To obtain an ideal recombinant C-terminal fragment of the merozoite surface protein of Plasmodium falciparum in the Pichia pastoris expression system, the major surface protein-119 (MSP-119) gene sequence bearing the 6-his gene was inserted into expression vector pPIC9k and the target gene was transformed to the susceptible yeast cells GS115 by using electroporation. The multiple inserts were screened and the successfully expressed MSP-119 protein with the relative molecular weight of 12kDa in the supernatants of cell cultures could be detected by SDS-PAGE. Meanwhile, Western blot analysis also demonstrated that this protein reacted with mouse anti-MSP-119 monoclonal antibody, and the expression level of MSP-119 was more than 1.0 g/L. It is concluded that this recombinant protein expressed in the Pichia pastoris expression system resembles the native proteins existed.

Objective To explore the application effects and evaluation of scenario pedagogy on hierarchical first aid training for nurses. Methods A total of 160 nursing staffs, who took part in the first aid training from July 2013 to June 2014, were selected and averagely divided into observation group ( scenario pedagogy) and control group ( traditional pedagogy) by random number table. We compared basic theory of first aid, operant skill of first aid and comprehensive ability. Results After the training, the theory, operant skill and comprehensive ability were (96. 25 ± 8. 31), (93. 64 ± 7. 48), (95. 24 ± 7. 65), that were all higher than those of the control group (t=3. 265, 2. 985, 2. 988;P<0. 01);in the observation group after the training, the N0, N1, N2 level of nursing staffs′comprehensive ability were (94. 41 ± 8. 22), (96. 24 ± 7. 43), (98. 21 ± 7. 46) higher than those of the control group (t=2. 982, 3. 041, 3. 215;P<0. 01). Conclusions Scenario pedagogy method can significantly mobilize the study enthusiasm of nurses at all levels, and increase all level nurses′basic emergency theory, emergency operation skills and comprehensive abilities.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical value of lymph node dissection (LND) for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) after surgical resection.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on the clinical data of 156 patients who underwent surgery for ICC in Eastern Hepatobiliary Surgery Hospital of Naval Military Medical University from November 2010 to December 2017, including 94 males and 62 females, aged (60.0±9.5) years. Curative surgery was performed in 114 cases. Of 64 cases were in stage Ⅰ according to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), including 38 cases of non-lymph node dissection (NLND) and 26 cases of LND; 21 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅱ, including 11 cases of NLND and 10 cases of LND; 22 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅲb, including 14 cases of LND and 8 cases of lymph node resection (LNR); 5 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅲa, 2 cases were in AJCC stage Ⅳ. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used for the risk factors of ICC prognosis. The log-rank test compared the survival rates of the two groups.Results:Cox multivariate analysis indicated that lymph node metastasis was independent risk factors for prognosis in patients with ICC ( HR=1.96, 95% CI: 1.09-3.55, P=0.026). A total of 114 patients were included in the curative surgery group. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS) rates of the negative lymph node group ( n=91) were 65.9%, 47.3% and 35.6%, respectively, which were significantly better than those of the positive lymph node group ( n=23) who had 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates of 56.5%, 17.7% and 0, respectively (χ 2=8.11, P=0.004 ). In stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ patients, there were no significant differences in 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates between the NLND group and the LND group (both P>0.05 ). In stage Ⅲb patients, the LND group had 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates of 71.4%, 29.8% and 0, respectively, significantly better than those of the LNR group who had 1-, 3-, 5-year OS rates of 37.5%, 0 and 0, respectively (χ 2=6.45, P=0.011). Conclusions:Lymph node metastasis is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of ICC. Lymph node dissection should be performed cautiously in ICC with AJCC stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, while routine lymph node dissection is recommended in ICC with AJCC stage Ⅲb.
