Construction of Palm Shengjing Hospital App and its application in infection outpatient department / 医疗卫生装备

Objective To build a Palm Shengjing Hospital App to provide outpatients with convenient,intelligent and efficient informatized medical service.Methods The App was established based on smart phone,and after real-name registration the patient could execute appointment registration,queuing,mobile payment,report reading,hospital navigation and etc with the App.Results The App facilitated the patient in registration,queuing,payment,obtaining examination results and etc,and thus gained high patient satisfaction.Conclusion The App decreases the waiting time,optimizes the outpatient flow and increases the patient satisfaction.

Single-molecule detection and characterization of DNA replication based on DNA origami / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate single-molecule detection and characterization of DNA replication.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) as the template of DNA replication was attached to DNA origami by a hybridization reaction based on the complementary base-pairing principle. DNA replication catalyzed by E.coli DNA polymerase I Klenow Fragment (KF) was detected using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The height variations between the ssDNA and the double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), the distribution of KF during DNA replication and biotin-streptavidin (BA) complexes on the DNA strand after replication were detected. Agarose gel electrophoresis was employed to analyze the changes in the DNA after replication.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The designed ssDNA could be anchored on the target positions of over 50% of the DNA origami. The KF was capable of binding to the ssDNA fixed on DNA origami and performing its catalytic activities, and was finally dissociated from the DNA after replication. The height of DNA strand increased by about 0.7 nm after replication. The addition of streptavidin also resulted in an DNA height increase to about 4.9 nm due to the formation of BA complexes on the biotinylated dsDNA. The resulting dsDNA and BA complex were subsequently confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The combination of AFM and DNA origami allows detection and characterization of DNA replication at the single molecule level, and this approach provides better insights into the mechanism of DNA polymerase and the factors affecting DNA replication.</p>
