ABSTRACT
This manuscript aims to study the main points of Chinese medicine nursing and its precautions for patients with diabetic nephropathy,and to better guide the clinical nursing work of TCM.To summarize the experience of traditional Chinese medicine clinical nursing work for patients with diabetic nephropathy in our department,and to explore effective methods of traditional Chinese medicine nursing to standardize the traditional Chinese medicine nursing work for diabetic nephropathy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the recombination type of B/C genotype in hepatitis B virus.Methods The PCR was applied to amplifed the whole genes of HBV through the serums of four chronic HBV carriers who come from Jinghong distict,Yunnan province.The whole HBV genomes were ligated with pMD18-T vector and trasformed to E.coli JM109.After the positive colones were picked up,the HBV genotypes and recombinated sites were discoved through sequenced the acquired positive colones.Results All the acquired sixteen HBV sequences from the four HBV carriers were genotype B which were combinated with genotype C in some region.There are two ways of the combinations.For the first one,a 496 bp fragment from genotype C taked place the genotype B at the place of nt1825 to nt2320 of precore C/C region.For the second way,a 695 bp fragment of genotype B taked place at the both sites of nt822 to nt1020 of P gene region and nt1825 to nt2320 of precore C/C region.Conclusion A new recombination type of B/C genotype in hepatitis B virus was reported for the first time.The new Bj subgenotype was combinated with genotype C not only at the region of precore C/C but also at the place of P gene region.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the differential gene expression profile from patients with Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) by oligonucleotide microarray technique.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Total RNA of 3 probands with BBS and 4 healthy siblings were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and reverse-transcribed to cDNAs. Then the cDNAs were subjected for microarray screening with Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 array. Genechip scanner was applied to screen the hybridization signals. Genes differentially expressed between the BBS probands and controls were identified by using GCOS1.4 software with the standard of two-fold change (P<0.05) of expression.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Fifteen genes were up-regulated 2 or more fold and another 15 genes were down-regulated 2 or more fold in the BBS patients, among them 12 genes were related to signaling pathway and cell cycle by Gene Ontology (GO) analysis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The differentially expressed genes identified may correlate with the function or structure of cilia. Their roles in the BBS genesis need to be further studied.</p>
