A bacterial cell surface display technique based on an ice nucleation protein has been employed for the development of live vaccine against viral infection.Due to its ubiquitous ability to invade host cells,Salmonella typhimurium might be a good candidate for displaying viral antigens.We demonstrated the surface display of domain III of Japanese encephalitis virus E protein and the enhanced green fluorescent protein on S.typhimurium BRD509 using the ice nucleation protein.The effects of the motif in the ice nucleation protein on the effective display of integral protein were also investigated.The results showed that display motifs in the protein can target integral foreign protein on the surface of S.typhimurium BRD509.Moreover,recombinant strains with surface displayed viral proteins retained their invasiveness,suggesting that the recombinant S.typhimurium can be used as live vaccine vector for eliciting complete immunogenicity.The data may yield better understanding of the mechanism by which ice nucleation protein displays foreign proteins in the Salmonella strain.

Objectives: To explore the relationship between vascular active peptide, apelin level and blood pressure in a coastal population of Fujian province.
Methods: A total of 1031 subjects with the mean age of (55.1 ± 10.9) years in a coastal area of Fujian province were included in this cross-sectional study, and 416 subjects with male gender. The questionnaire survey, physical examination and plasma level of apelin measurement were conducted. Based on JNC-7 deifnition of hypertension, the subjects were divided into 3 groups: ① Hypertension group, the patients with systolic blood pressure (SBP)≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP)≥90 mmHg, n=496. ② Pre-hypertension group, SBP at (120-139) mmHg and/or DBP at (80-89) mmHg without medication, n=314.③Normal BP group, SBP<120mmHg and DBP<80mmHg without medication, n=221. Based on 4 quartiles of apelin levels, the subjects were further divided into 4 groups:Q1 group, apelin<164.8 ng/ml, n=258. Q2 group, apelin at (164.8-<220.0) ng/ml, n=258. Q3 group, apelin at (220.0-283.1) ng/ml, n=258. Q4 group, apelin>283.1 ng/ml, n=257. One way analysis of variance, covariance analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were used to study the
relationship between apelin level and BP.
Results: The apelin level in male gender (220.57 ± 78.87) pg/ml was lower than female gender (232.06 ± 81.17) pg/ml. Compared with Normal group, Pre-hypertension group had decreased apelin level, compared with Normal and Pre-hypertension groups, Hypertension group had decreased apelin level, P<0.05. Compared with Q1 group, Q2, Q3 groups presented decreased SBP, DBP and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), and compared with other 3 groups, Q4 group had decreased SBP, DBP (not including Q2, Q3 groups) and MABP, P<0.05. With adjusted age and gender, SBP, DBP and MABP were signiifcantly different among 4 quartiles of apelin groups, P<0.05. Multivariate linear regression analysis indicated that SBP, DBP and MABP were negatively related to apelin level, such relationship remained the same after adjusting the other cardiovascular risk factors.
Conclusion: Apelin level dropping accompanying with BP increasing implies that vascular active peptide, apelin involved in BP regulation.

Objective To study the expressions of the tumor suppressor gene TSH receptor( TSHR),P16, and RAS in papillary thyroid carcinoma ( PTC ) , and the correlation between the occurrence of tumor and the aberrant promoter hypermethylation of three tumor suppressor genes. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of three tumor suppressor genes in tissues of 50 cases of PTC ,20 cases of nodular goiter,and 12 cases of thyroid adenoma. The promoter methylation status of three tumor suppressor genes was examined by methylation-specific PCR technique( MSP). Gene sequencing was used to test if the hypermethylation existed in the promoter of three tumor suppressor genes. Results In 68.0% (34/50) TSHR gene, 54.0% (27/50) P16 gene, and 60.0% ( 30/50 ) RAS gene in PTCs, hypermethylation in promoter region was detected, the respective results 21.9% (7/32) , 15. 6% (5/32) ,and 31. 3% (10/32) were found in control tissues. The rates of the three genes with promoter hypermethylation in PTC were significantly higher than those in control tissues ( all P<0. 05). The mRNA expressions of TSHR,P16,and RAS were significantly lower in PTC than those in control tissues (0. 41 ± 0.11 vs 0.63±0. 08,0. 51±0. 17 vs 0. 72±0. 22,0. 56±0. 10 vs 0. 67±0. 16, all P<0. 05). The sequencing confirmed that there was CC to TC transmission in the promoters of three tumor suppressor genes. Conclusions The methylation of three tumor suppressor genes in promoter region is a common molecule event and may be involved in the genesis and development of human PTC.
