Biocontrol bacteria 308R(pKSH) with hrpN of Erwinia amyloyora. It can secrete the Harpin protein which can induce plant resistance. After successive growth in antibiotic-free LB medium for 50 generations, only 23.1% of the cell still retained the plasmid pKSH, in comparison with 4.75% of the cosmid pCPP430. Sprayed onto the leaves of tomato, the recombinant strain maintained a population density of over 10~ 5 cfu/cm~ 2 when kept under high humidity in thirteen days, but if without humidity, the strain keep 10~ 4 cfu/cm~ 2 over in five days. On the tomato leaves, the stability of the recombinant strain 308R(pKSH) was higher than the strain 308R(pCPP430). The experiment indicated that the recombinant strain 308R(pKSH) had higher stability compared with the strain 308R(pCPP430), but that was not enough. In this paper reasons for unstability and strategies for improving were discussed for the recombinant strain.

A total of 104 marine bacterial strains were isolated from Stelletta tennui around Sanya area of South China Sea by dilution-plate method and were screened for anti-microbial activity on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureu, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger, Candida albicans and Pacecilomyces variotii by agar diffusion, paper disc diffusion assay and cell concentration counts methods. It was found that 23 strains, which are 22.2% of the total isolated strains, have anti-microbial activities. Among the 23 strains, A05, A08, A72 and A75 were morphologically, physiologically and biochemically characterized and identified to be the genus Bacillus. At the same time, it was proved that there are positive and negative synergistic effects between or among active strains, e.g., as for A72-75 combination, an obvious enhanced anti-microbial activities on inhibiting Candida albicans and Pseudomomas fluorescens growth was observed than A72 or A75.

Objective To investigate the effect of poly (ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) expression inhibited by 5-AIQ on the liver metastasis in colorectal carcinoma CT26 cell lines. Methods Liver metastasis model of colorectal carcinoma was established by intrasplenic inoculation of colorectal carcinoma CT26 cell in BALB/c mice. Treated by 5-AIQ (100 or 500 ?mol/L),CT26 cells were inoculated to the spleen of the mice,or the rats were first inoculated of CT26 cells,then treated by 5-AIQ (3 or 10 mg/kg) ip. The changes spleen primary carcinoma and liver metastasis carcinoma were observed. The PARP expression in spleen primary carcinoma was detected by Western blotting. Results Significant difference was found in the splenic carcinoma size,the number of liver metastatic nodules,the grading of liver metastatic nodules in the 5-AIQ treated group and control group(P0.05). The PARP expression of spleen primary carcinoma in 5-AIQ treated groups was lower significantly than that in control group (P

Objective Explore the feasibility of minute cells STR typing.Methods Minute cells which were obtained by micromanipulation method were amplified with MiniFiler kit,and detected by ABI 3130 genetic analyzer.Results Ten cells can be successfully genotyped.Complete genotyping results can be obtained for one,three or five cells but with stochastic effect.Conclusion Instability is observed in minute cells genotyping,so it can not be used in actual case work.Maybe increase the quantity of DNA template can improve the success rate.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical character of antibiotic associated diarrhea(AAD)in order to provide reference for prevention measures. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was applied to analyze 488 inpatients treated with antibiotics in our hospital from 2006 to 2008,of which 42 AAD cases were analyzed in terms of clinical manifestation,utilization of antibiotics, therapy and prognosis, etc. RESULTS: The incidence of AAD arrived at 8.6%. The reason that incidence of AAD was higher than that of control group was above 7 days of antibiotics treatment, broad-spectrum antibiotic, more than two kinds of antibiotics and over 70 years old. CONCLUSION: The key point of preventing AAD is rational use of antibiotics.

Objective To investigate effects of Kanglaite injection on proliferation, cycle and apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells;To discuss its relevant mechanism. Methods Logarithmic growth phase cells were divided into control group and Kanglaite-treatment group (10, 20, 40μL/mL). Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 for 24 h before drug treatment. The inhibition rate of Kanglaite injection on proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells was detected by MTT assay. Apoptosis and cell cycle of MCF-7 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Changes in cell nucleus were determined by Hochest staining assay. Protein expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by ELISA and Western blot. Results Kanglaite injection for 12 h, 24 h or 48 h resulted in a significant inhibition of MCF-7 cells proliferation (P<0.05, P<0.01);Compared with the control group, Kanglaite injection-treated cells showed increased percentage in G2/M and G0/G1 phases (P<0.001, P<0.01), but showed decreased percentage in S phase (P<0.01), and apoptosis rate increased (P<0.05, P<0.001). Kanglaite injection significantly decreased protein expression of Bcl-2, and enhanced protein expression of Bax of MCF-7 cells (P<0.01, P<0.001). Conclusion Kanglaite injection can inhibit the proliferation of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, decrease cell cycle and induce apoptosis, the mechanism is related with decreasing protein expression of Bcl-2 and enhance the protein expression of Bax.

Aim To investigate the effects of sesamin on inflammation response of asthma and to explore its possible mechanism of action. Methods Forty male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups with 8 mice in each group: normal group, ovalbumin ( OVA) group, sesamin low dose group, sesamin high dose group and dexamethasone( DXM) group. Asthma model mice were induced by OVA in vivo. The left lung was isolated for pathological examination. Experi-ment of ELISA and Western blot were used to deter-mine the effect of sesamin on IL-4 , IL-5 , IL-13 and IFN-γ expression. Hematoxylin and eosin stain was used to investigate pathological examination in lung tis-sue. Western blot was performed to detect the IκBαphosphorylation and NF-κB nuclear translocation. Re-sults The mice developed the following pathophysio-logical features of asthma: increased numbers of in-flammatory cells, increased levels of IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 , decreased level of IFN-γ in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids ( BALF ) and lung tissues ( P <0. 05 ) , and increased IκBα phosphorylation and NF-κB nucle-ar translocation in lung tissues ( P <0. 05 ) . Adminis-tration of sesamin markedly reduced airway inflammato-ry cell recruitment, reduced the production of IL-4, IL-5 , IL-13 and increased IFN-γ in BALF and lung tissues( P <0. 05 ) . The increased IκBα phosphoryla-tion and NF-κB nuclear translocation after OVA inhala-tion were inhibited by the administration of sesamin. Conclusion Sesamin attenuates inflammation re-sponse of asthma through suppression of NF-κB activa-tion.

Objective To evaluate the effect of FOCUS- PDCA model in hypoglycemia management during hemodialysis in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Methods Totally 107 patients with diabetic nephropathy were divided into two groups. Patients in the control group received traditional hypoglycemia management, while FOCUS- PDCA model was implemented in the experimental group in hypoglycemia management, including reducing insulin dosage before hemodialysis,injecting 50%glucose and taking hyperglycemia food during hemodialysis,enhancing the monitoring of blood glucose and health education. Compared the incidence of blood glucose levels and hypoglycemia in two groups of patients at different time of dialysis. Results The frequency of hypoglycemia in the experimental group at the beginning of dialysis [ (9.04±2.08) mmol/L ], 2 hours after dialysis[ (5.78±1.82) mmol/L ]and at the end of dialysis[ (6.94±2.04) mmol/L ] were significantly lower than that in the control group[ (8.60±2.02) mmol/L, (5.20±1.62) mmol/L, (4.97±1.05) mmol/L ], (P <0.05), and the total incidence rate of hypoglycemia was 1.6%(61/3 889), which significantly lower than that 4.8%(185/3 816) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=5.288, P < 0.05). Conclusions The application of FOCUS- PDCA model in the hypog1ycemia management of patients with diabetic nephropathy can reduced the incidence of hypoglycemia during hemodialysis. It deserves to be widely used in clinical practice to improve the patients′quality of life.
