Objective: To construct the antheraea pernyi lysozyme(ApLZ) expression system using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris, to assay the antibacterial activity of the recombinant ApLZ against Streptococcus mutans. Methods:The ApLZ expression system was used in the expression and purity of Ap-lysozyme. The antibacterial activity of the recombinant ApLZ against Streptococcus mutans were assayed by using agar diffusion method. Results:Expression system of ApLZ was constructed using the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris as a host. ApLZ was expressed correctly and secreted efficiently when the native signal sequence of ApLZ was used as secretion signal. The level of ApLZ expression in Pichia pastoris peaks at 96 h after the induction of sustaining 5 ml/L methanol. The molecular weight of the recombinant ApLZ is about 20 000. Conclusion:The recombinant ApLZ is active in inhibiting the growth of Streptococcus mutans.

Objective:To investigate the changes of hyoid position and pharyngeal airway before and after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) of skeletal mandibular prognathism. Methods:Sixteen severe skeletal mandibular prognathism cases(Class Ⅲ, 5 males and 11 females) were chosen. Pre and post operation lateral cephalograms analysis reflecting pharyngeal airway and position of the hyoid bone was performed. Results: ① After SSRO, the width of airway decreased significantly. ② The distance between the mandible and the hyoid bone was also decreased significantly. No significant differences were found regarding measurements of the hyoid bone to the cranial base in male patients. Conclusion: The distance from the mandible to the hyoid bone and the width of airway were decreased significantly after SSRO. It suggests that the tongue and airway might be reformed functionally to new environments following SSRO surgical treatment.

Objective To explore the effect of quality control circle (QCC) on reducing the incidence of complications in the patients with peritoneal dialysis (PD). Methods Eighty-nine patients who underwent peritoneal dialysis after discharge were divided into QCC group (45 cases) and control group (44 cases) according to random sampling method. Both groups were followed up regularly, QCC activity was applied in patients of the QCC group on the basis of the QCC activity procedure. The intervention time was 1 year. The blood pressure, standard rate of urea clearance index, peritonitis incidence, catheter drift rate, infection incidences of external orifice of catheter, admission rate of complications and peritoneal dialysis withdrawal incidence between 2 groups were compared. Results After interference, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in QCC group were significantly lower than those in control group:(124.11 ± 13.07) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) vs. (132.68 ± 12.09) mmHg and (72.13 ± 10.51) mmHg vs. (78.91 ± 11.79) mmHg, and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). The standard rate of urea clearance index in QCC group was significantly higher than that in control group:95.56%(43/45) vs. 81.82%(36/44), and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). After interference, the peritonitis incidence and admission rate of complications in QCC group was significantly lower than those in control group: 2.22% (1/45) vs. 13.64% (6/44) and 0 vs. 9.09% (4/44), and there were statistical differences (P<0.05). There were no statistical differences in catheter drift rate, infection incidences of external orifice of catheter and peritoneal dialysis withdrawal incidence between 2 group (P>0.05). The Spearman correlation analysis result showed that peritonitis was negatively correlated with education level (r = -0.28, P < 0.05), and standard rate of urea clearance index was positively correlated with education level (r = 0.21, P < 0.05). Conclusions The QCC management model can reduce the incidence of complications in patients with peritoneal dialysis.
