AIM: To analyze the nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences of PIA genes isolated from N. gonorrhoeae and to construct the prokaryotic expression system of PIA gene.METHODS: The entire PIA genes from 9 strains of N. gonorrhoeae were amplified by using high fidelity PCR. The target amplification fragments were sequenced after T-A cloning. Homology comparison of the nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences of PIA genes from the isolates with the reported sequences in GenBank was then performed. A prokaryotic expression system of PIA gene was constructed. Different dosages of IPTG were applied to induce the expression of the target recombinant protein (rPIA) and 10% SDS-PAGE plus Bio-Rad Agarose Image Analysor was used to determine the expression level of rPIA. rPIA was extracted using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography and the purified effect was detected by SDS-PAGE.RESULTS: In comparison with the reported PIA gene sequences (GenBank No: L19962), the homologies of nucleotide and putative amino acid sequences of PIA genes from the isolates were 99.6%-100% and 99.1%-100%, respectively, which indicated that all the isolates were belonging to serovars IA6. Output of rPIA was as high as 50.1% of the total bacterial proteins. The purified rPIA only showed a single target protein fragment in gel.CONCLUSION: Serovar IA6 is dominant in the local N. gonorrhoeae isolates and sequences of the encoding gene are relatively conserved. The constructed prokaryotic expression system is able to express rPIA with high efficiency, which may lay a foundation for further development of serological detection kit and vaccine of N. gonorrhoeae.

OBJECTIVETo compare the difference in depression relief in the treatment of depressive disorder at the acute stage between the combined therapy of acupuncture and 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) selective serotonini reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the single application of SSRIs and explore the impact on the imbalance of 5-HT and TH1/TH2.

METHODSNinety cases of depressive disorder at the acute stage were randomized into a combined therapy group and a medication group, 45 cases in each one. In the medication group, SSRIs were prescribed forl oral administration, once or twice a day, continuously for 4 weeks. In the combined therapy group, on the basis of treatment as the medication group, acupuncture was combined. The main acupoints were Baihui (GV 20), Yintang (GV 29), Shenting (GV 24), Fengchi (GB 20), Dazhui (GV 14) and Sishencong (EX-HN 1), once every two. days, continuously for 4 weeks. Before treatment, and after the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment, the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) was used to evaluate the depression severity. Separately, before and after the 4 weeks of treatment, the levels of serum 5-HT, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were determined and compared with those in 45 cases of the healthy group.

RESULTSHAMD score was reduced in the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment as compared with that before treatment in the combined therapy group (all P<0 01). HAMD score was reduced in the 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment as compared with that before treatment in the medication group (all P<0. 01). HAMD scores in the combined therapy group were lower than those in the medication group in the 1st, 2nd and 4th weeks of treatment (all P< 0. 01). Before treatment, in the combined therapy group and the medication group, the levels of serum 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 were all lower than those in the healthy group (all P<0. 01); the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were higher than those in the healthy group (all P<0. 01). In the combined therapy group and the medication group, the levels of 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 in 4 weeks of treatment were all increased as compared with those before treatment (all P<0. 01), and the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 were lower than those before treatment (all P<0. 01). In the combined therapy group, the levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in 4 weeks of treatment were lower than those in the medication group, and the levels of 5-HT, IL-4 and IL-10 were higher than those in the medication group (P<0. 01, P< 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONThe combined therapy of acupuncture and SSRIs achieves much quicker and more effective re-' sult for relieving depression in the patients of depressive disorder as compared with simple oral administration of' SSRIs, and much more contributes to adjust the imbalance of serum 5-HT and TH1/TH2.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Xiaozhen zhiyang spray in the treatment of EGFRI-asso-ciated rash. METHODS:A total of 60 malignant tumor patients suffering from rash induced by EGFRI were divided into trial group (40 cases)and control group(20 cases)according to the patient's willingness. Control group didn't received any therapy for rash. Trial group received Xiaozhen zhiyang spray for several times a day according to the degree of rash as 1-2 times/d for first degree, 2-3 times/d for second degree,3-5 times/d for third degree,and the treatment course lasted for 2 weeks. Rash degree and improve-ment,itching degree and improvement,daily life quality index(DLQI)score before and after treatment as well as the occurrence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:before treatment,there was no statistical significance in rash and itching de-gree,or DLQI score between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,rash and itching degree of trial group were improved significant-ly compared to before treatment and control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The total response rates of rash and itch-ing therapy in trial group were significantly higher than control group(67.50% vs. 20.00%,70.00% vs. 15.00%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). DLQI score of trial group was significantly lower than before treatment and control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in DLQI score of control group before and after treatment(P>0.05). No obvious ADR was found in trial group. CONCLUSIONS:Xiaozhen zhiyang spray can effectively relieve EGFRI-associated rash and itching as well as improve the quality of life for patients.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of siHybrids technique on inhibiring the efflux pump gene mexB of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in vitro. MethodsTargeting the efflux pump gene mexB of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 ,we designed and synthesized three siHybrids molecule and one negative scamble siHybrids molecule. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 were intervened by the siHybrids molecules in 50 nmol/L, respectively. And the experiments were made of control groups[blank and scamble (sc) -001]and intervened groups[siHybrids( si ) -001, siHybrids( si ) -002 and siHybrids(si) -003]of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. The targeting efflux pump gene mexB mRNA expressions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1, including all groups, were measured by real-time PCR in 12 h and 24 h after interference in vitro. Further, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of chlormycetinCP, erythrocin( EM ), levofloxacin ( L-OFLX), ceftazidime ( CAZ), meropenem (MER) to those groups were detected by using Mueller-Hinton broth dilution before and after interference. ResultsThe relative mexB mRNA amounts of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 intervened by different siHybrids were not much more different from each other after 12 h,but the expression of mexB mRNA of the intervened group ( si-001 ,si-002 ,si-003 ) was much lower than control groups after interference for 24 h. The relative mexB mRNA amounts, comparing 12 h with 24 h, we would find the blank control and negative control submit escalating trend. And the intervened control ,three different siHybrids were all with a downward tendency. However, in presence of 50 nmol/L siHybrids, the minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of CP, EM, L-OFLX, CAZ, MER to those controls were not much more different before and after interference. Conclusion On level of the mRNA expressions, siHybrids could inhibit the efflux pump gene mexB of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 in vitro, and within 24 h would be able to function effectively. Further, the effect was time-dependent.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the aciduric bacteria in different stages of the fissure caries in order to determine potential roles of the microflora in the development of dental caries.

METHODSPlaque samples were taken from 10 incipient carious fissures of the first permanent molars. Plaque samples were also collected from sound fissures of the first permanent molars in 10 other subjects who kept caries free over the past 2 years and from the above 10 subjects. The predominant bacteria were isolated by using both the most probable method in media at pH7.0 and 5.2, and the conventional plating methods. Streptococcus spp. was identified by means of API 20 Strep commercial kit.

RESULTSS. mutans was the predominant aciduric bacteria infissures of caries-free children and more frequently recovered at neutral pH. Whilst, S. sanguis was predominant at pH5.2 in sound and carious of fissures of caries-active children. The proportion of Gram-positive rods at pH5.2 was 82%, significantly greater than that of 61% at pH7.0.

CONCLUSIONThe ecology of plaque is complex and the composition of microflora at each stage of caries could be different. The composition of bacteria was consistent with the changes of local pH in the plaque.
