Knocking out Lpp gene of E.coli CLM37 strain and extracellular production of N -glycosylated recombinant proteins / 上海交通大学学报（医学版）

Objective • To construct the E.coli CLM37 strain with Lpp gene deletion and to study the production of N-glycosylated recombinant proteins in this E.coli strain. Methods • Firstly, Red homologous recombination system was used to knock out the Lpp gene from the genome of E.coli CLM37. And then, the growth curve was detected to study the effects of deleted Lpp gene on the growth states of E.coli strain. Finally, the vector pIG6-rFn3-Gly which expresses receptor protein and the vector pACYCpgl, which carries N-glycosylation gene cluster that derives from Campylobacter jejuni, were co-transformed into E.coli CLM37ΔLpp to investigate the extracellular production of N-glycosylated recombinant proteins. Results • The E. coli CLM37ΔLpp with Lpp gene deletion was obtained, and the extracellular production of N-glycosylated rFn3-Gly was successfully achieved in this strain. Compared with E. coli CLM37, the total amount of rFn3-Gly produced via extracellular production of E. coli CLM37ΔLpp increased about 4 times, and the glycosylation efficiency increased about 6 times. Conclusion • N-glycosylated rFn3-Gly was successfully produced via extracellular production in E. coli CLM37ΔLpp, and the production of interest glycoprotein and the glycosylation efficiency were improved.

Analysis of results of Assessment on National Parasitic Disease Control and Prevention Techniques in 2015 / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To assess the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of parasitic diseases among technicians from disease control and prevention institutions. Methods The Assessment on National Parasitic Disease Control and Prevention Techniques was organized in September,2015. Together,124 subjects from disease control and prevention institutions at prov-ince,prefecture or county levels in 31 provinces joined the assessment. A database was built consisting of subjects'basic infor-mation and assessment scores. Statistical analysis was used to analyze the scores by gender,age,professional title,institutions and places of participants. Results The average total score of all the subjects was 123.3,with a passing rate of 57.3%. The av-erage scores of male subjects(48 subjects)and female subjects(76 subjects)were 125.9 and 121.7 respectively;the average scores of the subjects aged under 30 years(57 subjects),between 30 and 40 years(61 subjects)and above 40 years(6 sub-jects)were 119.6,128.1 and 111.2 respectively;the average scores of persons with junior(94 subjects),intermediate(28 sub-jects)and senior(2 subjects)professional titles were 119.2,135.9 and 140.5 respectively. The average theoretical assessment score of all the subjects was 61.9,with a passing rate of 62.9%. The average practical skill assessment score of all the subjects was 61.4,with a passing rate of 58.1%. Conclusions The theoretical assessment results range widely. The theoretical knowl-edge results of technicians from disease control and prevention institutions are low in general. Therefore ,the specific training based on daily work needs to be enhanced.

Study on value of IHA in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To evaluate the value of indirect hemagglutination test(IHA)in schistosomiasis diagnosis. Meth?ods The literature concerned schistosomiasis diagnosis with IHA in the databases of Medline,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang Data from 1982 to 2014 was collected and evaluated. Results Totally 21 articles which were satisfied with the research criteria were analyzed with the Meta?analysis method. The IHA method had high value in schistosomiasis diagnosis,the AUCSROC of IHA in laboratory evaluation was 0.990 6,while in filed evaluation was 0.832 9,and the difference between them was significant(Z=4.50,P<0.05). Conclusion The diagnosis value of IHA in field evaluation is less than that in laboratory. In the process of the elimination of schistosomiasis,developing a new and higher sensitive reagent in schistosomiasis diagnosis is needed.

Analysis of endemic changes of schistosomiasis in China from 2002 to 2010 / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

Objective To provide the reference for schistosomiasis control through analyzing the changes of endemic status of schistosomiasis in China in recent years. Methods The annual data of schistosomiasis prevention and control from 2002 to 2012 were collected, and the descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the changes of schistosomiasis endemic status. Re?sults Sichuan, Yunan and Jiangxi provinces reached the criteria of transmission controlled from 2002 to 2010 while Hubei, Hu?nan, Jiangxi and Anhui provinces reached the criteria of infection controlled in 2008. The number of counties where the trans?mission of schistosomiasis was controlled decreased from 110 in 2002 to 80 in 2010. The numbers of estimated schistosomiasis cases and reported acute cases fell from 810.4 thousands and 913 in 2002 to 325.8 thousands and 43 in 2010, respectively, and they were reduced by 59.79%and 95.40%respectively. The number of infected bovine went down from 23 199 in 2002 to 7 173 in 2010, with a fall of 69.03%. However, the Oncomelania hupensis snails breeding areas kept in 3.7 to 3.8 billion m2 and among which, 125 million m2 areas were newly discovered in non?endemic areas during the nine years. In 2010, 90%of schistosomiasis cases, acute cases, infected bovine, and snail breeding areas were concentrated in 5 provinces, especially in the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake areas and the regions along the Yangtze River. Conclusions The epidemic of schistosomiasis decreased sig?nificantly from 2002 to 2010. The lake regions are the key and tough areas for schistosomiasis prevention and control. To consoli?date the achievements, the surveillance and case management need to be strengthened as the extension of snail breeding areas and acute cases reported from other places becomes common.

Study of protective effect of erigeron injection on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury / 中国生化药物杂志

Objective To investigate the protective effect of breviscapine on ischemia-reperfusion renal injury, which provides scientific theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Method 36 SPF male healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, 12 rats in each group. Group A was ischemia-reperfusion group, group B was erigeron breviscapus injection preconditioning group, and group C was sham operation group. Rats in group A and C were injected with normal saline, while rats in group B were given 12 ml/kg erigeron breviscapus injection by intraperitoneal injection., After 14 days, renal function, renal antioxidant indexes, renal cell apoptosis indexes and expression of Bcl-2, Bax in renal tissue of three groups were compared. Results The indexes of renal function showed that blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and Serum creatinine (SCr) in group B were significantly lower than group A (P<0.05), but significantly higher than group C (P<0.05). Renal antioxidant indexes showed that superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in group B were significantly higher than group A (P<0.05), but significantly lower than group C(P<0.05). The index of renal cell apoptosis showed that the apoptosis index AI in group B was significantly lower than group A (P<0.01), but significantly higher than group C (P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the expression of Bcl-2 in group B were significantly higher than that of group A and group C (P<0.05), and the expression of Bax in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05) while significantly higher than group C (P<0.01). The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax in group B was significantly higher than group A and group C (P<0.05). Conclusion Erigeron Breviscapus Injection may have a protective role on renal ischemia reperfusion injury though antioxidant and anti-apoptosis.
