ABSTRACT
Aim To explore the feasibility of the micro- dynamic chromogenic method for quantitative detection of bacterial endotoxin in recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine ( CHO cell).Methods The micro-dynamic color method of Limulus reagent was used to establish a bacterial endotoxin standard curve.The dilution factor was determined through interference pre -experiment, the recoverv rate of the endotoxin added to the test so- J lution was determined, and the interference test to complete the quantitative detection test of the bacterial endotoxin content in the test product was performed, and the results were compared with those of the gel-clot method.Results Hie linear range of the concentration of the standard curve was 0.02 to 2.0 EU • mL 1 , and the regression equation of the standard curve was lgT =-0.302 7 lgC +2.858 7( r = 0.998 9).When recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine ( CHO cell) was cliluted 40 times or below, the micro -dynamic chromogenic reagent did not interfere with the bacterial endotoxin agglutination reaction, and the recovery rate was 50% to 200%.The test results were consistent with the gel- clot method.Conclusions The micro-dynamic chromogenic method can be used for the quantitative detection of bacterial endotoxins in recombinant novel coronavirus vaccine ( CHO cell) with accurate results, high sensitivity, and process monitoring.
ABSTRACT
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are genomic transcripts that do not encode proteins.They are also closely associated with tumor initiation and progression,as they play regulatory roles in gene transcription,post-transcription,and translation.Moreover,ncRNAs may enter circulatory system in the form of microvesicles or exosomes,or in combination with protein.The circulating ncRNAs are stable and widely existed in body fluids such as blood and urine.Certain circulating ncRNAs are differentially expressed in tumors,suggesting that they have potential value as novel tumor biomarkers.This article briefly reviews the progress of circulating microRNA (miRNA),long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) and circular RNA (circRNA) as breast cancer biomarkers,and discusses the clinical value of circulating ncRNA as a novel biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the identification, drug resistance and clinical significance of a rare bacterium of Bordetella holmesii ( B. holmesii) to improve its detection and clinical diagnosis and treat-ment. Methods A strain isolated from a bacteremia case was identified by bacterial culture, biochemical tests and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Mega 7. 0 software was used to conduct a similarity analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences between the type strains of Bordetella spp. and the isolate, and then a phylogenetic tree was constructed. Antibiotic resistance of the isolate was determined by E-test. Changes in bacterial growth were measured after adding different concentrations of riboflavin or its inhibitor lumiflavin to the cul-ture medium. Results B. holmesii ABD2 was the pathogen causing bacteremia in the immunocompetent pa-tient. It was deposited under the number of CGMCC 1. 13721 in China General Microbiological Culture Col-lection Center (CGMCC), and the 16S rRNA gene sequences were deposited in National Center for Biotech-nology Information ( NCBI) with the accession number of KT828544. 1. Unrooted tree showed that the B. holmesii strain was highly homologous with B. pertussis. Antibiotic susceptibility test showed that the mini-mum inhibitory concentrations ( MIC) of piperacillin, ceftazidime, cefepime, imipenem, meropenem, cipro-floxacin, levofloxacin, gentamicin, amikacin, erythromycin, tetracycline and polymyxin B against the isolate were low, while the MIC values of cefazolin, cefuroxime, cefoxitin, cefotaxime, aztreonam and trime-thoprim-sulfamethoxazole were high. Riboflavin accelerated the growth of B. holmesii ABD2, while its inhibi-tor lumiflavin had an inhibitory effect. Conclusions As B. holmesii is hard to isolate and identify, limited clinical, microbiological and epidemiological data are available. It is an under-recognized pathogen with a considerable amount of information that remains to be studied.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of B-cell activating factor ( BAFF ) and its specific receptor BAFF-R in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma ( B-NHL) and to analyze the cor-relations between BAFF and the development of B-NHL.Methods RTQ-PCR and Western blot assay were used to measure the expression of BAFF and its specific receptor BAFF-R in patients with B-NHL.Fluores-cence immunocytochemical staining was used to determine the localization of BAFF and BAFF-R in Raji cells, a B-NHL cell line.The expression of BAFF in tumor tissues from patients with B-NHL of different his-tologic subtypes was measured by immunohistochemistry.WST proliferation and TUNEL assays were used to evaluate the effects of BAFF and BAFF-R on the proliferation, survival rate and apoptosis of Raji cells.Lin-ear correlations between the concentrations of lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) and the expression of BAFF and BAFF at mRNA and protein levels in patients with B-NHL were analyzed.Results BAFF and its specific receptor BAFF-R were expressed in Raji cells and played an important role in the survival and proliferation of B-NHL cell line.The expression of BAFF in tumor cells from patients with B-NHL varied with the different histologic subtypes of B-NHL.Patients with small B-cell malignant lymphoma, large B-cell lymphoma ( LBCL) , mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma ( MALT lymphoma) and follicular lymphoma showed higher levels of BAFF, while those with mantle cell lymphoma showed lower levels of BAFF.Compared with the healthy subjects, patients with B-NHL showed significantly increased expression of BAFF at mRNA and protein levels.The levels of LDH were closely related to the expression of BAFF at mRNA and protein lev-els.Conclusion BAFF and its specific receptor BAFF-R might play an important role in the growth and survival of malignant B cells.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the efficacy of postoperative early enteral nutrition (EN) therapy with long peptide mixture in gastric cancer patients receiving distal subtotal gastrectomy. Methods A total of 70 patients with gastric cancer were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 35) and control group (n = 35) after distal subtotal gastrectomy. The experimental group received early enteral nutrition with long peptide mixture postoperatively (NEN group) and the control group received early enteral nutrition with glucose saline postoperatively (GEN group). Results There were no significant differences in the recovery time of intestinal peristalsis or ventilation time between the two groups after treatment. Significant differences were found between the two groups regarding the symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting (P = 0. 048, P = 0. 000). The hospitalization time and total cost of hospitalization were not significantly different between the two groups. The level of prealbumin in the experimental group was significantly higher than those in the control group on the fourth and seventh days after operation (P=0. 000,P = 0. 000); moreover, compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher level on the fourth day and seventh day after operation (P = 0. 000 6, P = Q. 000 8), and IgM level was significantly higher than that in the control group on the seventh day after operation (P = 0. 000 1). Conclusion Postoperative early enteral nutrition with long peptide mixture can induce obvious gastrointestinal itritation symptoms in gastric cancer patients receiving distal subtotal gastrectomy, but it does not greatly increase the hospitalization time or cost, and can rapidly improve the nutrition and immune state of patients.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of progesterone on gastric mucosal inflammatory response, changes in mucosa structure, and cell apoptosis in rats with open abdominal wound and seawater immersion. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (10 each). The rats in group A were subjected to open abdominal wound + subcutaneous injection of sterile water, and rats in group B to open abdominal wound + seawater immersion + subcutaneous injection of sterile water, and rats in group C to open abdominal wound + seawater immersion + progesterone treatment. The animal model of open abdominal wound and seawater immersion was reproduced, and the rats in groups B and C were given subcutaneous injection of sterile water or progesterone (16mg/kg) at 1, 6 and 12h after immersion. All rats were executed at 16h after immersion. The ulcer index (UI) of gastric mucosa was calculated in the three groups. The pathological changes in gastric mucosa were observed under light microscope. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in gastric mucosa were measured by enzyme-linked immunoassay, the expression of caspase-3 in gastric mucosa was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the cell apoptosis of gastric mucosa was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling staining. Results The UI, concentrations of TNF-α and IL-6, and injury score of gastric mucosa in group B were all significantly higher than those in group A (P<0.01) and group C (P<0.05). The expression of caspase-3 (23.8% ± 3.5%) and apoptosis index (26.4% ± 2.8%) of the gastric mucosa in group B were higher than those in group A (10.2% ± 1.6% and 8.5% ± 1.5% respectively, P<0.01) and group C (17.1% ± 2.3% and 19.8% ± 2.4% respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion Progesterone administration could suppress gastric mucosa inflammation, protect gastric mucosal structure, and reduce mucosal cell apoptosis in the rats with open abdominal wound and sea water immersion.

Objective To investigate the regulation of B-lymphocyte stimulator(BLyS) levels in response to IFN-γand IL-6. Methods Flow cytometry, quantitative polymerase chain reaction, ELISA and Western blot were applied to examine the expression level of BLyS in response to IFN-γ and IL-6 . Results IFN-γand IL-6 induced BLyS expression in KM3 cells. After treated with BAY11-7082, an IkB-α phospho- rylation inhibitor, the up regulation of BI,yS induced by IFN-γ was completely inhibited. Inhibiting the nu-clear faetor-kB (NF-kB) and mitogen activated protein kinase(MAPK) activation in KM3 cells reduced BLyS protein and gene expression. Conclusion MAPK and NF-kB pathways are involved in the regulation of BLyS expression, which suggests that MAPK and NF-kB might be used for the treatment of multiple mye- loma.
