[Preparation technology comparison and performance evaluation of different protein A affinity chromatographic materials].

Protein A affinity chromatographic materials are widely used in clinical medicine and biomedicine because of their specific interactions with immunoglobulin G (IgG). Both the characteristics of the matrix, such as its structure and morphology, and the surface modification method contribute to the affinity properties of the packing materials. The specific, orderly, and oriented immobilization of protein A can reduce its steric hindrance with the matrix and preserve its bioactive sites.

Antibodies against thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor cause maternal-neonatal transmission of Graves' Disease.

The present study aimed to investigate whether the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR) autoantibodies (Ab) from mothers with Graves' disease (GD) could cause neonatal thyroid disease and the underlying mechanisms of this. An adenovirus expressing the TSHR A-subunit and a control adenovirus expressing β-galactosidase was constructed by Beijing Sino Geno Max Co., Ltd.

AP39 ameliorates high fat diet-induced liver injury in young rats via alleviation of oxidative stress and mitochondrial impairment.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a complication of childhood obesity and an oxidative stress-related multisystem disease. A mitochondria-targeting hydrogen sulfide (HS) donor AP39 has antioxidant property, while the mechanism underlying the function of AP39 on pediatric NAFLD remains undefined. Here, 3-week-old SD rats were received a high-fat diet (HFD) feeding and injected with AP39 (0.

The epidemic characteristics of short stature in school students.

Background: There was no large-scale population survey on the prevalence of short stature in Anhui province yet. To further acquainting the epidemiological character of teenage children short stature in Anhui province, and to provide basis for exploring reasonable intervention measure about children's height, we took this survey on short stature in primary and middle school students of Anhui province.

Methods: Twelve thousand nine primary and secondary school students in urban and rural aged from 7 to 18 years were recruited.

Isolation and characterization of exopolysaccharide with immunomodulatory activity from fermentation broth of Morchella conica.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY: Mushroom polysaccharides have traditionally been used for the prevention and treatment of a multitude of disorders like infectious illnesses, cancers and various autoimmune diseases. In vitro and in vivo studies suggest that certain polysaccharides affect immune system function. Morchella conica (M.

Effects of growth environments and two environmental endocrine disruptors on children with idiopathic precocious puberty.

Objective: The incidence of idiopathic precocious puberty (IPP) might have an increasing trend. But the causes and risk factors of IPP are unknown. The objective of our study is to evaluate the effects of growth environments and two environmental endocrine disruptors (EDCs), zearalenone (ZEA), and 1,1-dichloro-2,2,bisethylene (p,p'-DDE), on patients with IPP.
