Objective To study the relationship between Xsp Ⅰ restriction fregment length polymorphism (RFLP) in exon 4 of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene and hypercholesterolemia. Methods PCR-RFLP method was applied to determine the polymorphism of LDLR gene in 446 cases of hypercholesterolemia, 284 of borderline hypercholesterolemia and 187 normal control subjects. Results Three genotypes, X+X+, X+X- and X-X-, were found in the population. (1) The frequencies of the X+X+ genotype and X+ allele in the group with hypercholesterolemia were higher than those of the other 2 groups (P<0.05). (2) From X-X- to X+X+ genotype, cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol increased gradually, while high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol decreased (all P < 0.05). (3) With logistic regression analysis, LDLR genotype was associated with hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion Polymorphism in Xsp I restriction site at the exon 4 of LDLR (X+ X+ genotype and X+ allele) may be a risk factor of hypercholesterolemia in Chinese population.

Baculovirus has many advantages as vectors for gene transfer. We demonstrated that recombinant baculovirus vectors expressing p35 (Ac-CMV-p35) and eGFP (Ac-CMV-GFP) could be transduced into human kidney 293 cells efficiently. The level of transgene expression was viral dose dependent and high-level expression of the target gene could be achieved under the heterogonous promoter. MTT assay suggested that both Ac-CMV-p35 and Ac-CMV-GFP did not have cytotoxic effect on human embryo kidney 293 cells. Cell growth curve showed the Ac-CMV-p35 and Ac- CMV-GFP transduced and non-transduced cells had similar proliferation rate, so baculovirus-mediated p35expression had no adverse effect on cell proliferation. In addition, baculovirus-mediated p35 gene expression protected human embryo kidney 293 cells against apoptosis induced by various apoptosis inducers such as Actinomycin D, UV or serum-free media. These results suggested that the baculovirus vector mediated p35 gene expression was functional and it could be widely used in molecular research and even gene therapy.

Objective:To evaluate effect of telephone follow-up combined with written instruction on compliance and Helicobacterpylori (H.pylori) eradication in patients with H.pylori infection.Methods:A total of 160 H.pylori positive patients were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group (n=80 in each group).Ml the patients got the guide instruction named the guidance of clinical medication for H.pylori infection patients before the treatment.The patients in the experimental group were added individualized follow-up with telephone.The compliance,eradication ofH.pylori,adverse events,and satisfaction were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The eradication rate of H.pylori in the perprotocol analysis for the experimental group and control group were 64.4％ (47/73) and 56.5％(35/62),respectively (P=0.380),while in the intention-to-treat analysis,the rates were 58.8％ (47/80) and 43.8％ (35/80,P=0.082),respectively.The compliance rate in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (91.3％ vs 77.5％,P＜0.05).There was significant difference in patients' satisfaction in good ones (75.3％ vs 51.6％) and poor ones (5.5％ vs 21.0％) between the 2 groups (P＜0.05).There were 11 patients in the experimental group and 36 patients in the control group,who appeared adverse reactions such as nausea,bad breath,abdominal distention,poor appetite,and defecation habit change during the process of eradicating H.pylori,but the occurrence rate in the experimental group was obviously lower than that in the control group (15.1％ vs 58.1％,P＜0.05).Conclusion:The telephone follow-up cannot increase the H.pylori eradication rate,but it can improve compliance and satisfaction for the patients and relieve adverse effects.

To study the compatible mechanisms and compatible proportion of Shaoyao Gancao decoction, the intestinal absorption of main ingredients in Shaoyao Gancao decoction SG11 (Baishao-Zhigancao 1: 1) , SG31 (Baishao-Zhigancao 3: 1), Baishao water decoction S and Zhigancao (G) were investigated and compared using in vitro everted intestinal sac model and in situ single pass intestinal perfusion (SPIP) model. The concentration of paeoniflorin (PF), liquiritin (LQ) and mono-ammonium glycyrrhizinate (GL) in test samples and samples of intestinal sac and intestinal perfusion was determined by HPLC. The intestinal absorptive amount and absorption parameters were calculated. Results showed that in the everted intestinal sac model, three ingredients could be absorbed by duodenum, jejunum and ileum, and the absorption in the jejunum was best for all 3 ingredients. The absorption rate of three ingredients in SG11 was significantly higher than that in single decoction (P < 0.05), but had no significant difference compared with SG31. In SPIP model, the absorption rate constant K(a), the apparent absorption coefficient P(app) and the absorption rate of three ingredients in SG11 were significantly higher than those in single decoction. Parameters of PF and GL in SG11 were significantly higher than those in SG31, but had no differences of LQ. It proved that the compatibility of Baishao and Zhigancao could improve the intestinal absorption of PF, LQ and GL. The absorption of each ingredient in SG11 was better than that in SG31.

OBJECTIVETo investigate effects of the variation of immune function in high humidity environment in different time, and lay a foundation for further study of the related mechanism.

METHODThirty SD rats were divided into 3 groups (n = 10): 20 day group, 40 day group in 90% relative humidity chamber and control group in normal relative humidity. Peripheral blood and spleens were collected to detect the levels of T lymphocyte subsets by Flow Cytometery.

RESULTSIn peripheral blood of the 20 day group rats, the CD3+ %, CD4+ %, CD8+ % and CD4+/CD8+ were 52.91 +/- 6.27, 37.80 +/- 4.11, 14.85 +/- 3.73 and 2.72 +/- 0.82 separately. Expect CD3+ %, they all had significant differences (P < 0.05). In addition, the data of the 40 day group rats showed no diversity in statistics. In spleen, CD8+ % of the 20 day group rats was 6.23 +/- 2.87 with significant differences (P < 0.05) and IgG, IgA and IgM did not change a lot in blood serum of the high humidity groups except C3 of the 20 days group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIn high humidity environment, the immune function of the rats increased in the initial stage. As time went on, the immune function gradually went to normal level through the self adjustment.

Objective To explore the effects of overexpression of hypoxia inducible factor 1? (HIF 1?) mRNA on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and novoendotheliasis in venous autografts Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups with 28 rats in each group A rat experimental model of autogenous vein graft was established by transplanting the right external jugular vein into between the interrupted right common carotid artery The transplanted vein in the experimental group was first immersed into a solution containing recombinant adeno associated virus (rAAV) HIF 1? for 45 minutes Vein grafts and blood simples were taken at 7 or 14 days after transplantation RT PCR, ELISA, immunohistochemistry were used to detected HIF 1? mRNA and VEGF expression Results HIF 1? mRNA and VEGF protein remarkably increased in experimental group, and serum level of E selectin significantly decraesed at day 14 The novoendotheliasis and myo endothelium junction in vein grafts were remodeled at day 14 in the experimental group Conclusion Re establishment of the structure and function of the autograft vein graft endothelium was accelerated by overexpressed HIF 1? mRNA

Objective To explore the effects of surface modification of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] scaffold with typeⅠcollagen on the adhesion,proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).Methods After PLGA-[ASP-PEG] materials were modified with typeⅠcollagen chemically,the collagen was coated onto the materials physically.The BMSCs obtained from rabbits were cultured on the modified PLGA-[ ASP-PEG] and on the unmodified PLGA-[ ASP-PEG] as control.The adhesion and proliferation behavior of the cells was analyzed and the expressions of osteogenie marker alkaline phosphatase,osteocalcin,osteopontin,typeⅠcollagen and core binding factor al were also detected.Results X-ray photoelectron spectrometry(XPS) confirmed that TypeⅠcollagen was grafted onto the surface of PLGA-[ASP-PEG] successfully and the collagen content on the materials modified chemically and physically was significantly increased.The abilities of adhesion and proliferation and the expressions of osteogenie makers of the BMSCs were significantly greater than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Since Type collagen I can improve the biocompatibility of PLGA- [ASP-PEG] scaffold materials,it can be used as a new way to optimize scaffolds in tissue engineering.
