Objective To study the functional mechanism of Yougui Pill(Right Restoring Pill)through its effect on cerebral gene of mice models with kidney-yang asthenia caused by excessive physical and sexual activity.Methods There were 10,15,10 male mice in the control,model and treatment groups respectively.The control and model groups were treated with 0.5ml permouse perday distilled water by gavage while the treatment group was given 0.5ml permouse perday suspension of Yougui Pill.In the model and treatment groups,the ratio of male and female was 1∶6,feeding in the same cage,and the males were swimming everyday for 30~40 minutes,4 weeks in succession,to induce the kidney-yang asthenia.The 36K mouse cerebral gene chips were used to measure the brain genes of mice of 3 groups.The intensity ratio of fluorescence signals ≥2 and ≤0.5 were used as the scale to screen out the remarkably different genes.Results In the model and control groups,totally 186 gene with different expressions were screened out,including the 150 up-regulated genes and 36 down-regulated genes.In the treatment and model groups,155 gene with different expressions were screened out,including the up-regulated 64 genes and 91 down-regulated genes.There were 32 genes up-regulated in the model and control groups but down-regulated in the treatment and model groups,mainly involving the inflammation perimmunity and neurotransmissions persignal transduction genes.There were 12 genes down-regulated in the model and control groups but up-regulated in the treatment and model group,mainly involving the hormone related genes of melanin and orphan nuclear receptor.Conclusion Yougui Pill may make the notably down-regulated genes of melanin markedly up-regulated in mice models of kidney-yang asthenia,improving the effect of hormone related orphan nuclear receptor and promoting the cellular proliferation.

Age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) is one of a leading worldwide cause of blindness. AMD is a multifactorial disease, and major risk factors include increasing age, current smoking, previous cataract surgery, environmental factors, nutritional factors, genetic markers through genetic regulate complement, lipid, angiogenesis and extracellular matrix. In addition to treatment, epidemiology, risk factors and genetics research of AMD have been significantly progressed. This article will review risk factors of AMD.

In the past, the ways to amblyopia neural mechanism research are given priority to visual electrophysiology and so on, which express the result use two -dimensional form, these ways mainly research the functions of the state before the lateral geniculate body. For the study of optic center, animal models are used to research it. But these kinds of methods are unable to accurately detect amblyopia neural mechanisms of human beings. Vulnerable to a variety of factors, it is difficult to finish the amblyopia treatment effect evaluation. Functional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI ) can reflect the three-dimensional visual cortex neuron activity noninvasively and accurately, and give rise to amblyopia neural mechanism and therapeutic effect evaluation. Therefore, in this paper, the amblyopia neural mechanisms and visual center after treatment effect evaluation of fMRI research progress are summarized.

Objective To study the role of Ginsenoside Re and Rb3 on mice with viral myocarditis (VMC) and explore the mechanisms. Methods BALB/C mice were infected by coxsackievirus B3 ( CVB3) to establish VMC model. The mice were divided into control group,virus group and Ginsenoside Re and Rb3 treatment group(treatment group). On day 5,day 10,day 20 after infection,the level of serum crea-tine phosphokinase-MB( CK-MB) was detected. Then myocardial sections stained with Masson′s trichrome were used to observe the distribution of mice myocardial collagen fibers, quantify collagen volume fraction (CVF),and detect the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD). Results (1)The level of CK-MB peaked on day 5,and decreased afterwards[day 5:(463. 68 ± 47. 62) U/L; day 10:(588. 81 ± 56. 09) U/L; day 20:(340. 48 ± 58. 22) U/L,respectively]. While the levels of CK-MB in treatment group were lower than those in virus group[day 5:(378. 69 ± 56. 02) U/L;day 10:(452. 56 ± 67. 78) U/L; day 20:(327. 13 ± 47. 20) U/L,respectively] in the same point. There were significant differences between groups on day 5 and day 10 (P<0. 01). (2) In viral group,the blue staining degree gradually increased with time in myocardial sections stained with Masson′s trichrome,especially in myocardial necrosis area. Compared with treatment group,CVF increased significantly in virus group on day 10 and day 20 ( day 10:6. 52% ± 2. 34% vs. 8. 94% ± 1. 67%;day 20:7. 00% ± 1. 53% vs. 10. 46% ± 1. 74%,P<0. 01). The levels of SOD in myocardial sections in virus group were lower than those of control group[day 5:(48. 83 ± 17. 74) U/L;day 10:(61. 41 ± 14. 58) U/L;day 20:(66. 26 ± 18. 97) U/L,respectively,P<0. 05],but in treatment group,the level of SOD could beimprovedsignificantly[day5:(72. 07 ±24. 85)U/L;day10:(83. 22 ±19. 52)U/L;day20:(92. 00 ± 20. 46) U/L, respectively, P < 0. 05]. Conclusion Because of the inhibition of oxygen radicals and oxidative stress, Ginsenoside Re and Rb3 can protect myocardial tissue. Ginsenoside Re and Rb3 can effectively reduce the extent of myocardial fibrosis. The mechanism may be related with the reduced peroxide level in vivo.

Objective To study the inter-allelic recombination event occurring in the HLA-C locus in a family of Chinese Han nationality, and to evaluate the molecular genetic background of the new HLA allele.Methods Peripheral blood samples were collected from a Chinese leukemia woman patient, as well as her healthy parents and two brothers.HLA-A, C, B, DRB1 and DQB1 alleles were typed by high-resolution PCR-sequence-based typing (SBT) method using Atria Genetic AlleleSEQR HLA SBT kits.The Protrans S4 HLA-C single allele-specific sequencing strategy was used to separate the two HLA-C alleles and to determine novelty of the allele.The full length sequences of HLA-C alleles of the patient and her parents were further analyzed using cloning and haplotype sequencing method. The HLA five loci linked haplotypes and the recombination site were analyzed by family study, meanwhile the full length sequences of the five HLA-C alleles were compared with the IMGT/HLA database by the program BLAST.Results The two haplotypes of the father and mother were a:A*0207-C*010201-B*550201-DRB1*090102-DRQ1*030302 and b:A*240201-C*120202-B*5201-DRB1*1502-DRQ1*0601, c:A*300101-C*060201-B*130201-DRB1*0405-DRQ1*0401 and d:A*110101-C*070201-B*4001-DRB1*080302-DRQ1*0601,respectively.The two brothers inherited their parent′s haplotypes a, d and b, c respectively.The two haplotypes of the patient were the maternal c and paternal recombinant a/b haplotype.The recombinant a/b haplotype A*240201-C*new-B*550201-DRB1*090102-DRQ1*030302, A*240201 came from the paternal haplotype b,while B*550201-DRB1*090102-DRQ1*030302 came from the other paternal haplotype a.When comparing the full length sequences of the HLA-C new allele with the father′s allele C*010201 and C*120202, it could deduce that the recombinant a/b haplotype derived from a recombination event occurring between the paternal chromosome 6 during meiosis.The crossover site was between genomic nt273 and nt330 of HLA-C alleles, which created a HLA-C new allele and the fifth haplotype of the family, and inherited it to the patient.The full length sequences of the new allele had been submitted to Genbank, and officially named C*0121 by WHO nomenclature committee.Conclusion This study demonstrates a rare inter-allelic recombination event occurring in the HLA-C locus within a Chinese Han family and illustrates the process of novel allele and haplotype, and provides direct theory for further studying the mechanisms of gene recombination and HLA polymorphism.

The initial study of the tumour DNA fingerprints using MYO minisatellite DNA probe wascarried out,and then,by means of DNA recombinant techniques,the fragment of MYO min-isatellite DNA probe obtained from plasmid pUC19-MYO was inserted into plasmid pGEM-4Z containing RNA polymerase promotor,thus a sub-clone refferred as pGEM-4Z-MYOwas constucted.That made an offer of the conditions of preparing RNA probe in order to in-cerase the sensitivities of DNA fingerprinting and laid a foundation for raised the efficiency of de-tecting the polymorphism of the minisatellite DNA.
