Objective:To construct Streptococcus suis type 2 Δ0948 complementary strain and verify its effect on suilysin (SLY) secretion and virulence. Methods:The SSU05_0948 gene sequence with promoter was amplified by PCR and ligated to pAT18 vector to construct complementary strain and verify its expression through Western blot. Growth curve was drawn to compare the growth of complementary strain against the wild-type strain and mutant strain in different periods. CD1 mice challenge model was used to verify whether complementary strain could restore the virulence of mutant. SLY hemolytic activity and Western blot were compared the effect of complementary strain and wild-type strain and mutant strain on SLY protein secretion at different time points.Results:The complementary strain was successfully constructed, but the expression of SSU05_0948 was lower than the wild-type strain. The growth rate of the complementary strain was significantly slower than the wild-type strain and mutant strain in the logarithmic growth phase, but the same in the platform phase. The CD1 mice challenge model showed the complementary strain could basically restore the virulence of the mutant strain. The hemolytic activity of SLY and Western blot showed that SSU05_0948 could inhibit the secretion of SLY protein in the early and middle logarithmic phase, but did not affect the secretion of SLY in the late logarithmic and platform phase, while the complementary strain could restore the secretion of SLY protein.Conclusions:The complementary strain CΔ0948 of Streptococcus suis can restore the virulence of mutant strain Δ0948, and SSU05_0948 affects the virulence of Δ0948, which provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of Streptococcus suis.

Objective To investigate the interactive effects between batroxobin and low molecular weight heparin(LMWH)in reducing peri-operative blood loss and coagulation function in patients who undergone the total hip replacement surgery. Methods 240 ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients received 4 000 IU LMWH 12 hours preoperatively before undergoing the total hip replacement operation,were randomly divided into two groups:testing group (Group A,n=120) and control group(Group B,n=120)receiving 2 U batroxobin or 50 mg mannitol 10 minutes before incision respectively. Perioperative blood loss,postoperative 24 hours drainage and blood routine test, prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) and fibrinogen(FIB) were measured respectively. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) were measured through color Doppler B-ultrasound 3 days after the operation. Results The perioperative blood loss in Group A (422.64 ml)was less than that in Group B(667.67 ml)(P<0.01)while red blood cell,hemoglobin, red blood cell volume and platelet were decreasing after operation in both groups but no significant difference was found between the two groups(P>0.05). There were no drug-related adverse effects found in the two groups,neither the difference in hospitalization between the two groups(P>0.05). Conclusion Batroxobin (2 U) could reduce the perioperative blood loss in patients with LMWH who had undergone the total hip replacement operation but did not show adverse effect on DVT.
