Objective:To prepare and screen monoclonal antibodies against Herpes simplex virus-1(HSV-1),and develop a double antibody sandwich quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay( Q-ELISA) for detection of HSV-1 particle. This method was used to control the quality of viral particle in the developing and manufacturing process of HSV-1. Methods: BALB/c mice was immunized with HSV-1 to prepare monoclonal antibodies. A double antibody sandwich Q-ELISA was developed to determine concentration of HSV-1 particle,which was based on the neutralizing monoclonal antibody 1F6 as capture antibody,and 2B1 as HRP-conjugated antibody. The performance of the reagent was evaluated,including specificity,sensitivity,precision,accuracy and linear. And the relation between the amount of virus detected by this method and the virus titer was analyzed by regression analysis method. Results: The Q-ELISA for HSV-1 particle was developed. The quantitation scope was 0. 125-2 μg/ml, the coefficient correlation was 0. 995 5, the limit of detection was 0. 125 μg/ml, the recovery was between 85. 6% and 107. 1%, the variation coefficient was lower than 10%, and the reagent does not react with other samples except HSV-1 antigen. This method has a good correlation with virus titer. Conclusion:The Q-ELISA for HSV-1 particle was successfully developed,which provide a new approach for rapid and quantitative detection of HSV-1 antigen.

Objective]To explore the metastasis regulatory of lymph node of papillary thyroid cancer and to analyze the influence factors.[Methods]Clinical data of 375 papillary thyroid cancer patients at our hospital between Jun 2011 and Sep 2015 were retrospectively reviewed and summarized the metastasis regulatory of lymph nodes and the tumor characteristics.[Results]All selected patients were diagnosed papillary thyroid cancer. The Total metastasis rate of cervical lymph node was 67.47%,the metastasis rate of region Ⅵ lymph nodes was 64.27%;the metastasis rate of region Ⅱ~Ⅴ lymph nodes was 36.53%. The metastasis rate of lymph nodes of the patients with tumor diameter over 1 cm,breaking through thyroid membrane and invading the cervical muscle were significantly increased(P < 0.05).[Conclusion]The central group lymph nodes were the most metastasis region of papillary thyroid cancer and should routinely be dissected by the first time of surgery. When the tumor diameter greater than 1 cm or cancer breakthrough thyroid membrane and/or invading the cervical muscles ,the ipsilateral lateral neck lymph nodes should be dissected at the same time.

BACKGROUND: The real mechanism of systemic sclerosis is still not clear, it is found clinically that there are psychological stress factors of different forms before the attack.OBJECTIVE: To deeply investigate the psychosocial factors in patients with systemic sclerosis, and primarily analyze the role of psychological stress factors by comparing with national norms and controls as well as combining with clinical immunological test.DESIGN: A controlled observation.SETTING: The experiments were carried out in the Department of Geriatrics, the First Hospital Affiliated to Medical College, Zhejiang University and the Department of Surgery, Hangzhou Tongji Hospital.PARTICIPANTS: Between December 2002 and September 2005. 26 patients with systemic sclerosis (systemic sclerosis group), who received thoracic duct lymph drainage therapy, and 30 inpatients with chronic gastritis(control group) were selected from the same disease area of the Department of Internal Medicine, the First Hospital of Medical College, Zhejiang University.METHODS: All the patients filled the general information inventory, the contents included were age, gender, main symptoms, disease course, special examination, diagnosis and drug therapy. The psychosocial scale was used to evaluate the psychosocial factors. Life event scale (LES) was used to assess the life events stress, including profession, learning, marriage and love, family and child, economics, justice, interpersonal relationship and other common life events. The simplified coping style questionnaire (SCSQ)was applied to assess the coping styles, including 8 main components: confrontation, indifference, self-control, seeking help, self-blame, escape, planning and reassessment, and then the habitual coping styles were divided into negative ones and positive ones. The Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) was used to evaluate the personality characters, it consisted of4 subscales: extraversion-introversion scale, neuroticism scale, psychoticism scale, lie and cover up scale. The fasting blood samples (3 mL) were drawn from the patients to detect serum levels of immunoglobulin G (IgG), immunoglobulin A (IgA) immunoglobulin M (IgM) and complement C3 with immunoturbidimetry, and the correlations between IgG and other factors were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The evaluative results of psychosocial scale and results of clinical immunological detection were mainly observed.RESULTS: All the 56 patients finished the scale survey and immunological detection, and all were involved in the analysis of results. The total number of life events, number of negative events and LEU value of negative events in LES were all significantly greater in the systemic sclerosis group than in the control group. For the coping style, the dimension of positive coping was less but that of negative coping was more in the systemic sclerosis group than in the control group. For EPQ, the scores of extraversion-introversion were lower but the scores of neuroticism in both males and females in the systemic sclerosis group were higher than in the control group and norms. For the immunological detection, the levels of lgG, lgA and lgM were all higher in the systemic sclerosis group than in the control group, but C3 level had insignificant difference between the two groups.IgG had negative correlations with the number of negative events, dimension of negative coping and the score of extraversion-introversion in EPQ.CONCLUSION: Patients with systemic sclerosis have obvious psychological stress, negative coping style, unstable mood and abnormal humoral immune function. Psychosocial stress has influence on immunology, it is indicated that psychological stress is closely correlated with the attack of systemic sclerosis.

AIM:To investigate the role of phospholipase C epsilon 1 ( PLCE1 ) in modulating the apoptotic mechanism in lung adenocarcinoma A 549 cells.METHODS:PLCE1 inhibitor U-73122 was used to suppress the expres-sion of PLCE1.The expression of PLCE1 and p53 in A549 cells was evaluated by quantitative real-time PCR and Western blotting.Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry .RESULTS:A549 cells expressed high level of PLCE1 and low level of p53.Inhibition of PLCE1 markedly increased the expression of p 53, and increased the apoptosis of A 549 cells.CON-CLUSION:PLCE1 suppresses apoptosis of A549 cells via inhibiting the expression of p53.

Objective To review the diagnosis and treatment of severe complications after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods Clinical data of 15 patients with severe complications after TACE of HCC in Department of General Surgery, Lingnan Hospital, the Third Afifliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June 2011 to May 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the ethics committee approval was received. There were 12 males and 3 females with age ranging from 40 to 78 years old and the median age of 55 years old. Results Manifestations of cholangitis such as abdominal pain, fever, rising white blood cell etc. were observed in all the patients. According to the clinical manifestations, history of receiving TACE and imaging examinations, 10 cases were diagnosed with biloma after TACE of HCC, 4 cases with liver abscess and 1 case with ischemic cholangitis. All the patients received basic treatments of anti-infection, cholagogue and liver protection. Ten cases with biloma were cured after receiving ultrasound-guided percutaneous transcatheter drainage of biloma, percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) and endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD). Four cases with liver abscess were cured after receiving ultrasound-guided percutaneous transcatheter drainage of liver abscess, local douche with antibiotics. One case with ischemic cholangitis received drainage of 3 catheters of PTCD and the serum bilirubin went down from 500μmol/L to 300μmol/L, but gave up treatment ifnally because of complicating severe biliary infection and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Conclusions The diagnosis of severe complications after TACE of HCC is mainly based on the clinical manifestations, history of receiving TACE and imaging examinations. The therapies include basic treatments of anti-infection, cholagogue and liver protection etc., and symptomatic treatments of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage, PTCD, ENBD, etc.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors of portal vein thrombosis (PVT) after splenectomy in patients with portal hypertension.MethodsClinical data of 67 patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension undergoing splenectomy + endoscopicvariceal ligation in Lingnan Hospital, the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between March 2012 and April 2015 were retrospectively studied. Among the 67 patients, 47 were males and 20 were females with the average age of (47±8) years old. Thirty-five patients underwent laparoscopic splenectomy and 32 patients underwent open splenectomy. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval had been received. The patients were divided into the PVT group and the non-PVT group according to whether PVT developed after surgery. The influencing factors of PVT in two groups were compared. The comparison of the influencing factors of PVT was conducted usingt test or chi-square test.ResultsEleven cases developed PVT after splenectomy with the incidenceof 16% (11/67) including 6 cases of laparoscopic splenectomy and 5 of open splenectomy. The incidence of PVT was associated with Plt and the concentration of D-dimer in blood circulation. Blood Plt of the PVT group was (739±39) ×109/L, which was significantly higher than (318±51)×109/L of the non-PVT group (t=14.678,P<0.05). The concentration of D-dimer of the PVT group was (7.4±1.1) mg/L, which was significantly higher than (4.0±0.9) mg/L of the non-PVT group (t=5.458, P<0.05). The incidence of PVT was not associated with surgical procedure (χ2=0.028,P>0.05).Conclusion The incidence of PVT after splenectomy is associated with Plt and the concentration of D-dimer and is not associated with surgical procedure.
