Objective:Study on characteristics of two synthesizd peptides based on CSFV E2 protein. Methods:B cell epitopes of CSFV E2 antigen were predicted using accessibility and flexibility schemes, associated with antigenicity , secondary structure and multiple sites prediction. Two antigen peptides (Pep1 and Pep2) have been designed and synthesized and their reactivety were detected with 8 McAbs and antiserum against mE2 protein, then the peptides were conjugated with BSA and immunized rabbits respectively. Results:Both Pep1 and Pep2 could react with antiserum and McAb A11, Pep2 could interact with McAbD5 and McAbD8. Only Pep1 BSA conjugate can stimulate high level and specific antibodies.Conclusion: The peptide1 has good antigenicity.

[Abstract ] Objective To evaluate the inhibitory effect of chlorogenic acid on senescence of human skin fibroblasts (HSFs). Methods Fibroblasts isolated from human foreskin were treated with 1 mmol/L glyoxal in vitro to develop a model for cellular senescence. In order to select effective concentrations of chlorogenic acid, some HSFs were treated with 1 mmol/L glyoxal alone or in combination with chlorogenic acid at different concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40, 80 μmol/L)for 3 days, with those receiving no treatment serving as the blank control group. Then, methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)assay was performed to evaluate the proliferative activity of HSFs. Some HSFs were divided into 5 groups to be cultured alone(blank control group), or treated with 1 mmol/L glyoxal(glyoxal group)or the combination of 1 mmol/L glyoxal and chlorogenic acid at effective concentrations of 10, 20 and 40 μmol/L (glyoxal + chlorogenic acid groups). Senescence associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)staining and real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR were conducted to determine the percentage of senescent cells and expression level of p16INK4a mRNA respectively. Statistical analysis was carried out by one-way analysis of variance followed by the least significant difference(LSD)-t test. Results Compared with the blank control group, the glyoxal group showed significantly decreased cellular proliferative activity of HSFs (55.65% ± 2.00% vs. 100% ± 6.90%, P < 0.01), while chlorogenic acid increased the proliferative activity of HSFs in a dose-dependent manner, and the increase reached a peak at 40 μmol/L. Concretely speaking, the glyoxal + 10-, 20-, 40-, 80-μmol/L chlorogenic acid groups all significantly differed from the glyoxal group in cellular proliferative activity (60.75% ± 1.32%, 67.65% ± 1.90%, 75.71% ± 3.25% and 75.69% ± 2.38% vs. 55.65%± 2.00%, all P < 0.05), but no significant difference was observed between the glyoxal group and glyoxal + 5-μmol/L chlorogenic acid group or between the glyoxal + 40-μmol/L chlorogenic acid group and glyoxal + 80-μmol/L chlorogenic acid group (both P > 0.05). Therefore, 10 - 40 μmol/L was selected as the effective concentrations of chlorogenic acid. The glyoxal group showed significant increases in the percentage of senescent (SA-β-gal-positive)cells (35.65% ± 2.24% vs. 13.00% ± 2.22%, P < 0.01)and expression level of p16INK4a mRNA (2-ΔΔCt: 1.00 ± 0.06 vs. 0.26 ± 0.05, P <0.01)compared with the blank control group, while the glyoxal + 10-, 20-, 40-μmol/L chlorogenic acid groups showed significantly decreased percentage of senescent cells (31.50% ± 2.13% , 22.31% ± 3.11% and 19.32% ± 3.01%respectively)and expression level of p16INK4a mRNA (2-ΔΔCt: 0.88 ± 0.08, 0.73 ± 0.06 and 0.68 ± 0.04 respectively) compared with the glyoxal group (all P < 0.05). Additionally, the percentage of senescent cells decreased with the increase in chlorogenic acid concentrations in the glyoxal + chlorogenic acid groups. Conclusion Chlorogenic acid can protect HSFs from glyoxal-induced senescence.

Objective To review and analyze the prenatal diagnosis and treatment of fetal bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS).Methods Data of 68 BPS fetuses in the Department of Fetal Medicine,Guangdong Women and Children Hospital and Health Institute from January 20,2009 to January 31,2013 were reviewed.All of the 68 fetuses were diagnosed by ultrasound and volume to head circumference ratio (CVR) was measured.Postnatal surgeries at neonatal or infantile period were performed and babies were followed-up.Results With antenatal ultrasonography,fetal chest solid or hyper-echoic mass was found in all 68 cases at an average of 24 weeks of gestation (18-30 weeks) and were diagnosed as BPS after at least twice ultrasound scans.CVR was measured in these 68 cases,among them 56 cases (82.4％) were ＜1.6,and 12 cases (17.6％) were ≥1.6.Among the 12 cases with CVR≥1.6,seven developed fetal hydrops.Except for two terminated pregnancies because of CVR≥ 1.6 with fetal hydrops,all of the rest 66 cases continued their pregnancies till birth and 58 (87.9％) neonates were asymptomatic and eight (12.1％) were symptomatic.The mass was undetectable with ultrasonography in 18 fetuses during the third trimester,however,the mass was identifed again under CT scan after birth in 14 cases (another four cases unexamined).There were totally 45 cases fully recovered after lobectomy or BPS resection after birth,among which five cases underwent emergency surgery in neonatal period.Pathology results showed that 12 cases were intra-lobar and 33 cases were extra-lobar type.Totally,six cases were diagnosed as BPS under diaphragm.Sixty cases were followed up at three months to two years after birth,and all developed well and CT scan indicated normal pulmonary function.Conclusions Most BPS fetuses without hydrops have a good outcome.Fetus with BPS could wait for full term delivery following professional evaluation and standard protocol.However,the prognosis of BPS with fetal hydrops depends on prenatal evaluation and early surgical intervention.And the effect of early surgical intervention in BPS neonates is satisfied.CVR is the most important index for prenatal evaluation of BPS and CT scan after birth is critical for those babies with undetectable mass by prenatal ultrasound.

Objective To study the related factors of male pattern alopecia(MPA) and efficacy of finasteride as well as to survey the related factors influencing the life quality of patients with MPA.Methods Questionnaire with dermatology life quality index(DLQI) and center for epidemiologic studies depression scale(CES-D) were adopted to assess the life quality and psychological changes of 320 outpatients with MPA.The 320 patients with MPA of Hamilton grades Ⅱ-Ⅶ took finasteride tablet of 1mg/day for over 4 months in this clinical tria1.We analyzed the related factors of MPA,tested the related indexes,and observed for changes of hair growth and adverse reactions.Results DLQI and CES-D scores of the 320 MPA patients obviously increased.Many factors including inheritance and psychological influence were correlated with MPA.The total efficacy rate after treatment for over 4 months was 80.8%.Conclusion Hair loss significantly affected the life quality of patients with MPA and brought negative effects on the patients' psychology,which can worsen hair loss.Therefore,appropriate psychotherapy and other treatments should be given to them.MPA is a kind of disease caused by multiple factors and oral administration of finasteride(1mg) is effective and safe for treating MPA.

Objective To investigate the value of prenatal ultrasound in prognosis assessment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.Methods The ultrasonographic features of 65 fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia were analyzed,which were confirmed by after birth surgery or examination.The lung-to-head ratio (LHR) of unaffected side and O/E LHR (LHR compared to normal fetuses on same gestational weeks) were obtained,and then the relationship with the prognosis of neonates were analyzed.Results In 65 cases,45 fetuses survived and 8 fetuses died after surgery,while 12 cases did not undergo surgery and death promptly.Overall mortality was 30.77％ (20/65).In 12 hepatic intrathoracic type of diaphragmatic hernia cases,the mortality rate was 66.67 ％ (8/12).In 53 hepatic intra-abdominal type of diaphragmatic hernia cases,the mortality rate was 22.64 ％ (12/53).In 9 cases combined with other structural abnormalities,there were 8 cases were dead and 6 cases (6/8) with abnormal chest structure.LHR values were from 0.40 to 2.72,the average value was 1.59±0.69.It showed statistical difference on the mortality rate in fetus of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with different LHR (x2 =19.360,P＜0.001),The mortality rate in fetal of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with LHR 1.0 or less was higher than that with LHR ＞1.0.O/E LHR measurement values were from 23％ to 90％ and the average value was (58.25±17.61) ％.It showed statistical difference on the mortality rate in fetus of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with different O/E LHR (x2 15.261,P=0.002).The mortality rate in fetal of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with O/E LHR ≤45 ％ was higher than that with O/E LHR＞45 ％.Conclusion The prenatal ultrasound can be used to diagnose congenital diaphragmatic hernia,and to assess the development of unaffected lung and prognosis.

Aim To investigate the effect of polysac-charide of Cistanche deserticola ( CDPS) on the impro-ving ability of synaptic plasticity in memory acquisition impairment model mice induced by scopolamine. Methods The KM mice were randomly divided into six groups:scopolamine group, control group, CDPS-treated (25, 50, 100 mg·kg-1 ) group and donepezil group. Memory acquisition impairment model in mice was established with i. p. scopolamine (4 mg·kg-1 ) only once, and orally administered CDPS (25, 50, or 100 mg · kg-1 ) daily for 6 weeks before scopolamine injection. Experimental groups were subjected to step-down test and Morris water maze test. Western blot and RT-PCR analysis were used to examine the expression of GAP-43 , SYP and PSD-95 . Transmission electron
microscope was used to observe the change of synaptic number and structures. Results CDPS (25,50,100 mg·kg-1 ) could shorten the incubation period of mice in the water maze test. Control group and CDPS-treated group swam longer in Q3 than scopolamine group. Mo-reover, CDPS (50,100 mg·kg-1 ) could significantly reduce the error times and extend the incubation period in the step-down test. The results of Western blot and RT-PCR showed that CDPS significantly improved the expression of GAP-43 at the dose of 25 ,50 mg · kg-1 and SYP at the dose of 25,50, 100 mg·kg-1 in hip-pocampus of mice. However, the biochemical assays did not reveal a significant difference in the basal hipp-ocampal levels of the PSD-95 . The ultra-thin speci-mens of hippocampus showed that the number of syn-
apse was increased in CDPS-treated group. Conclu-sions Scopolamine can induce the learning and mem-ory deficits in mice to make related protein expression abnormalities in hippocampus mice, thus this causes the change of synaptic plasticity, which leads to a change in the ability of learning and memory. And CDPS can improve the expression of SYP and GAP-43 ,
increase number of synapses, recover synaptic plastici-ty, and improve the ability of learning and memory in mice.
