<sec><title>Objectives</title><p>Gastrointestinal disorders caused by <italic>Salmonella enterica</italic> serovar Enteritidis (<italic>Se</italic>sE) are a significant health problem around the globe. Probiotic bacteria have been shown to have positive effects on the immune responses. <italic>Lactobacillus acidophilus</italic> was examined for its capability to influence the innate immune response of HT29 intestinal epithelial cells towards <italic>Se</italic>sE.

Objectives
In an attempt α-amylase gene from <i>Pyrococcus woesei</i> was amplified and cloned into a pTYB2 vector to generate the recombinant plasmid pTY- α-amylase. Methods
<i>Escherichia coli</i> BL21 used as a host and protein expression was applied using IPTG. SDS-PAGE assay demonstrated the 100 kDa protein. Amylolytic activity of proteins produced by transformed <i>E. coli</i> cells was detected by zymography, and the rate of active α-amylase with and without the intein tag in both soluble conditions and as inclusion bodies solubilized by 4M urea were measured. Results
Amylolytic activity of ∼185,000 U/L of bacterial culture was observed from the soluble form of the protein using this system. Conclusion
These results indicate that this expression system was appropriate for the production of thermostable α-amylase.

Objectives
Many studies based on microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles showed a new aspect of cancer classification. Because one characteristic of miRNA expression data is the high dimensionality, feature selection methods have been used to facilitate dimensionality reduction. The feature selection methods have one shortcoming thus far: they just consider the problem of where feature to class is 1:1 or n:1. However, because one miRNA may influence more than one type of cancer, human miRNA is considered to be ranked low in traditional feature selection methods and are removed most of the time. In view of the limitation of the miRNA number, low-ranking miRNAs are also important to cancer classification. Methods
We considered both high- and low-ranking features to cover all problems (1:1, n:1, 1:n, and m:n) in cancer classification. First, we used the correlation-based feature selection method to select the high-ranking miRNAs, and chose the support vector machine, Bayes network, decision tree, k-nearest-neighbor, and logistic classifier to construct cancer classification. Then, we chose Chi-square test, information gain, gain ratio, and Pearson's correlation feature selection methods to build the m:n feature subset, and used the selected miRNAs to determine cancer classification. Results
The low-ranking miRNA expression profiles achieved higher classification accuracy compared with just using high-ranking miRNAs in traditional feature selection methods. Conclusion
Our results demonstrate that the m:n feature subset made a positive impression of low-ranking miRNAs in cancer classification.
