Objective To describe the cloning of cDNA of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA),construction of the recon of PSMA,induction of the expression of 6 ? His PSMA fusion protein from PSMS recon,and purification of the expression products. Methods The total RNA was extracted from prostate cancer tissues.The site of EcoR I lying in the middle of PSMA’s cDNA was used to perform the reverse transcriptase and polymerase chain reaction of PSMA in two different parts,which were then linked into the carrier of pEt 30(a),thus the full cDNA of PSMA and the pronucleus expression carrier pET 30(a) PSMA were obtained.The pET30a (+) PSMA recon was transformed into the Escherichia coli BL 21 and the engineering bacteria expressing protein PSMA was gotten. With the induction of IPTG, the recon was expressed. The expression products were purified with Ni NTA Agarose resin, then the purer protein PSMA was obtained. The antigenicity and specificity of the expressed PSMA were evaluated with Western blotting and SDS PAGE. Results The wholly right base sequence of PSMA’s cDNA was successfully cloned.PSMA protein was expressed and purified.This protein had better antigenicity and specificity. Conclusions This study provides experimental basis for the function study of PSMA and scanning of the phage antibody library.

To investigate the biological role of snake venom cystatin(sv-cystatin) in tumor progression, the cDNA of sv-cystatin amplified by PCR from pUC18-cystatin plasmid was cloned into methanol-inducible expression vector pPICZ?A. The linearized recombinant plasmid pPICZ?A-cystatin was transfered into Pichia pastoris, strain GS115 by electrophoration. Transfermants with phenotype Mut+ selected were identified by PCR analysis and induced in 1.0% methanol. The reombinant sv-cystatin protein was examined by SDS-PAGE, Western blot analysis. The molecular mass of expression product was about 14 kDa and approximately 16 mg/L of recombinant sv-cystatin was produced from one of GS115-cystatin transformants. The chromatography purified protein could reduce the activity of papain. The ability of B16F1 cells treated with recombinant sv-cystatin to invade the reconstituted basement membrane decreased significantly (P

OBJECTIVETo compare postoperative blood loss under different negative pressures of drainage after total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures.
METHODSFrom January 1st to December 30th 2013, 74 patients with femoral neck fractures treated with total hip arthroplasty were randomly divided into two groups: high negative pressure drainage group and low negative pressure drainage group. In high negative pressure drainage group, there were 34 cases including 10 males and 24 females, with a mean age of (75.94 ± 9.02) years old, and the patients were treated with 60 kPa negative pressure of drainage. In the low negative pressure drainage group, there were 40 cases including 13 males and 27 females, with an average age of (74.93 ± 8.90) years old, and the patients were treated with 30 kPa negative pressure of drainage. The amount of total drainage, total blood loss, and hemoglobin change were compared between these two groups.
RESULTSAll the patients got primary healing without infections. In high negative pressure drainage group,the change of hemoglobin was (41.74 ± 15.69) g/L, total blood loss was (1,217.73 ± 459.50) ml and the drainage volume was (312.94 ± 103.44) ml; while in low negative pressure drainage group,the results were (34.90 ± 12.90) g/L, (904.01 ± 381.58) ml and (129.25 ± 44.25) ml separately. All the results in high negative pressure drainage group were higher than those in the other group. Three days after operation, the change of hemoglobin was (46.00 ± 13.29) g/L and total blood loss was (1,304.72 ± 421.75) ml; while in low negative pressure drainage group, the changes of hemoglobin was (43.87 ± 11.39) g/L and total blood loss was (1,196.78 ± 344.20) ml; there were no statistically significant differences between two groups.
CONCLUSIONWhen placing drainage devices after total hip arthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fractures, the level of negative pressure should be chosen according to preoperative level of hemoglobin and HCT in patients. For old patients with femoral neck fracture, low negative pressure is more suitable.

Objective To explore the correlation between mental health and social support of the seven countries peacekeeping soldiers,and provide theoretical guidance for the peacekeeping soldiers to improve the mental health status.Methods Through random cluster sampling,1143 peacekeeping soldiers were investigated with Chinese Military Mental Health Scale (CMMHS) and Social Support Scale (SSS).Results The total score of CMMHS and depression factor((61.06 ± 3.99),(10.11 ± 1.67)) of the suicidal ideation peacekeeping soldiers were significantly higher than the no-suicidal ideation peacekeeping soldiers ((59.97 ± 3.73),(8.97 ± 1.81))(P < 0.05),CMMHS total score and each factors of the seven countries peacekeeping soldiers were significantly higher than the Chinese soldiers norms (P < 0.05),and the total scores ((28.50 ± 1.69)) of the social support of the suicide idea peacekeeping soldiers was lower than the no-suicidal ideation peacekeeping soldiers ((28.92 ±1.78)) (P<0.05).The obsessive-compulsive factor,anxiety factor,depression factor,phobic anxiety factor,somatization factor,neurastheria factor and interpersonal sensitivity factor of CMMHS were the risk factors arise the mental diseases of the peacekeeping soldiers,especially the depression factor(OR =27.00,x2 =439.46,P < 0.05).The CMMHS total score and each factors had obvious negative correlation with social support scores(r =-0.199 ~0.434,P < 0.05).Analysis of multiple stepwise back displayed that the age,gender,education and social support were main factors of influencing mental health of the seven-country peacekeeping soldiers (age:t =2.428,educational level:t =-3.310,social support:t =1.990,P =0.047 ~ 0.01).Conclusion The suicidal ideation has close relationship with peacekeeping soldiers' psychological disease,and the mental health of the peacekeeping soldiers is influenced by the age,gender,education level,and especially by social support.

ObjectiveTo assess the safety and efficacy of retrograde ureteroscopy lithotomy (URSL)assisted antegrade percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for complex upper ureteral calculi in semisupine-lithotomy position.MethodsFrom March 2007 to December 2010,a total of 95 patients with complex upper ureteral calculi underwent retrograde URSL assisted antegrade PCNL in semisupine-lithotomy position.Ureteral calculi size was 12 mm × 6 mm to 38 mm × 15 mm,24 cases combined with renal calculus.Firstly retrograde URSL was performed,once the stone fragments moved up to renal pelvis,a 16-22 F PCNL working channel was established under the ultrasound guidance through which lithotripsy was performed using an ureteroscope.Finally a 6-7 F double-J tube was indwelled.ResultsOperations were successfullycompleted in 93 patients.However,in it 2 patients were converted to open surgery because of significantureteral distortion due to previous open surgery.Operative time was(42.7 ± 14.9) min; estimated blood loss was(34.5 ± 26.1 ) ml.The ureteral calculi clearance rate was 100.0%,and renal calculus clearance rate inthose combined with renal calculus was 95.8% (23/24).There were no major intraoperative and postoperative complications excepted early urinary leakage in 2 cases and fever ≥39℃ in 3 cases.ConclusionsRetrograde URSL assisted antegrade PCNL in semisupine-lithotomy position is safe and feasible for complex upperureteral calculi,especially non-opaque calculi,combined with renal calculus,easily ascending ureteral calculi and large calculi burden which has low calculi clearance rate after URSL.The outcomes are encouraging with fewer complications.It also avoids intraoperative change of patient's position.
