Sepharose 6B was activated by epichlorohydrin in the strong base condition, and then reacted with solution of iminodiacetic sodium. The arms of IDA were conjuncted to the activated Sepharose 6B. Then the products were reacted with the solution of NiSO4. The arms of IDA were chelated with Ni2+,and the chelating resin―Ni2+-IDA could be prepared. The physicochemical indexes and performance in purifying protein of the expressing product were assayed with atomic absorption method and purifying aimed protein-human B lymphocyte stimulator(hBLyS) from the expressing products in E.coli. The results indicated that the performance of made gel is very good, and its price is less than 1/10 of that of commodity gel.

The antibacterial peptide CM4 having potent antifungal activity on inhibitiong the cell wall regeneration of Saccharomyces cerevisiae protoplasts.When the peptide increased,the ratio of the regenerated colonies drop obviously.To study the antifungal mechanism of the antibacterial peptide,fluorescence\|labeled peptide mixted with the protoplast of yeast,then confocal laser scanning microscopy were performed.The results indicated that the peptides interactted with the protoplast membrane and damaged the structure of the membrane,then the permeation of protoplast changed.Finally the protoplasts with the peptide failed to regenerate the cell walls leading to killing the cell.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimicrobial activity in vitro of cefoperazine/sulbactam for non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli and analyze its antimicrobial capacity in vitro in comparison with imipenem and other antimicrobial drugs.METHODS The 362 clinical strains of non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli were collected from Jun 1,2008 to Jun 1,2009.The drug resistance of the strains to 9 antibiotics was detected.RESULTS The primary non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Burkholderia cepacia in our hosipal.The resistant rates to cefoperazine/sulbactam were 29.2%,20.8%,25.0% and 27.3%,respectively.Cefoperazine/sulbactam was better than imipenem and meropenem and far better than piperacillin/tazobactam.CONCLUSIONS The resistant rate of non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli is very high,and it shows multi-drug resistance.The results show cefoperazine/sulbactams is useful for non-fermentative Gram-negative bacilli infection with multi-drug resistance.

Lentiviral vectors were powerful gene delivery tools for gene therapy. We developed a new lentiviral vector pBobi-MIL that constitutively expressed O6-methylguanine-DNAmethyltransferase (MGMT) and Luciferase, linked by the internal ribosomal entry site (IRES), to realize drug tolerance and real time monitoring in vivo. All results from RT-PCR, drug treating clones forming, immunofluorometric assay and chemiluminescence detection showed that cells infected by recombinant lentivirus L-MIL simultaneously expressed these two genes. This lays the foundation for the further research in gene therapy and can also help identify lentivirus titer.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlations between the medicinal parts, habitats, tissue, components, and medicinal properties (natures, tastes, and effects) of 100 aquatic Chinese medicinal plants, thus providing evidence for the relationship between image and analogy and laying a theoretical foundation for the clinical use and development of aquatic Chinese medicinal plant resources. MethodThe Aquatic Plants of China, Flora of China, and related literature were searched, and a total of 100 aquatic Chinese medicinal plants included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), Chinese Materia Medica, National Compilation of Chinese Herbal Medicines, Dictionary of Chinese Materia Medica, and local standards were screened out. The medicine-taxonomic status-life habit associations and nature-component-traditional Chinese medicine classification-pharmacological effect associations were analyzed respectively. ResultThe aquatic Chinese medicinal plants mostly had a cold nature, bitter, pungent, and sweet tastes, and tropism to the liver meridian. The whole plant or aerial part was mainly used for medicinal purposes, and these plants generally had well developed aerenchyma. These plants mainly contained flavonoids, alkaloids, and volatile oils and had the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, and promoting urination. ConclusionThere are correlations between the medicinal parts, habitats, tissue, components, medicinal properties, and effects of aquatic Chinese medicinal plants, which provide reference for the development and utilization of aquatic Chinese medicinal plant resources.

ObjectiveTo make statistics on the biological characteristics, medicinal parts, chemical components, and other aspects of thorny medicinal plants and systematically analyze the correlations between their natures, tastes, and meridian tropism, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical application and resource development of these plants. MethodThe Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition) and the processing standards of various provinces and cities and other related documents were reviewed, on the basis of which 46 species of thorny medicinal plants were selected. The natures, tastes, meridian tropism, medicinal parts, chemical components, pharmacological activities, and geographical distribution of these plants were summarized and analyzed in Excel 2013 and SPSS Statistics 26.0. ResultThe 46 species of thorny medicinal plants belonged to 25 families, 1 class, 1 phylum of 1 kingdom. In terms of the location of thorns, the frequency of these medicinal plants followed the trend of leaf thorns>peel thorns>branch thorns>fruit thorns. In terms of the nature, taste, and meridian tropism, the frequency of these plants was in the orders of warm>plain>cold>cool>hot, bitter>sweet>pungent>sour>salty, and liver>lung>spleen=large intestine>heart>kidney, respectively. In terms of the medicinal parts, the frequency followed the trend of roots and rhizomes>fruits>whole plants>flowers>leaves. The thorny medicinal plants were mainly distributed in north and southwest China. The thorny medicinal plants mainly contained flavonoids, alkaloids, and saponins and had the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, resolving stasis and eliminating carbuncle, moving Qi and relieving pain, and alleviating edema and expelling pus. Moreover, 24 of them had anti-tumor activity. ConclusionMost of the thorny medicinal plants belong to Compositae, Leguminosae, and Rosaceae, have leaf thorns, a warm nature, a bitter taste, tropism to the liver meridian, and roots as the medicinal part. These plants are mainly distributed in north China, with the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, resolving stasis and eliminating carbuncle. In summary, the thorn location, distribution, and medicinal parts of thorny medicinal plants are correlated with the natures, tastes, and meridian tropism. The findings provide clues for the development and utilization of these plants.
