ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To clone the full-length gene encoding succinate dehydrogenase iron-sulfur protein of Schistosoma japonicum (SjSDISP) Chinese strain and express it in Escherichia coli.@*METHODS@#According to the published incomplete EST (BU804141) of SjSDISP and the sequence of multiclone sites of lambda gt11 vector, 2 pairs of primers were designed and synthesized. Then the 3' and 5'ends of the EST of the SjSDISP from adult Schistosoma japonicum cDNA library were amplified by anchored PCR. After sequencing, a full-length cDNA sequence of the SjSDISP was obtained, and then it was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1. Identified by agarosed gel electrophoresis, endonucleases digestion and PCR, the resultant recombinant plasmid was used for the expression under the temperature-dependent condition and Western blot analysis.@*RESULTS@#A 1,071 bp sequence was obtained. Sequence analysis showed that the fragment contained a complete open reading frame (ORF), encoding 278 amino acid residues. This target fragment was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-1, and expressed in Escherichia coli. SDS-PAGE revealed that the molecular weight of the expressed fusion recombinant product was 56 kD. Western blot showed that the recombinant protein was recognized by polyclonal rabbit antiserum immunized with Schistosoma japonicum adult worm antigen.@*CONCLUSION@#Cloning of the full-length gene encoding SjSDISP and its bacterial expression were successfully done.

@#Rehabilitation is very important to the therapeutic effect of total knee arthroplasty, and it's also the key measure for the knee function to reach the expected effect after the surgery. The most important contents of rehabilitation therapies are the training of muscle strength, range of joint motion, joint position sense and gait. Integrated rehabilitation therapies was used to improve the knee function as possible, such as all kinds of training to improve the knee muscle strength of flex and extend; early training of continued positive motion of knee joint to improve the knee range of motion; the training of knee joint position sense to improve the ability of motion control, posture adjusting and balance keeping; the gait training to adjust the unusual gait.
