Objective To study the variation of Schistosoma japonicum through two mitochondrial DNA molecules. Methods Genomic DNA was isolated with kit, and the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase 1(ND1) and cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and sequenced. The gene trees were constructed and the acquired data were analyzed with the help of bioinfotmatics. Results The gene trees showed that the Taiwan isolate and the mainland isolates can be divided in two groups: a group from the hilly region (Yunnan and Sichuan), another group from the lake region (Hunan, Jiangxi and Anhui); isolates from Hubei are at a different position on the gene trees. Conclusion There are variations among the geographic isolates of Schistosoma japonicum in China, nevertheless, they have close kinship.

Objective:To investigate the influence of dendritic cells modified by hIL-10 on proliferation and cytotoxicity of lymphocyte in experimental animals.Methods:The modified dendritic cells were injected intraperitoneally into C57BL/6 mice to sensitize it. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of sensitized or unsensitized C57BL/6 mice act as reactive cells, dendritic cells modified or unmodified by hIL-10 act as stimulation cells. These two type cells co-cultured for 6 days. MTT assay was used to detect lymphocyte proliferation. Lactate dehydrogenase release method was used to examine the cytotoxic activity.Results:The results showed that IL-10 can inhibit lymphocyte proliferation reaction of unsensitized or sensitized C57BL/6 mice. Lymphocyte proliferation induced by modified dendritic cells is significant lower than that by unmodified dendritic cells. Modified dendritic cells can resist the cytotoxic activity of cytotoxic T lymphocyte.Conclusion:Dendritic cells stably expressing IL-10 can obviously decrease lymphocyte proliferation response of allogenic mice and reduce the cytotoxic activity.

Objective To compare the performance of four commercial anti-dsDNA antibody assays,i.e,BioPlex 2200 (BioPlex),Farr radioimmunoassay (Farr),MESACUP DNA-Ⅱ TEST ds [MBL-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)] and Anti-dsDNA-NcX ELISA (IgG) (EURO-ELISA),Antoantibodies Profile Assay Kit (HOB-Chemiluminescent Immunoassay) in disease activity assessment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods SLE patients (n=119) as well as healthy controls (n=200) and disease controls (n=100) were recruited and their serum anti-dsDNA antibodies were detected by BioPlex,Farr,MBL-ELISA,EURO-ELISA,and a standard Crithidia luciliae indirect immunofluorescence test (CLIFT).The consistency between above four methods to CLIFT was analyzed.The correlation of anti-dsDNA antibody level of these four methods to SLE disease activity was assessed.All data analyses were performed with Statistical product and service solutions (SPSS) 16.0 (SPSS.Inc) and GraphPad Prism 4.0.3 (GraphPad).Unless otherwise specified,all data in this study were expressed as mean±standard deviation.Cut-off values of the anti-dsDNA quantification methods were set by the manufacturers.Chi square and kappa coefficients were adopted to assess the agreement determination and correlation analysis between anti-dsDNA level and SLE disease activity (SLEDAI).Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to compare the specificity and sensitivity of the anti-dsDNA assays.Student's t test was adopted for the comparison of anti-dsDNA levels by different methods between SLE and SLE+LN groups.A p value small than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results Using cut-off values set by the manufacturers,BioPlex demonstrated the highest overall agreement with CLIFT,while MBL-ELISA and EURO-ELISA showed the highest positive agreement with CLIFT.Disease activity correlation analysis showed that SLEDAI score correlated poorly with anti-dsDNA level in Farr assay,but strongly with the other three assays.Bioplex had a better performance in terms of SLE activity index corelation (r=0.297 6,P=0.001 2).Moreover,anti-dsDNA level differed in SLE patients with renal lupus nephritis in BioPlex assay (P=0.026 8),but not in the other assays.In ROC curve analysis,BioPlex showed the largest area under the curve (AUC) over other assays.Conclusion Bio Plex assay has better sensitivity and specificity than Farr,MBL-ELISA and EURO-ELISA and correlates well with SLE disease activity.

With the rapid development and expansion of the scale of the industry of Chinese materia medica,a large number of by-products in the process industrialization of Chinese materia medica have been produced,among which,the solid by-products of Chinese materia medica have been favoured by researchers due to the fact that they are rich in a large number of proteins,cellulose,hemicellulose,lignin,etc.,which can be used in the preparation of high value-added products.Therefore,the authors elaborated on the research on biochemical conversion,thermochemical conversion,resource oriented chemical components,preparation of biomass fuel,new composite materials and high-efficiency adsorbent of solid by-products in the process of industrialization of Chinese materia medica in recent years,aiming to provide theoretical basis for the comprehensive and high-value utilization of the solid by-products of Chinese materia medica and extension of the industrial chain.

To analyze the biological characteristics of Pasteurella multocida in bovine respiratory tract and its prevalence in large-scale cattle farms,bacterial isolation,culture,and morphological observation were conducted on the lungs and liver samples of dead cows suffering from respiratory diseases in Hohhot,Inner Mongolia.The isolated strains were studied through biochemical testing,16S rRNA gene sequencing,specific primer PCR identification,capsule serotyping,pathogenicity testing,virulence gene testing,drug sensitivity testing,and drug resistance gene detection methods.The results showed that six strains of Pasteurella multocida serotype A were isolated and identi-fied from the lungs of diseased and dead cows.After sequencing the 16S rRNA sequence of the bac-teria,it was found that the six strains of Pasteurella multocida had the closest genetic relationship with the Chongqing isolate CQ2(CP033599.1).The results of mouse pathogenicity test and viru-lence gene detection showed that all isolates were pathogenic and carried at least 16 or more related virulence genes such as exbB,nanB,sodC,oma 87,etc.,but no hsf1 and toxA were detected.The results of drug sensitivity tests and resistance gene detection showed that the isolated strains were sensitive to different degrees of antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin,and cefotaxime.They were resistant to streptomycin,clindamycin,and lincomycin,and resistance genes of str A,strB,and tet(H)were detected.The results indicate that there is a certain correlation between the pathoge-nicity and virulence genes,drug resistance phenotype,and drug resistance genes of Pasteurellamultocida type A in cattle.It is recommended to use quinolones(such as ciprofloxacin)and cepha-losporins(such as cefotaxime)antibacterial drugs in clinical practice,which can provide scientific basis and prevention and control plans for the prevention and treatment of respiratory diseases caused by Pasteurella multocida in cattle farms,and lay a foundation for the epidemiological mo-nitoring of bovine respiratory multocida pasteurellosis.

Objective:To understand the current situation of nurses in 52 hospitals in China on mastery of knowledge about skin injury in the elderly based on the background of mixed-mode homogenization training.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 1 067 nurses from 52 hospitals in China were selected as the research objects in January 2021. A self-designed questionnaire on knowledge of skin injury in the elderly was used to investigate the nurses through the questionnaire star and univariate analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. A total of 1 067 questionnaires were distributed and 1 067 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 100%.Results:The knowledge scores of pressure injury, incontinence-associated dermatitis, skin tear and xerosis cutis among 1067 nurses were (95.66±7.37) , (95.65±9.15) , (91.37±15.45) and (87.67±15.91) , respectively. The results of univariate analysis showed that hospital grade was the influencing factor of nurses' knowledge score of pressure injury, skin tear and incontinence-associated dermatitis ( P<0.05) , educational background was the influencing factor of nurses' knowledge score of skin tear ( P<0.05) , professional title was the influencing factor of nurses' knowledge scores of pressure injury, incontinence-associated dermatitis and xerosis cutis ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Hospitals at all levels need to strengthen the theoretical and practical knowledge training for nurses on skin xerosis and skin tear in the elderly, especially for nurses with primary titles and lower education in grassroots hospitals.
