Antimicrobial peptides are a class of small peptides with anti-extrogenous pathogen activities.They are derived from organism and possess antibacterial,antifungus,antiviruses and anticancer cell actions.In recent years,it’s found that some microbial pathogens are able to resist antimicrobial peptides.The constitutive and inducible mechanism of a pathogen resists a given peptide were reviewed in this paper.

Objective To study the characteristics of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity and expression of PLA2 subtypes in rat serum and pancreas tissue with an established simple pancreatic trauma model in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty Wistar rats were divided into two groups in a one-to-two ratio: control group and impact group. The two groups were subsequently divided into four subgroups at 6h, 24h, 72h, 7d time point. For the animals in the impact groups, the pancreas was injured by a BIM- III biotical impact machine, and the animals in control group were sham injured. The total catalytic activity of PLA2 in serum and pancreatic tissue, the expressions of mRNA and protein and immunohistochemical localization of secretory PLA2 (sPLA2), cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) and calcium independent PLA2 (iPLA2) in pancreatic tissue were determined after the corresponding pretreatments in each group. Results The total catalytic activity of PLA2 in serum and pancreatic tissue of impact groups increased at 6h after injury, and the PLA2 activity reached peak value at 24h in pancreatic tissue and at 72h in serum after trauma, and at 7d in serum and pancreatic tissue were still higher than that in control group at the same time (P<0.05). The results of RT-PCR, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry indicated that the expression of sPLA2 in pancreatic tissue was higher than that of cPLA2 and iPLA2. Conclusions PLA2 activity can be upregulated in serum and pancreas after pancreatic trauma. The expression of sPLA2 is increased most significantly in pancreatic tissue after pancreatic trauma. PLA2 activity may be detected in serum 6h-7d after pancreatic trauma, and is helpful for auxiliary diagnosis of simple pancreatic trauma.

Objective To explore the effect of chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) on hippocampus neuron and growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in rats. Methods 40 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group, CIH 1 week group, CIH 3 weeks group and CIH 5 weeks group with 10 rats in each group. The CIH groups were exposed to intermittent hypoxia in designed cabin 8 hevery day for 1 week, 3 weeks and 5 weeks. The pathological changes of hippocampal neurons were observed by HE staining. The GAP-43 expression of hippocampus was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results There was degeneration and necrosis of hippocampal neurons in the CIH rats, and it became worse gradually along with the hypoxia. Compared with the control group, the GAP-43 expression in hippocampus increased in CIH rats. The peak of GAP-43 expression appeared in the 1st week (P=0.038) and then it decreased in the 3rd week (P=0.382) and it was closed to the normal level in the 5th week (P=0.860). Conclusion Degeneration and necrosis of hippocampal neurons exacerbated gradually along with the hypoxia, while GAP-43 expression changed inconsistently.

The Coat protein and Maturase gene of E.coli bacteriophage MS2 was amplified by PCR,then the gene was cloned into pET32a to construct the intermediate vector pET32aCP.The conservative sequence of FMDV internal ribosome entry site(IRES) was cloned into the downstream of pET32aCP bacteriophage gene to construct the prokaryotic expression vector pCPES.The recombinant plasmid pCPES transformed into E.coli strain BL21(DE3) was induced to express with 1mmol/L IPTG.The expression products were purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation.The expression products observed by TEM were circular viruslike particles,and the diameter of these particles was about 26nm.The stability of viruslike particles was detected,and the viruslike particles was identified by RTPCR.The results showed that the viruslike particles contain the FMDV IRES RNA and have good stability.The viruslike particles have great prospect as the standard and quality control in the area of RNA virus detection.

Objective Research the correlation between expression of MMP-2 in colorectal cancer and patho- logical factors,or biological behaviors in colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of MMP-2 in 68 cases with col- orectal cancer were detected by immunohistochemical staining.Results The expression of MMP-2 in colorectal can- cer was not correlated with tumor region and histologic type,but related with depth of tumor invasion and metasta- sis.The frequency of positive cases in patients with colorectal cancer with of lymph,node metastasis was significantly higher than that in patients without lymph node metastasis(P

Objective:To investigate frequencies of microsatellite instability(MSI)and loss of heterozygosity(LOH)in renal ceil carcinoma(RCC),and to discuss the relationship of clinicopathological characteristics of RCC with MSI and LOH. Methods:Twelve microsatellite markers located at chromosomes 3p,9p and 14q were selected to investigate microsatellite alterations(MSI and LOH)in 31 RCC specimens and their paired metastasis specimens by polymerase chain reaction- polyacrylamide gel elect rophoresis-ethylene dibromide(PCR-PAGE-EB)staining and sequencing.Results:The frequency of MSI could reached 61.3% and that of LOH could reach 54.8%.The highest frequency of MSI was at locus of D9S168(32.3%);the highest frequency of LOH was at locus of D3S1289(21.4%).No correlation was found between MSI or LOH and the patients' age,sex,pathology type and metastastis,except that MSI was correlated with TNM stage of RCC(P
