Human hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) binding protein(SBP) shows a specific binding ability to HBV surface antigen HBsAg. Previous work proved an ability of SBP to enhance the immune response of HBsAg vaccine. To investigate the function and mechanism of this protein, we constructed SBP-expression strains with Pichia pastoris expression system. We screened these strains and have got an expression strain with high protein expression quantity. Fermentation product was collected and purified to gain a large amount of purified protein. Identification of purified SBP with SDS-PAGE, High performance liquid chromatography, Western blotting and mass spectrometry suggested that the protein was highly purified and with a good integrity. ELISA test of purified SBP showed a significant binding ability to HBsAg, suggesting a good protein activity. This work offers a solid foundation to the research of SBP function and mechanism of immune enhancement.

Objective To investigate the expression change of RACK1 ,Src and Bcl‐2 in gastric carcinoma tissue and adjacent carcinomatous tissue .Methods Eighty specimens of gastric carcinoma and adjacent carcinomatous tissues in our hospital from Au‐gust 1 ,2011 to February 1 ,2014 were collected .The immunohistochemistry staining and Western blotting methods were adopted to detect the expression of RACK1 ,Src and Bcl‐2 protein in gastric carcinoma and adjacent carcinomatous tissues ,and their correlation was analyzed and performed the statistical analysis by combining with the clinicopathological data .Results The immunohistochem‐istry staining and Western blotting detection displayed that the expression positive rate and expression level of RACK 1 in gastric carcinoma tissue were obviously lower than those in the adjacent carcinomatous tissue ,while the expression positive rate and ex‐pression level of Src and Bcl‐2 in gastric carcinoma tissue were obviously higher than those in the adjacent carcinomatous tissue ,the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .The RACK1 expression in gastric carcinoma tissue was negatively correlated with the Src and Bcl‐2 expression(r= -0 .632 ,-0 .754 ,P<0 .01) ,while Src had no obvious correlation with Bcl‐2 protein(r=0 .217 ,P>0 .05) .Conclusion The expression of RACK1 in gastric carcinoma tissue is significantly decreased ,while the expres‐sions of Src and Bcl‐2 are increased .

Objective:To understand the current situation of medical humanistic quality of standardized trainees for hospitalizations in Chongqing, and put forward the corresponding educational countermeasures and suggestions. Methods: According to the method of convenient sampling, 5 resident doctors standardized training base were selected with half a random, then 110 trainees were randomly selected to conduct a cognition investigation about the medical humanistic quality. EpiData 3. 0 was adopted for double entry data and SPSS22. 0 software was used for analyzing data. Results:There were 98. 06％ of standardized trainees for hospitalizations paid more attention to medical humanistic quality. In the selection of medical humanistic quality courses, 81. 55％ of the trainees chose The Doctor-patient Relationship, 77. 67％ of the trainees chose The Medical Psychology. In the evaluation of the importance of medical humanistic quality to the clinical work, 96. 12％ of the standardized trainees for hospitalizations believed that it was important. Conclusion: In order to improve the medical humanistic quality of the standardized trainees for hospitalizations, all aspects should be taken seriously:it should make efforts from the trai-nees' self-awareness, the teaching teachers' attention to the medical humanistic quality and the medical humanis-tic quality environment provided by the training base.

OBJECTIVE: The large sample retrospective cohort study were used to compare the diagnostic efficiency of PET/CT with conventional work-up (CWU) for evaluating nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) distant metastasis. METHOD: Five hundred and fourteen patients with NPC were divided into PET/CT group and CWU group according the method of detecting distant metastasis. Chest film, abdominal ultrasonography, and bone scan were used in CWU group. Then the diagnostic efficiency of the two groups was compared. RESULT: Two hundred and sixteen patints were enrolled in PET/CT group and two hundred and nineteen-eight ones in CWU group. There were 28 out of 412 suspicious patients in CWU group were confirmed, another 3 patients confirmed without positive findings, compared with PET/CT group that all 32 suspicious patients were confirmed. The sensitivity and specificity of PET/CT were 100.0% (32/32) and 100.0% (184/184), as compared to 90.3% (28/31) and 94.8% (253/267) with CWU respectively, while there was no statistical significance. Further research found out that the percentage of patients with multiple distant metastatic sites and multiple organ metastases was higher in PET/CT group (P < 0.05), and similarly of patients with distant metastasis in N2-3 stages (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION Our results suggest that PET/CT appears to be slightly superior to conventional work-up in assessment of distant metastasis in NPC patients, but CWU is still a cheap and practical method.

The Chinese space station will be built around 2020. As a national space laboratory, it will offer unique opportunities for studying the physiological effects of weightlessness and the efficacy of the countermeasures against such effects. In this paper, we described the development of countermeasure systems in the Chinese space program. To emphasize the need of the Chinese space program to implement its own program for developing countermeasures, we reviewed the literature on the negative physiological effects of weightlessness, the challenges of completing missions, the development of countermeasure devices, the establishment of countermeasure programs, and the efficacy of the countermeasure techniques in American and Russian manned spaceflights. In addition, a brief overview was provided on the Chinese research and development on countermeasures to discuss the current status and goals of the development of countermeasures against physiological problems associated with weightlessness.
