Aim: To explore the relationship between structure and immunological activity of marine polysaccha-ride YCP,the physicochemical property and immunological activity of the YCP-derived fragment were studied.Methods: YCP was hydrolyzed by α-amylase from human saliva.The hydrolysate was purified to obtain an polysaccharide fragment by gel filtration chromatography.The physicochemical properties of this YCP-derived fragment was characterized by HPLC,FT-IR and TLC.In addition,changes of phagocytic activity,production of reactive nitrogen and macrophage binding were investigated.Results: The relative molecular weight of YCP-de-rived fragment was approximately 6.6 × 10~3.The monosaccharide composition and FT-IR of the YCP-derived frag-ment were identical to YCP.No significant effect of the YCP-derived fragment on NO production and murine mac-rophage phagocyte were observed.And this fragment was not able to compete the binding between YCP and mac-rophages.Conclusion: The remarkable decrease of immunological activity of YCP-derived fragments degraded byα-amylase of human saliva suggests that the complete structure and high molecule weight of YCP are essential for its immuno-modulatory activity.

A series of new pleuromutilins derivatives were designed and synthesized through coupling 2-aminothiazole ring of WL001 with different nitrogen-containing substituted heterocycles in the side chain. Their biological activities were evaluated against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative clinical bacteria in vitro Most new compounds displayed specificity to certain strain of bacteria. Particularly, compounds with saturated nitrogen-containing heterocycles exhibited significant antibacterial activities (0.062 5-8 µg · mL(-1)) superior or similar to those of amoxicillin, tiamulin and levofloxcin. Furthermore, treatment with 15a and 15b having piperidine or morpholine residues also could effectively inhibit Gram-negative bacteria. Therefore, our novel findings may provide a new insight into the design of novel pleuromutilin derivatives and lay the basis for further studies on the treatment of drug-resistance of pathogenic bacteria.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of SerpinB2 and SerpinB4 genes in cells from the nasal brushings in allergic rhinitis(AR) patients, and their relationships with eosinophil numbers in nasal brushings, serum total IgE level and severity of AR. METHODS Twenty nine control subjects and 59 AR patients[29 specific IgE positive AR(sIgE-P-AR) patients, 30 specific IgE negative self reported AR(sIgE-N-SR-AR) patients] were recruited. The samples of nasal brushings and peripheral blood were collected to detect SerpinB2 and SerpinB4 gene expression and eosinophil numbers in nasal brushings, and total IgE and allergen-specific IgE level in peripheral blood. RESULTS Expression of SerpinB2 and SerpinB4 genes in cells from nasal brushings were significantly higher in sIgE-P-AR [5.17(2.33-18.96), 0.6(0.355-1.08), respectively] and sIgE-N-SR-AR [3.27(1.59-13.4), 0.75(0.42-1.64), respectively] than that in control subjects[1.21(0.1-3.285), 0.29(0.165-0.505)] (sIgE-P-AR:P=0.013; sIgE-N-SR-AR:P=0.002). Expression level of SerpinB2 and SerpinB4 had no relationships with eosinophil numbers in nasal brushings and serum total IgE level. Expression of SerpinB2 in moderate/severe AR[4.74(2.68-47.5)] was significantly higher than that in mild AR[(1.333-5.603)](P=0.025); while expression of SerpinB4 in mild AR[3.95(2.6-7.59)] was significantly higher than that in moderate/ severe AR[2.83(0.715-5)](P=0.042). CONCLUSION SerpinB2 and SerpinB4 genes might be involved in the pathogenesis of AR, and their diagnostic values in AR deserve to be evaluated with larger samples.

Objective:To prepare and identify the mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies ( mAbs) using leukocytes as im-munogens. Methods: The mice were immunized using human peripheral blood leukocytes. Then, use of B lymphocyte hybridoma technology preparation of mAbs,followed screening by immunocytochemistry and limited dilution. The secreted mAbs were identified by immunoprecipitation,mass spectrometry,Western blot,ELISA and immunohistochemistry. Results:The 35 positive polyclonal cells were obtained,of which 11 strains secreted mAbs against S100A9. And one strain was used to prepare monoclonal antibody. The purified mAb against S100A9 were purified and identified as IgG1 subtype,with the titer,purity and affinity constant was 1∶3. 18×105,95% and 3. 54×108 L/mol,respectively. This mAb generally had 0. 12% crossed reactivity to S100A8 ,and showed little or no cross reactivity to S100A12 and S100A13. The prepared monoclonal antibodies can specifically recognizes the S100A9 antigen in human breast cancer tissues. Conclusion:Successful preparation of mAb against S100A9,which can secrete specific mAb against S100A9 protein with high titers and specificity have been established successfully,which laid the foundation for the immunology application.

Objective:To investigate the status and influencing factors of quality of nursing work life in a class Ⅲ hospital in Jinan.Methods:From 1st december 2018 to 31th March 2019, 658 nurses were selected from a class Ⅲ hospital in Jinan of Shandong province by convenience sampling method. 700 questionnaires were gived out and recoveried, with 658 effective questionaires and the effective recovery rate was 94.0%. The data of nursing work life quality, type of workplace violence, frequency of workplace violence and general social demographic were collected.Results:The mean total score of the quality of nursing work life was (174.61±27.61) . The lowest subscale is work life-home life (61.9%) . There were no statistical difference in the total scores of nurses with different ages and working years ( P> 0.05) , while the frequency of night shift, and working hours per day had significant impact on the quality of nursing work life ( P< 0.05) . The total score of nurses who were not suffered from workplace violence was much higher than the nurses who were suffered from language violence or physical assault ( P<0.05) , the higher the frequency of the violence, the score of the quality of nursing work life was lower ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The quality of nursing work life of nureses who suffer from workplace violence is in a bad situation, nursing managers should give different intervention measures according to the personal characteristics of nurses to improve the quality of nursing work life.

OBJECTIVETo delineate the mutation spectrum of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene among patients affected with phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (PAHD) in Henan Province of China, and to explore the correlation between the genotype and the phenotype.
METHODSA total of 155 affected children were recruited. Potential mutation of the PAH gene were analyzed by direct sequencing. The genotype-phenotype correlation was analyzed by matching the expected and observed phenotypes.
RESULTSOver 72 mutations and 108 genotypes have been identified. There were 7 homozygous mutations, including 1 case with EX6-96A>G/EX6-96A>G, 1 with R241C/R241C, 1 with R413P/R413P, and 4 with R243Q/R243Q. Among these, 6 patients have presented classic PKU phenotypes, except for a R241C/R241C genotype which has led to mild PKU. In 104 patients carrying compound PAH mutations, 52 were classic, 34 were mild and 39 had mild HPA. Patients who were heterozygous for EX6-96A>G/R241C, R243Q/A434D, EX6-96A>G/R413P and EX6-96A>G/ R241C were found with both the classic PKU and mild PKU phenotypes. Common mutations associated with mild HPA have included R53H, R243Q, V399V and H107R. The common mutations associated with mild PKU included R243Q, R241C, EX6-96A>G, and IVS4-1G>A. The prevalent mutations in classic PKU were R243Q, EX6-96A>G and V399V. The consistency between prediction of the biochemical genotype and observed phenotype was 77.78%, especially in classic PKU, the consistency was up to 82.14%. Significant correlations were disclosed between pretreatment levels of phenylalanine and AV sum (r=-0.6729, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe mutation spectrum of PAH gene in Henan seems to differ from that of other regions. Independent assortment of mutant alleles may result in a complex genotype-phenotype correlation, but the genotypes of PAHD patients have correlated with the phenotype.
