In order to construct generally efficient cell immortalization vector, pTP-hTERT, we modified the traditional piggyBac (PB) transposon using artificial synthesis, PCR and enzyme digestion. The modified vector contained the necessary transposon elements, a PB transposase expression cassette, a co-expression selectable element and a human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression cassette. The co-expression selectable element had two markers, enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene and puromycin-resistance (Puro) gene, linked by porcine teschovirus-1 2A peptide (P2A). To validate the functionality of vector elements, we transfected pTP-hTERT into HEK293 cell, selected the positive cell clones and then conducted RT-PCR, Western blotting (WB) and Tail-PCR, methylene blue staining and statistic analysis on selected cells. The results of sequencing and cell culture show that the pTP-hTERT was constructed successfully and the positive cell could be selected by puromycin. The WB results, P2A cutting EGFP and Puro fusion protein with high efficiency, reflected the selectable element worked. The sequencing result of Tail-PCR confirmed the vector integrated into the genome through transposition. The results of methylene blue staining and statistic analysis indicated the clone of positive cells triggered by pTP-hTERT significantly increased (P < 0.01) compared with control group. The construction of pTP-hTERT provides an efficient tool for establishing immortalized cell lines and a demonstration for building other eukaryotic plasmids.

Objective To study whether ORF3 coded by fap1-orf4 gene locus of Streptococcus pa-rasanguis is involved in the regulation of Fap1 glycosylation and maturation and to investigate whether ORF3 influences Streptococcus parasanguis adhesion. Methods A gene replacement strategy was adapted to con-struct orf3 alleic replace mutant of Streptococcus parasanguis. Complementation assay and Western blot were used to test Fap1 expression levels. Whole saliva-coated hydroxyapatite (SHA) adhesion assay was adapted to determine Streptococcus parasanguis adhension. Results (1) Non-polar was found in strain VT1774, the orf3 alleic replace mutant of Streptococcus parasanguis. (2) Western blot showed that mature Fapl (Mr about 220 × 103) disappeared and were substituted with high molecular weight Fapl (Mr about 470 × 103) in strain VT1774, furthermore, complementation assay showed VT1775, the complementation strain of VT1774, re-stored mature Fapl expression. (3) The binding ability reduced significantly in strain VT1774. Conclusion ORF3 coded byfapl-orf4 gone locus was required for Fap1 glycosylation and maturation in Streptococcus pa-rasanguis, orf3 alleic replacment resulted in Fap1 glycosylation and mature disorder and decreasing of adhen-sion ability of Streptococcus parasanguis.

Objective To investigate whether glucosyltransfernse(GTF) and open reading frame 4 (ORF4) coded by fap1-orf4 gene locus of Streptococcus parasanguis was involved in the regulation of Fap1 glycosylation, and mature and to determine whether there was interaction between GTF and ORF4. Methods A gene replacement strategy was adapted to construct gtf and orf4 allele replace mutant of S. Parasanguis. Complementation assay and Western blot were used to test fap1 expression levels. Yeast two-hybrid analysis and GST pull down assays were adapted to determine the interaction between GTF and ORF4. Results (1) Compared with wild S. Parasanguis, mature Fapl (Mr about 220×103) disappeared and were substituted with high molecular weight Fapl (Mr about 360×103) in gtf or orf4 alleie replace mutants of S. Parasan-guis. Complementation assay showed that pVPT-GFP-gtf and pVPT-GFP-orf4 restored mature fap1 expression in gtf or orf4 alleie replace mutants, respectively. (2) With Yeast two-hybrid analysis, the eotransformants, AH109/pAD-Gtf+pBD-orf4 and AHlOg/pAD-orf4+pBD-gtf growed on SD-LTHA selective ngar plate after streaked, reversely, the eotransformants, AH109/pAD+pBD-orf4,AH109/pAD+pBD-gtf、AH109/pBD+ pAD-orf4、AH109/pBD+pAD-gtf did not grow on SD-LTHA selective agar plate, furthermore, the cotrans-formants, AH109/pAD+pBD-orf4 and AH109/pAD-orf4+pBD-gtfshowed blue during X-α-gal assay. (3) GST pull down assay confirmed the direct interaction between GTF and ORF4. Conclusion There is inter-action between GTF and ORF4 coded byfapl-orf4 gene locus of S. Parasangnis and the formation of the GTF and ORF4 complex was required for the glycosylation and mature of Fapl in S. Parasanguis.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) combined with cisplatin on expression of RASSF1A in nude mice with human nasopharyngeal carcinoma xenograft.
METHOD:
The models of human poorly differentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma in nude mice were established and randomly divided into four groups, control group (NaCl group), As2O3 group, DDP group and As2O3 + DDP group. The expression of RASSF1A mRNA and protein were detected by Real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry respectively. The methylation rate of RASSF1A promoter CpG islands was analyzed by HRM.
RESULTS:
Experimental groups could obviously inhibit the growth of tumor and up-regulate the expression of RASSF1A. The methylation rate of RASSF1A in transplanted tumors in experimental groups was lower than the control group. Especially As2O3 combined with DDP were superior to the single drug use.
CONCLUSION
As2O3 inhibits the growth of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell strain CNE2 xenograft in nude mice and increases mRNA expression of RASSF1A. As2O3 inhibits the malignant phenotypes of human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells and reverses hypermethylation of RASSF1A.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuing nursing on elderly patients with high risk of pressure sores. Methods High-risk elderly patients with pressure sores healed in our hospital in January 2014 to December 2014 were divided into control group and observation group with 130 cases in each group by random number table. The control group received routine follow-up service, while the observation group were intervened by continuing nursing care. To observe the differences before and after the interventions in both groups on the patient's quality of life and the incidence of pressure sores. Results There was statistically significance on mental function scores (t=12.393, P=0.000), social function score (t=8.459, P=0.000) and overall quality of life score (t=12.750, P=0.000) between the two groups after the interventions. Meanwhile, there was no statistically significance on material life score (t =-1.913, P=0.057) and physical function score (t=-0.328, P=0.744). The difference of the re-occurrence of pressure sores in the two groups was statistically significant (χ2=35.96, P=0.000), either. Conclusions Continuing nursing intervention can obviously reduce the risk the re-occurrence of pressure sores on high-risk elderly patients, in particular to improve the quality of life aspects of mental function and social function in patients, meanwhile with no obvious improvement in that of material life and body functions.
