Objective:To prepare and test tetrameric sH-2K~d-HBc complex for the further measurement of the specific CTL response.Methods:PE labled streptavidin with 4 biotinylated binding sites can bind to 4 biotinylated monomer to form the corresponding tetramer.Mice were immunized via different methods of genetic immunization by use of the construted pcDNA3-C plasmid to get the specific CTLs.Then our prepared tetramer was applied to stain the specific CTLs by the analysis of flow cytometry.Results:We applied our prepared tetramer to stain the cells from the experimental groups and control group.The results showed the tetramer was able to discriminate the frequencies of specific CTL induced by the three immunol methods(0.24%,0.26%,0.36% vs 0.07%,P≤0.05).This demonstrated that the prepared tetramer could bind its targets specifically and efficiently.The three immunol methods induced different levels of immune responses.Compared with the traditional muscle injection,gene gun induced weaker humoral immune response and stronger cellular immune response,and hydrodynamic injection induced the strongest humoral and cellular immune responses.Conclusion:Have successfully constructed the sH-2K~d-HBc tetramer.The techniques and methods can be used for preparation of tetramers of other types of MHCⅠ molecules.

BACKGROUND: Senile intertrochanteric fracture is characterized as aging, instability, more complications and high mortality, so choosing an appropriate internal fixation method is critical.OBJECTIVE: To compare the curative efficacy of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and locking proximal femoral plate for senile osteoporotic patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS: Sixty elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were enrolled, and the clinical data were collected. They were randomized into treatment and control groups (n=30 per group), and subjected to internal fixation using proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and locking proximal femoral plate, respectively. The operative indexes,functional recovery and complications were observed in the two groups RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and time of weight bearing in the treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group (P < 0.01). (2) Harris hip scores in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The incidence of complications in the treatment group was obviously lower than that in the control group. (4) To conclude, the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation exhibits satisfactory treatment outcomes in the internal fixation of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.

In order to study the correlation between microbial diversity and the pollution degrees of the ruraldrinking water in Dongjiang River basin. Five types of drinking water of this basin were collected,and fifteen water samples of five types of drinking water of this basin had been collected from reservoir,centralized water supply wells,wells in the vicinity of pig farms,wells nearby embankment and wells in villages. The six(physical,chemical,and biological) property indices of water samples were tested,at the same time,the DGGE analysis was done. The results of PCR-DGGE fingerprint indicated that bacterial richness of these drinking water samples were high,and different samples in fingerprint were different distinctively. The UPGMA dendrogram of sample basis on DGGE fingerprints showed the structure of different types of bacteria in drinking water in rural communities is obvious differences. And the results of CCA showed that the concentration of phosphorous has the largest relevance to the community structure of bacteria in water samples,followed by the concentration of nitrogen in the water. Ten typical bands were excised and sequenced. The sequences obtained were affiliated with Spirochaetes,Cyanobacteria,Proteobacteria,Actinobacteria,Acidobacteria.

Objective To evaluate the medium and long term safety and efficacy of sacrospinous ligament fixation (SSLF) performed with conventional instruments in treating stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pelvic organ prolapse (POP).Methods A prospective cohort analysis was conducted in the Peking Union Medical College Hospital,between May 2007 and June 2015,enrolling 55 women with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ POP who intended to receive SSLF.Primary end points were objective success rates using pelvic organ prolapse quantitation system (POP-Q) and subjective satisfaction rates with questionnaires after surgery according to vaginal examination and related questionnaires for all patients who received SSLF eventually.Exploratory outcomes included perioperative parameters and complications.Results Of these 55 POP patients enrolled,52 (95％,52/55) received SSLF using conventional surgical instruments,the other 3 cases converted to ischial spinous fascia fixation due to difficulty exposing.Medium blood loss during operation was 100 ml (20-300 ml) and operative time 60 minutes (20-165 minutes).Pelvic hematoma with diameters of 5 cm and 7 cm were observed in two patients,both recovered fully with conservative methods.All patients were able to micturate spontaneously after catheter withdrawal.One patient reported right thigh pain after operation which remained till 3-month follow-up and relieved after physiotherapy.The objective success rate was 100％ (52/52) at 3 months.With a medium follow-up time of 23.7 months,the objective success rate was 98％ (51/52),the recurrence rate was 2％ (1/52) and the satisfactory rate was 94％ (49/52).De novo urinary incontinence occurred in 6％ (3/52) of patients.Conclusion Most POP could be corrected with SSLF using conventional instruments which is a feasible,economic and effective procedure for Asian patients with medium compartment prolapse.

The modern surgical treatment of cervical degenerative disc disease can be traced back to the advent of anterior cervical decompression and fusion.With the emergence of fusion-related complications,different scholars have promoted the gradual transformation of cervical degenerative disc diseases from "fusion fixation" to "non-fusion reconstruction" through in-depth fusion with materials science,engineering mechanics and other disciplines.The innovation of this treatment concept is consistent with the original intention of "structural remodeling,functional reconstruction,maximum repair and reconstruction of the morphology and function of skeletal muscle system" in orthopedic bionic treatment,which is essentially in line with the "bionic alternative therapy" in orthopedic bionic therapy.This paper focuses on the surgical treatment of cervical degenerative disc diseases,reviews the development history of artificial cervical disc replacement,analyzes the evolution from orthopedic biomimetic therapy,and explores a new direction for the design of artificial cervical disc prostheses and the treatment of cervical degenerative disc diseases in the future.

Objective:To investigate the effect of early ambulation time on lower limbs muscle strength and fear of falling in patients with total knee arthroplasty, so as to provide basis for promoting the postoperative rehabilitation of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 210 patients after unilateral total knee replacement from July 2018 to December 2019 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were included and assigned to experimental group 1, experimental group 2 and experimental group 3 by random digits table method, each group contained 70 cases, and the patients began ambulation at 16, 20, 24 hours after knee replacement, respectively. The peak torque (PT) of knee joints flexors and extensor as well as hamstrings quadriceps ratio (H/Q) were compared among three groups at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after knee replacement. The fall efficiency was evaluted by Modified Fall Efficacy Scale (MFES), the fear of falling rate was conducted by single item method.Results:After 1 month of knee replacement, the PT of knee joints flexor and extensor and H/Q were (18.73±5.49) N·m, (37.56±7.76) N·m, (48.08±9.19)% and (18.44±5.27) N·m, (37.04±7.07) N·m, (47.49±9.30)% in the experimental group 1 and experimental group 2, which were higher than those in the experimental group 3(16.38±2.85) N·m, (33.75±6.75) N·m, (43.48±7.17)%, the differences were statically significant ( t values were 2.316-3.057, P<0.05). After 1 week of knee replacement, the fear of falling rate were 72.3%(47/65) and MFES scores were (3.14±0.58) points in the experimental group 1, 53.7%(36/67), (3.81±0.65) points and 50.8%(32/63), (3.87±0.74) points in the experimental group 2 and experimental group 3, the fear of falling rate significantly increased and MFES scores significantly decreased in the experimental group 1 compared to the experimental group 2 and experimental group 3, the differences were statistically significant ( χ2 values were 5.780, 4.878, t values were 6.221, 6.129, P<0.05). Conclusions:Twenty hours after knee replacement is the best time for ambulation, which can shortern the time for lower limbs muscle strength recovery and reduce the risk of fear of falling.

Objective To detect the expressions of Matrix Metalloprotein-11 ( MMP-11 ) and Cathepsin-D(Cath-D),and investigate their relationship and prognostic significance. Methods The study included 95 cases′ clinical date and postoperative specimens of gastric adenocarcinoma ( North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital,2010. 01-2013. 12) as observation group,70 cases of normal gastric tissue(from observation group) as control group. Expressions of MMP-11 and Cath-D were detected by IHC methods in two groups. Results The positive rate of MMP-11 was 51. 6%( 49/95) in observation group,5. 7%(4/70)in control group(χ2＝38. 884,P＜0. 05). The positive rate of Cath-D was 73. 7%(70/95) in observation group,28. 6%(20/70) in control group(χ2＝33. 082,P＜0. 05). The positive rate of MMP-11 was correlated with metastasis and vascular invasion(χ2＝7. 193、15. 566,P＜0. 05). The positive rate of Cath-D was correlated with maximal diameter,lymph node metastasis,vascular invasion and proliferation index(χ2＝7.431、5.654、6.569、6.801,P＜0.05).There was positive relationship between MMP-11 and Cath-D in observation group(r＝0. 46,P＜0. 05). The expressions of MMP-11 and Cath-D were correlated with prognosis in gastric adenocarcinoma ( P＜0. 05) . Conclusion The higher expressions and synergistic effect of MMP-11 and Cath-D may promote the occurrence and development in gastric adenocarcinoma. The joint detection of MMP-11 and Cath-D may be helpful to predict the prognosis of gastric adenocarcinoma.
