Objective To verify the applicability of Lowry2 method[the second method of Folin-phenol method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(VolumeⅢ,2020 edition)]for the determination of protein content of intermediate products of component pertussis vaccine.Methods The standard and sample were precipitated and pretreated with deoxycholate and trichloroacetic acid to remove impurities,and then reacted with Folin-phenol,and the absorbance was measured at 750 nm wavelength.The standard curve was drawn with the concentration and absorbance of the standard,and the sample concentration was calculated. The method was verified for the specificity,linearity,accuracy and precision,and used to detect the protein content of intermediate products of three batches of component pertussis vaccine.Results There was no significant difference between the protein content in background buffer of intermediate product detected by this method and that in ultrapure water(t = 0. 277～1. 178,P = 0. 304～0. 795);The linear relationship of standard curve was good at the protein concentration of 0～50 μg/mL,each R~2> 0. 98;The spike recovery of accuracy verification was in the range of 90%～110%;The RSDs of repeatability and intermediate precision verification were both less than 3%. The detection results of protein content in the intermediate products of three batches of component pertussis vaccine all met the requirements of internal manufacturing and verification regulations.Conclusion Lowry2 method has good specificity,accuracy and precision,and can be used to determine the protein content of component pertussis intermediate products,which provides a basis for the applicability of Lowry2 method.

Objective To investigate the radiographic characteristics of degenerative lumbar scoliosis (DLS) and its relationship to osteoporosis. Methods 229 cases (83 males, 146 females) of DLS from January 1998 to June 2005 were reviewed. The mean age was 56.8 years (ranged from 40 to 74 years). The Cobb angle and vertebral stability in coronal plane were measured in anteroposterior radiographs and the changes of lordosis in sagittal plane were observed in lateral radiographs. The bone mineral density(BMD) and T-Score of lumbar spine (L2-L4) were measured using Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry. Results The mean Cobb angle is 9.45??4.79?, 151 cases(66%) with the angle less than 10?, 60 cases (26%) with 10?-20?, and 18 cases (8%) with more than 20?. Right side scoliosis were found in 52% (120 cases), left side in 48% (109 cases). 159 cases (69%) companied with gradeⅠ(Nash-Moe) vertebra rotation, 54 cases (24%) with grade Ⅱ. And the vertebra rotation was most evident on scoliosis apex. There were 20 cases (9%) with more than 4 mm lateral translation between the lumbar vertebrae which were usually the apex vertebrae with the most degenerative changes. The physical lordosis decreased in most cases in which 16 cases (7%) developed lumbar or thoracolumbar kyphosis. And the kyphosis degree was not relevant to scoliosis Cobb angle. The mean T-Score of BMD measurement was -1.88?0.17, which was -1.49?0.14, -2.56?0.24, -2.89?0.50 for the groups of with Cobb angle 20? respectively. There were 153 cases (67%) with T10?), and 98 cases (43%) with T

Objective To investigate the effects of transforming growth factor-?1(TGF-?1), fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2), platelet derived growth factor-bb(PDGF-bb) and hepatocyte growth factor(HGF) on adult human articular chondrocytes(AHAC) proliferation and phenotype maintaining. Methods Isolated AHAC were cultured in DMEM/F-12 supplemented with 10% human AB serum, 50 ?g/ml ascorbic acid-2-phosphate, 0.4 mmol/L proline, 5 ?g/ml insulin and 1 mmol/L non-essential amino acids (NEAA). The cells of 2nd passage were used for proliferation kinetics studying: 2.0?103 cells/well were seeded on 96-well plate, 24 h later, the cells were stimulated with various growth factors or combinations of these growth factors respectively, and the proliferation kinetics were analyzed by MTT colorimetric method. The passaged chondrocytes' phenotype were assessed by safranine O staining and immunostaining for type Ⅰ,Ⅱcollagens and aggrecan. Results All four growth factors: FGF-2, TGF-?1, PDGF-bb and HGF, could promote the proliferation of AHAC, and the optimal concentrations,when used separately, were 50 ng/ml, 1 ng/ml, 1 ng/ml, 20 ng/ml respectively. While 5 ng/ml FGF-2 combined with 1 ng/ml TGF-?1 could achieve the best proliferation effect, additionally adding PDGF-bb, HGF or both could not enhance more. With the combination of FGF-2 and TGF-?1, the AHAC could expand over 2000-fold and passage over 10 times. Chondrocytes of 9th passage still excreted type Ⅱcollagen and glycosaminoglycan(GAG). Conclusion 5 ng/ml FGF-2 combined with 1 ng/ml TGF-?1 is a very appropriated circumstance for in vitro expanding of AHAC.

Monoclonal antibodies ( McAb ) , a rapidly expanding class of therapeutic biological products, have been widely used in the treatment of various diseases. Although antibodies have shown tre-mendous clinical value, the breadth and complexity of human diseases urge researchers to constantly develop new drugs with new modes of action rather than to confine them to monoclonal antibodies alone. Fc fusion proteins are becoming a new research hotspot and have shown great potential in the treatment of many human diseases. At present, Fc fusion proteins on the market usually take the interaction between receptors and lig-ands as the main guiding strategy to develop more safer and effective clinical drugs. This article mainly fo-cused on the ligand-receptor interaction as the drug design strategy and the application. of Fc fusion pro-teins.
