1.Technique of silico cloning and its application in medicine
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2012;(6):369-372
The strategy of silico cloning based on the express sequence tags sequence (ESTs)and genome database is a new technique developed in recent years,and the core of the technique is to use bioinformatics technique to assemble and extend ESTs to get part of cDNA and even all sequence.It has the virtue of low investment,high speed,low and well-targeted technical requirements,etc.The relationship between human disease and genes has been widely confirmed,therefore,silico cloning technology will become the important means of disease research.This paper aims at elaborating the progress of silico cloning in medicine.

The human brain-derived neurotrophic factor (hBDNF) gene was cloned by polymerase chain reaction and the recombinant adeno-associated viral vector inserted with hBDNF gene (AAV-hBDNF) was constructed. Cultured rat hippocampal neurons were treated with Abeta(25-35) and serued as the experimental Abeta-induced neuronal damage model (AD model), and the AD model was infected with AAV-hBDNF to explore neuroprotective effects of expression of BDNF. Cell viability was assayed by MTT. The expression of bcl-2 anti-apoptosis protein was detected by immunocytochemical staining. The change of intracellular free Ca ion ([Ca2+]i) was measured by laser scanning confocal microscopy. The results showed that BDNF had protective effects against A-induced neuronal damage. The expression of the bcl-2 anti-apoptosis protein was raised significantly and the balance of [Ca2+]i was maintained in the AAv-hBDNF treatment group as compared with AD model group. These data suggested that recombinant AAV mediated a stable expression of hBDNF in cultured hippocampal neurons and resulted in significant neuron protective effects in AD model. The BDNF may reduce neuron apoptosis through increasing the expression of the bcl-2 anti-apoptosis protein and inhibiting intracellular calcium overload. The viral vector-mediated gene expression of BDNF may pave the way of a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the inhibitive effect of Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with different parameters on dental caries formation in rats.MethodsWistar rats were infected with S.mutans to establish the rat caries mode 1.The rat's teeth were treated with 0.9% NS and 0.2% NaF as controls;laser,photosensitizer and laser plus photosensitizer,respectively as treated groups.Hematoporyrin monomethyl ether(HM ME) was used as photosensitizer and laser as the light source.The rats were sacrificed after five weeks.Keyes count was used to measure the inhibitory effect of PDT on dental caries.The surface morphology of the teeth was evaluated by scan electronic microscopy(SEM).Results The PDT-treated group and NaF-treated group showed significantly reduced Keyes scores compared with the negative controls (P<0.05).The laser-treated group,photosensitizer-treated group and NS-treated group showed no significantly reduced Keyes scores compared with the negative controls (P<0.05).The differences of Keyes scores between various parameter PDT treated groups were significant (P<0.05).Additionally,Keyes scores reduced gradually with the increasing of laser power.The outcome of SEM showed that the teeth treated with different laser powers exhibited different changes in morphology.Conclusion HMMEPDT had significant inhibitive efficacy on caries development in rats and its inhibitory effect presented close correlation with the power of laser,which indicates that it is important to apply appropriate power in clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of imaging parameters and postprocessing methods on the quality of MR imaging of short T2 components with 3D ultrashort TE (UTE) double echo pulse sequence. Methods 3D UTE double echo pulse sequence was performed on dry human femoral specimen and the tibial diaphyses, knee joints, and tendons of ankles of a group of healthy volunteers. To investigate the effect of different trajectory delays of the imaging system(-6, -3, -2, - 1,0, 1,2, 3 s), different flip angles(4°, 8°, 12°, 16°, 20°, 24°), different TEs (0. 08, 0. 16, 0. 24, 0. 35 ms)and different postprocessing methods(difference imaging of subtracted volume and non-volume UTE)on the 3D UTE MR imaging quality, the SNR and CNR were calculated and compared, and the artifacts of the images were analysed. Results The cortical bone, periosteum, tendon and meniscus showed high signal intensity on the images of UTE pulse sequence. The best SNR was acquired with 2 s trajectory delay. The best flip angle was 8° to 12° for the human UTE imaging in vivo. The highest CNR was obtained from the TE of 0. 08 ms. The longer the TE was, the more artifacts appeared. The SNR of difference imagewas improved when image subtraction was performed afer multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) of the primary double echo images.Conclusions The short T2 components show high signal intensity on the MRI of 3D UTE double echo pulse sequence. The imaging quality can be improved by shortening TE, using appropriate flip angle and performing subtraction for difference image after MPR of the primary double echo images.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of hyperperfusion syndrome occurring after carotid artery stenting, and to discuss its nursing measures. Methods Among 220 patients who received carotid artery stenting, nine developed hyperperfusion syndrome after stent implantation. Their clinical materials were retrospectively analyzed. The nursing measures, including properly controlling blood pressure, relieving brain edema, monitoring cerebral blood flow, medication with sedation drug, stopping or reducing antiplatelet therapy, close observation of blood pressure and clinical symptoms, cooperation with physicians to control the blood pressure and to dynamically make reexamination, etc. Results Of the nine patients with hyperperfusion syndrome, complete recovery was achieved in eight at the time of discharge and death due to intracranial hemorrhage occurred in one. Conclusion The key point of nursing for patients with hyperperfusion syndrome is close cooperation with physicians to control the patient ’s blood pressure so as to ensure a proper cerebral blood flow.
