Objective To investigate human plasma glycoproteomie changes related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection,and to identify glycoproteins with potential anti-HIV activity or anti-HIV drug targets. Methods Plasma proteins with lower abundance were enriched through affinity purification to remove albumin and IgG in clinical samples (HIV-positive patient, n= 10, and healthy controls, n= 20). Proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and stained by Pro-Q emerald glycoprotein stain kits. The 2-DE image was analyzed by ImageMaster software to find differential glycoproteins. Furthermore, the depleted HIV-positive and healthy control plasma proteins were digested by PNGase F. Glycoproteins were deglycoliszed, separated by 2-DE and analyzed by ImageMaster software. Differential glycoproteins were identified by liquid chromatography combined with high capacity ion trap mass spectrometry (HCT). Results The pretreatment of HIV-positive plasma prior to 2-DE could efficiently remove the high aboundant albumin and IgG in plasma and improve the detection of proteins with low-abundance. High revolution 2-DE gel images of glycoproteins from HIV positive and healthy control plasma samples were obtained. Glycoproteins were successfully deglycolized through PNGase F treatment. Thirteen differential glycoproteins were identified by liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. These proteins included alphalantitrypsin precursor and serine/threonine-protein kinase N1. Conclusions Potential HIV infection related proteins,such as alphal-antitrypsin precursor are successfully identified. Our study may offer some help to understand the molecular mechanism of HIV infection and select new drug targets for preventing HIV infection.

Objective To evaluate endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for diagnosis and management of biliary cast syndrome after orthotropic liver transplantation. Methods A total of 71 consecutive patients with abnormal liver function and MRCP findings after liver transplantation underwent ERCP for diagnosis and management. Their data were retrospectively reviewed. Results A total of 188 sessions of ERCP were carried out on the 71 patients, most of whom were found to have stenosis of anastomotic stoma and/or bile duct. Bile sludge was found and removed in all patients diagnosed within 3 months after liver transplantation, while pigmentoid stones were found and removed in patients diagnosed within 3-6 months and biliary casts in patients diagnosed at more than 6 months. Each patient underwent 2.6 sessions averagely. Biliary casts were formed at an average time of 22. 7 ± 15.6 months after transplantation. PostERCP complications included 2 cases of pancreatitis and 3 cholangitis, with an occurrence rate of 2. 6%(5/188), which were all controlled with conservative treatment. The follow-up data was available in 56 patients showing improvement in liver function after ERCP, among who 42 met the endoscopic criteria of cure,1 0 received second liver transplantation because of progressive sclerosing cholangitis and 4 died from diseases other than liver transplantation. Conclusion Therapeutic ERCP for the biliary cast syndrome after liver transplantation is feasible, safe and effective, and can be performed repeatedly with good short-term effect.

A liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the determination of lopinavir and ritonavir in human plasma. Analytes were separated from plasma by a combination of alkalinized protein precipitation and liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C18 column with the mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.1% formic acid in water (80:20). A tandem mass spectrometer equipped with electrospray ionization source was used as detector and operated in the positive ion mode. Quantification was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the transitions m/z 629.6 --> 155.2, m/z 721.4 --> 268.2, and m/z 515.2 --> 276.2 for lopinavir, ritonavir and telmisartan (internal standard), respectively. The method showed a good linearity in a concentration range of 62.5 - 10000 ng mL(-1) for lopinavir, and 12.5 - 2000 ng mL(-1) for ritonavir. The lower limits of quantification were 15 pg mL(-1) and 8 pg mL(-1) for lopinavir and ritonavir, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precision was less than 15% and the absolute recovery was above 75%. This method was selective and rapid, sensitive for investigating blood drug concentrations in clinics.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a newly designed anti-reflux metallic stent (ARMS) for malignant extra-hepatic biliary obstruction. Methods A total of 23 patients with unresectable biliary malignancy in the middle or lower part of common bile duct underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and ARMs placement. The success rate, early complications, stent patency and patients' survival were recorded. Results The ARMSs were successfully placed in all patients and no procedure-related complication was recorded. The average operation time was similar to that of self-expanding metallic stents (SEMs). In 22 patients completing the follow-up, the total serum bilirubin dropped to normal within one month in 20. ARMs dysfunction occurred in 6, including tumor in-growth in 1, overgrowth in 2, and stent dislodgement in 3. Other patients were free of biliary symptoms until death or at the end of follow-up. The average stent patency of ARMs was 14 months. Patency rates at 3, 6, and 12 months were 95%, 74% and 56%, respectively. The mean patient survival was 7. 9 months ( 1-14 months).Postoperative survival rates at 3,6 and 12 months were 91.0%, 81.3% and 17. 2%, respectively. Conclusion Endoscopic placement of novel ARMs in patients with extra-hepatic biliary tumors is feasible,safe and effective.
