1.Screening of Phage Display Peptide Libraries Using ComplexBiological Systems as Selector Targets
Progress in Biochemistry and Biophysics 2001;28(1):49-51
During recent years, some new methods for phage display panning have been developed by using complex biological systems instead of purified antigens, antibodies or receptors as selector targets. These complex biological systems include living cells, viruses, mouse tissues and tumors etc. The peptides identified by using tumors as selector molecules can selectively home to blood vessels of experimental tumors and may have potential applications in targeted anti-tumor treatment.

Objective To evaluate the payment effect of hospitalization expense under the urban employee basic medical insurance in Guangzhou.Methods Analyze the differences between the expenses paid by medical insurance with actual hospitalization expenses of the 22 settlement units from 1 5 tertiary hospitals,and the expense settlement data of the insured patients,based on the early,the mid-term,and the recent periods since the urban employee basic medical insurance was implemented since 2002.Results The ratio of good payment effect units reduced to 9.09%(the recent)from 42.86%(the earlier).The ratio of poor payment effect units was 42.86% in the early,to mid-term 18.18%,and sharply increased to 77.27%in the near term.The settlement units which exceeded its flat standard accounted for 52%,50%, and 91%respectively(in the early,the mid-term,and the recent).The medical insurance agency and the hospital shared the overrun costs by 52.88%and 47.12%respectively in 201 1.Conclusion The payment effect of the urban employee medical insurance was greatly influenced by the adjustment of medical insurance policy and the payment ability of the pooling fund.It should improve the payment effect of the medical insurance timely,so as to ensure the hospitals’operation normally.The hospitals should take the effective cost management measures so as to deal with the increasing cost control pressure.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Yitieling Paste (YTLP). METHODS: YTLP and aspirin (as a control drug) were introduced to treat the edematous ears of mice induced by xylene and swollen toes of mice induced by carrageenin, and to relieve the pain in mice induced by heat and acetic acid. The swelling degree, pain threshold and body distortions were measured. RESULTS: The repression rates of the ear edema in groups of YTLP of high and low dosages and the aspirin group were 67.92%, 52.52% and 58.28%, respectively. The repression rate of the toe swelling in YTLP high dosage group was higher than that of the aspirin group, which was higher than that of the YTLP low dosage group. The results of analgesic effect of the three YTLP-treated groups showed that with the increase of dosage, the pain thresholds were higher and higher, and the body distortions were lower and lower. The pain thresholds of high and medium dosage YTLP groups were near to the aspirin group. CONCLUSION: YTLP possesses a strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

Objective To understand the role of increasing peripheral blood platelet count in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods This analysis included 80 inpatients with active pulmonary tuberculosis evidenced by positive sputum smear,43 patients in recovery and 89 healthy controls during the period from January to June in 2012.Peripheral white blood cell,platelet count,and neutrophil percentage were assayed.Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)and serum C-reactive protein (CRP)were measured and compared.The data were analyzed by using SPSS 13.0 software.Results ESR and CRP values were significantly higher in the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis than in the patients in recovery (P=0.006 5 and P=0.007 3,respectively).The peripheral blood platelet count exceeded normal range in 41.94% of the patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis,which was significantly higher than that in the patients in recovery (P=0.001 4)and controls (P=0.000 0).Platelet count was positively correlated with CPR (r=0.515,P<0.000 1)and ESR (r=0.398,P<0.001)value.However,peripheral white cell count and neutrophil count were not different from the corresponding values of controls.Conclusions Increasing peripheral platelet count may play a role in assessment of tuberculosis disease activity and the effect of anti-tuberculosis treatment.

Objective:To produce hybridoma cell lines of monoclonal antibodies against recombinant human interleukin 18.Methods:Hybridoma techniques were used to fuse BALB/C mice myeloma cell line SP2/0 with B lymphocytes of spleen of BALB/C mice which were immunostimulated with interleukin 18 antigen through polyethyleneglycol (PEG).Single cell lines which stably produce antibodies against interleukin 18 were picked out and identified by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results:Two hybridoma cell lines were obtained and named 1C7 and 1F5,which produce monoclonal antibodies specificity against interleukin 18.They respectively own 88 and 92 chromosomes, the purities of IgG in ascites are all over 95% through affinity chromatography, the titer degrees of ascies are 1?10 -4 and 1?10 -5 respectively.Two antibodies are against two different antigen binding epitopes on the surface of interleukin 18.It was evaluated by Western blot that the two antibodies can bind to interleukin 18 specifically and are made of only single protein strap.Conclusion:Have prepared two hybridoma cell lines which stably secrete high titer and high specific monoclonal antibodies against interleukin 18,which provide the foundation for further studying the structure and the biological function of interleukin 18.

Objective To observe the operative effect of selective decompressive laminectomy and long segment pedical screw internal fixation for degenerative scohosis beyond 3 segments. Methods During January 2003 to July 2009, 52 cases with degenerative scoliosis beyond 3 segments were treated by posterior selective decompressive laminectomy, intervertebral implanted bone fusion and long segment pedical screw internal fixation, vetebral plate fusion seperately, and all the cases were followed up. Results All the patients were followed up for 12-60 months after operation. The status of back leg pain relief were evaluated through Oswestry score system. The Oswestry score of 1 week,3 months and 12 months after operation were (25.91 ± 9.05), (26.75 ± 8.37), (26.90 ± 8.45) scores respectively and there was statistical significance compared to the preoperative [(46.35± 8.12) scorns] (P <0.05). The average coronal Cobb angle was corrected from 15.23°± 3.35° to 10.02°± 3.26° 1 week after operation (P < 0.05). All the internal implant didn't appear loosing or fracture confirmed by X-ray at 3,6,12 months after operation. The intervertebral implanted bone fusion and vetebral plate fusion all got well in 18-24 months after operation. Conclusion Selective decompressive laminectomy and long segment pedical screw internal fixation for the degenerative scoliosis can get better operative effect.
