Objective:To clone the RC-RNase gene and prepare its recombinant prokaryotic construct, and then to express RC-RNase protein using Escherichia coli system. Methods: RC-RNase cDNA was obtained by RT-PCR from liver of Rana catesbeiana, and cloned into pUCm-T plasmid for nucleotide sequencing. Its expression construct was prepared using the 6?His vector pRSET-A, and induced to express by IPTG in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). Western blotting identified the expression product. Results: A 380 bp long cDNA was obtained from liver of Rana catesbeiana, restriction sites and sequence being consistent to those reported for RC-RNase. After introducing the gene into Escherichia coli and through the induction by IPTG, it was observed a new peptide at the expected position (Mr 16000) on SDS-PAGE gel. This product was proved to be the target protein via Western blotting. It existed in a form of inclusion body and its efficiency reached 12.5% of total bacterial proteins. Conclusion: RC-RNase gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The protein could be used for characterizing the biological activities and function of RC-RNase.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the drug resistance changes of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from the blood culture specimens collected during the period of 2006-2008.METHODS Blood culture of patients in our hospital was performed by BacT/Alert 240 and the isolated bacteria were identified by API and Microscan and tested for drug resistance against antimicrobial agent by K-B method.A retrospective analysis was made to the blood culture results during the period of 2006-2008 with WHONET 5.4 software.RESULTS Gram-negative rods were the predominant bacteria which caused sepsicemia.The isolated rates of Escherichia coli took the first place during the period of 2006-2008.Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) were also the most important pathogens which caused blood infection.The infection rate of coagulase negative staphylococcus(CNS) and P.aeruginosa had increasing tendency.Imipenem and meropenem were the most effective antibiotics(100%) to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Then amikacin and cefoxitin also had high susceptibility to E.coli and K.pneumoniae.Furthermore,drug susceptibility in 2008 was higher than that of two years before.All antibacterials had low drug susceptibility to P.aeruginosa,and its drug resistance rate rised obviously.The drug resistance situation of Acinetobacter baumannii was serious.Except imipenem and meropenem had relatively higher susceptibility(20-69.2%),the susceptibility to other antibacterials was lower than 41.7%.Vancomycin,teicoplanin and quinupristin/dalfopristin were the most effective antibiotics to(SAU).CONCLUSIONS The species and drug resistance of the bacteria isolated from blood specimens have changed.More attention should be paid to the detection and surveillance of bacterial resistance in blood culture to promote the rational use of antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance of non-fermenting bacteria isolated from our hospital and offer the basis for the treatment of bacterial infection.METHODS Totally 2177 strains of non-fermenting bacteria were isolated from clinical sputum samples between Jan 2006 and Dec 2008.All of the isolated bacteria were identified with API identified test(API Inc,France) and Kirby-Bauer(K-B) test used for the antibiotics susceptive test.RESULTS From them the most common bacteria were Pseudomonas auruginosa(34.9%),followed by Acinetobacter baumannii(28.4%) and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia(11.4%).These bacteria had various resistances to the tested antibiotics.CONCLUSIONS Non-fermenting bacteria have high isolate rate and multi-antibiotic resistance,so antibiotics should be correctly used under the guidance of antibiotic susceptibility test.

Objective To investigate the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on complement 3a (C3a)-induced renal tubular epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Methods The HK-2 cells were divided into 6 groups namely control group,EPO group,TGF-β group,TGF-β+EPO group,C3a group and EPO+C3a group.The mRNA and protein expressions of α-SMA,E-cadherin and C3 were investigated by RT-PCR,Western blot and immunofluorescence respectively. Results Compared with control group and EPO group,the mRNA and protein expressions of α-SMA in HK-2 cells were up-regulated after the intervention of C3a or TGF-β (all P<0.05).On the contrast,the mRNA and protein expressions of E-cadherin were down-regulated(P<0.05),the mRNA and protein expressions of C3 were enhanced (all P<0.05).However,all those above effects of C3a or TGF-β were inhibited after the intervention of EPO (all P<0.05). Conclusion EPO is capable of suppressing the epithelial to mesenchymal transition induced by C3a.

Objective: To observe the targeting therapy of the hdsFv-RC-RNase recombinant single chain immunotoxin on the xenograft of the human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice and to explore its clinical potentiality. Methods: The prokaryotic expression vector TIG-hdsFv-RC-RNase was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3)plys to largely express recombinant single chain immunotoxin hdsFv-RC-RNase against hepatocellular carcinoma induced by IPTG. The expressed product was purified via Ni-NTA affinity chromatography under native conditions and mildly refolded. The ELISA was used to analyze its immunological activity of antigen-binding capability. The xenogrft model of the human hepatocellular carcinoma in nude mice was established and the targeting therapy of hdsFv-RC-RNase was evaluated. Results:After induced by IPTG, a new protein band with M_r 41 000 was found in the supernatant of the bacteria and expressed in a soluble form. The expressed product was purified to homogeneity via Ni-NTA affinity chromatography under native conditions. The results of ELISA showed the refolded hdsFv-RC-RNase had the specific antigen-binding capability to the human hepatocellular carcinoma cell, but not to the normal hepatocyte (P

Objective To investigate the availability and safety of pulmonary rehabilitation for hospitalized patients with acute exacerba-tion of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Seventy-two hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of COPD were randomly included into test group (n=36) and control group (n=36) from June, 2015 to June, 2016. All the patients accepted management of anti-infection, phlegm elimination, antiasthma, etc., as well as the guidance of expectoration and health education; while the test group ac-cepted pulmonary rehabilitation from the third day of admission to discharge. Their strength of hand grip, 1-minute sit-to-stand test (STST), the days of hospitalization, lung function parameters, modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scores and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores were measured before and after treatment. Results Compared with the control group, the strength of hand grip (t=2.985, P<0.01) and number of STST (t=2.024, P<0.05) increased, while the scores of CAT (t=3.222, P<0.01) and mMRC (t=2.212, P<0.05) de-creased in the test group. The hospital stay seemed to be shorter in the test group than in the control group, but there was no significant dif-ference (t=1.433, P>0.05). There was no significant difference in lung function after treatment in both groups (Z<1.031, P>0.05). Conclu-sion Pulmonary rehabilitation is effective on hospitalized patients with acute exacerbation of COPD in muscle strength, capability of activi-ties, and relieve the symptoms.
