In order to increase the expression level of target gene and to simplify the purifying process of separation and purification, we performed the transgenetic research of antigen VP7 gene into peanut via Agrobacterium tumefaciens. The plant binary expression vector is pBOG3VP7 harboring fusion gene oleosin-vp7, which is promoted by ole-promoter. Cotyledon nodes were used as transformation recipients. Transformed individuals were obtained through selection on medium containing 125 mg L-1 Kan. Integration of transgenes was assessed by PCR amplification and PCR-Southern blot hybridization. Taking pBOG3VP7 plasmid as positive control, non-transformed peanut as negative control. 6 plants among 11 plants grown up through seletion medium were detected by PCR and the rate of positive plants is 54.5%. PCR positive plants were further analysed by PCR-Southern blot hybridization. The results showed that 3 plants have DNA bloting bands. The results also showed that the foreign gene was integrated into genome of transformed peanuts. Elevated expression of rotavirus VP7 antigen in transgenic peanuts was a critical factor in the development of efficient and cheap plant oral vaccine.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors associated with the complications of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in the treatment of traumatic hemothorax.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 94 patients with traumatic hemothorax undergone VATS treatment in Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2018. There were 75 males and 19 females, aged from 15-78 years [(45.8±14.6)years]. Postoperative complications occurred in 12 patients (complication group) and not in 82 patients (non-complication group). The following data were analyzed for complication-related risk factors using univariate analysis and Logistic regression analysis, including gender, age, mechanism of injury, pneumothorax and hemothorax, number of fractured ribs, abbreviated injury score (AIS), injury severity score (ISS), time from injury to operation, operation time, rib fixation or not, pulmonary air leakage or not, duration of drainage, postoperative volume of drainage, and postoperative length of hospital stay.Results:The proportion of patients with time from injury to operation (>3 days), duration of drainage and postoperative length of hospital stay in complication group [75%(9/12), (7.8±2.6) days, (10.2±2.7)days] were significantly higher or longer than those in non-complication group [37%(30/82), (5.5±1.6)days, (8.0±2.3)days] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, age, mechanism of injury, pneumothorax and hemothorax conditions, number of fractured ribs (≥3), AIS, ISS, operation time, rib fixation or not, pulmonary air leakage or not and postoperative volume of drainage ( P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed time from injury to operation (>3 days) and pulmonary air leakage were significantly associated with the complications of VATS ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Time from injury to operation (>3 days) and pulmonary air leakage are independent risk factors for the complications of VATS in the treatment of traumatic hemothorax.

Objective:The characteristics of women with false elevated testosterone were analyze and the literature was reviewed to provide reference for clinical laboratory identification of false elevated testosterone.Methods:The characteristics of three patients with false elevated testosterone in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were analyzed retrospectively, and the results of different detection platforms and methods for the determination of testosterone levels were compared. International and domestic literatures related to false elevation of testosterone and detection methods of testosterone were searched for a comprehensive analysis from PUBMED and CNKI.Results:The levels of testosterone in 3 female patients were elevated by immunoassay and normal by mass spectrometry. They were excluded from the diagnosis of hyperandrogenemia. A total of 38 literatures related to testosterone detection were retrieved, of which 9 case reports of pseudohyperandrogenemia, among which 12 cases of pseudohyperandrogenemia were reported in 2 domestic literatures in 2021. All cases were confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Previous studies have clearly indicated that the result of routine immunoassay in clinical laboratory for the determination of female testosterone have poor correlation with the results of LC-MS/MS, with varying degrees of deviation.Conclusions:Immunoassay tests for female testosterone is susceptible to interference and lead to elevated false results. It is suggested that clinical laboratories evaluate the detection methods used and establish a identification program, and confirm samples with suspected pseudoelevated testosterone elevation using other immune platforms or LC-MS/MS.
