To construct a secretory-expression vector of antimicrobial peptide Bactenecin 7(Bac7),and identify the secretory-expression product in L.lactis MG1363 and its bioactivity.The splicing primers of regulation elements and Bac7 gene,which designed according to codon usage preferences of L.lactis MG1363,were chemically synthesized,and the overlap-extension PCR method was used to splice the full length of Bac7 gene.Then the Bac7 gene was linked to expression vector pMG36e to construct pMG36e/Bac7 vector,and pMG36e/Bac7 was transformed into L.lactis MG1363 by electrophoration.RT-PCR and Western blot assays were applied to investigate the expression of the Bac7 gene in L.lactis,and bioactivity of Bac7 in culture supernatant of L.lactis was tested with plate-diffusion method.The results showed that the Bac7 gene and its regulation elements was amplified and cloned in the vector pMG36e successfully,The secretory-expressed Bac7 in L.lactis MG1363 harboring pMG36e/Bac7 was identified by Western blot,and it had high bacteriostatic activity against E.coli.These results indicate that the recombinant L.lactis MG1363 could express bioactive Bac7,which lays a foundation for further study of oral administration of a Bac7-secreting L.lactis to treat intestinal bacteria infection.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of Bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSCs) intraarticular injection on the pathological development of collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) rats.MethodsCIA Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups:the saline injection control group and the BMSCs injection group.BMSCs were isolated from normal rats and cultured in vitro till P2 generation,which were injected into the affected the ankle joint consequently.After 2,4,8,12 weeks of processing,the following indexes were observed:arthritis score and X-ray.Twelve weeks later,all of the rats were sacrificed and the following histological indexes were evaluated:cartilage destruction and cartilage extracellular matrix secretion.Paired samples t-test was used for the statistical comparison.ResultsAll the arthritis indexes of the BMSCs group were much lower.than those of the saline control group.The arthritis scores were 3.18±0.62 vs 3.84±0.35 (at week 2),3.45±0.28 vs 5.96±0.48(at week 4),3.86±0.23 vs 6.75±0.36(at week 8),4.23±0.43 vs 7.86±0.66 (at week 12) respectively.X-ray scores were 2.04±0.21 vs 2.72±0.15(at week 2),2.52±0.47 vs 4.06±0.38 (atweek 4),3.56±0.29 vs 4.35±0.36 (at week 8),3.73±0.43 vs 4.86±0.62(at weekl2) respectively and the histological evaluation indexes were 2.34±0.22 vs 3.52±0.55 (at week 12).ConclusionBMSCs injection may inhibit the pathological development of CIA rats,and it may be a promising approach for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To explore the application effect of chlorhexidine acetate disinfectant in pin site care of the patients with calcaneal traction.Methods From January 2014 to December 2015,85 cases of patients with calcaneal traction were selected as the research object by purpose sampling method, and were divided into the control group(n=42)and the intervention group(n=43)according to admission time. Patients in two group all received closed nursing for pin site care. Patients in the control group used povidone iodine disinfectant,while patients in the intervention group used chlorhexidine acetate disinfectant. We estimated the infection rate of the patients in two groups.Results During the period of calcaneal traction, there was no pin site infection over level IV happened in two groups. In the first day after calcaneal traction, there was no difference in the infection rate between two groups(P>0.05). In the third day,the fifth day after calcaneal traction and the day before internal fixation,the incidence rate and the level of pin-site infection in the intervention group were lower than those in the control group(Z=-3.214,-2.662,-3.094,P<0.05). Conclusions Chlorhexidine acetate disinfectant can decrease the infection rate of pin site in patients with calcaneal traction under closed nursing. It provides an effective nursing method for preventing the infection of pin site.

To understand the family sex education for young children in rural areas of Sichuan province and analyze the influencing factors. A multi-stage random sampling method was used to select 2246 parents of kindergarten children from rural areas in Sichuan province for a questionnaire-based survey.The Chi-square test and Logistic regression model were used for data analysis. It was found 1132(52.33%)parents had implemented family sex education for young children and 1031(47.67%)had not.Young children having asked sex-related questions(=1.536,95%=1.257-1.878),parents thinking that early childhood sex education is necessary(=3.691,95%=2.029-6.717),and parents having the intention to know early childhood sex education(=1.700,95%=1.274-2.269),and kindergarten having implemented early childhood sex education(=3.316,95%=2.515-4.372)were promoting factors for parents to conduct early childhood sex education,whereas a total annual household income at the middle level(=0.664,95%=0.456-0.968)was a hindering factor for parents to conduct early childhood sex education. Parents of young children in rural areas of Sichuan province have poor awareness of sex education,and the proportion of parents who have never conducted sex education for children is high.The total annual income of the family,whether the children have asked about sex-related questions,parents' attitude towards early childhood sex education,and whether the kindergarten has conducted the early childhood sex education are important factors that influence the level of children's family sex education.

OBJECTIVERett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder occurring almost exclusively in females as sporadic cases due to de novo mutations in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene (MECP2). Familial cases of RTT are rare and are due to X-chromosomal inheritance from a carrier mother. Recently, DNA mutations in the MECP2 have been detected in approximately 84.7% of patients with RTT in China. To explain the sex-limited expression of RTT, it has been suggested that de novo X-linked mutations occur exclusively in male germ cells resulting therefore only in affected daughters. To test this hypothesis, we have analyzed the parental origin of mutations and the XCI status in 15 sporadic cases with RTT due to MECP2 molecular defects.

METHODSAllele-specific PCR was performed to amplify a fragment including the position of the mutation. The allele-specific PCR products were sequenced to determine which haplotype contained the mutation. It was then possible to determine the parent of origin by genotyping the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the parents. The degree of XCI and its direction relative to the X chromosome parent of origin were measured in DNA prepared from peripheral blood leucocytes by analyzing CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene (AR).

RESULTSExcept for 2 cases who had a frameshift mutation; all the remaining 13 cases had a C-->T transition mutation. Paternal origin has been determined in all cases with the C-->T transition mutation. For the two frameshift mutations, paternal origin has been determined in one case and maternal origin in the other. The frequency of male germ-line transmission in mutations is 93.3%. Except for 2 cases who were homozygotic at the AR locus, of the remaining 13 cases, 8 cases had a random XCI pattern; the other five cases had a skewed XCI pattern and they favor expression of the maternal origin allele.

CONCLUSIONDe novo mutations in sporadic RTT occur almost exclusively on the paternally derived X chromosome and that this is most probably the cause for the high female: male ratio observed in sporadic cases with RTT. Random XCI was the main XCI pattern in sporadic RTT patients. The priority inactive X chromosome was mainly of paternal origin.

OBJECTIVEAbout 30% of autistic cases experience developmental regression around 2 years of age. The clinical course and manifestations of autistic children with regression remain unclear. This study investigated the clinical features of a group of autistic children with regression.

METHODSOne hundred and fifty-two children at ages of 2.5-6.5 years confirmed with autism based on DSM-IV diagnostic criteria were enrolled. They were grouped according to language development: normal or regression. The perinatal history, developmental history and characteristics of regression were investigated. The symptoms were compared between the two groups.

RESULTSRegressions were observed in 33 children (21.7%) at age of between 16 and 21 months, with loss both in communicative skills and social engagement. The regressive group was scored significantly higher on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) (P<0.05) and had a relatively higher proportion of severely ill children (66.7% vs 45.4%; P<0.05)compared with the non-regressive group.

CONCLUSIONSRegression as a characteristic symptom occurs in some autistic children and is of value for diagnosis of autism. The autistic children with regression display more severe social and language impairments than those without regression. Regressive autism may be a special subtype.
