A recombinant plasmid pET28a-HBcAg-delta n was constructed, in which three mimic B-epitopes of HER family were inserted into the truncated HBc vector. The fusion protein expressed was purified and used to immunize BALB/c mice to induce antibody against the epitopes. Three mimic epitope genes were inserted into the sequences of amino acid residues 78 and 79 of HBcAg by overlap PCR. The PCR product was then cloned into pET28a to construct recombinant expression plasmid which was transformed to E. coli BL21 (DE3) and induced by IPTG. After purification, the fused protein designed HBHE was used to immunize BALB/c mice to detect humoral immunoresponse. The recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed by DNA sequencing analysis. A fusion protein with correct molecular mass was expressed and confirmed by SDS-PAGE. High titre antibody was elicited in the mice immunized with HBHE by indirect ELISA and Western blotting. The HBc particle vector containing three B-epitopes of HER family had been successfully prepared, purified and high titre antibody against HBHE was detected. All these data are helpful in further research of the broad-spectrum anti-tumour effect of combine polypeptide epi-position vaccine of EGFR and HER2.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound-guided popliteal vein catheter thrombolysis for acute deep venous thrombosis of the lower extremity.Methods Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed on 120 patients of unilateral acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis from April 2010 to April 2013.60 cases were included in systemic thrombolytic group; 60 cases into catheter directed thrombolysis group.Thrombolysis rate and limb swelling reduction rate were calculated and compared between the two groups.Results Due to limb swelling rate,in systemic thrombolysis group:Thigh swelling reduction rate was (77 ± 9) % ; Leg swelling reduction rate was (70 ± 11) %,while in catheter directed thrombolys group,that was (87 ± 5) %,and (80 ± 9) %,respectively (P < 0.05).The thrombolysis rate in systemic group was (59 ± 14)%,that was (71 ± 13)% in catheter directed thrombolysis group (P < 0.05).Conclusions Ultrasound guided precutaneous catheter popliteal vein thrombolysis significantly improves the short-term outcome of deep venous thrombosis in terms of leg swelling reduction rate and thrombolysis reduction rate.

Objective:To evaluate Castor single-branch covered-stent in the treatment of Stanford B aortic dissection(TBAD)with insufficient anchorage zone.Methods:Clinical data of 25 TBAD patients (proximal healthy landing zone ≤15 mm) treated with Castor branched stent-graft at Weifang People's Hospital from Apr 2019 to Sep 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.The stent model was selected according to preoperative CTA examination and intraoperative angiography,the operation result and follow up data were reviewed.Results:The operation success rate was 100%,the mean operative time was (137.8±35.8)min, and the mean blood loss was (52.8±24.5)ml. There were 2 cases of internal leakage (IA) and it was disappeared after balloon dilation, Branched stent stenosis occurred in 2 cases and relieved by balloon dilatation. The mean follow-up time was 14.6 months, and the patency rate of branch stent was 100% during the follow-up period. The true lumen diameter of thoracic aorta was significantly expanded and the false lumen diameter was significantly reduced 3 months after surgery compared with that before surgery ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Castor stenting in the treatment of TBAD with insufficient proximal anchoring area is simple and feasible, with satisfactory short term clinical effect.
