0.05).② On diagnosing ACS,the area under ROC curve of sCD40L was 0.773,the sensitivity,specificity and validity are 82.8%,61.9% and 85.7%,respectively,which were all highest among so much indexes.Conclusion High serum sCD40L levels may suggest vulnerable plaque,and it's somewhat valuable in diagnosing ACS.

0.05 ).But the difference of positive ratio between 1-year-old group was significant in 6 cases of B19 DNA positive (P0.05).Conclusion There are no markedly association between kawasaki disease and human parvovirus B19 infection.

Objective The gene encoding part of HTLV(Human Tcell leukemia viruses) envelope protein gp21 was cloned and expressed in order to prepare diagnostic agent for detecting HTLV.Methods The gene encoding part of HTLV envelope protein gp21 was obtained by combining four oligonucleotides into a long DNA fragment,then cloned and subcloned into Tvector and pGEX2T respectively.Expression was performed under induction in a fusion way that target protein gene was inserted downstream the carrying protein gene of pGEX2T which makes purification of target protein convenient.At last,Target protein was purified by affinity chromatography in glutathione sepharose 4B column and its antigenicity was confirmed by immunoblotting.Results and conclusion Sequence analysis showed it was feasible to obtain a target gene by ligating short oligonucleotides;As expected,target protein was expressed which exhibited strong antigenicity after being subcloned into fusion expression vector pGEX2T.

In order to change the situations such as students’passivity and low enthusiasm in the traditional experimental teaching of Microbiology and improve students’comprehensive qualities,exploration and attempt on experimental teaching reforms including teaching contents,teaching modes,laboratory management and evaluation system of examination were done.Teaching practices showed that the normalized ex- periment syllabus based on the correct orientation of experimental teaching of Microbiology,the actualization of teaching mode of basic skill training-integrated experiment-designed experiment and the management of opening laboratory were effective measures in improving experimental teaching of Microbiology.

Objective To study the clinical role of the variation of serum matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8)concentration in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods ELISA method was adopted to detect serum MMP-8 concentration and to observe concentration's differences and features among 80 selected ACS cases (43 acute myocardial infarction and 37 unstable angina pectoris), 43 stable angina pectoris (SAP) cases and 37 control cases.And meanwhile the atherosclerosis risk factors of each case, such as age, sex, hypertension, body mass index, smoking,family history, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia were collected and analyzed as a whole. Results First, serum MMP-8 concentration reached the highest point in ACS, and there was significant difference between SAP and control groups (P<0.01). Second, sermn MMP-8 in AMI was much higher than that in UAP with significant difference (P<0.01). There was no difference between UAP and SAP groups (P>0.05). Third, Logistic regression analysis revealed that serum MMP-8 concentration might be the indicator of ACS (B=4.493, P=0.000), particularly, that of AMI (B=9.961,P=0.000). Fourth, linear correlation and linear regression analysis found that only neutrophil was likely to influence serum MMP-8 concentration (r=0.274, P=0.001). Fifth, in the diagnosis of ACS, the area under ROC curve of MMP-8 was 0.785, the sensitivity and specificity were 68.6% and 76.5%, respectively. Conclusion ① Serum MMP-8 concentration has close relationship with the occurrence of ACS, particularly with AMI;② Serum MMP-8 concentration may be one of the predicting indicators of ACS and particularly of AMI;③ Neutrophil may be correlated with serum MMP-8 concentration;④ MMP-8 is of somewhat valuable in diagnosing ACS.

Objective To construct a luciferase reporter plasmid containing interferon regulatory factor 3(IRF-3)human gene promoter and to evaluate promoter activity in human embryonic kidney(HEK)-293 cells.Methods The 1 000 bp fragment was amplified by PCR with human genomic DNA as a template and was directionally cloned into pGL3-basic multiple cloning sites to construct the luciferase repor-ter plasmid pGL3-pIRF-3.Transfection of HEK-293 cells with the promoter-driven lucife-rase construct was performed to induce lucife-rase gene expression and calculate the relative luciferase activity unit(RLU).Promoter sequence of 1 000 bp upstream of transcription initiation site of IRF-3 was analyzed by using Promoter 2.0 Prediction software.Results DNA sequencing and restriction endonuclease analysis verified the successful construction of the plasmid pGL3-pIRF-3.This IRF-3 promoter exhibited a strong promoter activity with an increase of 42.2-fold of RLU in HEK-293 cells when compared with pGL-3 basic vector.The transfection experiment confirmed that the levels of its activation were significantly higher than that in controls in HEK-293 cells.Function analysis of IRF-3 promoter disclosed seve-ral GATA-1 and specific protein 1(Sp1) sites and E2F in minimal promoter region.Conclusion The plasmid pGL3-pIRF-3 promoter is successfully constructed and has a strong basal promoter activity in HEK-293 cells.
