The MPN method was used to enumerate ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in water and sediments of several shallow lakes. The suitable incubation time, medium types and substrate (ammonium sulphate) concentrations were studied. The results showed that, MPN values increased with the incubation time, reaching a stable maximum at some time stages, which was 40 days in all the samples for MSF medium. Among the three media used (XZ-AOB、MSF、SW), MSF give the highest MPN value. In addition, am- monium sulphate concentration in medium was an important factor affecting MPN estimation of AOB. Compared to AOB in lake sediments, AOB in lake water was more sensitive to ammonium sulphate concentration.

Objectives To understand the susceptible factors for tobacco use among doctors in Henan province.Methods A random multilevel cluster sampling method was conducted.2 990 subjects were studied with an inquiry and self-reported questionnaire.Results The total smoking rate was 27.5%.The current smoking rate was 22.3%.Daily smoking rate was 13.3%.The main reasons for smoking were social needs,pressure relief,getting refreshing.About 21.4% subjects smoked in front of patients.Majority doctors understood the relationship between smoking and some diseases.The multivariate analysis showed that the doctors'smoking behavior was related with his gender,age,education background,monthly revenue,working section,hospital administration level,knowledge scale of tobacco being harmful on health,knowledge scale on the relationship between smoking and illness,doctors'social norm attitude for smoking.Conclusions The smoking behavior of doctors was complex,which was related to personal,social environment factors.Only comprehensive smoking prevention interventions could be stressed to produce lasting behavior change.

Homeostasis between the host and viruses is naturally maintained.On the one hand,the immune system activates the immune re-sponse to kill or eliminate viruses;on the other hand,the immune system controls the immune response to maintain immune homeostasis. The cause of persistent infections with hepatitis viruses such as HBV and HCV is that viral molecules damage the immune system of the host and their variants escape immune clearance.Long-term coexistence of the host and viruses is the process involving various immune cells and molecules and is the result of homeostasis maintenance in antiviral immune response.The immune homeostasis maintained during persis-tent infections with hepatitis viruses is analyzed by the cellular and molecular mechanisms.

Objective To study the curative effect of endoscopic dilatation in children with benign esophageal stricture. Methods 98 patients with benign esophageal stenosis from June 2013 to June 2016 were selected as the subjects of group A, group B and group C, 11 patients in group A were reflux esophageal stenosis, 43 children in group B were congenital esophageal atresia and in group C were 44 patients with chemical burn esophageal stricture. Then compare the three groups of children before the expansion of stenosis before the situation, the number of expansion and complications occurred. Results There was no significant difference in the average diameter of stenosis among the three groups (P > 0.05). The average length of the children in group C was higher than that in group A and group B, and group B was higher than group A, the difference was statistically significant (P > 0.05). The average number of expansion in group C was higher than that in group A and group B, and group B was higher than that in group A and group B higher than group A, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The incidence of complications in group C was higher than that in group A and B. The difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between group A and group B (P > 0.05). Conclusion Endoscopic dilatation has a good clinical effect on children with benign esophageal stricture, but children with chemical burn esophageal stricture need to be expanded more often, while the complications are higher and the treatment is more difficult.

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression vector of human PRKCB1 containing enhanced green fluorescence protein gene and transfer into human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs),then identify activity of expression protein.Methods The pReceiver-M29-PRKCB1 eukaryotic expression plasmid was constructed by frame amplified from pMD18-T-PRKCB1 plasmid.Then the recombinant plasmids were identified by enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing.According to optimized conditions,the eukaryotic expression plasmids were transfered into HUVECs and observed under fluorescence microscope.After that,transfection efficiency was calculated under random vision.The plasma membrane/cytosol ratio of fluorescence was calculated under confocal microscope.The translocation was identified.Results The gene sequence was completely consistent with that reported in GenBank.The enhanced green fluorescence protein was observed in HUVECs after 48 hours.Transfection efficiency was 18.6%?1.6%.The translocation was observed.Conclusion The eukaryotic expression plasmid is successfullyconstructed and transfered into HUVECs,the translocation was identified.It is a potential tool for screening HUVECs stably expressing human protein kinase C ?2 and isolating protein complex.

Objective:To summarize the allergic mechanism caused by traditional Chinese medicine injection (TCMI) to provide some references for perfecting Good Laboratory Practice(GLP) of TCMI.Method:The related iteratures in data bases at home and abroad were reviewed,and the present experimental research methods about allergies were referred to to have a view of future studies.Result:The allergic mechanism of TCMI was mostly antigen-antibody reaction, part of which was anaphylactoid reaction.The method of the evaluation of allergy caused by TCMI only was animal experiments, but there were still some allergies caused by TCMI after the evaluation with this method.The present experimental research methods indicated that the detection of mediators of inflammation and FCM(Flow Cytometry) could be used to evaluate the allergies caused by TCMI.Conclusion:More attention should be paid to allergies caused by TCMI for its complicated mechanism and frequent occurrences in clinic.It may be an effective way to evaluate the allergies caused by TCMI with several methods including in vivo and in vitro.

Objective To study the Ile796Val polymorphism in human SCAP gene in Hubei area, and analyze its correlation with coronary heart disease (CHP) and hypertension and the relationship between polymorphism and lipid metabolism. Methods Using PCR RFLP, we detected genotypes of Ile796Val polymorphism in human SCAP gene. Results The allele A frequencies of Ile796Val in human SCAP gene for controls, CHD patients and the hypertension patients were 0.32, 0.45 and 0.42 respectively. The allele G frequencies were 0 68, 0.55 and 0.58 respectively. There were significant differences in frequencies of genotype and alleles between controls and hypertension group. And there was significant difference in the level of TC, LDL C and ApoB. In CHD group, there was significant difference in the TC level between different genotypes. In hypertension patients, although a difference was noted in genotype, there was no significant difference in allele frequencies and lipid level exceps a significant difference in the levels of TC, LDL C and ApoB in hypertension patients. Conclusion Ile796Val polymorphism in human SCAP gene may be a great agent to cause disorder in the lipid level of blood and lipid metabolism of tissue. It is of great significance in disorder in lipid metabolism of inter cellular and genetic investigation of hyperlipidemia.
