Objective To investigate the distribution of ompA gnne in 15 Chinese reference standard strains belonging to 15 serogroups of Leptospira interrogate, and to express recombinant OmpA ( rOmpA ) and to identify immunogenicity and immunoprotection of rOmpA. Methods Genomic DNAs from different leptospiral strains were extracted by phenol-chloroform method. Entire ompA gene fragments from the strains were amplified by PCR and then sequenced after T-A cloning. A prokaryotic expression system of ompA gene from L. interrogans strain 56601 was constructed, and the expression and yield of rOmpA were determined by SOS-PAGE plus Bio-Rad Agarose Image Analyser. Rabbits were immunized with rOmpA for obtaining antiserum, and immunodiffusion test was used to measure the antiserum's titer. Western blot assay was performed to determine the immunoreaetivity of rOmpA with the antiserum against rOmpA and antiserum against whole cell of L. interrogans strain 56601, while mi-croscopic agglutination test (MAT) was applied to detect the cross agglutination to the 15 L. interrogans strains. A leptospire adhering cell model and a leptospire infecting guinea pigs model were used to determine the adhesion-bloc-king effect of rOmpA antiserum and immunoprotection of rOmpA. Results All the 15 L. interrogans strains, but not L. biflexa strain Patoe Ⅰ , had sequence conserved ompA genes. The yield of rOmpA was approximate 20% of the total bacterial proteins, rOmpA could induce rabbits to produce antibody and immunodiffusion titer of the anti-serum was 1:4. Both antisera against rOmpA and against whole cell of L. interrogans strain 56601 were able to pro-duce positive Western blot signs to rOmpA, and the former offered 1 : 20-1 : 320 MAT titers to the 15 L. interrogans strains. 1: 10-1:160 dilutions of rOmpA antiserum could efficiently block L. interrogans strain 56601 adhering to J774A. 1 cells, and 100 μg and 200 μg rOmpA displayed 50.0% and 75.0% immunoprotective rates in the infee-ted guinea pigs. Conclusion ompA gene only exists in genomes of different pathogenic L. interrogans serogroups. rOmpA has relatively stronger antigenicity, cross immunoreactivity and certain immunoprotection, implying that this recombinant protein may be used as a candidate antigen for developing universal genetic engineering vaccine of L. interrogans.

Objective To investigate the expression of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1α (HNF-1α) and hepatocyte nuclear factor-4α (HNF-4α) in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and explore the function of HNF-1α and HNF-4α during HCC carcinogenesis and development. Methods Twenty-six specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma were collected. The expressions of HNF-1α and HNF-4α in HCC tissues and adjacent non-cancerous tissues were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry staining. Results The mRNA levels of HNF-1α and HNF-4α were significantly lower in HCC tissues than that in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (0.818±0.371 vs. 0.383±0.102 for HNF-1α, P＜0.05;0.846±0.384 vs. 0.397±0.105 for HNF-4α, P＜0.05).The positive rates of HNF-1α and HNF-4α protein were significantly lower in HCC tissues than in adjacent non-cancerous tissues (92.3% vs. 42.3% for HNF-1α, P＜0.05;96.2% vs. 50.0% for HNF-4α, P＜0.05). The mRNA and protein expressions of HNF-1α and HNF-4α were correlated with tumor differentiation (P＜0.05). There was a negative correlation between HNF-1α and HNF-4α mRNA expressions in HCC tissues.Conclusion The expressions of HNF-1α and HNF-4α are down-regulated in HCC, which might be related to carcinogenesis and development of HCC.

ObjectiveTo explore the neural mechanism of attention impairment in children with primary nocturnal enuresis.MethodsERPs elicited by performing the continuous operation test(CPT) were assessed in 20 children with primary nocturnal enuresis and 20 normal children.The Go/Nogo measurements of enuretic group at central scalp(Cz) were compared with the normal children and analyzed.Results1.Behavior results: there was no significant difference in the reaction time,the correct number and the false number between primary nocturnal enuresis and control group(P>0.05).2.ERP:(1)Go stimulate:the latency of Go-N2 and P3 of the children with primary nocturnal enuresis were longer than the normal control group(Go-N2:(326.80±46.40)ms vs (295.90±38.27)ms,P3:(438.80±62.60)ms vs (402.60±39.74)ms),and the difference had statistic significance(P<0.05).(2)Nogo stimulate:①Amplitude: the amplitude of Nogo-N2 of the children with primary nocturnal enuresis were lower than that of the normal control group((-10.55±3.30)μV vs (-14.12±5.99)μV),and the difference had statistic significance(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the amplitude of Nogo-P2 and Nogo-P3(P>0.05).②Latency: the latency of Nogo-P2 of the children with primary nocturnal enuresis was longer than that of the normal control group((214.10±27.85)ms vs (198.30±19.16)ms),and the difference had statistic significance(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the latency of Nogo-N2 and Nogo-P3(P>0.05).ConclusionAttention impairment in children with primary nocturnal enuresis might be caused by the information processing speed and conflict monitoring function obstacle,but it is not because the reactive inhibition dysfunction,thus result in the lack of arousal function and bedwetting.

Objective To screen an ssDNA aptamer for rabbit mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and to identify the ability of the aptamer to recognize MSCs of a variety of species origin.Methods MSCs were isolated from the thigh bone of immature rabbits and identified by induced osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation,respectively.Aptamers were screened by cell SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment) technique targeting to isolated MSCs.Enrichment of the 5th pool was evaluated through binding assay of FAM modified pool to MSCs by confocal microscopy.The enriched 5th pool was then cloned into pGE-T vector and the cloned sequences were determined randomly.The candidates were chosen based on primary sequence conservation and predicted secondary structure by RNA structure and MEME online analysis.Flow cytometry analysis was used to identify the aptamers binding to MSCs of rabbit, rat, and human origin.Results The isolated MSCs had the potential of osteogenic differentiation and adipogenic differentiation under certain conditions.Aptamer 5-1-12 from 5th enriched pool was characterized as MSCs recognizing aptamer binding to MSCs of rabbit, rat and human origin.Conclusion Aptamer 5-1-12 that recognizes MSCs of different species origin is obtained through live cell-SELEX.

AIM: To observe effect of the iris location to femtosecond - combined wavefront guided LASIK for myopia and astigmatism.?METHODS:The patients with astigmatism >1. 0D during the same time and followed up for 1a were selected. A total of 129 eyes in 67 patients were treated under iris location with femtosecond-combined wavefront guided LASIK ( experimental group) and 161 eyes in 82 cases with femtosecond-combined wavefront guided LASIK ( control group) . Laser cutting went with the same laser machine. The uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ) , best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) , and wavefront aberration between the two groups were compared at 1, 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery.?RESULTS:At 1 and 3mo after surgery, the number of patients with better postoperative UCVA than preoperative BCVA between the two group showed a statistically significant difference (χ2=6. 423, P=0. 011,χ2=14. 431, P=0. 01 ); at 1d and 1mo after surgery, the residual astigmatism showed a statistically significant difference between two groups (t=1. 98, P<0. 05; t=2. 23, P<0. 05). At 3, 6mo and 1a after surgery, the differences on the change of residual astigmatism between the two groups weren’t significant ( P > 0. 05 ). At 6mo and 1a after surgery, the differences on UCVA between the two groups weren’t significant ( P > 0. 05 ). Until 1a after surgery, the root mean square ( RMS ) of high order wavefront aberration of the two groups, spherical aberration and coma aberration ( COMA ) were all enhanced compared to before surgery(P<0. 05). At 1, 3mo after surgery, the RMS showed a statistically significant difference between two groups (P<0. 05). At 1, 3, 6mo, 1a after surgery, the increase of COMA in experimental group was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0. 05).? CONCLUSION: Iris location technology applied in femtosecond - combined wavefront guided LASIK for myopia and astigmatism, can make the vision recovery faster, the RMS of high order and COMA increase less, the residual astigmatism less, show better and more stable treatment effect.

AIM:To contrast analysis of postoperative variation of corneal posterior surface heights after Femtosecond LASlK ( FS - LASlK ) and small incision lenticule extraction ( SMlLE) for high myopia.
●METHODS: Sixty-seven cases of high myopic patients (132 eyes) operated with laser corneal refractive in our hospital from May to Dec. in 2015 (-6. 00D≤spherical equivalent degree≤-10. 00D) were selected and divided into FS-LASlK group and SMlLE group. The thickness of corneal flaps at FS-LASlK and the thickness of map at SMlLE were designed to be 110μm. Corneal posterior surface heights were examined by Pentacam at preoperation, postoperative 3 and 6mo after FS-LASlK and SMlLE operation. Surface height changes after preoperative, postoperative 3 and 6mo were compared by measuring Pentacam corneal analysis system.
●RESULTS: Six months after operation, the FS-LASlK posterior corneal surface height was 6. 47 ± 1. 65mm, significantly higher than 5. 20 ± 1. 32mm before operation. SMlLE posterior corneal surface height was 6. 40 ± 1. 33mm, significantly higher than 5. 18 ± 1. 25mm before operation, the differences were statistically significant( P<0. 05). Six month after surgery, two methods of corneal surface height variation obtained was 1. 29 ± 1. 28mm and 1. 22 ± 0. 89mm, there was no significant difference ( P>0. 05).
●CONCLUSION:After FS-LASlK and SMlLE, the corneal posterior surface is protrusive. FS - LASlK is slightly obvious than SMlLE in early period. The stability of the posterior surface is better after SMlLE.
