Objective To clone and compare RNase HIIa and RNase HIIb of Chlamydia pneumoniae AR39(CpRNaseHIIa and CpRNaseHIIb). Methods Genes of CpRNase HIIs were amplified with the designed primers.Then,the recombinant plasmids were constructed,and CpRNase HIIs were expressed and purified with pET expression system.The 5′-32P-labeled RNA/DNA substrate and DNA with oligoribonucleotides substrates were prepared to identify characterization of CpRNase HIIs. Results Ribonuclease H activity of both CpRNase HIIa and CpRNase HIIb could cleave oligoribonucleotides strand,generating break with 3′-OH and 5′-phosphate ends.The results showed that there was different biochemical characterization between them. Conclusion CpRNase HIIa and CpRNase HIIb have different functions in C.pneumoniae.

Objective To investigate the dynamic change of expression of cyclin dependent kinase-4(CDK4)and cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor(p21)in premature rats with hyperoxia-induced chronic lung disease(CLD)and its role.Methods Eighty premature rats were randomly and equally divided into model group(hyperoxia group)and control group(room air group).CLD was induced by hypemxia exposure.The expression of CDK4 and p21 were observed with immunohistochemical method,and the levels of type I collagen were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay on days 1,3,7,14 and 21.Results Compared with control group,in model group,the expression of CDK4 protein and level of type I collagen statistically increased,but expression of p21 protein decreased significantly on days 14 and 21.The expression of CDK4 was positive correlated with the degree of fibrosis,and expression of p21 was negative correlated with the degree of fibrosis in model group.Conclusion The expression of CDK4 increases and expression of p21 decreases in premature rats exposed to hyperoxia,which may play an important role in the lung fibrosis.

In response to problems from the development of multi-drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria,it is urgent to find new antimicrobials.Antimicrobial peptides(AMPs) are a kind of ideal new antimicrobials with the advantages including their potential for broad-spectrum activity,rapid bactericidal activity and low propensity for resistance development,and have a bright future.Alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides are a main kind of AMPs.The following features was reviewed and elucidated including the structure and activity relationship(SAR) from different aspects including the degree of helicity,hydrophobic moment,hydrophobicity,net positive charges and so on,and the application of SAR on the molecular design and improvement of AMPs.
