Objective: To construct mcpr1prokaryoti c expression vector and to express MCPR1 protein.Methods:PCR was used to obtain coding region of mcpr1. Construction of a high-level fusion protein expression vector pGEX-4T-mcpr1 was conducted by inserting the fra gment of coding region of mcpr1into a fusion protein expression vector pGEX -4T-1. Then the recombinant plasmid was transferred into E. colito prepar e the MCPR1/GST fusion protein. DNA sequencing and endonucleases digesting were used to check the coding region. Results:pGEX-4T- mcpr1 wa s constructed successfully and the coding region was inserted into the vector co rrectly. A new protein band of 36 000 was observed by SDS-PAGE analysis after i nduction by IPTG. The 36 000 protein amounted to 39 percent of the total prote in and existed mostly in precipitation of broken bacteria. Conclusion: MCPR1 protein can be expressed in E. coliexpression system and purif ied initially.

Objective To evaluate the clinical significance of laparoscopic resection for large intramural hysteromyoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was made concerning 42 cases of single intramural hysteromyoma as large as 6~10 cm in diameter: 24 cases underwent laparoscopic hysteromyomectomy and 18 cases received open resection. Intra- and post-operative parameters between the two groups were compared. Results All operations in the two groups were successfully completed without complications. The operative time was significantly longer in the laparoscopic group (89.0?26.9 min) than that in the open group (63.3?20.1 min) ( t=3.400,P =0.002). No statistical difference was observed in the intraoperative blood loss between the laparoscopic group (93.6?65.9 ml) and the open group (100.0?48.7 ml) ( t=-0.347, P=0.731) . The analgesic requirement was less in the laparoscopic group (2 out of 24 cases ) than that in the open group (9 out of 18 cases) ( ? 2 =7.208, P =0.007). The time to first flatus was shorter in the laparoscopic group (23.5?11.3 h) than that in the open group (32.0?13.6 h) ( t=-2.211, P =0.033). The postoperative pyrexia rate was significantly lower in the laparoscopic group (2/24) than that in the open group (7/18) ( ? 2=4.033, P =0.045). Conclusions Laparoscopic resection for larger intramural hysteromyoma is safe and reliable. As compared with open hysteromyomectomy, it offers more rapid recovery and lower postoperative pyrexia rate, as well as the same amount of blood loss. Its prolonged operative time may be associated with the relatively large size of the hysteromyoma.

Objective To explore the effect of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRAs,montelukast) on serum indicators,urine indicators,renal pathology,intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1),nephrin and podocalyxin on renal tissue in adriamycin(ADR)-induced nephropathy(ADN) rats.Methods ADN was induced through a tail intravenons injection of ADR.The 40 healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:group A (control group),group B(ADN group),group C(prednisone-treated group),group D(montelukast-treated group) and group E (prednisone and montelukast-treated group).Twenty-four-hour urinary protein (24 h-up) and serum index were measured serially in the 4th,8th week and the values of creatinine clearance rate(Ccr) were calculated.At the end of the 8th week,all rats were sacrificed to collect kidney tissues for microscopy observation of renal pathological changes.The expression of nephrin,podocalyxin and ICAM-1 in renal tissues were detected through immunohistochemistry method.Results Compared with group A,in the 4th week,24 h-up and albumin reached the level of ADR nephropathy model.Compared with group B,in the 8th week,24 h-up,cholesterol,serum creatinine and renal pathology changes in the 3 treated groups were significantly reduced (P < 0.05),but serum total protein,albumin and Ccr significantly increased (P < 0.05),while extracellular matrix/glomerulararea and renal pathology score significantly reduced (P < 0.01),and ICAM-1 significantly decreased(P <0.01).Compared with group C and group D,expressions of nephrin and podocalyxin in group E were the highest.Besides,the curative effect of integrated treatment was better than other treatments.Conclusions Maybe through inhibition of ICAM-1,LTRAs had a protective effect on renal tissue.The integrated treatment of LTRAs with prednisone has a synergistic effect and drug effect is superior to any drug alone in ADN.

Objective:To study the drug distribution in the local tissues and lymph nodes treated with targeting and continuous interstitial chemotherapy for the oral squamous cell carcinoma before operation. Methods:8 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma were treated by implanting the sustain-released cisplatin around and into the primary lesion. Drug distribution in tissue were studied by the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. Results:The drug concentration in the center of the tumor,1 cm and 2 cm from the tumor fringe were (34.877 1?15.720 8),(20.690 0 ?15.688 6) and (6.635 7?3.862 3) ?g/g, respectively. The drug concentration within lymph nodes of the sub-mental and submandibular area, deep cervical lymph nodes for the upper,middle and lower were(2.991 4?3.055 7),(4.026 0 ?3.692 0), (7.192 0 ? 8.958 7) and (5.028 5?3.484 3)?g/g, respectively. Conclusion:Targeting and continuous interstitial chemotherapy for the oral squamous cell carcinoma by implanting sustain-released cisplatin can increase drug concentration in the local tissues and the lymph nodes, to attain good efficacy of targeting chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and adverse reaction of the first line therapy with rabbit-antithymocyte globulin (ATG) combined with Cyclosporine (CsA) in children with acquired severe aplastic anemia.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed.The clinical data included 44 children with acquired severe aplastic anemia treated with ATG combined with CsA in Beijing Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between June 2006 and December 2013.The SPSS 19.0 statistical package was used for data analysis.Results Sixteen cases were severe aplastic anemia,and 28 cases were very severe aplastic anemia.The median age of treatment with ATG was 8 years old and 10 months.The median follow-up period was 24 months.The hematologic response rate was 66% (29/44 cases) in 6 months after ATG treatment,and the overall response rate was 77% (34/44 cases) at the endpoint of follow-up.The median time of partial remission (PR) was 3 months,of complete remission (CR) was 12 months.Eighty-five percent (29/34 cases)effective cases achieved PR during 6 months,while 56% (15/27 cases)cases achieved CR in 12 months.There was no significant difference between the response rate with ATG treatment and gender,severity of disease,age,interval from clinical onset to ATG treatment,and ratio of CD4 +/CD8 +.The response rate in children without serum sickness was superior to that with serum disease(P =0.006).Thirty-four cases (77%) manifested immediate side-effects with ATG infusion.The side-effects included fever,chill,rash,gastrointestinal distress and irritable cough.The overall 2-year survival rate was 87.3% (39/44 cases) and the 2-year transplantation-free survival rate was 82.5% (37/44 cases) (x2 =0.34,P =0.56).Conclusions The response rate with rabbit-ATG combined with CsA in children with acquired severe aplastic anemia was 77%.The adverse reactions were minor.The immunosuppressive therapy should begin as soon as possible in children without chance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
