BACKGROUND: Proteins containing fibronectin domains play an important role in cell migration, adhesion, growth and differentiation and have been widely applied to a variety of new biological materials. Subcellular localization prediction of proteins containing fibronectin domains can promote protein function research and development of new biomaterials.OBJECTIVE: To realize subcellular localization prediction of proteins containing fibronectin domains. METHODS: A total of 80 human proteins were randomly selected from Uniprot database. The amino acid pairs for each protein were collocated to form 400 dimensional input feature vectors. The feature vectors were then trained and tested using support vector machine and k-nearest neighbor separately. The prediction quality was examined by the jackknife test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The prediction accuracy was 92.5% and 95% for support vector machine and k-nearest neighbor methods respectively. This suggests that support vector machine and k-nearest neighbor methods are of important significance for predicting subcellular localization of proteins containing fibronectin domains and contribute to functional research of such proteins and surface modification of new biomaterials.

Objective To discuss method,operative characters and curative effect of total hip arthroplasty(THA)in treatment of acetabular fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral head or neck fractures.Methods One stage THA was done in seven patients with acetabular fractures combined with ipsilateral femoral head fracture(one patient)or femoral neck fractures(six patients)7-21 days after fractures.There were five males and two females,at age range of 41-65 years(average 50 years).According to AO classification,there were one patient with type A fracture,three with type B and three with type C.Of all,five patients received biological acetabular replacement after reduction and internal fixation of acetabular fracture and two received PMMA acetabular replacement with metal enforcement ring.All patients received biological femoral stem.Results Of all,six patients were followed up for from 2 years and 3 months to 6 years and 5 months(mean 3 years and 9 months),which showed heterotopic ossitlcation in one patient and dislocation in one who recovered after manipulative reduction.The Harris score was increased from mean prooperative 48 points to mean postoperative 91 points.X-ray found no loosening of prosthesis during follow-up.Conclusions THA can improve function of hip joint significantly,avoid further operation and lessen the burden of patients mentally and economically and hence is effective in treatment of acetabular fracture combined with ipsilateral femoral head or neck fractures.

Objective To observe the effects of Radix Angelica Sinensis ( RAS) on depression be-havior and cytokines,TNF-αand IL-6,in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of depression model rats in-duced by chronic unpredictable mild stress ( CUMS) .Methods 32 adult male rats weighting 140-160 g were randomly divided into 4 groups: Control,CUMS,CUMS+fluoxetine and CUMS+RAS groups.CUMS procedure went on 5 consecutive weeks and during the last 3 weeks the rats in CUMS+fluoxetine and CUMS+RAS groups were taken RAS or fluoxetine via intragastric administration.After 5-week CUMS procedure, rats were subjected to sucrose preference test,forced swimming test and open field test.After behavioral tests were finished,all rats were anesthetized with 10%chloral hydrate (350 mg/kg,intraperitoneal injection) and then decapitated.The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of rats were separated and ELISA was used to detect the expression of TNF-αand IL-6 in these regions.Results Comparing with control rats, rats exposed to CUMS showed decreased sucrose preference ratio((42±15)%),prolonged immobility time ((68.28±16.50) s),decreased crossing numbers (31.25±21.56) and increased TNF-α((206.14±30.53)pg/ml) and IL-6 ((369.51±103.81)pg/ml) expression in hippocampus and TNF-α((199.33±25.67)pg/ml) and IL-6 ((347.74±81.04) pg/ml) expression in prefrontal cortex ( P<0.01).However,RAS treated rats reversed the behavioral changes such as sucrose preference ratio((66±21)%),immobility time ((32.53±10.26)s) and crossing numbers ( 83.00 ±23.25 ) , meanwhile reduced TNF-α( ( 53.42 ±12.43 ) pg/ml ) and IL-6 ((93.84±13.19)pg/ml) expression in hippocampus,TNF-α((57.58±8.33)pg/ml) and IL-6((91.18± 17.37) pg/ml) expression in prefrontal cortex among stress rats ( P<0.01) .Conclusion RAS can amelio-rate CUMS induced depression behaviors of rats through regulating hippocampus and prefrontal cortex cyto-kines ( TNF-α,IL-6) .

Iron uptake mechanism of Vibrio alginolyticus was primarily investigated. V.alginolyticus could survive in the medium with high-concentration iron chelator. The strain of V. alginolyticus isolated from diseased fish produced more siderophore than that from marine environment. The extract of siderophore from V. alginolyticus could stimulate the growth of Escherichia coli mutant AN93. Under iron limitation,the growth rate was decreased and several outer membrane proteins were induced. Adding iron into the iron-limited medium the normal growth could be recovered.

Objective To explore the protective effects of polysaccharide from Panax japonicus on free fatty acid in different parts of hepatic cell injury. Methods Polysaccharide of Panax japonicus was prepared through different concentrations of ethanol precipitation and was named as 30%polysaccharide component (pc), 60% pc and 90% pc. Palmitic acid (PA) was used to induce a cellular model of steatosis in HepG2 cells in order to screen the intervention viability of polysaccharide of Panax japonicus. MTT method was used to detect cell viability, and Oil Red O staining was used to demonstrate steatosis. Total RNA was extracted to detect the expression level of the relevant genes. Results MTT results showed that the 30% pc significantly increased cell viability compared with the model group;Oil Red O staining showed that the number of intracellular lipid droplets was significantly reduced in the 30% pc compared with the model group;RT-PCR results showed that expressions of the endoplasmic reticulum stress-related gene glucoese-regulated protein, CCAAT enhancer binding protein homologous protein and TNF-αwere significantly lower in the 30% pc compared with the model group, and there was no significant difference compared with normal control group. Conclusion The 30%ethanol precipitation fraction of polysaccharide from Panax japonicus significantly reduced PA-induced steatosis in HepG2 cells. Its mechanism was possibly realized through intervention in endoplasmic reticulum stress-related response.
