The codon was optimized for the bovine nebovirus(BNeV)VP1 gene and the recombi-nant plasmid pFastBac-Dual-VP1 was constructed,and BNeV-VP1 virus-like particles(VLPs)were prepared using a baculovirus expression system,and identified by Western blot,indirect im-munofluorescence and electron microscopy.Successfully validated VLPs were mixed with MF59 adjuvant and CpG-ODG,and mice were immunised by intramuscular injection and evaluated for immunity effects.The results showed that the optimized CAI(codon adaptation index)of VP1 gene was 0.93 and the GC content was 60.4%.The constructed recombinant plasmid was trans-formed into DH10Bac for blue-white spot screening,and after successful verification,it was trans-fected into SF9 cells to obtain recombinant baculovirus Baculo-BNeV-VP1.BNeV virus-like parti-cles with diameters ranging from 35 to 40 nm were observed under the electron microscope,and both IFA and Western blot experiments proved that the target proteins were successfully ex-pressed and biologically active,and protein optimisation revealed that the highest protein expres-sion was found at the infectious dose MOI=0.5.Mice were immunized by intramuscular injection after 50 μg of VLPs were mixed with MF59 adjuvant and CpG-ODN.The results showed that the VLPs immunization group produced IgG antibodies 7 days after the first dose,and the antibody ti-ter increased gradually,reaching a maximum of 1∶102 400,and declined at 35 d,but still main-tained a high level;The blocking titer BT50 is up to 640,which can induce the production of BNeV VP1-specific blocking antibody in mice.In this study,the baculovirus expression system was used to express the VP1 protein of BNeV,and BNeV VLPs were successfully constructed,which could induce humoral immune response in mice,which provided a reference for the follow-up research of BNeV vaccine.

Objective The HPLC fingerprints of different varieties of Tibetan medicine"Bangjian"were investigated to compare and analyse the differences in the chemical composition of different varieties and to further classify them,so as to provide reference for their quality control and safe clinical use.Methods HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints of the different species of"Bangjian",and UPLC-Q-TOF-MS method was used to analyse the similarities and differences of the chemical components of the mainstream species and to identify the characteristic peaks.Chemometrics methods were used for the analysis including cluster analysis(HCA),principal component analysis(PCA)and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA).Results A total of 11 chromatographic peaks were identified from 93 batches of"Bangjian"samples.The HCA and PCA methods were used to classify the 93 batches into 2 categories,and then OPLS-DA was used to classify them into 3 categories in more detail,while 4 main components were selected according to the principle of VIP>1.The results of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS and chemometric showed that the Tibetan medicine"Bangjian"could be divided into iridoids with benzoyl fragments represented by Gentiana szechenyii Kanitz and monocyclic iridoids represented by Gentiana veitchiorum Hemsl.according to their chemotypes.The latter could be divided into alpine gentian group subtype and multi-branch group ornate subtype according to the content of components.The results of the chemotypic classification proved that the traditional classification of the"Bangjian"has a material basis in science but were also flawed.Conclusion The present study demonstrates that the established HPLC fingerprint can be used to classify the"Bangjian"of the complex base elements effectively,which is expected to provide an effective reference for the improvement of quality standards of"Bangjian"and clinical safety medication.

Objective To study characteristics and current situation of physically restrains (PR) patients in ICU in third-level hospitals.Methods The physical restrains of ICU patients from January to June 2017 in a third-level hospital in Jiangsu Province was prospectively analyzed.Results The usage rate of physical restraint was 69.4%,and the usage number of restraint was 19 ~ 37.5,with median number of 19 times.The proportion of total restraints to total hospitalized restraint was 79.4%.The PR tools and restraint locations were single.The restraint complication occurred 78 times,with the complication rate of 45.7% (59/129).Conclusion ICU patients have higher body constraint usage,longer constraint time,higher incidence of complications.So the nurses need to strengthen PR-related education and training to reduce the PR usage and complications.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of COMMD7,a hepatocellular carcinoma gene,promoting human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HePG2 cells)proliferation and migration.Methods The specific siRNA (small interference RNA)was designed for COMMD7 gene,siRNA transfected HepG2 cells was set as Si-HePG2 group,and the PTEN inhibitor treating group (Si +BpV-HePG2),the control group (HePG2),the empty vector group (HePG2 was infected empty vector,N-HePG2 group)were also set up.qRT-PCR was per-formed to evaluate the mRNA expression changes of COMMD7 and PTEN,and Western blot was performed to test the expression changes of COMMD7,PTEN,p-AKT,and AKT.MSP method was performed to detect methylation level.CCK8 was performed to test cell proliferation a-bility.Transwell was performed to detect the invasion of cells.Results The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of COMMD7 gene in Si-HePG2 group was lower (0.101 times)than the control group and the N-HePG2 group,and the expression of PTEN gene was higher (2.841 times)than the control group and the N-HePG2 group,and all the results above were of statistically singificant difference (P <0.05). The results of Western blot showed that in Si-HePG2 group,the expression of COMMD7 reduced obviously,the expression of PTEN increased and the expression of p-AKT was significantly inhibited.In Si +Bpv-HePG2 group,the expression of PTEN was significantly inhibited and the expression of p-AKT was increased.The result of MSP showed that compared with the control group and the N-HePG2 group,Si-HePG2 group was more obviously demethylated,which indecated that the expression of COMMD7 gene could induce PTEN demethylation.The results of CCK8 showed that the proliferation in Si-HePG2 group was decreased compared with the control group,N-HePG2 group and Si +BpV-HePG2 group,and the difference was singificant (P <0.05).The results of Transwell showed that the numbers of cell permeating septum in Si-HePG2 group,N-HePG2 group,control group and PTEN group were (17.4 ±2.7),(36.2 ±3.2),(41.6 ±4.5)and (47.6 ±1.8)respec-tively,which were obviously decreased with a significant difference (P <0.05).Conclusion siRNA interference decreased the expression of COMMD7.It can induced the demethylation of PTEN gene in HePG2 and increase the expression of PTEN gene to inhibit PI3K/AKT signaling pathway,thus decreasing the proliferation,migration and invasion ability of HePG2 cells.

Objective To investigate the mRNA and protein expression levels of interferon(IFN)-?in the peripheral blood of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE),to analyze the relationship between IFN-?and disease activity,and to evaluate the role of IFN-?in the pathogenesis of lupus.Methods SYBR green dyeⅠbased real-time quantatives PCR method was used to compare the mRNA expression levels of IFN-?in the peripheral blood leucocyte of SLE patients and healthy controls.Surum levels of IFN-?were measured with ELISA method.Results IFNA1 mRNA expression level in SLE patients(2.8?3.5)was signifi- cantly lower than that of normal controls(12.7?10.7,P=0.000).There was no significant difference between patients treated with glucocorticoid and those without in the expression level of IFNA1(P=0.549).Serum levels of IFN-?in SLE patients was significantly higher than that of normal controls(P=0.003).The SLEDAI score and anti-dsDNA antibody correlated positively,and complement components C3,C4 and leukocytes correlated negatively with serum concentration of IFN-?.IFN-?level correlated with the presence of fever and rash. Conclusion The close relationship between IFN-?serum level and disease activity in SLE patients suggests that IFN-?might be of importance in the disease process.
