Objective To construct an eukaryotic expression plasmid PeDNA3.1 (+)/Lpp20 and to detect its expression in HeLa cells, and to observe the humoral and cellular immune responses in C57BL/6 mice induced by the Helicobacter pylori Lpp20 DNA vaccine injected intramuscularly. Methods The Lpp20 gene was amplified by PCR. PCR product was subcloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 (+)/ Lpp20, and the recombinant plasmid was transfected into HeLa cells using Liposome. After verifying that the Lpp20 antigen gene could be expressed in HeLa cells. Six weeks old C57BL/6 mice were immunized with pcDNA3.1 (+)/Lpp20 or pcDNA3.1 (+) or PBS buffer intramuscularly at 2-week interval for four times. ELISA was used for the quantitative detection of the specific IgG antibody in the sera of C57BL/6 mice and the cytokine IFN-γ in mice spleen lymphocyte culture medium after stimulating by Lpp20. The proliferation response of spleen cells was detected by MTT assay. The Lpp20 gene in muscle was identified by PCR. Results The significant specific antibody titers were detected by ELISA in DNA vaccine groups and the highest titer was 1:1024 after 6 weeks. The cytnkine IFN-γ in mice inoculated with pcDNA3.1 (+)/Lpp20 was increased and reached (410.36±56.23) pg/ml. A significant difference was tested between the experiment group and the control group[(25.26±10.85)pg/ml] ,P <0.01. The proliferation response of spleen cells of DNA vaccine group(SI: 2.37±0.22) was significantly higher than those of mice injected with pcDNA3.1 (+) (SI:1.53+0.47) ,P<0.01. Lpp20 gene could exist constantly in musculature cells of mice. Conclusion The eukaryotic expression recombinant pcDNA3.1 (+)/Lpp20 was successfully constructed. Strong humoral and cellular im-munity can be induced by DNA vaccine of pcDNA3.1(+)/Lpp20 in C57BL/6 mice, which might be helpful for further investigation concerning the immunoprotection of DNA vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the research competence and training needs of young general practitioners (GPs) in Guangdong province.Methods:A questionnaire survey on research competence and training needs was conducted in December 2020 among GPs from one selected economically developed area and one selected less developed area in Guangdong Province.Results:A total of 172 young GPs were included in the study. The survey showed that 75.6% (130/172) and 76.2% (131/172) respondents thought that participation in scientific research and research literacy were important, but only 11.9% (21/172) had participated in research project, among whom 81.0% (17/21) undertook data collection. The basic score of evidence-based medicine was 24.00(21.00, 28.00), and 55.2% respondents (95/172) were able search literature when they encountered problems and 43.7% (77/172) used domestic databases. The self-assessment score of scientific research ability was 14.00(12.00, 17.00), the score of research training needs was 41.00(31.00, 49.50), and the scores of "scientific research topic selection, scientific research design, statistical analysis, organization and implementation, and paper writing" were generally high. There was significant difference in the total scores of the two scales of evidence-based medicine basis and scientific research ability self-assessment among respondents with different educational background ( P<0.05). The basic score of evidence-based medicine of orientation-trained GPs was higher than that of non-orientation-tranined GPs; the average score of research training needs in female respondents was higher than that in males ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The study suggests that young general practitioners have inadequate experience in research participation and organization, and low self-ratings of research competence, but generally high personal efficacy in research. It is recommended that appropriate training content and well-organized intervention should be developed for young GPs.
