AIM To study the effects of Aβ25~35 and Apo E4 on neuronal intracellular free Ca2+([Ca2+]i). METHODS Hippocampal and cortical neurons suspension of newborn(0~3 days) SD rats was produced. After incubated with fura-2/AM,the neurons suspension was divided into four groups: control, Aβ25~35, Apo E4, Aβ25~35+Apo E4. Each groups [Ca2+]i was measured using a RF-5000 dual wavelength spectrofluorometer after incubated with double distilled water, Aβ25~35, Apo E4, Aβ25~35+Apo E4 for 3 min, respectively.

A reusable chronocoulometric adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-aptamer sensor was developed in this work.A short chain of DNA marked as cDNA containing complementary sequence was immobilized on gold electrode based on Au-S self-assembly.The ATP aptamer was hybridized with cDNA.The surface-confined DNA could bind with [Ru(NH3)63+ (RuHex) in the electrolyte via electrostatic interaction.Upon target ATP binding, the aptamer confined onto electrode surface was disassociated from the cDNA oligonucleotides into the solution.Such surface density change of DNA lead to the decrease of chronocoulometric signal for the RuHex which confined on the electrode surface.The chronocoulometric signals showed a linear relationship with logrithm of ATP concentration in the range of 1 nmol/L to 100 μmol/L, and the detection limit of this aptamer sensor could reach 0.5 nmol/L (S/N=3).This aptamer sensor could be regenerated 5 times by simple steps.With this aptamer sensor, the basal level of ATP in the brain cortex micorodialysate was determined to be 19.2±3.7 nmol/L (n=3).

Objective To study the inlfuence factors on detection of activity of four coagulation factors in prothrombin complex concentrates (PCC) by several factors. Methods Using Pharmacopoeia of the People’s Republic of China (2010) as reference, the activity of four coagulation factors in PCC were investigated by choosing different pre-treatments, different diluents, different salt concentration, different standard human plasma and different company reagents. Results The activity of FII, FVII, FX were decreased and FIX was increased in the condition of adding protamine sulfate, and there were no differences of four coagulation factors whether warm bath in 37 for 15 min or not. However, the differences of four coagulation factors were significant by using deficient plasma, saline, distilled water and commercial dilution buffer(P<0.05). The activity of coagulation factor II, X in 1 mol/L salt concentration of PCC were significantly lower than in 0.25 mol/L(P<0.05), while coagulation factor VII, IX were not. The activity of FII, FVII, FIX, and FX were different by using different standard human plasma to make standard curve. The activity of four coagulation factors existed significant difference(P=0.00) by using SIEMENS company reagents and domestic reagents. Conclusion Choosing different pre-treatments, different dilution buffers, salt concentration, standard human plasma and commercial kits will inlfuence the detection result of coagulation factors.

Objective To explore the prognosis value of serum hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation HI (APACHE Ⅲ) scores in critically ill patients. Methods The serum H2S levels were measured in 72 cases and 12 controls by spectrophotometry. The APACHE Ⅲ scores of the patients were assessed. The relationship between serum H2S concentration and APACHE H scores and prognosis were analyzed. Results The average serum H2S concentration of the 72 cases was (45. 6 ±17.2) μmol/L The concentration in the survival group was(41. 1 ± 14. 7) μmol/L,and which was significantly lower than in the dead group(62. 8 ±15. 5)μmol/L,(P<0. 01). The average APACHE I score was(43. 6 ±26. 0)of the 72 cases. The APACHE Ⅲ score was(37. 7 ±22. 2) in the survival group,and which was significantly lower than in the dead group (65. 0 ±29. 6) (P <0. 01). The higher of the serum H2S concentration or APACHE Ⅲ scores,the higher mortality of the patients(P <0. 01). Conclusions Serum H2S levels and APACHE Ⅲ scores of critically ill patients have a role in judging the condition and prognosis of the patients.

In order to study the structure-function relationship in the protein which is incorporated with p-nitro-L-phenylalanine,the method of MD(Molecular Dynamics) simulation was established and successfully used in the analysis of protein which contains p-nitro-L-phenylalanine.The force field of CHARMM can only stimulate protein with natural amino acid in NAMD.Compared with phenylalanine,p-nitro-L-phenylalanine just has one more group of nitro.If the parameter of group of nitro was defined,the protein containing p-nitro-L-phenylalanine can be simulated.CGenFF-paramchem was used to calculate the energy and topological structure of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine' s new bonds (r),angles (θ),dihendrals (φ) and improper angle (ψ).And then the new defined parameter and topology information was input into the related parameter files and topology files in CHARMM.On the basis of correct parameter,NAMD can successfully simulate the modified BAFF(B lymphocyte stimulator) which contains p-nitro-L-phenylalanine.The changes in structure indicated that there might be new B cell epitopes.The temperature distribution of each frame in the process of dynamics stimulation was in accord with normal distribution,which proved the defined force field parameters was feasible.The RMSD of whole protein solution systemis 2.5.Calculate each resides' RMSF in BAFF,the RMSF of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine's residue is 3.7,which is obviously higher than that of the other residues in β-pleated sheet,and close to the loop rings,indicate that there might be variation in the area of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine residue and might produce new comformational epitopes.The results of MD stimulation will guide the immunogenicity experiments of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine modified proteins.

Objective To explore the functionalternation of human cholangiocarcinoma cell line HUCCA-1 by silenc?ing Gab1 expression;to detect its effect on PI3KCA and Akt1 expression at protein and mRNA levels and to explore the role of Gab1,PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions in the malignant behavior of cholangiocarcinoma. Methods Gab1 siRNA was trans? fected into cholangiocarcinoma cell line HUCCA-1. Proliferation, apoptosis, migration/invasion of cells were examined by MTT, flow cytometry and Transwell assay respectively after transfection. PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions were detected by Western blotting and qPCR. Results Transfection efficiency was satisfactory and reaches 65%~70%;PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions were down-regulated at both protein and mRNA levels upon silencing of Gab1. Meanwhile, proliferations of HUCCA-1 cells were inhibited (P<0.01);apoptosis rate increases(P<0.05);and migration and invasion were both inhibit?ed upon Gab1 silencing(P<0.05). Conclusion The proliferation, migration and invasion are all inhibited while apoptosis is attenuated after Gab1 was down-regulated by Gab1 siRNA transfection. PI3KCA and Akt1 expressions are up-regulated with down-regulation of Gab1. Therefore, Gab1 may enhance the maglinant behavior of cholangiocarcinoma cells through up-regulating PI3KCA and Akt1 expression and it can be used as a candidate for cholangiocarcinoma therapy.
