Objective To compare the transfection efficiency of galactosylated chitosan nanoparticle vehicle with chitosan nanoparticles vehicle,and observe the therapeutic effect of pGL3-hTERTp-TK on HCC cell line HepG2. Methods Preparing the chitosan and galaetosylated chitosan. Constructing the pGL3-hTERTp-TK plasmid and the Ch/DNA and GC/DNA complexes.Transfecting the HepG2 and the normal hepatic cell L-02 with chitosan/DNA and galactosylated chitosan/DNA complexs.Detecting the fluorescence and the expression of luciferase gene using the fluorescent microscope and the scintillation counter.Detecting the cell growth and apoptosis through the Caspase-3 and the flow cytometry. Results Two clear straps appeared in the agarose gel.The locations were 300 bp and 1100 bp.The relative lueiferase activity of pGL3-hTERTp-Luc+mediated by galactosylated chitosan was powerful than which of pGL3-hTERTp-Luc+mediated by chitosan in HepG2 by the scintillation counter.However,the relative luciferase activity was very weak in L-02.The same results were observed by fluorescent microscope.When the concertration of the GCV was 10 μg/ml(t=51.40,P=0.000),the HepG2 cell inhibition which was transfected by GC-pGL3-hTERTp-TK was obviously different from the L-02 cell inhibition which was transfected by GC-pGL3-hTERTp-TK in the statistics.The significant apoptotic rate was 65.28%in HepG2 which was transfected with GC/DNA,whereas it was only 10.80% in L-02. The significant apoptotic rate in HepG2 which was transfected with GC/DNA was very higher than the other groups (LSD, P <0.05). The significant apoptotic rate (10.80%) in L-02 which was transfected with GC/DNA was very higher than the group which was Ch-pGL3-control (LSD, P =0.000). The average fluorescence intensity of the HepG2 which is transfected by the Ch-pGL3-hTERTp-TK was 168.02± 3.68. The average fluorescence intensity of the HepG2 which is transfected by the GC-pGL3-hTERTp-TK was 204.45 ±3.45. The two groups had a significant difference in the statistics (t=-12.504, P<0.05). Conclusion Galactosylated chitosan has higher transfection efficiency than chitosan. GC-pGL3-hTERTp-TK could specially attack HCC cell line and almost has no influence on normal hepatic cells.

Objective To evaluate the changes parameters of polysomnographic ( PSG) with different subtypes of primary Parkinson's disease ( PD ) and analyze the clinical characteristics of sleep disorders in PD patients. Methods Ninety patients with primary PD [ tremor-predominant PD group ( n = 40 ) , postural instability gait disorder ( PIGD )-predominant PD group ( n = 50 ) ] and 50 healthy controls were detected by full night PSG monitoring. And the results were compared. Results Compared with tremor-predominant PD group, the total sleep time, bed time, sleep wake-up times, sleep efficiency and rapid eye movement ( REM ) sleep time of PIGD-predominant PD group were significantly lower (all P<0. 05), however, the sleep latency, S1 (min), S1 (%), S2 (min), S2 (%), S3+S4(min), S3+S4 (%) had no statistical significance (all P>0. 05). Compared with the controls, the total sleep time and bed time of tremor-predominant PD group were significantly lower (all P<0. 05), however, the sleep wake-up times, sleep efficiency, REM sleep time, sleep latency, S1 ( min ) , S1 (%) , S2 (min), S2 (%), S3 + S4 (min), S3 + S4 (%) had no statistical significance (all P>0. 05). Combined with video surveillance video observation,the abnormality of REM sleep behavior disorder ( RBD) was 70% with PIGD-predominant PD group, in which the abnormality of tremor-predominant PD group was 2. 5%. Conclusions The PIGD-predominant PD patients are more likely to appear sleep disorders and RBD than tremor-predominant PD patients. It may be related to clinical heterogeneity of different PD subtypes.

Objectives To study the clinical characteristics and early diagnosis of infant with both alpha 1 antitrypin deficiency (α1-ATD) and biliary atresia (BA). Methods The clinical characteristics, serum biochemical parameters, gene mutations and treatment of one infant with both α1-ATD and BA was reported. Related literatures about liver disease caused by α1-ATD were reviewed and analyzed. Results The infant was characterised with neonatal cholestasis, hepatomegaly, elevated serum ALT, AST, total bilirubin (TB), direct bilirubin (DB) and γ-glutamyltransferase (γ-GT) and absence of bile secretion from the duodenal drainage tube. BA was conifrmed by laparotomy and pathological examination and Kasai′s operation was performed. Further, the infant was confirmed by SERPINA 1 gene mutation analysis, which leads to the diagnosis of α1-ATD. The case of infant with both alpha 1 ATD and BA has not yet been reported at home and abroad. According to the literatures, children with α1-ATD were characterized with cholestasis, hepatomegaly, hypoproteinemia, high serum ALT and AST, coagulation disorders caused by vitamin K 1 deifciency and hepatic dysfunction. Prognosis was poor without early diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions For infant cholestasis, a lot of auxiliary examinations should be performed to identify the etiology of cholestasis. Gene analysis could help differential diagnosis. Prompt diagnosis and early treatment are the key to improve the survival rate and prognosis.

Objective To observe the effect of dexamethasone on the levels of IL-12 and IL-13 in bronchoaveolar la-vage fluid (BALF) and serum in rats with Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) infection. To explore the mechanism of treatment MP pneumonia by dexamethasone. Methods A total of one hundred rats were randomly divided into four groups:azithromycin in-tervened group (n=25); dexamethasone intervened group (n=25); azithromycin and dexamethasone combination intervened group (n=25);control group (n=25). The rat model of MP pneumonia was established by dropping pneumonia bacterial liquid to its nasal cavity on day 0, 1, 2, and 3. Four groups received different interventions at the second day when the model was estab-lished successfully. Amounts of IL-12 and IL-13 in BALF and serum were measured by ELISA, the inflammatory infiltration of lung tissues was evaluated on day 3, 5 and 8. Results Compared with the control group, the expression of IL-12 and IL-13 in se-rum and BALF in azithromycin intervened group and combination intervened group had a significant difference (P<0.05) on day 3, 5 and 8. Amount of IL-12 in serum in combination intervened group was higher than azithromycin intervened group on day 3, whereas IL-13 was lower than that in azithromycin intervened group (P<0.05). Conclusions Dexamethasone can relieve inflammatory infiltration of lung tissues in rats.

Usually, the frequency of heartbeat can be used to discriminate different kinds of arrhythmia from a normal cardiac rhythm, but the result is not satisfying. This paper presents a method that can differ ventricular fibrillation (VF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT) from a normal sinus rhythm (NSR). VT and VF are fatal arrhythmia for patients, but timely electroshock is a good remedy for them. The method above can be integrated into the monitor system or telemedicine to diagnose patients and then treat them properly. With auto regressive (AR) model applied to modeling, Itakura and Euclidian distance measurements are used to classify data. With this method, VF and VT conditions are detected with error less than 10%.
