Objective:
To explore the application of grid health education model in improving college students health literacy.
Methods:
The clustered stratified random sampling method was used among the pre-formative education freshmen in a Xi-an university, with 1 123 students randomly selected totally. The intervention group (578) received health literacy education based on grid health education model, while the control group (545) receuved the original health education model. The effect of gird model of health education on health literacy was compared between two groups of college students after one-semester intervention.
Results:
Insufficient health literacy was found among freshmen participants in Xi an(17.12%, 17.61%); health literacy on prevention and treatment of chronic diseases (15.92%, 16.70%) was significantly lower than the national average level of urban residents(22.73%). Health literacy of the two groups of college students was significantly improved(47.75%, 27.71%, χ 2=20.50, 5.47, P<0.05). The grid health education model had significant effects in improving health literacy among college students, except for health literacy on safety and emergency(P<0.05).
Conclusion
Health literacy of college students is insufficient compared to that of urban residents in China. Grid model of health education model is superior to conventional health education model, which is in line with the requirements of health education in colleges in the new era.

A novel antimicrobial peptide, named as perinerin (GenBank accession No. P84117), was isolated and characterized from Asian marine clamworms, Perinereis aibuhitensis Grube. Perinerin showes powerful and broad activity against both grampositive and gramnegtive bacteria in vitro, especially on Pseudemonas aeruginosa. To obtain large amounts of active perinerin and characterize its main physiochemical features, The perinerin weve expressed in Pichia pastoris. Intact perinerin gene amplified by the modified gene SOEing method(Gene splicing by overlap extension)was cloned into expression vector pPICZ?A and obtained recombinant vector pPICZ?APEN, then pPICZ?APEN was expressed in the Pichia pastoris GS115. The expressed sample was analyzed by TricineSDSPAGE. The results showed that Pichia pastoris was a suitable system producing the secreted form of perinerin. Bioactivity assay showed that the recombinant perinerin had marked antimicrobial effects.

RT-PCR amplification of ginseng ?-amyrin synthase gene was successfully performed based on the total RNAs extracted from ginseng hairy roots induced by Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4 using a modified guanidine isothiocyanate-method. Sequence analysis of this gene revealed that its sequence was consistent with the sequence of a previously reported ginseng ?-amyrin synthase gene (GenBank No. AB009030). This gene was inserted into pMD-119T simple vector and transformed into E.coli DH5?. Furthermore antisense plant expression vector of this gene was constructed using the pBI121 vector, laying foundation for studies on antisense regulation of ginseng ?-amyrin synthase gene.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the correlation between galectin-1 expression and the biological behaviors of human colorectal carcinoma.
METHODSSP immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of galectin-1 in 158 paraffin-embedded specimens including 30 normal mucosa, 25 adenoma, 65 colorectal carcinoma and 38 metastatic tumor specimens. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect galectin-1 mRNA expression in 32 fresh specimens of colorectal carcinoma and normal mucosa.
RESULTSThe positive expression level of galectin-1 was significantly different between normal mucosa, adenoma, colorectal carcinomas and metastatic tumors, with positivity rate of 0, 8%, 66% and 86%, respectively (P<0.05). Galectin-1 expression in moderately or well differentiated colorectal carcinomas was significantly lower than that in poorly differentiated ones (P=0.031), and its expression in invasive carcinomas was significantly higher than that in non-invasive carcinomas (P=0.000). Galectin-1 expression in colorectal carcinomas was significantly related with lymph node metastasis (P=0.004). In poorly differentiated colorectal carcinomas, the expression of galectin-1 mRNA was about 2.27 times that in moderately or well differentiated colorectal carcinomas (P=0.00); galectin-1 mRNA expression in invasive carcinoma was 1.98 times that in non-invasive carcinoma (P=0.002). In tumors with lymph node metastasis, galectin-1 mRNA expression was 1.42 times that in tumors without metastasis (P=0.018).
CONCLUSIONGalectin-1 can be involved in the development and progression of colorectal carcinoma, and may relate to the infiltration, differentiation and lymph node metastasis of colorectal carcinoma.
