0bjective To establish a standard curve method with more accuracy employed in fluorescence real-time PCR(RT-PCR)as a alternation of the general method.Methods β-actin and KLK11 plasmid DNA for quantitative standard curve were constructed in our study,and Plasmids of β-actin was employed as a internal control.After serial dilution these plasmid were used as DNA standard to obtained slope.Expression of these two genes in malignant prostate cancer cell line LNCAP were tested by real-time PCR,and we analyzed the RT-PCR results with two different methods and compared their accuracy.Results Thestandards curves made from these linear DNA standards showed good linearity (R2=0.991 and 0.992 for β-actin and KLK11 standards graphs),but also displayed a discrepancy in their PCR efficiency(β-actin 123% and KLK11 99%).There were different results after two different stand curve analytical method:the expression of KLK11 mRNA in LNCAP was downregulated in general standard curve method.In the new analytical method,howerer,KLK11 upregnlated for 4.46-fold.And there was a significant difference between aplification efficiency of targt gene and internal control gene(t=4.829,P<0.05).Conclusions Compared with general standard curve method,the new advanced standard curve method described here avoids an error which considers there is identical amplification efficiency between target gene and internal reference gene.It is considered to be a more correct analytical method in fluorescence real-time PCR.

Objective To investigate the change of eNOS,the spermatogenic cell proliferation,apoptosis in mouse testis exerted by alcohol. Methods The immunohistochemical staining method for detecting of eNOS,PCNA,TUNEL method for detecting of apoptotic cells and the satistics analysis were used in the present study. Results With the increase of alcohol concentration,the structure of seminiferous tubule changed,the diameter of seminiferous tubule decreased,the surface density of postive eNOS cells increased gradually,and the number of positve PCNA cells and apoptosis cells also increased.There were significant difference in 15% alcohol concentration group compared with the other groups(P

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of electro-acupuncture to improve the bladder function after acute spinal cord injury in rats and its possible mechanism.

METHODSSixty healthy adult male SD rats of SPF grade, with body weight of 220 to 250 g, one week after feeding adaptation, were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, electro-acupuncture group, electro-acupuncture control group with 15 rats in each group. Sham operation group underwent no stimulation, and the moderate damage model of spinal cord injury were made in other three groups according to modified Allens method. The model group were not treated, electro-acupuncture group were treated with electro-acupuncture on Zhibianxue and Shuidaoxue, and electro-acupuncture control group were treated with electro-acupuncture on 0.5 inch next to Zhibianxue and Shuidaoxue. The frequency of 2/100 Hz, current of 1 mA, stimulation time of 15 min, once a day, left and right alternately stimulate every time, for a total of 7 times. The changes of residual urine volume and urine output in rats at the 1st and the 7th days after operation were observed. And 7 d later, the rats were sacrificed and the injured spinal cord were taken out to observe the apoptosis, and to detect the changes of Bcl-2, Bax, Bad content.

RESULTSAfter modeling,the rats of three groups showed different bladder dysfunction. In electro-acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group, the residual urine volume of the 7th day after operation was significant lower than the 1st day after operation (P < 0.001), and there was statistically significant difference on the 7th day after operation between two groups (P < 0.001). Compared with model group, the urine output of electro-acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group was significantly increased on the 7th day after operation, and there was sig- nificant difference between electro-acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group (P < 0.001). Electro-acupuncture can inhibit apoptosis of spinal cord neurons by TUNEL detection. Postoperative at 7 d, the rate of nerve cell apoptosis in electro -acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group was significant increased than model group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and there was significant difference between electro-acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group (P < 0.005). Compared with model group, the positive expression rate of Bax, Bad decreased (P < 0.01, P < 0.05), and Bcl-2 increased (P < 0.01) in electro-acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group,there was significant difference between electro-acupuncture group and electro-acupuncture control group (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONElectro-acupuncture can obviously promote the repair of acute spinal cord injury,its mechanism may be through increasing Bcl-2, inhibiting the expression of Bax, Bad, which inhibits the apoptosis of spinal cord neurons.

OBJECTIVETo research on the reliability of diagnosing achondroplasia (ACH) on single cell level and to provide a basis for preimplantation genetic diagnosis(PGD).

METHODSThe high-frequency mutation region G380R of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3(FGFR3) gene was amplified by nested-PCR with single lymphocyte and single blastomere. The products of PCR were digested by restriction enzyme Bfm I, then the digested products were detected by 10% polyacrylamida gel electrophoresis(PAGE).

RESULTSThe amplification success rate, allele dropout rate and correct diagnosis rate of single lymphocyte's PCR were 90.4%, 8.2% and 91.8%,respectively. The amplification success rate of single blastomere was 75.4%.

CONCLUSIONThe diagnosis of ACH by single cell nested-PCR is comparatively stable and reliable.

OBJECTIVETo find an ideal reconstruction method after total gastrectomy.

METHODSWith 12 healthy persons as control, a total of 120 gastric cancer patients received their digestive tract reconstruction after total gastrectomy were randomized into Roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy group (A), P pouch with Roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy group (B), Hunt-Lawrence esophagojejunostomy group (C), and jejunal interposition esophagojejunostomy group (D). After operation, quality of life, prognosis nutrition index (PNI), body weight, serum nutritional parameters, gastrointestinal hormone level and immunological state were evaluated.

RESULTSThe quality of life, PNI, body weight and serum nutritional parameters (SI, TS and Hb) were better in group D than those in groups A, B and C (P < 0.05). The cholecystokinin (CCK) level and NK cell, CD(4)(+) cell, CD(8)(+) cell and CD(4)/CD(8) ratio in group D, being similar to the control group, were significantly higher than groups A, B and C (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONModified jejunal interposition esophagojejunostomy is a reasonable reconstruction method. The construction of "P" pouch, reserving foods as the stomach, can preserve the duodenal passage and secretion of the gastrointestinal hormones, which results in better digestion of the food and absorption of the nutrients. This method simplifies the operation and guarantee the blood supply of interpositioned jejunum without causing ischemia at the anastomotic orifice.

OBJECTIVETo establish fluorescent quantitative PCR method for detecting human herpes virus type 6 (HHV6).

METHODSAccording to the specific sequence of human herpes virus type 6 genes, the primers and the fluorescent probe (TaqMan) were designed and synthesized. The fragment generated from HHV 6 gene as template was cloned into the pMD18-T vector which was constructed from the pUC 18. And the positive recombinant plasmid was 1:10 diluted and used as standard quantitative template to make the standard curve for sample detection.

RESULTSThe standard curve indicated the linear relationship between Ct (cycle threshold) and template concentration. The clinical samples from 135 cases were detected by this system, 16 cases among 135 were positive.

CONCLUSIONThe fluorescent quantitative PCR method for the detection of human herpes virus type 6 is simple and accurate, and this method may be helpful to clinical diagnosis.
