Objective To construct markless gene deletion mutant at the clpP loci on the chromosome of Streptococcus mutans(S.mutans).Methods ASp resistance gene was amplified by PCR,to construct the Sp resistance cassette where the Sp resistance gene was flanked with two loxP site.After the clpP gene was cloned into the pGEM-T-Easy TA cloning vector,it was digested and linked with the Sp resistance cassette,yielding homologous recombination vector pIB △ clpP-Sp.The vector was linearized and used for the transformation of S.mutans UA159,with transformants selected on TPY plates containing Sp.The selected strain was transformed with the thermosensitive plasmid pCrePA to excise the Sp resistance gene.The pCre-PA was then easily eliminated at nonpermissive temperature,resulting in a markless mutant strain carrying a deletion at the clpP loci,which was verified by PCR and DNA sequencing.Results The result of the PCR analysis and DNA sequencing indicated that a part of the clpP gene was deleted.There was a loxP at this loci without the Sp resistance gene.Conclusion The markless clpP-deletion mutant of S.mutans was constructed successfully,which laid a foundation for further study of its biological function and its influence on the cariogenicity of S.mutans.

Objective To compare the discrepancy and consistency in mechanical axis and component position measured by electromagnetic navigation and radiograph in total knee arthroplasty (TKA)to assess whether the navigation system can be used as a substitute for radiograph.Methods A perspective study was performed on 40 cases (61 knees) undergone primary TKA under electromagnetic navigation from July 2006 to December 2006.There were 4 males and 36 females,at a mean age of (66.9 ±8.1) years (range,58-79 years).Mechanical axis angle,distal femoral and proximal tibial cut slope in coronal view (angles cα,β) were recorded both pre-and post-operatively with an intraoperative navigation system and compared against the mechanical axis angle,coronal femoral and tibial slope (angles α,β)measured via full-length radiograph of the lower limb preoperatively and at postoperative 3 months.Consistency in measurement of the same parameters with the two methods was assessed using intraclass coefficiency correlation (ICC).Results Mechanical axis determined by navigation and radiograph showed a mean valgus angle of 9.60° and 9.99° preoperatively and of 1.23° and 1.64° postoperatively,but the two pair parameters revealed no significant differences in the non-parametric test.Mean angle α determined by navigation and radiograph was 89.98° and 88.96° respectively (P < 0.05),and mean angleβ was 90.21 ° and 89.59°respectively (P < 0.05).With deviation value ≤3°,ICC for pre-and post-operative mechanical axis angles,angle α and angleβ was 0.887,0.754,0.632,0.640 respectively.Conclusions Within the acceptable range of deviation,intraoperative navigation data can reflect the pre-and post-operative mechanical axis and prosthesis position evaluated by radiograph.However,the advantages over the consistency of the two measurement methods rest with the evaluation of pre-and post-operative mechanical

BACKGROUND:It is generaly believed that the spine wil be extended, and vertebral muscle atrophy, bone loss of vertebral body, increased height and area of intervertebral disc, changes of composition of intervertebral disc wil occur in the condition of weightlessness. These are likely to be the cause of high incidence of low back pain. OBJECTIVE:To observe changes in lumbar spine bone microstructure analysis of simulated weightlessness on rhesus lumbar spine biomechanics. METHODS:Fourteen young rhesus monkeys were randomly divided into two groups: control group (n=7;free activities in the cage during the experiment), and experimental group (n=7; the use of head-down-10° on a special bed by bundle lying to simulate weightlessness). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) The results of Micro-CT examination: in the experimental group, structure model index in trabecular bone of increased. Trabecular bone changed from plate-like to the rod-like change. The intersection number of bone tissue in unit length to non-bone tissue declined. The average width of the canal between the trabecular bone increased, suggesting that there have been signs of osteoporosis in the experimental group. (2) Under an optical microscope, in the experimental group, bone hyperplasia line was disordered and irregular. Thick endplate trabecularbone became smal, shalow, and arranged substantialy perpendicular to the direction of trabecular bone and cartilage endplate. The closer the endplate surface, the smaler trabecular bone was. Compared with the control group, these smal trabecular bones were thin and curved. Bone marrow cavity was oval. The degree of the connection between the trabecular bones is poor, reflecting the structural characteristics of significant osteoporosis. (3) It is indicated that weightlessness affected the biomechanical properties of rhesus lumbar motion unit.
