Objective To construct GST/HIF1α fusion protein expression vector and induce its expression in Escherichia coli (E.coli). Methods The coding sequence of hypoxia inducible factor-la (HIF-la) and its deletion fragments were amplified from the plasmid pcD-NA3.1-HIF-la by PCR and inserted into pGEX-4T-2 by BamHI and Not I. The positive recombinanls were identified by restriction endonu-clease digestion and DNA sequencing. Then they were transformed into E.coli BL21, induced by IPTG and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot. Results The prokaryotic expression plasmid pGEX-4T-2-HIF-lα and its deletion mutants were successfully constructed and confirmed by enzyme digestion and sequencing. The desired CST/HIF-1α fusion proteins were expressed and confirmed by Western blot. Conclusion The prokaryotic expression plasmid of HIF-la and its deletion mutants were successfully constructed and the expression of fu-sion proteins was confirmed. This study provides the basis for the further research on purifying HIF-la protein and the biological function of HIF-lα.

Objective To investigate the effect of ultrashort wave therapy on edema and inflammatory reaction after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods 56 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham-operated group (n=8), model group (n=24) and ultrashort wave group (n=24). The model was established with Allen's method. The sham-operated group was exposed endorhachis without hit. The ultra-short wave group was exposed to ultrashort wave radiation 7 minutes, once a day, 24 hours after modeling until the animals were sacrificed. Locomotors functional recovery was assessed every week post operation period by BBB score. Immunohistochemical staining was per-formed to observe the expression of the aquaporin-4(AQP-4) and ED-1. Results The BBB scores increased in the model group and the ultra-short wave group after treatment, and was higher in the ultrashort wave group than in the model group from 1 week after treatment (t>3.368, P<0.01). The expressions of AQP-4 and ED-1 were higher in the model group and ultrashort wave group than in the sham-operated group, and decreased as time went on. They were lower in the ultrashort wave group than in the model group(t>3.156, t>4.466, P<0.05). Conclu-sion Ultrashort wave therapy can alleviate the edema after SCI, reduce the activation and infiltration of inflammatory cells, and promote the recovery of neurological function.
