Objective To determine the changes in phosphorylation of conventional protein kinase C?(cPKC?)-interacting extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2(ERK1/2) in the hippocampus of hypoxic preconditioned(HPC) mice.Methods Healthy male BalB/c mice were used to develop "auto-hypoxia"-induced HPC mice and randomly divided into 3 groups as follows: normoxic control(H0),early(H3) and delayed hypoxic preconditioned groups(H6).Co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot were applied to quantitatively analyze the phosphorylation level of cPKC?-interacting ERK1/2 in cytosolic and particulate fractions of hippocampus of HPC mice.ResultsERK1/2 was co-immunoprecipitated by cPKC? in hippocampus of mice.The phosphorylation level of cPKC? interacting ERK1/2 at tyrosine 204 decreased significantly in the hippocampus of H3 and H6 groups as compared with that of the H0 group(P

Objective To construct and screen the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) negative regulation factor (Nef) peptide-specific CD4+ T lymphocyte clone.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from five asymptomatic HIV-1 infected patients were collected and Bulkcultured with Nef end peptides.The CD4 molecule and intracellular interferon (IFN)-gamma of cultured cells were detected by two-color flow cytometry.The Nef end peptide-specific T cell clone was then constructed by limited dilution and confirmed through enzyme linked immunospot assay (ELISPOT).The best grown cells were selected and cultured as the final clone.Results The Nef end peptide-specific-T lymphocyte clone was successfully constructed from PBMC of one HIV-infected patient and confirmed by ELISPOT.The detection of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 type showed that the epitope of this peptide was probably HLA-DRB1 * 0406.Conclusion The Nef end specific-T cell clone is successfully constructed,and a new epitope in the C-terminus of Nef protein and its HLA restriction are identified.

The possibility of polyoxymethylene (POM) as heart valve leaflet material was investigated by comparing the hemocompatibility with that of 316L stainless steel and low-temperature isotropic pyrolytic carbon (LTIC). Surface hydrophobicity was characterized by water contact angle measurement. Platelet adhesion, APTT/PT/TT and hemolysis rate tests were applied for evaluating hemocompatibility. The results showed that POM was hydrophobic and had a low hemolytic rate, adhesion amount and activation degree of platelets on POM surface were less than 316L stainless steel, and was similar to LTIC. This research pointed out potential application of POM as heart valve leaflets.

Objective To study the effects of endothelin (ET) and Xuesaitong injection on hepatic, renal and myocardial tissues after bile duct ligation (BDL) in rabbits. Methods Seventy-two rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: BDL group (24 rabbits), BDL+Xuesaitong injection group (24 rabbits), and sham operation group (24 rabbits). Each group was subdivided into four subgroups of postoperative 3, 6, 9 and 12 d (6 rabbits in each subgroup). Automatic biochemical analysis equipment was used to detect the levels of serum TBIL, ALT, BUN and Crea. The levels of ET in plasma, hepatic, renal and myocardial tissues were measured with radioimmunological method. Results The levels of ET in plasma, hepatic, renal and myocardial tissues in both BDL group and BDL+Xuesaitong injection group were higher than those of sham operation group (P

Objective To observe the curative effect of low melocular weight heparin(LMWH) on the hypercoagulability in acute Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods Forty-six patients were diagnosed KD.Twenty-two cases out of all KD patients whose serum concentration of whether platelet(PLT) or fibrinogen(FIB) was significantly increased or who were found thrombus in their coronary artery by ultrasonic Doppler were treated with LMWH by subcutaneous injection once every day for 7-10 days.All the patients were divided into 2 groups accor-ding to whether using LMWH or not:H group(using LMWH) and NH group(no using LMWH).It were detected before and after treatment that included thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),international normalized ratio(INR),FIB,plasma mucosity,erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),hematocrit(HCT) and situation of haemorrhage.Results 1.Before treatment,PLT and FIB of patients in H group were significantly higher than those in NH group(Pa

OBJECTIVETo study the characteristics of EV71 JN200804 strain infection in one-day old BALBI c mjce and to establish a animal model of EV71 infection , and to provide information and technical support for the evaluation of the EV71 vaccine and antiviral medicine.

METHODSOne-day old BALBic mice were infected with EV71 JN200804 strain through oral( PO) ,intracranial(IC) ,intraperitoneal (IP), intramuscular (IM) routes, respectively. All mice were sacrificed at paralysis of hind limbs and collected organs for viral isolation, RT -PCR and pathological examination, and the electrophysiology were detected before sacrifice.

RESULTSAll mice infected through IC, IP and IM routes were paralyzed in hind limbs at 4-5 days and died at 7 days about, the hypokinesia and lethargy of mice were observed through PO routes. The viruses could be isolated and detected in the muscle from mice infected through IC, IP and IM routes and in the spinal cord through IC routes by viral isolation and RT-PCR. The neurogenic and myogenic disorders were detected by electromyography. Histopathologically, the varied pathologic changes were observed in the mouse cerebellum , spinal cord , muscle , heart, lung, liver and kidney.

CONCLUSIONEV71 JN200804 strain can infect one-day old BALBI c mice and induce paralysis of hind limbs, its animal infection model may apply to study of EV71 infection pathogenesis and antiviral medicine, and evaluation of the EV71 vaccine.

The key words, social network and author cooperation network in papers ( published in 2003-2014 ) on reform in domestic public hospitals were analyzed using Ucinet and CiteSpace visual softwares with CNKI as the data source.The current situation in reform in domestic public hospitals was revealed by mining its research hotspots, progress and author cooperation .Some suggestions were put forward for strengthening the reform in domestic public hospitals .

Objective To confirm the diagnosis and to localize the pathogenic gene of ectodermal dysplasia in a family SUffering from only hair and nail abnormalities.MethodsBlood samples were collected from 7 affected patients and 15 unafiected individuals in the family.Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples by routine phenol-chloroform methods.The whole coding regions of candidate genes K16,K17,K6a,K6b and GJB6 were amplified by PCR followed by direct sequencing.Then,the gene mutation was further confirmed at mRNA level by RT-PCR.ResultsA heterozygous missense mutation 3 1G→A in the GJB6 gene.which leads to the substitution of glycine by arginine at codon 11(G11R)on the N-terminal of the protein,was detected in all the patients.but in none of the 15 normal individuals in this family.The mutation was also confirmed in the CDNA originating from the proband's skin biopsy.Conelusionn A missense mutation G31A.which has been shown previously to cause hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia(HED),is localized in the GJB6 gene of patients in this family.
