RESUMEN
@#Based on the three delivery forms of CRISPR/Cas9 system at the levels of DNA, RNA and protein, this paper mainly approaches the development and new strategies of CRISPR/Cas9 delivery systems, as well as their application in the biomedical field and the clinical treatment of gene-related diseases. By summarizing and elaborating the CRISPR/Cas9 system delivery and gene therapy strategy, new ideas are provided for the discovery of innovative drugs and the development of gene therapy.
RESUMEN
Objective To explore the effect of a novel colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip for detection of group B streptococci (GBS).Methods A total of 202 cases of swab of vagina or neck of uterus were collected,and they were detec-ted by novel strip and control strip to evaluate their clinical applications.Results Sensitivity of novel strip was about 105 CFU/ml and the detection time was about 5 to 8 minutes,and it showed better sensitivity and shorter detection time com-pared with control strip.In the 202 cases of clinical samples,the detection results of 197 cases were in consistent with the control strip,however,the detection results of 5 cases were not in consistent.The positive coincidence rate and negative coin-cidence rate were 97.5% and 97.54% respectively,and the total coincidence rate and Kappa value were 97.52% and 0.948 respectively.The consistency test showed no significant difference between this strip and control strip.Conclusion This method was a effective technology for diagnosing of infection caused by GBS,and had high value in clinical application.
RESUMEN
Alveolar macrophages (AMs) can initiate lung inflammation by producing pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, but they participate actively in the prevention of inflammation during acute lung injury (ALI). Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is mainly expressed in AMs and has anti-inflammatory properties in ALI, but the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of HO-1 are largely unknown. In this study, AMs were treated with saline, LPS (1 µg/ml), hemin (10 µM), zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP; 10 µM, 1 h prior to LPS and hemin), SB203580 (10 µM, 1 h prior to LPS and hemin), or their combination up to 24 h. The specific HO-1 inhibitor ZnPP and SB203580 were used to inhibit the effects of HO-1 and the phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), respectively. The protein levels of HO-1 and p38 MAPK were analyzed by western blotting; arginase activity was measured in lysates obtained from cultured cells; nitric oxide production in the extracellular medium of AMs cultured for 24 h was monitored by assessing nitrite levels; the phagocytic ability of macrophage was measured by neutral red uptake. IL-10 of culture supernatants in AMs was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results indicated that HO-1 induced by hemin increased arginase activity and phagocytic ability and decreased iNOS activity via p38 MAPK pathway in primary rat AMs. These changes and p38 MAPK may be the anti-inflammatory mechanism of HO-1 induced by hemin in primary rat AMs.

Objective To investigate epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)expression and tumor residual to the prognostic value in patients with nasopharyngeal cancer(NPC).Methods 200 patients with NPC were examined for EGFR expression by immunohistochemistry analysis,neck cancer and nasopharyngeal residual.Results In 200 cases with NPC,expression of EGFR of positive and negative were 160 cases(80.0%) and 40 cases (20.0%);the rate of overall survival(OS),disease-free survival (DFS),loeoregional relapse-free survival (LRFS) and distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS)in patients with positive EGFR were 72.3%,63.6%,72.2%,63.8% and negative EGFR were 90.0%,90.0%,90.0%,90.0%,respectively in 3-year(X2=3.95,X2=4.12,X2=3.98,X2=4.15,P<0.05),the rate of local recurrence,distant metastasis rate in residual were 26.6%,32.5% which is significantly higher than 8.1%,18.1% in without residual(X2=4.75,X2=4.94,P<0.05);the hish expression of EGFR with DFS,OS were significantly correlated(r=6.457,P<0.05).Conclusion The overexpress of EGFR had the tendency of poor prognosis.tumor residual after radiotherpy can be a prognostic indicator for patients with NPC.
