Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate and compare the clinical manifestations between HLA-B27(+) and HLA-B27(-) ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients in order to obtain knowledge of the impact of HLA-B27 status on AS, and to inform clinical treatment. A nationwide epidemiological investigation was performed from November 2008 to October 2010. The demographic data and clinical characteristics, and the status of HLA-B27 were collected using questionnaires and laboratory assay, respectively. A total of 2144 patients (78.5% males and 78.4% HLA-B27(+) AS patients) participated in this study. The percentages of males, patients with family history, and involvement of lumbar spine, thoracic spine and hip joints, were observed to be significantly higher in the HLA-B27(+) AS patients than in their HLA-B27(-) AS peers.

Abstract
Recombinant adenoviruses are one of the most common vehicles for efficient in vitro and in vivo gene deliveries. Here, we investigate whether exogenous precursor terminal protein (pTP) expression in 293 cells improves the efficiency of adenovirus packaging and amplification. We used a piggyBac transposon-based vector and engineered a stable 293 line that expresses high level of Ad5 pTP, designated as 293pTP. Using the AdBMP6-GLuc that expresses green fluorescent protein (GFP), BMP6 and Gaussia luciferase, we found that the infectivity of AdBMP6-GLuc viral samples packaged in 293pTP cells was titrated up to 19.3 times higher than that packaged in parental 293 cells. AdBMP6-GLuc viral samples packaged in 293pTP cells exhibited significantly higher transduction efficiency in 143B and immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblast (iMEF) cells, as assessed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis of GFP-positive cells, the luciferase activity assay and BMP6-induced osteogenic marker alkaline phosphatase activities in iMEFs. When adenovirus amplification efficiency was analyzed, we found that 293pTP cells infected with AdBMP6-GLuc yielded up to 12.6 times higher titer than that in parental 293 cells, especially at lower multiplicities of infection. These results strongly suggest that exogenous pTP expression may accelerate the packaging and amplification of recombinant adenoviruses. Thus, the engineered 293pTP cells should be a superior packaging line for efficient adenovirus production.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The SARC-F scale is a newly developed tool to diagnose sarcopenia and obviate the need for measurement of muscle mass. SARC-F ≥ 4 is defined as sarcopenia. The questions of SARC-F cover physical functions targeting sarcopenia or initial presentation for sarcopenia. The aim of the study is to explore the application of SARC-F in the Chinese people. METHODS Two hundred thirty Chinese people over 65 years old were assessed by the SARC-F scale, PSMS, Lawton IADL and the shortened version of the falls efficacy scale-international(the short FES-I). Hospitalization was investigated. Physical performance and strength were measured. The association of SARC-F with other scales or tests was analyzed. RESULTS Poor physical performance and grip strength were associated with SARC-F ≥ 4 independently (P<0.005). The κ value for agreement of SARC-F ≥ 4 and cutoff points of tests were 0.391 to 0.635. The short FES-I were correlated to SARC-F scores (Spearman's coefficient 0.692). Poor PSMS and Lawton IADL scores were associated with SARC-F ≥ 4(P=0.000) and SARC-F ≥ 4 was associated with hospitalization in the past 2 years (P=0.000). CONCLUSION The SARC-F scale can identify old Chinese people with impaired physical function who may suffered from sarcopenia. SARC-F judgment reflects fear of falling, indicates the hospitalization events and is associated with ability of daily life. Thus, SARC-F may be a simple and useful tool for screening individuals with impaired physical function. Further studies on SARC-F in Chinese people would be worthy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective inhibition of inward rectifier K+ channels could abolish the protection mediated by ischemic preconditioning, but the roles of these channels in ischemic postconditioning have not been well characterized. Our study aims to evaluate the effect of inward rectifier K+ channels on the protection induced by ischemic postconditioning. METHODS Langendorff-perfused rat hearts (n=8 per group) were split into four groups: postconditioning hearts (IPO group); ischemic postconditioning with BaCl2 hearts (PB group); ischemic postconditioning with zacopride hearts (PZ group); and without ischemic postconditioning (CON group). After suffering 30 minutes of global ischemia, groups IPO, PB and PZ went through 10 seconds of ischemic postconditioning with three different perfusates: respectively, Krebs-Henseleit buffer (IPO group); 20 μmol/L BaCl2 (antagonist of the channel, PB group); 1 μmol/L zacopride (agonist of the channel, PZ group). RESULTS At the end of reperfusion, the myocardial performance was better preserved in the PZ group than the other three groups. The PB group showed no significant differences from the CON group. CONCLUSIONS Our study has shown that the IK1 channel agonist zacopride is associated with the enhancement of ischemic postconditioning.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is thought to be progressive. Insufficient insulin secretion in compensation for insulin resistance leads to glucose intolerance. A previously reported proband with type A insulin resistance syndrome and her younger twin brothers with and without the R1174W missense mutation in the insulin receptor gene were followed for 9 years to study the progression of glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function around puberty. Five-hour OGTT was performed in them at each visit. Areas under the curves of glucose, insulin and C-peptides, insulinogenic index, AIR, and Homa indices were assessed. Intramyocellular lipids (IMCLs) were quantified in the proband and compared to those of 12 nondiabetic subjects, 118 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients. The proband maintained normal HbA1c (27-37 mmol/mol) and fasting plasma glucose (3.7-4.5 mmol/l), and her glucose tolerance ameliorated over years. The proband's Homa-IR decreased into adulthood, while her Homa-B, insulinogenic index, AIR, AUCs of insulin, and C-peptide decreased accordingly. Homa-B to Homa-IR ratios stayed significantly higher than normal. Homa-B, AUCs of insulin, and C-peptide of the twin brothers increased in response to the increment of Homa-IR as they entered middle and late puberty. The changes were more dramatic in the twin brothers carrying the mutation. IMCLs of the proband were lower than those of the nondiabetic counterparts and were disproportional for the degree of insulin resistance. Our longitudinal data of type A insulin resistance syndrome around puberty provide significant information for the study of insulin secretion in compensation for insulin resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the quality of life ( QOL) and its influencing factors among men who have sex with men ( MSM) in Chongqing city. METHODS Snowball sampling and internet investigation techniques were applied to recruit MSM and 803 MSM in Chongqing were collected. The WHOQOL-BREF and SSRS questionnaire were used among MSM. RESULTS Scores of the physiological domain, psychological domain, social relation domain, environmental domain and total score of QOL were (14. 03 +/- 2. 14) (13.38 +/- 2.44), (13.45 +/- 2.88), (12.52 +/- 2.48) and (13.29 +/- 2.05), respectively. Except for the environmental domain, scores of other domains of MSM were lower than that of common residents. The factors of social support and the domains of the quality of life were positive correlation. The multivariate analysis indicated that the main factors involved in influenced the QOL of the MSM were monthly income and scores of total social support. Frequency of condom, objective support, presence of regular homo-sex partners, the number of friends in gay circles, presence of regular sexual partner, the situation of only child,utilization of support, profession, knowing the VCT or not,native place had impacts on a few domains of the QOL. CONCLUSION According to different demographic characteristics, and combining HIV health education and psychological intervention is helpful to improve the quality of life among MSM.
