An effective RT-PCR method was developed to detect exogenous gene xylB transcript levels in Zymomonas mobilis CP4. Total RNAs without genomic DNA contamination were purified from wild-type and gene engineering strains, and were quantified to the same concentration. Then, cDNAs synthesis and PCR analysis of these samples were conducted by reverse transcription PCR. The optimal number of cycles was determined by observing amplification profile of target gene xylB and internal control gene 16s rRNA, and relative expression levels of xylB in various samples were analyzed by RT-PCR. The results indicated that the xylB transcript was not be detected in CP4, however that could be found in recombinant strains, in which xylB transcription abundance was similar. The enzyme assay furthermore confirmed that effective ex-pression of the target gene. The method provided a useful and rapid tool for detecting transcript levels of target genes from various samples of Z. mobilis.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of PLGA-PEG-PLGA-5-fluorouracil temperature-sensitive hydrogel interstitial chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer by using endoscopic ultrasonography.Methods PLGA-PEG-PLGA-5-fluorouracil temperature-sensitive hydrogel in vitro release experiments were performed in the following procedures:determination of lixivium drug concentration and calculation of its emission.Fifty nude mice with the pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 were randomly divided into 5 groups,10 in each group.Group A was intratumorally injected with PLGA-PEG-PLGA-5-fluorouracil temperature-sensitive hydrogel at 4mg/kg ; group B with PLGA-PEG-PLGA-5-fluorouracil temperature-sensitive hydrogel at lmg/kg; Group C was intratumorally injected with 5-fluorouracil at 4 mg/kg ; Group D with PLGAPEG-PLGA matrix at 4mg/kg ;and group E was the control group.Tumor growth and audio-visual images of the nude mice tumor nodules were observed before administration,and 3,7,10,14 days after.Tumor growth curve was also drawn.Animals were sacrificed at 14 days Tumors were weighed to calculate the inhibitory rate and stained for pathological study.Results 1,3,5,8,10,and 14-day release of 5-fluorouracil temperature-sensitive hydrogel were 21.6％,33.8 ％,44.3％,63.6％,76.3％ and 91.8％.Tumor sizes of group A and group B were significantly different from those of other groups (P ＜ 0.05).Ultrasound endoscopic image characteristics were correlated with pathological findings.Conclusion PLGA-PEG-PLGA-5-fluorouracil temperature-sensitive hydrogel is able to release for 14 days in vitro,which constantly inhibits human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990.Intratumoral injection of the agent can significantly inhibit the growth of pancreatic cancer of nude mice.Additionally,gelatinous preparations fixes better than liquid and is of clinical value.Therefore,monitoring temperature-sensitive 5-fluorouracil hydrogel interstitial chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer with endoscopic ultrasound is convenient and safe.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antimicrobial resistance in Enterococcus species isolated from Ordos Central Hospital.Methods The Enterococcus strains were isolated from clinical specimens from January 2010 to June 2013.The identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were completed on VITEK 2 Compact.WHONET 5.6 software was used to analyze the data.Results A total of 271 strains of Enterococcus were collected,including E.faecium (50.6%,137/271), E.faecalis (29.5%,80/271),and other Enterococcus (19.9%,54/271).The Enterococcus isolates were mainly from urine (25.5%,69/271 ),pus (14.8%,40/271 )and wound secretion (12.5%,34/271 ).The E.faecalis strains were highly susceptible to vancomycin and linezolid.Only 1 .3% and 1 .5% of the strains were resistant to vancomycin and linezolid, respectively.No strains of E.faecalis were resistant to nitrofurantoin.The percentage of E.faecalis resistant to penicillin and ampicillin was 11.8% and 2.6%,respectively.About 31.0% and 22.9% of E.faecalis strains were resistant to gentamicin (high level)and streptomycin (high level),respectively.The E.faecium strains were more resistant to most antibiotics tested than E.faecalis.The drug-resistance rate of E.faecium strains to vancomycin was 4.4%.But no strains were found resistant to linezolid.Only 19.1% of these strains were resistant to nitrofurantoin.Also 44.8% and 26.4% of E. faecium isolates were resistant to gentamicin (high level)and streptomycin (high level),respectively.However,E.faecium was less resistant to tetracycline and quinupristin-dalfopristin than E.faecalis.The resistance rate was 58.3% and 0, respectively.Conclusions The E.faecium strains are more resistant to most drugs tested than E.faecalis.Some strains are resistant to vancomycin.The resistance of Enterococcus varies widely with region and species.Antimicrobial therapy for such enterococcal infections should be based on the results of antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects of autogenous vein grafting for the treatment of atherosclerotic occlusion of the lower limbs. Methods Ninety cases of segemental atherosclerotic occlusion of the lower limbs underwent autogenous vein graft bridging procedures from Jan 2002 to Feb 2005 in our hospital. The immediate surgical results were compared with symptoms of pre-operation, and the long-term patency rate was evaluated. Results Total symptom relief was achieved in 87 cases, with the limbs pain disappearing, skin temperature going up, and the refractory ulcer tending to heal. There was a significant difference in ABI, perioperatively increasing from 0. 38?0. 11 to 0. 85?0. 18(P

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanisms of factor fibroblast growth factor inducible 14(Fn14)in the high glucose induced-cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Method To observe the expression of collagenⅠ, connective tissue growth factor ( CTGF ) , transforming growth factor-β1 ( TGF-β1 ) , and Fn14 in high glucose induced-cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. Fn14 expressions was down-regulated by siRNA interference technique, and then the expressions of collagen Ⅰ, CTGF, and TGF-β1 were observed, and the mechanism was also explored. Results The expression of collagen I, CTGF and TGF-β1 was significantly up-regulated after high glucose induced-cardiomyocyte hypertrophy for 72 h. At the same time, the expression of Fn14 was increased after 72 h-treatment, and reached the peak at concentration of 30 mmol/L high glucose. High glucose could not up-regulated the expression of collagenⅠ, CTGF, and TGF-β1 after siFn14 interference, while the same result was observed in the expression of p-JNK. Conclusion The expressions of collagenⅠ, CTGF, TGF-β1, and Fn14 in cardiomyocyte of neonatal rats were induced by high glucose. While Fn14 expression was inhibited, the expressions of collagenⅠ, CTGF, and TGF-β1 were down-regulated, which seems to be involved with p-JNK signaling pathway.

Surgery combined with postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can improve the overall survival and becomes one of main treatments for resectable brain metastases. Compared with postoperative SRS, preoperative SRS (Pre-SRS) has theoretical advantages of reducing the dissemination of active tumor cells into the treatment cavity during surgery, reducing radiation dose, reducing radiation to surrounding normal brain tissue, and ensuring successful implementation of perioperative treatment, etc. Recent clinical studies have confirmed that Pre-SRS can reduce local recurrence rate and the incidence of radiation necrosis (RN) and leptomeningeal metastasis (LMM). Moreover, the indications, dose fractionation, and combined therapy remain to be confirmed by more prospective studies. In this article, research progress in Pre-SRS for resectable brain metastases was reviewed.

Objective To explore the modulation effect of macrophage polarization and tumor microenvironment by colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) inhibitor administration in mice colon carcinoma tissue.Methods 24 mice were divided into normal control group,CAC group,CAC + GW2580 group.On day 64,the mice in CAC + GW2580 group were given GW2580 by daily gavage for a week.On 71 st day,the colon tissues were collected.The expression phenotype of macrophage polarization was detected by flow cytometry,the expression of macrophage-associated protein was detected by Western blot,and the expression level of various cytokine mRNAs were detected by PCR.Results The administration of CSF-1R inhibitors in CAC mice resulted in a significant reduction in the percentage of macrophages and M2 cells and a significant increase in M1 (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of M1-related proteins CD86 was up-regulated and the expression of M2-related proteins CD206 was down-regulated (P ＜0.05).Further more,the expression of M2-related IL-4,IL-10,Arg-1 were up-regulated (all P ＜ 0.05),and the expression of M1-related IL-12,iNOS were down-regulated (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion CSF-1R inhibitor can effectively modulate macrophage polarization from M2 to M1 in colon tumor and transform the tumor microenvironment from immunosuppression to immunostimulation,exerting tumor inhibition.

OBJECTIVETo labele MESPU35, a embryonic stem (ES) cell line derived from C57BL/6j mouse, with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) for further application.

METHODSThe EGFP gene was controlled by the hybrid CA promoter/enhancer (CMV enhancer/chicken beta-actin promoter/beta-actin intron) to construct the vector of the transgene, pCA-EGFP. The vector was transfected into MESPU35 by electroporation.

RESULTSWe generated EGFP expressing ES cells demonstrating normal properties. The green fluorescence of EGFP expressing cells was maintained in propagation of the ES cells for more than 30 passages as well as in differentiated cells. Cultured in suspension, the "green" ES cells aggregated, and formed embryoid bodies maintaining the green fluorescence at varying developmental stages. The "green" embryoid bodies could expand and differentiate into various types of cells, exhibiting ubiquitous green fluorescence.

CONCLUSIONSThe hybrid CA promoter/enhancer used to control the EGFP expressing ES cells, resulted in more intense and ubiquitous activity. The EGFP transfected cells yield bright green fluorescence, which can be visualized in real time and in situ. In addition, the ES cells, MESPU35, are derived from C57BL/6j mice, which are the most widely used in oncology, physiology and genetics. Compared to 129 substrains, C57BL/6j mice avoid a number of potential problems apparent in the other strains.
