Thermal Shift Assays was applied for high-throughput screening optimized buffer system used in the gel filtration chromatography for purification of recombinant TBEV serine protease. The optimization included kinds of salt and pH. It was optimized new buffer remarkably improved the quality of the purified TBEV serine protease by increasing its monomer from 75% to 99%. This result may improve future crystal studies of this protein.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the nosocomial infections among dead cases with cancer and explore the relationship between death and nosocomial infections.METHODS Totally 309 dead cases with cancer were investigated and analyzed in 2004-2005.RESULTS From them 64 with 72 times accompanied by nosocomial infections(20.71%,23.30%),the rate was 5.85 times higher than the total nosocomial infection rate in the hospital.Of 64 cases with nosocomial infections,48(75%) were led to death directly by nosocomial infections.The average hospitalization time of these 64 dead cases with nosocomial infections was 63.94 days,which was 20.98 days longer than the whole average hospitalization time(29.21 days).Cases with tumors related to immune system were more often accompanied by nosocomial infections than with other tumors(P

Based on the concept of environmental factors of ICF, together with the practice of environmental assessment and reform in the recent years, this paper discussed the principle, specification, procedures and content of environmental assessment.

AIM: To study the causes of pyogenic granuloma after hydroxyapatite(HA) orbital implants.METHODS: HA orbital implants (250 cases) in our hospital (68 pegged implants) were reviewed.All patients were followed up from 18 months to 10 years. Implants were removed after medical therapy which was proved to be ineffective.RESULTS: Ten of 250 cases of HA orbital implants developed pyogenic granuloma. Pyogenic granuloma occurred in 1 unpegged implants patient and 9 patients after pegging and drilling of HA implantation over 4～7 years. The pyogenic granulomas were not controlled by medical therapy effectively. Implants were removed in 9 cases except 1 case denied removing and continued medical therapy.CONCLUSION: Pyogenic granuloma was serious complication that occurred after HA orbital implants. Partial vascularization, implant exposure, xenogenic sclera implant, pegging and drilling of HA implantation are risk factors that affect the development of pyogenic granuloma.Pyogenic granuloma hasn't relation with implanted peg material. Pyogenic granuloma denotes the potential implant infection, and all implants should be removed finally.

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) are very two important pathogens that have coursed huge economic losses in swine production in worldwide. In this study,a vector pCMV-TJM containing the full-length cDNA clone of PRRSV attenuated strain TJM-F92 was firstly constructed by PCR method. Then a gene sequence containing Afl II/Mlu I e restriction enzyme sites and a transcription regulatory sequence for ORF6 (TRS6) was inserted be- tween ORF7 and 3'UTR, yielding a expression vector pCMV-TJM-TRS. Subsequently, a plasmid pCMV-TJM-Cap was constructed by cloning of PCV2 ORF2 gene into the unique sites Afl II /Mlu I of pCMV- TJM-TRS plasmid DNA. Then three recombinant PRRSV, rTJM, rTJM/TRS and rTJM/Cap, were rescued by transfection of pCMV-TJM, pCMV-TJM-TRS and pCMV-TJM-Cap into Marc-145 cells, respectively,and confirmed by the genome sequence, restriction enzyme digestion, Western Blot and IFA. They all had the molecular markers which was different from the parent virus. The growth characteristics of the rescued viruses were similar to that of parent virus. rTJM/Cap could also express efficiently PCV2 Cap protein in Marc-145 cells. At passage 8, it still had PCV2 ORF2 gene which examined by RT-PCR. It indicated that the full-length cDNA clone of PRRSV attenuated strain TJM-F92 and recombinant PRRSV rTJM/Cap expressing PCV2 Cap protein were successfully constructed. It made an important foundation for studying on the pathogenic mechanisms of PRRSV and PRRSV-PCV2 vaccine in the future.

Morphology and molecular identification technology were used to identify 3 original plants of Fructus Elaeagni which was commonly used in Uygur medicine. Leaves, flowers and fruits from different areas were selected randomly for morphology research. ITS2 sequence as DNA barcode was used to identify 17 samples of Fructus Elaeagni. The genetic distances were computed by kimura 2-parameter (K2P) model, and the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic trees were constructed using MEGA5.0. The results showed that Elaeagnus angustifolia, E. oxycarpa and E. angustifolia var. orientalis cannot be distinguished by morphological characteristics of leaves, flowers and fruits. The sequence length of ITS2 ranged from 220 to 223 bp, the average GC content was 61.9%. The haplotype numbers of E. angustifolia, E. oxycarpa and E. angustifolia var. orientals were 4, 3, 3, respectively. The results from the NJ tree and ML tree showed that the 3 original species of Fructus Elaeagni cannot be distinguished obviously. Therefore, 3 species maybe have the same origin, and can be used as the original plant of Uygur medicineal material Fructus Elaeagni. However, further evidence of chemical components and pharmacological effect were needed.

During the teaching activities, to stimulate students' subject awareness and encour-age them to play the main role in class activities are inevitable trends in the reform of college educa-tion. Students’ subjective activity is a key to the teaching effect of regional anatomy, a course mainly based on experimental program. Department of Human Anatomy in Chongqing Medical University lay-outs regional anatomy teaching program to develop the students' subjective activities in learning from the course specialty: in preview and review, to train students' image-thinking by drawing; in anatomi-cal operation link, to cultivate students' interest in learning and innovation by discussing the relation-ship of anatomical structure and clinical disease and identifying the variation of structure; in the eval-uation process, taking the formative evaluation system to promote the students' initiatives and ensure the objectiveness and fairness. The implementation of these measures promotes the regional anatomy teaching quality.

Objective To compare the incorporation method of 3H-TdR and 125Ⅰ-UdR on determining the proliferation effect of lymphocytes. Methods The proliferation effects of lymphocyte and Daudi lymphoma cells were estimated by 3H-TdR and 125Ⅰ-UdR incorporation. Results The incorporating fraction of 3H-TdR and 125Ⅰ-UdR into lymphocyte was 20.95% ± 1.06% and 1.00% ±0.04%,respectively, and the incorporating fraction for the lymphoma cells was 29. 94% ± 4. 10% and 6. 02% ±0. 73% ,respectively. The incorporation fractions of 3H-TdR into lymphocyte and lymphoma cells were much higher than those of 125Ⅰ-UdR, but the incorporating fractions of 3H-TdR or 125Ⅰ-UdR into the lymphoma cells were much higher than those of lymphocytes. Conclusions For lymphocytes, 125Ⅰ-UdR cannot substitute 3H-TdR as a tracer agent. But for lymphoma cells, whether 125Ⅰ-UdR could be replace 3H-TdR or not needs further research.
