Objective To develop a scale to measure three representative real relationships of undergraduates (parent-child relationship,collegemate relationship and teacher-student relationship) and test its validity and reliability(multi-interpersonal dynamics questionnaire for undergraduates,MIDQ-U).Methods A total of 1 310 students were conveniently sampled as respondents to analyze validity and reliability indexes.Result Three relationships share four factors for interpersonal dynamic characteristics:closeness,indifference,independence and submissiveness.The revised MIDQ-U composed of 26 items to separately measure characteristics of three relationships both separately and together.The factor loading of items in parent-child relationship scale were 0.41-0.73 and 50.71% of the variances could be explained,while eollegemate relationship 0.41-0.72 and 51.81% explained,teacher-student relationship 0.42-0.76 and 49.58% explained.The model in 4 factors(x2/df =2.59,CFI =0.85) fitted the data with well construct validity.The Cronbach α coefficients were 0.847 in parent-child relationship scale,0.865 in collegemate relationship scale and 0.836 in teacher-student relationship scale.The test-retest reliabilities were 0.867,0.786 and 0.746.Conclusions The MIDQ-U has satisfactory validity aud reliability.It can be used to measure one of the three relationships separately,and also as an evaluation tool to compare and correlate multiple interpersonal dynamics.

UL48 plays essential role in replication of MDV genome and interacts with UL36 as well as other MDV tegument proteins.To investigate the interaction between UL48 and UL36 during MDV oncogenisis,antibody against UL48 was prepared and characterized in current study.UL48 gene was amplified from MDV-Ⅰ genome and then subcloned into pTYB1 and pGEX-4T3 vectors for UL48 expression with induction of IPTG in BL21(DE3) E..coli cells.Chitin-sepharose and Glutathion-sepharose were,respectively,used to purify fusion protein intein-UL48 and GST-UL48.Four subcutaneous injections of intein-UL48 fusion protein were done on the lower back and the thigh of rabbit and then other three injections with an interval 10 days.The titer of antibody was measured by the sandwich ELISA with UL48 protein isolated from GST-UL48 after cleavage of thrombin.Western blot was carried out for specificity analysis of antibody against UL48 protein.The results suggested that UL48 antibody was succesfully prepared,and its titer was 1 ∶ 512 000.

Objective:To compare gene expression profiles in normal human cervical epithelial cells (HcerEpic) before and after Chlamydia trachomatis ( Ct) infection. Methods:HcerEpic cells that were pretreated with DEAE-D were infected with Ct serotype E standard strain and then cultured for 44 h. Uninfected HcerEpic cells were used as the control group. Total RNA was extracted from the cells in each group and reverse transcribed to construct a cDNA library. Differences in gene expression profiles between the two groups were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing and the representative genes were selected for verification by qPCR. Results:A total of 23 997 genes were detected, including 125 differentially expressed genes. Among the 125 genes, 119 were up-regulated and six were down-regulated. GO analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in several biological processes including defense response to virus, typeⅠinterferon signaling pathway and cellular responses to typeⅠinterferons. KEGG enrichment analysis showed the differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the pathways related to virus infections, such as influenza A virus, herpes simplex virus, EB virus and HPV, and NOD-like receptor pathway.Conclusions:There were significant differences in transcriptome profiles of HcerEpic cells before and after Ct infection. The differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in the interferon pathway, which was closely related to the antiviral processes in cells. qPCR verified the differentially expressed genes and the genes closely related to the interferon pathway, such as ISG15, IFIT2, OASL and UBE2L6.
