Based on M9 culture medium,the concentration of ingredients of culture medium was optimized for the fermentation of pNSR32/BL21(DE3),the engineering bacterial with spider silk protein,and lactose as an inducer.The condition of optimum culture medium was obtained for the expression of the high molecular weight recombinant spider silk protein by using orthogonal and individual factor experimental design.The result was showed that the optimum culture medium was consisted of 0.3% glycerol,3% yeast,0.75% tryptone,0.05%(NH_4)_2SO_4 and a little inorganic salt_.It was confirmed that the optimum culture medium will benefit the growth of bacterial and expression of recombinant spider silk protein.The production level of propose protein will attain at 20% of the total proteins in the fermentation.

Objective To explore the effect of recombinant human vascular endostatin(Endostar,YH-16) on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells in nude mice. Methods Forty nude mice were randomized into four groups and received injection with MCF-7 cells. When gross tumor volume reached 1.0 cm3 ,mice were injected subcutaneously once every two days as following for 20 days: (1) O. 9% NS(0. 2 mg/kg) in negative control group;(2) YH-16(20 mg/kg) in YH-16 group; (3) DDP (1 mg/kg) in positive control group; (4) DDP (1 mg/kg) plus YH-16(20 mg/kg) in DDP plus YH-16 group. Mice were killed by cervical spine disloca-tion. And the body weight, tumor volume, rate of tumor inhibited, VEGF, apoptosis rate of tumor cells and pul-monary metastasis rate were detected. Results The means (SD) of tumor volume in DDP plus YH-16 group,positive control group, YH- 16 group and negative control group were 0. 686 (0. 229), 1. 258 (0. 101), 1. 888 (0. 215), 3. 366 (0. 284) cm3, respectively (P <0. 05) ; the rates of tumor inhibited in the four groups were 92. 1% ,57.3 %, 36. 5 % and 0, respectively (P < 0. 05) ; pulmonary metastasis rates were 0, 10%, 20% and 90% ,respectively(P <0. 05) ;the mean (SD) of apoptosis rates of tumor ceils were 31.6% (2. 7%) ,28. 1%(2. 7%), 19. 4% (2. 9%), 15.7% (3.2%), respectively (P < 0. 05). The mean of absorbance of VEGF in the four groups were 0. 530 ± 0. 164,0. 759 ± 0. 210,1. 063 ± 0. 295,1. 268 ±0. 145 (RT-PCR) and O. 260 ±0. 082,0. 348 ±0. 085,0. 461 ±0. 099,0. 556 ± 0. 113(Western blot) ,respectively(P < 0. 05). Conclusion YH-16 can inhibit MCF-7 breast cancer cell growth and distant metastasis in nude mice with little adverse reac-tion. YH-16 has synergistic effect combined with DDP.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. The pathological eatures of Alzheimer's disease are abnormal deposition of amyloid beta-peptides (Aβ), neurofibrillary tangles, cholinergic deficits, and loss of synaptic processes and dendritic spines. Senescence accelerated mouse prone 8 exhibits age-related deficits of learning and memory from an early age, tau protein phosphorylation, neurotransmitter changes, synaptic structure and function disorders, circadian rhythm disorders,as well as gene expression and many other characteristic changes, which are consistent with Alzheimer's disease pathological changes，and can be used as an ideal animal model for Alzheimer's disease prevention drugs development.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved small noncoding RNAs of-22 nucleotides that exist in a wide variety of organisms,including animals,plants and virus.Mature miRNAs are able to control gene expression at a post-transcriptional level,either by blocking mRNA translation or inducing their degradation.Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBX) is a 17000 protein that is implicated to play a crucial role in hepatocarcinogenesis.Recently,many studies have shown that HBX is associated with miRNA regulation,and is involved in regulating fundamental biological processes of tumor in cell proliferation,differentiation and apoptosis.

Obiective To discuss the diagnosis value, limitations and mutual complement of MRI and TDUI in the fetus. Methods, TDUI and MRI was performed in 24 cases pregnant women that suspected fetus congenital malformation by Ultrasound examination, the examination results were compared by MR1 and TDUI with the clinical results.Results The 9 cases congenital malformation of 24 cases pregnant women were found by MRI. The 9 cases were confirmed and 3 cases were more sufficient by MRI. The one case examined by MRI was normal other than Ultrasound examination. Conclusion MRI is superior to Ultrasound in diagnosing malformation of nervous system. The Ultrasound and the TDUI in particular is better in finding the surface malformation than MRI. In clinical application, MRI and Ultrasound must be connected to make up the limitation and have a definite diagnosis.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Modified Yiqi Chutan Recipe (MYCR) on blood flow perfusion in treating mid-late stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients by using multislice CT perfusion (CTP) , and to assess the relationship between each CTP parameter and the prognosis as well.

METHODSTotally 87 mid-late stage NSCLC patients were randomly assigned to the treatment group (44 cases, Shenyi Capsule + MYCR +chemotherapy) and the control group (43 cases, chemotherapy alone) in the ratio of 1:1. And 21 days consisted of 1 therapeutic course, 4 courses in total. All of them underwent CTP of primary tumor and routine thoracic CT examination (plain CT and enhancement CT) 3 times (before therapy, after 2 and 4 cycles). CT findings were analyzed for tumor size and perfusion parameters [blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), permeability surface (PS), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TP) before and after treatment, and relationship between perfusion parameters and prognosis was also assessed.

RESULTSIn 87 cases, 7 dropped out and 80 cases were available, 40 in the treatment group and 40 in the control group. (1) The relief rate was 47.5% (19/40) and the total stable rate was 77.5% (31/40) in the treatment group, and they were 40.0% (16/40) and 65.0% (26/40) in the control group, with no statistical difference between the two groups (χ² = 0.672, 1.227; P > 0.05). (2) Compared with before treatment group in the same group, BF and PS decreased, and MTT increased in the two groups after 2 and 4 courses (P < 0.05); BE and PS decreased, and MTT increased in the control group after 2 courses (P < 0.05). Compared with the control group after 4 courses, BE decreased more significantly in the treatment group (P < 0.05). (3) After 4 courses, all patients were assigned to the remission group (35 cases) and the non-remission group (45 cases) according to the RECIST standard. Compared with before treatment in the same group, BF, BF, and PS all decreased, and MTT increased in the remission group after treatment (all P < 0.05); BF increased in the non-remission group after treatment (P < 0.05). (4) All patients were assigned to the BE increase group (34 cases) and the BE decrease group (46 cases) according to changed BE values after treatment. Results showed the mean survival rate was 246 days in the BF increase group (the 1-year accumulative survival rate being 13.0%) and 387 days in the BE decrease group (the 1-year accumulative survival rate being 53.1%). The life span was prolonged and the 1-year accumulative survival rate was elevated in the BE increase group, with statistical difference as compared with the BE decrease group (χ² = 19.057, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSShenyi Capsule plus MYCR could reduce BE in mid-late stage NSCLC patients , improve vascular permeability, showing better synergistic effect with chemotherapy. CTP could not only reflect the change of tumor size, but also reflect vascular function of the tumor. Meanwhile, changes of CTP parameters were closely associated with prognosis. Patients with post-treatment decreased BE value had better prognosis and longer life span.

In addition to the common complications involving hepatic artery, hepatic vein and biliary tract, which have already been mentioned and discussed in the preceding parts of this article, there are some uncommon complications which have been reported in the medical literature as the case report or as the case- series analysis. This paper sums up these uncommon complications. Part of these uncommon complications can be treated with interventional therapy. It is very important for interventional radiologists to make a further understanding of the different etiology of these uncommon complications occurred after liver transplantation so as to get a comprehensive knowledge about the complications after liver transplantation.
