ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the feasibility and validity of Satir model on compulsory drug rehabilitation for female drug users in closed settings. Methods Satir Model-based group psychotherapy was adopted in the treatment on 33 female drug users. Results The findings are that the pre-treatment SCL-90 scores were all higher than norm,indicating very high significant differences(P＜0.01) ; while the post-treatment SCL-90 scores,except the score of somatization, were approximate to norm, showing no statistical differences(P ＞0. 05). Conclusion Satir model played a positive role in the process of female drug users mental health recovery.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to construct the complete genome of Marek's disease virus serotype 814 strain as an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC). Using self-designed selection marker Eco-gpt (1.3 kb) and BAC vector pBeloBAC11 (7.5 kb), we constructed the transfer plasmid pUAB-gpt-BAC11. The plasmid pUAB-gpt-BAC11 and MDV total-DNA were cotransfected into secondary CEFs; we put the virus-containing cells in selection medium for eight rounds and obtained purified recombinant viruses. Recombinant viral genomes were extracted and electroporated into E. coli, BAC clones were identified by restriction enzyme digestion and PCR analysis. Finally, we obtained 38 BAC clones, DNA from various MDV-1 BACs was transfected into CEFs, and recombinant virus was reconstituted by transfection of MDV-BAC2 DNA. We successfully cloned the complete genome of MDV-1814 strain as an infectious bacterial artificial chromosome. With these cloned genomes, a revolutionary MDV-DNA engineering platform utilizing RED/ET recombination system was constructed successfully, which can help the understanding of MDV gene functions and promote the using of MDV as a vector for expressing foreign genes. In addition, it opens the possibility to generate novel MDV-1 vaccines based on the BACs.

Improving expression of antigen is critical to the immunogenicity of DNA vaccines. To achieve this goal, we modified the NDV F48E9 strain HN gene by optimizing the condon usage and inserting the secretary leader sequence [A/Goose/Guangdong/1/96 (H5N1) HA gene, Accession No. AF144305]. The HN gene modified and knocked the signal peptide off were named SoptiHN and optiHN. The three sequence: SoptiHN, optiHN and the NDV F48E9 strain HN gene were inserted into the vector pVAX1 and vector pVAX1-CpG including CpG-ODN sequence respectively. Then we got six recombinant plasmids: pV-SoptiHN, pVC-SoptiHN, pV-optiHN, pVC-optiHN, pV-HN and pVC-HN. By optimizing condon usage in transiently transfected 293T cells, expression levels of HN gene were higher from the codon-optimized gene than the counterpart. Moreover, both optimization of condon usage and addition of signal peptide could improve expression of HN gene in vitro.
