[Objective] Subtractive cDNA libraries from the leaves of D. candidum were constructed to supply evidence for the clone of dendrobine-biosynthesis-associated genes. [ Methods ] Suppression subtractive hybridization ( SSH) technology was used. With the cDNA of perennial leaf as the tester and that of annual leaf as the driver, forward and reverse hybridization was performed. The two obtained subtracted cDNA fragments were cloned into PointTMXa-1 plasmid vectors, and then the vectors were transformed into E. Coli JM109. The inserted fragments were amplified by PCR and then identified. [Results] The subtractive cDNA libraries related with dendrobine-biosynthesis-associated genes were successfully constructed. The forward and reverse subtractive libraries included 560 and 220 clones respectively. Detected by PCR, the length of the inserted fragments was 550 bp on average. [Conclusion] The constructed subtractive libraries are suitable for further study on the functional genes associated with dendrobine biosynthesis of D. candidum.

[Objective] cDNA expression libraries from the leaves of Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex lindl. were constructed to supply evidence for the clones of the full-length genes involved in the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds. [Methods] Total RNA was isolated and purified from tender leaves of 4-year-growing Dendrobium candidum by using Trizol single-step method. cDNA was synthesized by long distance polymerase chain reaction (LD-PCR) and then was connected to ?TripIEX2. After that, the recombinant bacteriophages were packaged and cDNA library of Dendrobium candidum was constructed. The titer of cDNA library was expressed as the number of phage formation unit (pfu) per milliliter and the inserted fragment was identified by PCR amphfication. [Results] cDNA expression libraries from the leaves of Dendrobium candidum were constructed successfully. The titer of the original library was 4.3?105 pfu/mL and 3.1?105 clones in total, with a recombinant rate of 97.6%. The amplified titer was 6.8?109pfu/mL. PCR amplification suggested that the inserted cDNA fragments ranged from 0.5 to 2.0 kb, mostly from 1.2 to 1.7 kb. [Conclusion] The constructed Dendrobium candidum cDNA library has a higher titer, a higher recombinant percentage and larger inserted fragments.

Objective To discuss the efficacy of photoselective vaporization of the prostate(PVP) for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods From July 2006 to August 2007,110 patients with BPH received PVP in our hospital.The safety of the procedure,Pre- and postoperative Qmax,and IPSS of the cases were recorded and analyzed.Results The mean operation time was(51.2?36.3) minutes(ranged from 15 to 180).In the patients,23 cases had a prostate weighed ≥100 g,9 of them received TURP during the procedure.89 patients underwent bladder irrigation for 15 to 48 hours(mean,36 hours).After the operation,urinary catheter was left indwelling in all the patients except for 6(

Objective To evaluate effects of steep meridian clear corneal incisions on corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism in phacoemulsification surgery . Methods Clinical data of 56 cases of phacoemulsification surgery with steep meridian clear corneal incisions from August to December 2015 were analyzed in this retrospective study .Corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism were measured with the Pentacam 3D anterior segment measurement and analysis system at the time before surgery and 1 month and 3 months after surgery .The polar coordinate analysis was used to evaluate effects of steep meridian incisions on corneal astigmatism . Results All the operations were accomplished successfully with smooth recovery .The corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism reduced significantly after 1 month and 3 months in astigmatic polar value AKP ( +0) (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found in AKP(+45) (P>0.05).No significant differences were detected between both corneal anterior surface and total astigmatism in AKP(+0) or AKP(+45) between 1 month and 3 months after surgery. Conclusion Steep meridian incision performed on the preoperative steeper meridian of keratometric astigmatism may reduce corneal total astigmatism .

Objective By analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of brucellosis in Shanxi Province,to provide a scientific basis in formulation of strategies for effective prevention and control of the disease.Method Surveillance data of human brucellosis from China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention between 2004 and 2013 were statistically analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method.The regional,time,age and sex,occupational distribution of brucellosis were analyzed.The prevalence trend of brucellosis in Shanxi Province was summarized.Results From 2004 to 2013,the total incidence presented a rising tendency and the highest reported incidence was 19.10/10 million in 2013.A total of 43 061 cases of brucellosis occurred in Shanxi Province.The average incidence of brucellosis was 12.52/10 million.Regional distribution range was relatively focused on the north areas of Shanxi Province,the number of reported cases of Datong City was the largest (12 157 cases),being 28.23％.The incidence of Shuozhou City was the highest (42.97/10 million).The epidemic was spreading through all county areas.The disease was found each month throughout the year,the obvious incidence peak seasons were between March and June.The disease was most commonly found in 15-64 age groups(87.19％,37 545/43 061).Occupation distribution of patients was mainly farmers (83.34％,35 887/43 061).Conclusions The situation of brucellosis epidemic in Shanxi Province is relatively serious;the reported incidence of brucellosis in Shanxi Province is in a rapid upward trend year by year,even highly active in some particular areas.Different regions should establish regional mechanisms for joint prevention and control and implement different prevention and control measures to comprehensively and sequentially control brucellosis.

BACKGROUND:A new type of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve has been developed using pulsed laser deposition technology at the Department of Materials, Hefei University and Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatibility of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve with human umbilical vein endothelial cels. METHODS:Human umbilical vein endothelial cels were in vitroisolated, cultured and passaged to the 2-4 generations, and then the cel suspension was inoculated onto the nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve. After 3, 7, 12 days of culture, the cel growth on the artificial mechanical heart valve was observed under scanning electron microscope. In addition, the human umbilical vein endothelial cels were respectively cultured in room-temperature and high-temperature extract liquids of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve, high-density polyethylene and phenol solution extracts for 72 hours, and then, the proliferation of cels was detected by MTT method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscope, the human umbilical vein endothelial cels were fusiform- or polygon-shaped with protuberances adhered to the artificial mechanical heart value at 3 days of culture; the cels were stretched thoroughly and fused at 7 days of culture; and the cels were confluent to pieces that tightly overlaid the heart valve surface and the extracelular matrix was formed localy at 21 days of culture. Results from MTT test displayed that the nano-hydroxyapatite artificial mechanical heart valve had no cytotoxicity to the human umbilical vein endothelial cels, indicating a good cytocompatibility.
