Objective To prepare recombinant mda-7/IL-24 adenovirus to study its function on the proliferation of small cell lung cancer NCI-H446 cells. Methods According to the manufacturer's instructions of AdEasy vector system, mda-7/IL-24 cDNA was subcloned into the adenoviral shuttle vector pAdTrack-CMV. The efficient recombination of adenoviral backbone vector pAdEasy-1 and pAdTrack-CMV-mda-7/IL-24 was achieved in bacteria E. coli BJ 5183. The recombinant adenoviral vector pAd-mda-7/IL-24 linearized by Pac Ⅰ was transfected into HEK293 cells with lipofectamine 2000. To generate higher titer viral stocks, the amplification of recombinant adenovirus was accomplished in packing cells. Viral titers were measured by tissue culture infectious dose 50 (TCID_ 50 ) method. Ad.mda-7/IL-24 was identified by PCR. The expression of pAd-mda-7/IL-24 in NCI-H446 cells was detected by Western-blot analysis. The function of Ad.mda-7/IL-24 on the proliferation of NCI-H446 cells was assayed by MTT after cells were infected by 50 pfu/ml adenovirus. Results The recombinant adenoviral shutter vector pAdTrack-CMV-mda-7/IL-24 and recombinant adenoviral vector pAd-mda-7/IL-24 were constructed successfully as identified by sequence analysis. PCR assay showed that adenovirus Ad.mda-7/IL-24 contained mda-7/IL-24 cDNA. After amplification in packing cell HEK293, the titer of virus was 2?10~ 10 pfu/ml measured by TCID_ 50 assay. Western-blot results identified that MDA-7/IL-24 could be expressed in NCI-H446 cells. After infected by 50 pfu/ml adenovirus, the proliferation of NCI-H446 cells was inhibited by 21.37% with MTT method. Conclusion Ad.mda-7/IL-24 can inhibit the growth of NCI-H446 cell obviously. This result lays foundation to study its function mechanism and to apply it in gene therapy of the small cell lung cancer.

Objective To investigate personality characteristics and its correlation with academic performance of vocational nursing students.Methods 153 nursing students were asked to filled out the questionnaire of Chinese College Student Personality Scale(CCSPS).The results were analyzed by 13.0 SPSS.Results Nursing students concentrated in the middle-up level in all the seven dimensions of the T-norm.The mean of directness,sensation and amiability were higer than the T-norm; The mean of tenaciousness and altruian were lower than the T-norm; There were different levels of correlation between academic performance and the four dimensions including directness,tenaciousness,rigorousness and amiability(P＜0.05).Finally only the dimension of rigorousness entered into the regression equation of academic performance.Conclusion Vocational nursing students tend to have ordinary personalities.The dimension of rigorousness is the major factor influencing vocational nursing students' academic performance.So it should be targeted to promote vocational nursing students' personality perfection.

It is important to pay more attention to students’ basic skills training and their comprehensive abilities cultivating in microbiology experiment teaching. Explorations and reforms in enforcing the students’ base and cultivating their abilities were carried out in order to improve teaching quality and train specialized talents with high quality.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the incidence of anatomic variations of the temporal bone to provide valuable reference for clinical otology. METHODS Sev-enty six healthy adults (152 ears) and 66 patients(96 ears) with chronic suppurative otitis media confirmed by clinical examination underwent axial and coronal High-resolution Computed Tomography(HRCT) scan. The incidence of high jugular bulb, dehiscent jugu-lar bulb, anterior location of sigmoid sinus, low-lying middle cranial fossa, dehiscent tegmen tympani, mas-toid antrum dysplasia, aberrant internal carotid artery, and large sinus tympani were recorded. RESULTS In normal, abnormal, well and poorly pneumatized groups, the incidence of highly positioned jugular bulb on the right was higher than that on the left. The total inci-dence of high jugular bulb on the left and right was 26.2 % and 46.0 % respectively. The incidence of ante-rior location of sigmoid sinus in the abnormal group (32.3 %) was higher than that in normal group(15.8 %), which was higher in poorly pneumatized group(43.5 %) than that in well pneumatized group(11.3 %). The inci-dence of dehiscent tegmen tympani in well pneuma-tized group(18.0 %) was higher than that in poor pneu-matized group(8.7 %). There was no significant differ-ence in dehiscent jugular bulb, low-lying middle cranial fossa, mastoid antrum dysplasia, aberrant internal ca-rotid artery, and large sinus tympani between the left and right within and among groups. The incidence of these varia-tions was 2.0 %,21.8 %,1.2 %,0.4 %,0.8 %respectively. CONCLUSION HRCT can show ana-tomic variances of temporal bone clearly before opera-tion and has great clinical value for reducing the inci-dence of complications caused by middle ear operation.

Objective To construct multiple myeloma mucin MUC1-2VNTR gene eukaryotic expressing vector,which provided the basic material for further study of multiple myeloma DNA vaccine.Methods MUC1-2VNTR coding gene as target gene,and a KOZAK sequence was inserted before it.Hind Ⅲ and Xba Ⅰ restriction enzyme site were inserted on both ends.Then the whole sequence was synthesized and cloned into pcDNA3.1/myc-his B vector,and the recombinant vector was identified by restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing.Results Synthesized MUC1-2VNTR gene was 140 bp.Restriction enzyme digestion and DNA sequencing confirmed pcDNA3.1/MUC1-2VNTR/myc-his B including the whole exact translation frame region and MUC1-2VNTR gene.Condnsion The pcDNA3.1/MUC1-2VNTR/myc-his B has been successfully constructed,which provides the basic material for further studies of MUC1 mucin function and multiple myloma DNA vaccine.

Objective:Facial nerves can be dissected using anterograde and retrograde approaches. The optimal technique for the facial nerve dissection of a patient with benign parotid tumor has not yet been determined. This study focused on facial nerve dysfunc-tion and recovery rate after anterograde and retrograde facial-nerve dissections. Methods:The data of 110 patients with benign carotid adenoma from the Head and Neck Department of this hospital who were hospitalized between January 2011 and January 2013 were col-lected. These patients were divided into groups A (n=52) and B (n=58). Anterograde and retrograde dissections of the facial nerve were performed on group A and group B patients, respectively. Based on the preferential order of dissection, group B was divided into groups B1, B2, and B3 representing the zygomatic, buccal, and marginal mandibular branches, respectively. The patients were postoperatively observed to check for potential symptoms, such as facial paralysis along with its severity and recovery. The House-Brackmann grading system was used to assess all patients. Results:The operation could be successful, with better nerve exposure, using these approaches. Statistical differences were observed in the nerve injury and recovery rates between the groups, with group A better than group B, and group B2 better than the other two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion:Anterograde facial nerve dissection should be routinely used in be-nign parotid tumor, and the buccal branch of facial nerve dissection should be preferentially considered when no other option apart from retrograde dissection is available.

To obtain a number of extracellular penicillinase,the gene(penp)encoding penicillinse of Bacillus cereus ATCC10987 was cloned into expression vector in Bacillus subtilis,transformed into Bacillus subtilis DB104 deficient in two proteases.When recombinant bacteria was cultured in LB medium for 24 hours,the result of SDS-PAGE showed that the molecular weight of the protein was 28kDa and the penicillinase activity reached 339U/ml.By screening seven different fermentation media,the result showed that 4# medium is favorable to producing penicillinase by the recombinant cells than the others,with the yield of the enzyme being 1580U/ml.When the recombinant cells was cultured in 7 liter fermentor for 24h,the penicillinase activity reached 1255.8U/ml.
