Two isolates of Plasmodium jalcipanm from Hainan Province were cloned by limiting dilution method and eight clones were established. Some characteristics including drug sensitivity and antigenicity of these clones were observed. The results showed that the established clones were different from each other in chloroquine sensitivity and antigenicity. The ID50 of chloroquin3e against 6 clones from isolate Fcc-7801 varied between 60.60 and 13.08 nmol/L The ID50 of chloroquine against 2 clones from isolate Fcc-1 were 93.63 and 49.64 nmol/L, respectively. According to the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) Teactivity of these clones with a panal of murine anti-gpl95 McAbs, 8 clones could be divided into 5-serotypes, 3 of which were consistent with the Ⅴ , Ⅵ, Ⅶ serotypes devided by J. S. McBride (1985).

BACKGROUND:How to obtain a sufficient number of cells is one of the key issues in the celltransplantation therapy, and studies have shown that stem cellproliferation can be promoted by reasonable stimulus.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate reduced glutathione effects on biological characteristics of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:The cells were divided into two groups:the control group consisted of the normal human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells, and in the experimental group, human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells were treated with 0.15 g/L reduced glutathione.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At days 5, 7, 9, cells treated with 0.15 g/L reduced glutathione showed higher absorbance values than those in the control group (P<0.05). Flow cytometry showed reduced glutathione had no effects on CD29, CD44, CD45, CD105 expression. Real-time PCR results showed reduced glutathione was capable of promoting extracellular signal-regulated kinase mRNA expression (P<0.05). Findings from this study showed that 0.15 g/L reduced glutathione can promote the proliferation of human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To examine whether hantavirus Z37 envelope glycoprotein genes G1 and G2 recombinants could elicit humoral immune responses in mice. Methods We vaccinated BALB/C mice with plasmid pcDNA3.1 G1 and pcDNA3.1 G2 respectively by intramuscular and gene gun inoculation. Serum anti hantavirus antibodies were detected by IFA and neutralizing antibodies (NAb) were detected by plaque reduction neutralization test with immunoperoxidase staining. The mice given intramuscular inoculation were divided into 3 groups, each group containing 5 mice: groupⅠas control inoculated with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 ; groupⅡ with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 G1; group Ⅲ with 100 ?g pcDNA3.1 G2. Each mouse was immunized three times. 4 weeks after primary vaccination, 2 boosts were given at 3 week intervals. The mice given gene gun inoculation were divided into 3 groups, each group containing 3 mice: groupⅠ as control with 1.5 ?g pcDNA3.1; group Ⅱ with 1.5 ?g pcDNA3.1 G1; group Ⅲ with 1.5 ?g pcDNA3.1 G2.Each mouse was immunized two times. 4 weeks after primary vaccination, 1 boost was given. Results 1. In mice given intramuscular inoculation, serum anti hantavirus antibodies were detected 3 of 5 in group Ⅱ, 2 of 5 in group Ⅲ.IFA titers 1∶20～1∶80. NAb were detected 1 of 5 in group Ⅱ, 2 of 5 in group Ⅲ. NAb titers 1∶10～1∶20. 2.In mice given gene gun inoculation, serum anti hantavirus antibodies and NAb were detected in all experimental group mice, IFA titers 1∶20～1∶320, NAb titers≥1∶10. Conclusions Genetic immunization with HV Z37envelope glycoprotein genes G1 and G2 recombinants could elicit effective humoral immune response in mice.

Objective To investigate the molecular characteristic,the virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from pediatric patients.Methods Ninety-eight non-duplicate strains of and 49 non-duplicate strains of Methicillinsusceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) isolated from the three children's hospitals in Shanghai in 2008 were investigated.Panton-valentine leukocidin (PVL) gene was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).The genotypes of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) of the MRSA isolates were confirmed by multiplex PCR.The sequence type (ST) of each strain was determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST),and the algorithm eBURST was used to identify groups of clonal complex (CC).The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of fourteen antibiotics for all isolates were determined by agar dilution method.Results Among 98 isolates of MRSA,the positive rate of PVL genes was 6.1％ (6/98).In contrast,the positive rate of PVL genes was 4.1％ (2/48) of the MSSA strains.Among 98 isolates of MRSA,4.1％ (4/98),23.5％ (23/98),53.0％ (52/98) and 15.3％ (15/98) of the strains harboured SCCmec types Ⅱ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ and Ⅴ,respectively. The remaining four isolates (4.1 ％) presented a unique SCCmec pattern that could not be classified to any known types by the employed typing assays.Combining the ST and SCCmec type,the predominant clones were ST59-SCCmec Ⅳ (30 strains) and ST239-SCCmec Ⅲ (23 strains),followed by ST5-SCCmecⅣ and ST1-SCCmecⅣ (8 strains for each clone),ST239-SCCmec Ⅴ (6 strains),ST88-SCCmecⅤ (5 strains),ST5 SCCmecⅡ (4 strains),ST59-SCCmec Ⅴ (3 strains),ST8-SCCmecⅣ and ST88-SCCmecⅣ (2 strains for each clone),ST22-SCCmecⅣ,ST910-SCCmecⅣ and S45-SCCmec Ⅴ (1 strain for each clone),eBURST analysis distributed the MRSA isolates into several CC.ST8 and ST239 belonged to ST8 CC,ST1 belonged to ST15 CC,ST910 belonged to ST 30 CC,ST59,ST5,ST88,ST45,ST22,ST9 and ST7 were the origin of their own CC.The results of MIC showed that the 67 strains of MRSA harboring SCCmec type Ⅳ or SCCmec type Ⅴ were more susceptible to various non-β-lactam antibiotics than 27 strains of MRSA harboring SCCmec type Ⅱ or SCCmec type Ⅲ,and no vancomycin-resistant strain was found.Conclusions In three children's hospitals in Shanghai,the PVL gene-positive rate of MRSA isolates is relatively low,SCCmec type Ⅳ and SCCmec type Ⅴ could spread among hospitals to cause a small scale epidemic and have a variety of ST.

Objective:To study the effects of andrographolide on the expression of IL-18 related cytokines by peripheral blood monocytes.Methods:After treatment of andrographolide in different concentrations on LPS stimulated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and LPS+IFN-γ/IL-4 activated magnetic bead-sorted monocytes (PBM),the transcription level of IL-18,IL-18BP,IL-18Rα and IL-18Rβ was detected by real-time RT-PCR;and secreted IL-18,IL-18BP and IL-1β,IL-1Rα by PBM was detected with ELISA.Results:Andrographolide regulated the transcription of IL-18 and IL-18BP in a dose-and time-dependent effect.Andrographolide up-regulated the transcription of IL-18BP in LPS stimulated PBMC,and increased the ratio of IL-18BP/IL-18.The ratio of IL-18BP/IL-18 rose from 9.60 to 214 in LPS+IFNγ activated PBM,and IL-1Rα/IL-1β declined from 9 200 to 6 520 in IL-4 activated PBM by andrographolide treatment.Conclusion:Andrographolide can regulate IL-18 related gene transcription and expression in activated peripheral blood monocytes,and inhibit the excessive expression of IL-18 during inflammation.
