Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University(Medical Sciences) 1982;0(04):-
This paper recommends the early diagnosis of epidemic hemorrhagicfever with immunoenzymatic direct staining (IDS) to study the patient'speripheral white blood cells. The samples of blood smears from 63 patientswere examined under the microscope with this metbod. In 54 patients, the results were positive (85. 71%). We systemically observed 10 blood sam-ples from the patients in different courses of the disease, and found thatduring the period of recovery the results were negative. This method wasalso used to observe the blood smears from both 22 patients infected withother viruses and 20 healthy persons, and a negative result was obtained.It was demonstrated that IDS had stronger specificity. The advantages ofthis method are that blood samples are easily taken, carried and preserved,and that the experimental method is simple. Thus, IDS is of practical signifi-cance in preventing and treating the disease.

Efficient gene delivery and sustained gene expression are required for successful human gene therapy.Although viral vectors are considered the most efficient vehicles for gene transfer,currently available viral vectors have not fully achieved these two requirements.Lentiviral vectors(LVs)can integrate into host chromosomes,allowing long-term gene expression,in addition,these vectors are non-toxic and minimally immunogenic since no viral genes are encoded in the vector genome,but are still limited to in vitro or ex vivo gene delivery because of their relatively low titers using transient transfection experiments.In order to develop an efficient transient transfection method for large-scale production of high titer lentiviral vector stocks,a minimal lentiviral vector producing system based on vaccinia virus that synthesizes T7 RNA polymerase was developed.BHK21 was co-transfected by three main plasmids containing the transducing plasmid pVECRNA,the packaging plasmid pGAGPOL and the envelope plasmid pVSVG,and thereafter infected with the vaccinia vTF-3 containing bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase gene using Lipofectamin2000TM.After 4 days,the culture supernatant of lentiviral vectors was collected,the RNA from the supernatant was examined by the RT-PCR,the protein from the supernatant was examined by Western blot,and the supernatant was used to transfect normal 293T,HepG2 and Vero,which were observed by the immunofluorescence microscopy.The type of cell lines,plasmids dosage and the MOI(the proportion between cell numbers and virus copies)were considered so critical to the output of this system that 3?3?3 factorial design was used to explore the yield optimization of this system.As judged by the results of RT-PCR and the Western blot,lentiviral vectors were found in the culture supernatant;as judged by immunofluorescence with microscopy,293T,HepG2 and Vero which were transfected by the supnantant expressed the report protein-green fluorescent protein(GFP),the results confirmed the valid infectivity of the lentiviral vector produced by the system.Eventually,the best titers of lentiviral vector stocks was up to 1.3?108 tu/ml,which is one order of magnitude higher than the output of classical manufacture system.The new poxviral/lentiviral hybrid system for efficient lentiviral vector production was initially established.It provides the basis for the future development of industrial application.

Objective To determine the median effective doae (ED50) for motor block after intrathecal ropivacaine and bupivacaine. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 18-64, weighing 46-75 kg, undergoing elective urological surgery under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 30each) receiving intrathecal 0.5% ropivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine respectively. The ED50 was determined by up-down sequential allocation. The initial dose was 4 mg. Each time the dose increased/decreased by 1 mg. Efficacy was determined by the occurrence of any motor block in either lower extremity (modified Bromage scale > 0)within 5 or 10 min after the spinal injection. Results The intrathecal ED50 for motor block was 6.68 mg for ropivacaine (95% confidence interval 6.27-7.13 mg) and 4.07 mg for bupivacaine (95% confidence interval 3.56-4.47mg) . The relative motor blocking potency ratio was ropivacaine/bupivacaine 0.61. Conclusion The potency of intrathecal ropivacaine is lower than that of bupivacaine for motor block.
