Objective:To obtain human S100A2-GST fusion protein for further research on human S100A2(hS100A2)protein function and its interactions with other proteins and systems.Methods:hS100A2 gene from pHAHA-hS100A2 was subcloned into an expression vector pGST-moluc to construct pGST-moluc-hS100A2.The new plasmid was identified by digestion with XhoⅠand EcoRⅠ.The recombinant BL21 was induced with IPTG to express recombinant fusion protein hS100A2-GST,which was purified by Glutathion-Sepharose 4B ball beads,identified by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot,and quantified by Bradford method.Results:After the digestion,the recombinant plasmid was cutted into two fragments,300 bp and 5kb.After treated with IPTG,the recombinant BL21 strain expressed a protein,which was about 36 kD and was recognized specifically by an-ti-hS100A2.Its yield was 5 mg/L bacterial culture.After isolated by Glutathion-Sepharose 4B ball beads,its purity was 92%.Conclusion:hS100A2-GST expression plasmid pGST-moluc-hS100A2 was constructed successfully.hS100A2-GST fusion pro-tein could be expressed in Escherichia coli with higher yield and isolated with higher purity,which lays the foundation for the follow-up of the hS100A2 research.

OBJECTIVE:To compare the contents of Rhodioloside and polysaccharide extracted from different part in cultivated Rhodiola sachalinensis.METHODS:The Rhodioloside was extracted with 70% alcohol and determined by HPLC;The polysaccharide was extracted with water and determined by sulphuric acid-phenol method.RESULTS:The content of the Rhodioside ranged between 0.026 5% and 0.443 2%,and the content of polysaccharide between 0.965% and 4.612% in the medicinal herbs,with the main root showing the highest contents.CONCLUSION:The contents of Rhodioside and polysaccharide are obviously different in different part of cultivated Rhodiola sachalinensis.The results provided reasonable theoretical evidence for the exploitation of cultivated Rhodiola sachalinensis.

Objective To explore the effect and safety of the regimen containing Moxifloxacin in intensive phase for pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Methods 88 cases with initial tuberculosis(each group of 44 cases) were studied in comparison in the same period. The treatment group contained isoniazid, rifampicin and moxifloxacin of antituberculosis regime and the control group contained isoniazid,rifampicin and pyrazineamide. Results After 2 months intensive phase anti-tubercular treatment ,the sputum negative conversion rates was 95.0% and control's was 94.4%(P ＞ 0.05); the absorb rate of lesions: the treatment group 77.3 % and the control group 79.5%; the liver damage rate: the treatment group and control group was 68.2% ,34.1% respectively(P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion Anti-tuberculosis intensive phase regimes containing moxifloxacin for tuberculosis treatment was safe and effective in initial treatment of pulmonary tuberculose.

As a member of GTPase Rab family,Rab10 protein is not only involved in vesicle formation,transport,anchoring and fusion process,but also affects the occurrence and development of tumors.Research about the mechanisms of Rab10 in intracellular vesicle transport and tumor may provide a potential target and new idea for the anti-cancer therapy.

Multiple etiological factors are integrally involved in the development of hepatitis B virus (HBV)infection.Interleukin-10 (IL-10)is an essential cytokine of immune regulation,and IL-10 gene promoter polymorphism affects its mRNA transcription and serum level. IL-10 is related to the prognosis of HBV infection.This review briefly discusses the association of IL-10 gene polymorphism and its serum level with the prognosis of HBV infection,and summarizes the role of IL-10,as an anti-inflammatory cytokine,in host immune function, the prognosis and progression of HBV infection,and HBV-related complications.IL-10 gene polymorphism and its serum level are closely associated with inflammatory response after HBV infection,influence HBV clearance,and are related to the severity of HBV-related liver injury,liver cirrhosis,and hepatocellular carcinoma.The determination of IL-10 gene and serum levels may provide a predictive marker for the prognosis of HBV infection.

Exploring the functional network during the interaction between emotion and cognition is an important way to reveal the underlying neural connections in the brain. Sparse Bayesian network (SBN) has been used to analyze causal characteristics of brain regions and has gradually been applied to the research of brain network. In this study, we got theta band and alpha band from emotion electroencephalogram (EEG) of 22 subjects, constructed effective networks of different arousal, and analyzed measurements of complex network including degree, average clustering coefficient and characteristic path length. We found that: (1) compared with EEG signal of low arousal, left middle temporal extensively interacted with other regions in high arousal, while right superior frontal interacted less; (2) average clustering coefficient was higher in high arousal and characteristic path length was shorter in low arousal.

Many studies have shown that the embolism caused by vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is one of the major causes of ischemic stroke. However, there is still not a simple and precise method to identify the vulnerable plaques yet. This article reviews the various methods for detecting vulnerable plaques from the aspects of serology and imaging.

Acute appendicitis is the most common surgical or acute abdomen in childhood.Rapid and correct diagnosis is the premise of rational therapy,but there are still some problems in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Sufficient comprehension about clinical features and differential diagnostic diseases,typical clinical symptoms,physical examination,laboratory examinations,ultrasonography or CT would make a definite diagnosis.Laparoscopy is also used to make a diagnosis if necessary.
