Objective To establish TaqMan real-time PCR method for detection and identification of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumonia. Methods Two sets of primers and FAM-labeled probes targeting different genes of Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae were designed and synthesized. The bexA gene was used for identification of Haemophilus influenzae and lytA for Streptococcus pneumoniae. The sensitivity and specificity of real-time PCR were assessed for different primers and probes. Cut-off values of cycle threshold (Ct) were determined. Two hundred and seventy-eight cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens from suspected bacterial meningitis cases were detected by real-time PCR assay, latex agglutination test and bacteria culture simultaneously. Results Haemophilus influenzae isolates of serotype a to d could be detected and identified by bexA primers and probe. All Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates of different serotypes could be detected and identified by lytA primers and probe. The respective sensitivities for Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae were 10 and 90 genome DNA copies in each PCR reaction. Of the 278 CSF specimens, four were positive by Haemophilus influenzae and seven positive by Streptococcus pneumoniae when detected by real-time PCR. Of the four Haemophilus influenzae positive specimens, two were positive by culture and one positive hy latex. Of the seven Streptococcus pneumonia positive specimens, two were positive by culture and two positive by latex. Conclusions Real-time PCR could rapidly detect and identify Haemophilus influenzae of serotype a to d and Streptococcus pneumoniae of different serotypes with high sensitivity. TaqMan real-time PCR could be widely used for the diagnosis of invasive meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae and Streptococcus pneumoniae. It can improve the rate of positivity for diagnosis of suspicious bacterial meningitis cases.

Objective To investigate the improve effects of environmental enrichment on maternal behavior in the adult female rats thatexperienced early-life stress,and to explore the molecular biological mechanism.Methods The newborn Wistar rats were divided into two groups randomly,the early life stress group and the control group.Pups from the former were separated from their mothers once per day for 4 hours from PND 2-21 (day of birth was considered PND =0),and suffered vicious stimulus during the daily 4 hours maternal separation from PND 8-21.On PND 22(weaning),pups from the early life stress group were divided into two groups:12 female pups were reared singly,refered to as isolated-rearing group; another 12 were placed in a big cage that was filled with all sorts of rodents toys,refered to as enriched-rearing group; control female pups were placed in groups of 4 per cage.Mating with male rats when female pups reached PND66,then being placed in cages singly when they were detected pregnant.Maternal behavior was evaluated on the second and sixth day after delivery,and the hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels were examined by RT-PCR.Results The results of maternal behavior observation showed that the total time of retrieve and the latency of licking were significantly longer in isolated-rearing rats compared with the normal and the enriched-rearing rats (P ＜ 0.01) ; total time of licking in enriched-rearing rats was longer than the normal and the isolated-rearing rats(P＜0.01) on the sixth day after delivery;and the score of the nest building was obviously lower in isolated-rearing rats,especially on the sixth day after delivery(P ＜ 0.01).Hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels in the isolated-rearing rats showed strongly decreased compared with the normal rats(P＜0.01),but which close to normal levels in enriched-rearing rats.Conclusion Early life stress can damage some components of maternal behavior,such as retrieval,licking,nest building,but it has no obvious effect on crouching behavior; it also decreases the hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels of the adult female rats; as a kind of early environmental intervention,groups-rearing could make hypothalamic OTR mRNA levels of the female rats that subjected to early life stress restore to normal,and thus reverse the disruptions of stress in maternal behavior.

Objective To explore whether ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction could enhance anti-sense RNA transfection and expression. Methods Phospholamban antisense RNA eukaryon vector PcDNA 4. 1-asPLB was successfully constructed and it was transfected into cardiac myocytes by various methods including calcium phosphate precipitation, ultrasound exposure and ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction. The expression of PLB and sarcoplasmic retculum Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a) in cardiac myocytes was tested by RT-PCR and western blot. Results The transfection and expression of PcDNA 4. 1-asPLB increased significantly in cells treated with ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction compared to other transfer groups( P ＜0.05). The expression of PLB was inhibited specifically after cardiac myocytes were transfected with PcDNA 4. 1-asPLB. There was no change of PLB expression after cardiac myocytes transfected with PcDNA 4. 1 ( P ＜0.05). Though the expression of SERCA2a never exhibited any changes after PcDNA 4. 1-asPLB transfection, the PLB/SERCA2a ratio decreased markedly. Conclusions As a highly effective antisense RNA transfer method, ultrasound-mediated microbubbles destruction can enhance the transfection and expression of the PcDNA 4. 1-asPLB significantly. The PcDNA4. 1-asPLB transfection inhibits the expression of PLB and result in decrease of PLB/SERCA2a ratio in cardiac myocytes.

Objective To investigate the effects of anxiety and anti - anxiety therapy on vascular endothelium function and platelet activation in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods One hundred and thirty -nine ACS patients were enrolled in this prospective and controlled clinical study from January 2009 through December 2010.Patients with severe heart failure,liver and renal dysfunction,infection,allergy to benzodiazepines and taking antipsychotic drugs in recent 2 weeks as well as patients unable to complete the questionnaire were excluded.All these patients were divided into the anxiety group ( n =68 ) and the non - anxiety group ( n =71 ) according to Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA).The plasma levels of NO,ET,CD62p,CD63 and flow- mediated diastolic functions (FMD) of humeral arteries were measured.The patients in anxiety group were randomly assigned to group A ( n =34 ) and group B ( n =34).Lorazepam in a dose of 0.5 mg twice a day and Vitamin B6 in dose of 10 mg twice a day as placebo were prescribed for patients of Group A and B respectively.After 2 weeks,all above variables of group A and group B were measured once again as well as the score of Hamilton Anxiety Scale.The chi - square test was used for constituent ratios,while t - test was applied to analysis of differences in above variables between two groups.Results The plasma level of NO and FMD of humeral artery in the anxiety group were significantly lower than those in the non -anxiety group (t =2.090 and 2.558,P =0.038 and 0.012,respectively),and the plasma levels of ET,CD62p and CD63 in the anxiety group were significantly higher than those in the non - anxiety group ( t =2.082,2.042 and 2.145,P =0.039,0.043 and 0.034,respectively).There were no statistical differences in all above variables as well as HAMA score between group A and group B before anti - anxiety treatment.Two weeks after treatment,the level of NO and FMD of humeral artery in group A were significantly higher than those in group B ( t =2.821 and 2.246,P =0,006 and 0.028,respectively) and the levels of ET,CD62p,CD63 and HAMA score in group A were significantly lower than those in group B ( t =2.107,3.242,2.079 and 7.779,P =0.039,0.002,0.041 and ＜0.01,respectively).Conclusions Anxiety mood markedly aggravates the disorder of vascular endothelial function and platelet activation,and both of them can be improved by anti - anxiety therapy.Consequently,the intervention in anxiety mood may improve the outcomes of ACS patients.

Objective To establish cell strain expressing the genes of HIV vpr and mutant HIV vpr-FS, and to explore cell apoptosis ability by HIV Vpr and Vpr-FS. Methods The recombinant plasmids were constructed by cloning HIV vpr and HIV vpr-FS genes into the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1respectively. To determine the primary structures of HIV vpr and HIV vpr-FS, plasmids were cleaved by restriction enzymes. After the plasmids were transfected into HeLa cells by liposome, the HeLa cells were selected with G418 selective medium, mRNA expression of HIV vpr or HIV vpr-FS of transfected cells was detected by RT-PCR, and Vpr and Vpr-FS protein expression were detected by Western blot assay respectively. The DNA content and the percentage of apoptosis in HeLa HIV vpr cell, HeLa HIV vpr-FS cell and HeLa pcDNA3.1 cell were monitored by flow cytometry and the DNA fragmentation was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Results BamH Ⅰ and Hind Ⅲ cleavaged products of pcDNA3.1-vpr and pcDNA3.1-vpr-Fincluded 342 bp length fragments suggesting that the length of DNA sequence containing HIV vpr (HIV vpr-FS) within pcDNA3.1 was the same as theoretical length. The HeLa cells transfected by pcDNA3.1-vpr or pcDNA3, l-vpr-FS and selected with G418 could express HIV vpr or HIV vpr-FS by RT-PCR, and express HIV Vpr or HIV Vpr-FS protein by Western blot. The results of flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation showed that there was significant different in the number of apoptotic cells between HeLa HIV vpr cell and HeLa HIV vpr-FS cell, but the difference between HeLa HIV vpr-FS cell and control group was not obvious. Conclusion Recombinant plasmids pcDNA3.1-vpr and pcDNA3. 1-vpr-FS were constructed successfully, and the cell strain expressing HIV Vpr and HIV Vpr-FS proteins was established. The HIV Vpr could induce host cell apoptosis, while the mutant of Vpr did not or weakened this ability. This study provides foundation for further study on HIV vpr gene.
