ABSTRACT
In order to verify whether p-nitrophenylalanine-containing BAFF vaccine can be used as a candidate molecule for the treatment of autoimmune diseases with BAFF over-expression,a soluble mutant of B cell activating factor belonging to the TNF Family (smBAFF) and its pNO2Phe mutant(pNO2Phe65smBAFF),which site specific incorporated pNO2Phe at position 65 of smBAFF,were expressed and purified.In order to evaluate the feasibility of using pNO2Phe65 smBAFF to treat BAFF-over-expressed autoimmune diseases,we investigate its Lymphocyte-stimulating capacity,immunogenicity and inhibitory effect of serum on biological activity of natural BAFF.The pharmacological activity of pNO2Phe65 smBAFF was evaluated using a cGVHD(graft-versus-host disease) induced SLE mouse model.Results indicated that pNO2Phe65 smBAFF,could bind to mouse lymphocytes but could not promote the proliferation of mouse lymphocytes.Moreover,the incorporation of pNO2Phe significantly increased the immunogenicity and induced cross-antibody,which can inhibit the biological activity of natural BAFF.In cGVHD induced SLE mouse model,pNO2Phe65 smBAFF can significantly reduce the symptoms of the disease and play a therapeutic role.Therefore,pNO2Phe65 smBAFF can be used as a candidate molecule for the treatment of autoimmune diseases with BAFF over-expression.
ABSTRACT
In order to study the structure-function relationship in the protein which is incorporated with p-nitro-L-phenylalanine,the method of MD(Molecular Dynamics) simulation was established and successfully used in the analysis of protein which contains p-nitro-L-phenylalanine.The force field of CHARMM can only stimulate protein with natural amino acid in NAMD.Compared with phenylalanine,p-nitro-L-phenylalanine just has one more group of nitro.If the parameter of group of nitro was defined,the protein containing p-nitro-L-phenylalanine can be simulated.CGenFF-paramchem was used to calculate the energy and topological structure of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine' s new bonds (r),angles (θ),dihendrals (φ) and improper angle (ψ).And then the new defined parameter and topology information was input into the related parameter files and topology files in CHARMM.On the basis of correct parameter,NAMD can successfully simulate the modified BAFF(B lymphocyte stimulator) which contains p-nitro-L-phenylalanine.The changes in structure indicated that there might be new B cell epitopes.The temperature distribution of each frame in the process of dynamics stimulation was in accord with normal distribution,which proved the defined force field parameters was feasible.The RMSD of whole protein solution systemis 2.5.Calculate each resides' RMSF in BAFF,the RMSF of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine's residue is 3.7,which is obviously higher than that of the other residues in β-pleated sheet,and close to the loop rings,indicate that there might be variation in the area of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine residue and might produce new comformational epitopes.The results of MD stimulation will guide the immunogenicity experiments of p-nitro-L-phenylalanine modified proteins.

ABSTRACT
The biological effect on the organism generated by magnetic field is widely studied. The present study was aimed to observe the change of sodium channel under magnetic field in neurons. Cortical neurons of Kunming mice were isolated, subjected to 15 Hz, 1 mT pulse magnetic stimulation, and then the currents of neurons were recorded by whole-cell patch clamp. The results showed that, under magnetic stimulation, the activation process of Na(+) channel was delayed, and the inactivation process was accelerated. Given the classic three-layer model, the polarization diagram of cell membrane potential distribution under pulse magnetic field was simulated, and it was found that the membrane potential induced was associated with the frequency and intensity of magnetic field. Also the effect of magnetic field-induced current on action potential was simulated by Hodgkin-Huxley (H-H) model. The result showed that the generation of action potential was delayed, and frequency and the amplitudes were decreased when working current was between -1.32 μA and 0 μA. When the working current was higher than 0 μA, the generation frequency of action potential was increased, and the change of amplitudes was not obvious, and when the working current was lower than -1.32 μA, the time of rising edge and amplitudes of action potential were decreased drastically, and the action potential was unable to generate. These results suggest that the magnetic field simulation can affect the distribution frequency and amplitude of action potential of neuron via sodium channel mediation.

Patch-clamp is used to study all sorts of ionic channels and their regulations with measuring pA current of cell ionic channel, but the fast capacitance (C-fast) compensation and slow capacitance (C-slow) compensation transient currents are caused by measuring objects and measuring instruments themselves which will change the properties of action potentials. The present paper firstly discusses the C-Fast transient currents affecting membrane capacitance and membrane potential, and then draws a conclusion that the changes of membrane potential affect the properties of action potential through analyzing the changes of membrane potential in H-H model. Based on this conclusion, we discuss the influence mechanisms mainly through the analysis of traditional C-fast compensation errors, and focus discussion on the shape of electrode capacitance affecting C-fast. This method can not only improve the compensation speed greatly, but also improve the compensation precision from the electrode shape as much as possible.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>A perspective study was conducted to describe the epidemiologic profile of nosocomial infection in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The newborn infants who were admitted in the NICU for more than 48 hrs were enrolled from February 2006 to January 2007. The clinical data were collected. The rate of nosocomial infection was calculated according to the CDC surveillance system. The risk factors of nosocomial infection were investigated by multivariate regression analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 1 159 neonates were recruited. A total of 169 nosocomial infections occurred, with a cumulative rate for nosocomial infection of 14.58%. The incidence of nosocomial infection was 19.52 per 1 000 patient-days. Ninety-two cases of pneumonia, including 38 cases of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), were reported, with a nosocomial infection rate of 7.94%, which was the most common nosocomial infection in the NICU. Among these infants the rate of VAP was 48.8 per 1 000 ventilator days. The major microorganisms isolated from the infected patients were Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Coagulase negative staphylococcus, and aeruginosus Bacillus. Birth weight (OR 2.130, 95%CI 1.466-3.094), mechanical ventilation (OR 7.038, 95%CI 3.901-12.698), chest tube drainage (OR 7.004, 95%CI 1.841-26.653) and ibuprofen therapy (OR 2.907, 95% CI 1.303-6.487) were the risk factors for the development of nosocomial infection.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Pulmonary infection is the most common nosocomial infection in the NICU, and the Gram-negative bacillus is the main pathogen. Low birth weight, mechanical ventilation, chest tube drainage and ibuprofen therapy are independent risk factors for nosocomial infection in the NICU.</p>
