This article aimed to study the antigenicity of nucleocapsid proteins (NPs) in six pathogenic phleboviruses and to provide theoretical evidence for the development of serological diagnostic reagents. NPs of six pathogenic phleboviruses were expressed and purified using a prokaryotic expression system and rabbits were immunized with individual recombinant NPs. Cross-reactions among NPs and rabbit sera were determined by both indirect ELISA and Western blotting analyses, and the sera titer was determined by indirect ELISA. Furthermore, sera from SFTS patients were also detected by each recombinant NP as a coating antigen using indirect ELISA. The cross-reactions and the sera titer were subsequently determined. Both the concentration and purity of recombinant NPs of six pathogenic phleboviruses met the standards for immunization and detection. The results of indirect ELISA and Western blotting showed that each anti-phlebovirus NP rabbit immune serum had potential serological cross-reactivity with the other five virus NP antigens. Furthermore, the sera from SFTS patients also had cross-reactivity with the other five NP antigens to a certain extent. Our preliminary study evaluated the antigenicity and immune reactivity of six pathogenic phleboviruses NPs and laid the foundation for the development of diagnostic reagents.

Human sTNFR1 (soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1) gene was amplified by RT-PCR from Hela cells. A recombinant expression vector of sTNFR1-MBP was constructed in pMAL-c2x, and transformed into E. Coli JM109.It was sequenced and confirmed to be identifical to the sTNFR1 gene in data bank. Recombinant protein sTNFR1-MBP was induced by IPTG and purified by Amylose resin Affinity Chromatography. sTNFR1-MBP was binded to sTNFR1's antibody in Western-blotting. From MTT assays, the results showed that sTNFR1-MBP could effectively block the cytotoxicity mediated by TNF?on QSG7701 cells. Annexin V-FITC staining and flowcytometry were used to observe the recombinant protein's anti-apoptosis capacity and the recombinant protein has marked anti-apoptosis effect in vitro.sTNFR1-MBP had good biological activity and it will be employed in further study.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy and toxicity of capecitabine plus oxaliplatin (XELOX) versus 5-fluorouracil/leucovorin (5-Fu/LV) plus oxaliplatin (FOLFOX4) regimens as adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colorectal cancer.
METHODSThe clinicopathological data of 118 patients with stage III colorectal cancer were studied retrospectively. The patients were assigned to receive either FOLFOX4 regimen (n = 76) or XELOX regimen (n = 42). 3-year disease-free survival (DFS) and adverse events as end points were compared between the two groups.
RESULTSThe number of patients that failed to finish 8 cycles was higher in FOLFOX4 group (28 vs. 8, P = 0.044). There was no significant difference for 3-year DFS and all grades adverse events between the two groups. However, the FOLFOX4 group showed more grade 3/4 neutropenia (31.6% vs. 14.3%, P = 0.039) and central venous catheter-associated complication (11.8% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.205), while XELOX showed more grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia (19.0% vs. 6.6%, P = 0.038) and hand-foot syndrome (11.9% vs. 1.3%, P = 0.012).
CONCLUSIONThe results of this analysis indicate that XELOX and FOLFOX4 regimens have very similar efficacy as an adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer, but XELOX may be safer than FOLFOX4.
