Objective To construct a recombinant live attenuated Salmonella typhimurium nucleic acid vaccine carrying Helicobacter pylori ( H. pylori ) hpaA gene and to detect its immunogenicity. Methods hpaA gene fragment was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the genomic DNA of the standard H. pylori strain and cloned into pUCmT vector. DNA sequence of the amplified hpaA gene was assayed,then cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pIRES through enzyme digestion and ligation reactions. The recombinant plasmid was used to transform Escherichia coli DH5?,and the positive clones were screened with PCR reaction and restriction enzyme digestion. Then,the recombinant pIRES-hpaA was transformed to LB5000,then the recombinant plasmid was transformed to SL7207,and the recombinant strain was passaged repeatedly. Finally,recombinant pIRES-hpaA was transfected to COS-7 cells with Lipofectamine TM 2000. The immunogenicity of expressed hpaA protein was determined with SDS-PAGE Western blot. Results The hpaA gene fragment of the 750 base pair was amplified from the genomic DNA,and it was consistent with the sequence of the H. pylori hpaA by sequence analysis. It was confirmed by PCR and restriction enzyme digestion that Helicobacter pylori hpaA gene was inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pIRES and a stable recombinant live attenuated Salmonella typhimurium nucleic acid vaccine carrying Helicobacter pylori hpaA gene was successfully constructed,and specific strip of hpaA expressed by pIRES-hpaA could be detected with Western blotting. Conclusion The recombinant attenuated Salmonella typhimurium nucleic acid vaccine strain expressing HpaA protein with immunogenicity was constructed,it might be helpful for further investigation concerning the immune action of the nucleic acid vaccine in vivo .

0. 05 ) . Conclusion The cagG gene of Hp was quite conservative, most of the Hp strains in Chinese patients were cagG positive, it has no specific predisposition to different disorders and shows no significant correlation to the extent of gastric mucosal inflammation. Therefore cagG can' t be served solely as a related pathogenic gene for certain diseases.

Objective To present the changing of the parameters of orbital volume after endoscopic transethmoid medial orbital wall decompression combined with the endoscopic transethmoid intraconal fat-removal orbital decompression in thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).Methods A retrospective chart was reviewed in 11 patients (20 eyes) receiving orbital decompression for the treatment of exophthalmos secondary to TAO from September 2014 to August 2015. All patients diagnosed TAO were in stable and inactive phase at least for 6 months. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan were performed in all patients before and 3-month after surgery. CT scan of orbit and computer-aided measurement software were used to measure the exophthalmos. Changing of the parameters of orbital volume were recorded for analysis its relationship with the amount of proptosis reduction.Results The exophthalmos was signiifcantly decreased after surgery. Medial rectus volume, fat volume and orbital volume were larger postoperatively. The changing of rectus volume and fat volume both had negative correlationship with the amount of proptosis.Conclusions The thickening of medial rectus 3-month postoperative may due to the removing of medial wall of orbit during the surgery. The stimulation of the surgery may be another reason. The changing of rectus volume and fat volume both had negative correlationship with the amount of proptosis.

Objective To study the imaging findings of unexpected splenic autotransplantation after splenectomy and to improve diagnostic accuracy of splenic autotransplantation.Methods The findings of 10 patients with splenic autotransplantation confirmed by histology in our hospital were retrospectively reviewed.In 7 patients CT and plain and dynamic enhanced MRI scanning were carried out,and in 2 of them 99mTc-DRBC scanning were also done.In 3 patients,plain and dynamic enhanced CT scannings were done.Results (1) Multiple lesions were detected in 7 patients and a single lesion in 3 patients.The masses were round and oval.The nodules were in the splenic fossa in 9 patients,in the pancreatic tail in 4 patients,in the right liver in 2 patients and in other of parts of the abdominal cavity in 2 patients.These nodules varied in size and 94.6% showed a maximum diameter of less than 3 cm; (2) The findings on CT and MR:all the nodules were homogeneous with soft tissue density.There was no cystic degeneration,necrosis and calcification.In one patient with a nodule in the pancreatic tail,there was a slightly short T1 and short T2 signals.Other nodules showed long T1 and long T2 signals.All the signals from the nodules were homogeneous and their outlines were clear.In a patient with a nodule in the right liver,the blood supply came from the abdominal aorta.There was a surrounding thin layer of low-density ring which showed long T1 and long T2 signals.The enhanced features on CT and MR were similar.The nodules showed homogeneous or inhomogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase,with continuous homogeneous enhancement in the portal venous phase,with an obvious decline in the delayed phase;(3) The findings of 18 F-FDG PET:The nodules had obvious increase in FDG uptake.Conclusions In patients with a history of splenic trauma or splenectomy,abdominal nodules with multiple,homogeneous density or signal,clear outline,enhanced features similar to spleen,splenic autotransplantation should be considered.99mTc-DRBC scanning is helpful in the diagnosis of splenic autotransplantation.
