Objective To investigate the alexithymia, mental health condition and their relationship in female rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods Fifty-four female patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 50 healthy women were enrolled and assessed with Chinese version of the 20-item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the symptom checklist-90(SCL-90). Disease duration and DAS28 of the patients were also recorded and calculated. The data were statistical analyzed by t test between the two groups and other block groups. The association between TAS-20, SCL-90, duration and DAS28 was assessed using Spearman corre-lations. Results ① The TAS-20 total score and Tf1, Tf2, Tf3 factors score of female rheumatoid arthritis patients were significantly higher than those of the control group (57±9, 51±7, t=4.15, P<0.01); it was also the same with the total score and factors score of SCL-90 (beside the paranoid factor) between patients and control groups (165±50, 138±41, t=3.06, P<0.05). ② Correlation analysis showed significantly positive correlation between Tf1 factor and all factors of SCL-90, also between Tf3 factor and obsession-compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, phobias and paranoid factors(P<0.05). ③ Only hostility factor was different between the higher TAS-20 total score group and the lower one. However, the obsession-compulsion, anxiety and phobias factors scores of the higher Tf1 score group were significantly higher than those of the lower one (P<0.05); The higher Tf3 score group was significantly different from the lower one in obsession-compulsion, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility, paranoid and psychoticism factors (P<0.05). The Tf1 factor score of higher SCL-90 total score group was significant higher than that of the lower one (P<0.05). ④ There were significantly positive correlation between duration and depression and paranoid factors, also between
DAS28 and anxiety and paranoid factors (P <0.05). Conclusion There is obvious alexithymia and psychological problems in female rheumatoid arthritis patients; the Tf1 and Tf3 factors of TAS-20, duration and DAS28 are all major factors related to the psychological state.

Based on the fermentation analysis of Escherichia coli strains and cheap renewable resources suitable for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production, we constructed a ptsG mutant of Escherichia coli DH5alpha. Application of E. coli DH5alpha mutant together with stress-induced system, we could produce PHB efficiently from cheap renewable sugar mixture by the simultaneous consumption of different sugars. Batch fermentation at lab scale (5 liter) showed that E. coli DH5alpha deltaptsG/pQKZ103 produced PHB from sugar mixture up to 84.6% of cell dry weight in 32 hours; meanwhile, the cell dry weight reached 8.24 g/L.

Protein phosphorylation is a ubiquitous protein post-translational modification, which plays an important role in cellular signaling systems underlying various physiological and pathological processes. Current in silico methods mainly focused on the prediction of phosphorylation sites, but rare methods considered whether a phosphorylation site is functional or not. Since functional phosphorylation sites are more valuable for further experimental research and a proportion of phosphorylation sites have no direct functional effects, the prediction of functional phosphorylation sites is quite necessary for this research area. Previous studies have shown that functional phosphorylation sites are more conserved than non-functional phosphorylation sites in evolution. Thus, in our method, we developed a web server by integrating existing phosphorylation site prediction methods, as well as both absolute and relative evolutionary conservation scores to predict the most likely functional phosphorylation sites. Using our method, we predicted the most likely functional sites of the human, rat and mouse proteomes and built a database for the predicted sites. By the analysis of overall prediction results, we demonstrated that protein phosphorylation plays an important role in all the enriched KEGG pathways. By the analysis of protein-specific prediction results, we demonstrated the usefulness of our method for individual protein studies. Our method would help to characterize the most likely functional phosphorylation sites for further studies in this research area.

Objective To study the relationship between intrauterine infection and early neonatal sepsis.Method From October 2015 to September 2016,the clinical data of pregnant mothers and their newborns in Shenzhen Longhua District Central Hospital were collected,and data of Shenzhen People's Hospital from January 2016 to June 2016 were collected.100 pairs of pregnant mothers and their newborns with confirmed or suspected intrauterine infection were selected as the observation group,and another 100 pairs without intrauterine infection during the same period as the control group.The ratio of term infants vs.premature infants was 1∶ 1.The complete blood count (CBC),CD64,procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured in peripheral blood of all mothers on the day of delivery.The CBC,CD64,CRP,PCT,blood culture of both umbilical venous blood and peripheral blood in neonates were examined and the pathological examination of placenta was performed.Result The positive rate of placental pathology and umbilical cord blood culture in observation group were significantly higher than that in the control and the positive rate in preterms was higher than the terms in observation group (P ＜ 0.05).No significant differences existed between term and premature newborns on the positive rate of peripheral blood culture (P ＞ 0.05).The positive rate of blood culture from umbilical cord blood was higher than peripheral blood in observation group (P ＜ 0.05),but no significant difference in control group (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of septicemia in term and premature newborns in observation group was significantly higher than the control group (P＜ 0.05).The CD64,PCT in mother's peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood,and CRP in mother's blood were all higher than the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),but CRP in umbilical cord blood in both group were similar (P ＞ 0.05).The area under ROC curve of CD64 and PCT in mother's peripheral blood,CD64 and PCT in umbilical cord blood to diagnose early-onset septicemia in newborns was 0.755,0.793,0.852 and 0.811,respectively.Conclusion The risk of neonatal infections is significantly increased because of intrauterine infection.Combination of peripheral and umbilical blood cultures can increase the accuracy of sepsis diagnosis.Both CD64 and PCT in umbilical cord blood and maternal blood can be used as indicators of intrauterine infection with a predictive value in the diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis.

Objective To investigate the effect of HBP-A on meniscal injuries and the expressions of genes associated with pathological hypertrophy and calcification of the meniscusinduced by abnormal loading. Methods Bovine meniscus explants were subjected to 25%strain at 0.3 Hz for 3 h and treated with 0.6 mg/mL of HBP-A. The cell viability in the meniscus explants after 72 hin culture was determined using live/dead staining and the expression levels of genes associated with pathological hypertrophy and calcification of the meniscus (ANKH, ENPP1, ALP, MMP13, and IL-1) were measured using real-time PCR and Western blotting. The conditioned medium was collected for testing sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) release. Results The number of dead cells, loss of proteoglycan content, and the expressions of ANKH, ENPP1, ALP and MMP13, and IL-1 at both the mRNA and protein levels were all significantly lower in the meniscus explants treated with 0.6 mg/mL HBP-A than in the explants with only 25%abnormal pressure stimulation (n=3, P<0.05). Conclusion HBP-A can effectively alleviate meniscal injuries induced by abnormal loading and suppress the expressions of genes related with pathological hypertrophy and calcification of the meniscus, and can serve as a potential drug for treatment of knee osteoarthritis.
