Background: Thrombophilia is a group of disorders that result in a blood hypercoagulable state and induce thrombosis, which was found widely existed in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). More and more research about thrombophilia has been conducted but the association between thrombophilia and RPL remains uncertain. Thus, it's necessary to combine relevant literature to find the research hotspots and analyze the internal link between different study points, and then predict the development trend in RPL with thrombophilia.

Aim: To screen the possible HLA-A*0201 restricted low-affinity CTL epitopes derived from HIV-1 pol antigen and to predict and identify the possible change of the affinity between epitope and the HLA-A*0201 molecule when the epitope is modified.

Methods: HLA-A*0201 restricted low-affinity CTL epitopes were predicted by CTL epitope prediction software based on super motif, proteasome cleavage probability, HLA affinity and so on. The candidates were modified acid substitution and analyzed by computer.

Objective: To clone and express a novel protein analogous to TIP (T cell immunomodulatory protein) of Plasmodium berghei ANKA and prepare its polyclonal antibody.

Methods: The PbTIP encoding nucleotide sequence was searched from the Plasmodium berghei genomic database and amplified by PCR. The gene was sub-cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX4T-1 and expressed in E.

Objective: To explore the significance of pelvic hemodynamics as an index in evaluating efficacy of TCM treatment for chronic pelvic inflammation (CPI).

Methods: Sixty patients with CPI received treatment with Penyanping, a self-formulated TCM recipe, for 30 days, and the changes of pelvic hemodynamic indexes in them were measured before and after treatment within the 3 - 7 days after menstruation using color Doppler.

Results: Improvement of pelvic hemodynamics indexes were shown after treatment in ovarian left arteriopalmus index, bilateral resistance index, maximal speed of left arterial blood flow and score of time-velocity, as compared with those before treatment, the difference was significant respectively (P < 0.

Aim: To express and purify Tat-p53 fusion protein and investigate its transduction efficiency.

Methods: The gene encoding wide-type p53 was isolated using RT-PCR from A549 cell line and cloned into pTAT-HA and pET32a prokaryotic expression vectors. Recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.

Aim: To study the effect of siRNA expressed from DNA vector on HBV replication.

Methods: Human U6 promoter was amplified from genomic DNA and cloned into plasmid pUC18 to construct a mammalian siRNA expression vector pUC18U6. Then oligonucleotides coding for a short hairpin RNA against HBV were cloned into pUC18U6 to form pUC18U6HBVsir which was introduced into 2.

Aim: To study the effect of a novel targeted ribonuclease (TN), the fusion protein of HBVc and human eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (hEDN), on the HBV replication in vitro.

Methods: The gene encoding the targeted ribonuclease was cloned into pcDNA3.1 (-) to form recombinant eukaryotic expression vector p/TN.
