Objective To construct and identify of a plasmid mediated high efficiency of RNA interference(RNAi) against Nogo-66 receptor(NgR).Methods After cloning of NgR by RT-PCR,the fragments were inserted into pcDNA3.1/CT-GFP-TOPO to produce plasmid expressing NgR-GFP fusion protein.Four pairs of oligonucleotide were designed according to NgR sequence and annealed.The resulting fragments were ligated into short hairpin RNA(shRNA) expressing plasmid.The plasmids expressing NgR-GFP fusion protein and shRNA were co-transfected into AAV-293 cells.RNAi efficiency against NgR was observed under fluorescent microscope and calculated by Western blotting.Results The interference efficiency of one sequence was above 90%.Conclusion A plasmid mediated high RNAi efficiency against NgR is constructed successfully.

AIM: This study was designed to explore the differentially expressed genes between hypobaric hypoxic delayed preconditioning (HHDP) and normal mouse hippocampus. METHODS: HHDP was produced by treating the animals at a 7 000 m high altitude for 2.5 h/d for 3 d. At 36 h after last time decompression, total RNA was isolated from hippocampus. cDNA was synthesized and amplified by SMART PCR. cDNA libraries of differentially expressed gene between HHDP and control hippocampus were constructed. 452 clones from forward (subtracted control from preconditioning) cDNA library and 74 clones from backward (subtracted preconditioning from control) one were screened by reverse Northern hybridization. RESULTS: Screening with subtracted probes, hybridization signal of 85 gene fractions decreased and that of 217 gene fractions increased by more than 2 times in HHDP hippocampus compared with control. Screening with unsubtracted probe, hybridization signal of 44 gene fractions decreased and that of 135 gene fractions increased by more than 2 times in HHDP hippocampus compared with control. Some of the clones had been sequenced. Analysis and comparison with the data of GenBank were performed. The results showed that mouse cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1, NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1 and 6, deleted in split-hand/split-foot 1 region (DSS1) and cDNA corresponding to clone IMAGE: 5251089 of mice cDNA library were increased in hippocampus of HHDP mice. cDNA corresponding to clone IMAGE: 3593193, mus musculus adult male olfactory brain cDNA and mus musculus bladder RCB-0544 MBT-2 cDAN were decreased in hippocampus of HHDP mice. CONCLUSION: Many genes expresses differentially in hippocampus of mice during HHDP. This may be one of the molecular mechanisms of HHDP.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in mammalian target of rapamyein (mTOR) with aging in rat kidneys.MethodsMale Wistar rats at the ages of 3, 12, 24 months were used for this study. Therenaltissuesandmesangialcellswereprocessedfor senescenceassociated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining. The expression and location of roTOR in kidneys and mesangial cells were studied by immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry, respectively. The mRNA and protein levels of the roTOR and p-roTOR were detected by Western blot assay and RT-PCR,respectively.ResultsThe expression of neutral β-galactosidase activity was increased in kidneys and mesangial cells with advancing age. Percentages of SA-β-gal staining positive ceils were (11.9±3.6)% versus ( 39.0±4.0)% versus ( 86.9±7.4) % in young, middle and aging glomerular mesangial cells (P<0.05). The mTOR staining appeared in the mesangial matrix and interstitium in kidneys, while the mTOR protein showed localization in cytoplasm and nucleus in mesangial cells. The staining intensity of mTOR in kidneys and mesangial cells in aged rats was markedly increased as compared to that in young and middle aged rats (P<0.05). The mRNA level of roTOR was significantly increased in kidneys and mesangial cells of agedrats versus young and middle aged rats,meanwhile, the roTOR and p-mTOR protein expressions were dramatically increased with advancing age (P<0.05 ).ConclusionsmTOR expression is increased with aging, which may play an important role in the aging process of kidneys.

Proceeding from the requirements of teaching target for postgraduate students,the course of progress in pathophysiology was constructed and administrated.The course objective was defined which combined teaching knowledge with fostering students' ability together,especially the ability to think new ideas and to do scientific research.Aiming at this teaching target,the teaching contents which combined with the direction of scientific research of the department was growing together with scientific development,especially in new knowledge and new technique.Multiple teaching means and several mode of examine were adopted during the process of teaching practice.

To obtain a primary overview of gene diversity and expression pattern in Lycoris longituba, 4,992 ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tags) from L. longituba bud were sequenced and 4,687 cleaned ESTs were used for gene expression analysis. Clustered by the PHRAP program, 967 contigs and 1,343 singlets were obtained. Blast search showed that 179 contigs and 227 singlets (totally 1,066 ESTs) had homologues in GenBank and 3,621 ESTs were novel.

Objective:To explore the selection of surgical methods for different sites of symptomatic Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) and the clinical efficacies of these patients.Methods:Forty-seven patients with symptomatic RCC, admitted to our hospital from January 2016 to December 2019, were chosen in our study; 21 patients with intrasellar symptomatic RCC accepted surgery via unilateral nasal approach at the right side, 19 patients with intra-suprasellar symptomatic RCC accepted surgery via bilateral nasal approach, 3 patients with suprasellar symptomatic RCC accepted endonasal transsphenoidal surgery under endoscope, and 4 patients with suprasellar symptomatic RCC accepted craniotomy via pterion approach. The clinical efficacies and complications of patients accepted different surgical methods were compared. All patients were followed up for 3-36 months to observe the recurrence.Results:The postoperative symptoms of the patients were effectively improved, including headache relief ratio of 27/31, vision loss improvement ratio of 5/5, high prolactin relief ratio of 11/13, pituitary function improvement ratio of 9/18. Complications occurred in 6 patients, presenting as diabetes insipidus. Four patients recurred during follow-up.Conclusion:Intrasellar and intra-suprasellar symptomatic RCC accepted surgery via endoscopic transnasal transsphenoidal approach are safe and effective; selection of surgical methods for suprasellar symptomatic RCC should be determined according to the sizes and growth directions of cysts.
