Objective To study the relationship of accumulated dose of anthracycline(ANTH) with the cTnT level in acute leukemia patients. Methods The cTnT levels and the accumulated dose of anthracycline (ANTH) of 88 acute leukemia patients who were treated with anthracycline in our hospital from 2004-2009 who were treated with anthracycline. All the patients were divided into two groups according to a certain cTnT level,and the each incidence of elevated cTnT was obtained. Results 8 of 37 patients who received ≥200 mg/m2 of ANTH versus 1 of 51 patients who received <200 mg/m2 of ANTH had a higher incidence of elevated cTnT (P <0.05). Conclusion Incidence of elevated cTnT increases when the ANTH reaches the certain dose.

Objective To explore prokaryotic expression,purification of hemolysin coregulatory protein(Hcp)of Vibrio cholerae,and preparation of its polyclonal antibodies.Methods PCR was used to amplify Vibrio cholerae Hcp gene and clone it into pET28a vector to construct recombinant expression vector.The recombinant vector pET28a-hcp was transformed into E.coil BL21(DE3)for expression condition optimization and expression form identification.The soluble Hcp protein was purified by Ni-NTA column.The purified Hcp protein was used to immunize BALB/c mice to prepare polyclonal antibodies.The antibody titer was detected by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)to evaluate its immunogenicity.Western blot was used to analyze the specific recognition of antibodies to Hcp protein in Vibrio cholerae.Results The enzyme fragment digested by recombinant vector pET28a-hcp was consistent with the expected,the sequencing results were consistent with the Hcp gene sequence in the GenBank database,and the pET28a-hcp recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed.The recombinant plasmid was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG)to express the target protein with a relative molecular weight of 28 kD.The pure Hcp protein was obtained after purification by Ni-NTA column,and then Hcp polyclonal antibody(anti-Hcp)with a titer of 1∶512 000 could be obtained from immunized mice.Western blot results showed that anti-Hcp had specificity in recognizing Hcp protein in Vibrio cholerae.Conclusion The soluble expression of Hcp protein is successfully obtained,and high-titer polyclonal antibodies against Hcp are obtained after immunization of mice,which may lay a foundation for subsequent studies on the role of Hcp protein in the pathogenesis of T6SS in non-O1/non-O139 V.cholerae.
