ABSTRACT
The base composition of the chloroplast genes is of great interest because they play a highly significant role in the evolutionary development of the plants. Evaluation of the 48 chloroplast protein-coding genes of Hemiptelea davidii showed that the average GC content was about 37.32%, while at the third codon base position alone the average GC content was only 27.80%. The 48 genes were classified into five groups based on the gene function and each group displayed specific codon characteristics. Based on the relative synonymous codon usage analysis, a total of 30 high-frequency codons and 11 optimal codons were identified, most of them ended with A or T. Neutrality plot, ENC-plot and PR2-plot analyses showed that the codon usage bias of the chloroplast genes of H. davidii was greatly influenced by natural selection pressures. Meanwhile, the frequency of codon usage of chloroplast genes among different plant species displayed similarities, with some synonymous codons were preferred to be used in H. davidii. In this study, the codon usage pattern of the chloroplast proteincoding genes of H. davidii provides us with a better understanding of the expression of chloroplast genes, and may advice the future molecular breeding programmes.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the curative effect of lumbar sympathetic nerve injury combined with systemic and local medication in intractable lower limb ischemic pain.Methods21 patients with intractable lower limb ischemic pain accepted lumbar sympathectomy,at the same time foot topical Votalinemulgel used and Combined with anticonvulsants and opioids according to circumstances,the visual analogue scale of resting pain(visual analogue scale,VAS),the Local skin temperaturebefore and after treatment were observed and evaluated.ResultsAfter Lumbar sympathetic nerve block and topical Votalinemulgel,21 patients had pain relief.After treatment, 2 patients had poor effect,the remaining 19 patients had pain relief to VAS<3, 4 patients did not need systemic analgesic drugs,the rest of the patients need systemic analgesic drugs.ConclusionIt is necessary to adopt multimodal comprehensive treatment for intractable lower limb ischemic pain.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the treatment of patients with severe traumatic shock first-aid and the preventive measure of the complications caused by a large number of fast blood transfusion during surgery.Methods Retrospective analysis of 87 patients with severe traumatic shock and rapid blood transfusion given to a large number of patients for emergency medical treatment, while the load cycle, bleeding, body temperature, serum potassium, and other indicators were observed, effects and complieations of treatment and effective prevention measures were summarized.Results 87 patients after aggressive surgical treatment,the success rate was 81.61% (71/87) ;surgery circulatory overload caused massive blood transfusion, bleeding tendency,low body temperature,low blood potassium disorders such specific complications.Conclusion Patients with severe traumatic shock should be taken promptly and effective first aid treatment and.the complication caused by massive blood transfusion during surgery,and it could reduce mortality and complications.
ABSTRACT
Tetrazanbigen (TNBG) is a novel synthetic antitumor drug with significant antitumor effects on common solid tumors in vitro and in vivo. It may lead to death of cancer cells through a tumor-associated lipoidosis mechanism, and result in lipid droplets (LDs) accumulation at the cytoplasm. In this study, the effects of TNBG on protein expression in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line QGY-7701 were studied for elucidating its antitumor mechanism. The proteins extracted from TNBG-treated human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line QGY-7701 were analyzed and compared with control cells by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The differential proteins were identified by matrix-associated laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass (MALDI-TOF-MS) spectrometry. Two proteins of interest, the levels of which were significantly increased in TNBG-treated cells, were further characterized by Western blot analysis. The results showed a total of 846+/-23 spots in control cells and 853+/-30 spots in TNBG-treated cells. Twenty-six up-regulated or down-regulated proteins were found by analyzing differential proteomic 2-DE map. Eleven of them were identified by mass spectrometry. They were protein disulfide-isomerase precursor, 94 kD glucose-regulated protein, heat shock protein (HSP) 90-alpha, ATP-citrate lyase, HMG-CoA reductase, glucose-6-phosphate 1-dehydrogenase, very-long-chain specific acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, squalene synthetase, sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1, fructose-bisphosphate aldolase A, and peroxiredoxin-1. These up-regulated or down-regulated proteins are mostly related to lipid metabolism. The TNBG antitumor mechanism is probably to influence tumor lipid metabolism, resulting in accumulation of LDs in tumor cells.
