and determined for its molecular mass and N-terminal amino acid sequence by mass spectrometry. Results Six recombinant plasmids were constructed correctly as identified by double enzyme digestion and sequencing. With the extension of transfection time,the expression levels of the six expressed products increased gradually,and reached the highest level of10 ～ 20 mg/L at the 6th day of transfection. Double enzyme digestion and sequencing identification proved that the recombinant plasmid UCOE-Q46-λ with low glycosylation rhIFNλ1 was constructed correctly. The recombinant plasmid UCOE-Q46-λwas transfected into HEK-293F cells for 6 d. The purified product of cell culture supernatant showed a relative molecular mass of about 27 800 and a purity of 97. 372%,which showed specific binding to mouse anti-human IL-29/IFNλ1 monoclonal antibody;Two peaks were detected by reversed-phase HPLC,and the peak was showed at 15. 6 min and 20. 0 min respectively;The mass spectrometry molecular mass was about 24 000;The N-terminal five amino acids were G-P-V-P-T.Conclusion The rhIFNλ1 expressed by HEK-293F cells has high purity,which lays a foundation of further study of the protein.

Objective To investigate the expression of minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7) in sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC),and evaluate its relationship with tumor differentiation and prognosis of patients.Methods Using immunohistochemistry,MCM7 expression in SNSCC and nasal polyps with chronic sinusitis (NPCRS) were studied,and relationships between markers and clinicapathological features were analyzed.Results In NPCRS,MCM7 positive cells were mainly distributed in the epithelial basal layer and the expression rate was low,whereas in SNSCC,MCM7 positive cells were diffuse and the expression rate was high.MCM7 expression was significantly higher in SNSCC than in NPCRS (P ＜ 0.001) and related to tumor differentiation (P =0.001),increasing gradually with decreasing degree of differentiation.The overall 3-and 5-year survival rates of patients with SNSCC were 61.3％ and 46％,respectively.The 3-year survival rates for patients with stage Ⅰ and Ⅳ were 90％ and 25.6％,respectively,and the 5-year survival rates were 70％ and 17.1％,respectively;the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.001).The 3-and 5-year survival rates of MCM7-negative patients were 36.0％ and 18.0％,respectively,and those of MCM7-positive patients were 59.9％ and 34.2％,respectively;the difference was not statistically significant (P =0.297).Conclusion In SNSCC,MCM7 expression is significantly increased,inversely associated with the degree of tumor differeutiation,and unrelated to the survival rates of patients.

Objective:To explore the effect of spinal interleutkin-33 (IL-33) on radicular pain in rats modeling non-compressive lumbar disc herniation.Methods:A total of 80 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group, a model group, a lentivirus negative control group, a low-dose IL-33 recombinant lentivirus group and a high-dose IL-33 group, each of 16. Non-compressive lumbar disc herniation was successfully induced in all except the rats in the sham operation group. Two days later, the model group was injected intrathecally with 10μl of enhanced infection solution. The lentivirus control group received 10μl of negative lentivirus, the low-dose IL-33 recombinant lentivirus group received 5μl of IL-33 recombinant lentivirus and the high-dose IL-33 recombinant lentivirus group received 10μl of IL-33 recombinant lentivirus. The 50% paw withdrawal threshold (50% PWT) was measured one day before the modeling and on the 1 st, 3 rd, 5 th, 7 th, 9 th, 11 th, 13 th, 15 th, 17 th, 19 th, and 21 st day afterward. On the 12 th day the expressions of IL-33 protein and mRNA were evaluated. Results:The average expression of IL-33 protein and mRNA in the model and the lentivirus negative control group increased significantly after the modelling compared with the sham group, while expression in the low- and high-dose IL-33 recombinant lentivirus groups was significantly lower than in the lentivirus negative control group. Compared with one day before the modelling, average 50% PWTs on the affected side decreased significantly in all of the modelling groups. From the 9 th to the 21 st day significantly increased 50% PWTs were observed on the affected side in the low-dose and high-dose IL-33 recombinant lentivirus groups compared with the other two modelling groups. Immunostaining showed significant increase in the expression of IL-33 in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord in the model group, compared with the sham operation group. Significant decrease in the average expression of IL-33 in the spinal dorsal horns was observed in the low-dose and high-dose IL-33 recombinant lentivirus groups. Conclusions:Intervertebral disk herniation may increase the expression of IL-33 in the spinal cord, and may cause radicular pain.

Objective: To investigate the development of osteoporosis (OS) and its influencing factors among physical examination populations aged over 35 years in urban areas of Hangzhou City, so as to provide insights into OP prevention. Methods: Subjects aged over 35 years that underwent physical examinations in Wenhui Street Community Health Service Center of Gongshu District, Hanghzhou City during the period between April and July, 2022 were enrolled. Subjects' demographic characteristics and physical examination data were collected, and the bone mineral density and serum vitamin D levels were measured. The factors affecting the development of OP were identified using a logistic regression model. Results: A total of 1 561 subjects were recruited, including 616 males (39.46%) with a median (interquartile range) age of 62 (18) years, and 945 females (60.54%) with a median (interquartile range) age of 62 (19) years. The prevalence of OP was 43.69% among the study subjects. Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified women (OR=1.367, 95%CI: 1.105-2.979) and increased age (OR=1.057, 95%CI: 1.044-1.069) as risk factors for OP and elevated serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D levels as a protective factor for OP (OR=0.969, 95%CI: 0.954-0.985). Conclusions The prevalence of OP was 43.69% among physical examination populations aged over 35 years in urban areas of Hangzhou City, and gender, age and serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D were factors affecting the development of OP.
