Objective As the genome sequence of Campylobacter jejuni is a hypervariable sequence, the peblA gene sequence of Campylobacter jejuni Pen∶19 was sequenced and the peblA gene conservative was identified. To construct the eukaryotic expression recombinant plasmid of the peblA gene of Campylobacter jejuni Pen∶19 . Methods Total DNA of Campylobacter jejuni Pen∶2, Pen∶8, Pen∶19 and Pen∶21 as templates respectively, peblA gene DNA with KpnⅠ and EcoRⅠ sites was amplified by PCR using the same primer and the PCR product of Pen∶19 was sequenced. Because most close association with Guillain-Barre syndrome, the PCR product of Pen∶19 was selected as target gene and cloned into pcDNA3.1(+) and constructed the recombinant plasmid that was identified by endonuclease digestion and PCR and confirmed by sequencing. The recombinant plasmid was then transfected into mammalian cell COS-7 for expression. The transient expression was investigated by RT-PCR. The expression of peblA gene in the culture supernatant of positive clones was analyzed by ELISA. Results The peblA gene sequence of Campylobacter jejuni Pen∶2 and Pen∶19 was identical. The target gene was amplified from COS-7 cells transfected with recombinant plasmids by RT-PCR. PEBl protein could express in the culture supernatant in the transfected COS-7 cells by ELISA. Conclusion The peblA gene of Campylobacter jejuni was conservative. The recombinant plasmid was constructed and expressed in COS-7 cells successfully. The results obtained lay the foundation for research on development of Campylobacter jejuni DNA vaccine.

Objective: To explore the role of cytosine-phosphate-guanine oligodeoxynucleotide(CpG ODN)in enhan- cing the radiosensitivity to X-ray in mouse with Lewis lung cancer.Methods: The tumor-bearing mouse model was in- duced by injevting Lewis lung cancer cells into the right infra-axillary dermis.Thirty-two C57BL/6J mice were evenly ran- domized into 4 groups.Group A: the control group;Group B: the X-Ray radiation group;Group C: the CpG group; Group D: the CpG plus X-Ray radiation group.Group B was treated with X-Ray radiation only(3 Gy/F,on day 1,3,5, 8,10,and 12;the total dose was 18 Gy);group C was administered with CpG ODN 0.05 mg on day 1,3,5,8,10, and 12;group D was administered with CpG ODN 6h before X-ray radiation.The tumor growth and tumor growth delay (TGD)were observed in all groups.Meanwhile,the pathological change of the tumor tissue was observed with H-E staining method and the apoptosis of tumor cells were examined with the method of TUNEL.Results: The Lewis hmg cancer-bearing model was successfolly established in mice.The tumor volumes of the treatment groups were smaller than that in lhe control group(P

?AIM: To explore the relation of homocysteine ( Hcy ) and its metabolic related indicators with primary angle-closure glaucoma ( PACG) .?METHODS: In this study, a total of 150 PACG patients and 150 controls were enrolled. The patients with PACG were diagnosed by applanation tonometer, Humphrey perimetry ( HVF ) , optical coherence tomography ( OCT ) , gonioscope. The normal controls were recruited from physical examination center. Blood samples were collected and the plasma was used to determine homocysteine, vitamin B12 and folic acid. DNA was extracted to determine the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase ( MTHFR ) C677TT genotype and gene polymorphism.?RESULTS:There was a statistically significant difference (t=2. 04,P=0. 04) in mean homocysteine levels between patients with PACG ( 16. 11 ± 1. 66μmol/L ) and controls (15. 74± 1. 52μmol/L). The level of vitamin B12 in PACG group was 248. 09 ± 119. 07pg/mL and the control group was 230. 21 ± 142. 93pg/mL. No statistically significant difference was found on the vitamin B12 level between the two groups ( t = 0. 84, P = 0. 40 ). The folic acid levels showed no statistically significant differences( t=1. 65,P=0.17) between the PACG group(12. 02±7. 81ng/mL) and the control group (13. 15 ± 6. 25ng/mL). The frequency distribution of the MTHFR C677T genotypes was found to be significantly associated (χ2 =6. 2,P<0. 05) with PCAG (CC 84. 7%, CT 4. 7%, TT 10. 7%) as compared to the controls (CC 94. 7%, CT 2. 0%, TT 3. 3%). The frequency distribution of TT genotypes of MTHFR C677T in the PACG group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Moreover, our findings showed significant difference (χ2=14. 2,P<0. 05) between the allele frequency of the C677T single nucleotide polymorphism within the MTHFR gene in POAG patients ( T 87. 0%, C 13. 0%) and the control group(T 95. 7%,C 4. 3%) .?CONCLUSION: These results show that the Hcy level and the TT genotypes of MTHFR C677T were higher in the PACG patients than in controls. Therefore, our data suggests that high Hcy level and the related indicators are associated with high PACG risk.

Objective To explore the high risk factors of metabolic syndrome(MS) in obese children with acanthosis nigricans.Me-thods Body mass index(BMI),blood lipid including triglyeride(TG) and cholesterol(CHO),low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-C),blood pressure,the level of fasting blood glucose(FBG) and 2 h after oral glucose tolerance test blood glucose(OGTT 2h BG) and the level of fasting insulin(FINS) and 2 h after oral glucose tolerance test insulin (OGTT 2h INS) and homeostasis model appraisal insulin resis-tance index(HOMA-IR) were measured and compared between 25 obese children with acanthosis nigricans[male 15,female 10;aged 8.4-16.0,mean 10.6 years old,weight (72.11?17.66) kg;height (155?14) cm]and 32 normal healthy children[male 18,female 14;aged 7.6-15.8,mean 9.8 years old]in department of pediatric during 1 year.HOMA-IR were also analyzed.Ultrasonic inspections for liver were performed in those children.Results BMI,TG,LDL-C and blood pressure in the obese group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group(Pa0.05).Eighty-four percent of patients in obese children with acanthosis nigricans were diagnosed adiposis hepatica by ultrasonograph.Conclusions The increasing BMI,insulin resistance,blood lipid disorder and blood pressure increase in obese children with acanthosis nigricans are the high risk factors of MS,the close followed-up and treating this kind of obese children can acquire MS early and be helpful to postpone the progress of diabetesⅡ and cardiovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the pathogenesis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) nuclear factor kappa-?B(NF-?B) in children with primary nephritic syndrome(PNS) and the effect of astragalus on the activity of NF-?B.Methods Twenty-five children with PNS and 20 normal children were studied.Isolated PBMC were separated from 5 mL venous blood in asepsis condition.NF-?B stimulator,NF-?B inhabitor and astragalus were added into the different tubes of PBMC,respectively.The nuclear protein was extracted from the pellets and the optical density(A) values of nuclear protein was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The activity of PBMC NF-?B in PNS group was higher than that in normal group(P0.05).Astragalus could decrease the activity of PBMC NF-?B which had been stimulated by interleukin-1?(IL-1?)(P

Study the infect of child anorexia granule on serum ghrelin and leptin of anorexia children and its clinical efficacy. Selected 81 cases of anorexia children aged 1-6 years old into treatment group (42 cases) and control group (39 cases), in addition, 30 case healthy children as healthy control group. The control group children were treated with domperidone suspension 0.3 mg x kg(-1) x d(-1), tid, orally 30 minutes before meals. Treatment group were treated with child anorexia granule, 1-3 years 1 package, bid; 4-6 years 1 package, tid; po, 4 weeks as a course of treatment. Study the change of serum ghrelin and leptin before and after therapy. The study demonstrates that before treatment, the serum ghrelin level of disease group was lower than healthy group (P < 0.01), and the serum leptin level was higher than healthy group (P < 0.01). After treatment, the serum ghrelin level both increase, and the serum leptin decline. And the change of treatment group was significantly different with control group (P < 0.01). And the clinical effective rate are 95.23% and 74.35% (P < 0.01). After 6 months of follow-up visit, the children weight significantly increase in treatment group (P < 0.01). Results indicate that child anorexia granule can facilitate secretion of ghrelin, and inhibit secretion of leptin, so as to work up an appetite. And the molecular mechanism is its infect on serum ghrelin, leptin.
