The expression cDNA library of A. tabescens was constructed by SMART technique, which useλTriplEx2 as a vector. The titer and the percentage of the constructed library were about 1.0 × 106pfu/mland 98.3% respectively, and the titer and the capacity of the amplified library were about 3.1 × 108pfu/mland 4.2 × 1010. The library was used to provide expressed sequence tags (ESTs). 147 Expressed SequenceTaqs (ESTs) were gained from 176 clones, which were selected randomly and sequenced at the 5'end. Thesequences were submitted to the EMBL database. Blasting the sequences in the GenBank, 43 of them werefound that they have significant similarity with data in GenBank. EST AJ620046 was has significantsimilarity with the arabinosidase of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. Using SMART-RACE a full-length cDNA ofAJ620046 was successfully obtained. In order to initially characterize the biochemical properties ofAJ620046, the ORF of AJ620046 named AF was cloned and expressed in Pichia Pastoris yeast.Recombinant pHIL-S1-AF constructed by inserting AF into pHIL-S1 was transformed into Pichia PastorisGS115. Preliminary experiments indicated that AJ620046 was expressed as a 32 kDa protein in recombinantyeast.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of‘incorrect cases’in medical statis-tics teaching. Methods The junior students (n=307)of clinical medicine were selected as research subjects by random cluster sampling. They were divided into the teaching improving group (n=151) who accepted case teaching and control group (n=156)who accepted traditional teaching. At the end of the term,the teaching effect was surveyed by questionnaires and compared between the two groups. Measurement data was analyzed by t test,enumeration data by χ2 test and ranked data by rank sum test. Results Students' interests of medical statistics and understanding the importance of the course in teaching improving group were significantly higher than that in control group (Z=-2.375,P=0.018;Z=-2.971,P=0.003). The proportion of students with learning difficulties in teaching improving group was obviously lower than that in control group (Z=-2.488,P=0.013). The satisfaction with theory and practical teaching in teaching improving group (84.10% and 88.74%,respectively)was significantly higher that in control group (73.08%and 71.79%,respectively)(χ2=5.530,P=0.013;χ2=13.841,P<0.001). Although no difference was observed in the test score between the two groups (t=1.230,P=0.220),knowledge of parameter estimation,hypothesis testing and science research design in teach-ing improving group was significantly higher than that in control group (χ2=6.829,P=0.009;χ2=5.835, P=0.016). Conclusions Application of ‘incorrect cases’in medical statistics teaching could arouse students' learning interests and improve clinical medical students' comprehensive analy sis ability of medical statistics.

Objective To study the technique and clinical effect of endoscopic surgery using high frequency electrotome with suction device for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma. Methods In this study, we retrospective analyzed the clinical data of 10 patients treated between January 2009 and December 2015. All these patients were treated by endoscopic surgery using high frequency electrotome with suction device. The average blood loss during surgery, tumor residual, recurrent tumor and duration of recovery were evaluated. Results The tumor was completely removed in all 10 patients. The average blood loss was 465 ml, there was no postoperative complication, all patients had no residual tumor, and there was no recurrent tumor over a follow-up of 6~18 months. Conclusion Though it was not preoperative transcatheter arterial embolization, the endoscopic surgery using high frequency electrotome with suction device can be used to treated nasopharyngeal angiofibroma which either limited to nasopharyngeal cavities and paranasal sinus with intraoperative blood pressure control.

SMART-RACE was performed after isolating the total RNA of Armillariella tabescens to amplify the full-length cDNA of arabinosidase (GenBank Accession No. AJ620046). Bioinformatics analysis was used to analyze the code frame of arabinosidase, to predict its structure and function. Recombinant plasmid pPIC9-AF was constructed and then electroporated into methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris GS115. The secreted 6 ? His fusion protein was purified to analyze its enzymology property. This arabinosidase had high activity at 30-35℃ under acid condition, and was stable within wide range of pH and temperature. It maintained about 80% activity at the range of pH4. 0-8.0 and 20-40℃,wider than many other cloned arabinosidase. So it was worthy to go step further to study this enzyme, and recombinant expression provided a chance of highly expressing arabinosidase.

Objective To investigate the application of colostomy care products in managing the leakage around PTCD drainage tube, and to discuss its clinical effect. Methods A total of 56 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice, who had received PTCD and suffered from postoperative leakage around PTCD drainage tube, were randomly and equally divided into the study group (n=28) and the control group (n=28). The colostomy care powder, the skin protective film and the colostomy bag were used for the patients of the study group, while iodophors, sterile gauze and mupirocin ointment were employed for the patients of the control group. The incidence of irritant dermatitis around PTCD drainage tube, the degree of comfort to the indwelling tube judged by the patient, and the nursing workload for PTCD drainage tube were determined, and the results were compared between the two groups. Results The incidence of irritant dermatitis around PTCD drainage tube in the study group was obviously lower than that in the control group. And the degree of comfort to the indwelling tube judged by the patient in the study group was much higher than that in the control group. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Combination use of colostomy care powder, skin protective film and colostomy bag can effectively reduce the incidence of irritant dermatitis around PTCD drainage tube and improve the patient’s condition. Therefore, this method is worthy of popularization in clinical practice.

Background With the changes of diet and living style,the diabetes has become the major diseases affecting human health.Diabetic cataract is a common complication of diabetes. Objective The present study was to investigate the difference of lens proteomics between diabetic cataract and age related cataract using two dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry in order to postpone happening of diabetic cataract and offer the effective approach to the prevention and therapy of diabetic cataract. Methods The lenses were obtained from 8 diabetic patients and 12 age-related cataract patients during the surgery to extract the protein by lysis and centrifugation.The lens proteins were separated using immobilized pH gradients 2-DE.Image analysis was carried out using PDQuest Advanced-8.0.1 software package.Significant difference of the crystallines was identified by matrixassisted laser adsorption/ionization time of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and peptide mass fingerprint combined with protein database. Results The maps of 2-DE showed that lens proteins of diabetic cataract and age related cataract were in the section of pH 5-9 with the relative molecular weight 14000-97000;while relative molecular weight of more abundant crystalline was localized at 20000-31000.About 3 differential protein spots were detected by image analysis software.Two crystallines,αB and βB1 crystallin,were identified using MALDI-TOF-MS.Conclusions Proteomic analysis of lens can be accomplished and the proteins can be well separated,moreover,differential proteins can be analyzed using 2-DE and mass spectrometry between diabetic cataract and age related cataract.These results indicate that αB and βB1 crystallin proteins accelerate the development of diabetic cataract.This technique offers a new avenue for clarity of lens proteins of diabetic cataract other than age related cataract.
