To study the chemical constituents of the Entada phaseoloides (L.) Merr., seeds of Entada phaseoloides were extracted with 70% ethanol at room temperature. Isolation and purification were performed by silica gel, reversed-phase silica gel column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC. Structures of the pure compounds were established on the basis of spectral analysis. Four sulfur-containing amide compounds were isolated from the n-BuOH-soluble fraction and identified as entadamide A-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->3)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), entadamide A (2), entadamide A-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3) and clinacoside C (4). Compound 1 is a new compound. Compound 4 is isolated from the genus Entada for the first time.

The external defibrillator is an emergency instrument used very widely in clinics. It plays an important role in rescuing ventricle fibrillation (VF) patients. We have designed an external defibrillator using the truncated exponential biphasic waveform. The system consists of three parts: the ECG collection module, the control module and the defibrillator module. They are introduced respectively, listing the main problems and the methods to solve them. Some experiments have been done and the corresponding results are given.

Hepatitis E, an acute infectious disease transmitted via the fecal-oral route, is caused by hepatitis E virus. However, no effective treatment currently exists for hepatitis E, and the only epidemic control approach is vaccination. But so for there are no commercial vaccine for hepatitis E available in the world. To find a new expression system to develop recombinant hepatitis E vaccine, in this study the expression system of methylotrophic yeast Hansenula polymorpha was used to express the gene encoding amino acid 112 - 607 of the open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotype IV. In order to achieve high expression level, the coding sequence was optimized according to codon usage bias of Hansenula polymorpha and synthesized through overlapping PCR. Subsequently the gene was subcloned into the multi-copy expression vectors of Hansenula polymorpha, which include pDGXHP1.0 (MOX promotor), pDGXHP2.0 (MOX promotor) and pDGXHP2.1 ( FMD promotor). The series of one-copy and multi-copy recombinant plasmids were transformed into ATCC26012(Ura3-) by electroporation. The transformants were cultured in selection media MDL and screened for the existence of foreign gene by PCR. Then the strains were induced in MM media and the expression products were detected by SDS-PAGE, ELISA and Western blot assays to select the high-level expression strains. The result of SDS-PAGE showed that the HEV ORF2 expression product was accumulated up to 12% of total cellular protein and its molecular weight is 56kD. The expression product showed high immunoreactivity detected by ELISA and the highest titer is 1:2048. The result of Western blot demonstrated that the expression product could be specifically recognized by the polyclonal antibody against HEV. The successful expression of HEV ORF2 protein in Hansenula polymorpha provides foundation for the further development of recombinant subunit vaccine against hepatitis E.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effects of Bushen Tongmai Recipe (, BSTMR) on mRNA and protein expressions of protein kinase B alpha (PKB alpha) in hepatic, adipose, muscular, and ovarian tissues of polycystic ovary (PCO) rats with insulin resistance (IR) and to explore the possible molecular mechanism of BSTMR in treating IR and ovulation dysfunction.
METHODSFemale 22-day-old SD rats were injected subcutaneously with sodium prasterone sulfate (9 mg.100g(-1).d(-1)) for 20 days and fed with high-fat diet for 80 days to induce PCO rats with IR. Then, the PCO rats were randomly divided into the model group (n=23) and the treated group (n=21). The treated group was administered with BSTMR for 2 weeks. Meanwhile, a group with 15 rats of the same age was used as the control group. The histological changes in the ovaries were examined. Fasting blood glucose (FBG) was determined by the glucose oxidase method. Serum fasting insulin (Fins) was determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The mRNA level of PKBalpha was measured by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Immunohistochemistry staining and Western blot analysis were employed to detect the protein expression in target tissues.
RESULTSCompared with the control group, the ovaries in the model group showed multiple follicular cysts, levels of FBG and Fins in the model group increased markedly (P<0.05 or P<0.01, respectively), and the insulin sensitive index (ISI) decreased obviously (P<0.01). The mRNA and protein expressions of PKBalpha in target tissues in the model group were dramatically lower than those in the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the stratum granulosum of the ovarian follicle in the treated group increased markedly, the level of Fins in the treated group decreased obviously (P<0.01), ISI in the treated group improved markedly (P<0.01), and the mRNA and protein expressions of PKBalpha in target tissues of the treated rats were elevated significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONBSTMR could improve IR and ovulation dysfunction in PCO rats with IR, and its molecular mechanisms might be closely related with the elevation of mRNA and protein expressions of PKBalpha in target tissues of PCO rats with IR.
