Objective To investigate the application of computer radiography system in combination with high kV radiography technique to diagnose cardiac disease.Methods 30 patients with cardiac disease were taken chest photographs,which chest photographs by CR system and high kV radiography technique were compared with these by common high kV radiography.Results The good rate of air tube occupied is 98% in therapy group,but the rate is only 70% in common group.The discrepant comparison is significant differences.Conclusion It is more significant that CR system in combination with high kV radiography technique than common photograph to diagnose cardiac disease.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the probe melting curve analysis‐based PCR assay for the detection of three types of αT .Methods A total of 149 blood and prenatal archival DNA samples (6 of which were amniotic fluid samples)with three knownαT genes ,which included 63 carriers with Hb CS ,22 cases with Hb QS ,43 individuals with Hb WS and 1 double heter‐ozygote with Hb CS and Hb WS) as well as 20 samples with normalα‐globin gene sequence that had been confirmed by RBD com‐bined with DNA sequencing were selected to test the specificity of probe melting curve analysis by blind analysis .Results The probe melting curve analysis accurately detected 100 of the DNA samples previously characterized by S RBD combined with DNA sequencing .Conclusion Probe melting curve analysis‐based PCR assay for the detection ofαT is featured with rapidity and accuracy and can be applied to clinical and prenatal diagnosis .

Mutation (substitution, deletion, insertion, etc.) in nucleotide acid causes the maximal sequence lengths of exact match (MALE) between paralogous members from a duplicate event to become shorter during evolution. In this work, MALE changes between members of 26 gene families from four representative species (Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, Mus musculus and Homo sapiens) were investigated. Comparative study of paralogous' MALE and amino acid substitution rate (d(A)<0.5) indicated that a close relationship existed between them. The results suggested that MALE could be a sound evolutionary scale for the divergent time for paralogous genes during their early evolution. A reference table between MALE and divergent time for the four species was set up, which would be useful widely, for large-scale genome alignment and comparison. As an example, detection of large-scale duplication events of rice genome based on the table was illustrated.

Chlorogenic acid displays several important roles in the therapeutic properties of many herbs, such as antioxidant activity, antibacterial, antiviral, scavenging free radicals and exciting central nervous system. Only about one-third of chlorogenic acid was absorbed in its prototype, therefore, its gut metabolites play a more important role in the therapeutic properties of chlorogenic acid. It is necessary to consider not only the bioactivities of chlorogenic acid but also its gut metabolites. This review focuses on the potential activities and mechanisms of chlorogenic acid and its gut metabolites on central nervous system diseases.

Objective To construct and express the recombinant plasmid pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32 of Schistosoma japonicum(Sj) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Methods Total RNA was extracted from Sj adult worms by ultrasound-breaking, Sj26GST and Sj32 antigen gene was respectively amplified by RT-PCR from the total RNA; Sj26GST-Sj32 fusion gene obtained with gene splicing by overlap extension(SOEing) was cloned into prokaryotic expression plasmid pET28α and transformed into Escherichia coli BL2 (DE3) to construct pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32;BL21 (pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32) was induced with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranosid (IPTG), and the expressed products were analyzed and identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE)and Western blotting. Results The 1991 bp Sj26GST-Sj32 fusion gene was successfully amplified by gene SOEing and cloned into pET28α by restriction analysis and PCR identification, the recombinant plasmid pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32 was successfully constructed; the relative molecular mass of the expressed recombinant protein was approximately 69 × 103 by SDS-PAGE, and the amount of the expressed protein was 25% of the total bacterial proteins; the fusion protein could be recognized by sera from rabbits infected with Sj by Western blotting.Conclusions The recombinant plasmid pET28α-Sj26GST-Sj32 is successfully constructed and highly expressed in Escherichia coli in fused form with His-tag, and the expressed fusion protein shows specific antigenicity.
