RESUMO
Staphylococcal nuclease A (SNA) may be used to produce bacterial ghosts for further inactivation of host bacteria and elimination of residual genetic materials. It is still controversial if SNA without signal peptide can be secreted to extracellular matrix and if fusion with other peptide is required for its function in the cytoplasm of host bacteria. To clarify this dispute, a series of temperature-inducible plasmids carrying SNA alone or SNA fused with partial sequences of λ phage cro gene (cSNA) or Mycobacterium tuberculosis urease gene (uSNA) were constructed and evaluated in Escherichia coli. Results show that the percentages of inactivated E. coli by SNA, cSNA and uSNA after 4 h of induction were 99.9%, 99.8% and 74.2%, respectively. Moreover, SNA and cSNA in the cytoplasm of host bacteria were initially detectable after 30 min of induction, whereas uSNA was after 1 h. In comparison, SNA and cSNA in culture supernatant were initially detectable 1 h later, whereas uSNA was 2 h later. The nuclease activity in the cytoplasm or supernatant was ranked as follows: SNA > cSNA > uSNA, and the activity in the supernatant was significantly lower than that in the cytoplasm. Furthermore, host genomic DNA was degraded by SNA or cSNA after 2 h of induction but not by uSNA even throughout the whole experiment. In conclusion, this study indicates that SNA, cSNA and uSNA expressed in host bacteria all have nuclease activity, the enzymes can be released to culture media, and fusion with exogenous peptide negatively reduces the nuclease activity of SNA.

The aim of this systematic review was to identify and characterize articles in indexed scientific journals with quantitative data surveys on administrative or legal proceedings for access to medicines. The SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases were used. We identified 45 articles, of which 17 were selected. The larger studies, each covering between 2,000 and 2,927 lawsuits, were done in the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Santa Catarina, Brazil. Eleven studies specified the type of legal representation, of which six examined cases with public attorneys and five with private attorneys. Only two studies reported whether the lawsuit was individual or class action, and in both the claims were individual. Since the majority of the medicines requested in the lawsuits were medium to high-cost, the review indicates that lawsuits contributed to the incorporation of these drugs into current pharmaceutical care in Brazil.
El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática fue identificar y caracterizar los artículos disponibles en revistas científicas indexadas en bases de datos electrónicas, que llevaron a cabo un estudio cuantitativo de datos, procedimientos administrativos o judiciales sobre la cuestión del acceso a los medicamentos a través de demandas judiciales. Los estudios fueron localizados en las bases de datos SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE vía PubMed, Embase, Scopus. Se identificaron 45 artículos, de los cuales se seleccionaron 17. Los estudios que se llevaron a cabo engloban de 2.000 a 2.927 procesos judiciales en São Paulo, Río de Janeiro y Santa Catarina, Brasil. En once estudios se realizaron encuestas a los representantes legales de la acción judicial. En seis estudios predominó la representación pública legal y en cinco abogados privados. Sólo dos estudios examinaron si la acción era individual o colectiva y en los dos hubo prevalencia de acciones individuales. Como la mayoría de los medicamentos estaba involucrada en acciones legales de medio y alto coste, se cree que las demandas han contribuido a la incorporación de fármacos en la política pública actual.
O objetivo desta revisão sistemática foi identificar e caracterizar artigos disponíveis em periódicos científicos indexados em bases eletrônicas, que realizaram levantamento de dados quantitativo, em processos administrativos ou judiciais, sobre a questão do acesso a medicamentos por meio de ações judiciais. Foram usadas as bases de dados SciELO, LILACS, MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase e Scopus. Identificamos 45 artigos, dos quais foram selecionados 17 artigos. Os estudos com faixa de 2.000 a 2.927 processos foram conduzidos em São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Santa Catarina, Brasil. Em 11 estudos foram pesquisadas qual a representação jurídica da ação. Em seis estudos predominaram a representação de advogados públicos e em cinco particulares. Somente dois estudos observaram se a ação era coletiva ou individual, sendo que nas duas pesquisas a prevalência era de ações individuais. Como a maioria dos medicamentos envolvidos nas ações é de médio e alto custo, acredita-se que as demandas judiciais tenham contribuído para incorporação de medicamentos nas ações de assistência farmacêutica atuais.

The present study evaluated electrocardiographic alterations in rats with epilepsy submitted to an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model induced by cardiac ischemia and reperfusion. Rats were randomly divided into two groups: control (n=12) and epilepsy (n=14). It was found that rats with epilepsy presented a significant reduction in atrioventricular block incidence following the ischemia and reperfusion procedure. In addition, significant alterations were observed in electrocardiogram intervals during the stabilization, ischemia, and reperfusion periods of rats with epilepsy compared to control rats. It was noted that rats with epilepsy presented a significant increase in the QRS interval during the stabilization period in relation to control rats (P<0.01). During the ischemia period, there was an increase in the QRS interval (P<0.05) and a reduction in the P wave and QT intervals (P<0.05 for both) in rats with epilepsy compared to control rats. During the reperfusion period, a significant reduction in the QT interval (P<0.01) was verified in the epilepsy group in relation to the control group. Our results indicate that rats submitted to an epilepsy model induced by pilocarpine presented electrical conductivity alterations of cardiac tissue, mainly during an AMI episode.

Objective To analyze the determinants of emergency contraception non-use among women in unplanned and ambivalent pregnancies. Method Cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of 366 pregnant women from 12 primary health care units in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. A multinomial logistic regression was performed, comparing three groups: women who used emergency contraception to prevent ongoing pregnancies (reference); women who made no use of emergency contraception, but used other contraceptive methods; and women who made no use of any contraceptive methods at all. Results Cohabitation with a partner was the common determinant of emergency contraception non-use. No pregnancy risk awareness, ambivalent pregnancies and no previous use of emergency contraception also contributed to emergency contraception non-use. Conclusion Apart from what is pointed out in the literature, knowledge of emergency contraception and the fertile period were not associated to its use. .

Bacterial ghost is intact envelope of Gram-negative bacteria, which is produced by the function of the lysis gene E from bacteriophage PhiX174. The expression of the lysis gene E is usually controlled by the thermosensitive lambdapL/pR-cI857 promoter. In this study, we described a mutation (T --> C) at the ninth nucleotide of the OR2 in the lambdapR promoter of the lambdapL/pR-cI857 system by overlap PCR. The bacteriolytic assay showed that the mutation in the lambdapL/pR-cI857 system enhanced the temperature of repressing the expression of gene E up to 37 degrees C. The lysis efficiency of altered lambdapR promoter in Escherichia coli DH5a and avian pathogenic E. coli DE17 was up to 99.9%. The expanded range of temperature will benefit for the production of bacterial ghost.

To achieve efficient and stable expression of heterologous exogenetic protein or antigen in E. coli chromosome, the luciferase report gene was knocked in lacZ site of chromosome lac operon by using Red recombination system and selection-counterselection kan/sacB technology. The quantitative analysis of exogenous gene expression indicated that the target gene could be efficiently expressed at lacZ site of lac operon. The results confirmed the efficient screening and stable expression of heterologous protein or antigen on chromosome by using the recombinant engineering technique. This study demonstrated that the chromosome could be used as a vector for heterologous protein or antigen and the stable expression of exogenous gene on E. coli chromosome had no side effect on the bacterial growth and propagation.

Recombineering, a new genetic engineering technology based on high efficiency in vivo homologous recombination, can be used in target DNA knock-in, knock-out and gene cloning. In the process of gene subcloning mediated by Recombineering technique, high-quality target DNA fragments were difficult to obtain using in vitro overlapping PCR,therefore the efficiency of in vivo homologous recombination was severely interrupted. To solve this problem, some technology improvements have been established based on the principle of Red recombinases. The PCR DNA fragments of egfp and kan genes with complementary sequences on the end of each fragment were co-introduced into a pcDNA3.1 vector and Red recombinases containing E. coli DY331 host cells by electroporation. A recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-egfp-kan was screened directly by antibiotic marker. The positive rates can reach to 45%. The EGFP gene expression of pcDNA3.1-egfp-kan can be observed by transient transfection of 293 eukaryotic cells.

BmNPV bacmid constructed recently and Red recombinant system were used to rapidly disrupted Bombyx monri nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) orf60 in Escherichia coli (E. coli) BW25113. BmNPV bacmid isolated from E. coli BmDH10Bac was electroporated into E. coli BW25113, which harbors plasmid pKD46 encoding lamda Red recombinase,to produce E. coli BW25113-Bac, which could be used for gene deletion of BmNPV. A linear fragment was amplified by PCR from plasmid pKD3 (containing a chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene cat) using a pair of primers with length of 63bp,which had 45 bp homologous to the orf60 gene and 18bp homologous to cat sequences. The linear fragment was electroporated into E. coli BW25113-Bac and homologous recombination occurred between the linear fragment and orf60 with the help of lamda Red recombinase. Three specific primer pairs were used to confirm the replacement of orf60 by cat gene. Western blot analysis showed that orf60 was not expressed in BmN cells infected with knockout bacmid.

The study of human new gene's function has become an increasingly active academic field basically relying on the gene knockout (KO) mouse. The construction of targeting vector economically and efficiently has turned into the key step to acquire a KO mouse because of the low efficiency of recombination with traditional constructed targeting vector. For study of the function of new gene-Resp18, we brought in a new DNA engineering platform-Red/ET recombination to construct Resp18 targeting vector. Red/ET recombineering differs from the conventional ways of vector construction (e.g., PCR, restriction enzyme digestion and ligation) and achieves genetic modification by acquisition, insertion, fusion or replacement of the target gene through small fragments mediated homologous recombination. Now Resp18 targeting vectors of three strategies were yielded successfully through two homologous recombination processes of retrieve and neo-targeting. Red/ET recombination has the advantage of getting longer homology regions without mutation, which makes it a new and reliable alternative to the construction of a targeting vector today.

pBR322-Red is a newly constructed recombineering plasmid, which contains a part of the pBR322 vector, a series of regulatory elements of lambda-prophage and Red recombination genes. In the beginning, we studied the best working conditions of pBR322-Red, and then modified lac operon in E. coli W3110 chromosome using the plasmid as follow: Firstly, we knockout the lacI gene using Red-mediated recombineering with overlapping single stranded DNA oligonucleotides. Secondly, we substituded the lacA and lacY genes with lacZ, a report gene, by Red-mediated linearized double strands DNA homologous recombination. Finally, we detected the expression of lacZ on these loci for the first time. The results suggested that pBR322-Red system is suitable for modifying W3110 chromosome with various recombination strategies.

Red/ET recombination, a powerful homologous recombination system based on the Red operon of lambda phage or RecE/ RecT from Rac phage, provides an innovative approach for DNA engineering. Deletion, insertion and mutation can be quickly and precisely performed on the target gene mediated by Red/ET recombination with PCR derived DNA fragments or oligonucleotides. This technical platform has extensive applications in biomedical field including bacterial artificial chromosome modification, gene knock-out construction and genetic modification of E. coli strains as well as some other kinds of microorganisms. Recently, Red/ET recombination was improved in several aspects so that it becomes more powerful and maneuverable. The characteristic and development of Red/ET recombination and its biomedical applications were described in this review.

A new neo/E counterselection technique was set up using Red recombination, which could be used in constructing recombinant plasmid. Firstly, linear targeting cassettes were amplified by PCR; secondly, two steps of homology recombination occurred in vivo: (1) The neo/E counterselection targeting cassette, consisting of a unique endonuclease recognition site and an antibiotic resistance gene, was introduced into the targeted region. (2) The neo/E cassette was replaced in the second round of recombination by another linear targeting cassettes DNA fragment carrying the targeted gene. For selecting a correct recombinant plasmid from the mixture of nonrecombinant and recombinant clones, the unique endonuclease recognition site in the nonrecombinant clones was cut by endonuclease and then transformed into the E. coli competent cells, up to 20% correct recombinants were yielded. A recombinant plasmid of pGL3-Basic PC1900T was successfully constructed in this way. Application of this technique offers a new and highly efficient way for recombinant plasmids construction.

The lambdaZAP II expressed genomic library of B. pseudomallei was screened with pooled melioidosis serum preabsorbed with E. coli host cell. The positive clones were detected by using protein A-CDP-star chemiluminescence. All of 14 positive clones reacted with only the pooled absorbed melioidosis serum and not the pooled absorbed normal serum when tested with the plaque dot blot analysis. The expressed genes were detected by using a combination of immunoscreening, bioinformatics and molecular biology. At least six in vivo expressed genes were identified by this approach. Two were well known virulent genes, gmhA (a capsule biosynthetic gene) and bipD (type III secretion protein gene). Another two were genes coded for conserved hypothetical protein. The last two isolated genes were groEL (a chaperonine protein gene), and a gene encoding transmembrane protein.

Hydantoinase can be widely used in enzymic production of various amino acids. In order to obtain the hydantoinase genes in Arthrobacter BT801, its chromatosomal DNA is isolated and partialy digested with Sau3A I to collect fragments of about 30kb. Then, this fragment is inserted into the Hpa I and Pst I site of cosmid pKC505. The genomic library was thus constructed by packing in vitro with lambda phage package protein and transfecting E. coli DH5alpha. A positive transformant was selected from the library using thin layer chromatography and other methods. A DNA fragment containing complete hydantoinase genes was sequenced by sub-cloning into pUC18. The gene can express active protein under control of its own promoter and T5 promoter in E. coli. The isolation of the gene established foundition for research and application of the hydantoinase.

Lambda DNA terminase, the enzyme that cleaves virion-length chromosomes from multigenomic concatemers and packages them into the bacteriophage head, is composed of two subunits, gpNu1 and gpA. Direct determination of the structure of gpNu1, the smaller subunit, has not been possible because of its insolubility in aqueous solutions. Therefore, to identify smaller and potentially water-soluble domains of gpNu1, we analyzed the nature of the products obtained by limited digestion of the protein with several proteases. The gpNu1 subunit was obtained from E. coli cells transfected with the plasmid pH6-Nu1 that overproduces the protein. Incubation of gpNu1 solubized in 2.5 M guanidinium chloride with chymotrypsin resulted in the formation of at least eight discrete protein bands, while treatment with endoproteinase glu-C and bromelain yielded three and one major bands, respectively. The peptides generated by digestion with the various proteases were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and transferred to Immobilon membranes. Amino acid sequencing of the peptides allowed for the precise assignment of their N-terminal amino acid, while their estimated molecular weights permitted the identification of their C-terminal ends. The results reveal that in the presence of 2.5 M guanidinium chloride, gpNu1 is partially folded in at least four distinct structural domains that correspond to functional domains as determined by previously reported genetic experiments. This information is key to design new plasmids to overproduce these domains for further structural analysis.

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been described to detect and measure the antibodies in O. mykiss against a lambda bacteriophage antigen (strain c1187 Sam7). Antibodies were first detected six days after the first intraperitoneal injection and by day 21 all fish were positive. Maximum mean titres were detected on day 30 (3 days after the second injection). The mean titre declined by day 33 which was 6 days after second injection and remained constant from day 39 to day 45. The results suggest that immune response in a rainbow trout occurred faster and the fish were able to mount a very good response to viruses.

Nitrofurantoin induced prophage-lambda in E. coli K12 strain GY5027(lambda) in a dose dependent manner, the maximum induction being 10-fold the spontaneous induction level and the maximum efficiency of induction 74%. The lever extract used as a metabolizing mixture enhanced the induction level significantly. Chloramphenicol at a concentration of 20 micrograms/ml inhibited the prophage induction by nitrofurantoin, indicating that the induction required concomitant protein synthesis. Butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) and sodium arsenite enhanced the nitrofurantoin induced prophage-lambda induction in E. coli GY 5027(lambda) cells in a dose dependent manner. The maximum modulations in induction level (I/Io) were achieved with 100 micrograms/ml BHT and 250 micrograms/ml sodium arsenite corresponding to a nitrofurantoin concentration of 15 micrograms/ml and were found significant on statistical analysis. alpha-tocopherol, however, did not produce any effect on the prophage-lambda induction by nitrofurantoin.
