Objective:To investigate the immunogenicity of pORF5 plasmid protein,and further to screen and identify its im-munodominant domian.Methods: 10 different fragments of pORF5 gene including full length were amplified from the DNA of Chlamydia trachomatis serovar D by PCR and cloned into appropriate site of pGEX-6p vector to construct recombinant vectors after digested with BamHⅠand NotⅠrestriction endonucleases.After identification by PCR and sequencing,the recombinant plasmids were transformed into XL1 Blue E.coli to express the GST fusion proteins.ELISA and Western blot were carried out to identify the immunogenicity and immunoreaction of pORF5 plasmid protein.10 different fragments were reacted with sera from patients urogenitally infected with Chlamydia trachomatis, mouse polyclonal antibodies and mouse monoclonal antibodies of pORF5 plasmid protein with ELISA method.Results: pORF5 plasmid protein displayed strong immunogenicity and could induce a strong antibody response in human.The reactivity of human antibodies almost completely disappeared,when the native structure of pORF5 plasmid protein was de-stroyed.F6 that only lacked the N-terminal 66 amino acids was recognized by antibodies in ELISA as strongly as the whole pORF5 plasmid protein was.However,no other fragments were significantly recognized although there was a minimal reactivity of F2 and F3 with antibodies.Conclusion:pORF5 plasmid protein was an immunodominant antigen containing conformation-dependent epitope,and the C-terminal three quarters of pORF5 amino acid sequence was required for maintaining its immune dominance and conformation.The significance of the above findings lay a foundation for the further study on pORF5 protein function and vaccine development.

Objective To establish diagnostic standards of confocal laser endomiroscopy (CLE) in pathological classifications of gastric cancer and evaluate the diagnostic value of CLE in vivo. Methods The confocal images of 36 patients, who were diagnosed as gastric cancer with confirmation of pathology, were collected and analyzed to establish diagnostic standards of CLE for pathological classifications of gastric cancer. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CLE were determined with reference to histopathologic findiugs retrospectively. Results According to changes of glandular architecture and microvessels under CLE, gastric cancers were divided into differentiated and undifferentiated type. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of CLE in diagnosing differentiated carcinoma were 85.7%, 92. 3% and 90. 5%, respectively, which were 85.7%, 92. 3% and 90. 5%, respectively, in undifferentiated carcinoma. Conclusion CLE is a new tool to make pathological classifications of gastric cancer during routine endoscopic examination procedure, which correlates well with histopathologic fingdings.

Objective To estimate the value of confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE)for differential diagnosis of gastric ulcer. Methods Patients diagnosed as gastric ulcer by conventional endoscopic mode of CLE were enrolled. The eonfocal endoscopic mode of CLE was used to observe the borderline and/or the surface of the ulcers. Biopsy specimen was taken for histopathological examination and the result of CLE was compared with histopathological finding. Results A total of 12 769 CLE images were obtained from 150 sites of 43 patients. The sensitivity and specificity of CLE for phlegmonosis process were 83.54% and 85.92%, respectively, with positive predictive value of 86.84% and negative predictive value of 82.43%. Whereas the sensitivity and specificity of CLE for intraepithelial neoplasia were 53.57% and 88.52%, respectively, with positive predictive value of 51.72% and negative predictive value of 89.26%. As for diagnosis of gastric cancer, the sensitivity and specificity of CLE were 88.37% and 93.46%, respectively, with positive predictive value of 84.44 % and negative predictive value of 95.24%. The kappa values for agreement of histopathological findings and CLE for diagnosis of phlegmonosis process, intraepithelial neoplasia and gastric cancer were 0.69,0.42 and 0.81, respectively. Conclusions CLE can provide a real-time histopathological diagnosis of the gastrointestinal tract with high sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values. Targeted biopsy can be done under CLE and the detective rates of precancerous lesions and tumors will be increased.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of integrated pediatric training course of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO)based on simulation teaching.Methods:The instructors of ECMO team of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University developed the teaching curriculum.Team members as a unit were recruited to study simulation-based courses, whose theoretical knowledge, skills and teamwork were assessed, and feedback from the trainees were gathered.Results:Since May 2018, 22 teams of pediatric specialized hospitals or general hospitals have taken part in our ECMO simulation, with totally 132 participants, including 45 ICU doctors(34.1%), 60 ICU nurses(45.5%), 23 thoracic surgeons(17.4%) and four anesthesiologists(3.0%). Twelve of them(9.1%)had a little ECMO experience.After training, the trainees had a high evaluation on each part of the course, with average score more than four, of which the theoretical score was lowest.Their self-evaluation on the theory, skills, teamwork and confidence in the implementation of ECMO had been significantly improved.Most(80.3%)of the trainees were confident to carry out ECMO in their local hospitals.The trainees′ baseline score of theoretical knowledge was 55.2±7.6, and increased to 67.1±7.3 after training( P<0.001). The average teamwork score of the 22 teams was 70.2±8.2, and the qualified rate was up to 86.4%.The most prominent skill problems in operation assessment were no albumin and blood priming(90.9%), non-skill problems were extremely anxious during the overall assessment(84.8%)of the participants, poor team work(74.2%), poor leadership(68.2%). For the feedback of the whole course, 97.0% and 94.7% of the trainees thought that integrated training and simulation teaching were the highlights of the course.At present, 13(59.1%)units have successfully developed ECMO technology after the course, and the number of children treated has been up to 83, with a survival rate of discharge of 54.2%.However, it was found that the skill level of some participants decreased about 2 weeks after the course. Conclusion:As a new attempt of ECMO teaching, this curriculum has achieved certain efficiency in both teaching and clinical practice.At the same time, our study also plays a role in promoting the development of ECMO in pediatrics.

Objective: To explore the correlation between pull-up ability and upper body composition of male college students in a college in Guangxi, and to provide scientific guidance for college students’ exercise. Methods: A total of 685 male college students were randomly selected from a college in Guangxi.Pull up tests were implemented according to the national physical health test standards. Measurements of muscle mass, fat mass, fat percentage, etc. of the upper limbs were conducted by using the Ogilvy Body Composition Meter (TANITA MC-180). Data entry and analysis were performed by using SPSS 23.0. Results: The pass rate of male college students in the region was 21.7%; There was a statistically significant difference in the fat mass and percentage of body fat between males with different pull-up ability (F=11.30，14.18，12.91，15.22，P<0.01).After controlling age, height, weight and BMI, partial correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the pull-up ability of male college students and the fat mass and limb fat rate of both upper limbs(r=-0.22, -0.33, -0.31, -0.38, P<0.01). Conclusion The ability of male students in Guangxi to pull up is needed to be improved. Pull-up exercises can reduce fat mass and fat percentage in the upper limbs and improve body composition.
