Objective To study effect of excessive iodine intake on sodium-iodide symporter(NIS)mRNA and protein expression of breast in lactating rats.Methods60 Wistar rats,having been weaned for one month,were randomly divided into three groups according to their body weights,I.e,①normal iodine(NI,30 rats);②ten fold high iodine(10 HI,15 rats);③one hundred fold high iodine(100 HI,15 rats).Eating food containing iodine of 300μg/L and drinking water of iodine at 5,1845,20 295μg/L,respectively.After fed for 3 months,the rats mated and had offspring,and urine and milk iodine of lactating rats were determined by As-Ce-catalytic spectrophotometric method.Their marmnary glands were sampled at lactation day 10.Then NIS mRNA expression by RT-PCR was determined and NIS protein by immunohistochemistry(SABC)was observed.Results The urine iodine of 10 HI group(3597.5μg/L)and 100HI group(25 404.3μg/L)increased obviously compared with that of NI group(344.7μg/L).The milk iodine of 10HI group(27.1×103μg/L)and 100HI group(191.0×1μg/L)was higher than that of NI group(6.0×103μg/L),but the increased fold of milk iodine was not paralleled with that of urine iodine.Difference of NIS mRNA expression was significant(F=24.19,P＜0.01)among the groups,and the NIS mRNA expression in 10HI(1.250±0.034)and 100HI(1.272±0.039)group were less than that in NI (1.532±0.044)group(P＜0.01).The breast NIS mRNA expression in lactating rats(1.532±0.044)was significantly higher than that in unlactating rats(0.879±0.018,P＜0.01).With the increasing iodine uptake,NIS protein expression decreased.Conclusions The NIS mRNA and protein in rat breasts is down-regulated by excessive iodine intake.So increasing extent of milk iodine concentration is inhibited,which is important to prevent off-spring from getting excessive iodine intake from parental generation.

Objective To compare and analyze the phylogenetic tree and sequence variant characteristics of Klebsiella species between 16S rDNA and rpoB. Methods Eighteen isolates identified as genus Klebsiella (with 15 of K. Pneumoniae and 3 of K. Oxytoca) by automated biochemical tests were selected. DNA were extracted, 16S rDNA and rpoB genes were amplified and sequenced with Klebsiella 16S rDNA and rpoB primers. Together with already published 8 species of Klebsiella and 9 species of Enterobacteriaceae 16S rDNA and rpoB sequences from GenBank, totally 35 sequences of 16S rDNA and rpoB respectively, phylogenetic trees were constructed with MEGA 4.0 to the analysis of groups. DNAStar/MegAlign was used for comparison of variable regions of 16S rDNA and rpoB, with analysis of degree of divergent at the same time. Results As for all 35 sequences, both 16S rDNA and rpoB phylogenetic trees divided Klebsiella species into three groups, 15 of K. Pneumoniae in this study and 6 of K. Pneumoniae from GenBank (except for K. Oxytoca and K. Mobilis) cluster to group Ⅰ, K. Oxytoca and K. Mobilis were cluster to group Ⅱ and Ⅲ, respectively. In rpoB phylogenetic tree, no matter group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ, or subgroup within group Ⅰ, the bootstrap values in each node of rpoB phylogenetic tree is obviously higher than that of 16S rDNA. Moreover, as for cluster to K. Oxytoca, rpoB is better than 16S rDNA. Analysis nucleic acid sequences of Klebsiella species, with 41 variable regions and 4 most significant regions were found within the Klebsiella 16S rDNA, while rpoB with 63 variable regions, and 1 most significant region. The similarity of 16S rDNA and rpoB within Klebsiella were 95.9%-100% and 90.2%-100% respectively. Further analysis divergent degree of 16S rDNA and rpoB within Klebsiella, the divergent value of rpoB (0-10.6) is higher than that of the 16S rDNA(0-4.0). Conclusion As for molecular classification and identification within KlebsieUa species, rpoB has more advantages than 16S rDNA.

In the past few decades, our understanding of platelets has made great progress. Platelets play an unexpected central role in cancer and greatly affect the behavior of cancer cells. At the same time, the physiology and phenotype of platelets are also affected by cancer cells. Therefore, platelet-based tumor targeted therapy strategies have attracted the attention of researchers, but the limitations of their application require more attention. In this paper, the strategies of platelet-based tumor targeted therapy are summarized, and the strategies of platelet mimicking nanocarrier delivery, platelet hitch riding, platelet membrane coating biomimetic and engineered platelet targeting are mainly introduced. The easy activation, hard storage and unknown functional and phenotypic changes of platelets were discussed. At the same time, the strategy of platelet-based targeted tumor therapy is reviewed from theoretical basis and practical application. The development potential of platelets in the field of tumor diagnosis and treatment is discussed, which will provide some theoretical reference for the study of platelet-related tumor diagnosis and targeted therapy.

Objective To construct and apply a cell line screening Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)-specific tetramers of CD4+α/β T cell receptor(TCR). Methods The β chains of HLA class Ⅱ (DR) were amplified from tuberculosis patients by PCR. The pMT-HLA-DRB expression vectors that carries the HLA-DR 13 chain and pMT-HLA-DRA-P expression vectors which carries the genes of HLA-DR α chain loaded with Mtb antigen were transfected into S2 cells with the method of calcium phosphate transfection. The expressed Mtb peptide/HLA-DR complexes were primarily identified by the method of cell immunohistochemistry. The cell lines expressing Mtb peptide/HLA-DR complexes were used to screen tetramers of CD4+ TCR by flow cytometry. Results S2 cell lines expressing Mtb peptide/HLA-DR complexes on the cell surface were obtained, two kinds of Mtb specific tetramers of CD4+α/β TCR were screened. Conclusion S2 cell lines expressing Mtb peptide/HLA-DR complexes on the cell surface provide the solid basis of the further research on the TCR tetramers and are helpful for exploring new diagnostic study methods about tuberculosis and developing new vaccines.

OBJECTIVETo measure the stability of Evans procedure and Chrisman-Snook technique in the treatment of II degree lateral collateral ligament of ankle joint, and provide basis for treatment and prognosis.

METHODSFrom July 2008 to June 2009,18 frozen corpes were collected, including 10 males and 8 females, with an average age of fresh 39.3 +/- 11.2 years. The frozen corpes were randomly divided into three group, including normal controls(group A), Evans procedure (group B) and Chrisman-Snook technique ( group C), 6 specimens in each group. Anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament were cut off to cause II degree lateral collateral ligament in group B and C. Evans procedure or Chrisman-Snook technique were applied to restore lateral collateral ligament, and measure biomechnics. The displacement of tibiotalar joint and subtalar joint were observed.

Objective To investigate the immediate effects of lower limb with open chain weight-adding on joint position sense and gait symmetry in stroke patients. Methods From January, 2016 to January, 2017, 39 stroke patients were included. Their joint position sense and gait symmetry were compared before and after weight-adding. The joint position senses of active reproduction of active positioning (ARAP) and passive reproduction of passive positioning (PRPP) were assessed during lower limb straight leg raise. The gait symmetry was also as-sessed and three indexes were recorded including the symmetry of foot rotation angle, step length and percentage of single leg support phase. Results After weight-adding, the position sense of PRPP did not improve (t=0.832, P=0.832), nor of the symmetry of foot rotation an-gle (t=-0.704, P=0.483) and percentage of single leg support phase (t=0.381, P=0.702);the position sense of ARAP improved (t=3.158, P=0.011), as well as the symmetry of step length (t=2.022, P=0.041). Conclusion The lower limb with open chain weight-adding could im-prove the active joint position sense and symmetry of step length.
