Porphyromonas gingivalis is a specific causative agent of human chronic periodontitis. This anaerobe produce collagenase PrtC encoded by prtC. To constructed the prokaryotic expression system for the prtC gene from P.gingivalis so as to be used to explore antigenicity and immunoreactivity of prtC gene product as well as the relationship between the local level of PrtC and the periodontitis damage, the entire length of prtC genes fragment from the ATCC-33277 and 47A-1 strains of P.gingivalis was amplified by PCR. After T-A cloning and sequencing, the prokaryotic expression system for prtC was constructed by using pET32a plasmid and E.coli BL21DE3 strain. The expression of the target recombinant PrtC protein was induce with different concentrations of IPTG. Western blot assay was used to detect the antigenicity and immunoreactivity of PrtC protein, and ELISA assay was used to detect the PrtC level in the subgingival plaque samples of patients with chronic periodontitis. The experimental results showed that the nucleotide sequences of the prtC genes from ATCC-33277 and 47A-1 strains of P.gingivalis were entirely identical, and the sequence similarities of nucleotides and amino acids were 98.46% and 99.07% respectively. Under the induction of different concentration of IPTG, the output of recombinant expressed product PrtC may reach up to 50% of the total bacterial proteins. It was also proved that the recombinant PrtC could bind with antibody against the whole cell of P.gingivalis, and could induce the production of specific antibodies in rabbit. In 91.39% of the subgingival plaque samples, the PrtC could be detectable, in which the level of positive rates of detection was higher in severe cases of chronic periodontitis than that in the mild cases. So far, a prokaryotic expression system for the prtC gene from P.gingivalis with high expression efficiency was successfully constructed in the present study, and the expressed product PrtC possesses well antigenicity and immunoreactivity, suggesting the possibility to be used as the candidate antigen for developing the serological kit and P.gingivalis vaccine.

The clinical data of 8 patients with the fourth-degree laceration of perineum, who were admitted in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2004 to December 2010, were reviewed retrospectively. The causes and clinical strategies were analyzed. The fourth-degree laceration of perineum was mainly caused by improper skills of midwifery, too faster labor,insufficient estimation of fetal-weight and perineal condition and obstetric forceps in this group of patients.Primary suture was performed and all cases achieved complete healing. The improvement of midwifery skill,carefully monitoring the uterine contraction, accurate evaluation of condition of perineum and the fetal-weight and good communication between patients and midwives are the key points to prevent the fourth-degree laceration of perineum.

Two lipase active fractions Lip1 and Lip2 were purified from the cell extract of Rhizopus chinensis CCTCCM201021.Both gave a single band on SDS-PAGE after using ammonium sulfate precipitation、Phenyl-Sepharose FF、DEAE-Sepharose FF and Sephadex G100 gel filtration chromatographies.The molecular masses of two lipases were 59.2kD and 39.4kD respectively.Lip1 and Lip2 showed optimal pH at 8.0 and 8.5 and their optimal temperatures were 40℃ and 35℃ respectively.The substrate specificity of the two lipases was obviously different.Lip1 was more specific to long chain fatty acid of p-nitrophenyl esters while Lip2 had a preference for the hydrolysis of short chain fatty acid of p-nitrophenyl esters.Lip1 had 1,3-position specificity for triacylglycerols hydrolysis while Lip2 had nonspecific position.Both lipases were stimulated by Ca 2+、Mg 2+ while SDS had strong inhibition on their activities.Lip1 and Lip2 had good stability in cyclohexane、hexane、heptane and isooctane(30% V/V).

This paper presents the preliminary design of data acquisition system of a portable uroflowmeter. The system uses double-hole cantilever pressure sensor. The signal is transferred to ATmega644PA microprogrammed control unit (MCU), converted by A/D (analog to digital) convertor. Then the further data are processed and get the corresponding relationship of weight-time and two curves of urine flow and urinary flow rate. In the measurement accuracy of the device about urine flow, two factors about the placement and height of the data acquisition are analyzed to show the accuracy of the equipment through the Origin 8.0 data analysis software. The design is characterized by low cost and high speed of data collection, real-time, high accuracy.

Objective To generate the spaO-ompA fusion gene of Salmonella paratyphi A and its prokaryotic expression system,and to determine the immunoprotection of the recombinant expression product rSpaO-OmpA.Methods A flexible peptide sequence was used to link spaO and ompA genes and a prokaryotic expression system of spaO-ompA fusion gene was subsequently generated.SDS-PAGE and Bio-Rad Agarose Image Analyzer were applied to examine the expression as well as the yield of the target recombinant protein rSpaO-OmpA.The antigenicity and immunoreactivity of rSpaO-OmpA were determined using immunodiffusion test,Western Blot assay and micro-Widal's test.By a mouse infection model,the immunoprotection of rSpaO-OmpA against the lethal challenge of S.paratyphi A was determined.In the animal protective test,the recombinant expressed SpaO (rSpaO) and OmpA ( rOmpA ) were used as the controls.Results The generated spaO-ompA fusion gene had 100% nucleotide and amino acid sequence identities compared to the single spaO or ompA gene.The constructed prokaryotic expression system IPTG E.coli BL21DE3pET42a-spaO-ompA expressed the recombinant protein rSpaO-OmpA.rSpaO-OmpA combined with the antiserum against wholecell of S.paratyphi A to present positive hybridization signal and induced specific antibody in the immunized rabbits.Immunization with 100 or 200 μg rSpaO-OmpA contributed 66.7% (8/12) or 83.3% (10/12) immunoprotective rates in mice when the animals were attacked with S.paratyphi A.The immunoprotective rates produced by rSpaO-OmpA were significantly higher than that of equal rSpaO or rOmpA( P<0.05 ).The sera from rSpaO-OmpA immunized mice presented 1∶5-1∶40 agglutination titers to the H antigens of different S.paratyphi species,and 1∶1-1∶16 immunodiffusion titers to rSpaO,rOmpA and rSpaO-OmpA proteins,respectively.Conclusion The artificially fusion antigen,rSpaO-OmpA,has more powerful immunogenicity and immunoprotection that the equal rSpaO or rOmpA.
