Objective To construct expressing recombinant of recF and recO from Deinococcus radiodurans R1and express the target protein in E.coli BL21(DE)3.Methods recF and recO gene were amplified by PCR from genomic DNA of Deinococcus radiodurans R1 and inserted into expression plasmid vector pET30b(+) to construct pET30b(+)-recF and pET30b(+)-recO.The recombinant plasmids were transformed into E.coli BL21(DE)3 and the recombinant proteins were expressed by the isopropyl-?-D-thiogalactopyranoside(IPTG) and were analyzed with SDS-PAGE.The changes in the survival rate of bacteria in each group before-and after UV-irradiation were calculated.Results The recombinant plasmid pET30b(+)-recO and pET30b(+)-recF was obtained and the recombinant protein could be highly expressed in E.coli BL21(DE)3.Conclusion This study has provided a foundation for further studies and applications of the recombinant RecF and RecO,and initial detection shows that recO and recF gene can increase the resistant ability of E.coli.

Objective To explore the role of Hippo pathway in the pathogenesis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD),and find potential targets for drug therapy.Methods By means of immunofluorescence staining,Western blotting,Real-time PCR,the differences of sublocalization,expression and phosphorylation level about Hippo pathway molecules in Han:SPRD (cy/+) and ADPKD patients compared with the control were observed.Knockdown Yes kinaseassociated protein (YAP),transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif (TAZ) and large tumor suppressor kinase1 (LATS1) in cystic lining epithelium cell line WT9-12 were took by siRNA interference,and then their effects on cell proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle were assessed.Results In cystic lining epithelium of Han:SPRD(cy/+),decreased expression of LATS1 and increased expression of YAP were found compared with the control,and the immunofluorescence of YAP was distributed both in cytoplasm and nucleus,while distribution and expression level of TAZ were without significant variance.Abnormal mRNA expressions of Hippo pathway components in ADPKD patients were found (P < 0.05).Down-regulation of LATS1 in WT9-12 cells could prohibit phosphorylation of YAP,and prompted proliferation and cell division.Knockdown YAP in WT9-12 cells could inhibited cell proliferation by arresting cell cycle in G0/G1 phase,but down-regulating TAZ showed no significant differences in proliferation and cell cycle.Conclusions Altered Hippo signaling exists in ADPKD,and YAP activation may be one leading cause of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease onset.In vitro,knockdown YAP in WT9-12 cells can inhibit cell proliferation by arresting cell cycle and depressing cell division,suggesting the expression level and activity of YAP are potential targets for ADPKD treatment.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between coping modes and depression in stroke patients accepting rehabilitation initially. Methods30 stroke patients were assessed with Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire (MCMQ) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS). ResultsThe score of resignation in MCMQ was significantly higher in depression group than in non-depression group (P<0.01). There was correlation between scores of resignation and SDS (r=0.416, P=0.003). ConclusionDepression may relate with resignation in stroke patients admitted in the hospital for rehabilitation initially.

Iliac arteriovenous ifstula (AVF) usually manifests in a wide range of symptoms similar to typical deep venous thrombosis (DVT), which often lead to delayed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. We reported a 51-year old woman who was performed lumbar discectomy and showed a progressive abdominal distention, dyspnea, and swollen left leg. She was initially diagnosed as deep vein thrombosis and the ifnal diagnosis was arteriovenous ifstula. hTe ifstula was successfully sealed by an endovascular covered stent. No further recurrence was found atfer a half year’s follow-up. hTis article summarized the experience regarding iliac arteriovenous ifstula misdiagnosed, and discussed the differential diagnosis between arteriovenous ifstula and pulmonary thromboembolism causedby deep vein thrombosis.

Objective: To investigate the effect and safety of interleukin-2 combined with cisplatin in the treatment of malignant pleural effusion.Methods: Totally 86 patients with malignant pleural effusion were randomly divided into the observation group (44 cases) and the control group (42 cases).The control group was treated with cisplatin, and the observation group was treated with interleukin-2 additionally.The treatment course was 3 weeks.The ascites relief, quality of life, survival status and tumor markers before and after the treatment, and the adverse drug reactions were compared between the groups.Results: The total ascites remission rate and the effective rate in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).Compared with those before the treatment, CEA, CA19-9 and CA450 decreased significantly after the treatment in both groups (P<0.05), those in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05).After the treatment, the physiological function, physiological occupation, emotional function, body pain and the other life quality scores in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).The 24-month survival rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05).There were no significant differences in adverse drug reactions between the groups (P>0.05).Conclusion: Interleukin-2 combined with cisplatin can effectively relieve ascites and improve quality of life, which can also prolong the survival time of patients.
