Objective To Construct fusion gene DNA vaccine pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and fusion gene DNA vaccine pcDNA3/MDC-VP1,then the two vaccines were inoculated to mice and stuy their immunological effects.Methods B subunit of Shiga Toxin(STxB)gene fragment were amplified by PCR from the DNA of Shigella dysenteriae and Macrophage-derived chemokine(MDC)gene fragment was amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA of a mouse spleen cells.The DNA fragments of STxB and MDC waere respectively linked to coxsackievirus B3(CVB3)VP1 by a DNA sequence which encode a flexible polypeptide(15 amino acids)to construct eukaryotic expression plasmids pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and pcDNA3/MDC-VP1.BALB/c mice were randomized to 6 groups which were respectively immunized pcDNA3,pcDNA3/STxB,pcDNA3/MDC,pcDNA3/VP1,pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 for 3 times at 3-week intervals,intramuscularly(i.m.)in tibialis anterior muscle.The levels of the serum neutralizing antibodies were detected 20d after each inoculation.The mice were challenged with 7 LD50 CVB3 3 weeks after the last immunization.Results The fusion gene vaccines pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 and pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 were constructed successfully.The survival rates of each group were 10%,10%,15%,40%,20% and 75%,respectively,and the levels of neutralizing antibody titers,virused titers,were all consistent with those survive rates in each group.Conclusion Comparing with pcDNA3/VP1,pcDNA3/MDC-VP1 vaccine can induce a high level of neutralizing antibody titers and result in a higher survival rate in mice,while pcDNA3/STxB-VP1 induce a low level of neutralizing antibody titers and result in a lower survival rate in mice.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors for vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus(VRE) infections and their effective isolation measures.METHODS The data of 21 cases of VRE nosocomial infections were analyzed from Jul 2003 to Dec 2005 in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital;28 cases of antibiotic-sensitive Enterococcus infection were randomized as control.T test,chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis were used for statistics.Strict measures were taken to all of the VRE infected patients.RESULTS According to univariate analysis,the factors associated with the development of VRE nosocomial infection were age,in ICU,accepted invasive operation,Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ),live in hospital more than 30 days,co-infection with other pathogens,and fluoroquinolone and vancomycin/norvancomycin use 15 days before isolation of VRE.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified two independent factors: accepted invasive operation and previous vancomycin/norvancomycin use.Spreading of VRE had not occurred.CONCLUSIONS Accepted invasive operation and previous vancomycin/norvancomycin use are independent risk factors for VRE infection.Effective measures can prevent the spread of VRE.

Extraction process plays an important role in Chinese herbal medicine applications. Traditional extraction method has some disadvantages, such as long processing time, high solvent consumption and low efficiency. Thus, some new technologies and methods have been introduced in this paper, including ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, supercritical fluid extraction. On the basis of advantages and disadvantages of traditional Soxhlet extrac-tion, this paper mainly described the principles, characteristics, influencing parameters and applications.

Mesenchymal to epithelial transition (MET), whereby mesenchymal cells become more epithelial like in phenotype, was observed to occur during normal development and in cancers. Numerous investigations have been conducted on MET in carcino-mas. In addition, accumulating evidence also suggests the critical function of MET in sarcomas. Integrated analyses reveal that MET may be an important biological and clinical process in sarcomas, and transcription factors such as Slug may also perform central func-tions in epithelial differentiation in several sarcomas such as leiomyo-sarcoma and synovial sarcoma. Given the scarcity of investiga-tions and evidence, several important issues about MET, such as its molecular markers, signaling mechanisms, micro RNA regulations, and clinical significance, need to be clarified. In this article, we review several important questions about MET in sarcomas, including molecular markers, signaling mechanisms, regulation by miRNAs, and therapeutic implications.

Objective:To investigate the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation on anxiety/depression and subjective/objective sleep quality of elderly patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods:From February 2018 to February 2019, 120 elderly patients with stable COPD were selected and randomly divided into the experimental group (pulmonary rehabilitation exercise combined with conventional COPD treatment) and the control group (simple COPD conventional treatment). Sixty cases in each group were intervened for 8 weeks. Before and after treatment, Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) was used to evaluate anxiety, Hamilton depression scale(HAMD)was used to evaluate depression, Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)and sleep log were used to evaluate subjective sleep quality, and objective sleep quality was monitored by multi-channel sleep monitor.SPSS 21.0 software was used to analyze and process the data. Chi square test, independent sample t test and paired t test were used for statistical analysis. Results:After 8 weeks of intervention, the HAMA and HAMD scores of the experimental group were lower than those of the control group (HAMA: (7.57±3.19) vs (10.15±4.89), t=-3.428, P=0.001; HAMD: (8.22±4.73) vs (10.60±6.49), t=-2.300, P=0.023). COPD patients with anxiety decreased (χ 2=7.566, P=0.006). After treatment, the subjective sleep latency of the experimental group was shorter than that of the control group ((42.00±9.88)min vs (47.25±10.27)min, t=-2.854, P=0.005). The subjective sleep efficiency was higher than that of the control group ((76.00±4.50)% vs (74.00±5.20)%, t=2.272, P=0.025), and the objective sleep latency was shorter than that of the control group ((28.02±5.59)min vs (32.95±6.21)min, t=-4.575, P<0.05). Conclusion:Pulmonary rehabilitation exercise can improve the anxiety and depression of elderly patients with stable COPD, and improve the subjective and objective sleep quality.
