Abstract
BACKGROUND Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) is one of the most common disorders in otorhinolaryngology, affecting up to 10% of outpatients visiting otolaryngology departments. In addition, 50% of hoarseness cases are related to LPR. Pepsin reflux-induced aseptic inflammation is a major trigger of LPR; however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. The nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has become an important bridge between stimulation and sterile inflammation and is activated by intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to danger signals, leading to an inflammatory cascade. In this study, we aimed to determine whether pepsin causes LPR-associated inflammatory injury via mediating inflammasome activation and explore the potential mechanism. METHODS We evaluated NLRP3 inflammasome expression and ROS in the laryngeal mucosa using immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Laryngeal epithelial cells were exposed to pepsin and analyzed using flow cytometry, western blotting, and real-time quantitative PCR to determine ROS, NLRP3, and pro-inflammatorycytokine levels. RESULTS Pepsin expression was positively correlated with ROS as well as caspase-1 and IL-1β levels in laryngeal tissues. Intracellular ROS levels were elevated by increased pepsin concentrations, which were attenuated by apocynin (APO)-a ROS inhibitor-in vitro. Furthermore, pepsin significantly induced the mRNA and protein expression of thioredoxin-interacting protein, NLRP3, caspase-1, and IL-1β in a dose-dependent manner. APO and the NLRP3 inhibitor, MCC950, inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome formation and suppressed laryngeal epithelial cell damage. CONCLUSION Our findings verified that pepsin could regulate the NLRP3/IL-1β signaling pathway through ROS activation and further induce inflammatory injury in LPR. Targeting the ROS/NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway may help treat patients with LPR disease.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the possible pathophysiological mechanism of laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) in the development of lingual tonsil hypertrophy (LTH). Methods: The lingual tonsil tissues were collected from 73 patients [48 males and 25 females, aged from 24 to 76 (52.86±12.04) years] who underwent surgery for laryngopharyngeal diseases at the Department of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, Southern Hospital of Southern Medical University from October 2019 to December 2020, and the lingual tonsil grade (LTG), reflux symptom index (RSI) and reflux finding score (RFS) were assessed. The expression of pepsin in LTH was detected by immunohistochemistry. The coexpression of pepsin and macrophages were detected by immunohistofluorescence. In vitro, cytological experiments and pathway assays were performed on macrophages stimulated by pepsin. Pathway alterations of macrophages in pepsin-positive high-grade LTH were detected by double-fluorescence immunohistochemistry. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20.0 software. Results: There were 44 clinically significant LPRD patients with LTG 3 and 4, and the pepsin positive rate was 88.6% (39/44). While, the pepsin positive rate of LTG 1 and 2 was 48.3% (14/29). LTG was significantly positively correlated with RFS/RSI positive rate(χ2=23.01/19.62, P<0.001/0.001; r=0.54/0.51, P<0.001/0.001) and pepsin tissue staining intensity (H=21.58, P<0.001; r=0.53, P<0.001), respectively. Pepsin and macrophages were clearly colocalized in high grade LTH. In vitro, pepsin promoted macrophage proliferation (P<0.05) and production of IL-6/IL-8 (P<0.05). Pepsin significantly up-regulated the p38/JNK MAPK pathway in macrophages (P<0.05). Pepsin up-regulated the expression of IL-6 and IL-8 of macrophages by activating the p38 MAPK pathway (P<0.05), and up-regulated the expression of IL-8 by activating the JNK pathway (P<0.05). The p38/JNK MAPK pathways were highly expressed in macrophages of pepsin-positive LTH (P<0.05). Conclusions: LPR is an important pathogenic factor in LTH. Macrophages may mediate pepsin-induced inflammation and the pathogenesis of LTH.

Abstract
The general data, blood routine, liver and kidney function, glucose metabolism and lipid metabolism of 11 922 participants who underwent physical examination at the Health Management Center of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2019 to December 2019 were collected. Clinical characteristics and independent factors of patients with discordance between HbA1c and FPG were evaluated and analyzed. The prevalence of HbA1c-defined diabetes and prediabetes (respectively 8.13%, 34.79%) were significantly higher than that in FPG-defined diabetes and prediabetes (respectively 4.70%, 8.97%) (χ²=2 635.940;P<0.001). The prevalence of inconsistence between HbA1c and FPG was 35.65% and increased with increasing age. This inconsistence mainly occurred in population with HbA1c:5.7%-6.0% and FPG<5.6 mmol/L, followed by population with HbA1c:6.1%-6.4% and FPG<5.6 mmol/L. The risk factors of inconsistency included advanced age, overweight or obesity, hypoalbuminemia, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia. Among these special participants, compared with participants under 45 years old, participants with over 45 years of age (OR=3.525, 95%CI: 3.216-3.863, P<0.001) were more likely to have inconsistence between HbA1c and FPG; and overweight participants (OR=1.474, 95%CI: 1.341-1.620, P<0.001) or obese participants (OR=1.856, 95%CI: 1.633-2.110, P<0.001) are prone to have the inconsistence than those with normal weight.

Abstract
Primary laryngeal epithelial cells are essential to exploring the
mechanisms of laryngeal and voice disorders; however, they are
difficult to study and apply because of their limited life span. The
purpose of this study was to develop a stable and reliable in
vitro model for the comprehensive study of the
pathogenesis of laryngeal and voice diseases. The pLVTHM-Bmi1 plasmid
was constructed and used to immortalize primary laryngeal epithelial
cells by lentiviral infection. The expressions of Bmi1, human
telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), p53, and pRB pathway
proteins were detected by western blotting. Functional characteristics
of the immortalized cell lines were verified by cell senescence
β-galactosidase staining, 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine cell proliferation
test, and flow cytometry. We successfully introduced Bmi into human
subglottic (hSG) cells and human ventricle (hV) cells. Both the human
immortalized subglottic Bmi1 (hSG-Bmi1) cell line and the human
immortalized ventricle Bmi1 (hV-Bmi1) cell line maintained normal
epithelial morphology and divided successfully after more than 20
culture passages. As Bmi1 was overexpressed in these cells, the
expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and
phosphorylated Rb increased while p16 and p21 decreased. Following
Bmi1-mediated immortalization, cell senescence decreased
significantly, and cell proliferation was accelerated. Tumor formation
was not observed for hSG, hV, or hSG-Bmi1, and hV-Bmi1 cells in nude
mice. hSG-Bmi1 cells dominated by stratified squamous epithelium and
hV-Bmi1 cells dominated by columnar cells were established. The new
cell lines lay a foundation for the study of the pathogenic mechanisms
of laryngeal and voice diseases.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate if laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) plays a role as a risk factor for vocal fold polyps (VFPs), and if pepsin is associated with higher oxidative DNA damage of VFPs in the presence of LPR. METHODS Thirty patients with VFPs were recruited between 2017 and 2018. Prior to surgery, a laryngoscopy was performed on all subjects to evaluate VFPs. Polyp tissue and saliva samples were obtained scrupulously. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed for pathologic analysis. Immunohistochemistry and ELISA were used to detect pepsin in tissue and saliva of VFP patients. 8-OHdG and p-H2AX expression was detected to measure oxidative DNA damage in tissue. DNA damage was investigated in human immortalized laryngeal epithelial cells exposed to pepsin. RESULTS The pepsin concentration in saliva was significantly higher (t = 2.38, P = .024) in the pepsin positive group. There was no significant difference in pepsin expression at different sites and pathological subtypes of VFPs. The levels of 8-OHdG and p-H2AX were significantly higher in the pepsin positive group and positively correlated with the tissue expression of pepsin. The concentration of pepsin in saliva also showed a significant correlation with 8-OHdG levels. Expression of 8-OHdG and p-H2AX, and tail moment of the comet assay were elevated in human immortalized laryngeal epithelial cells following treatment with pepsin. CONCLUSION Patients with VFPs have higher levels of oxidative DNA damage in the presence of pepsin reflux. Pepsin may induce DNA damage in laryngeal epithelial cells and participate in the pathogenesis of VFPs.

Abstract
Objective: To analyze the correlation between the changes of lung function and serum proinflammatory cytokines in workers occupationally exposed to toluene diisocyanate (TDI), and to explore the evaluation index of respiratory toxicity of TDI. Methods: In October 2014, 61 male workers engaged in TDI synthesis process, purification process, packaging process and the above production process in a TDI factory in western China were selected as TDI exposure group; 62 male enterprise managers who were not exposed to TDI and other known allergenic chemicals were selected as control group, which were matched at the age of workers in exposure group. The questionnaire survey obtained information such as gender, length of service, age, occupational history, exposed length of service and so on. The lung function indexes [forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC] and serum levels of interleukin (IL)-1 β, IL-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, macrophage inflammatory factor-1 β, monocyte chemoattractant factor-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor were measured. The urine was collected after the weekend shift, and the concentration of (TDA), the metabolite of TDI, was determined as the index of internal exposure. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between cytokines and lung function indexes, and multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the changes of lung function indexes and cytokines with TDI exposure concentration and time. Results: The median age (P5-P95) of the exposed group and the control group was 36.5 (24.0-51.0) and 38.0 (24.0-50.0) years, respectively. In the exposed group, the median length of service (P5-P95) was 6.94 (0.97-26.33) years, and the median concentration of TDA in urine was 15.56 (2.28-112.16) ng/ml. The three indexes of lung function, FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and the levels of serum IL-8 and TNF-α were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). With the increase of exposure concentration and exposure time, the level of serum TNF-α, FVC and FEV1 decreased, and showed a good dose-effect and time-effect relationship (all Ptrend values< 0.05). Serum IL-8 and TNF-α were positively correlated with FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC (all P values<0.01). Conclusion: The levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-8 and TNF-α in worker exposed to TDI are related to lung function indexes, which can be used as early evaluation indexes of respiratory toxicity induced by TDI.

Abstract
Laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) induces a differential damage effect on several anatomic
sites within the larynx and hypopharynx; therefore, an in vitro model is needed for each
anatomic site. This study aimed to establish a primary culture method for human laryngeal
and hypopharyngeal epithelial cells derived from multiple anatomic sites. Surgical mucosa
specimens were treated with a two-step enzymatic strategy to establish a primary culture.
Of the 46 samples, primary cultivation was achieved successfully with 36 samples, and the
positive ratio was 78.3%. In addition, flow cytometry revealed that these primary cells
were epithelial cells with a purity of 94.9%. The proliferative ability was confirmed by
positive staining for Ki-67. Laryngeal and hypopharyngeal epithelial cells from multiple
sites exhibited similar epithelial morphology and positive cytokeratin expression. These
cells can be cultured to passage 4. In summary, we successfully established the in vitro
epithelial model of larynx and hypopharynx subsites, which may potentially be used as a
platform for reflux research, especially for site-specific damage effect.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association between etheno-DNA adduct and the promoter of DNA methylation levels of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (P16), Ras association domain family 1 (RASSF1A) and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) in workers with occupational exposure to diesel engine exhaust (DEE). Methods: We recruited 124 diesel engine testing workers as DEE exposure group and 112 water pump operator in the same area as control group in Henan province in 2012 using cluster sampling. The demographic data were obtained by questionnaire survey; urine after work and venous blood samples were collected from each subject. The urinary etheno-DNA adducts were detected using UPLC-MS/MS, including 1,N6-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (εdA) and 3,N4-etheno-2'-deoxycytidine(εdC). The DNA methylation levels of P16, RASSF1A, and MGMT were evaluated using bisulfite-pyrosequencing assay. The percentage of methylation was expressed as the 5-methylcytosine (5mC) over the sum of cytosines (%5mC). Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression were applied to analyze the association between etheno-DNA adducts and DNA methylation of P16, RASSF1A, and MGMT. Results: The median (P(25)-P(75)) of urinary εdA level was 230.00 (98.04-470.91) pmol/g creatinine in DEE exposure group, and 102.10 (49.95-194.48) creatinine in control group. The level of εdA was higher in DEE exposure group than control group (P<0.001). DNA methylation levels of P16, RASSF1A and MGMT were 2.04±0.41, 2.19 (1.94-2.51), 2.22 (1.94-2.46)%5mC in exposure group, and 2.19±0.40, 2.41 (2.11-2.67), 2.44 (2.15-2.91)%5mC in control group. DNA methylation levels were lower in exposure group (P values were 0.005, 0.002 and 0.001, respectively). Spearman correlation analysis showed that DNA methylation levels of P16, RASSF1A, and MGMT were negative associated with urinary εdA level (r values were -0.155, -0.137, and -0.198, respectively, P<0.05). No significant correlation was observed between the εdC level and any measured DNA methylation levels (P>0.05) . Multiple linear regression confirmed the negative correlation between εdA and DNA methylation levels of P16, RASSF1A, and MGMT in non-smoking group (β (95%CI) was -0.068 (-0.132--0.003), -0.082 (-0.159--0.004) and -0.048 (-0.090--0.007), P values were 0.039, 0.039 and 0.024, respectively). Moreover, εdC was negative associated with DNA methylation level of MGMT in non-smoking group (β (95%CI) was -0.094 (-0.179--0.008), P=0.032). Conclusion: DEE exposure could induce the increased of εdA and decreased of DNA methylation levels of P16, RASSF1A and MGMT.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway on apoptosis induced by chloroacetic acid in human normal bronchial epithelial 16HBE cells. Methods: 16HBE cells were exposed to 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 mmol/L chloroacetic acid for 24 h in vitro. The cytotoxicity induced by chloroacetic acid was assessed by CCK-8 and LDH assays. Cell apoptosis was detected by Annexin V-FITC and PI staining. The protein expression levels of phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2 and JNK were determined by western blotting. 16HBE cells were pretreated with MAPK signaling pathway specific inhibitors including SB203580, U0126 and SP600125 for 1 h, and these cells were subsequently treated with 2.5 mmol/L chloroacetic acid for 24 h. The expressions of p-p38, p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK as well as the changes of cell viability and apoptosis were measured after pretreated with inhibitors for 1 h. Results: The cell viability by CCK-8 and LDH methods gradually reduced in a dose-dependent manner when chloroacetic acid concentrations elevated (P<0.05) , and their correlation coefficients were -0.902 and -0.825, respectively. The detection efficiency of CCK-8 assay significantly increased compared with LDH assay (P<0.05) . The cell apoptosis rates, which were (17.2±4.0) %, (24.6± 4.2) %, (39.3 ± 5.7) % in 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 mmol/L chloroacetic acid-treated groups, were higher than that of the control group[ (5.6 ± 3.0) %] (P<0.05) . There was a time-or dose-dependent change in the protein expressions of p-p38, p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK. Compared with the control, the levels of p-p38 had 2.1 and 2.6-fold increases in 16 and 24 h treated groups (P<0.01) , while the levels of p-ERK1/2 distinctly decreased by 37% and 52% (P<0.01) . In comparison with the control group, the expressions of p-p38 had 1.9 and 2.6-fold increases in 1.5 and 2.5 mmol/L treatment groups (P<0.01) , whereas the expressions of p-ERK1/2 significantly decreased by 40% and 50% (P<0.01) . No significant change was observed in p-JNK protein expression between the chloroacetic acid-treated and control groups. In comparison with the vehicle control and the exposed group, p-p38, p-ERK1/2, p-JNK protein expressions significantly declined in the inhibitor controls and inhibitor groups. Compared with the controls, the cell survival rates had significant reductions of 28%, 18%, 36% and 26% respectively in chloroacetic acid treated group, SB203580 group, U0126 group and SP600125 group, and the apoptosis rates in the abovementioned groups were 7, 4, 8 and 7 times. Compared with chloroacetic acid-treated group, the cell viability increased by 14% in SB203580 group and decreased by 11% in U0126 group, and the cell apoptosis rates decreased by 36% in SB203580 group and increased by 18% in U0126 group (P<0.05) . But no significant changes were observed in cell viability and apoptosis between SP600125 and chloroacetic acid-treated group. Conclusion: Chloroacetic acid might activate p38 MAPK signaling pathway and inhibit ERK1/2 MAPK signaling pathway. The signaling pathways of p38 and ERK1/2 MAPK are involved in 16HBE cell apoptosis induced by chloroacetic acid, but JNK is not involved in chloroacetic acid-induced 16HBE cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effects of chronic exposure to monochloroacetic acid on the lung function and whole blood counts in occupational exposed workers, and provide new markers for occupational health surveillance. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional molecular epidemiology study of 121 workers who were occupationally exposed to monochloroacetic acid and 69 unexposed workers frequency-matched by age and smoking status from the same geographic region. The lung function was measured by portable lung function instrument, and the lymphocyte subsets were measured by flow cytometry. Linear regression was used to test for differences in the levels of each marker between exposed and control workers. Results: FEV1.0/FVC was significantly decreased in both male and female workers exposed to monochloroacetic acid compared to unexposed workers (P<0.01) after adjusting for potential confounders, which were highly consistent when stratified by smoking status. Among male workers, monochloroacetic acid exposure was associated with significant decrease in the levels of CD8+ T cells (P<0.05) and monocytes (P<0.05) , and these statistically significant differences were observed between exposure and control workers only among smokers, not among non-smokers. However, there were no significant differences in the levels of whole blood cells and lymphocyte subsets between two groups among female workers. Conclusion: The chronic monochloroacetic acid exposure was associated with pulmonary dysfunction and immunosuppression, which mainly occurred among male workers and smokers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of occupational toluene diisocyanate(TDI) exposure on matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1), and analysis of the correlation of MMP-9,TIMP-1,MMP-9/TIMP-1 and lung function. METHODS In October 2014, based on cluster sampling, we conducted a cross-sectional study in a TDI production factory located in China's western region. 61 exposed workers were recruited from workers engaged in packing, operating and checking. Based on different levels of the external exposure, the packers were classified as high exposed group, while operators and checkers as low exposed group. 58 factory managers, matching age and agent, were selected as controls, having same work intense and not contacting the TDI or other allergens. The questionnaire surveys were used to obtain the agent, age, work age, smoking and drinking, personal and family allergic history, occupational history, and the recent health conditions. The levels of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in serum of subjects were determind by ELISA. The time weighted average concentrations (8h-TWA) were used to describe the levels of TDI air exposure in working environment. Spearman correlation assay was used to investigate the correlation of MMP-9, TIMP-1, MMP-9/TIMP-1 and lung function, exposure time. RESULTS 8-hour TWA means of TDI air levels in exposed group, packers, operators and checkers were 0.39, 0.76, 0.25 mg/m(3), respectively . According to the external exposure concentration, the packers were classified as high exposed group, and the operators and checkers were classified as low exposed group. In controls, low exposed group and high exposed group, the levels of MMP-9, respectively, were (807.21±347.70),(586.91±317.50),(388.94±312.01) ng/ml (χ(2)=16.69, P<0.001), respectively, and the P50(P25-P75) of MMP-9/TIMP-1 were 4.67(2.87-6.68), 2.3(1.44-3.48), 1.11(0.59-1.48) (χ(2)=39.42, P<0.001), respectively, and the concentrations of TIMP-1, were (173.44±72.67), (236.12±51.98), (302.81±44.39) ng/ml (F=20.09, P< 0.001), respectively. The levels P50(P25-P75) of FVC, FEV1.0 and FEV1.0/FVC in exposed group were, 92.8% (86.0%-101.8%), 85.5%(76.7%-92.8%), 112.5(108.2-118.5), respectively, which were lower than that in control group (124.3%(107.9%-144.2%), 142.7%(119.1%-155.7%), 129.2(123.5-134))(Z values were 7.70, 8.97, 8.62, and all P<0.001). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that levels of MMP-9 were positively associated with FEV1.0, and FEV1.0/FVC (r values were 0.27, 0.25, respectively, all P<0.05), and The levels of TIMP-1 were negatively associated with FVC, FEV1.0, and FEV1.0/FVC (r valuse were -0.33, -0.39, -0.39, all P<0.05).The levels of MMP-9 were negatively correlated with exposure time(r=-0.26, P=0.040). The positive correlations of MMP-9/TIMP-1 with FVC, FEV1.0, and FEV1.0/FVC were also found (r valuse were 0.34, 0.44, 0.40, all P<0.05). CONCLUSION TDI exposure could induce the downs of MMP-9 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 associated with lung functions. The MMP-9 and MMP-9/TIMP-1,in a way, could reflect the respiratory inflammatory injury caused by TDI exposure.

Abstract
The in-plane resistivity rho and thermal conductivity kappa of the FeAs-based superconductor KFe2As2 single crystal were measured down to 50 mK. We observe non-Fermi-liquid behavior rho(T) approximately T{1.5} at H{c{2}}=5 T, and the development of a Fermi liquid state with rho(T) approximately T{2} when further increasing the field. This suggests a field-induced quantum critical point, occurring at the superconducting upper critical field H{c{2}}. In zero field, there is a large residual linear term kappa{0}/T, and the field dependence of kappa_{0}/T mimics that in d-wave cuprate superconductors. This indicates that the superconducting gaps in KFe2As2 have nodes, likely d-wave symmetry. Such a nodal superconductivity is attributed to the antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations near the quantum critical point.

Abstract
This paper addresses the proposition, first advanced by Wilson (1925), that successful embryogenesis depends on an ordered series of events in oogenesis. It is at the completion of this varied set of intracellular changes that the oocyte finally acquires its full capacity to support fertilisation and development. Amongst the earliest nuclear events are those associated with chromosome pairing and meiotic recombination. During the growth phase cell volume increases 300-fold and the cytoplasm becomes the storage site for RNA and protein which will be mobilised during early development. Finally, a short phase of intracellular reprogramming, or maturation, completes the series of events during oogenesis that confer developmental competence upon the oocyte. Follicle cell support is an indispensable requirement for ordered oocyte development and provides the early germline cell with many of the essential nutrients and growth regulators required to ensure progression through the protracted growth phase (see contributions by Cecconi & Rosella and De Feliciet al.this issue). Although different, the interactions between the full-grown oocyte and the antral follicle are no less crucial to the acquisition of competence than those involved in the earlier stages of oogenesis.

Abstract
Double-copy retroviral vector containing human factor IX cDNA driven by human cytomegalovirus enhancer-promoter was constructed. The vector was introduced into the amphotropic packaging cell line PA317. The recombinant virus produced in PA317 was used to transduce skin fibroblasts from a hemophilia B patient. The infected cells produced high levels of biologically active human factor IX at a rate of 3420 ng/10(6) cells/24 h. These cells were embedded in a collagen matrix and implanted into the peritoneal cavity or subcutaneous space of mice. It was demonstrated that human factor IX was produced by the implants for at least 12 days in vivo, reaching a peak of 105 ng/ml plasma. Over 90% of the protein was functionally active. This technique has the potential to be developed into a new approach for gene therapy for hemophilia B.

Abstract
To study the possibility of somatic gene therapy for hemophilia B via gene transfer to primary factor IX-deficient skin fibroblasts, we constructed four retroviral vectors containing factor IX cDNA driven by retroviral LTR promoter, SV40 early promoter and mouse MT-I promoter, respectively. These retroviral vectors were transfected into an amphotropic packaging cell line, PA317 cells, by electroporation, and a human fibrosarcoma cell line, HT1080 cells, was used to assay the factor IX-virus titers of these four virus-producing PA317 cells, which ranged from 2 x 10(4) to 5 x 10(5) cfu/ml. The factor IX proteins produced by bulk population of four virus-producing PA317 cells were determined by ELISA. Results showed that LTR promoter directed the highest production of factor IX at the rate of 584 ng/10(6) cells/24 h, while SV40 early promoter and MT promoter directed about 10 and 20 times less production of factor IX than LTR promoter. The highest expressed retroviral vector XL-IX was used to infect a line of factor IX-deficient human primary skin fibroblasts, FDIX cells. The factor IX secretion rate of the infected FDIX cells was about 549 ng/10(6) cells/24 h and over 75% of secreted factor IX was biologically active. We are convinced that this factor IX-deficient human primary skin fibroblast had been cured, or genetically corrected, by retroviral-mediated gene therapy in vitro.

Abstract
NAD is the substrate of a novel chromatin-associated enzyme-ADP-ribosyl transferase (ADPRT). In this study, the cell-cycle dependent change in cellular NAD content was observed in a line of human amnion FL cells. It was found that the cellular NAD content of FL cells was highest in G1 and lowest in S/G2-G2. 3AB, a potent ADPRT inhibitor, can inhibit the cell cycle dependent change in cellular NAD content and also inhibit DNA synthesis in the S phase and extend the S phase. The results indicate that ADP-ribosylation may be involved in DNA replication and cell cycle progression. It was also found that the DNA-damaging agents, MNNG, MMS and 4NQO could lower cellular NAD content in a dose-dependent way. This DNA-damage-induced NAD lowering could be partially or completely prevented by the ADPRT inhibitors, 3AB or nicotinamide, which were shown to exert no influence on either the cellular NAD content of normal quiescent FL cells or the metabolic blocking agent, 2,4-DNP-induced cellular NAD lowering. The possibility of establishing a simple and specific method to detect DNA-damaging agents by measuring cellular NAD content in the presence or absence of ADPRT inhibitor is explored.
