Objective To clone fliH, fliⅠ, fliY and fliN genes that encoding flagellum-associated proteins of L. interrogans for construction of their prokaryotic expression systems, and to determine the loca- tions of Flirt, FliⅠ, FIiY and FIiN. Methods The fliH, fliⅠ, fliY andfliN genes were amplified by PCR and sequenced after T-A cloning. Prokaryotie expression systems of the target genes were constructed subsequently. Expression of target recombinant proteins were demonstrated by SDS-PAGE and BioRad Gel Image Analyzer, and Ni-NTA affinity chromatography was performed to extract the target expression prod- ucts. Rabbits were subcutaneously immunized with the four recombinant proteins respectively to obtain anti- sera. ELISA was performed to measure the titers of antisera and Western blot assay was used to determine the immunobinding abilities among the antisera and their antigens. Immunoelectron microscopy was selected to locate the position of FliH, FliⅠ, FliY and FIiN. Results Segments of fliH, fliⅠ, fliY andfliN genes with 924, 1365, 1065 and 318 bp in size were successfully obtained by PCR. Similarities of nucleotide and puta- tive amino acid sequences from the four genes were 100% compared with the reported sequences. The con- structed prokaryotic systems efficiently expressed rFliH, rFliⅠ, rFliY and rFliN with the outputs of approxi- mate 20% of the total bacterial proteins. The rabbits immunized by rFliH, rFliⅠ, rFliY or rFliN could pro- duce antibody. The antisera had the titers above 1:100 000, and could recognize the corresponding recombi- nant proteins and membrane proteins of L interrogans to display positive Western hybridization bands. Flirt, FliⅠ, FliY and FliN were found to distribute on the external surface of inner envelope, the internal surface of outer envelope or the interspaces between the two layers of L. interrogans envelope. Conclusion The pro- karyotic expression systems was successfully constructed in this study, which could efficiently express flagel-lum-associated proteins FliH, FliⅠ, FliY and FliN of L. interrogans. The antisera with high titers to recognize their protein antigens were also obtained. Flagellum-associated proteins Flirt, FliⅠ, FIiY and FIiN are the inner envelope proteins and/or outer envelope proteins of L. interrogans.

Objective With multi?center investigation, to assess the life quality of patients with maintained hemodialysis (MHD) in Liaoning Province and to explore the relationship among the mineral metabolism, the life quality of the patients with MHD, and the repeated hospitalization within the latest three years. Methods 1192 patients with hemodialysis (at least 3 months) from January to March in 2015 at ten blood purification centers in Liaoning Province were selected for the cross?————————sectional survey. The Kidney Health?related Quality of Life (HRQOL) version 1.3 was used to evaluate the MHD patients' life quality. The total length of hospitalization was divided into four groups: 0 days, 3 to 15 days, 16 to 30 days and above 30 days. Results When serum calcium value ranged from 2.1 to 2.5 mmol/L, kidney?disease component summary (KDCS), mental component summary (MCS), physical component summary (PCS) and SF?36+KDCS corresponded to a higher value (P<0.05). When serum phosphorus value ranged from 1.13 to 1.78 mmol/L, KDCS and SF?36+KDCS corresponded to a higher value (P<0.05). When the calcium phosphorus product value ranged from 40.68 to 49.94, MCS corresponded to a higher value (P<0.05). KDCS showed a linear correlation with age (P<0.001), dialysis age, serum calcium (less than or equal to 2.5 mmol/L) (P<0.05); PCS showed a linear correlation with age (P<0.001) and dialysis age (P<0.05); SF?36+KDCS showed a linear correlation with age (P<0.001), and serum calcium (less than or equal to 2.5 mmol/L) (P<0.05), while age and dialysis age were negatively correlated. The hospitalization days showed a linear correlation with age, dialysis age (P<0.001) and serum phosphorus, calcium phosphorus product value (P<0.05), while dialysis age and calcium phosphorus product value were negatively correlated. Among different groups of total hospitalization days in three years, age, hemodialysis age, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, calcium?phosphorus product value and quality of life values were all statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions The life quality of patients with MHD were correlated with serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium and phosphorus product value, iPTH, dialysis age and age, while age and dialysis age were of negative correlation. The total number of hospitalization days in 3 years was closely linearly correlated with age and dialysis age, significantly correlated with serum phosphorus, calcium and phosphorus product value, while dialysis age, calcium and phosphorus product value were in a negative correlation. The total number of hospitalization in 3 years was correlated with the patients' age, dialysis age, serum calcium, serum phosphorus, calcium and phosphorus product value and quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the characteristics of inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility in hearing-impaired children.Methods:From March to April 2023, a convenience sampling method was used to select 33 hearing-impaired children from a special education school in Meizhou City, Guangdong Province, and 35 normal-hearing children from two ordinary schools as participants. Inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility of the participants were assessed by the Flanker task and the dimensional change card sorting (DCCS) task. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 26.0 software, and independent sample t-test was used to compare the differences in reaction time and accuracy rate between two groups of participants. Results:There were no significant differences in the Flanker task reaction time ((558.39±123.65) ms vs (566.11±118.20) ms) and accuracy rate((0.93±0.10) vs (0.96±0.04))between hearing-impaired children and normal-hearing children ( t=-0.295, -1.645, both P>0.05). The hearing-impaired children had significantly longer reaction time ((1 019.60±131.08) ms)than the normal-hearing children ((857.85±129.19) ms) ( t=4.046, P=0.001) in the DCCS task, while there was no statistically significant difference in the accuracy rate between hearing-impaired children (0.62±0.16) and normal-hearing children (0.57±0.15) ( t=-1.602, P>0.05). Conclusion:There is no difference in inhibitory control ability between hearing-impaired children and normal-hearing children, but the hearing-impaired children have a lag in cognitive flexibility.
