A novel electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy method for determination of rabbit IgG was presented. Anti rabbit IgG antibody was bound to Fe3O4 nanoparticles (FeNPs). The FeNPs were used as probe to give ESR signal. After the optimization of the assay, a molar ratio 500:1 of antibody to FeNPs was selected. The sepharose beads were used as solid phase and used to separate the analyte from the sample solution. Two typical immunoassay formats, sandwich and competitive formats, were applied to the determination of IgG. The analytical sensitivities obtained by sandwich and competitive formats were 0.13 mu g mL(-1) and 0.56 mu g mL(-1), respectively. The two formats were applied to the determination of the rabbit IgG in rabbit serum. The diluted sample was directly analyzed and other additional sample treatment was not required. The analytical results of the spiked samples indicated that the recoveries of the analytes were acceptable. Furthermore, the sample preparation time used in this method is shorter than most existing immunoassay methods.

Hemorrhagic septicemia of mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) was mainly caused by Aeromonas hydrophila which was an opportunistic pathogen. In recent years, the disease has caused tremendous economic loss with high morbidity and mass mortality in the mandarin fish breeding industry. Histopathological analysis and the immune related gene expression profiles of mandarin fish (S. chuatsi) infected with A. hydrophila were investigated in this study. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the cells of A. hydrophila densely covered with a mass of fimbriae. Histopathological analysis revealed that inflammation, vacuolization and extensive necrosis existed in the gill, liver, spleen and head kidney of the diseased fish. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to measure mRNA expression levels for six immune related genes in mandarin fish after A. hydrophila infection. The transcriptional analysis of these immune related genes demonstrated that the expression levels of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II), T cell receptor alpha (TCR alpha), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), CC chemokine 3, interleukin 8 (IL-8) and Hepcidin were strongly up-regulated in spleen and head kidney of mandarin fish post-infection. These results will contribute to further study on the pathogenesis and host defensive system in A. hydrophila infection.

Rational construction of biosensor to determine reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from living cells is one of the great challenges in physiological and pathological fields. Herein, for the first time, a novel Co nanoparticles (CoNPs) embedded walnut-like N-doped porous carbon microsphere (Co@NCS) can be synthesized using dual imprinting strategy by pyrolysis and acid leaching. The distinct morphology and chemical characteristic of melamine cyanurate (MC) aggregates can be imprinted in the carbon source derived from glucose during the pyrolysis process. According to our research, with synergistic effect of CoHPs and NCS, the Co@NCS shows an excellent electrochemical activity toward the reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The Co@NCS modified electrode exhibits a wider linear detection response with the range from 0.5 mu M to 7500 mu M and a low detection limit of 88 nM (S/N = 3). Moreover, with desirable selectivity, decent reproducibility and satisfied anti-interference performance, the fabricated biosensor can be applied to determine H2O2 in human serum samples and that released from living cell, indicating the potential applications in the fields of pathological and physiological sensing.

Hyperlipidemia is one of the important risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Monitoring of adverse reactions of hypolipidemic drugs is very crucial for clinical administration. In this study, in order to explore the occurrence characteristics of ADRs for hypolipidemic drugs, we manually annotated and normalized the ADRs of hypolipidemic drugs from Chinese adverse event reports. Totally 579 records are involved in the study. Also we constructed a new dictionary of ADRs and a classification standard of the Severity of ADR to standardize the description of adverse drug reactions. Finally, we got a dictionary of ADR which have 171 terms, of 129 are from WHO-ART and 42 are self-defined. A new classification criteria for the severity of ADRs were built and each record were annotated by the criteria. Our annotated corpus, ADR dictionary and the classification standard can provide data source and dictionary resource to support future machine-learning-based ADR mining to better explore ADRs of hypolipidemic drugs.

Aims: Arrhythmogenesis of chronic myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with the prolongation of action potential, reduction of inward rectifier potassium (I-K1, Kir) channels and hyper-activity of Calcium/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) in cardiomyocytes. Zacopride, a selective I-K1 agonist, was applied to clarify the cardioprotection of I-K1 agonism via a CaMKII signaling on arrhythmias post-MI. Methods: Male SD rats were implanted wireless transmitter in the abdominal cavity and subjected to left main coronary artery ligation or sham operation. The telemetric ECGs were monitored per day throughout 4 weeks. At the endpoint, isoproterenol (1.28 mg/kg, i.v.) was administered for provocation test. The expressions of Kir2.1 (dominant subunit of I-K1 in ventricle) and CaMKII were detected by Western-blotting. Key findings: In the telemetric rats post-MI, zacopride significantly reduced the episodes of atrioventricular conduction block (AVB), premature ventricular contraction (PVC), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), without significant effect on superventricular premature contraction (SPVC). In provocation test, zacopride suppressed the onset of ventricular arrhythmias in conscious PMI or sham rats. The expression of Kir2.1 was significantly downregulated and p-CaMKII was upregulated post-MI, whereas both were restored by zacopride treatment. Significance: I-K1/Kir2.1 might be an attractive target for pharmacological controlling of lethal arrhythmias post MI.
