Vibrios are universal conditioned-pathogenic bacteria in marine culture environment, and the outbreak of vibrio disease resulted in a serious damage to aquaculture. Considering that vibrio disease in aquatic species, especially fishes, usually originated from mixed infection of different species (serotypes or subspecies) of vibrios, it is important to select the potential cross-protective protein antigens as candidates of polyvalent or combined vaccines. In present research, several strains of vibrios were isolated from infected large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) and subsequently identified as six strains of V. harveyi, one V. parahaemolyticus and one V. alginolyticus by physiological, biochemical and molecular biological methods. Their outer membrane proteins (OMPs) were extracted and the SDS-PAGE and Western blotting results show that three immuno-blots with common molecular weight presented at approximate 45 kDa, 35 kDa and 22 kDa on their OMP electrophoretogram, indicating the existence of antigens with cross-protection in their OMPs. With the aids of combination of two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D) and Western blotting and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), a deduced porin (GenBank Accession No. ZP_01260407) from V. alginolyticus and a maltoporin precursor (GenBank Accession No. NP_801154) from V. parahaemolyticus were able to react with polyclonal antibody to whole V. harveyi, suggesting these two proteins could act as the cross-protective antigens and the vaccines prepared with these porins would be probable to bring cross protection to three different vibrios.

Purpose: This study explored the effect of a nursing comprehensive skill training course (NCST-C) on the metacognitive awareness of nursing students to provide a scientific foundation for improving metacognitive awareness. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental two-group matched pretest, post-test, and follow-up test. Ninety-six junior nursing students were recruited using convenience sampling and assigned to two groups by drawing lots with odd and even numbers in a nursing school at Huzhou University. The control group received a traditional skill-training course. The intervention group received NCST-C.Nursing students' metacognitive awareness inventory (MAI) was evaluated at the baseline, 16-week, and 20-week follow-up points. A repeated-measures analysis of variance and a simple effect test was used to compare each outcome measure of the two groups three times. Results: The NCST-C resulted in greater benefits for nursing students' metacognitive awareness as well as various dimensions (knowledge of cognition and regulation of cognition) in the intervention group.Combined with a simple effects test, the MAI and dimension scores of those in the intervention group significantly improved at 16 weeks after the baseline (F ¼ 9.78e44.03; all ps < .01). The sustainable effect of NCST-C lasted 1 month after the intervention (F ¼ 14.24e62.36; ps < .01), reaching statistical significance (p < .05). Conclusions The NCST-C effectively developed metacognitive awareness among nursing students. Its design provides a new type of experimental course for improving metacognitive awareness.Trial registration: chictr.org.cn: ChiCTR2200057910. First registration date: 1/11/2020.

Purpose To investigate the value of quantitative evaluation of upper urinary tract pump function after unilateral lower urinary tract obstruction using 640-slice dynamic volumetric CT. Materials and Methods Twenty-six healthy subjects (control group), thirty cases of acute upper urinary tract obstruction caused by unilateral ureteral calculi and thirty cases of chronic upper urinary tract obstruction were selected, all receiving dynamic volume scan of 640-slice dynamic volumetric CT during renal excretion. The value of contrast agent volume, volumetric difference, time difference correspondent to the difference, volumetric change rate, and flow rate in ureteropelvic and partial upper ureter were calculated and analyzed. Results Volumetric change rate of obstruction side of upper urinary tract in acute obstruction group was higher than that of contralateral upper urinary tract. Volumetric average value, volumetric difference and flow rate were increased with time difference value decreased, the difference of which were all statistically significant (P<0.001). Volumetric change rate, volumetric difference and flow rate of obstruction side of upper urinary tract in acute obstruction group was lower compared with those of contralateral upper urinary tract, while volumetric average value and time difference raised, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). The difference of five pump function values among acute obstruction group, obstruction side of chronic obstruction group and control group were statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion 640-slice dynamic volumetric CT can be used to quantitatively evaluate changes of urinary tract pump function in physiological and obstructive status.
