nisZ启动子结构与功能的研究

应用βGlucuronidase基因(gusA)作为报告基因,通过定点突变方法分别缺失nisZ编码区上游两个启动子结构(promoter1和promoter2)中的一个,发现只有靠近编码区的promoter2是nisZ启动子诱导表达所必需。将promoter2中10区及其上游的一个碱基突变为乳酸菌中典型的组成型启动子的10区结构,该改变使nisZ启动子诱导功能下降;将promoter2的10区和35区的间隔区由20个碱基缺失突变为17个碱基,则nisZ启动子失去诱导功能。据此认为该间隔区的结构与nisZ启动子的诱导表达密切相关。     

A combined A431 cell membrane chromatography and online high performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry method for screening compounds from total alkaloid of Radix Caulophylli acting on the human EGFR

We have developed an online analytical method that combines A431 cell membrane chromatography (A431/CMC) with high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for identifying active components from Radix Caulophylli acting on human EGFR. Retention fractions on A431/CMC model were captured onto an enrichment column and the components were directly analyzed by combining a 10-port column switcher with an LC/MS system for separation and preliminary identification. Using Sorafenib tosylate as a positive control, taspine and caulophine from Radix Caulophylli were identified as the active molecules which could act on the EGFR. This A431/CMC-online-LC/MS method can be applied for screening active components acting on EGFR from traditional Chinese medicines exemplified by Radix Caulophylli and will be of great utility in drug discovery using natural medicinal herbs as a source of novel compounds.     

福建红曲醋中产酸菌株的分离及鉴定

添加含有高浓度乙醇的红曲酒至福建传统红曲醋醋母中富集产酸菌株,采用高浓度乙醇平板,依据溶解圈指标从福建传统红曲醋液体循环工艺样品中分离出7株产酸菌株。综合菌株形态、生理生化实验以及16S r DNA序列测定等信息,确定这7株菌株分类地位为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)α-变形菌纲(Alphaproteobacteria)红螺菌目(Rhodospirillales)醋酸菌科(Acetobacteraceae)葡糖酸醋杆菌属(Gluconacetobacter),其中菌株Y5052、Y5054、Y5072、Y5092鉴定为斯氏葡糖酸醋杆菌(Gluconacetobacter swingsii);菌株Y5032、Y5033、Y5071鉴定为欧洲葡糖酸醋杆菌(Gluconacetobacter europaeus)。测定这些菌株的产酸能力,菌株Y5052产酸量最低,7 d达15 g/L;菌株Y5054产酸能力最强,7 d产酸量达57.0 g/L。     

生物化学检验技术实验教学与开放式综合实验设计初步效果探讨

目的:探讨生物化学检验技术实验教学(Experimental biochemistry inspection teaching,EBIT)与开放式综合实验设计(Open comprehensive experiment design,OCED)的初步效果,为EBIT教学提供新型选择方案。方法:选择2012届我们所带教医学检验专业的2个班级111例学生作为研究对象,分别归入观察组和对照组,其中观察组56例,对照组55例。对照组EBIT中予以传统的模式,观察组则采用OCED模式。对比两组实验成绩、教学效果的满意度。结果:观察组的合格率显著高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。观察组对教学效果的满意度显著高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:OCED方式应用于EBIT过程中,可获得较好的教学效果,值得推荐。     

应用siRNA干扰胃癌的研究进展

胃癌是消化系统最常见的恶性肿瘤,而我国是胃癌高发区,其发病率和死亡率均高于世界平均水平。在我国大多数患者明确诊断时已进入进展期,所以大多数患者再行手术切除后还需放化疗治疗。近来随着对胃癌的研究深入,可通过对胃癌肿瘤标本行分子检测给予患者药物靶向治疗,实现个体化治疗。RNA干涉(RNAi)技术被广泛用于基因功能的研究,并且在哺乳动物研究中得到飞速发展.si RNA是在RNAi中起中心作用,其可抑制特定m RNA,以调节不同蛋白在肿瘤发生时的异常表达。对si RNA的研究将为胃癌的基因治疗供更广阔的空间。
