BACKGROUND: Matrix attachment region (MAR), a DNA sequence, is still bound to the nuclear matrices after chromatindigested with restriction endonuclease, not only affects expression of endogenous gene, but also overcames transgenic silence andimproves transcription and expression of exogenous gene. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of ?-interferon MAR of CHO cells on the transgenic expression of chloramphenicolacetyltransferase (CAT). DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: The opening experiment was performed at the Department of Biochemistry and MolecularBiology, Molecular Institute, Xinxiang Medical College from October 2006 to April 2007. MATERIALS: CHO cell lines were obtained from China Center for Type Culture Collection. The pCATG vector of CAT and G418screening markers were constructed by this laboratory. METHODS: Human ?-interferon MAR by PCR was digested with SacI/KpnI and BamHI/SalI, and was inserted into pCATGvector, which was propagated in Escherichia coli JM109, then extracted and purified followed by enzyme digestion analysis. Vectorof CAT expression cassette and human ?-interferon MAR by the two sides was successfully constructed, and christened aspCAT-MAR. Two methods were compared between CHO cells of pCATG transformation and CHO cells of pCATG-MARtransformation. After G418 selecting, genome DNA of cell lines of G418 was extracted, then primers for PCR to amplify the CATtarget gene fragment was designed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The activity of CAT was analyzed by ELISA method. It was also tested to see if thepCATG-MAR was stably integrated into genomic DNA in the transfected cells. RESULTS: CHO cells of pCATG transformation was screened to have 16 strains of positive cell, and CHO cells of pCATG-MARtransformation was screened to have 17 strains of positive cell. Human ?-interferon MAR could increase the CAT gene expressionby 2.8 fold. The coefficient of variation of CHO cells of pCATG transformation was 2.065 0, and coefficient of variation of CHOcells of pCATG-MAR transformation was 0.813 1. Genome DNA of stable transformation cell lines was amplified by a fragment of437 bp. The results confirmed the pCAT-MAR vector was stably integrated into genomic DNA. CONCLUSION: Human ?-interferon MAR can increase transgenic expression in CHO cells and decrease the transgenicexpression variation in different transfected cells.

Objective To observe the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and functional magnetic stimulation over spinal cord (SC-MS) on motor function recovery after spinal cord hemisection in rats. Methods T10 spinal cord hemisection model was made. The stimulation (5×10 s bursts of 5 Hz at 35% maximal stimulator output, each burst separated by a 2 m interval) was delivered daily, 5 d per week for 2 weeks. The treatment began at 4 d after surgery for rTMS group and SC-MS group. Motor function recovery was assessed with Basso, Beattie & Bresnahan locomotor rating scale (BBB) and the Horizontal Ladder test. The tibialis anterior was surgically removed at 38 d after spinal cord injury for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) iummunohistochemical staining. Results The scores of BBB and Horizontal Ladder test were significantly more at 17 d after spinal cord hemisection in rTMS group than before treatment and in spinal cord injury group (P<0.05). In SC-MS group, the scores of BBB and Horizontal Ladder Test were significantly more 10 d after SCI than before treatment and in SCI group (P<0.05). The score of Horizontal Ladder test of SC-MS group was more 10 d after SCI than that in the rTMS gourp (P<0.05). The expression of CGRP on motor endplates of the tibialis anterior in rTMS group and SC-MS group were more than those of SCI group (P<0.01). Conclusion rTMS and SC-MS in acute stage can improve the motor function recovery and muscle plasticity after spinal cord hemisection in rats. The magnetic stimulation can facilitate the recovery of motor function after spinal cord hemisection in rats.

With the developmetn of the medical humanistic education,more and more problems appear.The casualness of the medical humanistic curriculum,the monotony of the method of the evaluation,the insufficiency of the content,the inadequacy of the quality of the teachers,and the poor effect of the education are the factors affecting the development of our medical humanistic education.Through comparison of the humanistic education home and abroad,we find the key to these problems are the innovation of the curriculum and evaluation.
