High levels of RNase,polysaccharides and polyphenol compounds make isolation of high quality RNA difficult. Thus it is presented an effective RNA extraction method based on the nuclease adsorbent macaloid,poly vinyl pyrrolidone,and high concentration of KAc and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether,which has successfully extracted high-quality RNA from many materials difficult to RNA isolation,such as RNase-rich rabbit liver,plant and microbial tissues rich in polysaccharides,lipids and polyphenol compounds. This method was found to be better than the ones in common use-Trizol and Guanidinium isothiocyanate,the yield of which was at least three time higher. Furtherly,small RNA was enriched from total RNA sample from rice seedling through by repeat deposit which deals with high concentration of LiCl,PEG8000 and NaCl. The small RNA gained was confirmed to be used for following molecular biological research by RT-PCR with the primers designed on osa-mir-156 sequence from rice miRNA.

Objective The incidence of complications after esophageal cancer surgery is relatively high.The purpose of this paper was to explore the feasibility of combined thoraco-laparoscopy surgical treatment for senile esophageal cancer(over 70 years old).Methods A total of 526 esophageal cancer cases were retrospectively analyzed in this study.The operative procedures was esophageal carcinoma resection surgery and thoracic and abdominal lymphadenectomy which were operated through video-assisted by thoracoscope and laparoscopic From January 2010 to June 2014 in the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University,divided into aged groups(≥70 years old,n =132) and non-aged group(< 70 years old,n =394).Statistical analysis was carried on the rate of two groups of preoperative risk factors(hypertension,diabetes,cardiac insufficiency,pulmonary insufficiency,cerebral infarction),surgical trauma and the number of lymph node dissection (laryngeal recurrent nerve injury,operation time,intraoperative blood loss),postoperative complications(cardiac complications,chylothorax,pulmonary complications,anastomotic fistula,poor healing of the incision,intrathoracic stomach atony),postoperative recovery and early postoperative mortality.Results Preoperative risk factors:the prevalence of the aged group with hypertension,cerebral infarction,cardiac insufficiency,and pulmonary insufficiency was significantly higher than the non-aged group (P < 0.05) but diabetes (P > 0.05).Surgical trauma and the number of lymph node dissection:no significant difference (P > 0.05).Postoperative complications:the aged group was higher in the incidence of pulmonary complications and cardiac complications than the other (P < 0.05) ; but the chylothorax,anastomotic fistula and poor healing of incision,intrathoracic stomach atony in the two groups seemed no significant difference(P > 0.05).Furthermore,pulmonary complications were highest in the all complications,significantly higher than the others in both groups.Postoperative recovery:significant difference existed in postoperative hospitalization days,the aged group was obviously longer than the non-age groups.Early postoperative mortality rates in the two groups had no significant difference.Conclusion The aged patiences had a higher prevalence in the preoperative risk factors and so was the cardiac complications as well as pulmonary complications among the postoperative complications.However the combined thoraco-laparoscopy in the surgical treatment of elderly patients with esophageal cancer is safe and feasible.

Objective To compare the changes in serum levels of high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)and uric acid(UA)before and after atorvastatin treatment for the patients with both essential hypertension and hypercholesterolemia,and to evaluate its effects on blood pressure and left ventricular remodeling.Methods One hundred and twenty-six hypertensive patients complicated with hypercholesterolemia were randomized into group A with amlodipine 10 mg/d(n = 65)and group B with amlodipine 10 mg/d plus atorvastatin 20 mg/d(n = 61),for three months continuously.Serum levels of total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),triglyeerides(TG),hs-CRP and UA,as well as blood pressure,were determined for both groups before and after treatment.Left ventricular posterior wall thickness(LPWT)and interventricular septum thickness(IVST)were measured by echocardiography and left ventricle mass index(LVMI)was calculated.Results Serum levels of TC,LDL-C,HDL-C,TG,hs-CRP and UA decreased significantly in gr6up B after three-month treatment with atorvastatin,while serum level of HDL-C increased significantly. And,systolic and diastolic blood pressure reduced in both groups,but significantly lower in group B than those in group A,after treatment(P

Objective To explore ability of the vpr gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 ( HIV-1 vpr) to induce cell G_2 arrest and apoptosis, and the influence when it mutated, the relationship between Vpr-induced G_2 arrest and apoptosis inductions. Methods Fourteen mutant vpr fragments selected from Chinese patients with HIV. Both eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1( + ) and PCR products purified, double-cut by Hind Ⅲ and BamH Ⅰ and the cut products legated and transformed into competent cells JM109. The 14 reconstructed plasmids electronically transfected into Jurkat-cells, and established cells with pcDNA3. 1-vpr , pcDNA3. 1-vpr-Fs and pcDNA3. 1 blank cells, and without pcDNA3. 1 cell. Cells were harvested after 24 h. mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR, the DNA content and percentage of apoptosis were monitored by flow cytometry. Results Transfected with 14 mutant HIV-1 Vpr protein, cells display different G_2 percentage and apoptosis ratio. HIV-1 vpr induce cell cycle G_2 arrest and apoptosis, wherase Vpr Fs with a C-terminal end truncation, vector pcDNA3.1( + ) and the blank cells can not. The G_2 percentage and apoptosis ratio reduced when transfected with vpr expressing mutating of 70V, 85P, 86G, 94G compared to the wild type. Subtype AE has a weaker potential to induce cell cycle G_2 arrest and apoptosis. Preliminary, we find that the higher G_2 percentage followed the higher ratio of apoptosis. Conclusion HIV-1 vpr can induce cell cycle G_2 arrest and apoptosis, wherase Vpr Fs with a C-terminal end truncation can not. We firstly found that mutated sites of 70V, 85P, 86G, 94G may reduce the ability of Vpr to induce cell cycle G_2 arrest and apoptosis, subtype AE of vpr in Chinese HIV-1 patients has a weaker potential to induce cell cycle G_2 arrest and apoptosis. Analysis of various mutations in the vpr gene revealed that the extent of Vpr-induced G_2 arrest correlated with the levels of apoptosis. And investigate the pathegenesis of HIV vpr. This can also make a good foundation for further study on gene therapy.
