Objective To investigate the biological characteristics of rpoS gene deleted mutation in Salmonella typhi under different stress conditions,so as to explore the target gene for the prevention and treament of Salmonella typhi infection.Methods rpoS gene deleted mutant of Salmonella typhi was prepared by homologious recombination.rpoS mutant and parental strains were incubated under iso-osmia and various stress conditions:acid stress(pH 4.2),high osmolarity stress(NaCl 300 mmol/L),bile stress (1.5 mmol/L sodiumdeoxycbolate)and oxidative stress(1 mmol/L H2O2).The growth curves were compared between mutant and parental strains under different incubation conditions(t test).Results rpoS gene deleted mutant of Salmonella typhi Was successfully generated.Compared with the parental strain,the survival ability of rpoS mutant was significantly compromised under the acid stress,high osmolarity stress and oxidative stress(t values at4 h were 12.864,3.594 and 12.979;t values at 14 h were6.497,3.039 and 10.440,P<0.05 or<0.01).Conclusion rpoS is important for Salmonella typhi to overcome the acid,high osmolarity and oxidative stresses,and it may be a target gene for the prevention and treatment of Salmonella typhi infection.

Objective To study the correlation between vitamin D receptor(VDR)polymorphism and psoriasis in the Chinese patients.Methods VDR genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP in 112unrelated psoriatic patients as well as 108unr elated healthy controls.Results AA and Bb genotypes were found to be ex-pressed more frequently in psoriatic patients(19.6%and 32.1%)than those in normal controls(7.4%and14.8%),respectively.However,no signifi cant correlation was identified between VDR polymorphismand sex,age at onset,family history of psoriasis in psoriatic patients.In addition,there was no significant difference in the fre-quency of A,a alleles and B,b alleles between normal controls and psoriatic patients.Conclusions There is a significant difference in VDR genotypes between psoriatic patients and normal controls.The presence of hom ozygote AA or heterozygote Bb might contribute to the susceptibility of psoriasis.

Ulcerative colitis( UC)is a disease difficult to cure and easy to relapse. Although the pathogenic and recurrent factors for UC are not clear,dietary factors are thought to be associated with both of them and becoming the hot topic of UC-related studies. Traditionally,dietary fiber is considered beneficial to UC,however,some of the latest overseas studies raised doubts about it. In this article,the dietary fiber and its role in UC were reviewed.

A high-throughput method for screening drug multi residues was developed by quadrupole-time-of-flight( Q-TOF) mass spectrometry together with QuEChERS sample preparation technique. It has been used for the determination of 57 drugs, such as tetracyclines ( TCs ) , sulfonamides ( SAs ) , quinolones ( QNs ) , triphenylmethanes (TPMs), estrogens (ETs), androgens (AGs) and glucocorticoids (GCs) in fish. The optimized pretreatment conditions were examined. The target compounds were extracted with acetonitrile under the condition of Na2 EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer, and the usage of clean-up reagents was 25 mg anhydrous magnesium sulfate, 12. 5 mg octadecylsilane and 6. 25 mg N-Propylethylenediamine sorbent for extracted solvent of each milliliter. The positive results acquired by this high-throughput method were confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-MS/MS) . The detection limit for these 59 drugs was in the range of 0. 5-5. 3 μg/kg. The method is time-saving, convenient, effective and wide coverage. Its sensitivity can meet the requirement of the detection of drug residues in aquatic products.

OBJECTIVE To investigate genes associated with the drug-resistance of ?-lactam antibiotics in Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PAE) isolated from clinical patients. METHODS ?-Lactamase genes including TEM,SHV,OXA-10,PER,VEB,GES,CARB,IMP,VIM,SPM,GIM,DHA,FOX,MOX and oprD2 were detected by PCR amplification in 33 PAE isolates. RESULTS TEM,SHV,GES,CARB and VIM genes were positive in 100%,6.1%,6.1%,9.1% and 12.1% of 33 isolates,respectively.The deletion of oprD2 gene was found in 22 isolates.Other ?-lactamase genes were absent in all isolates.By PCR amplification,DNA sequencing and BLASTn comparison analysis,the CARB genes of 2 strains were demonstrated to be CARB-3 and the VIM genes of 2 strains were VIM-2. CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa carries various beta-lactamase genes in clinical PAE patients,and the deletion ratio of oprD2 gene is high.
