Objective To explore the change of cytoskeleton and the variance of Ca2+ in cultured cells during the invasion of Toxoplasma gondii. Methods Tachyzoites suspensions were gathered by routine method and used to infect phagocytic cells(J774A.1)and non-phagocytic cells (HUVEC). The ability of T. gondii invading into the cells and the influence of cytoskeleton inhibitor,colchicine and cytochalasin D,were observed by microscopy. The rearrangement of cytoskeleton of cells was observed by fluoromicroscopy. By using laser scanning confocal microscope,the variance of Ca2+ in J774A.1 and HUVEC was detected. Results Ca2+ increased greatly in J774A.1 during the invasion of T.gondii(P0.05). The microfilaments of J774A.1 were agglomerated during the invasion of T. gondii. Cytoskeleton inhibitor,cytochalasin D(P0.05)during the invasion and cytoskeleton was not changed. Cytochalasin D and colchicine showed little effect on the infection rate of HUVEC. Conclusion The concentration of Ca2+ increases greatly and cytoskeleton(mainly the microfilament)has been rearranged in phagocytic cell during the invasion of T. gondii,while both of them show no significant change in non-phagocytic cell.

According to the theory of medical ethics,ethical guidelines and moral criterions for medical laboratories are proposed based on the characteristics of the laboratories.Internal management in terms of ethics need to be strengthened,and t the quality of service needs to be improved continually,so as to ensure the rights of patient,protect staffs against professional hazards,and protect the environment.

In order to increase antigenicity of H. pylori-specific antigens and decrease the cost of further industrial production, we used a special PCR with linking primers to construct a fusion gene containing H.pylori ureB and hpaA genes and E.coli ltB gene, and to costract its prokaryotic expression system pET42a-ltB-ureB-hpaA-E.coliBL21DE3. The sequencing result indicated the 100% nucleotide sequence homology of the constructed ltB-ureB-hpaA fusion gene compared to those of the original separated genes. Output of the target recombinant protein rLTB-UreB-HpaA was approximate 15% of the total bacterial proteins measured by SDS-PAGE. The rLTB-UreB-HpaA could induce the immunized rabbits to produce specific antibodies with immunodiffusion titer of 1∶8, and could combine to the commercial rabbit antibody against the whole cell of H.pylori as well as rabbit anti-UreB and anti-HpaA sera by using Western bolt assays. Using GM1-ELISA, the ability of rLTB-UreB-HpaA binding to bovine GM1 was confirmed.And rLTB-UreB-HpaA (200 μg per mouse) could prevent 100% of the immunized BaLb/C mice from H.pylori strain SS1 infection. The co-administration with 10 μg rLTB, the rUreB or rHpa could increase its protective rates in the immunized mice from 66.7% to 81.8% and 83.3%, respectively. All these data leads a conclusion that rLTB-UreB-HpaA is a great potential as a practical genetic engineering vaccine to prevent H.pylori infection.

400 ng/ml and in those the post-LT AFP level failed to decrease to ≤20 ng/ml within 2 months. The dynamic changes of AFP after LT were valuable in predicting post-transplant HCC recurrence.
