International Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;37(13):1804-1805,1808
Objective To explore the relationship between sperm quality and neurtophil elastase (NE) in male infertile patients . Methods the NE concentration was detected in1 30 male infertile patients ,the research subjects were classified into 3 groups based on the neurtophil elastase concentration :neurtophil elastase concentration more than 1 000 ng/mL (group A ) ,250-1 000 ng/mL (group B) less than 250 ng/mL (group C) .Then sperm basic parameters and biochemical markers (phosphatase ,citrate ,zinc and fructose) were detected .Results (1) The sperm density and motility showed statistically significant differences among the group A ,B and C(P<0 .05)moreover neutrophil elastase concentration was negatively correlated with sperm density (r= -0 .43) and sperm motility(r= -0 .37) .Sperm volume and morphology showed no statistically significant differences among three groups (P>0 .05) .(2) There were statistically significant differences in the levels of phosphatase ,citrate and zinc among three groups (P<0 .05) ,moreover the neutrophil elastase concentration had significantly negative correlation with the concentrations of phosphatase , citrate and zinc(r= -0 .19 ,r= -0 .17 ,r= -0 .23) ,while the fructose concentration had no statistical difference among three groups(P>0 .05) .Conclusion The NE level in semen has significant reverse correlation with sperm density ,sperm motility and bi‐ochemical markers (phosphatase ,citrate and zinc) ,implying that semen NE has significantly negative effect on the sperm quality , thus affecting male fertility ability .

Objective To construct and identify a recombinant Bifidobacteria(Bb) (pGEX-TSO45W-4B) vaccine of Taenia solium.Methods The TSO45W-4B gene of Taenia solium was synthesized.It was expected that the fragment length of the gene was 351 bp.The gene was cloned into Escherichia coli-Bifidobacteria(Bb) shutde vector pGEX-1λT to construct a recombinant plasmid pGEX-TSO45W-4B.The recombinant plasmid was electroporated into Bb to construct a recombinant Bb (pGEX-TSO45W-4B) vaccine.The vaccine was identified by restriction analysis,PCR and sequencing,which would demonstrate that the constructed recombinant Bb (pGEX-TSO45W-4B) vaccine of Taenia solium contained the gene of fragment length of 351 bp.Results The TSO45W-4B gene of 351 bp was synthesized.Restriction analysis,PCR and sequencing results showed that the recombinant Bb (pGEX-TSO45W-4B) vaccine of Taenia solium was successfully constructed and contained the gene fragment of 351 bp.Conclusion The recombinant Bb (pGEX-TSO45W-4B) vaccine of Taenia solium is successfully constructed,which lays a foundation for the study of expression and immunogenicity of the vaccine.

Excellent open video courses are network video courses and academic forum about science and cultural quality,which set college and university students as service principle and at the same time open freely to the public.Practice has proved that school support is the premise of setting up excellent open video courses,and how well teachers master curriculum contents and design diligent teaching is the basis.What's more,consideration should be given to higher shooting and production technique.Only the sufficient cooperation between the chief course instructor and production crew can guarantee the high quality of open video courses.

Thioredoxin peroxidase (TPx) belongs to the superfamily of peroxiredoxins, which is widely expressed in various growth and development stages of parasites and their excretory secretions. On the one hand, recombinant TPx protein can participate in host immunoregulation; on the other hand, recombinant TPx protein has high sensitivity and specificity as a diagnostic antigen, and can be used for immunodiagnosis of parasitic diseases; in addition, it can also be used as a candidate vaccine molecule for the immunoprophylaxis of parasitic diseases. This paper reviews the research progress on host immunoregulation, immunodiagnosis and immunoprophylaxis by recombinant TPx protein of important human parasites.

Parasitic infection are an important global public health issue, and parasites can modulate and evade host immune attacks through various ways. In recent years, studies have shown that in the process of parasite infection, transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)/Smad signaling pathway participates in host T cell immune response, induce T cells to proliferate and differentiate towards regulatory cells (Treg) and helper T cells (Th), regulate Treg/Th17 cell balance, inhibit Th1 cell proliferation and differentiation, and play an important role in the occurrence and development of parasitic diseases and their interactions with the host. This article reviews the research progress of T cell immune responses mediated by TGF-β/Smad signaling pathway in the process of parasite infection.
