Though prokaryotic cells could hardly express recombinant human beta nerve growth factor (rhNGF-?) with a proper three-dimensional conformation, using of E. coli as a host for industrial production of rhNGF-? is controversial. Recombinant human beta NGF was expressed in E. coli and was refolded in vitro. The isolated products was shown to be consistent with those expressed and secreted by CHO cells in biochemical characters by SDS-PAGE, RP-HPLC, mass spectrometry, N terminal analysis and bioassay determined using DRG and PC12 cells. The products can be acquired with 95% purity, 1.8 ng/U biological activity from both expression system,which remain invariable biological activity when lyophilized in excipient and store at 37℃?2℃, RH 75%?5% for 3 months. Moreover, the product refolded from inclusion bodies of E. coli shows the predominance in homogeneity and the lower cost.

Objective: To investigate the laboratory,clinical and economic results of early postoperative enteral nutrition(EEN) in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.Methods: 120 patients with gastrointestinal cancer were randomly divided into three groups: EEN,early postoperative parenteral nutrition(PN), and traditional nutrition(CON)groups.The 1/3 and 2/3 target volumes were administered on the first and second postoperative days(1POD,2POD),and the full volume was given from 3POD to 8POD in EEN and PN groups.The routine formula was offerd from 1POD to 8POD in CON group.The nutritional and immune parameters were detected one day before surgery and 9POD, and the clinical and economic results were collected in three groups.Results: The levels of ALB,TF,PA,CD3,CD4,CD4/CD8 were significantly higher in EEN and PN groups than those in CON group(both P＜0.01),and the CD3,CD4,CD4/CD8 were better in EEN group than those in PN group(P＜0.05).The side effects of EEN group were similar to those of PN group(P>0.05). The recovery of bowel function was quicker in EEN group than that in PN and CON groups(both P＜0.05).The complication rate, cost of nutrition support,and cost of complication treatment were lower in EEN group than those in PN group(P＜0.05, P＜0.01, P＜0.01).Although the cost of nutrition support was lowest but the complication rate and cost of complication treatment were all highest in CON group.Conclusion: EEN is better in immune function, recovery of bowel function,complication rate, and cost-effectiveness than those in PN, and from our multiple angular viewpoints EEN is the first choice for patients with gastrointestinal cancer.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect differences on post-stroke dysphagia among acupoint injection combined with neural electrical stimulation, acupoint injection, neural electrical stimulation, and swallowing training respectively, so eligible intervention can be applied to this kind of disease.
METHODSOne hundred and eight-three patients of post-stroke dysphagia were randomized into a comprehensive treatment group (42 cases), an acupoint injection group (44 cases), a neural electrical stimulation group (49 cases) and a swallow training group (48 cases) and were treated with the comprehensive therapy of acupoint injection and neural electrical stimulation, acupoint injection, neural electrical stimulation and swallowing training separately. The treatments for 10 days made one session. There were 3 days at the interval among treatment sessions and 3 sessions were required totally. The cases in those treatment groups were blankly controlled with the other 47 patients of post-stroke dysphagia. All the patients received basic rehabilitation treatment. The modified water swallowing test was conducted to assess the efficacy before treatment, 10 days after treatment and 30 days after treatment in each group separately. The clinical efficacy, score of water swallowing test and improvement in water swallow test were compared among the groups.
RESULTSAfter 10-day treatment, the differences in efficacy and score of water swallow test were not significant in each group (all P > 0.05). After 30-day treatment, the effective rate (94.29%, 33/35) in the comprehensive treatment group was apparently better than 68.75% (22/32) in the acupoint injection group, 80.00% (32/40) in the neural electrical stimulation group, 67.50% (27/40) in the swallowing training group and 42.86% (12/28) in the blank group separately. The score in water swallow test in the comprehensive treatment group was lower than that in each of the other groups (1.37 ± 0.60 vs 2.03 ± 1.00, 1.90 ± 0.90, 2.20 ± 0.72, 2.71 ± 0.90, all P < 0.05). The differences in the effective rate and score in water swallow test were not significant among the acupoint injection group, neural electrical stimulation group and swallowing training group (all P > 0.05), which indicated that the improvement in swallowing function in the comprehensive treatment group was significantly superior to the other groups (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe comprehensive therapy of acupoint injection and neural electrical stimulation achieves the much better efficacy on post-stroke dysphagia.
