Potato cultivar Atlantic is widely grown for potato chips in the world. However, this economically important potato cultivar exhibits very poor yields and traits under severe environmental stress. To develop an efficient plant transformation system that could be used to produce large scale transgenic potato plants with enhanced tolerance to environmental stress and therefore would be beneficial for potato processing industry, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of internodal stem explants using both superoxide dismutase (SOD) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) genes under the control of an oxidative stress-inducible SWPA2 promoter was performed. Comparing to leaf explants, stem internodal explants were less liable to damage during manipulation, more amenable to in vitro conditions. The addition of silver thiosulfate to the selection medium considerably promoted the shoot induction from explant-derived callus. Seven to nine shoots per stem explant were obtained. By combining the best treatments, this system yielded shoot induction frequency of 94.2% and transformation frequency of 80% of internodal stem explants. Stable integration of the transgenes was confirmed by PCR and Southern blot analyses. In conclusion, short duration (7～8 weeks), high efficiency and easy process make this system well suited for wider commercial applications of transgenic Atlantic potato plants.

In plants, oxidative stress is one of the major causes of damage as a result of various environmental stresses and it is primarily due to the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species. To develop transgenic potato plants with enhanced tolerance to environmental stress, transgenic potato plants (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Atlantic) expressing the Cu/ZnSOD and APX genes in chloroplasts were generated under the control of the oxidative stress-inducible promoter. To investigate oxidative stress tolerance, transgenic plants were evaluated at the level of leaf discs and plantlets after methyl viologen (MV) and salt treatment. Leaf discs from transgenic potato plants showed 13% less membrane damage compared to non-transgenic (NT) plants suffering 10 μmol/L MV treatment of 48 h, and showed 1.6-fold higher chlorophyll contents than those of NT plants at 1.0mol/L NaCl treatment (31% vs. 19%). In addition, transgenic potato plants maintained higher rooting rates (75%) during 100mmol/L NaCl treatment than those (12%) from NT plants. Moreover, the tolerance to salt stress in transgenic plants was consistent to increased transcript levels and higher activities of SOD and APX compared to NT plants. These results suggest that expression of Cu/ZnSOD and APX in chloroplasts could be used in plants to enhance the tolerance to environmental stresses.

Objective To explore the expression of neutrophil adhesion molecule CD11b,and plasma level of elastase in patients with anaphylactoid purpura during different clinical phases and their correlation with disease activity.Methods A total of 20 patients with anaphylactoid purpura were recruited into this study,along with 20 normal human controls.Two blood samples were collected from each patients at the first visit(active phase)and after 3～5 weeks of treatment(remission phase).The expression of CD11b was measured by flow cytometry in 12 patients and normal controls,and plasma levels of elastase by ELISA in 20 patients and normal controls.Results Increased CD11b expression and elastase level were noted in patients in active phase compared with those in patients in remission phase(3367.25±434.57 vs 2569.33±411.06.13.98±2.05 vs 4.29±0.80.both P＜0.01).No significant difference was found in CD11b expression between patients in remission phase and normal controls(P＞0.05).while the elastase level was higher in patients in remission phase than in normal controls(4.29±0.80 vs 3.67±0.54.P＜0.05).In active phase of anaphylactoid purpura,the expression of CD11b was positively correlated with the plasma level of elastase(r=0.73,P＜0.01),while no correlation was noticed between them in remission phase(r=0.20,P=0.54).Conclusion Peripheral neutrophils are activated in anaphylactoid purpura,which seems to be more obvious in active phase than in remission phase.

Objective To investigate the hyperuricemia(HUA)and the correlation of blood lipids of the 60 -70years peple in Renqiu area,and to provide the basis for guiding prevention and treatment of the elderly disease the region.Methods According to the cluster random sampling method,Renqiu permanent residents with the age of 60 to 70 years were selected as a screening object.In the total 5 010 cases screened object,2 163 were male(43.2%),2 847 were female(56.8%),with an average age of(64.29 ±3.05)years.The data of blood uric acid and total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG),high -density lipoprotein(HDL -C),low -density lipoprotein(LDL -C)were collected.The rela-tionship between blood uric acid and blood lipids were analyzed.Logistic regression method was used to analysis the relationship between the hyperuricemia and lipids components.Results The overall prevalence of hyperuricemia in Renqiu was 6.1%(9.8% in male,3.2% in female).In men HUA group,the levels of blood uric acid,TG and LDL-L were 464.10(438.00 -508.65)μmol/L,1.54(1.00 -2.19)mmol/Land 2.66(2.25 -3.22)mmol/L,which were higher than those of normal uric acid group of 294.00(249.90 -338.08)μmol/L,1.13(0.84 -1.65)mmol/L and 2.57(2.12 -3.01)mmol/L(P <0.05).In women HUA group,the levels of blood uric acid,TG and LDL -L were 454.15(434.15 -480.78)μmol/L,2.14(1.47 -3.18)mmol/L and 2.96(2.52 -3.76)mmol/L,which were higher than those of normal uric acid group of 250.80(209.00 -299.80)μmol/L,1.53(1.10 -2.20)mmol/L and 2.87(2.40 -3.33)mmol/L(P <0.05).Logistic multi -factor regression analysis showed that TG was an independ-ent risk factor for hyperuricemia,and that HDL -L and gender were protective factors.Conclusion Hyperuricemia is closely associated with blood lipid,especially with TG and HDL -L,so we could screening HUA by blood lipid,which can reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular disease effectively.

Objective To evaluate the reversal effect of a cholinergic receptor agonist on acantholysis in pemphigus,and to investigate its mechanism.Methods Human HaCaT keratinocytes were co-cultured with pemphigus vulgaris immunoglobulin G (PV-IgG) to establish a cell model of pemphigus,then classified into two groups to be incubated with the cholinergic receptor agonist carbachol for 12 hours (test group) or remain untreated (control group).Cell dissociation assay was performed to quantitatively estimate the reversal effect of carbachol on acantholysis,and immunofluorescence assay to qualitatively assess the changes of desmosomal proteins.Radio-immunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer and Triton X-100 were used to lyse HaCaT cells to obtain total proteins and cytoplasmic proteins,and Western blot was conducted to determine the expression levels of adhesion-related proteins desmoglein 3 (Dsg3) and plakoglobin (PG) on the surface of HaCaT cells,as well as the phosphorylation levels of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) at different time points.Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was performed to detect the mRNA expressions of the above surface proteins,and coimmunoprecipitation assay to qualitatively evaluate the interaction between Dsg3 and PG.Results The number of cell debris was significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (18.67 ± 2.52 vs.46.67 ± 2.03,t =11.22,P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence assay showed that carbachol could reverse the internalization of desmosomal molecules induced by PV-IgG.In the pemphigus cell model,the levels of total Dsg3 and PG as well as non-desmosomal Dsg3 were decreased,while the level of non-desmosomal PG increased,and the interaction between Dsg3 and PG was attenuated.When the pemphigus cell model was co-cultured with carbachol,these above changes were reversed.Carbachol also increased the mRNA levels (expressed as 2-△△Ct) of Dsg3 and PG from 1.428 ± 0.215 and 1.563 ± 0.247 in the control group to 4.974 ± 0.948 (t =3.65,P =0.01) and 13.420 ± 1.715 (t =6.85,P ＜ 0.01) in the test group respectively.In phosphorylation assay,carbachol inhibited the phosphorylation of EGFR,but had no significant effect on that of p38 MAPK.Conclusions The cholinergic receptor agonist carbachol can reverse acantholysis in pemphigus,likely by inhibiting the internalization of Dsg3 and PG,enhancing their expressions and interaction,and suppressing the phosphorylation of the key signaling molecule for acantholysis,EGFR.
