Objective To clone mcp1, mcp2 and mop3 genes that encoding methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins(MCP) of Campy/obacter jejuni for construction of their prokaryotic expression systems, and to establish chemotactic model in vitro of the microbe for determining chemotaxis-inducing substances and to understand relationship among MCPs and chemotactic inducers. Methods The segments of mep1, mcp2 and mcp3 genes were amplified by PCR and then sequenced after T-A cloning. Prokaryofic expression systems of the genes were subsequently constructed. SDS-PAGE pins Bin-Rod Gel Image Analyzer were used to examine the expression of target recombinant proteins rMCP1, rMCP2 and rMCP3, and Ni-NTA affinity chromatography was performed to purify the rMCPs. Rabbits were immunized with each of the three rMCPs to obtain antisera. Immunodiffusion assay was performed to measure the titers of antisera. IgG in each of the antisera were extracted by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE-32 ion exchange chromatography, and IgG F(ab')2 were then prepared by pepsin enzymolysis and Sephadex G-100 chromatography. Chemotactic model in vitro of C. jejuni based on HAP( hard-agar plus) method was established to determine the chemo-taxis-inducing effect of eight candidate substances. Chemotaxis inhibition test based on IgG F(ab')2 bloc-king was applied to determine the function and diversity of MCPs. Results The segments with expected si-zes amplified from mcp1, racp2 and mcp3 genes were obtained by PCRs, and their nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences were completely same as the reported. The constructed prokaryotic systems could effi-ciently express rMCPs with the yields about 10% of the total bacterial proteins. Immunization with rMCP1, MCP2 and rMCP3 enables the rabbits to produce specific antibody. All the antisera had 1: 4 immunodiffusion titers. Both bovine bile and sodium deoxycholate(DOC) were able to induce ehemotactie movement of C. je-juni in a dosage-dependent manner ( P < 0.05 ). When MCP1 and MCP2 were blocked with their IgG F(ab')2, the ehemotaetic ability of C. jejurd were remarkably decreased (P <0. 05). However, MCP3 blocking did not affect the chemotaxis ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusion The C. jejuni MCPs are successfully ex-pressed in this study. Bovine bile and DOC are the inducers for chemotaxis of C. jejuni, and MCP1 and MCP2 are involved in the process of ehemotaxis iadueed by DOC.

Objective To analyze predictive factors on survival in patients with completely resected high-risk Ⅱ/Ⅲ stage colorectal cancer after adjuvant chemotherapy.Methods According to random number table, 76 cases with completely resected high-risk Ⅱ/Ⅲ stage colorectal cancer after adjuvant chemotherapy were selected, who newly diagnosed and hospitalized in 2004. Their disease-free and overall survivals were followed up.Thymidylate synthase gene polymorphism and microsatellite instability were tested in these cases with microdissection combined with polymerase chain reaction and capillary electrophoresis. Correlation of these factors including clinical characteristics, thymidylate synthase gene polymorphism and microsatellite instability to survival was analyzed with SPSS13.0 software. Results Histologic grades and evaluated lymph node number had significantly difference between two groups of distinct prognosis (χ2 = 7.827, P =0.003 and χ2 = 9.265, P =0.018, respectively), which were also independent predictors on survival proved by COX regression analysis (χ2 = 40.472, P =0.000 and χ2 = 39.528, P =0.000, respectively).Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the median disease-free and overall survival of poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma patients were significantly shorter than those of high and intermediate-differentiated ones (27.67 vs 61.13months, χ2 = 45.015, P =0.000 and 43.13 vs 64.21 months, χ2 = 35.514, P =0.000, respectively), as well, the median disease-free and overall survival of patients with the evaluated lymph node number less than 11 were poorer than those of more than 11 ( 45.65 vs 68.47 months, χ2 = 23.134, P =0.011 and 53.10 vs 70.18months, χ2 = 22.896, P =0.013, respectively).Conclusion Poor-differentiated adenocarcinoma and evaluated lymph node number less than 11 may be predictors on poor survival in patients with completely resected highrisk Ⅱ/Ⅲ stage colorectal cancer after adjuvant chemotherapy.

Objective To compare the inhibiting effect on human lung adenocarcinoma who were treated with gem?citabine combined with cisplatin chemotherapy through either arterial or intravenous route to explore the optimum adminis?tration route. Methods Human lung adenocarcinoma derived A549 cells were transplanted into 40 BALB/c-nu mice to es?tablish lung cancer model. The models were divided into 4 groups:animals in arterial or intravenous chemotherapy groups were treated with gemcitabine 150 mg/kg combined with cisplatin 10 mg/kg through either arterial route or intravenous route. Animals in negative control group were given normal saline through caudal vein while animals in sham operation group were treated with normal saline via arterial route. Then dynamical change of tumor volume and tumor inhibiting rate were assessed , and Bcl-2 and Caspase 3 expressions were investigated using western blot. Finally inhibiting effect were compared between these two different administration routes. Results Transplanted tumors in arterial and intravenous che?motherapy groups (especially in arterial group) were suppressed, in terms of mass of tumor(g:1.91±0.19, 2.61±0.21 vs 4.58± 0.46), compared to the control group (P<0.05). Furthermore, tumor inhibiting rates in arterial chemotherapy group and ve?nous chemotherapy group are 57.6%and 42.4%respectively (P<0.05). Expression of Bcl-2 was down regulated while ex?pression of Caspase-3 was up regulated upon both arterial and intravenous chemotherapy. And arterial route showed much more obvious tumor apoptosis effect than venous route. Conclusion Arterial route of gemcitabine combined with cisplatin for lung adenocarcinoma treatment is more effective to restrain the tumor growth in clinical application.
