[Method] Four cultivars of Cerasus, Early-mahapphala, Red light, Lapins and Kashgar Kukan were selected as the experimental materials, and the changes of the relative electric conductivity (REC), proline (PRO) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, superoxide dismu-tase (SOD) activity and peroxidase (POD) activity of dormant branches of the four cherry cultivars under low temperature stress were investigated. [Result] The REC of the four cherry cultivars was Kashgar kukan 〉 Red light 〉 Early-mahapphala 〉Lapins, while the MDA content was Kashgar kukan 〉 Early-mahapphala 〉 Red light 〉Lapins, both showed a rising trend in the four cultivars with the aggravating of the low temperature stress. The PRO content, POD and SOD activities of al cultivars were precisely contrary to their REC and MDA content, as al of them exhibited a sequence as Lapins 〉 Red light 〉 Early-mahapphala 〉 Kashgar kukan in al culti-vars, and got a trend of first rising and then declining. [Conclusion] Therefore, our final evaluation of cold resistance of the four cherry cultivars was Lapins 〉 Red light 〉 Early-mahapphala 〉 Kashgar kukan.展开更多

The genes of chicken interleukin-2 (ChIL-2) and IBDV viral protein 2 (VP2) were amplified and fused by splice overlap extension-polymerase chain reaction (SOE-PCR). The fusion gene was digested by EcoR I/Kpn I and inserted into pBacPAK8 vector, resulting in recombinant transfer plasmid pBacPakVP2-IL2. The recombinant plasmid was transfected into Sf-9 cells accompanied with hybrid nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HyNPV) genome DNA and lipofectin. Plaque-purification indicated that we had got the recombinant Hy-VP2-IL2. Fusion protein VP2-IL2 was expressed effectively both in insect cells and bombyx mori. The expression of fusion protein was confirmed by ELISA, SDS-PAGE and Western blotting assay, respectively. This efficient system allows us to meet the need for inexpensive vaccines required by the poultry industry. Cellular & Molecular Immunology. 2005;2(3):231-235.展开更多

文摘目的 探讨不同助听模式的语前聋儿童听觉言语康复效果、家庭生活质量及两者间的相关性。方法 选取2020年3月至2020年7月在安徽医科大学第一附属医院行人工耳蜗植入术的语前聋儿童75例,其中58例符合纳排标准且连续随访1年而被纳入研究,按助听模式将儿童分为单侧人工耳蜗植入组(CI)21例,双耳双模式组(CI+HA)8例,双侧人工耳蜗植入组(BCI)29例。采用听觉能力分级标准(categories of auditory performance,CAP)评分、言语可懂度分级标准(speech intelligibility rate,SIR)评分、父母版言语空间特性量表(speech,spatial and qualities of hearing scale-parent's version,SSQ-P)评分及听力植入体儿童的家庭生活质量表(children using hearing implants quality of life,CuHI Qol)评估患儿听觉言语能力和家庭生活质量。结果 术前CI组、CI+HA组、BCI组CAP评分、SIR评分、SSQ-P评分比较,差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);术后3、6、12个月BCI组CAP评分、SIR评分、SSQ-P评分均高于CI+HA组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05);CI+HA组CAP评分、SIR评分、SSQ-P评分均高于CI组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。CI组、CI+HA组、BCI组言语感知评分、空间听力评分、听力音质评分、SSQ-P评分组间效应、时间效应、交互效应比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。随时间延长,CI组、CI+HA组、BCI组SSQ-P评分均呈逐渐递增趋势。CI组、CI+HA组、BCI组不同时间点CuHI Qol评分时间效应比较,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05),但组间效应、交互效应比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05)。随时间推移,CI组、CI+HA组、BCI组家庭生活质量也越来越高。术后6个月,BCI组家庭生活质量最高,术后12个月,CI+HA组家庭生活质量评分上升明显。CuHI Qol评分与CAP评分、SIR评分、SSQ-P评分呈正相关,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 BCI具备双耳信息整合功能,空间听力优势较双耳双模式及单侧CI更明显,是极佳的助听补偿方式。术后听觉言语康复效果越好,家庭生活质量也越高。
