ObjectiveTo find out the prevalence of brucellosis in Baotou,and to provide a scientific basis for integrated control of brucellosis.MethodIn 2010,high-risk people 7 to 70 years of age engaged in livestock farming,grazing,slaughtering,processing and selling were investigated in 9 districts (banners,counties)of Baotou city.In accordance with the principle of informed consent,blood samples were collected,serum titer was tested using the rose bengal agglutination test and tube agglutination test(SAT),and serum titer of 1:100(+ +) was considered as positive brucellosis,and results were evaluated based on brucellosis monitoring standards(GB 16885-1997).ResultsA total of 5832 copy blood samples were collected,and 250 cases were tested positive,the positive rate was 4.25％.The number of new cases was 164,accounting for 2.81％ (164/5832).Age was mainly concentrated in the 40 to 60 years,accounting for 66.0％(165/250).Brucellosis infection in the livestock industry accounted for 80.87％ (4757/5882).From the regional distribution,DAMAOQI had the most detected cases,and the detection rate was 12.10％ (73/603).ConclusionsContinue to increase the brucellosis prevention knowledge propaganda,carry out brucellosis surveillance of high-risk people,quarantine,and strengthen immunity is the only measure of effective control of brucellosis epidemic.

Objective To understand the arsenic level in drinking water and the current situation in prevention and control of endemic arsenic poisoning in Tuyouqi,Baotou of Inner Mongolia.Methods Through door-to-door survey,we selected patients with arsenic poisoning in order to monitor the arsenic poisoning condition of seven villages(Gangfangying,Laohuyao,Shilaozhang,Youfangying,Wanglaosi,Dajing and Xiaojing) in Tuyouqi,Baotou in 2010,and the disease was diagnosed based on Standard of Diagnosis for Endemic Arsenism(WS/T 211-2001).We also investigated the operation of Salaqi Water Company,Maodai Water Company and the Laohuyao water improvement project.We collected two samples per place in both low water period and high water period to measure water arsenic with silver diethyldithiocarbamate spectrophotometry(WS/T 28-1996).Results Three water improving projects were operating in normal conditions.Water arsenic in Salaqi Water Company and Maodai Water Company was level less than 0.01 mg/L,which met the National Safety Standards of drinking water with arsenic.Water arsenic in Laohuyao improvement project was 0.053 mg/L,which was higher than the drinking water safety standards.The seven villages in Tuyouqi had improved their water conditions.Among them,the arsenic level in Laohuyao was 0.052 mg/L,and the remaining six villages were ＜ 0.05 mg/L.There were 6 suspected cases,14 mild cases,4 moderate cases and 10 severe cases of the 2095 people monitored and no new cases found.The age of patients with arsenic poisoning was in the range of 40 to 70.Conclusions The monitoring results show that drinking water arsenic level in some villages in Tuyouqi is still excessive,but no new arsenic poisoning patients in arsenic poisoning areas are found.

Objective To clone the human gene of Hepatitis B virus e antigen binding protein 1 (HBEBP1), which was screened with yeast two-hybrid system and bioinformatics techniques, to construct prokaryotic expression vector of pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1, and to induce the expression of recombinant protein in E. coli BL21. Methods The DNA fragment of HBEBP1 of about 372bp was amplified by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), in which the mRNA was taken from HepG2 cells as the template, and cloned into pGEM-T vector. After restriction enzyme digestion identification and sequencing, the correct target DNA fragment was inserted into inducible prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+) and then transformed into competent E. coli BL21. By restriction enzyme digestion and PCR, the positive transformed clones were identified and induced with IPTG to obtain fusion protein. The HBEBP1 fusion protein was analyzed by Western blotting hybridization. Results The 372bp DNA fragment of HBEBP1 was amplified by RT-PCR. The recombinant expression vector pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1 was constructed successfully. After transformation with pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1 and induction with IPTG, the recombinant target protein of about 33kD was obtained, which was consistent with our anticipation. Western blotting assay showed that the protein had good specificity. Conclusions The recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-HBEBP1 is constructed, and the HBEBP1 gene is cloned successfully. The HBEBP1 fusion protein could be expressed in prokaryotic expression system of E. coli. These results lays a foundative for studying the immunogenicity and the biological characteristics of the HBEBP1 protein.

To improve and optimize marine antimicrobial peptide R-1 production by a newly isolated Brevibacillus laterosporus Lh-1, Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design was adopted in culture conditions. MINITAB 15.0 was used for planning the experiments, data analysis, contour diagrams and response optimizations. In this study, PB design was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the fifteen factors. By the statistical regression analysis, the significant factors affecting the novel antimicrobial peptide R-1 in submerged fermentation by Br. laterosporus Lh-1 were determined as follows: glucose, peptone and CaCl2. Then a RSM was used to optimize the above critical internal factors, and the optical concentration of the variables were deter-mined as: 15.72 g/L glucose, 6.01 g/L peptone and 3.29 g/L CaCl2. The content of R-1 was increased from 82.15 kU/mL to 116.27 kU/mL.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of family rehabilitation plan (FRP) on motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods64 patients were randomly divided into the FRP group (32 cases) and control group (32 cases). The patients in the FRP group critically followed the schedule and activities scheduled on FRP and were assessed and guided in out-patient department every two weeks. The patients in the control group made schedule and carried on activities by themselves. Motor function was assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel index (MBI) respectively.ResultsMotor scores of the patients in two groups significantly increased after treatment ( P<0.001), and that of the FRP group was significantly better than that of the control group ( P<0.001).ConclusionThe FRP can significantly improve motor function of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To investigate effect of serum apoptosis factor and long-term effect on medical abortion patients by sequential misoprostol. Methods 80 cases of early pregnancy patients who required termination pregnancy, were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups.40 cases in control group were treated with mifepristone 25mg oral, misoprostol 600μg, 4 times a day.40 cases in experiment group were treated with sequential use of misoprostol.Effect of medical abortion, survivin and caspase-3 were compared after 7d treatment.Gynecological inflammation, dysmenorrhea and infertility were compared for 2 years.Results Compared with control group, complete abortion rate of the experiment group was higher (P<0.05).The incidence of adverse drug reactions of the experiment group was lower than control group (P<0.05) after 2 years follow.up.Compared with the control group, HCG,E3 and P of experimental group were lower (P<0.05).After 7 days of medication,survivin decreased,caspase-3 increased,compared with control group, survivin of the experiment group was lower, caspase-3 was higher ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Misoprostol sequential can improve the success rate of medical abortion abortion, reduce the complications of abortion, presumably with the inhibition of survivin expression, is associated up regulation of caspase-3 levels.

Objective To investigate the effects of regular insulin (RI)on duodenal smooth muscle in diabetic mice. Methods Diabetes mellitus (DM) model was established by intraperitoneal injection of 150 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) in male BALB/c mice. The model mice were divided into DM group and DM treated with RI group with 6 each. Meanwhile, 6 normal mice were served as controls. The mice in treatment group were intraperitoneally injected with 40 U/kg of RI daily.Whereas the mice in DM and control groups were intraperitoneally injected with phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7. 40). After 6 weeks, the small intestinal transit rate of mice was determined by lavage of Indian ink. Interstitial cells of cajal (ICC) in duodenal myenteric plexus were counted using immunohistochemical staining. Slow waves of duodenal smooth muscle cells were recorded with intracellular recordings. Data were analysed by SPSS 17.0 software, and comparisons among three groups were done using LSD test. Results After intervention for 6 months, the clinical presentations,such as more water and food intake and polyuria, were improved in treatment group. The body weight was increased in treatment group [(23.33±3.13) g] compared with DM group [(15.42±1.40) g,P＜0.01] ,but dereased compared with control group [(26.78 ± 2.09) g, P＜0.05]. The level of blood glucose in DM group was significantly higher than that in control and treatment groups(P＜0.01). Small intestine transmission rate was significantly reduced in DM group than that in control and treatment groups (P＜0.01), but it was slower in treatment group than that in control group (P＜ 0. 01 ). Immunohistochemical study showed that the number of c-kit positive cells reduced obviously in DM group than that in control group and treatment group (P＜0.05), whereas it was lower in treatment group than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05). The slow wave frequency and amplitude of duodenal smooth muscle cells in DM group were reduced when compared with control and treatment groups (P＜0.01) and both were lower in treatment group than that in control group (P＜0. 01 ). Conclusion The findings indicate that DM mice have gastrointestinal dysmotility and exogenous insulin may improve small intestinal dysmotility in DM mice.
