Commonly, the interbacterial transfer of circular plasmids is initiated by nicking at an internal sequence, oriT, followed by transferring one strand as single-stranded DNA through a type Ⅳ secretion channel on cell membrane. In contrast, Streptomyces conjugative linear plasmids, containing a free 3'-end but a protein-capped 5'-end, can potentially undergo cell-to-cell transfer by transfer of non-nicked DNA. It was reported that circular derivatives of the Streptomyces lividans linear plasmid SLP2, as well as the parental linear plasmid itself can transfer efficiently. And the genetic requirements for such transfer was described. Efficient transfer of plasmid requires six co-transcribed SLP2 genes, encoding a Tra-like DNA translocase, cell wall hydrolase, two cell membrane proteins that interact with an ATP binding protein, and a protein of unknown function. Reduced transfer efficiency of plasmid from SalⅠ R-/M-to Sal Ⅰ R/M hosts argues that transfer of both the circular and linear forms of the plasmid involves double-stranded DNA. These results suggest that conjugal transfer occurs by a similar mechanism for SLP2-derived linear and circular plasmids, and cellular membrane/wall functions in the transfer process.

Objective To explore the optimal acupuncture scheme in intervening hypermyotonia of the affected limbs in stroke.Method Eighty eligible stroke patients were randomly grouped by using the orthogonal experimental design, by adopting electroacupuncture (A), daily acupuncture frequency (B), and acupoint (C) as three factors, and two levels. A total of 20 treatment sessions were conducted. Each group was scored by using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) before and after the treatment, and the safety was also evaluated.Result There was a significant difference in comparing the MAS score between the two different levels of factor A (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences in comparing the MAS scores between different levels of factor B and factor C (P<0.05). Concerning the improvement of the MAS scores of wrist, elbow, knee, and ankle joints, A2B1C1(i.e. electroacupuncture twice a day with acupoints from yin meridians) was the optimal treatment scheme.Conclusion Electroacupuncture twice a day is the optimal treatment scheme for hypermyotonia of the affected limbs in stroke, as it can effectively ease the hypermyotonia, improve the function and symptoms of the limbs, and has a satisfactory security evaluation.

Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2020;27(8):906-908
Objective:To measure the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in children with asthma, and to investigate the relationship between the serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and total immunoglobulin E (TIgE).Methods:From October 2013 to September 2014, 48 children with bronchial asthma were selected as asthma group, and 35 healthy children were selected as control group.Double-antibody radioimmunoassay(RIA) was used to detect the levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and TIgE.Results:The serum level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the asthma group was (35.86±14.31)nmol/L, which was significantly lower than that in the control group[(53.91±22.71)nmol/L], and IgE level in the asthma group was (331.66±223.67)IU/mL, which was significantly higher than that in the control group [(99.33±86.50)IU/mL], the differences were statistically significant( t=4.32, 2.36, all P<0.05). There was a negative correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and IgE in the asthma group( r=-0.400, P<0.05). Conclusion:The serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D may be associated with childhood asthma.The significant negative correlation between the levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and TIgE in children who had bronchial asthma indicates that asthma has a close relationship with allergy.Through increasing the concentration of 25-hydroxyvitamin D may prevent or treat child-hood asthma.
