Objective To study the effects of early enriched environment on expression of growth associated protein 43(GAP-43) in hippocampus of white matter damaged(WMD) neonatal rats.Methods Two days old postnatal SD rats (n=29) were collected and randomly divided into normal control group(n=9),intervention group(n=10) and non-intervention group(n=10).The latter 2 groups were subjected to WMD at first.The right common carotid artery was dissected and ligated,and after 2 hours rest,exposed to 60 mL?L-1 oxygen 940 mL?L-1 nitrogen gas mixture.After that,intervention group received the neonatal handling and was kept in an enriched environment for 27 days.Neonatal handling was applied from the 4th day to the 10th day after WMD.Then intervention group was put into enriched environment from the 11th day to the 30th day after WMD.The other 2 groups were fed in normal environment.The abilities of sensorimotor function (hanging test and inclined plane test) were observed after intervention,and Western blot was used to examine the expression of GAP-43 in hippocampus at the 7th day and the 27th day after intervention.Results The sensorimotor function abilities of intervention group were much higher than those in non-intervention group (P

Objective To review the clinical features of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in elderly Chinese patients.Methods A literature search was conducted with the key wordsdrug-induced liver injury ordrug-induced liver disease andelderly; four Chinese medical databases were used:including Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM),Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database (VIP),Wanfang Database and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),from when the bases established to December 2011.Data from retrieved literatures of retrospective controlled studies of DILI were analyzed by SPSS 14.0 software.Results Five studies met the inclusion criteria,including 275 elderly patients (aged group) and 602 non-elderly patients (non-aged group) with DILL There was no significant difference in gender between the two groups (P > 0.05).Clinical manifestations of jaundice,fatigue,anorexia,and skin itching were more commonly seen in the aged group (P < 0.01).Cholestatic hepatic injury occurred more frequently in the aged group than in the non-aged group [24.9% (61/245) vs.18.8% (102/245),P < 0.05],while hepatocellular type occurred more frequently in the non-aged group [64.3% (350/544) vs.55.1% (135/245),P < 0.05].More DILI were induced by Chinese herb medicine and cardiovascular drugs in the aged group than in the non-aged group [47.0% (79/168) vs.35.9% (93/254) and 8.3% (14/168) vs 1.2% (3/259) respectively,P < 0.05].As for the prognosis,there was no significant difference in clinical cure and improvement rate between the two groups [84.4% (141/167) vs.81.5% (291/357),P >0.05].Conclusion The elderly are more sensitive to the drugs and have a high risk of DILI.Prevention and timely diagnosis and treatment of DILI are particularly important for elderly patients.

PurposeTo study the MRI and pathological features of ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma (OEC) in order to evaluate the value of MRI in diagnosing OEC. Materials and Methods The MRI imaging features of 8 patients confirmed by surgery and pathology were analyzed retrospectively and were compared with the results of surgery and pathology. The MRI outcome and the related histological findings were further analyzed.Results Six out of the eight patients had unilateral tumor, 3 tumors in the left and the other 3 in the right; 2 patients had masses in the both ovaries. The total number of masses was ten.The diameters of the tumors ranged from 3.5 to 16.5 cm, with the average size of (10.5±4.1) cm. The border of 2 tumors was partially fuzzy and that of the other 6 was clear. The MRI scans showed that 8 tumors were cystic-solid and the other 2 were solid with heterogeneous signals. The solid components mainly presented slightly short T1 signals and long T2 signals; the cystic ones revealed long T1 and T2 signals. The enhanced scanning showed that the solid components of 8 tumors were patchy and obviously enhanced and the other 2 had mild or moderate enhancement. The cystic components were not hyper-intense. The enhanced MRI scans of two cases of primary endometrial carcinoma with metastases to the ovaries showed thickened endometrium and mild hyper-intense.Conclusion MRI can reveal the pathological features of OEC and clearly presents the forms, components and the relationship with its surroundings of tumors. Therefore, MRI is of great importance to the clinical diagnosis of OEC.

AIM To investigate the pathways of Ca 2+ entry into ECV304 endothelial cell and the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ(AⅡ) on calcium activated non setective cation channel(CAN). METHODS The cell attachment and whole cell configurations of patch clamp technique were used to record channel activity. RESULTS (1) The single channel conductance is ? o=(12 90?2 11) pS( n =4) for Ca 2+ passing through CAN of ECV304 cell in condition of pipette solution without K + and Na + but composed 120 mmol?L -1 CaCl 2. The channel current amplitude and open time can be enhanced by 1?10 -7 mol?L -1 AⅡ. The enhanced conductance in CAN is ? 1=(22 18?2 29) pS( n =4). The results of whole cell recording are identified with single channel recording. (2) The whole cell configuration was carried out for recording voltage dependent Ca 2+ channel in ECV304 cell. The peak current amplitude was (29 32?3 56) pA( n =4). This current was inhibited to (6 00?3 94) pA( n =4) by nifedipine and activated by BayK8644. CONCLUSIONS (1)Ca 2+ enters ECV304 cell via Ca 2+ activated non selective cation channel and voltage dependent L type calcium channel. (2) AⅡ can significantly enhance the calcium entry via CAN in ECV304 cell.

To improve ethanol production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae,an integration plasmid pUPGKAT with PGK promoter(phosphoglycerate kinase promoter),adh1 gene(the coding sequences of alcohol dehydrogenaseⅠ) and CYC1 terminator(Cytochrome c transcription terminator) was constructed.Firstly,a fusion fragment composed of PGK promoter and adh1 gene was generated by over lap extension PCR and ligated into pUG6 resulting in plasmid pUPGKA.Subsequently,CYC1 termi nator was amplified from pSH65 by PCR and ligated to the SpeⅠand SacⅡrestriction site of pUPGKA.To integrate PGK-adh1-CYC1 into S.cerevisiae genome,pUPGKAT was digested by TthⅢⅠand the lin-earized plasmid was used to transform S.cerevisiae YS2-△adh2(adh2 disrupted strain) by lithium acetate method.The yeast mutant YS2-△adh2-adh1 which had the adh1 gene placed under the PGK promoter and harbored the adh2 deletion was constructed.Anaerobic fermentation showed overexpression of adh1 by PGK promoter resulted in a 8.84% higher ethanol production compared to YS2-△adh2.

Acyl carrier protein is an essential component involved in the biosynthesis of DHA(Docosahexaenoic Acid) via PKS(Polyketide synthase) pathway,which takes the growing acyl chain from one enzyme to another.One cDNA clone,with high homology of ACP,was isolated from Schizochytrium sp.FJU-512 cDNA library.The deduced amino acid sequence contained 142 residues with isoelectric point of 5.04 and had the 4'-phosphopantetheine prosthetic(4'-PP) binding site.The target fragment was digested with BamHⅠ/HindⅢand inserted into the expression vector pET-30a resulting in the plasmid pET-30a/acp.The recombinant vector was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3) and induced by IPTG.SDS-PAGE analysis demonstrated that ACP was effectively expressed.

The individual intervention control of risk factors in high-risk population is one of key preventive measures of chronic disease.A total of 312 volunteers consulted physicians in one selected community.And 23 high-risk individuals of chronic disease were screened.The physicians customized the limit or requirement of diet,activity,tobacco and alcohol for each individual and made interventions of life behaviors according to the plans.The results showed that physical state of 20 (87%) of them converted from high-risk to health after interventions.Therefore customized control plan of individual risk factors is an effective control method of chronic disease.
