Objective: To screen high-affinity short peptides of the transforming growth factor beta typeⅡ(TGF-? Ⅱ) receptor from the phage display 12-mer peptide library.Methods: The recombinant solube human TGF-? Ⅱ receptor was used as the target to screen its affinity short peptides from the phage display 12-mer peptide library.The positive phage clones were obtained by 3 rounds of biopanning,followed by single stranded DNA extraction and sequence analysis.Results: Four nucleotide sequences were obtained from 10 positive phage clones with high-affinity TGF-? Ⅱ receptor.Neither conservative nor homologous sequence was found by sequence analysis compared with the transforming growth factor beta 1.Conclusion: Phage short peptides have been screened from the phage display library,which helps pave the ground for further researches on affinity short peptides and their role in inhibiting hepatic fibrosis.

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors and control strategies of nosocomial infection in clinical immunology laboratory.METHODS The positive detection rates of HBV marker and antibodies to HAV,HCV,HEV,HIV,TP,and TB in total of 91 877 samples in clinical immunology laboratory during Jul 2004 and Jul 2005 were retrospectively surveyed and statistically analyzed.RESULTS The number of positive specimens of HBV marker and antibodies to HAV,HCV,HEV,HIV,TP,and TB were respectively 8 376,7,26,24,107,3,522,and 52 and the positive detection rates of these items were respectively 16.68%,0.43%,0.20%,2.22%,6.49%,0.03%,4.75%,and 4.61%.CONCLUSIONS It is very important to understand the infection sources and risk factors in clinical immunology laboratory in order to strengthen management of hospital infection and protection of occupational exposure.

Objective To observe the effect of Huangqi (Radix Astragali seu Hedysari) Injectio on the abnormal expression of aquaporin-1 (AQP-1) caused by glucose lactate peritoneal dialysis solution. Methods Different glucose concentration lactate peritoneal dialysis solutions and Huangqi Injectio given to the rats intraperitoneally. Eight weeks later, the ultrafiltration of peritoneal dialysis, peritoneum clearance, peritoneal structure, AQP-1 and its gene expression were observed. Results Compared with the control group, in the glucose and Huangqi groups, the ultrafiltration of peritoneal dialysis was remarkably decreased (P

Objective: To develop a new quantitative determination method for the biological activity of recombinant human ciliary neurotrophic factor. Methods: Dorsal root ganglions were derived from the chick embryo and dispersed into single neuron cell,The rhCNTF was added to neuron cells and incubated for 64 hours,The activity of acid phosphatase in neuron cells was determined and the biological activity of rhCNTF was analyzed quantificationally. Result: rhCNTF could promote original era dorsal root neuron cells of chick embryo surviving,the livability of neuron cells was positively related to the amount of rhCNTF added to the culture. Conclusion: A quantitative determination method for the biological activity of rhCNTF was developed by testing the activity of acid phosphatase in neuron cells. Compared with the typical ways,this method was quantificational easily,repeatable better and with much fewer disturbance factors.

Here we reviewed the applications of laser scanning confocal microscope in biomedical field. The reformation and improvement based on this technique were also summarized. After analyzing the defects, we highlighted its potential applications in the future.

Objective:To prepare PLGA nanoparticles modified with folic acid conjugated chitosan oligosaccharide containing pa-clitaxel (F-CS-PLGA-NPs) and study the inhibitory effect on SKOV-3. Methods:F-CS-PLGA-NPs were prepared by an interface dep-osition method, 30% ethanol was used as the release medium for the in vitro release profiles of nanoparticles, and MTT was adopted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of paclitaxel with different formulations and concentrations on SKOV-3. Results:The particle size and zeta potential of F-CS-PLGA-NPs was (321 ± 0. 76) nm and (22. 6 ± 0. 26) mV, respectively, the drug loading was (5. 1 ± 0. 25)%, and the encapsulation efficiency was (41. 96 ± 1. 96)%. F-CS-PLGA-NPs had a similar in vitro release profiles with the ordinary nanoparti-cles ( PLGA-NPs) . About 35% of paclitaxel was released from the nanoparticles in the initial 24 h, and then a near zero order release at a relative slow rate was shown, and the cumulative release rate in 144 h was about 75%. The results of cell experiments suggested that at the same paclitaxel concentration, the inhibition effect of F-CS-PLGA-NPs group was stronger than that of the PLGA-NPs group and the solution group. The inhibition effect of F-CS-PLGA-NPs could be reduced by free folic acid. Conclusion:PLGA nanoparticles modified with folic acid conjugated chitosan oligosaccharide can increase the targeting efficiency in SKOVS-3 tumor cells.

Objective To explore the therapeutic value and effects of relaxing retinotomy for perforating traction retinal detachment(PTRD). Method A retrospective survey was done in 21 patinets (21 eyes) with PTRD who underwent vitrectomy combined with relaxing retinotomy in our hospital from 1998 to 2001. Results The retinae were completely reattached in all 21 cases. The visual acuity of 12 patients (57%) was counting finger, and the best visual acuity was 0.05. Among the 18 patients who were followed up for 6 to 25 months, 14(77.8%) remained retinal reattachment. Conclusions Relaxing retinotomy is effective for anatomic reattachment of PTRD, especially to the patients with retinal incarceration and severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

Stand-by training is an important step for a medical contingent to realize medical support in peacekeeping operations.In line with Draft MOU and General Guidelines for Peacekeeping OPNS,we need to shape a feasible standby training blueprint,and make the training plan for the medical contingent as a whole with consideration of tasks on our contingent and the actual situation of our army.

ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility of psychiatric assessment scale of cognitive and volition capacity(PASCVC) in violent crimes.MethodsThe PASCVC,criminal responsibility rating scale for violence(CRRSV) and criminal responsibility rating scale(CRRS)were used respectively in 244 forensic psychiatric cases.All cases were classified by the judicial surveyor into three grades including complete lost,partial lost and normal,the results were compared with expert's opinions.Results①PASCVC was composed of two subscales:cognitive capacity and volition capacity.There were significant differences in rating average score of three groups (complete lost,partial lost and normal) of total scale,cognitive capacity and volition capacity subscales were 9.96±7.53,69.15±10.290,101.16±6.034;20.29±4.971,37.13±5.388,2.55±2.612;18.32±2.595,30.07±4.595,48.34±4.147 respectively and there were significant differences between them.②27 items had good correlation with the scale(r=0.157~0.915).③According to the reference demarcation points of scale,12 criteria were carried out by using stepwise discriminant analysis.The accuracy of retrospective cumulative square was 97.1%.④Total scale and subscales consistency of three demarcation point grading assessment results were consistent with expert's opinions,the Kappa values were 0.925,0.848 and 0.930 respectively (P<0.01);PASCVC consistency with CRRSV and CRRS,the correlation coefficients were 0.952 and 0.961 respectively (P<0.01),the Kappa values were 0.830 and 0.881 respectively (P<0.01).Conclusion The PASCVC is feasible to be used in violent crimes.
