ABSTRACT
Objective To study the changes of cerebral haemodynamics in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE) treated with Shengmai injection compared with citicoline,and explore the clinical interventions of Shengmai injection on HIE.Methods Fifty patients with HIE were randomized into 2 groups: shengmai group treated with Shengmai injection(n=30),and citicoline group treated with citicoline(n=20).The haemodynamic parameters included peak systolic flow velocity(PSFV),end-diastolic flow velocity(EDFV),pulsation index(PI) and resistance index(RI) of anterior and middle cerebral artery were detected by color Doppler ultrasound before treatment and on 7~(th) day after treatment respectively.Control group(n=50) compared with the two groups.Results PSFV,PDFV and RI of HIE patients were significantly lower than those of control group(P
ABSTRACT
To construct, express and purify fusion protein containing HBcAg and HBsAg preS1 epitope peptide for the purpose of investigating a novel HBV vaccine with both prophylactic and therapeutic functions. Using DNA recombinant technology, prokaryotic expression plasmid pBTcs1 expressing HBcAg and HBsAg pre-S1 epitope peptide fusion protein was constructed. After expressed in E.coli. HB101, the production BTcs1 was purified by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation and identified by SDS-PAGE, SEC, Western-blot and electron microscope. The results indicated that expression plasmid pBTcs1 was constructed successfully, and 20~25 mg purified BTcs1 fusion protein was obtained from 1L LB culture. Result of DOT-BLOT indicated that the distribution of BTcs1 was mainly in 30~50% sucrose, the purity of BTcs1 was greater than 95% by SDS-PAGE and SEC analysis. BTcs1 could probe with specific antibodies at 28 kDa by Western-blot, BTcs1 could also self assemble VLP by electron microscope analysis, its diameter was 30~34 nm approximately. The present study lay a foundation for further research functions and applications of BTcs1.
