To construct a recombinant Bacillus subtilis strain expressing SpaA and CbpB of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae for oral administration, we constructed the recombinant plasmid pDG1730-CBJA by fusion PCR and seamless cloning. The plasmid was introduced into B. subtilis KC strain by natural transformation, and the recombinant strain KC-spaA-cbpB was screened out on the plate containing spectinomycin (sper) and confirmed by PCR and starch degradation test. The SpaA and CbpB expressed by KC-spaA-cbpB were detected by Western blotting and indirect immunofluorescence assay, and the genetic stability of the recombinant strain in mice was determined. The plasmid pMAD-∆sper with knockout of sper was constructed and transformed into KC-spaA-cbpB. The sper-deleted mutant strain KC-spaA-cbpB: : ∆sper was screened and identified, and its immunogenicity in a mouse model was evaluated by oral immunization. The results showed that the recombinant strain KC-spaA-cbpB was stable in mice, expressing SpaA on the cell surface and CbpB on the spore surface. KC-spaA-cbpB: : ∆sper expressed SpaA and CbpB. The mice vaccinated with the spores of KC-spaA-cbpB: : ∆sper had higher levels of SpaA and CbpB-specific IgG in the serum that those vaccinated with the wild-type spores 42 days after vaccination by gavage (P < 0.01). The protective rate of mice immunized with the recombinant spores was 67.5%. The results indicated that a recombinant B. subtilis strain expressing SpaA and CbpB of E. rhusiopathiae was successfully constructed, and the recombinant strain laid a foundation for the development of oral live vector vaccines for swine erysipelas.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy and safety and complications of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate ( PKRP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia ( BPH) .Methods Totally 186 BPH patients were underwent PKRP .Comparison of clinical parameters before and after operation .Results Following-up at 3 and 6 months after the operation showed that international prostate symptom score ( IP-SS),quality of life(QQL),residual urine volume(RUV) scores increased and maximal urinary flow rate ( Qmax) scores decreased .The incidence of complications was 8.2%.Conclusion PKRP have efficacy in the treatment of BPH , and PKRP is safer and less complications .

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between gastric polyps and Helicobacter pylori infection.METHODS The patients with gastric polyps were taken by gastroendoscopy in 2005.The tissues from their antrums were examined for presence of H.pylori.We collected and analyzed all of their general information and the data about their gastric polyps and H.pylori infection condition.RESULTS In the 95 gastric polyps patients,76 cases(80.0%) had inflammatory polyps and 19 cases(20.0%) had H.polyps.The total H.pylori infection rate was 33.7%.The H.pylori infection rate in the inflammatory polyps patients and H.pylori patients were 38.2% and 15.8%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS H.pylori infection promotes the formation of gastric inflammatory polyps.The examination and treatment for H.pylori is necessary for the gastric polyps patients.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of forkhead transcription factor p3(Foxp3) in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis(AR).METHODS Nasal tissues and peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs) were obtained from 17 patients with AR and 11 controls.Foxp3 was detected in nasal tissues by immunohistochemisry and real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Foxp3 and CD4+CD25+T cells were evaluated in PBMCs by using ? ow cytometry.RESULTS The numbers of Foxp3+ cells was(44.2?20.5)cells/mm2 and(129.5? 35.6)cells/mm2 in nasal mucosa of two groups(P

Objective To study the toxicity and its mechanism of Radix Aconitii from genetic and molecular levels.Methods According to the requirements of ICH,the acute toxicity experiment was carried out under the condition of SPF by ig administration of the decoction of Radix Aconitii to mice.Gene expression profiling was used to describe whole-genome of five organs in mice,the related data were analyzed by using bioinformatics statistics,such as Cluster,GO,and Pathway,and the results were validated through quantitative PCR.Results The effects of Radix Aconitii on the key genes of the Focal adhesion pathway of mice,such as ECM,FAK,Cdc42,were remarkably.Conclusion The reason why Radix Aconitii produces the toxicity is probably that Radix Aconiti could cause the toxicity of Focal adhesion signal pathway through influencing the key genes.
