Biocontrol bacteria 308R(pKSH) with hrpN of Erwinia amyloyora. It can secrete the Harpin protein which can induce plant resistance. After successive growth in antibiotic-free LB medium for 50 generations, only 23.1% of the cell still retained the plasmid pKSH, in comparison with 4.75% of the cosmid pCPP430. Sprayed onto the leaves of tomato, the recombinant strain maintained a population density of over 10~ 5 cfu/cm~ 2 when kept under high humidity in thirteen days, but if without humidity, the strain keep 10~ 4 cfu/cm~ 2 over in five days. On the tomato leaves, the stability of the recombinant strain 308R(pKSH) was higher than the strain 308R(pCPP430). The experiment indicated that the recombinant strain 308R(pKSH) had higher stability compared with the strain 308R(pCPP430), but that was not enough. In this paper reasons for unstability and strategies for improving were discussed for the recombinant strain.

Phytoene synthase is a rate-limiting enzyme in the pathway of carotenoid biosynthesis.To aim at establishing a transformation of Ginseng callus cells, elevating the nutritive value through encouraging the composition of corresponding carotenoid,taking Ginseng callus cells as acceptor,psy gene were transformed into cells via Agrobacterium-mediated. The factors affecting genetict ransformation were also investigated seperately from concentrations of A.tumefaciens, age of Ginseng callus cells, infection time and co-culture time. PCR,PCR-Southern and RT-PCR analysis from the transferred gene plants proved that psy gene has been transferred into Ginseng callus cells and can be expressed. The content of ?-carotene was increased by an average of 26 times.A base of improving and raising the contents of carotenoid in the Ginseng callus cell was established.

Objective To analyze the curative effect and toxicity of concurrent chemoradiotherapy and sequential chemoradiotherapy in non-small cell lung cancer patients.Methods 64 patients with unresectable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer in our hospital between May 2010 and Mar 2013 were randomly assigned into concurrent group and sequential group for this test.Concurrent group patients (32 cases) were given Cisplatin and Gemcitabine on the 1,4,7 week during radiotherapy.Sequential group patients accepted 3 cycles chemotherapy before radiotherapy.Results The response rate was 68.8％ in concurrent group,and 43.8％ in sequential group.Difference was significant between the response rates of the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).There was significant difference in haematological toxicity,which was 100％ in concurrent group and 65.6％ in sequential group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in rates of radiation pneumonia and radiation esophagitis in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05) Conclusions Concurrent chemoradiotherapy has better curative effect than sequential chemoradiotherapy.Concurrent chemoradiotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for patients with unresectable stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective To estimate the impact of the image quality of conebeam CT on the accelerator for the Bowtie filter. Methods This study used the system of conebeam CT on the accelerator,and scaned the phantom of Catphan 500 in the multiplicate scanning conditions with and without the Bowtie filter. The scanning conditions were : voltage :120 kV, 100 kV, 80 kV, electricity:25 mA, 40 mA, 64 mA,time of exposure :40 MHz, collimator: M20, L20, scanning angle :358°. We transmitted the scanning data in the treatment planning systems of Philips Pinnacle 8. 0, and estimated the influence of the image quality.Results With and without the Bowtie filter, all of the images had high geometric precision, and the maximum difference of the nominal and actual distance at the horizontal, vertical and arrowy directions in the transection were 0. 50% and 0. 56% ( t = 0. 44, P ＞ 0. 05 ), 0. 44% and 0. 48% ( t = 1.01, P ＞ 0. 05 ),0. 50% and 0. 56% (t = 1.06,P ＞0. 05 ), respectively. The spatial resolution was 0. 167 cm, immutably.The ununiformity with the Bowtie filter was decreased of 28.0% -76.0% (t=2.53,P＜0. 05)、2.8%-50.0% (t= 3.02,P＜0.01 ) than those without the Bowtie filter, and the contrast-to-noise ratio was increased of 4.0% -41.6% (t=2.70,P＜0.05)、4.0% -50.0% (t=2.14,P＜0.05), using the collimators of M20 and L20, respectively. The Bowtie filter could display clearly the edge of scanning phantom, and improve the CT number of the image edge of phantom. And the linearity of CT number was also improved. Couclusions With the Bowtie filter, the image uniformity, the precision and linearity of CT number and the contrast-to-noise ratio were improved obviously, the edge artifacts were decreased, and the geometric precision and the spacial resolution did not change.

OBJECTIVETo study the overexpression of Sox9 gene on rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for repairing articular cartilage injury in vivo.

METHODSRabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were transduced with lentivirus vector containing Sox9 gene and then cartilage specific molecule was detected by RT-PCR in vitro. Total 48 knee joints of 24 mature New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into 3 groups according to different defect treatment. After animals anesthesia,a full-thickness cylindrical cartilage defect of 4 mm diameter and 3 mm deep was created in the patellar groove using a stainlesssteel punch. Meanwhile, the transfected cells were implanted to repair the rabbit model with full-thickness cartilage defects. Cartilage defects tissue was observed with light microscope, electron microscope, HE and immunohistochemistry staining to assess the repair of defects by the complex at 6 weeks or 12 weeks after the implantation.

RESULTSAt 3 days after the transfection, Sox9 gene expression was highest and Sox9 gene expression decreased with the increase of time. At 3 days after the transfection, the expression of collagen type II began and reached the peak at 14 days. It showed that the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells went into chondrogenic differentiation after transfected by Sox9 gene. Histological observation showed that at 6 weeks after the operation, the defects in the experimental group was filled with hyaline like cartilage tissue, 12 weeks after operation,the defects of cartilage and subchondral bone had satisfactory healing. Both at 6 and 12 weeks postoperatively, the defects were filled with fibrous tissues in control groups. Meanwhile, immunohistochemical staining of sections with type II collagen antibodies showed the proteins in the regenerated tissue stained positive for type II collagen and stronger than the control groups. The histological scoring system indicated that the cartilage repair of experiment groups were better than the two control groups with statistical significances.

CONCLUSIONOverexpression of Sox9 gene on rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) promote the repair of cartilage defect.
