Cyclic amp receptor protein (CRP) is a global transcriptional factor in many prokaryotes, capable of governing nearly half of the total genes in Escherichia coli. Through the method of error-prone PCR or DNA shuffling, we can first obtain CRP mutant library and then get the expected cell phenotype with enhanced resistance. In this article, we reviewed the following desired phenotype: enhanced tolerance towards oxidative stress, improved osmotolerance, enhanced organic solvent (toluene) tolerance, improved acetate tolerance of E. coli fermentation and improved ethanol tolerance during bio-ethanol production. We then concluded that CRP can also be applied in other host cells to get desired phenotypes. Last, we predicted potential applications of mutant CRP transcriptional factor.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and efficacy of short peptide enteral nutrition in preoperative bowel preparation for patients with gynecological laparoscopy.Methods:A total of 100 patients with gynecological laparoscopy were randomized into the trial group (n =50) and the control group (n =50) by using the random number table method.Patients in the study group received short peptide enteral nutrition for three days before operation without mechanical bowel preparation.Patients in the control group received traditional liguid diet and mechanical bowel preparation.The satisfaction of bowel preparation,postoperative anal exhaust time,hospitalization time and nutritionrelated parameters were compared between the two groups.Results:Doctor's satisfaction of bowel preparation in the study group was significantly higher than the control group (90％ vs 64％) (P ＜ 0.01).Postoperative anal exhaust time and hospitalization time were shorter in the control group (both P ＜ 0.05).The levels of postoperative albumin and hemoglobin in study group were significantly higher than the control group (bothP ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Short peptide EN in preoperative bowel preparation of gynecological laparoscopy reveals a better efficacy and safety,a better recovery in postoperative intestinal function and nutritional status,and a shorter postoperative hospitalization time.It is well worth clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate status about the heart rate variability and executive function in patients with insomnia.Methods The study involves 165 cases of patients with insomnia and 92 cases normal.The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) screening for insomnia,Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) for the assessment of executive function and Self-generate Physiological Coherence System (SPCS) were used to collect the data of heart rate variability (HRV).Results The SDNN,RMSSD,TP,LF,HF of HRV of the insomnia group were significantly higher than these factors of control group (t=2.712,2.726,2.427,2.542,2.338,P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01).In the WCST,number of completed categories,conceptualization percentage of the group of patients with insomnia were significantly lower than the control group (t=-2.368,-2.165,all P＜0.05),persistent errors,persistent error percentages,continuous number of responses of patients' group were significantly higher than the control group (t=2.712,2.991,2.690,all P＜0.01).TP,LF,HF,LF/HF of HRV and the number of error responses,persistent errors,persistent error percentages,continuous number of responses of WCST had significant negative correlations (r=-0.171--0.245,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),while the conceptualization percentage were significantly positively correlated (r=0.198-0.227,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion The results show that insomnia not only cause individual autonomic disorders,but damage the executive function of prefrontal.HRV and executive function in patients with insomnia have close relationships.

Objective To explore the feasibility of detecting the cytokeratin 20 (CK-20) mRNA in exfoliated urothelial cells for the diagnosis of bladder carcinoma. Methods Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of CK-20 mRNA in cells collected from the urine of 45 cases of bladder cancer, 15 cases of cystitis accompanied by hematuria, 10 healthy volunteers, and 7 different cell lines, including bladder cancer cell line T24, kidney cancer 786-0 and GRC-1, breast cancer MCF-7 and MDA-MB-435, and ovary cancer SKOV 3 and 3AO. Results CK-20 mRNA expression was detected in 36 of 41 cases of bladder transitional cell carcinoma (87.80%), in 18 of the 21 GⅠ patients (85.71%), in 11 of the 13 GⅡ patients (84.62%), in 7 of the 7 GⅢ patients (100%), in 20 of the 22 T a-1 patients (90.91%), and in 16 of the 19T 2-4 patients (84.21%). Sensitivity of the method was found to be 87.80%, whereas specificity was 73.33%. In 15 patients with hematuria, there were 4 cases of false positive: 1 case of BPH, 1 case of atypical hyperplasia, 1 case of chronic inflammation, and 1 case undergoing TURP previously. CK-20 amplification band was also obtained in all of 19 cases of bladder transitional cell tumor tissues and bladder cancer cell line T24, but not in 4 patients with non-transitional cell carcinoma and 6 other tumor cell lines. No false positive cases were found in the healthy control group. Conclusion These results suggest that CK-20 might be a useful tumor marker for early noninvasive diagnosis and follow-up of bladder cancer by detecting CK-20 mRNA expression of uroepithelial cells from the voided urine specimen by RT-PCR.

Objective:To evaluate the present situation and future development for undergraduate major construction of health service and management.Methods:One hundred and twenty-three domestic universities with undergraduate health service and management major were selected as the research subjects. This paper analyzed the present situation of major distribution and aim setting, faculty, curriculum system, construction of teaching material, enrollment number, graduate destination, among other areas, using network data collection, questionnaire survey, and descriptive analysis methods. It also analyzed the development trend of this major with regards to the national policy guidance and discipline development dynamics.Results:The results showed that the number of domestic universities with undergraduate major for health service and management had increased from 5 in 2016 to 123 at present, with an average annual growth rate of 472.0%. The curriculum system of various universities covered 13 core courses, such as management and introduction to basic medicine. The total credits required for graduation ranged from 149 to 224, and the proportion of practical teaching in the teaching plan ranged from 12.1% to 45.1%. The credit requirements varied greatly; moreover, the proportion of practical teaching in most universities was not high and the content was narrow. Among the 21 universities participating in the questionnaire survey, 47.6% of them focused their education on cultivating versatile talents, 52.4% had 4-6 full-time teachers, 47.2% of all full-time teachers were 31-40 years old, 42.9% universities had teachers with senior professional titles accounting for 30%-40% of the faculty, and 28.6% universities had teachers with doctoral degrees comprising ≥50% of the faculty. The aim setting of most universities was more or less vague, the number of full-time teachers couldn′t meet the needs of major development, and the connotation construction lagged relatively.Conclusions:The inconsistency of the rapid increasing number of universities with the connotation construction of major has become a key barrier to the connotative development of undergraduate major of health service and management. In the future, building the quality of teaching according to national standards; advancing the integration of government, industry, university, research, and implementation; improving faculty quality; and optimizing the curriculum system will be part of the development trend.
