1.Imaging of transient ischemic attack
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;(10):766-771
The causes of transient ischemic attack (TIA) are diverse and complex.It often attacks repeatedly and its early risk of stroke is high.Identifying etiology and pathogenesis and start the correct treatment in time are the important measures for the prevention of cerebral infarction.However,the conventional CT and MRI reveal no abnormalities in patients with TIA,and it brings difficulties to the clinical diagnosis and treatment.CT perfusion imaging can reflect abnormal cerebral blood flow perfusion in patients with TIA.CT perfusion imaging in combination with CT angiography may visually display its corresponding abnormal changes in the feeding artery and provide the valuable diagnostic information for the location of vascular stenosis,severity,plaque characteristics and collateral circulation.It has very an important significance for guiding clinicians to choose the best treatment options,improve clinic efficiency and observe efficacy.

Hepcidin are small cationic peptides with antibacterial activity expressed mainly in the liver of living organisms, and they play important roles in the host's immune response against microbial invasion and regulation of iron metabolism. Thus, they are considered to be good substitutes for traditional antibiotics. It is a good choice that the antimicrobial peptides are prepared by recombinant DNA expression. In the present study, two hepcidin mature peptide cDNAs from channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) (mCH) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) (mTH) were connected by SOE-PCR in order to obtain more recombinant hepcidin with broad antimicrobial spectrum, and EcoR I and Not I sites were added to 5'- and 3'- ends of the fragment, respectively. The recombinant eukaryotic expression vector "pPIC9K-mCH-mTH" was successfully constructed, and transformed into Pichia pastoris GS115. The transformants containing multicopy gene insertion were selected by using different concentrations of G418 and other specific mediums, and identified by PCR for yeast genomic DNA. Expression was induced by adding 1% methanol at 30 degrees C for different times. Tricine-SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that the most appropriate expression time was 72 h, at which a high expression yield (77 mg/L) for the target protein was exhibited. The highly purified target protein was obtained from the fermentation supernatant by SP-Sepharose cation exchange chromatography. Bacteriostatic activity assay demonstrated that the fermentation supernatant containing the target protein and purified recombinant target protein had bacteriostatic activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacterium. The present result provides the important initial value for industrial production of hepcidin antimicrobial peptide.
