This study aims to investigate the function of two SNPs (rs8904C > T and rs696G >A) in 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of NFKBIA gene by constructing luciferase reporter gene. A patient's genomic DNA with rs8904 CC and rs696 GA genotype was used as the PCR template. Full-length 3'UTR of NFKBIA gene was amplified by different primers. After sequencing validation, these fragments were inserted to the luciferase reporter vector, pGL3-promoter to construct recombinant plasmids containing four kinds of haplotypes, pGL3-rs8904C/rs696G, pGL3-rs8904C/rs696A, pGL3-rs8904T/rs696G and pGL3-rs8904T/rs696A. Then these plasmids were transfected into LS174T cells and the luciferase activity was detected. Compared with pGL3-vector transfected cells (negative control), the luciferase activity of the four kinds of recombinant plasmids was significantly decreased (P < 0.001). For rs696G > A, the luciferase activity of the recombinant plasmids containing A allele (pGL3-rs8904C/rs696A and pGL3-rs8904T/rs696A) was about 45.1% (P < 0.05) and 56.1% (P < 0.001) lower than those containing G allele (pGL3-rs8904C/rs696G and pGL3-rs8904T/rs696G), respectively. For rs8904C > T, there were no significant differences in the luciferase activity between the recombinant plasmids containing T allele and those with C allele. Together, the luciferase reporter gene vectors containing SNPs in NFKBIA gene 3'UTR were constructed successfully and rs696G > A could decrease the luciferase activity while rs8904C >T didn't have much effect on the luciferase activity.

Objective To investigate the structure of Tn1546 like elements,the molecular features and genetic background of VanB phenotype-vanA genotype VREs and to explain the difference between phenotype and genotype. Methods Twenty-one VREs were collected in Beijing Hospital from March 2008 to January 2009. Etest was used to determin MICs of ten antibiotics. PCR product sequencing, PFGE and MLST were performed to study the molecular features and genetic background of the 21 VREs. Results All VREs were vanA genotype, but 3 of them( 14. 3% ) exhibited the VanB phenotype. Based on PFGE analysis, 21 VREs belonged to 9 different patterns. Six STs were identified by MLST analysis. The analysis of the structure of Tn1546 like elements showed the deletion of vanY, vanZ and the insertion of ISEfa4 in orf2-vanR intergenic region may be related to the formation of VanB phenotype-wanA genotype. Conclutions VanB phenotype-vanA genotype VREs were rarely found in China. The results of vanA cluster rearrangements could partly explain the causes of difference between phenotype and genotype.

Objective:To investigate the effects of structured group psychotherapy on symptoms and social function of patients with mild to moderate depression.Methods:Sixty patients with mild to moderate depression who received treatment in Department of Psychiatry of the Third People's Hospital of Yongkang from June 2019 to May 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either conventional antidepressants ( n = 30, control group) or conventional antidepressants combined with structured group psychotherapy ( n = 30, observation group). The Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale and the Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire were used to compare the anxiety state, depression state and coping style between the two groups. Results:Self-rating Anxiety Scale, Self-rating Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire scores in the observation group were (44.21 ± 4.15) points, (45.28 ± 5.16) points, (12.41 ± 2.16) points, (9.75 ± 2.83) points, and (10.35 ± 2.23) points, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(51.14 ± 4.39) points, (53.64 ± 5.31) points, (16.73 ± 2.54) points, (14.18 ± 2.72) points, (14.73 ± 2.54) points, t = 6.283, 6.184, 7.097, 6.182, 7.375, all P < 0.001]. Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire score in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group [(31.42 ± 4.43) points vs. (24.16 ± 4.27) points, t = 7.432, P < 0.001]. Conclusion:Structured group psychotherapy combined with conventional antidepressant therapy for treatment of mild to moderate depression can greatly reduce the symptoms of anxiety and depression and improve the coping style.
