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 evaluate the prophylactic effect of abdominal breathing exercises on radiation pneumonitis in patients with chest malignant tumors.Methods 100 patients with chest malignant tumors were given radiotherapy and divided with random digit table into the exercise group and the control group with 50 patients in each group.The incidence rate of radiation pneumonitis in both groups was compared.The prophylactic effect of abdominal breathing exercises on radiation pneumonitis was evaluated.Results The incidence of radiation pneumonitis in abdominal breathing exercise group was significantly reduced [34% (17/50) vs.56% (28/50),Z=2.397,P<0.05],the incidences of grade Ⅰ [22% (11/50) vs.30% (15/50)] and grade Ⅱ [12% (6/50) vs.18% (9/50)] radiation pneumonitis decreased,and no grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ radiation pneumonitis occurred.Conclusions The incidence of radiation pneumonitis in patients with chest malignant tumors treated with radiation therapy may be decreased by abdominal breathing exercises,which may be widely applied in patients treated with radiation therapy.

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. The neurons outocorrelation function(ACF) of the scattering light intersity was analyzed by the microscope quasi-elastic light scattering(MQLS) technique The frequency shift line width by ACF. The Γ can sympolize the cell menbrane flilidity. RESULTS Both Aβ25~35 and Apo E4 could significantly enhance hippocampal and cortical neurons rest [Ca2+]i, furthermore, the effect of 5 μmol*L-1 Aβ25~35 was higher than the effect of 1 μmol*L-1 Aβ25~35 (P<0.05), and they also amplified KCl-induced rise in [Ca2+]i in hippocampal and cortical neurons(P<0.05). The interaction of Aβ25~35 and Apo E4 could also significantly enhance hippocampal and cortical neurons rest [Ca2+]i andamplified KCl-induced rise in [Ca2+]i in hippocampal and cortical neurons(P<0.05), but they had no synergic or additive effect.The frequency shift line widith Γ of both hippocampal and cortical neurons were decreased by both Aβ25-35 and ApoE4.

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.

In this paper, a new imaging method to determine the position of blood effusions or edemas in the deep position of the brain by using electric current flowing through the brain is presented. Its principle is that the existence of non-normal matters in the brain cause a disturbance to boundary potentials, while a low frenqency current flows through the brain. In terms of the measurement for the change value of boundary potentials a reconstruction for the blood effusion or the edema in the deep position of the brain can be done.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of serum tumors M2 pyruvate kinase (TuM2-PK),carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA),CA199,CA724,CA125 and CA242 in colon cancer.Methods Serum levels of TuM2-PK,CEA,CA199,CA724,CA125 and CA242 in 231 patients with colon cancer,105 patients with colon benign lesion diseases and 166 normal controls were measured by the ELISA and electrochemiluminescence assays.The operation working characteristic curve (ROC) and the logistic regression-ROC were used to evaluate the diagnostic value of tumor markers for colon cancer individually and in combination.The models of logistic regression analysis and partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were established to diagnose patients with colon cancer based on the optimal panel of serum tumor markers.Resalts Concentrations of serum TuM2-PK,CEA,CA199,CA125 and CA724 in the colon cancer group are higher than those in the colon benign diseases group and the normal controls (P<0.05).The area under the operation working characteristic curve (AUC) of CA199 is the highest 0.79 [95% confidence interval (95%CI),0.75-0.83] at the cutoff value of 69.5 U/L with 64.1% of sensitivity and 89.7% of specificity.The AUC of combined serum tumor markers based on logistic regression analysis is higher than those in individuals,of which serum (CEA+ CA199+TuM2-PK) is the optimal [AUC=0.89,95% confidence interval(95%CI),0.86-0.92].The diagnostic accuracy of logistic analysis and PLS-DA model for colon cancer is 82.7% and 77.5%,and for colon cancer is 93.7% and 95.6%,respectively.Conclusion The combination of serum tumor markers CEA,CA199 and TuM2-PK is more suitable as a diagnostic model for the screening of colon cancer.
