Objective To measure the reliability and validity of the Lam Assessment of Stages of Employment Readiness (LASER) Putonghua version for injured workers, and observe the confidence of return to work on different preparation stages. Methods 85 injured workers with limb fractures were included. The data was obtained through face-to-face structured interview. The test-retest reliability and internal consistency were measured. Factor analysis was used to examine construct validity of the Putonghua version LASER. Results Principle component analysis extracted four factors, which was consistent with the original version of LASER. Intra- class correlation coefficient (ICC) of test-retest ranged 0.27~0.89, whereas the internal consistence among these 4 stages ranged 0.691~0.796. There were significantly differences in confident scores in different stages among 3 different confidence groups. Conclusion The structure validity of Putonghua version
of LASER is useful for reflecting the readiness of injured workers' return to work. However, the reliability coefficient is rather low in some of the items, which could be resulted in incorrect judgment of readiness of return to work of injured workers. The further study on items correction and development is apparent.

An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of four quinolones in soil was developed. Soil samples were extracted by a mixture of 50% magnesium nitrate and 10% ammonia(96∶ 4, V/V)with an ultrasonic-assisted extraction, then purified and concentrated by HLB cartridge, and eluted with acetonitrile and 0.067 mol/L phosphoric acid(5∶ 1, V/V). Using acetonitrile and 0.067 mol/L phosphoric acid(pH=2.5) as the mobile phase, these analytes were quantificated by HPLC(fluorimetric detector) at excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 450 nm respectively. The detective limits for four quinolones in soil were from 0.58 to 0.03 g/kg. The recoveries were 60.4% to 99.3% for soil samples. The method was successfully applied to determine the quinolones in soil samples from vegetable fields. Four quinolone compounds were detected to a different extent with total amounts of quinolones ranged from 27.84 to 129.26 μg/kg.

Objective To construct a eukaryotic expression system with pcDNA3-PfCSP/Hela for the Circumsporozoite protein (CSP) gene of Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), to observe the immune responses in BALB/c mice induced by the expressed proteins. Methods The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-PfCSP was transformed into the Hela cell line. The expressed protein was isolated and analyzed by using SDS-PAGE and used for immunization of BALB/c mice by subcutaneous, intravenous, and intraperitoneal adminstration. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), Dot-ELISA, Western blot, T lymphocyte proliferation test, natural killer cell(NKC) activity assay, and CD4+ and CD8+ T cell detection were used for observation of humoral and cellular immune responses. Results Immune sera strongly reacted with the expressed protein, antibody titer was up to 1∶6400 as detected by ELISA. Western blot analysis revealed a specific band at 38.3?Kda. When the spleen cells of normal and immunized BALB/c mice were specifically stimulated with expressed protein, the optical densities were 0.12±0.03 and 0.34±0.04, respectively. The latter were significantly higher than the former (P<0.01). We used the MTT colorimetric assay to measure NKC activity of mice spleen. The results showed that the NKC activity of immunized BALB/c mice was remarkably higher than that of the controls (P<0.05). CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were detected by using monoclonal antibody immunofluorescence methods. The results showed that the percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells of immunized group were significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusions The humoral and cell-mediated immune responses and elevated NKC activity to products made with a eukaryotic expression system could be specifically detected in BALB/c mice. These findings indicate that the expressed protein could enhance the immune function in mice.

Nosiheptide is a typical thiopeptide antibiotic displaying potent activity toward various drug-resistant strains of Gram-positive pathogens.Although nosiheptide lacks in vivo activity, and good water-solubility with a series of uncontrollable analogues, which may limit its clinical application, glycosylated analogues may overcome problem of low activity and may improve its druggability.In search of novel glycosylated nosiheptide producers, we applied a genome mining strategy that identified Actinoalloteichus sp.AHMU CJ021 that contains all genes required.However, despite the presence of a predicted glycosyltransferase, glycosylated derivatives of nosiheptide were not detected, after following one strain many compounds (OSMAC) strategy and heterologous expression of a regulatory protein NocP.Nevertheless, nosiheptide produced by this strain was remarkably pure, and further experiments were conducted to improve its production by optimization of the culture medium.Under optimal conditions, 58.73 mg/L nosiheptide was produced, representing an almost 6-fold improvement compared to the original fermentation medium.Therefore, we consider Actinoalloteichus sp.AHMU CJ021 a suitable potential candidate for industrial production of nosiheptide, which provides the basis for solving the problem of nosiheptide structural analogues.
