To understand the structure of the soluble region of Enterovirus 68 3A protein, we construct a prokaryotic expression vector expressing the soluble region of EV-D68 3A protein, and identify the forms of expression product after purification. The EV-D68 3A(1-61) gene was amplified by PCR and then cloned into the expression vector pET-28a-His-SUMO. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 induced by IPTG to express the fusion protein His-SUMO-3A(1-61). The recombinant protein was purified by Ni-NTA Agarose and cleaved by ULP Protease to remove His-SUMO tag. After that, the target protein 3A(1-61) was purified by a series of purification methods such as Ni-NTA, anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromato- graphy. Chemical cross-linking reaction assay was taken to determine the multiple polymerization state of the 3A soluble region. A prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-His-SUMO-3A(1-61) expressing the solution region of EV-D68 3A was successfully constructed and plenty of highly pure target proteins were obtained by multiple purification steps . The total protein amount was about 5 mg obtained from 1L Escherichia coli BL21 with purity > 95%. At the same time, those results determined the homomultimer form of soluble 3A construct. These data demonstrated that the expression and purification system of the soluble region of 3A were successfully set up and provide some basic konwledge for the research about 3A crystal structure and the development of antiviral drugs targeted at 3A to block viral replication.

Objective To investigate and analyze the postoperative progression of ossification of the patients with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) on cervical spine. Methods From Jaunary 2001 to December 2007, 95 postoperative patients with cervical OPLL were followed and analyzed retrospectively. There are 72 males, 23 females, with the average age of 56.3 years (range, 40-73years). The follow-up time was from 1 to 6 years, average 3.1 years. Among them 36 patients were performed with anterior cervical corpectomy, fusion with titanium mesh and fixed with cervical plates, others treated with posterior cervical laminectomy and fixation. 2 of the 95 cases were performed anterior and posterior combined operation. Clinical data, X-rays, CT and MR images and progression of ossification, were measured and analyzed in details .The relationships between the progression of ossification and relative factors, as gender, age, C3 ossified involved, T-OPLL, OPLL-type, time of follow-up, surgical approach, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) scores and improvement rate of JOA scores, were analyzed. Results Progression of ossification in 39 cases among the 95 followed postoperative OPLL patients, 28 men and 11 women, average age 55.9 years, range 41-71 years. The age of progressed patients included 12 cases of ≤49 years, 12of 50-59 years, 12 of 60-69 years and 3 of ≥70 years. 35 patients were operated by posterior approach and only 4 treated with anterior operation. According to the standard of the progression of ossification that 2 mm in the length or/and thickness, there are 4 cases progressed only in length, 2 only in thickness, other 33 patients both the length and thickness. Progression of length is from 2mm to 20mm (average 7.74±4.71). But thickness is progressed from 2 mm to 6 mm (average 2.67±1.51). From 1 to 3 years follow-up time it appeard as a downtrend about the progression of ossification. But it may appear an uptrend from the 4th year. JOA score and improvement rate of the JOA score were almost improved to the high-point in three years. And according to the statistic data there are obvious relationship between progression of ossification with age, surgical approach and C3 ossified involved. Conclusion There is a high rate of postoperative ossification progression in cervical OPLL patients. Cervical OPLL patients with C3 ossification involved, performed with posterior laminectomy and those young at surgery may have higher rate of progression of the ossification. The JOA score and improvement rate of the JOA score were little influenced by the progression of the OPLL during the short and intermediate-term follow-up.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effects of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) and continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) for treatment of patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).Methods A prospective observation was conducted, seventy patients with MODS admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical College from September 2013 to December 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a CVVH group and a CVVHDF group according to different treatment, 35 cases in each group. In the CVVH group, the ultrafiltration fluid flow rate was set at 1800 mL/h, while in the CVVHDF group, the flow rate was set at 2000 mL/h for both substitution fluid and dialysate, and the blood flow of the two groups was 150-180 mL/min. The changes of creatinine (SCr), urea nitrogen (BUN), pH value, HCO3-, helper T cell (Th1, Th2) and Th1/Th2 ratio were compared between the two groups before and after treatment for 24, 48 and 72 hours.Results With the extension of time, SCr, BUN were reduced in both groups after treatment compared to those before treatment, 72 hoursafter treatment they reached the lowest value, and the degree of change in CVVHDF group was more significant than that in CVVH group [SCr (μmol/L): 150.62±32.09 vs. 180.41±30.52, BUN (mmol/L): 7.31±2.19 vs. 9.06±2.36. allP < 0.05], after treatment; the pH value, HCO3- level in the two groups had a tendency at first elevated and then lowered, 48 hours after treatment they reached the peak values, compared with those before treatment, the differences were statistically significant [CVVH group: the pH value 7.42±0.08 vs. 7.25±0.10, HCO3- (mmol/L) was 22.49±5.11 vs. 15.65±4.16; CVVHDF group: pH value 7.41±0.04 vs. 7.24±0.11, HCO3- (mmol/L) 23.24±4.78 vs. 15.65±4.16, allP < 0.05], 72 hours after treatment, they began reduced (CVVH group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.39±0.09, 22.35±4.91 respectively, CVVHDF group: pH value, HCO3- were 7.38±0.06, 23.13±4.61 respectively), but they were still significantly higher than those before treatment, and at each time point compared between the two groups, no statistical significant difference was seen (allP > 0.05). With the extension of therapeutic time, Th1, Th1/Th2 in two groups were gradually elevated after treatment, and 72 hours after treatment they reached the peak values; Th2 showed a trend of gradual decrease and after 72 hours of treatment it reached the lowest value, and the changes in CVVHDF group were more significant than those in CVVH group [Th1 (×10-2): 1.51±0.12 vs. 1.21±0.11, Th2 (×10-2): 1.64±0.65 vs. 1.70±0.18, Th1/Th2: 0.91±0.14 vs. 0.71±0.15, allP < 0.05].Conclusion Both CVVH and CVVHDF can effectively remove inflammatory mediators and metabolic products, adjust the balance of acid and base, regulate immune system in the body of patients with MODS, and the CVVHDF is more effective than CVVH.

Nanoparticle delivery systems have good application prospects in the field of precision therapy, but the preparation process of nanomaterial has problems such as short in vivo circulation time, easy recognition, and clearance by the immune system in the body. In recent years, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mediated by natural cell membranes have become a research hotspot to address these issues. The natural membrane biomimetic nanoparticle delivery system cleverly integrates the advantages of natural biofilm "autologous" and "artificial" functional carriers by using endogenous cell membranes to modify the surface of nanocarriers, endowing them with characteristics such as tumor targeting, low immunogenicity, and long blood circulation. Currently, biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems have been used in the treatment of malignant tumors, cardiovascular diseases, bacterial infections, and other diseases. This paper analyzes the development status and current research hotspots of natural cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems mainly reviews the latest research progress of red blood cell membrane camouflaged biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems in the field of disease treatment in recent years. It focuses on exploring the advantages, future development prospects, and limitations of biomimetic nanoparticle delivery systems based on red blood cell membrane camouflage in improving drug delivery, to provide a reference for the in-depth research and development of this system.
