Objective To develop a questionnaire to measure the patients related knowledge,attitude,and practice about their hospitalization virtue behaviors and test its reliability and validity.Methods Using KAP theory as a conceptual framework,and using experts consultation and investigating medical staff as a tool to develop items of the scale.The reliability and validity of the questionnaire was tested in 200 patients.Results The questionnaire consisted of three dimensions and thirteen items,and three factors were extracted by principal components analysis,which contributed to 58.211% of the variance.The Cronbach's α was 0.822 for the total questionnaire,and the content validity index was 0.923.Conclusions The questionnaire shows acceptable reliability and validity,and can be applied to related clinical investigation.

Lysozyme hydrolyses bacterial cell walls and acts as a nonspecific innate immunity molecule against the invasion of bacterial pathogens. We cloned the cDNA of lysozyme from Fenneropenaeus chinensis and named Fc-lysozyme (FcLyz in short). The full length of the gene was of 709 bp, and the open reading frame (477 bp) encoded 158 amino acids. The predicted protein had a signal peptide (-1--18 residue) and molecular weight of the mature protein (residue 1-140) was of 16.2 kD. A Lyz 1 domain (residue 1-130) in the lysozyme was found by SMART analysis. The results of semiquantity RT-PCR showed that FcLyz was constitutively expressed in tested tissues in a low level in normal shrimp, and up-regulated in hemocytes, heart, hepatopancreas and gill of bacterial challenged shrimp. The DNA fragment of mature Fc-Lys was subcloned to pET-30a (+) expression vector, the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and then induced by isopropylthio-beta-D-galactoside (IPTG). The antibacterial activity of the purified recombinant FcLys was analyzed and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was assayed. The recombinant protein showed high antibacterial activity against some Gram-positive bacteria, and MIC reached 3.43 micromol/L, and relatively low activity against Gram-negative bacteria. All together, the Fc-Lys was regulated by pathogen infection and had antibacterial activity. This suggested that the FcLyz may be one of the important molecules against pathogens in innate immunity of the shrimp.

Objective:
To explore the effects of cigarette smoke exposure during pregnancy on the quality of oocytes and the whole genome DNA methylation in the offspring of female mice during the period of germinal vesicle (GV) .
Methods:
The pregnant 7 d mice were divided into 3 groups, exposure on the 0, 0.5, 1 lit cigarettes cabinet (volume 18 L) , at 9 am and 3 pm for 1 h twice daily, until delivery. When the mice were 6 weeks old, the organ index and the number of follicles in the ovary were detected by weighing and making HE stained sections. GV stage oocytes were obtained by Hoechst 33342 staining and indirect immunofluorescence to detect the quality of oocytes, chromatin configuration and whole genome DNA methylation level.
Results:
Compared with the control group and low dose group, the offspring ovarian organ index of female mice in the high dose group decreased, the difference was statistically significant (
