SHIV-CN97001 played an important role in assessing the immune effect and strategy of the AIDS vaccine which included genes of the predominant prevalent HIV-1 strain in China. In this study, SHIV-CN97001 was in vivo passaged serially to construct pathogenic SHIV-CN97001/rhesus macaques model. To identify variation in the gp120 region of SHIV-CN97001 during passage, the fragments of gp120 gene were amplified by RT-PCR from the plasma of SHIV-CN97001 infected animals at the peak viral load time point and the gene distances (divergence, diversity) were calculated using DISTANCE. The analysis revealed that the genetic distances of SHIV-CN97001 in the third passage animals were the highest during in vivo passage. It had a relationship between viral divergence from the founder strain and viral replication ability. The nucleic acid sequence of the V3 region was highly conservative. All of the SHIV-CN97001 strains had V3 loop central motif (GPGQ) and were predicted to be using CCR5 co-receptor on the basis of the critical amino acids within V3 loop. These results show that there was no significant increase in the genetic distance during serial passage, and SHIV-CN97001 gp120 gene evolved toward ancestral states upon transmission to a new host. This could partly explain why there was no pathogenic viral strain obtained during in vivo passage.

A method for qualitative analysis of constituents in Panax notoginseng by UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometry was established. Based on the high-resolution mass information, MS/MS fragmentation behaviors and chemical components from literatures, 43 compounds were identified or tentatively characterized. New type saponin aglycone, combined with malonyl-substituted and acetyl-substituted saponins were discovered and plausibly identified in this study. This work could be helpful for the quality control and further phytochemical studies of Panax notoginseng, and provided a good example for the analysis of chemical constituents in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the multi-drug resistance of Klebsiella strains and its mechanism.Methods Twenty strains of Klebsiella were isolated from the Affiliated Hospital of Medical College,Ningbo University from October 2009 to March 2011,in which 18 isolates were Klebsiella pneumonia and 2 were Klebsiella planticola. Drug sensitivity was determined by K-B tests. Drug resistant genes gyrA,parC (chromosome mediated) and aac( 6′)-I b-Cr,qnrA,qnrB,qnrS,qepA (plasmid mediated) were amplified by PCR and verified by direct automated fluorogenic sequencing. Results Resistance to β-1actams,aminoglycosides and quinolones was observed in 20 strains,and resistant rates were all above 80％.Klebsiella planticola strains were sensitive to imipenem and meropenem.Mutations of gyrA and parC genes existed in 18 strains (90％),and the positive rates of aac (6') -I b-C r,qnrB and qnrS were 60％ (12/20),20％ (4/20) and 20％ (4/20),respectively.Conclusion The mutations ofgyrA and parC genes may be the main cause of the resistance to quinolones in these strains.

Objective To investigate the preventive effect of nano-powder of Wugong-sanqi (NW),the rhizome of Anemone flaccid,on postoperative intestinal adhesion in rats.Methods Fifty SD rats were subjected to operation with Ellis' method for establishing intestinal adhesion models,then randomly divided into 5 groups (n=10),namely model,positive (Dexamethasone,i.m.10 mg/kg),NW high,medium and low dose group (p.o.450,225 and 112 mg/kg,respectively).Another ten normal rats were selected as normal control group.After administration 3 days pre-operation and 7 days post-operation,all of rats were killed,the intestinal adhesion was graded and the tissues were observed by optical microscope.Results NW evidently reduced the severity of postoperative adhesion (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),compared with model group.The histopathologic changes such as proliferation of fibroblast cells and capillary,interstitial granulomas and inflammatory cells infiltration in intestinal tissues were also improved significantly in NW groups.Conclusion NW could inhibit the formation of postoperative intestinal adhesion effectively.

Objective To compare the mRNA level of macrophage inflammatory protein-3α(MIP-3α) in 3 different mucosal epithelial cell lines. Methods RNA standards were prepared by in vitro transcription. One-step real-time RT-PCR was established and optimized using TaqMan EZ RT-PCR Core Reagents with TaqMan probes and primers specific to human MIP-3α mRNA sequence. The specificity of one-step real-time RT-PCR method was confirmed by sequencing the PCR products. The sensitivity and reproducibility of the method was examined by repeating the test 8 times with the same sample. Results The one-step real-time RT-PCR with a wide detection range is sensitive, reproducible. It was found that MIP-3α mRNA level in Caco-2 and T-84 cells was much higher than that in the HeLa cells. Conclusion High level of MIP-3α mRNA could be found in mucosal epithelial cells and difference in transcription level of MIP-3α may exist in epithelial cells from different mucosa.

Objective To investigate the changing trend and correlation of platelet count and spleen diameter in patients with digestive system malignancy receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 72 patients with digestive system cancer, recorded and analyzed platelet count and spleen diameter during and after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy. Results The incidence of thrombocytopenia in all patients was 65.3%. The median time of thrombocytopenia after the beginning of chemotherapy was 2.53±0.49 months, and the median cumulative dose of oxaliplatin was 520±35.81 mg/m²; the median time of lowest platelet count after the beginning of chemotherapy was 4.03±0.49 months, and the median cumulative dose of oxaliplatin was 780±36.32 mg/m². Splenomegaly occurred in 52(72.2%) patients during the follow-up. The median increase rate was (18.82±0.01)%. The median time of splenomegaly after the beginning of chemotherapy was 2.15±0.19 months, the median time for the largest spleen diameter was 4.68±2.89 months; after the end of chemotherapy, the median time for spleen contraction was 3.28±0.44 months, and the median time for spleen recovery was 8.80±1.05 months. Conclusion Oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy can cause thrombocytopenia and splenomegaly, and it is difficult to recover to baseline for a long time after the end of chemotherapy. The increase of spleen diameter was positively correlated with splenomegaly and thrombocytosis.

Objective To explore the expression changes of SIRT1 and related inflammatory regula-tors in peripheral blood of patients with major depressive disorder and analyze the correlation between SIRT1, depression and inflammatory regulators. Methods Forty patients with major depressive disorder and forty healthy controls were selected. Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD-17) was used to assess the degree of de- pression in patients with depressive disorder. Quantitative Real-time PCR( RT-PCR) was used to detect the relative expression levels of SIRT1,Elf-1,NF-κB,IL-1β,GM-CSF mRNA,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) was used to detect the expression levels of SIRT1,Elf-1,NF-κB,IL-1β,GM-CSF proteins. The correlation between the severity of depression disorder and SIRT1 and the correlation between SIRT1 and Elf-1 and NF-κB were analyzed. Results (1)Compared with the control group,SIRT1 mRNA expression significantly decreased in the case group (P<0. 01),while Elf-1,NF-κB,IL-1β,GM-CSF mRNA expression significantly increased in the case group (P<0. 01). ( 2) The expression of plasma SIRT1 protein((8. 23± 1. 78)ng/ml) in the case group was lower than that in the control group (P<0. 01). The expressions of plas-ma Elf-1 protein((1 921. 67±271. 07)pg/ml),NF-κB protein((2 057. 29±260. 44)pg/ml),IL-1β protein ((186. 60±31. 00) pg/ml) and GM-CSF protein((183. 69±28. 87) pg/ml) were higher than those in the control group((1 512. 92±284. 54)pg/ml,(1537. 18±313. 82) pg/ml,(144. 79±31. 48) pg/ml,(162. 82± 27. 90) pg/ml,respectively,all P<0. 01). (3) SIRT1 mRNA expression level was negatively correlated with the severity of major depressive disorder (r=-0. 51, P<0. 01) and was negatively correlated with the mRNA expression levels of Elf-1 and NF-κB (r=-0. 66,P<0. 01,r=-0. 64,P<0. 01). Conclusion The expres-sion level of SIRT1 in peripheral blood of patients with major depressive disorder is correlated with the sever-ity of depression. This may be related to the decrease of SIRT1 expression in peripheral blood leukocytes of patients with major depressive disorder,which activates the pathway of NF-κB and Elf-1 and increase expres-sion of GM-CSF and IL-1β.
