BACKGROUND: Clinically, in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) can be associated with delayed platelet engraftment, phenotypically abnormal peripheral blood leukocytes, and graft rejection, possibly through a direct viral effect on hematopoietic progenitor cells after HCMV infection. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of ganciclovir (GCV) on proliferation of colony forming unit (CFU) granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM), CFU-erythroid (CFU-E), CFU T-lymphocyte (CFU-TL), CFU-multipotential (CFU-Mix) and CFU-megakaryocyte (CFU-Mk) progenitor cells of cord blood (CB) and the protective effects on them. DESIGN: Contrast observational study.SETTING: Department of Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 20 cord blood (CB) samples (with 10 mL for each sample) from fetal umbilical vein of normal term spontaneous delivery neonates were provided by the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College. All the patients were informed and agreed with the experiment.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Molecular Biology, Affiliated Hospital of Luzhou Medical College from June 2004 to December 2006. Colony forming unit-assay was applied to observe the suppression effect of HCMV-AD169 strain on CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk of CB with the presence of GCV. The techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence quantification PCR were used to demonstrate the existence of HCMV-AD169 DNA in the colony cells of cultured CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk. Normal progenitor cells culture system was regarded as blank control group; normal progenitor cells culture system with inactivated HCMV fluid as inactivated (IV) control group.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① The number and maintaining duration of colonies of cultured progenitor cells were counted by using a light inverted phase contrast microscope. ② The techniques of PCR and fluorescence quantification PCR were used to demonstrate the existence of HCMV-AD169 DNA in the colony cells of cultured progenitor cells.RESULTS: ① Number and lasting time of colonies: The numbers of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk colonies in the HCMV infection group were significantly less than those in the blank control group (P < 0.01). The maintaining duration of colonies in the HCMV infection group was significantly shorter than that in the blank control group (P < 0.01). HCMV-DNA copies of colony cells of GCV group decreased significantly by using fluorescence quantification PCR compared with HCMV group (P < 0.01), while negative in blank control and inactivated control in CFU-MK and CFU-Mix. ② CFU Growth rate: The Growth rate of colonies was 37.4%, 74.2%, 40.1%, 67.4% and 38.9% of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and FU-MK, respectively. ③ CFU-HCMV-AD169 DNA: Fluorescence quantification PCR showed that nucleonic acid content of progenitor cells after GCV-affected HCMV infection was decreased as compared with that after HCMV infection (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The differentiation and proliferation of CFU-GM, CFU-E, CFU-TL, CFU-Mix and CFU-Mk are significantly inhibited after infected with CMV-AD169 strain. The growth of hematopoietic progenitor cell after HCMV-AD169 infection is promoted by GCV, which suggests that GCV has an effect of anti-HCMV in vitro.

Objective To analyze the effects of achievement motivation and family environ-ment of undergraduates majoring in preventive medicine on creativity tendency. Methods The self-administered questionnaire was used to survey the general characteristics , achievement motivation , family environment, and Williams creativity tendency of undergraduates (n=243) from grade 1 to grade 5 majoring in preventive medicine in a medical college. The effects of achievement motivation and family environment on creativity tendency were tested with multiple linear regression analysis. SPSS 17.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The indexes between boys and girls was compared with group t test, and single factor analysis of variance was made for comparison between grades, SNK method was used to test and compare two groups; linear correlation analysis was made to inspect the correlation between the two indicators, and multiple linear regression analysis method was used for further analysis. Results The survey recycled 226 copies of effective questionnaires. The scores of achievement motivation, family environment, and Williams creativity tendency and all dimen-sions had no statistically significant difference among the five grades, or between the male and female (P>0.05). The positive influence factors of creativity tendency and its dimensions were pursuing success, the in-formative property, the entertaining property and organizational property, the negative influence factor was avoiding failure. R2 was 0.094-0.265 (P=0.000-0.048). Conclusion Achievement motivation and family environment of undergraduates majoring in preventive medicine may have posi-tive effects on creativity tendency. Various comprehensive measures should be taken to improve family environment and enhance achievement motivation, and to promote to increase creativity tendency, and to cultivate students' creativity and improve students' scientific research ability.

AIM The purpose is to construct D-hydantoinase genetic engineering strain for the purpose of the industrial production of D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine. METHODS D-hydantoinase gene was created from Pseudomonas putida 9801 by PCR technique and inserted into pMD18-T vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into several Escherichia coli strains. The positive transformants with D-hydantoinase activity were obtained by the two step screening, digoxigenin DNA labeling in situ hybridization and D-hydantoinase activity assay. RESULTS The D-hydantoinase activity of the genetic engineering strain E.coli BL21/pMD-dht was 1700 U*L-1 and increased as high as 8 times compared with those of wild-type strain Pseudomonas putida 9801. The subunit molecular weight of recombinant D-hydantoinase was about 53 kDa measured by SDS-PAGE. The amount of the recombinant D-hydantoinase was about 20 percent of total bacterial soluble proteins. CONCLUSION The genetic engineering strain E.coli BL21/pMD-dht possesses the initial industrial production prospects.
