After large-scale isolation, the recombinant plasmids were inoculated into the quadriceps muscle of mice. In the 9thday after third boost immunization .agglutination antibodies against Br. melitensis and lymphocyte mitogenic ability of mice were determined. Re-sults : Expression library nucleic acid vaccine can induce the production of agglutination antibodies against Br. melitensis and stimulate the lym-phocyte porliferation primed by ConA. Conclusion:The genomic DNA expression library may provide a new vaccine against Br. melitensis infec-tion.

Objective To study the potential effect of gene-environment interaction between glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and serum organochlorines residues on the risk of breast cancer in women, in China. Methods Seventy newly pathologically diagnosed female patients with breast cancer from September 2006 to October 2007 were selected as the cases from five large hospitals in Tangshan. The controls were identified at the same hospital as cases. 1∶1 matched case-control study. Between the cases and controls, the difference of age was not over two years and the residence was similar. The organochlorine residues levels in the serum were measured by gas chromatography (GC). Genotypes of GSTM1 polymorphisms were analyzed by multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Interaction indexes (?) were calculated to determine the type of gene-environment interaction. Results After confounding factors adjusted, the result showed that interaction existed in genetic polymorphisms of GSTM1 and DDT, HCH residues, and interaction indexes (?) value were 1.237 and 1.379. Conclusion GSTM1 genetic polymorphisms and DDT, HCH may present an interaction in the development of breast cancer.

An overall improvement of teaching quality is the core task of the reform and the development of higher education. Based on the analysis of the main factors of affecting the teaching quality in universities and combined with the implementation of “views on improving the overall qual-ity of higher education”by the Education Ministry, countermeasures for improving the teaching quality of undergraduates have been proposed such as increasing higher education funds investment to im-prove the condition of running a school, paying attention to the construction of teaching management staff to improve the level of teaching management, establishing Teacher Development Research Center to consolidate the fundamental position of undergraduate teaching , utilizing the high-quality social resources to implement the collaborative education innovation, and improving the personnel training system to strengthen the teaching quality standard .

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on apoptosis following focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in a rat model of reversible middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) .Methods Twenty-four male SD rats weighing 300-500 g were randomly divided into 3 groups: group I sham operation; group Ⅱ MCAO + normal saline; group Ⅲ MCAO + propofol. MACO was produced by insertion of a 2-0 nylon filament with rounded end into internal carotid artery toward brain until resistance was encountered. The depth of insertion was about 2 mm. The filament was withdrawn after 2 h for reperfusion. In group I (sham operation) carotid artery was exposed but no filament was inserted. In group Ⅲ (propofol) intraperitoneal propofol 100 mg?kg-1 was administered 20 min before reperfusion; while in groupⅡ(normal saline) normal saline was given instead of propofol 20 min before reperfusion. At the end of 2 h reperfusion the animals were decapitated and the brain was removed. Apoptosis was identified by TUNEL technique. Cellular structure was examined under light microscope. Results Propofol significantly inhibited neuronal apoptosis following focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Swelling and necrosis of the neurons were significantly attenuated in group III . Conclusion Propofol protects neurons against focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.
