2.MYO minisatellite DNA probe and sub—cloning of MYO fragment
Chinese Journal of Immunology 1985;0(01):-
The initial study of the tumour DNA fingerprints using MYO minisatellite DNA probe wascarried out,and then,by means of DNA recombinant techniques,the fragment of MYO min-isatellite DNA probe obtained from plasmid pUC19-MYO was inserted into plasmid pGEM-4Z containing RNA polymerase promotor,thus a sub-clone refferred as pGEM-4Z-MYOwas constucted.That made an offer of the conditions of preparing RNA probe in order to in-cerase the sensitivities of DNA fingerprinting and laid a foundation for raised the efficiency of de-tecting the polymorphism of the minisatellite DNA.

Objective:To investigate the non-thymoma thymic morphology in patients with Myasthenia Gravis(MG), and provide the theoretical basis for extended thymectomy.Methods:From September 2008 to March 2018, extended thymectomy had been performed for 150 patients with MG in our department. In order to achieve maximal benefit, combined thoracoscopic and mediastinoscopic approach had been adopted to completely remove both thymus and ectopic thymic tissue in the neck and the anterior mediastinum. Cervical and mediastinal tissue including fat from the thyroid isthmus to the diaphragm was swept away from above the phrenic nerve. The regions containing mediastinal fat were divided into 12 stations.Results:There was no mortality. Pathology reports revealed 126(84.0%) patients with MG had hyperplastic thymus, 17(11.3%)cases with involuted thymus and 7 (4.7%)cases with normal thymus. 98 (65.3%)cases had more than two superior horns, and 59(39.3%) patients had ectopic thymic tissue in the mediastinum and in the neck. Positive rates of ectopic thymic tissue in the 12 cervical-mediastinal fat stations were 7.8%, 10.0%, 8.8%, 3.8%, 3.0%, 2.5%, 0, 0, 0.7%, 13.3%, 12.3% and 9.1%, respectively. After a follow-up period of 2-12 years, the rate of complete stable remission was 44.7%(59/132), and the effective rate was 89.4%(118/132).Conclusion:It is very meaningful to study non-thymoma thymic morphology in patients with MG in order to guide the performance of extended thymectomy and improve its outcome. For the purpose of minimally invasion, one side of mediastinal pleural should be carefully protected.

Exposure to thermal environment is one of the main concerns for manned space exploration. By focusing on the works performed on thermoregulation at microgravity or simulated microgravity, we endeavored to review the investigation on space thermal environmental physiology. First of all, the application of medical requirements for the crew module design from normal thermal comfort to accidental thermal emergencies in a space craft will be addressed. Then, alterations in the autonomic and behavioral temperature regulation caused by the effect of weightlessness both in space flight and its simulation on the ground are also discussed. Furthermore, countermeasures like exercise training, simulated natural ventilation, encouraged drink, etc., in the protection of thermoregulation during space flight is presented. Finally, the challenge of space thermal environment physiology faced in the future is figured out.

Objective To understand the level of resilience and quality of life of burn patients during convalescence,to provide theoretical guidance for burn patients' psychological crisis prevention and intervention.Methods 255 cases of burn patients during convalescence were interviewed with general status questionnaire,CD-RISC,and burn specific health scale(BSHS).Results The resilience score of burn patients was at the middle level,the level of quality of life was at the lower-middle-level,significant positive correlation was found between the level of resilience and quality of life.Resilience level had a greater impact on the level of mental health in burn patients.The factors of physical strength and tenacity of resilience scale were positively correlated with mental health.Conclusions Intervention should be given to help people improve resilience,in order to reach the effect of potential development and prevention of behavior dysfunction,so that help them engender positive psychological adjustment.

Objective To evaluate the status of self-efficacy and its influencing factors in adult patients with low vision,then explore an effective approach to improve their self-efficacy levels.Methods Seventy adult patients with low vision were sampled by random number table method.General social-demographic questionnaire and self-efficacy questionnaire were used to investigate these patients' general information and self-efficacy.Seventy pieces of questionnaires were issued and returned with the valid rate of 100%.Results The total score of self-efficacy in seventy adult patients with low vision was(16.25:±:1.93) points,92% of patients had a low level of self-efficacy.The influencing factors of self-efficacy in adult patients with low vision were the attitude toward disease,mental status and gender.Conclusions The selfefficacy in patients with low vision was affected by many factors at different levels,so we should focus on main influencing factors to adopt corresponding nursing measures in order to improve self-efficacy of adult patients with low vision.

Objective To investigate the effect of jejunal infusion of amino acids on secretion of gastrointestinal hormone in healthy dogs.Methods Six healthy adult dogs were treated with jejunal fistulas and femoral vein intubation.Twenty-four hours after the operation,solution of 8 different amino acid monomers (experimental group) or normal saline (control group) were infused into the jejunum of the dogs every 24hours.The levels of cholecystokinin (CCK),motilin,and gastrin in the peripheral plasma were measured using radioimmunoassay at the start of infusion (0 minute),and 30,60,90,and 120 minutes after infusion.Results Compared with the control group,the serum CCK level in the phenylalanine group was significantly higher 30 and 60 minutes after infusion [(1.25 ±0.19) ng/L vs.(0.66 ±0.14) ng/L,(1.23 ±0.12) ng/L vs.(0.80 ± 0.03) ng/L,both P < 0.01],while that in the tryptophan group was significantly higher 30 minutes after infusion [(1.08 ±0.26) ng/L vs.(0.66 ±0.14) rig/L,P <0.01].The other measurement results showed no statistically significant differences.Conclusions Jejunal infusion of phenylalanine or tryptophan may stimulate the secretion of gastrointestinal hormone to some extent.Aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine and tryptophan) is more potent in triggering the release of CCK than aliphatic (leucine,isoleucine,and methionine) and charged amino acids (aspartic acid,arginine,and glutamate).The mechanism may be related to the properties of the amino acids.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of Imatinib mesilate (Imatinib) on intimal hyperplasia of rabbit carotid arteries after balloon injury. Methods Thirty adult Newzealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups:group A, B and C. Their right carotid arteries were injuried then administered with 0, 25 or 50 mg/kg of Imatinib dai?ly for 14 consecutive days when the rabbits were sacrificed. The carotid arteries were harvested and sectioned for HE-stain?ing and immunohistochemisty staining. Real-Time PCR was used to examine transcription levels of PDGF-B and PDGFR-βmRNA. The plasma level of PDGF-BB was assayed by ELISA. Results Arterial intimal hyperplasia and stenosis following balloon injury were seen in three groups. Thickness and area of neointima, ratio of thickness of intima to media, ratio of area of intima to media and mRNA level of PDGF-β are all higher in group A than those in group B than those in group C (P<0.01). By contrast, the mRNA transcription level of PDGFR-β increased significantly in group C than that in group A (1.236±0.356 vs 0.708±0.372;t=2.91;P<0.01). Plasma level of PDGF-BB increased in all three groups after balloon injury than that in the baseline (P<0.01). The transcription level of PDGF-BB is higher in group A than that in group B and in group C (ng/L:23.464±3.542, 19.504±2.454, 16.588±1.207, F=17.322, P<0.05). There was no difference between group B and C. There was positive correlation between mRNA transcription level of PDGF-B and plasma level of PDGF-BB ( r=0.806, P<0.01). Conclusion Vascular injury can cause intimal hyperplasia and increased PDGF-B mRNA transcription. Imatinib mesilate could inhibit the intimal hyperplasia through down regulating PDGF-B mRNA transcription.
