Red-based recombineering has been widely used in Escherichia coli genome modification through electroporating PCR fragments into electrocompetent cells to replace target sequences. Some mutations in the PCR fragments may be brought into the homologous regions near the target. To solve this problem in markeless gene deletion we developed a novel method characterized with two-step recombination and a donor plasmid. First, generated by PCR a linear DNA cassette which comprises a I-Sec I site-containing marker gene and homologous arms was electroporated into cells for marker-substitution deletion of the target sequence. Second, after a donor plasmid carrying the I-Sec I site-containing fusion homologous arm was chemically transformed into the marker-containing cells, the fusion arms and the marker was simultaneously cleaved by I-Sec I endonuclease and the marker-free deletion was stimulated by double-strand break-mediated intermolecular recombination. Eleven nonessential regions in E. coli DH1 genome were sequentially deleted by our method, resulting in a 10.59% reduced genome size. These precise deletions were also verified by PCR sequencing and genome resequencing. Though no change in the growth rate on the minimal medium, we found the genome-reduced strains have some alteration in the acid resistance and for the synthesis of lycopene.

OBJECTIVE:To study the hypoglycemic effects of Insulin self-microemulsion for parenteral administration on mod-el rats with type 1 diabetes in vivo. METHODS:Rats were treated with streptozotocin(50 mg/kg)to reproduce model with type 1 diabetes,ip. The model rats were randomly divided into model group (normal saline),positive control group (Insulin injection 2.25 u/kg) and self-microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups (Insulin self-microemulsion 4.5,9 and 18 u/kg);and 10 normal rats were involved in sham-operation group (normal saline). Anesthesia and operation were conducted for all rats. Positive control group was administrated,ip;other rats were parenterally administrated. The blood glucose levels in groups were detected be-fore and after 15-600 min administration. Glucose tolerance test was conducted for the rats in normal control group,model group without glucose,model group with glucose and microemulsion group (Insulin self-microemulsion 9 u/kg). All group were given glucose except model group without glucose. RESULTS:Compared with sham-operation group,the blood glucose levels in model group within 0-240 min were increased,with significant difference(P<0.05). Compared with model group,there was hypoglyce-mic trend in positive control group after 15 min,the blood glucose levels within 30-480 min were decreased,the hypoglycemic peak was 36%,and the peak time was 30 min;there was also hypoglycemic trend in microemulsion low,medium and high dose groups after 30 min,the blood glucose levels within 45-360 min were decreased,hypoglycemic peak was 18%-21%,and the peak time was 90-120 min,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). All rats had glucose absorption peak except for model group without glucose in glucose tolerance test,and glucose of rats in microemulsion group reached its peak and then quickly de-creased. CONCLUSIONS:Insulin self-microemulsion can obviously reduce the blood glucose of model rats with type 1 diabetes.

A series of novel riminophenazine derivatives bearing an alkyl substituent attached to N-5 and imino nitrogen at C-3 position of the phenazine ring were obtained through rational drug design, aiming to maintain high anti-tubercular activity, lower toxicity and reduce lipophilicity. All target compounds were prepared by utilizing simple and flexible synthetic route and evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and screened for mammalian cytotoxicity. The results demonstrated that compounds with a cyclopropyl substituent at N-5 position were more active than the reference compound clofazimine. In particular, 2-(4-chloroanilino)-5-cyclopropyl-3-(4-methoxycyclohexyl) imino-3, 5-dihydrophenazine (25) was found to be the most potent compound with low cytotoxicity and lipophilicity. This compound could serve as a valuable lead molecule for further optimization.

Objective:To investigate the professional identity status of nursing students in higher vocational colleges in Shanghai, China, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:By cluster sampling, we selected 308 nursing students of grade 2019 from a higher vocational college in Shanghai for a survey with the General Information Questionnaire, Professional Identity Questionnaire for Nurse Students (PIQNS), Stanford Presenteeism Scale-6 (SPS-6), Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), Workplace Social Capital (WSC), and Nurse Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ). SPSS 22.0 was used for descriptive analysis, the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results:The total PIQNS score of the students was (64.93±12.83), the total SPS-6 score was (15.91±4.40), the total WLEIS score was (80.57±15.52), the total WSC score was (32.38±6.33), and the total PCQ score was (95.47±18.63). The PIQNS score was negatively correlated with the SPS-6 score ( r=-0.282, P<0.01), positively correlated with the WLEIS score ( r=0.712, P<0.01), positively correlated with the WSC score ( r=0.659, P<0.01), and positively correlated with the PCQ score ( r=0.681, P<0.01). The multiple linear regression analysis showed that personal interest, emotional intelligence, and psychological capital significantly affected the professional identity of nursing students, entering the regression equation for professional identity. Conclusions:The professional identity of higher vocational nursing students in Shanghai is at a medium level, and personal interest, emotional intelligence, and psychological capital are the main factors influencing professional identity.
