Objective The measurement of normal tibia was aimed to obtain the value of the posterior slope angle of the medial tibial plateau in Chinese adult and its related parameters in order to improve the design of knee prosthesis more suitable for Chinese people, and also provide an essential features of tibia for resecting tibial plateau in total knee arthroplasty. Methods 450 knees of 428 persons which were healthy Chinese adult long living in North China, were 252 male knees and 198 female knees with an average age of 43.9 years ranging from 18 to 79 years. The criteria of the subjects were no tibial deformity, no genu varum and valgum, abnormal changes of articular surface, and had sustained ever any tibial trauma. Depending on the age of subjects, they were divided into three groups, group A was between 18 and 39 years, group B between 40 to 59 years, and group C more than 60 years. Moreover, 6 tibias harvested from healthy Chinese corpses were measured as well. Computer radiography was used to take standard lateral aspect of X-ray film. The imagines were stored into computer by scanning the films, and so the measurement was taken in computer using Danzig method. The data were analyzed statistically. Results By two factors analysis, the sex and age had no significant influence of the posterior slope angle of the tibia; furthermore, the angle was not different between the left and right tibia. In male adult, the average degrees of left posterior slope angle of the medial tibial plateau were 13.2??4.4?, the right 10.5??5.1?, and the average degrees of posterior slope angle of both sides were 11.7??4.9?. In female adult, the average degrees of left posterior slope angle of the medial tibial plateau were 11.2??3.5?, the right 10.6??4.4?, and the average degrees of posterior slope angle of both sides were 10.8??4.0?. The average degree of group A were 11.7??4.4?, group B 10.4??4.7?, group C 12.3??4.4?. In summary, there was no significant difference of posterior slope angle of the medial tibial plateau between sex, side and age. Conclusion The average degrees of posterior slope angle of the medial tibial plateau in North China adult were 11.3??4.5? ranging from 0??21? to 9?-13?, and were larger than that of the Westerns.

Objective To investigate the distribution of subtypes of T. pallidum (TP) in Hengyang and Jiangmen regions. Methods Eighty-five specime ns taken from patients with suspected chancre collected in Hengyang and Jiangmen from February 2002 to January 2004 were screened by a PCR targeted TP polA gene , and then the arp gene and tpr gene were amplified from TP positive specimens. The PCR products of tpr gene were digested by restriction endonuclease MSe I. Th e sizes of the arp gene and the restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the tpr gene were analyzed for subtyping. Results Of 69 TP-positive specime ns, 57 could be subtyped, and 10 subtypes were found. Among them, 26 (45.6%) wer e subtype 14d, and other subtypes included 10d(1), 12a(3), 12g(2), 13d(6), 14a(5 ), 14b(2), 14f(6), 15d(5) and 16d(1). No significant difference of the distribut ion of TP subtypes between Hengyang and Jiangmen was found. Conclusion Multipl e T.pallidum subtypes have been prevalent in Hengyang and Jiangmen, although the predominant subtype is 14d, there is no significant geographic heterogeneity be tween these two regions.

Objective To clone, express Tp0319 gene from Treponemapallidum (T. pallidum), and to assess the immunocompetence of recombinant protein. Methods The immuno-dominant region of Tp0319gene was chosen by computer analysis, amplified from T. pallidum complete genome by PCR, subcloned into the expression vector pQE32 to construct a recombinant plasmid, pQE32/Tp0319, which was then expressed in E. coli M15. The recombinant protein was purified with Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, and identified by using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE) and Western blot. New Zealand rabbits were immunized with the recombinant protein, and the titer of anti-Tp0319 antibodies in sera from immunized rabbits were measured with indirect ELISA. Also, indirect ELISA with the recombinant Tp0319 as coating antigen was performed to detect the anti-Tp0319 antibody in sera from 200 normal human controls and 200 patients with syphilis. Results The prokaryotic expression vector pQE32/Tp0319 was constructed successfully, and the recombinant protein Tp0319 with a molecular weight of about 30 000 was attained. Specific humoral response was elicited by the recombinant protein in New Zealand rabbits and the specific antibody titer was more than 1: 10 240 after immunization for 3 times. Western blot proved that the recombinant protein could specifically react with anti-T. pallidum IgG antibody-positive sera. Indirect ELISA was successfully developed with the recombinant Tp0319, and detected antibodies to T. pallidum in control sera with a sensitivity and specificity of 100% (40/40), respectively. Compared with T. pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) assay, the sensitivity and specificity of the indirect ELISA were 92.6% and 100%, respectively, in the detection of T. pallidum in sera from patients and controls, and the concordance between the indirect ELISA and TPPA was 96%. Conclusions The prepared recombinant protein shows a satisfactory immunocompetence, which may lay a foundation for its further application in the serodiagnosis of syphilis.

To predict and identify the dominant B‐cell epitopes of conserved region of Treponema pallidum repeat protein F (TprFN ) and provide the basis for development of polyvalent epitope‐based syphilis vaccine ,the amino acid sequence of TprFN was obtained from GenBank and analyzed with comprehensive meta‐analysis Mobyle ,ABCpred and IEDB online software .The peptides containing predicted epitopes were artificially synthesized . To obtain and measure the titers of antibodies against TprFN ,New Zealand rabbits were immunized with recombinant protein TprFN expressed in E .coli and identified by Western blot (WB) .Sera from TprFN‐immunized rabbits ,syphilis patients ,and normal human and normal rabbits were used to deter‐mine the immunoreactivity and specificity of 7 predicted peptides of TpFN by indirect ELISA .Comprehensive meta‐analysis of online software showed that P1 (43‐62AA) ,P2(57‐71AA) ,P3(81‐88AA) ,P4(89‐103AA) ,P5(125‐138AA) ,P6(231‐251AA) and P7(268‐279AA) might be the B‐cell epitopes .A protein was expressed in a soluble form and identified as TpFN by WB .The ELISA indicated that P1 and P3 were active with TprFN‐immunized rabbit sera and syphilis patient sera but not with negative control sera .These results indicate that P1 and P3 are the potential dominant B‐cell epitopes .
