RESUMO
Objective@#The aim was to investigate the genotype distribution of two major epitopes of large surface protein (PreS1) of hepatitis B in Chinese patients and to explore the association between the genotypes of these two epitopes, and to determine whether PreS1 full-length genotype could be revealed according to the polypeptide sequence of key epitopes. @*Methods@#HBV DNA was extracted from the serum of patients for PCR amplification. 278 samples amplified successfully were sequenced and compared with the known HBV sequences in Genbank to determine the two key epitopes of HBV PreS1 genotype (amino acid epitope 21-47 and 94-117, abbreviated as P21 and P94) and PreS1 full-length genotypes. The correlation among three genotyping approaches was analyzed by Cohen’s kappa coefficient to verify the consistency between the key-epitope genotyping and the full-length preS1 genotyping. @*Results@#232 samples were successfully sequenced. The genotyping based on the kind of P21 epitope protein sequence, 201 cases for genotype C, 23 cases for genotype B and 8 cases for uncertain genotypes and genotyping based on the form of P94 epitope protein sequence, 199 cases for genotype C, 25 cases for genotype B and 8 cases for indeterminate genotypes. Lastly, the genotyping based on sequence of the full-length PreS1 sequence, 207 and 25 cases for genotype C and B. P21 or P94 epitope genotyping and PreS1 full length genotyping were highly consistent, respectively, 96.55% and 96.12%, and the two epitopes (P21and P94) genotyping have parallel consistency (93.10%). @*Conclusion@#In this study, an innovatively genotyping method based on the amino acid sequence of key epitopes was proposed. The genotypes of HBV in china were mainly B and C genotypes, and the genotypes of key conserved epitopes of HBV PreS1 were highly consistent with the full-length genotyping ( > 96%). Moreover, genotyping with one or two key epitopes can be used in place of the full-length genotyping.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of EGCG-Zn chelated by epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and Zn ion on learn-ing,memory and antioxidant abilities in vascular dementia(VD)rats. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group,zinc gluconate group (positive control,70 mg/kg),EGCG group (5 mg/kg),and EGCG-Zn low-dose,mid-dle-dose,high-dose groups (2,5,10 mg/kg),10 in each group. The VD models were induced by middle cerebral artery occlu-sion. The rats were intragastrically given relevant medicines after 7 d of modeling,once a day,for 28 d. Morris water maze were used to evaluate learning and memory abilities of rats. Spectrophotometric method was adopted to detect the superoxide dismutase (SOD),catalase(CAT),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)activities and malondialdehyde(MDA)content in brain tissue of rats. RESULTS:Compared with sham group,escape latency was extended in model group,percentage of platform quadrant swimming distance(dP/dT)was reduced(P<0.01);SOD,CAT,GSH-Px activities in brain tissue were reduced,and MDA content was in-creased (P<0.01). Compared with model group,escape latency on 4th d of recording was obviously shortened in EGCG group and EGCG-Zn dose groups,dP/dT was obviously increased and dose-depended(P<0.05 or P<0.01);SOD,CAT,GSH-Px activi-ties in brain tissue were increased,MDA content was decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01)and dose-depended. Compared with EGCG group and zinc gluconate group,escape latency was obviously shortened in EGCG-Zn dose groups,dP/dT was increased;SOD, CAT,GSH-Px activities in brain tissue were increased,MDA content was decreased;and the effects in high-dose,medium-dose groups were more obvious(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:EGCG-Zn can improve the learning,memory and antioxidant abilities in VD rats,and the effect is superior to EGCG.
RESUMO
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract carcinoma and the factors that influence sur-vival. Methods:A total of 91 cases of advanced biliary tract carcinoma from January 2010 to April 2015 were enrolled in our study. The patients' characteristics, chemotherapy regimens, and effects were analyzed. Results:We enrolled 56 males and 35 females with a me-dian age of 57 years. A total of 90 patients were assessable for their responses to first-line chemotherapy. A total of 69 patients re-ceived the GP regimen, whereas 21 patients received some other regimens. The disease control rate (DCR), median progression free survival (mPFS), and median overall survival (mOS) were 68.1%versus 52.4%, 5.10 months versus 2.50 months (P=0.025), and 13.00 months versus 7.20 months, respectively. Only 31 patients received S-1 based regimens, and 12 patients received some other regi-mens as second-line chemotherapy. The DCR, median PFS, and median OS showed no statistical differences. Only four patients re-ceived S-1 based regimen plus bevacizumab as second-line chemotherapy (median PFS 5.3 months;median OS 7 months). Hematologi-call toxicity was the most common side effect in the first-line GP regimen. The side effects of the S-1 based chemotherapy regimen was relatively less. Conclusion:The GP regimen is an effective first-line chemotherapy for advanced biliary tract carcinoma, whereas S-1 ap-pears as an effective second-line chemotherapy drug. Bevacizumab-based regimens may be effective and require further validation.

RESUMO
AIM: To choose the anti myocardial ischemic ingredients from polysaccharide of Ophiopogon Japonicus(PO), then to confirm their effects. METHODS: According to molecular weight, PO was separated to three portions by using ultrafiltration technique. The effects of each separated portion on myocardial ischemia induced by isoproterenol were studied. Then the effects of PO active portions (POAP) on the convulsion of coronary artery induced by pituitrin and acute myocardial ischemia caused by the ligation of coronary artery were further studied in rats. RESULTS: POAP could resist the elevation of Tand S T phase induced by pituitrin in rats, remarkably decrease the elevated S T phase and contents of CK and LDH in serum caused by the ligation of rat coronary artery. POAP also exerted some inhibition effects on the reduction of SOD and increase of MDA caused by myocardial ischemia. CONCLUSION: POAP can protect myocardial cells, inhibit the generation of free radicals, and scavenge the oxygen free radicals generated from myocardial ischemia.
