Objective To establish the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene viral transferring system. Methods By means of liposome mediation, a retroviral vector pLNC-hTERT carrying a selectable marker neomycin resistance genes (Neo r) and a target gene (hTERT) was transferred into the ectropic package cells ?-2, and by using the supernatant of ?-2 cells to infect the amphotropic producer clone PA317, established PA317/hTERT package cell line. In order to get higher-titer virus, the supernatants of ?-2 infected PA317 repeatedly. Human endothelial cells were used to detect the effect of gene transfer. Results We established a PA317/hTERT package cell line which produced high-titer virus. The viral titer produced by PA317 cells was raised 20 times by repeated infection method, and with higher-titer virus the exogenous genes were successfully transferred into endothelial cell. Conclusion This method can be used to establish higher-titer viral transferring system.

Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2016;16(12):1089-1091,1095
Objective To explore the influence of no drainage on pelvic lymphocyst following laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy . Methods A total of 105 patients with cervical cancer undergoing laparoscopic radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy in this hospital from January 2012 to February 2016 were divided into either non-drainage group (50 cases) or drainage group (55 cases) according to whether the pelvic drainage tube was placed after surgery .Comparative analyses on the incidence of postoperative complications such as pelvic lymphocyst were made between the two groups . Results No significant difference in lymphocyst rate was found between the two groups [27.3%(15/55) vs.24.0%(12/50), χ2 =0.147, P=0.702].The incidence of pelvic infection was lower in the non-drainage group (2.0%, 1/50) than that in the drainage group (14.5%, 8/55), but the difference was not statistically significant (χ2 =3.781, P=0.052).Other postoperative complications including urinary retention , urinary fistula, and deep venous thrombosis of lower limb had no statistical differences between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Drainage after radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy for cervical cancer does not make a difference to the incidence of lymphocyst .Non-drainaging doesn ’ t increase the risk of infection .

Objective To construct a full-length cDNA library of human normal kidney tissues and identify the quality of the library. Methods By using the template-switching mechanism at 5′end of mRNA technique to construct the library, a powerscript reverse transcriptase was used to transcribe, and a 5′-oligo fragment as an extended template was added to 5′ end of mRNA to enrich full-length cDNAs. After amplification, the ds cDNAs digested by sfi I and size-fractionated by columns were recombined into ?TripIEx 2 vectors. After package, the recombinant vectors were titered and the recombinant rate (blue/white) was determined,then the library was amplified. We identified the library using PCR reaction to determine the size of the inserts. Results The titer of cDNA library was 2.6?10 6pfu?mL -1, the rate of recombinant was above 95%, and the titer of amplified library was 9?10 11pfu?mL -1. The insert size ranged from 0.7 to 2 kb. Conclusion The cDNA library of human normal kidne we constructed is a highly efficient one and can be used for screening by probe and antibody to find the genes related to kidney diseases.

Objective To examine the differently expressed in vasion-related genes in two anchorage-independent uterine cervical carcinoma c ell lines derived from the same patient using a cDNA array. Methods Two human uterine cervical carcinoma subclonal cell lines CS03 and CS07 derived from a single donor line CS1213 were established by limited diluting procedure and their cloning efficiency was counted in soft aga r. The expression of cellular adhesive molecules CD44, E-cadherin and Fibroneti n were studied by flow cytometry and immunohistochemical staining. The two cDNA samples retro-transcribed from total RNA derived from CS03 and CS07 cells were screened by a cDNA microarray carrying 1011 human signal transduction and membra ne receptor-associated genes and scanned with a ScanArray 3000 laser scanner. Results The cloning efficiency was 38.5% in CS07 cells and 0 in CS03 cells, respectively. CD44 were 35.1% and 13.7% in CS03 and CS07,respe ctively. The cDNA microarray analysis showed that 12 genes in CS03 were upregula ted compared with CS07, and 21 genes in CS07 were upregulated. The function of a number of differently expressed genes is consistently associated with cell prol iferation, migration, apoptosis, signal transduction and tumor metastasis, inclu ding p34 cdc2, TSC22, plasminogen activator inhibitor I (PAI-1)and desmoso me associated protein (Pinin). Conclusion Multiple genes are differently expressed in uter ine cervical carcinoma cell lines even in the same patient. It is suggested that these genes are involved with the phenotypic characteristics and development of cervical carcinoma.

This study was aimed to investigate the efficacy, acceptance, complications / adverse events treated with traditional manipulation and bed rest for patients with acute nonspecific low back pain (ANLBP). A total of 60 ANLBP patients were distributed into the Group A/B randomly and equally. Patients in Group A were treated by bed rest absolutely for one week; meanwhile patients in Group B were treated by traditional manipulation for one week. IBM SPSS20.0 was used to analyze the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Chinese Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), acceptance, complications / adverse events and others. The results showed that VAS and ODI reduced after one-week treatment in Group A and B (t = 14.67, 11.55, allP < 0.001 andt = 24.80, 15.35, allP <0.001). Differences of VAS and ODI were with significant difference between Group A and B (t = 3.24, 2.75,P =0.002, 0.009). Scores of acceptance and complications / adverse events were with significant difference between Group A and B (t = 2.65,P = 0.01 andχ2= 10.00,P = 0.002). It was concluded that both manipulation and bed rest can alleviatepain due to ANLBP, promote functional recovery. However, traditional manipulation can better improve symptoms, easier to be accepted by patients with less complications / adverse events.

Objective To screen and identify differentially expressed genes in two new human urothelial carcinoma cell lines, BLS-211 and BLX. Methods Suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) was used to createa subtracted library, and clones were sequenced. Results Totally 13 over-expressed genes in BLX and 9 in BLS-211 cells were obtained, respectively. Among them, 18 were known genes and 4 were new ESTs (Expressed Sequence Tag), and were collected by GenBank dbEST database (The access number was EB390424-7). Conclusion SSH is a powerful method for the identification of differentially expressed genes. The differential expression of some BCG-associated genes in different cells may be related to the different responses to clinical BCG therapy. The identified new ESTs can be cloned for full length to further study their functions.
