Objective To label human VEGF targeted bevacizumab (avastin) with 111In and to evaluate the application of 111 In?DTPA?avastin SPECT imaging for tumor diagnosis. Methods DTPA?avastin was prepared by coupling with a bifunctional chelating agent, and then labeled with 111 In to obtain 111 In?DTPA?avastin. The stability and molecular integrity of the labeled radiotracer were studied. Human hepatoma cell ( BEL7404) bearing nude mice tumor model was employed for tumor targeting evaluation. Gamma imaging was acquired after intravenous injection of 18.5 MBq probe. At the end of the observation, animals were sac?rificed for bio?distribution study. Results 111 In?DTPA?avastin tracer was synthesized and purified to a?chieve a radiochemical purity yield above 98% and specific activity up to 185 GBq/nmol. Its stability in 5%BSA was optimal, and the radiochemical purity after incubation for 96 h was over 90%. Gamma imaging re?sults showed that the tracer possessed definite tumor targeting property. Its biodistribution was consistent with that of normal in vivo antibody metabolism while possessing a good tumor?targeting property with a relatively high uptake of (3.8±0.8) %ID/g in tumor tissues 96 h after injection. Conclusions 111 In?DTPA?avastin tracer has good physicochemical properties, in vivo stability and good VEGF targeted binding. 111 In?DTPA?avastin has potential to be a new molecular probe for SPECT imaging.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of testicular masses associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH).Methods A 25-year-old man presented with bilateral testicular nodules.Physical examination revealed palpable multiple nodules in the bilateral testes and epididymides as well as enlarged and hard right testis with uneven surface.Biochemical examination showed testosterone(T) of 18.7 nmol/L,17?-(OH)P＞20.0 ng/ml,positive results of rapid ACTH stimulation test and dexametha- sone suppression test.B-ultrasound demonstrated diffuse testicular lesions with nodules in parts of the bilater- al testes.Bilateral testicular nodules were biopsied,and pathological diagnosis was interstitial cell hyperplasi- a.Positive staining for?-inhibin was observed immunohistochemically.The clinical characteristics of testicular masses associated with CAH were reviewed in combination with the literature.Results Based on medical history,imaging,laboratory and pathologic examinations,the patient was diagnosed with testicular masses as- sociated with CAH.He received oral cortisol at dose of 40 mg daily for 2 weeks,and then at dose of 30 mg daily as maintenance therapy.After treatment of 8 months,B-ultrasound showed complete regression of the testicular tumors.Follow-up of 24 months showed no recurrence of the tumor.Conclusions For patient with bilateral testicular masses,endocrinological evaluation and clinical history taking are indicated to exclude testicular interstitial cell hyperplasia associated with CAH.By oral steroid replacement therapy,hormone-sen- sitive testicular masses can regress.

Objective To observe the effect of leptin on proliferation and apoptosis of breast cancer MCF-7 cell line,and to explore the effect of leptin on occurrence and development of breast cancer.Method The MCF-7 cell line was treated with different concentration of leptin in vitro.Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay. Distribution of cell cycle was determined by flow cytomery, meanwhile the rates of apoptosis were estimated on the basis of Annexin V-FITC/PI apoptosis detection. Results When treated with different concentration of leptin for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h, they could significantly induce the proliferation of MCF-7 cells by MTT method.There was not interaction between concentration of leptin and time course (F=0.919,P=0.523).The main effect of concentration of leptin and time course was statistically significant (F=12.699,P=0.000;F=647.881, P=0.000). Compared 200 ng/ml and 400 ng/ml with the control group, we found the difference was statistically significant by multiple comparison (P=0.007,P=0.000,respectively).The difference was also statistically significant among time course by multiple comparison (P=0.000,respectively).By the flow cytometry analysis,it was found that the 100 ng/ml and 400 ng/ml leptin groups could change the distribution of cell cycle of MCF-7 cell line after 48 h. Compared with control group, the cell number decreased by 14.42 ％ in G0/G1 phase (F=10.464, P=0.044),but increased by 7.57 ％ and 22.19 ％ respectively in S phase (F=47.361,P=0.005).The difference was not statistically significant in G2/M phase (F=1.77, P=0.311).However, the effect of apoptosis inhibition was not obvious. Conclusions Leptin could stimulate the proliferation of MCF-7 cell line and change the distribution of cell cycle.But leptin could not inhibit apoptosis of MCF-7 cell line.It suggested that leptin may serve as a risk factor of breast cancer development.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided intestinal adhesion lysis, as a new non-surgical method, in treating incomplete adhesive small intestinal obstruction in order to improve the therapeutic results of adhesive intestinal obstruction. Methods A total of 93 patients with incomplete adhesive small intestinal obstruction were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into study group (n=49) and control group (n=44). Fluoroscopy-guided intestinal adhesion lysis together with restoration of inter-intestinal loop enterocele was carried out for the patients of the study group , while traditional conservative surgical therapy was employed for the patients of the control group. The study group was comparable with the control group in patients’ age, gender, medical history, disease course, X-ray findings, etc. Results Of the 49 cases in the study group, complete cure was obtained in 40 with a cure rate of 81.6%. The mean hospitalization day was 0.3 day, and the average operation time was 3.25 hours. Among the 44 patients in the control group, complete cure was obtained in 37 with a cure rate of 84.1%. The mean hospitalization day was 7.6 days, and the average therapeutic time was 183.26 hours. Conclusion For the treatment of incomplete adhesive small intestinal obstruction , the therapeutic efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided intestinal adhesion lysis together with restoration of inter-intestinal loop enterocele is better than that of traditional conservative surgical therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of naloxone on c-fos expression in hippocampus induced by repeated febrile seizures(FS).Methods Warm water induced rat FS model was developed in this study. Each rat was induced 7 febrile seizures with the interval of one day. Naloxone-treated rats and FS control rats received injection of naloxone(1 mg/kg,2 mg/kg) or saline once FS occurrence every 2 day respectively. All rats were sacrificed 24 hours after the last seizure. In hippocampus, c-fos expression distribution and semi-quantitative analysis was determined by immuhischemical staining measure and western-blotting respectively.Results Compared with FS control group, naloxone treatment could significantly relieve c-fos expression in hippocampus induced by repeated FS, mainly in dentate gyrus(DG) and CA3 region. The comparison between 1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg naloxone-treated group showed that 2 mg/kg naloxone could reduce c-fos positive expression more significantly.Conclusion Naloxone of proper dosage may significantly alleviate c-fos expression after repeated FS ,which further proved its antiepileptic function and also implied that endogenous opioid may be involved in the regulation of c-fos expression during seizure.

To report a boy with reflex seizures induced by micturition.He suffered from seizures during micturition for four yesrs.The clinical symptoms consisted of head backwards,limbs dithering,sometimes accompanying tumble.During the episodes of the seizure,his consciousness did not lose.Few seizures showed only eyes up-staring for several seconds.The livelong process of micturition was often interrupted by seizures for several times.When he finished or stoped micturition,the seizures did not occur again.His seizures could not be induced by free of micturition or other stimulative factors.The interictal EEGs showed that background asymmetry manifested as the lower amplitude and irregular rhythm in the left hemisphere,sharp or sharp and waves in right hemisphere,especially mid and back temporal.There also had sharp,spike,and spike and waves in many regions of double spheres in interictal EEGs.The other assistant check-ups were normal.while this disease was infrenquncy,it would be worthy to regard.

In the process of evolution, pathogenic Streptococcus pyogenes secretes an immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme IdeS which can specifically cleave the hinge region of immunoglobulin G in order to escape the immune response against the host. On the one hand, IdeS can be used for IgG fingerprinting as a tool enzyme combined with mass spectrometry technology. On the other hand, IdeS can be used to treat the antibody-responsive diseases produced by autoimmunity as a therapeutic protein. In this study, the backbone of plasmid pCold was used to construct two expression vectors of recombinant protein IdeS, which were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli Shuffle T7. After purification by affinity chromatography, the recombinant IdeS activity was detected and their activity differences between the two were compared. Among them, the yield of the recombinant IdeS containing the His6-tag at the N-terminus was 4 mg·L^-1, and the cleavage reaction with antibody IgG1 at 1∶200 (m/m) at 37 ℃ for 30 min could complete. However, the yield of the recombinant IdeS containing both the N-terminal His6 tag and the C-terminal silica affinity tag (silica bing peptide, SiBP) is 1.5 mg·L^-1, and the degradation reaction with antibody IgG1 at 1∶20 (m/m) at 37 ℃ for 30 min could reach the end. The C-terminal fusion peptide has a great influence on the yield and activity of IdeS, which is not conducive to subsequent application in drug development. Above all, the recombinant IdeS containing the His6-tag at the N-terminus expressed by this system has high activity and can fully meet the needs of antibody drug development and mapping analysis of IgG.

Objective To explore the changing regularity of nitric oxide synthase(nNOS) in recurrent febrile seizures (FS), and the influence of NOS/NO on brain damage induced by recurrent FS.Methods FS rats were induced in a bath of warm water.The ex-periments were divided into 2 groups. The contents of nNOS cDNA in the first group was measured by quantitative RT-PCR and the contents of nNOS protein was measured by Western blot.The mtensity , latency, duration and rectal temperature of the seizure in rats in the second group were recorded. Morphologic changes of hippocampal neurons were observed with HE stain.Results Alter recur-rent FS, the expression of nNOS mRNA in hippocampus was significantly inereased compared with those in control group and hyper-thermia group, associated with an increase of nNOS protein.With the increase of seizure number,thert were changes of seizure latency and gradually prolonged trend of the seizure duration. By using the inhibitor of NOS, the seizure latency was gradually prolonged and the prolonged trend of the seizure duration was significantly decreased than that in FS group.There was no significantly difference of seizure intensity and rectal temperature between 2 groups.After recurrent FS, histological changes of hippocampal neurons could be seen under light microscope.The inhibitor alleviated nearonal injury.Conclusions Recurrent FS can induce nNOS gent expression.The NOS/NO system may be involved in the development of brain damage induced recurrent FS.

Objective To explore the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on ?-aminobutyric acid B receptor (GABA_BR) subunits during recurrent febrile seizures (FS).Methods Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats aged 21 days were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (37.0 ℃ water,n=8), FS group (45.2 ℃ water,n=8), FS + SNP group (45.2 ℃ water,n=8), FS+L-NMMA group (45.2 ℃ water,n=8). FS rats were induced 10 times in a warm-water bath, once every 2 days. The plasma level of NO was detected by the spectrophotometer. The expressions of GABA_BR subunit mRNA and c-fos gene were examined by in situ hybridization. The expressions of GABA_BR subunit and Fos protein were observed by immunohistochemistry. Results The plasma level of NO increased in FS + SNP group while decreased in FS+L-NMMA group compared with that in FS group. The expressions of GABA_BR_2 were down-regulated in FS+SNP group, while GABA_BR_1 hardly changed compared with those in FS group. In FS+L-NMMA group, both the expression of GABA_BR_2 and GABA_BR_1 up regulated compared with those in FS group. The expressions of c-fos gene and Fos protein were significantly enhanced after recurrent FS. SNP elevated the expressions of c-fos gene and Fos protein, while L-NMMA down regulated the expressions of them.Conclusion NO may play a regulatory role through modulating GABA_BR function in the pathogenesis of recurrent FS.
