Establishment of a method for gene complementation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus / 南方医科大学学报

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a method for gene complementation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus using the plasmid pBAD33.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The entire coding region of opaR or aphA was amplified by PCR and cloned into pBAD33. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into δopaR and δaphA (the opaR or aphA null mutant strain, respectively) separately to construct the complemented mutant strain C-δaphA and C-δopaR, respectively. RT-PCR was used to verify the transcription of opaR and aphA in the corresponding complemented mutant strains. Primer extension experiments were performed to determine the relative mRNA levels of mfpA (a gene previously characterized to be negatively regulated by AphA and positively by OpaR) in the wild-type strain, δopaR, δaphA, C-δaphA, and C-δopaR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>opaR and aphA were transcribed in the corresponding complemented mutant strains, and their mRNA levels were comparable to those detected in the wild-type strains.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>A method has been established for gene complementation in Vibrio parahaemolyticus using the plasmid pBAD33.</p>

Therapeutic effect of Marvelon on adenomysis / 中国基层医药

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Marvelon on treatment of adenomyosis.Methods A total of 42 women with adenomyosis were recruited in the study.They were given Marvelon on the first day of menstruation,1 piece,qd,continouly for 21 days.With an alternation of seven days a new cycle begins.There are 6 cycles in total.We observe their degree of dysmenorrheal,menstrual blood volume(MBV) ,hemoglobin and the volume of uterus before and after Marvelon used.Results After 6 months,the dysmenorrheal remitted obviously,the score decline from (8.51±1.73 ) to (0.62±0.70) ,P <0.01.The MBV reduced and hemoglobin rise distinctly ,before treatment Hb is (104.71±12.09) while (112.00±8.57)after therapy,P <0.01.After treatment the volume of uterus shrinks a little, but not significant(P > 0.05).Conclusion Marvelon is an effective drug in treatment of adenomyosis in the near future,and is cheap,convcnieat.
