Objective:To prepare and identify the monoclonal antibody against hPPAR?2.Methods:cDNA of hPPAR?2 was obtained from pMD18-T/hPPAR?2.hPPAR?2 was expressed in prokaryocyte and purified successfully.The anti-hPPAR?2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) 1B4,3H2,3H10,10D6 and 10D8 were produced by immunization with purified hPPAR?2.The specificity of the antibodies was identified by ELISA,Western blot assay and immunocytochemistry.Results:Five novel murine monoclonal antibodies only against hPPAR?2 were harvested,and they were all specific to hPPAR?2.Conclusion:The antibodies obtained provide more useful tools for following research and settling the basis for screening new drugs and mechanism.

Objective To investigate the negative effect of cigaratte smoking on periodontal theraphy. Mothods 84 patients with periodontopathy were selected and divided into two groups. The smoking group (group A) included 33 patients and the non-smoking group (group B) included 51 patients. All the patients received a systematic treatment. The effects of the treatment between different groups were compared through the debris index(DI),calculus index(CI),periodotal disease index(PDI) which were respectively recorded before and after treatment.Results After the treatment the DI,CI,PDI of two groups were all decreased; wheras compared with group A, every index of group B was significantly lower. Conclusions Somking seriously influences the effect of periodontal therapy. Therefore, to give up smoking is very important for preventing and treating periodontopathy.

Through the research and practice of computer basic course at medical colleges, the paper summarizes the experience of using modern technical means, to reform the traditional teaching ideas, teaching methods, teaching means and teaching management, to diversify teaching resources sharing. It also analyzes the shortcomings and makes recommendations to further strengthen the course development.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations and the deletion mutation in NEMO gene in incontinentia pigmenti. Methods The clinical manifestations of one neonatal infant were analyzed. By long PCR ampliifcation, the deletion mutations in NEMO gene and pseudogene ΔNEMO were detected. Results The clinical manifestations were typical skin lesions. Histopathological examination showed focal edema sponge and gathered or scattered eosinophilic granulocytes. The deletion of exons 4-10 in both NEMO andΔNEMO genes were detected in the patient. Conclusions Incontinentia pigmenti is a rare X chromosome linked dominant genetic disease. It has typical clinical manifestations and pathological changes, and deletion mutation in NEMO gene.

ObjectiveTo evaluate prognostic factors affecting local tumor progression after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).MethodsA total of 246 HCC patients (343 lesions) underwent RFA treatment in our department and were enrolled into this study.The average tumor size was 3.7 cm ( range 0.9 ～ 3.7 cm).Regular follow-up with enhanced CT was performed to evalutate the treatment results.Kaplan-Meier model and log-rank test were used in univariate analysis and COX regression model was used in multivariate analysis to identify risk factors for local tumor progression.ResultsThe local tumor progression rate was 11.4％ (39/343 lesions),and the average time from initial RFA to local tumor progression was 12.0 months.Univariate analysis indicated tumor size ( P ＜0.001 ),close to intrahepatic vessels ( P ＜0.001),tumor boundary ( P =0.020),pathological grade( P =0.010) and CEUS before RFA ( P =0.001) as risk factors for local progression.The following factors were identified as independent prognostic factors for local tumor progression by multivariate model:tumor size (P ＜ 0.001),isolated or close to intrahepatic vessels( P ＜0.001) and CEUS before RFA(P =0.018).ConclusionsTumor size,CEUS before RFA and close to intrahepatic vessels are the most important factors for local progression after RFA.Being awaring of possible risk factors for local tumor progression may increase the treatment efficacy and help to promote the use of RFA technique.

Objective To study the reactive oxygen level and the expression of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 and pro-apoptotic protein Bax after treatment of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-2'-dc) and paraquat in V79 cells.Methods Cultured V79 cells were divided into 5-Aza-2'-dc treatment group (group A),paraquat treatment group (group B),5-Aza-2'-dc and paraquat treatment group (group C,V79 cells were pretreated with 5-Aza-2'-dc for 12h followed by exposure to paraquat for 12h) and control group (group D).Reactive oxygen level in V79 cells was measured by DCFH-DA flow cytometry and expression of Bcl-2 and Bax was detected by Western blot.Results Reactive oxygen levels and expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax in V79 cells were significantly different (P＜0.05) in 5-Aza-2'-dc and paraquat treatment group (group C),compared with 5-Aza-2'-dc treatment group (group A),paraquat treatment group (group B) and control group (group D).Expression levels of Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2 and Bax were lower while reactive oxygen levels and expression levels of Bax were higher in group C than in groups A,B and D.Conclusion 5-Aza-2'-dc regulates DNA methylation by the imbalancing the reactive oxygen metabolism and apoptosis,thus up-regulating the toxic effect of paraquat on V79 cells.

Objective To determine the content of taurine in Mactra veneriformis by pre-column derivation HPLC.Methods Ultrasound method was used for the extraction of taurine from Mactra veneriformis.In alkaline condition,amino acids reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate and resulted in the derivatives of benzene isothiocyanate-amino acid complex.Kromasil C18 column(4.6 mm ?250 mm,5 ?m) was used and the absorbance at 254 nm was measured.The mobile phase consisted of sodium acetate solution,water and methanol.Results Corresponding chromatographic peaks of taurine were obtained in extract sample and the control.The linear range of taurine was from 10.04 ?g?mL-1 to 50.20 ?g?mL-1,and the recovery was 97.95 %(RSD=1.41%,n=9).Conclusion This method is simple,accurate and reproducible.The seasonal variation range of taurine level is from 10.56 mg/g to 20.91 mg/g,and the taurine level arrived to the peak in June.
