OBJECTIVE:To study the interaction of cefprozil (CE) with bovine serum albumine (BSA). METHODS:Under the temperatures of 289,299 and 309 K,the interaction of CE with BSA for 50 min had been studied by fluorescence quenching, UV spectrometry and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. Quenching constant(KSV)and speed constant(Kq)were calculated by Stern-Volmer equation. Static quenching constant(KLB)was obtained by Lineweaver-Burk equation,and UV spectrogram was used to determine the type of quenching. Double logarithmic equation was used to calculate the binding constants (Kb) and the number of binding site(n). Thermodynamic equation was used to obtain ΔH,ΔS,ΔG. Hill's coefficients(nH)was obtained by Hill equa-tion. RESULTS:At three different temperatures,with CE concentration increasing,fluorescence intensity of BSA decreased regular-ly. The value of KSV,Kq,KLB,Kb and n and nH decreased with the temperature increasing. ΔH,ΔS and ΔG were lower than 0. The numbers of binding sites were approximately equal to 1 and nH<1. CONCLUSIONS:CE statically quench the fluorescence of BSA,and the binding of them have been found to certain extent. The process of binding is spontaneous exothermic process. The main binding forces include Hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces,and primary binding site for CE is located at sub-domain ⅡA of BSA. There was some negative cooperative effect. CE would not affect the conformation of BSA. The binding site of CE and BSA is near by tyrosine residue.

Objective To explore the signification and method of Cut-off verification and gray zone setting in chemiluminescent assay.Methods NCCLS EP-12 A2 document defines that C50 is the analyte concentration of cut off value for immunology qualitative test and C5-C95 interval is the range of analyte concentration that yields 5％ positive results to 95％ positive results for immunology qualitativc test.The C50 and C5-C95 interval of HBeAg in ARCHITECT i2000 were worked out according to the cut off value provided by HBeAg reagent calibrated in ARCHITECT i2000,which were verified to approve the character declaimed by manufactory or not.Gray zone was set and the procedure of cut off verification and gray zone set in chemiluminescent were built; A set of quality control was detected 20 times with two different lot HBeAg reagent kits,S/CO was caculated and compared with t test.Results C50 and C5-C95 interval of reagent (lot 06087L100,96378HN00) were 0.171 PEI U/ml,0.125 PEI U/ml; ＞0.154 PEI U/ml to 0.188 PEI U/ml,0.119 PEI U/ml to ＜0.150 PEI U/ml,respectively.S/CO of negative quality control and positive quality control were (0.550 ±0.038),(2.422 ±0.084) and(0.334 ±0.063),(3.587 ±0.321),respectively.They all approved the character (the sensitivity at cut off was less than 0.5 PEI U/ml)declaimed by manufactory,and the results of S/CO between two lot kits were obvious difference (t =9.944,15.499,P ＜0.01).Conclusion C50 and C5-95 interval can be used to verify cut off value and set gray zone in chemiluminescent assay;They may vary in different lot reagents and they must be verified to approve the character declaimed by manufactory.

Obiective To explore the interaction of cefonicid sodium(CS) with bovine serum albumin(BSA) by fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy. Methods The rate constant(Kq), quenching constant(Ksv), static fluo-rescence quenching association constant(KLB),binding site number(n) and binding constant(Kb) were calculated using Stern-Volmer, Lineweaver-Burk and double logarithm equations. Results CS was able to bind to BSA. The probable quenching mechanism of BSA by CS was mainly static quenching due to the formation of a CS-BSA com-plex. The results of thermodynamic parameters indicated that electrostatic force plays the main role in the binding process and the binding process was spontaneous. There was a single class of binding site for the BSA with CS. The primary binding site for CS was located at sub-domainⅡA of BSA and near by tyrosine residue. There was almost some negative cooperative effect. The results obtained from synchronous fluorescence showed that CS could change the microenvironment of Tyrand Trp residues of BSA. Conclusion The interaction between CS and BSA is dynam-ic. There is a single class of binding site for the BSA with CS. The obtained results provide references for its clini-cal application.

Background:Inflammation plays an important role in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI),and erythropoietin (EPO)has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity. Aims:To explore the protective effect of EPO on intestinal IRI and its potential mechanism. Methods:Thirty-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group(sham group),IRI group,EPO group and 740Y-P group. Rats in IRI,EPO and 740Y-P groups were injected intraperitoneally with 0. 9% NaCl,EPO and EPO + 740Y-P,respectively,one hour before the establishment of intestinal IRI model by superior mesenteric artery clamping(45 min)-reperfusion. All rats were sacrificed one hour after reperfusion. Histopathological changes of small intestine were observed;expression of proteins in PI3K/ Akt and NF-κB signaling pathways was measured by Western blotting;expression and secretion of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-8(IL-8),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)were examined by real-time PCR and ELISA. Results:Compared with sham group,the damage score of small intestine,protein expressions of PI3K,p-Akt and p-NF-κB p65,as well as mRNA expressions and serum levels of IL-8,TNF-α and MCP-1 in IRI group were significantly increased(P < 0. 05). EPO pretreatment could ameliorate the histopathological changes of small intestine in IRI model rats,inhibit PI3K/ Akt and NF-κB signaling activation and down-regulate expression and secretion of inflammatory cytokines. When 740Y-P,a PI3K agonist,was used combinedly,the effect exerted by EPO was diminished. Conclusions:EPO pretreatment can protect against intestinal IRI by inhibiting the activation of PI3K/ Akt/NF-κB signaling and the subsequent inflammatory response.

Objective To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia ( MH ) on the expression of my- eloperoxidase(MPO) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX 2) in rats after cerebral ischemia and reperfusion (CIR). Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomly divided into four control groups (n=6 in each) and four MH groups (n=6 in each).CIR models were established by suture occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery.The rats in the MH groups,but not in the control groups,were treated with MH.Rats were killed at 4 h,8 h,12 h and 16 h after CIR.MPO expression was measured,along with the expression of COX 2 as measured by Western blot- ting and immunohistochemical methods.Results Compared with the control groups,MPO activity and the COX 2 expression in the cortex and striatum were significantly lower in all the MH groups at 4 h,8 h,12 h and 16 h after CIR.Conclusion MH treatment can protect neurons by decreasing MPO activity and COX 2 expression,allevia- ting inflammation and reducing secondary injuries after CIR.

Objective To evaluate the migrating regulation and ultrastructure of the corneal epithelial stem cells in human fetuses. Methods We examined the corneal cryosections of 14-38 weeks of gestation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the stratified corneal epithelium and the corneal epithelial stem cells were localized by mouse monocolonal antibody against human 64-kilodalton keratin (mAE5), and the ultrastructure of the corneal epithelial stem cells was observed. Results At 14 weeks of gestation, the corneal epithelium was composed of a single basal cells layer and 1-2 superficial squamous cells layers. Some superficial squamous cells were mAE5 positive in the limbus as well as the central and peripheral cornea. At 17-29 weeks of gestation, the limbus epithelium developed from 3 to 5 cells layers and the central region from 2 to 3 cells layers. mAE5 positive cells were found in the suprabasal layers of all 3 regions examined but not in the basal layer. At 33-38 weeks of gestation, the corneal epithelium consisting of 4-6 cells layers was morphologically mature. mAE5 immunoreaction showed the negative cells were confined to limbus basal layer. The ultrastructure of basal layer cells showed they had more heterochromatin in the nucleus, less organells in the cytoplasm and less desmosomes among them. Conclusion The migration of corneal epithelial stem cells in the human fetuses was from the whole layers to basal layer and confined to limbus region finally, and their ultrastructure was immature.
