Enterovirus type 71(EV71) causes severe hand-foot-and-mouth disease(HFMD) resulting in hundreds of deaths of children every year; However,currently,there is no effective treatment for EV71.In this study,the EV71 poly-protein(EV71-P1 protein) gene was processed and cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pPIC9k and then expressed in Pichia pastoris strain GS115.The EV71 P1 pretein with a molecular weight of 100 kD was produced and secreted into the medium.The soluble EV71 P1 protein was purified by column chromatography with a recovery efficiency of 70%.The result of the immunological analysis showed that the EV71 P1 protein had excellent immunogenicity and could stimulate the production of EV71-VP1 IgG antibody in injected rabbits.We suggest that EV71-P1 protein is an ideal candidate for an EV71 vaccine to prevent EV71 infection.

AIM: To investigate gene expression of bax, bcl-2 and p53 in fetal skin at different gestational ages and children skin in order to explore their potentially biological significance. METHODS: Apoptosis in skin specimens was determined by terminal deoxynucleotidy transferase mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling technique (TUNEL). Gene expressions of bax, bcl-2 and p53 in skin at different developmental stages was examined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS: Along with fetal growth and development, the incidence rate of apoptosis was increased progressively in skin. In skin from early gestational fetus, bcl-2 was strongly expressed. This gene expression was progressively decreased with increment in gestational age. In children skin, the mRNA content of this gene was significantly reduced compared with fetal skin (P

Objective To investigate the application of statins in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke in different risk groups,and to identify the factors influencing the comphcance of statins.Me.ods Ischemic stroke patients from December 2011 to October 2012 were collected.All clinical characterisitcs and possible factors influencing the compliance of statins was recorded in 3 months.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the compliance of statins.Results All 368 patients were collected,and 67.9%(250/368) patients were prescribed statins for therapy during hospitalization.The application rate of statins in accordance with guidelines in high-risk,extremely high-risk Ⅱ and extremely high-risk Ⅰ patients was 28.1% (18/64),44.1% (30/68) and 72.3% (136/188),respectively.Logistic regression analysis showed that the statins application during hospitalization was associated with the presence of carotid vulnerable plaques (OR =5.308,P =0.000) and diabetes history (OR =1.789,P =0.032).Routine discharge instructions had high compliance.Conclusion The compliance of statins in secondary prevention of ischemic stroke still has a large gap between clinical practice and guidelines,and routine discharge instructions on statins application increase the compliance of statins.

Medical microbiology experiment is faced with many problems in online teaching. This study adopts the teaching mode of online live broadcast + operation video + virtual experiment, and make up the operation gap to some extent through operation video and virtual experiment. The mode of assessment is subjective thinking question (closely following the operation process) + experiment design + literature review (focusing on the key technology or new technology of clinical assessment that cannot be carried out due to the limitation of conditions in traditional experiments, such as mass spectrometry, fluorescence quantitative PCR, and G-test), and it is helpful to understand students' mastery of teaching objectives, and the ability of comprehensive application and innovative thinking. The student questionnaire shows that most students hold a positive attitude towards the online experimental teaching mode, and the quality of students' homework shows that most students have a good learning effect.

Objective To analyze the health management situation of non-communicable chronic disease(NCD)in Chongqing City and Guizhou Province and its influencing factors.Methods A stratified random sampling method was used to select 16 representative primary medical and health institutions from Chongqing City and Guizhou Province as the research sites,and the data were collected through the combination method of qualitative and quantitative research.Results A total of 760 patients with NCD were surveyed,and the awareness rate,utilization rate and satisfaction rate of the NCD health management program all exceeded 84.2%,while the awareness rate,utilization rate and satisfaction rate of follow-up and categorical intervention were the lowest.The awareness rate of hypertension physical examination in the patients with<60 years old was lower than that in the patients with 60-<70 years old(OR=4.28,95%CI:1.43-12.81)and the pa-tients with ≥70 year sold(OR=3.16,95%CI:1.12-8.91);the utilization rate of diabetes screening in the patients with<60 years-old was lower than that in the patients with ≥70 years old(OR=2.70,95%CI:1.08-6.76)and the awareness rate of hypertension physical examination was lower than that of the patients with 60-<70 years old(OR=4.24,95%CI:1.01-17.75);the awareness rate of hypertension physical ex-amination in the patients in Chongqing City was higher than that in Guizhou Province(OR=0.15,95%CI:0.04-0.54)and the utilization situation was better than that in Guizhou Province(OR=0.13,95%CI:0.05-0.34).Conclusion The overall situation of NCD management services in Chongqing City and Guizhou Province is good,but the service quality of follow-up and classified intervention projects needs to be further improved.
