AIM: To obtain a single-chain antibody with high affinity for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS: A second single-chain antibody mutant library was established by using error-prone PCR and DNA shuffling. Single-chain antibodies with high affinity for hepatocellular carcinoma were selected from phage antibody library by using ELISA. RESULTS: The content of the second single-chain antibody mutant library was about 4.5?10~7. Two selected mutants M25 and M36 were obtained after 3 rounds of panning and ELISA. Immunoassay showed that M25 and M36 bound to human HCC cells specifically. The relative affinity of M25 was 2.0 folds higher than that of the original antibody, and M36 was 2.4 folds higher than the original antibody. CONCLUSION: Error-prone PCR combined with DNA shuffling is an effective method to improve affinity of antibodies isolated from phage antibody library.

This study aimed to summarize the diagnosis and treatment of uncommon complications in esophageal and cardiac cancer operations as well as obtain lessons from the failure. Methods:The etiology, clinical diagnosis, treatment, prevention measures, and factors that contribute to the failure of the uncommon complications were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Results showed ten cured cases and eight death cases (except for the reported eight cases). Conclusion:The following conclusions were ob-tained. 1) The complications described in this paper were rare, but they sometimes occur clinically. If wrong treatment was taken, seri-ous consequences would be expected. 2) Once a jet-like bleeding of aortic esophagus avulsion injury occurs, the surgeon must be calm and take proper treatment to successfully patch up the wounds. 3) The right thoracic approach is a new approach to prevent the injury of azygos vein. 4) Patients with anastomotic stoma fistula easily cause a delay in diagnosis if the leakage was wrapped in the inferior phrenic. 5) Taking preventive measures is the key method for the anastomotic aortoesophageal fistula. 6) Occurrence of pulmonary em-bolism after operation should be monitored. 7) Thoracic gastric mediastinal hernia would cause serious consequences if treatment was not taken at a proper time.

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.

ObjectiveTo recognize the normal CT appearances of adult pterygoid hamulus and increase the ability to recognize pterygoid hamulus abnormalities.Methods The pterygoid hamulus of 108 normal adults ( male:53 cases,female,55 cases) were studied with MIP and VR reconstructive images by 64-slice spiral CT in order to observe its normal shape,to measure its length,diameter,vertical height,horizontal width,abduct angle in coronal position and post-abducent angle in anteroposterior position.The differences between genders,two sides and age groups were compared,respectively.ResultsThe normal pterygoid hamulus had a wide basal body and a pillar caudomedial part with round or intumescentia extreme.In coronal position,the distal end towards outer direction in 214 sides and 2 sides in inner direction. In anteroposterior position,the distal end towards posterior direction in 190 sides and anterior direction in 26 sides.The pterygoid hamulus length,vertical height,and horizontal width of adult males were (8.18 ± 0.94) mm,(7.23 ±0.92) mm,(4.27 ±0.81 ) mm,respectively.They were larger than the adult females (7.31 ± 1.01) mm,(6.26 ±0.90) mm,(3.97 ±0.82) mm,and the difference was statistically significant (t values were 6.56,7.86,2.72 respectively,P < 0.05).The pterygoid hamulus vertical height of age group over 60 years old (7.13 ± 1.35) mm exceeded the age groups of 18-39 (6.55 ±0.86) mm.The difference was statistically significant ( F =4.95,P < 0.05 ).Conclusions64-slice spiral CT could display the shape,length and angle of pterygoid hamulus in full. It could help to recognize correlated pterygoid hamulus diseases.

Objective To improve the teaching methods of graduate students, and provide the theoretical basis for other teaching hospitals to extend the preclinical training mode of clinical medicine professional degree students. Methods 90 clinical medical postgraduate students of Grade 2012 were divided into four groups according to their specialized field and 54 hours of pre-job clinical intensive training were conducted at the same time. The training included four modules lectured by teachers with physician-in-charge above title, such as communication between doctors and patients and medical history collection, physical examination, medical record writing as well as theory of knowl-edge. Before and after the implementation of intensive training, these four skills and knowledge of the students were tested and assessed by professional teachers. Relevant data were paired t test, ANOVA and non-parametric tests. Results The test results of patient-doctor communication and patient history collection, physical examination, complete medical records and theoretical examination results of each group after training were improved to be higher than before (P<0.05). And the effect of patient-doctor communication and patient history collection was the most significant. The doctor-patient communica-tion and history acquisition performance of different groups of graduate students had statistically sig-nificant difference (P=0.001). Conclusion Strengthening the preclinical comprehensive training for medical postgraduate can make the students master the basic clinical skills better and more effectively and the corresponding training methods are worthy of popularization to the other teaching hospitals.

Objective It has been known that hepatopulmonary syndrome(HPS) is related to the imbalance between vasoconstrictors and vasodilators. The aim of the study is to examine the levels of plasma calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) and endothelin(ET) in patients with HPS for exploring their roles in HPS formation. Methods The levels of CGRP and ET were measured by radioimmunoassay in 16 cases of HPS, 30 cases of liver cirrhosis without HPS and 15 normal controls. Results The levels of plasma CGRP ((65?15)pg/ml) and ET((78?21)pg/ml) in 16 cases of HPS were significantly higher than those in liver cirrhosis (CGRP (51?15) pg/ml, ET (60?14) pg/ml) and in healthy controls (CGRP (32?12) pg/ml, ET (36?11) pg/ml) ( P 0.05). Conclusions The increase of plasma CGRP and ET is closely associated with the intrapulmonar vascular dilation of HPS and hypoxemia. The levels of plasma CGRP and ET in liver cirrhosis were significantly higher than those in healthy controls ( P
