Objective To construct an eukaryotic recombinant plasmid with HGFSP, a hybrid gene encoding the antigen epitopes of MSA1, MSA2, RESA and CSP in different developing stages of Plasmodium falciparum(P.f. ). Methods HGFSP was sub-cloned into an eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 from a prokaryotic recombinant plasmid pSK-HGFSP to construct the eukaryotic recombinant expression plasmid pc-HGFSP. The identified recombinant was then transfected into HepG2 cells with liposome-mediated method. The G418-selected positive cell clones were tested to identify the immunogenicity of HGFSP-expressing antigen. Results It was evidenced that HGFSP was correctly inserted into pcDNA3 by restriction enzymes map analysis. HGFSP-expressing antigen-specific fluorescent response was observed in pc-HGFSP-transfected HepG2 cells. The results of SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting showed that there was a 23 kD protein band, which can be specifically recognized by anti-sera of HGFSP-expressing protein in pc-HGFSP-transfected HepG2 cell lysis. Conclusion Pc-HGFSP, an eukaryotic recombinant plasmid encoding hybrid antigen epitopes of P.f ., was constructed successfully and the antigenicity of pc-HGFSP-expressing protein was confirmed.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of humanistic care for medical care integration on quality of life in elder patients with mild cognitive impairment. Method:Seventy patients with mild cognitive impairment in our hos-pital were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=35 ) and control group ( n=35 ) using random number ta-ble. The patients in the control group were given routine care, while those in the experimental group were given hu-manistic care for medical care integration and home visiting once a month besides routine care. All the patients were evaluated by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale ( MoCA) , Activities of Daily Living ( ADL) , and the MOS Item Short from Health Survey ( SF-36 ) during hospitalization, three months and six months after hospital discharge. Result:Three and six months after hospital discharge, the scores of these three scales of all subjects in two groups were significantly higher than those during hospitalization ( P<0 . 05 ) . The scores of the subjects in the experimental group also significantly higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion: For the elder patients with mild cognitive impairment, humanistic care for medical care integration can significantly improve the cognitive function, self -care ability and quality of life. Therefore, it is worthy using in clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the level of serum uric acid(SUA) and carotid atherosclerosis in male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods A collection of 579 male T2DM patients with or without carotid atherosclerosis were grouped based on quartiles of SUA. Age, SUA, smokers, duration, body mass index(BMI), blood pressure, total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), blood urea nitrogen(BUN), creatinine(Cr), and HbA1C were determined in all subjects. The plaques in carotid arteries and intima-media thickness(IMT) were measured with high-resolution ultrasound. Results BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, TG, and Cr showed a gradual increase, while HDL-C and HbA1C showed a gradual decrease according to the higher SUA quartiles in male T2DM(P<0.05). Nevertheless, the detectable rates of smokers, duration, age, TC, LDL-C, and BUN had no relationships with the SUA quartiles(P>0.05). The detectable rate of carotid atherosclerosis and the thickness of carotid plaque were positively associated with the levels of SUA in male patients with T2DM(P<0.05). However, intima-media thickness of carotid arteries did not illustrate the correlation with the levels of SUA in male T2DM patients(P>0.05). Age, HbA1C, and SUA were independent factors of carotid atherosclerosis in these patients by logistic regression(P<0.05). Conclusion The levels of SUA seems to be associated with the occurrence and development of carotid atherosclerosis in male patients with T2DM.

International Eye Science 2021;21(12):2137-2140
AIM:To analyze the effects of corneal surface morphology and tear-film with different incisions guided by corneal topography after phacoemulsification.
METHODS: Retrospective study. Totally 56 patients(60 eyes)were selected and divided into clear corneal incision group and angle scleral margin incision group who were treated by phacoemulsification in our hospital from June 2019 to December 2020. Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), ocular surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire, tear film break-up time(TBUT), corneal surface regularity index(SRI), corneal surface asymmetry index(SAI)and corneal surface astigmatism(CYL)were measured preoperatively and postoperatively, the results were statistically analyzed.
RESULTS: BCVA in both groups increased after operation(P<0.01). The OSDI score of the two groups increased significantly after surgery(P<0.01). TBUT was shortened to varying degrees after surgery(P<0.05). SAI and SRI increased to varying degrees in both groups after surgery, and SAI value of angle scleral margin incision group in 1wk and 1mo postoperatively was significantly lower than that in clear corneal incision group(P<0.05). The corneal astigmatism at 1wk postoperatively was significant increased in both groups(P<0.05). The astigmatism increase of clear corneal incision group at 3mo postoperatively was still higher than that before surgery.
CONCLUSION: Angle scleral margin incision has less effect on stability of tear film and corneal surface morphology, which is reliable on phacoemulsification.
