Objective To investigate the time, location and relationship to clinical manifestation of abnormal expression of tyrosine hydroxylase(TH) in the cerebellum of Niemann\|Pick type C disease (NPC). Methods Immunohistochemical staining was applied, by using antibodies to TH, to brain sections from NPC and normal mice of various ages. Some adjacent sections were stained for calbindin D28k. Results There was no marked decrease in number of cerebellar Purkinje cells(PC), which were negatively stained for TH, in the NPC mice aged 1\|3 weeks. The PC were decreased in number starting from week 5. During postnatal weeks 8\|11, PC were significantly lost, but considerable number of PC in the nodulus and uvula vermis survived. Some survived PC and their dendritic trees were TH immunoreactive after week 8. These PC showed axonal spheroids and irregular dendrites that were bent, broken, locally enlarged or atrophied. Conclusion Mutation of NPC1 gene induces severe loss of cerebellar PC and survived PC have been damaged morphologically and show abnormal gene activity. These may be the pathogenic basis of movement disorders of NPC.

Objective To investigate the distribution of five indicators of hepatitis B(HBV-M)and its relationship with liver function parameters and HBV-DNA load in patients with chronic HBV infection in different stages.Methods The serum samples were collected from 456 patients infected with HBV.The HBV-M,liver functional parameters and HBV-DNA level were quantita-tively detected.According to the stages of disease,the patients were divided into 3 groups including chronic hepatitis B group(inclu-ding mild subgroup,moderate subgroup and severe subgroup),liver cirrhosis group(including compensatory subgroup,decompen-sated subgroup)and hepatocellular carcinoma goup.Results The ratio of HBsAg,HBeAg,HBcAb positive pattern(135 pattern) and HBsAg,HBeAb,HBcAb positive pattern(145 pattern)in the three groups were statistically different(P <0.05).In each chron-ic hepatitis B subgroup,both ALT and AST levels of 135 pattern were significantly higher than the other two patterns(P <0.05). In each liver cirrhosis subgroup and hepatocellular carcinoma group,there were statistically significant differences in ALB and TBIL levels between the three patterns(P <0.05 ).In each group,the HBV-DNA level of 135 positive pattern were significantly higher than the other two patterns(P <0.05).Conclusion With the advancement of chronic hepatitis B,there is a downtrend in the ratio of 135 pattern and increasing trend in the ratio of 145 pattern.If the stage of hepatitis B is discriminated,ALT,AST,ALB TBIL and HBV-DNA level were closely related to HBV-M pattern.

Objective To observe the variation of the blood pressure in patients with persistent vegetative state (PVS) during whirl-pool-bubble bath. Methods 5 PVS patients accepted whirlpool-bubble both therapy, 38℃for 20 minutes. Their blood pressure was recorded 0, 10 and 20 minutes after immersing for 4 weeks. Results The systolic pressure decreased 20 minutes after immersing compared with that just immersing, but all above 60 mmHg. The systolic and diastolic pressure maintained in a satisfactory range during whirlpool-bubble bath. Conclusion Hypotension has not been found in the patients with PVS during whirlpool-bubble bath.

The purified 3C8 was obtained by two step column purification,including Protein G affinity purification and DEAE anion exchange purification.The purity of purified 3C8 was about 93% when analyzed by reverse column.SDS-PAGE showed that the purity of 3C8 was increased greatly by two step purification.By flowcytometry we found that 3C8 specifically binded with B7-H4/293T cells and did not bind with Mock/293T cells,moreover 3C8 did not bind with other B7 family members transgene cells.In confocal experiment 3C8 could specifically stained B7-H4/293T cells.In Western blot only B7-H4/293T cells showed positive band while Mock/293T cells showed negative result.The result of immunohistochemistry showed that B7-H4 was highly expressed in prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma,while para-cancer tissues did not express B7-H4.The T cell proliferation experiment showed that B7-H4-Ig could bind to activate T cells and inhibit T cell proliferation,while 3C8 could block the binding of B7-H4-Ig and reverse the T cell proliferation inhibition effect of B7-H4-Ig by CFSE and CCK8 assay.The cytokine IFN-γ and IL-2 secreted by activating T cells was decreased by B7-H4-Ig and 3C8 could reverse the effect of B7-H4-Ig.

A series of phthalazine ketone compounds were synthesized and the structures were confirmed by H NMR and HR-MS spectrum. All target compounds were obtained through 7 steps, including selective reduction, nitration, bromination, ring enlargement, reduction, Knoevenagel and acylated reaction. The compounds were evaluated for their immunosuppressive effects of T-cell proliferation and inhibitory activity of IMPDH type II in vitro, as well as their structure-activity relationship were assessed. Several compounds exhibited strong immunosuppressive properties, especially compounds 7f and 7h, with IC50 values of 0.093 micromol x L(-1) and 0.14 micromol x L(-1) respectively, which were superior to mycophenolic acid. The information obtained from the studies may be useful for further research on the immunosuppressive agents.

In order to develop potent antidiabetic agents that have inhibitory effect to a-glucosidase, twelve β-acetamido ketone derivatives such as N-{[(substituted-4-oxo-thiochroman-3-yl)phenyl]-methyl}acetamide are designed and synthesized through one-pot Dakin-West reaction. Their chemical structures are confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR and HR-MS. In vitro α-glucosidase inhibition assays of compounds 4a-41 were carried out using glucose oxidase method. The result indicated that most of them possess inhibitory activity in vitro. Compound 4k showed the most potent inhibitory activity with 87.3% inhibition of α-glucosidase at the concentration of 5.39 mmol x L(-1). The structure-activity relationship of these β-acetamido ketone derivatives was discussed preliminarily. Moreover, the molecular docking method was used to study the interaction mode of compound 4k and α-glucosidase. Our results will be helpful for designing of α-glucosidase inhibitors in the future.
