Objective To clone and sequence the cDNA encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL)gene from Astragalus membranaceus.Methods RT-PCR and RACE Techniques were used to clone a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene from A.membranaceus roots with the total RNA as the template.Results The cloned gene named as AmPAL and the Genbank registry number is EF567076.Squence analysis showed that the full-length of AmPAL cDNA was 2 650 bp,including a 2 154 bp open reading frame(ORF).AmPAL was a new number of PAL family that consisted of 718 amino acids with prediated mole-cular weight of 7.805?104 and isoelectric point(PI)of 5.96.At the same time,AmPAL had the homo-logy with PAL of known leguminous plants and shared above 80% identity of amino acid sequences.Conclusion It is the first report that a novel PAL gene is cloned from A.membranaceus.This work lays a foundation for regulating phenylpropanoid pathway of medical plant with AmPAL.

Objective To evaluate antibacterial and antifungal effect of the composite chitosan artificial skin in vitro. Methods The standard strains were used in the experiment, including Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853) and Candida albicans (ATCC10231). Twelve agar plates were prepared for each standard strain, which were equally divided into the trial and the control groups. In the trial groups, 50 ?L composite chitosan dermal substitute was added to each prepared agar plate, two samples for each plate. In the control groups, composite collagen-gelatin dermal substitute was used. After the plates were incubated at 35 ℃ for 18 ~ 24 h, the antibacterial or antifungal rings of every sample were measured. Results The composite chitosan dermal substitute showed the antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853) (P

Objective To rapidly isolate and culture sweat gland epithelial cells in vitro and to observe the characteristics of the cells. Methods The secretory coils of sweat glands were dissected and picked out under an anatomical microscope, then digested by collagenase. The harvested epithelial cells of sweat gland were observed for their growth characteristics and identified by immunohistochemistry. Results The cultured epithelial cells grew very well. About 3 weeks later, a distinctive cobblestone appearance was observed in the culture. The antibody-staining showed the cells were positive for epithelial membrane antigen and cytokeratin, but negative for actin, which confirmed that the cells were sweat gland epithelial cells. Conclusion A method is established for rapid isolation and culure of sweat gland epithelial cells in vitro.

Objective: To study the expressions of Renin, angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), angiotensin receptor 1 (AT1R), and AT2R in synovial tissue of osteoarthritis (OA) at different stages. Methods: The patients who were treated with upper knee amputation because of trauma or total knee arthroplasty for OA between January 2018 and December 2018 were enrolled. Among them, 32 patients who met the selection criteria were included in the study. According to the Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) X-ray classification, they were allocated to normal synovial group (group A, n=9), moderate OA synovial group (group B, n=11, K-L level 3), and advanced OA synovial group (group C, n=12, K-L level 4). The relative expressions of Renin, ACE, AT1R, and AT2R mRNAs and proteins were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot. Results: The relative expressions of Renin, ACE, and AT1R mRNAs and proteins were significantly higher in group B and group C than in group A ( P<0.05). The relative expressions of ACE and AT1R mRNAs and proteins and Renin protein were significantly higher in group C than in group B ( P<0.05). However, the relative expressions of AT2R mRNA and protein were lower in group B and group C than in group A ( P<0.05), and in group C than in group B ( P<0.05). Conclusion: The expressions of Renin, ACE, and AT1R in synovial tissue of osteoarthritis significantly increase as the K-L level increased, and the expression of AT2R decreases. Renin, ACE, AT1R, and AT2R have a certain degree of correlation with the development of OA.

Objective To compare the epidermal shape built by different passages of keratinocytes and its ability of proliferation and differentiation in three-dimensional conditions.Methods Different passages of keratinocytes were used to construct tissue-engineered skin.The morphology of the tissue-engineered skin was observed with HE and PAS staining,while CK1/CK10,CK5/CK14,Ki67 were detected by immunohistochemical assays.Results All the tissue-engineered skin had a significant dermoepidermal structure.The stratification of 1st and 2nd passage skins were better,and 2nd passage epidermis was thicker than that in other passages (P＜0.05).Dermoepidermal structure in collagen type Ⅳ group binded more tightly,but collagen type Ⅳ had little effect on the thickness of the epidermis (P＞0.05).In collagen type Ⅳ group PAS stain was negative,indicating type Ⅳ collagen was unable to promote the reconstruction of BM in vitro.The Ki-67 proliferation index of the 2nd keratinocyte was similar to the normal skin,the remaining passages keratinocyte proliferation gradually decreased (P＜0.05) ; the 1st and 2nd passage skins expressed CK1/CK10 and CK5/CK14.Conclusions Keratinocytes before the 3rd passage have a better ability in the proliferation and differentiation,and so they are more suitable as seed cells for tissue-engineered skin.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of surgical excision combined with recom binant interferon aipha-2b in the treatment of acral malignant melanoma (MM). Methods Fifteen patients with acral MM admitted to the department since 2004 were recruited into this study. The tumors varied from 1.8 mm to 3.9 mm in invasion depth. Thin tumors with an invasion depth of 1.8 - 2.0 mm were excised with a margin of lcm beyond the tumors, and those with an invasion depth of 2.0 - 3.9 mm were excised with a margin of 2 cm beyond the tumors. After excision, 4 cases of minor excision were sutured directly, 10 cases of large excision were repaired with adjacent skin grafts and flaps, 1 patient with the involvement of the first metatarsophalangeal joint underwent toe amputation followed by the repair of planta wound surface with the remaining skin on the dorsa of toes. Patients received intramuscular recombinant interferon alpha-2b for 3 months (3 million units daily for the first 3 days and 6 million units for the remaining days) following operation. Results There were 6 cases of MM in situ and 9 cases of invasive MM in this study. All the skin grafts and flaps survived. Within the 3-year follow up, relapse was observed only in 1 patient with invasive MM. Recovery was achieved in the functions of feet in all patients. Conclusion The excision of tumors with a margin determined by tumor thickness plus intramuscular interferon alpha-2h may improve the survival of patients with cutaneous MM in planta pedis with avoidance of amputation.

Objective To investigate the effect of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on migration and apoptosis of,as well as phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt) expression in cultured human eccrine sweat gland epithehal cells (hESGc).Methods The first generation of hESGc were cultured in keratinocyte serum free medium (KSFM) and treated with various concentrations (2,20,40μg/L) of HGF for different durations.Then,cell scratch test was performed to detect cell migration,a double staining flow cytometry assay using annexin VFITC/propidium iodide to detect cell apoptosis.and Western blot to measure the expression of p-Akt.Results HGF of 2μg/L had no effect on the migration of hESGc,while that of 20 μg/L and 40μg/L could promote the migration of hESGc by 33.2% and 228.2%.respectively.The average number of cells migrating into the scrach zone was significantly lower in untreated cell group than that in 20 and 40μg/L HGF-treated cell group (17.3±5.5 vs 23.0±6.3 and 56.7±7.9,t=2.653, 15.858,P<0.05,0.01, respectively).The apoptosis rate was 14.76% in untreated cells,14.16%,13.5% and 8.87% in cells treated with HGF of 2,20 and 40μ/L, respectively;there was a significant difference between untreated cells and 40μg/L HGF-treated cells (t=7.852,P<0.01).HGF could activate the phosphorylation of Akt protein and increase the expression of p-Akt.Conclusion HGF could promote the migration of,inhibit the apoptosis of,and stimulate the p-Akt expression in.hESGc.
