Objective To clone and express prokaryotic recombinant plasmid of nucleoside triphosphate hydrolase (NTPase) gene of Toxoplasma gondii, and analyze its antigenicity. Method NTPase gene was amplified by PCR from RH strain of T. gondii and cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector. Positive clones were screened and identified by BglⅡ, HindⅢ digestion and sequenced. The target gene was then subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pBAD-HisB and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). The expressed recombinant protein was purified with Ni-NTA agarose and further analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blotting. Results NTPase-Ⅱ gene was specifically amplified, and the homology of DNA sequence was 100% to that in the GenBank. SDS-PAGE showed that the recombinant NTPase protein with correct molecular weight was expressed highly in E.coli BL21(DE3). Western blotting testified that the purified recombinant protein could be specifically recognized by mouse serum immunized with T. gondii and mouse anti-recombinant protein serum. Conclusion The NTPase-Ⅱ gene has been cloned and expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3), and the purified protein of NTPase-Ⅱ gene displays a specific antigenicity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of perfusion CT imaging in thyroid nodule. Methods Of the 40 cases of post-surgical thyroid nodule identified by pathology, nodular goiter was verified in 22 cases, thyroid adenoma in 6 cases,and thyroid carcinoma in 12 cases. All cases underwent CT perfusion scan at preoperative. The perfusion parameters including the blood flow ( BF), blood volume ( BV ), mean transit time ( MTT), and permeability of surface (PS) of region of interest (ROI) were calculated. The Mann-whitney test was used to comparing the differences of the different perfusion parameters. The ones with statistical significance would be introduced into the discriminatory analysis to distinguish the benign and malignant thyroid nodule. ResultsThe median MTT in 28 cases with benign thyroid nodule were 4. 33 s (Min 1.42 s,Max 10. 93 s), and that in 12 cases with malignant nodules were 2. 18 s( Min 1. 95 s, Max 2. 87 s). The difference had statistical significance ( P ＝ 0. 00 ) . The median BF in cases with thyroid carcinoma was 560. 23( Min 330. 66, Max 1000.00) ml ·100 g-1 ·min-1, and that in cases with the benign nodular were 374.79(Min 117.47,Max 1000.00) ml · 100 g-1 · min-1. There was a significant statistical difference ( P ＝0. 01 ). Through the discriminatory analysis, the difference of MTT between benign and malignant nodules were statistically significant (P ＝ 0. 00 ).After establing the Bayes discriminatory function, the overall diagnostic accuracy was 87.5％ (35/40).Conclusions MTT and BF are useful parameters in CT perfusion imaging to distinguish the benign and malignant thyroid nodules and the MTT is more accuracy.

Objective To develop and identify monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against adult worm of Angiostrongylus cantonensis and observe its applicability. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with soluble antigen of adult worms of A.cantonensis. The spleen cells of immunized mice were fused with myeloma cell, and the hybridoma secreting high titer of McAbs with high specificity was screened. By using the McAbs, serum of angiostrongyliasis patient and sera of the rats infected with A.cantonensis were detected by Western blotting and double antibody sandwich ELISA respectively. Results Three McAbs were established (2A2,3F1,4H2), which all showed no cross reaction with antigens of Schistosoma japonicum, Paragonimus westermani, Cysticercus cellulosae and Trichinella spiralis. Western blotting analysis demonstrated that the three McAbs recognized a Mr 15 000 soluble antigen of adult worm of A.cantonensis and recognized the Mr 24 000 and Mr 15 000 circulating antigens from the serum of angiostrongyliasis patient. The double antibody sandwich ELISA detection showed a positive rate of 76^5%. Conclusion Three hybridoma cell lines against adult worm of A.cantonensis have been established which secret high titer of McAbs with high specificity and seem promising in detecting the circulating antigen of the angiostrongyliasis patient.

Objective:To analyze the prognostic factors of primary and metastatic tumor resection for metastatic renal carcinoma.Methods:Clinical data of 12 cases of renal carcinoma with distant metastasis admitted to the Peking University Third Hospital from June 2011 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, including 10 males and 2 females. Age was from 36 to 67 years old, with average of 53.7 years old. BMI was 20.9-30.8 kg/m 2, with average of 25.8 kg/m 2.There were 6 cases of right kidney tumor and 6 cases of left kidney tumor. The diameter of the primary tumor was 2.7-16.0 cm, with an average of 7.1 cm. There were 2 cases of lung metastasis, 1 case of liver metastasis and 9 cases of bone metastasis. All the 12 patients underwent primary and metastatic tumorectomy. Postoperative pathological results showed 10 cases of clear cell carcinoma, 1 case of papillary type 2 tumor and 1 case of collecting duct carcinoma. The pathological results of the metastases were the same as those of the original lesions. Results:All the 12 patients underwent primary and metastatic renal carcinoma resection, among which 3 received postoperative chemotherapy and 6 received radiotherapy .Two patients were treated with targeted drugs. The interval between primary resection and metastatic resection was 1-84 months, and the median time was 2.5 months. In this study, 12 patients were followed up for 2-96 months, with the median survival time of 34 months, and mortality rate of 25%.There was no significant correlation between age( P=0.265), gender( P=0.183), BMI( P=0.152), primary tumor size ( P=0.082), radiotherapy, chemotherapy or targeted therapy ( P=0.915) and overall survival, and the interval between primary resection and metastatic resection ( P=0.046) was significantly correlated with overall survival. Conclusion:The interval between primary and metastatic tumor resection was a risk factor for the prognosis of patients.

In order to develop clinical diagnostic tools for rapid detection of the SARS-CoV (severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus) and to identify candidate proteins for vaccine development, the C-terminal portion of the nucleocapsid (NC) gene was amplified using RT-PCR from the SARS-CoV genome, cloned into a yeast expression vector (pEGH), and expressed as a glutathione S-transferase (GST) and Hisx6 double-tagged fusion protein under the control of an inducible promoter. Western analysis on the purified protein confirmed the expression and purification of the NC fusion proteins from yeast. To determine its antigenicity, the fusion protein was challenged with serum samples from SARS patients and normal controls. The NC fusion protein demonstrated high antigenicity with high specificity, and therefore, it should have great potential in designing clinical diagnostic tools and provide useful information for vaccine development.
