A bacterial strain Eml isolated from contaminated soil of Shengli oil field was identified as Rhodococcus ruber according to its phenotype, physiological and chemical properties, and its 16S rRNA gene sequence. This strain could degrade various polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as alkanes in petroleum, and produce bioemulsifier. The results indicated that strain Eml could produce bioemulsifier efficiently when n-hexadecane was used as sole carbon source. The optimal conditions for the synthesis of bioemulsifier were as followed: 10g/L of n-hexadecane, 1g/L of yeast extract, media initial pH 7, and cultivation was carried out at 30℃ on a rotary shaker at 200 rpm. Under these conditions the surface tension of culture decreased to the lowest value, around 30 mN/m, after 1 day, and the emulsifying capacity was 100% . The concentration of bioemulsifier reached to the highest value, around 68 times of CMC , after 5 days' cultivation. The results also showed that the bioemulsifier produced by this strain should be lipid.

Stroke is a hi-attack rate,hi-multilation rate and hi-death rate disease.More than 70 percent patients with stroke remain functional disturbance,which destroy their quality of life and bring them heavy burden.The early multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment,rehabilitation care,family rehabilitation training and application of new technology are the major strategies in kinds of rehabilitation treatment on stroke patients.The clinical researches have showed that the effect of multidisciplinary rehabilitation treatment is obviously better than simple treatment.So these therapeutic regimens have wonderful prospect and valuable generalization.

Objective:To assess capacity of cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment service in primary health care (PHC) in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.Methods:From September to December 2016, document acquisition and abstraction and in-person interviews were conducted on 327 PHC institutions and their medical staff from 43 districts/counties in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to comprehensively assess their infrastructure and services, human resources, health information system and drug availability related to cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment.Results:⑴ Infrastructure and services: 30.0% Community Health Center (CHC) and 100.0% Township healthcare center (THC) provided inpatient services, 20.5%, 98.1% village clinic (VC) could not provide blood glucose tests and lipid tests, respectively; ⑵ Human resources: in CHC, THC or CHS, 19.6% doctors' educational levels were below the requirement for a licensed assistant doctor, and in VC, 32.4% doctors' educational levels were below the requirement for village doctors. 56.3%CHC、THC and CHS, 99.5% VC could not provide government-funded " four insurances and one allowance" for non-registered staff, and 30.0% village doctors had exceeded 60 years old; ⑶ Health information system: 40.0% CHC, 41.7% THC, and 0 VC had electronic medical record (EMR), respectively; ⑷ Drug availability: 71.9% PHC institutions stored all four types of antihypertensive drugs [angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockors (ACEIs/ARBs), β-blockers, calcium channel blockers (CCBS), diuretics], and 2.1% did not have any.Conclusions:The capacity of cardiovascular disease diagnosis and treatment services in PHC institutions in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region are fair in general, but efforts should still be made to enhance the infrastructure construction, improve the remuneration packages of PHC doctors, promote the comprehensive ability of PHC doctors, optimize the layout of urban and rural health resources, strengthen the information construction, and improve the joint development of medical system in the three cities and provinces.

Objective: To assess the trend of statin application for in-hospital acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with its impact factors in eastern urban China from 2001 to 2011. Methods: A 2-stage random sampling design was performed to extract representative AMI sample patients. In the ifrst stage, a simple random-sampling was used to identify participating hospitals. In the second stage, a systematic sampling was conducted in 2001, 2006 and 2011 to select the cases from participating hospitals, to take medical records and clinical information for calculating the in-hospital statin application rate. The impact factors for statin application was assessed by multi Logistic regression model with generalized estimating equations. Results: A total of 5940 AMI records from 32 hospitals were enrolled. From 2001 to 2011, the in-hospital statin use rate increased from 46.0% in 2001 to 82.2% in 2006 and to 93.7% in 2011,P<0.001 for trend. Multi Logistic regression analysis indicated that the patients with LDL-C>3.37 mmol/L were more likely to receive statin therapy than those with LDL-C<1.81 mmol/L (OR=1.59, 95% CI 1.10-2.30,P=0.013); the patients with chest pain at admission (OR=1.82, 95% CI 1.14-2.91, P=0.012), combining hypertension (OR=1.44, 95% CI 1.02-2.03,P=0.038), with in-hospital PCI (OR=2.99, 95% CI 1.71-5.23, P<0.001) were also more likely to receive statin therapy. The application rate of statin was reduced by reduced LDL-C level accordingly and the patients without LDL-C examination, accounting for 21.3%, had the lowest statin application rate. Conclusion: Statin therapy for in-hospital AMI patients was dramatically increased from 2001 to 2011 in eastern urban China and the guideline was rapidly popularized in clinical practice. However, the improvement has been needed especially in patients without LDL-C examination or with low LDL-C levels; we emphasize that AMI patients should receive statin therapy regardless their LDL-C levels.

Objective: To assess the trends in clinical characteristics and treatments for in-hospital patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in western rural China from 2001 to 2011. Methods: A two-stage random sampling procedure was used in our study. In 1st stage, stratiifed random sampling was applied to identify the participating hospitals and in 2nd stage, random sampling was applied to determine the patients to be studied. Taking 2001, 2006 and 2011 as 3 time points to study the in-hospital records for STEMI treatments. The results in each year were analyzed by weighted calculation in order to adjust the proportional impact by different sampling and therefore, to relfect the entire condition in western rural area. Results: A total of 32/35 hospitals with 1028 STEMI records were enrolled. From 2001 to 2011, the admitted STEMI patients from 64 (54-70) years of age increased to 67 (56-75) years,Ptrend<0.05, while gender composition was similar, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking substantially increased. Among patients without contraindications, the ues of following medications increased from 2001 to 2011: aspirin from 73.6% to 89.9%, clopidogrel from 0% to 66.5%, β-blockers from 25.4% to 64.3% and statins from 7.5% to 89.8%, allPtrend<0.01. From 2001 to 2011, the rates of primary PCI application were from 0% to 0.3%,Ptrend=0.51, the rates of thrombolytic therapy increased from 33.4% to 55.4%,Ptrend<0.01. At the year of 2001, 2006 and 2011, the reperfusion rates were 33.4%, 50.7% and 55.4%, Ptrend<0.01; the mortality within 7 days of admission were 3.0%, 10.1% and 6.7%, the rates of death or treatment withdrawal because of terminal status were 5.3%, 12.3% and 10.9%, there was no signiifcant trend in the above 2 rates after adjustments. Conclusion: The quality of medical care for STEMI was signiifcantly improved in western rural China from 2001 to 2011, while there are still gaps between western rural area and other regions.

Objective: To assess the trends of clinical characteristics, diagnostic and treatment conditions and outcomes for in-hospital patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in eastern rural China from 2001 to 2011.
Methods: Through a two-stage random sampling, a representative in-hospital STEMI patient group in eastern rural China of 2001, 2006 and 2011 were enrolled. In 1st step, a simple random-sampling procedure was conducted to identify the collaborating hospitals and in 2nd step, a systematic sampling procedure was performed to select representative patients from those admitted to each collaborating hospital for STEMI during the study period. Then we obtained patients’ clinical information from their medical records. Finally, we weighted the ifndings for each year to represent the overall situation.
Results: A total of 2820 STEMI medical records from 32 collaborating hospitals were enrolled. From 2001 to 2011, the median age of STEMI patients increased from 66 to 68 years, P<0.01, the percentage of female patients elevated from 31.4%to 35.8%, P<0.05. The ratios of cardiovascular risk factors were gradually increased. Among the patients without documented contraindications, application of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) increased from 0%to 27.5%, P<0.01, reperfusion increased from 49.7%to 58.8%, P<0.01. Administration of aspirin elevated form 80%to 87.8%, Clopidogrel from 0%to 72.6%, statins from 16.7%to 89.6%;administration ofβ-blockers within 24 h of admission elevated from 41.5%to 55.5%, P<0.05 and ACEI/ARB from 58.3%to 69%, P<0.01. In 2001, 2006 and 2011, the in-hospital mortality within 7 days were 6.8%, 8.3%and 5.7%respectively;mortality plus treatment withdrawal because of terminal status at discharge were 10.2%, 12.4%and 9.5%respectively. After adjustment, the above ratios did not change signiifcantly.
Conclusion: From 2001 to 2011, application of PCI grew from nothing and effective medication was improved for in-hospital STEMI patients in eastern rural China. However, there were still obvious gaps for diagnosis and treatment from the guideline requirement;the patient outcomes have not been improved.

Objective To investigate the MR features of pituitary abscess.Methods The MR features of 14 cases of pituitary abscess proved by surgical pathology and clinical treatments were analyzed retrospectively.Results Pre-contrast MR showed hypointense heterogeneous intensity on T_1 WI in 12 cases and iso-hyperintense on T_1 WI in 2 cases,hyperintense on T_2 WI in all cases.Post-gadolinium MR showed the ring-like enhancement around the uneven edge of abscess and the surrounding enhanced meninges connecting to the focus.The normal pituitary could not be identified in all 14 cases.The MR specific findings include the fluid-fluid level,nodule on the edge and the enhanced patchy shadow.Conclusions The pituitary abscess has specific findings on MR examination,which can be used to combine with clinical symptoms to achieve the diagnosis before operation,so that the cases could be treated with antibiotic without operation.

Objective: To make a study of density and affinity of IL-6R in human leukemic cell lines, and discuss the affection of high affinity IL-6R to the targeted treatment of leukemia with IL-6-PE40 fusion protein. Methods: Radial binding assay with scatchard plot and FACS were used to analysis the density and affinity of IL-6R and protein expression of IL-6Rα and β subunits in totally 8 representative human leukemic cell lines. Results: Myelocytie, monocytic and erythrocytic leukemic cell lines U937, HL-60, KG1 and TF1 express high affinity IL-6R, whose average density per cell is 2 502,2 874, 2 319 and 9 329 respectively, however no 125I-IL-6 binding was detected on chronic myelocytic leukemic cell line K562 and lymphoblastic leukemic cell lines such as Raji, CEM and HUT28. These results correlate with those of FACS highly. Conclusion:These observations suggest that acute nonlymphoblastic leukemic cells may be more suitable for targeted treatment with IL-6-PFA0 fusion protein.

By using a yeast two-hybrid system, a yeast two-hybrid bait vector was constructed and identified for screening of the HPV18 E6-interacting proteins, and its effects on the growth of yeast cells and the activation of reporter genes were investigated. Total mRNA extracted from Hela cells was reversely transcribed into cDNA. Fragment of HPV18 E6 cDNA was amplified using RT-PCR and directly ligated to the pGBKT7 vector. The recombinant plasmid was confirmed by restriction endonuclease analysis and DNA sequencing. The recombinant pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 plasmid and empty pGBKT7 vector were transformed into the yeast cell AH109, respectively. After they were cultured respectively in YPDA liquid medium and nutrition-deficient culture medium, their toxicity and transcriptional activation were tested by both the phenotype assay and the color assay. The bait plasmid HPV18 E6 was successfully obtained. After being cultured in YPDA liquid medium for 16h, the A (600 nm) values of two yeast fluids were 0.98+/-0.03 and 0.99+/-0.02, respectively. The recombinant pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 plasmid and empty pGBKT7 vector could grow to white colonies on SD/-Trp/X-alpha-gal plates, while no colony could survive on SD/-His/-Trp/X-alpha-gal, SD/-Ade/-Trp/X-alpha-gal plates, indicating that the bait plasmid pGBKT7-HPV18 E6 was constructed successfully and expressed correctly, and could not activate the transcription of reporter gene alone. The yeast two-hybrid GAL4 system 3 can be utilized to find HPV18 E6 interacting proteins.
