Journal of Chongqing Medical University 2003;0(06):-
Objectives To localize the initiation site of the transcript driven by the cDNA corresponding to SARS - CoV 5 ' - UTR when it act as a promoter. Methods The plasmid pGI3 -5' - UTR, in which a reporter gene Luc was driven by the cDNA corresponding to SARS - CoV 5' -UTR, was transfected into HepG2 cells, and then the total RNA was extracted. Subsequently, the extracted total RNA was reverse - transcribed using a specific primer and subjected to two turns of semi - nested PCR. The PCR product was cloned into a T - vector for sequencing. Results A 440bps product was harvested by reverse - transcription and two turns of semi - nested PCR, and the 56th nucleotide of SARS - CoV 5 ' - UTR was found being the initiation site, followed downstream with a highly conserved transcription - regulating sequence (TRS). Conclusion The 56th nucleotide and its downstream TRS of SARS - CoV 5 ' - UTR is key roles in regulating gene transcription.

BACKGROUND:The human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is one of preferred growth factors for regulating proliferation and directional differentiation, has multiple biological effects, and laids the foundation for geneticaly engineered immortalized stem cel lines. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect ofhTERT gene-modified umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on acute kidney injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion in rats. METHODS:The human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cels were cultured in vitro. Rat models of acute kidney injury induced by ischemia and reperfusion were established. Rat models were randomly divided into three groups. Rats in the control group were injected with 1 mL L-DMEM medium through caudal vein. Rats in the negative transfection group were injected with 1 mL umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel suspension after empty virus transfection through caudal vein. Rats in the hTERT transfection group were injected with 1 mL umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel suspension after PLXSN-hTERT transfection through caudal vein. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3 and 28 days after transplantation, hematoxylin-eosin staining showed renal tubular damage score in the hTERT transfection group < negative transfection group < control group (P < 0.05). At 28 days after transplantation, the number of CM-Dil-positive cels in the hTERT transfection group > negative transfection group > control group (P < 0.05). At 1, 3, 14, and 28 days, serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels in the hTERT transfection group < negative transfection group < control group (P < 0.05). The results confirm that hTERT gene-modified umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel transplantation has a significant repair effect on acute kidney injury in rats.

Chinese Journal of Biochemical Pharmaceutics 2014;37(7):141-143
Objective To discuss clinical curative effect and value of valsartan combined with Huangkui capsule on the chronic glomerulonephritis proteinuria.Methods 70 cases of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis proteinuria were selected in our hospital,and randomly divided into two groups,35 cases in control group with valsartan oral,80 mg per time,once per day,8 weeks as a course of treatment;35 cases in experimental group, combined with Huangkui capsule on the basis of conventional treatment orally,5 capsules per time,3 times per day,8 weeks for a period of treatment. After 8 weeks treatment,changes of serum creatinine,serum urea nitrogen,the urine protein and clinical therapeutic effect were compared before and after treatment in two groups.Results Contents of serum urea nitrogen,serum creatinine,urine protein were improved in two groups after treatment, and serum creatinine contents of experimental group (153.69 ±13.78)μmol/L was lower than that of control group (179.19 ±23.49)μmol/L,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);serum urea nitrogen contents of experimental group (7.09 ±1.16)mmol/L was lower than that of control group (9.29 ±2.38)mmol/L,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);urine protein contents of experimental group (0.57 ± 0.32)g/L was lower than that of control group (0.89 ±0.26)g/L,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);clinical curative effect of experimental group was better than that of control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05 ).Conclusion Valsartan combined with Huangkui capsule could effectively reduce albuminuria symptomsin the treatment of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis proteinuria,which has a remarkable effect,and has a positive significance for the renal function recovery.
7.The different methods to induce the osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2014;(41):6609-6613
BACKGROUND:At present, heterologous serum as a medium is a common method for culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, but it is limited by the disease transmission between species, the potential immune rejection and even controversial ethic issues. This method is also contrary to the requirements of the Ministry of Health. Autologous platelet-rich plasma is a kind of whole blood extract, containing a variety of growth factors. OBJECTIVE:To explore the osteogenic differentiation of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells cultured in autologous platelet rich plasma alternative to traditional heterogeneous serum-free culture. METHODS:8 mL bone marrow from the rabbit iliac crest was extracted and anti-coagulated with heparin, and then bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated using density gradient centrifugation. The cells were divided into autologous platelet rich plasma group (10%autologous platelet rich plasma) and fetal bovine serum group (10%fetal bovine serum). At the passage 4, the cells in the two groups were respectively subdivided into experimental and control groups. Experimental groups were subjected to osteogenic induction, while no change was done in the control groups. cellproliferation was determined by using growth curves;the activity of alkaline phosphatase was detected to adjust the osteogenic differentiation of cells in different groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells at different generations al showed good proliferation. At 12 days of autologous platelet rich plasma culture, the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the passage 4 cells in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group;while the activity of alkaline phosphatase in the autologous platelet rich plasma group was significantly higher than that in the fetal bovine serum group (P<0.01). These findings indicate that autologous platelet rich plasma as a substitute of xenogeneic serum for culture of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells is a method characterized as safe and reliable, simple operation, high-purity active induction.

Journal of International Oncology 2014;41(5):335-337
The etiology of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is still not very clear.Epigenetics is proved to play an important role in the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Detection of epigenetics can serve as molecular index of NPC,and it is advantageous to the prognosis and disease of NPC.Different intervention measures in the epigenetics can be used as a new treatment of NPC,as well as the development of new NPC radiotherapy sensitization agent and new drugs.Study of epigenetics changes in nasopharyngeal carcinoma provides a new idea for the diagnosis and treatment in NPC and so on.
9.Effect of scopolamine on depression in mice.
Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica 2011;46(4):400-5
Based on the report of previous clinical study which showed cholinergic receptor antagonist scopolamine had antidepressant activity, this study was to investigate the antidepressant activity of scopolamine and explore its effective dose in mice, and to evaluate the effect of scopolamine on the central nervous system and learning/memory ability at its antidepressant effective dose. Tail suspension test, forced swimming test, step-down passive avoidance test and open field test were used to evaluate its effects on mice. Compared with the vehicle control group, single-dose administration of scopolamine (0.1-0.4 mg x kg(-1), ip) significantly decreased the immobility time (P < 0.01 or P < 0.001) in tail suspension test, and significantly decreased the immobility time (P < 0.001) in forced swimming test, but had no effect on the step-down latency and errors in step-down passive avoidance test. Scopolamine (0.1 and 0.2 mg x kg(-1), ip) had no influence on the locomotor activity in open field test, while at dose of 0.4 mg x kg(-1) significantly increase the locomotor activity. These results showed that scopolamine produced reliable antidepressant effect at doses of 0.1 and 0.2 mg x kg(-1), without impairment on learning and memory, as well as excitory or inhibitory effect on central nervous system in mice.
