Objective To evaluate the protective effect of taurine on renal injury induced by high energy shock wave in rabbits.Methods Twenty rabbits were divided into the experimental (n=10)and the control group (n=10) at random.Both the groups were exposed to 1500 shock waves at 12.75 KV.In the experimental group, taurine (150 mg/kg) was given intravenously during the shock, while normal saline was given in the controls. Malondialdehyde(MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in serum were measured and the histological changes, the expression of heat shock protein 70(HSP70) in kidney were determined 3 days after the shocks.Results The level of MDA was(2.2±0.4) ,(2.1±0.4)mmol/L, and the level of SOD was (56.4±9.9) ,(55.8±10.1)μU/L respectively in the experimental and the control group before the shock.There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0. 05). After the shock, the level of MDA and SOD was (2.7±0.7)mmol/L, (55.3±5.7)μU/L respectively in the experimental group. There was no significant difference(P＞0.05) compared with the level of before the shock's. While in the control group, the level of MDA and SOD was (5. 7±0. 7) mmol/L, (33. 3±3. 5)μU/L respectively.There was significant difference (P＜0.05) compared with the level of before the shock's. The renal tubule scores of the experimental group and the control group after shocks were 7.2±0.8 and 31.8±1.9, respectively. And the HSP70 scores were 25.2±4.1 and 6.4±0.9, respectively. There was significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusions Taurine can effectively protect kidney from injury induced by high energy shock wave in rabbit.The mechanism may be related with its antioxidant capacity and inducing the synthesis of HSP70 in kidney.

Objective To compare the curative effects of intertrochantefie fractures in aged by two operative methods. Methods 85 cases of elderly patients suffered from intertrechanteric fractures were retrospectively ana-lyzed. Out of the 85 cases,45 cases were treated with dynamic hip screw(DHS) and 40 cases were fixed with Gamma nails. The curative effects and complications were compared simultaneously. Results The total excellent rate was 83.5% in 85 patients,the rates of DHS and Gamma nails group were 77. 8% and 90% (X2 = 2. 84, P 0. 05), re-spectively. The operative time (66. 4 ± 19. 4)min in DHS group were less than the Gamma nail group (875 ± 25.5) rain (t=2. 451 ,P < 0. 05), but the length of surgical incision (19. 6± 5. 1)cm greater than the Gamma nail group (10. 3 ± 4. 7) cm(t = 2. 501, P < 0. 05). The complications of DHS group (11.1%) were significanfly higher than that of Gamma nail group(2. 5%) (X2 =3.94,P<0. 05). Conclusion As long as the physical condition can toler-ate,surgery recommend the use of DHS and Gamma nail surgical techniques in aged patients with intertrechanteric fractures.

Purpose:To determine the efficacy and toxicity of gemcitabine plus cisplatin in anthracyclin- and taxane-pretreated patients with advanced breast cancer. Methods:Chemo-resistance was defined as no response while rece iving first-line and/or second-line chemotherapy. Patients with advanced and c hemo-resistant breast cancer, which was confirmed histologically, received gemc itabine 1,000 mg/m 2 on d1, 8 and cisplatin 25 mg/m 2 on d1-3, every 3 weeks.2 cycles were delivered at least. Results:30 female patients were enrolled in this trial. All pat ients were evaluable for response and toxicity. The median age was 46 years (ran ge, 34-58 years). After 2-4 (median, 3) cycles of chemotherapy, overall object ive response was 50.0%, with 5 CRs (Complete response 16.7%) and 10 PRs (Partial response 33.3%). Stable disease was seen in 13 patients (43.3%), and disease pr ogression in 2 patiens (6.7%). Toxicities included myelosuppression and gastroin testinal reaction mainly. Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ toxicites developed in 50% patients. Ther e were no treat-related deaths. The median follow-up time was 12.5 (range: 2- 48) months. Median overall survival was 14 months, and median time to progressio n was 10 months. Conclusions:These data indicate that the combination of gemcita bine and cisplatin is an effective treatment for heavily pretreated breast cance r patients with manageable toxicity.

Objective To prepare and screen out monoclonal antibodies against the receptor bind-ing domain (RBD) of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus ( MERS-CoV) spike ( S) protein in mice. Methods The RBD of MERS-CoV S protein expressed in the insect-baculovirus system was purified and then used to immunize the female BALB/ c mice. The spleen cells collected from the mice were fused with myeloma Sp2 / 0 cells. The positive hybridoma cells were obtained by using limited dilution method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA), Western blot assay and neutralization test based on the MERS-CoV pseudovirus were performed for further screening and identification. Results Twelve strains of hybridoma cells that produced the monoclonal antibodies against RBD of MERS-CoV S protein were screened out. All of the 12 monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) could have specific reaction with the RBD of MERS-CoV S protein as indicated by the results of ELISA. Of the 12 McAbs, two were identified as the immunoglobulin M (IgM) isotype and the rest were IgG1 isotype by using double antibodies sandwich ELISA. Four McAbs including 1F1, 2E4, 3C3 and 3E6 were identified as having neutralizing activity by the neutralization test based on MERS-CoV pseudovirus. Results of the Western blot assay showed that the four McAbs (1F1, 2E4, 3C3 and 3E6) could have specific reaction with the RBD of MERS-CoV S protein, but no cross-reac-tion with that of SARS-CoV S protein. Conclusion Twelve mouse-derived McAbs against the RBD of MERS-CoV S protein were obtained. The prepared hybridoma cells showed the characteristics of high speci-ficity and stability in antibody secretion. Four out of the 12 McAbs were proved to have neutralizing activity.

Objective To investigates factors affecting the positive rate of blocking antibody treated by paternal lymphocyte immunotherapy in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA).Methods From January 2008 to August 2012,326 RSA cases undergoing treatment in Infertility Center of Qilu Hospital were studied retrospectively.Those patients were divided into 2 groups randomly:260 cases in intradermal injection group were administered via bilateral forearm intradermal injections for immunotherapy once 21 days,then the blocking antibody was determined after 2 (23 cases),3 (73 cases),4 (74 cases),5(90 cases) times respectively,while in subcutaneous injection group,the 66 cases were administered via subcutaneous injection once 21 days,the blocking antibody measured after 3 times; In both cases,the blocking antibody was all determined 2 weeks later.The positive rate of blocking antibodies and the rate of successful pregnancy was recorded,and then followed up after the blocking antibody turning positive.Results (1)Positive rate of blocking antibodies:the positive rate of blocking antibodies were 17％ (4/23),58％ (42/73),72％ (53/74) and 84％ (76/90) in the 2,3,4,and 5 times of intradermal injection group,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).In subcutaneous injection group,the positive rate of blocking antibodies was 38 ％ (25/66),which was significantly lower than that in group intradermal injection receiving 3 times immunotherapy (P ＜0.05).(2) The rate of pregnancy:the 176 patients out of 200 patients were pregnant when antibody was positive after immunotherapy,with 71.6％ (126/176)of patients gained successful pregnancy(the length of pregnancy more than 5 months).Conclusions The route and frequency of administration of immunotherapy could influence the positive rate of blocking antibody.The rate of successful pregnancy will be increased after blocking antibody turning positive.
