This study was aimed to identify pET21b-HPV16E2/BL21(DE3) strain and to optimize the expression of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) E2 protein by orthogonal analysis. Four influence factors on two levels were selected to increase the target protein quantity. The four factors were induction time, induction temperature, inductor concentration and cell density. The quantity of HPV16 E2 protein was used as the evaluation parameter. Induced by IPTG, HPV16 E2 protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot. Target protein was analyzed by GIS imaging system to quantify the protein level. SPSS13. 0 software was applied to analyze the result. Data showed that the expression strain pET211rHPV16 E2/BL21(DE3) was identified correctly. HPV16 E2 protein expressed mainly at insoluble form. The 42KD protein band was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Orthogonal test was applied on influence factor analysis and expression optimization successfully. Main influence factors were inductor concentration and induction temperature. The optimimum condition of maximum expression quantity was 37 degrees C, 7h, 1.0 mmol/L IPTG and OD600 1.0. In this experiment, orthogonal test could not only be used to analyze the influential factors and promote the target protein expression, but also be used to provide a better experiment method for molecular biological study.

Objective To organize the list of medicinal plants in Longzhong region;To conclude the species and distribution of medicinal plants in the region;To provide reference for the protection,development and utilization of TCM resources in the region.Methods The data of the fourth national census of TCM resources were obtained through the database of TCM resources census,and reference was made to the Chinese Botanical Records,Flora of the Loess Plateau,Gansu Herbal Resources Records,Gansu Provincial Standard of Chinese Materia Medica(2020 edition),Gansu Provincial Standard of Chinese and Tibetan Materia Medica(2020 edition),and other books and relevant literature supplementation,to summarize the medicinal plant species and distribution in Longzhong region.The status was summarized and analyzed.Results There are totally 178 families,829 genera and 2 101 species of medicinal plant resources in Longzhong region,mainly exist in angiosperms,gymnosperms and ferns and other groups,of which the dominant families are mainly concentrated in the Compositae,Rosaceae,Leguminosae,etc.The main medicinal parts for the whole grass class,mainly heat-clearing medicines,and 51 species of cultivated medicinal plants,including Astragalus membranaceus(Fisch.)Bge.var.mongholicus(Bge)Hsiao,Rosa rugosa Thunb.,Lonicera japonica Thunb.and so on.Conclusion Longzhong region is rich in plant resources and has many kinds of medicinal plants,which should be rationally developed and utilized on the basis of protection and vigorously develop characteristic TCM industry according to the geographical environment.

ObjectiveTo clarify the spatial distribution characteristics of medicinal plant resources in Gansu province, analyze the causes, changing trends, and driving factors of the spatial differentiation, and thus lay a scientific basis for the rational development and sustainable development of medicinal plant resources in this province. MethodBased on the data of The Fourth National Survey of Chinese Medicine Resources, the richness and spatial distribution difference of medicinal plant resources in 87 counties (districts) of Gansu province were analyzed via the global spatial autocorrelation analysis, trend surface analysis, local spatial autocorrelation analysis, and hotspot analysis. Moreover, the correlation of vegetation type, soil texture, annual average temperature, annual average precipitation, and altitude with the spatial distribution pattern of the medicinal plant resources was discussed. ResultCounties (districts) with high or low richness of medicinal plant resources in Gansu province were respectively clustered together. To be specific, counties (districts) with high richness of the medicinal resources were mainly in southeastern Gansu, while those with low richness in northwestern Gansu. The leading driving factors affecting the cold and hot spots included vegetation type, soil texture, and average annual rainfall. ConclusionThe species richness of medicinal plant resources in Gansu province rises from west to east and from north to south. The natural driving factors are the key to the diversity and spatial distribution pattern of medicinal plant resources, which show significant influence on them.
