Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of two kinds of uterine artery perfusion chemotherapy plus embolization (UACE) in treating ectopic pregnancy (EP). Methods A single center, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial was carried out at authors hospital. A total of 50 cases of EP patients were randomly and equally divided into the study group (perfusion chemotherapy of MTX and 5-FU plus embolization therapy) and the control group (perfusion chemotherapy of pure MTX plus embolization therapy). After UACE, the serumβ-HCG value, the clinical healing time and the tubal patency rate were determined at different time, and the adverse events were recorded. The results were statistically analyzed by using t test, and χ2 test, and the data were compared between the two groups. Results One patient in both groups was excluded from the study. In the remaining 48 patients, one patient of the control group failed to respond the treatment, so the overall cure rate was 97.9%. The differences in the main effect of treatment method and the time interaction of the serum β-HCG values between the two groups were not statistically significant (P > 0.05), while the difference in the time effect between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The clinical healing time of the study group and the control group was (28.57 ± 5.08) days and (26.74 ± 5.57) days respectively, and no statistically significant difference existed between the two groups(P>0.05). The tubal patency rate of the study group and the control group was 76.2%and 78.9%respectively, and no statistically significant difference existed between the two groups (P > 0.05). The adverse events in both groups were mild, and the occurrence of the adverse events in the study group and the control group was 58.3% and 26.1% respectively, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion Two kinds of interventional methods have the same clinical curative effect. However, the incidence of adverse events in the control group is lower than that in the study group. Therefore, in treating ectopic pregnancy perfusion chemotherapy with MTX only is recommend.

We expressed and prepared the recombinant fusion protein sTNFRII-gAD consisted of soluble TNF receptor II and the globular domain of adiponectin by Adenovirus Vector System in mammalian BHK21c022 cells. First we used the adenovirus vector containing EGFP gene (rAd5-EGFP) to infect BHK21c022 cells at different MOI (from 0 to 1 000), and then evaluated their transduction efficiency and cytotoxicity. Similarly, we constructed the replication-deficient adenovirus type 5-sTNFRII-gAD (rAd5-sTNFRII-gAD). We collected the supernatants for Western blotting to determine the optimal MOI by comparing the expression levels of sTNFRII-gAD fusion protein, 48 h after the BHK21c022 cells were infected by rAd5-sTNFRII-gAD at different MOIs (from 0 to 1 000). Then, we chose rAd5-sTNFRII-gAD at MOI 100 to infect five bottles of BHK21c022 cells in 100 mL of serum-free chemically defined media 100 mL, harvested the supernatant every 48 h for 6 times, and condense and purify sTNFRII-gAD fusion protein by ammonium sulfate salt-out and size-exclusion chromatography, respectively. Finally, we analyzed anti-TNFalpha activity of sTNFRII-gAD fusion protein on L929 cells in vitro. The results showed that the number of BHK21c022 cells expressing EGFP protein was increased significantly with the increase of MOI. However, some cells died at MOI of 1 000 while there was no significant cytotoxicity at MOI from 0 to 100. Western blotting analysis showed that the more adenoviruses, the higher expression of sTNFRII-gAD fusion protein in the supernatant with the highest expression at MOI 1 000. We successfully obtained about 11 mg bioactive and purified sTNFRII-gAD fusion protein at last. The in vitro assay demonstrated that the sTNFRII-gAD fusion protein was potent to antagonize TNFalpha's cytotoxicity to L929 cells. Put together, we established a recombinant adenovirus vector/BHK21 cell expression system, characteristic of the efficient serum-free culture and easy scaling-up.

Objective To investigate the preventive and inhibitory effects of tumor cell lysate(TCL) combined with IL-2 on melanoma and the potential immune mechanism. Methods The B16F10 melanoma TCL cell were prepared using an ultrasonic disruptor. Twenty-four C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into four groups which were immunized with PBS, IL-2, TCL and TCL+IL-2 for three weeks, and contra lateral tumors were implanted in the fourth week. We observed onset time of tumor and tumor size, collected peripheral blood continuously and monitored the expression of CD4⁺T and CD8⁺T cell subsets dynamically by flow cytometry. Spleen and tumor tissues of mice were also tested for CD4⁺T and CD8⁺T cell subsets by flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, respectively. Results The preventive immunization of the TCL+IL-2 group significantly delayed the onset time of tumor (P=0.034); moreover, the tumor volume (P=0.023) and tumor weight (P=0.0015) were also significantly smaller than those in the control group. The expression of CD8⁺T cell subsets in the TCL+IL-2 group and the TCL-only group were significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0.0016, P=0.012). However, the CD4⁺T cell subsets of the TCL+IL-2 group decreased after tumor implantation, compared with the control group (P=0.0089). The expression of CD4⁺T and CD8⁺T cell subsets in spleen and tumor tissues were as same as those in peripheral blood. Conclusion The tumor vaccine of TCL combined with IL-2 could prevent the occurrence of melanoma in mouse and effectively inhibit tumor growth by activating CD8⁺T cells.

Objective: To evaluate the reliability and validity of warning signs checklist developed by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People′s Republic of China (NHFPC), so as to determine the screening effectiveness of warning signs on developmental problems of early childhood. Method: Stratified random sampling method was used to assess the reliability and validity of checklist of warning sign and 2 110 children 0 to 6 years of age(1 513 low-risk subjects and 597 high-risk subjects) were recruited from 11 provinces of China. The reliability evaluation for the warning signs included the test-retest reliability and interrater reliability. With the use of Age and Stage Questionnaire (ASQ) and Gesell Development Diagnosis Scale (GESELL) as the criterion scales, criterion validity was assessed by determining the correlation and consistency between the screening results of warning signs and the criterion scales. Result: In terms of the warning signs, the screening positive rates at different ages ranged from 10.8%(21/141) to 26.2%(51/137). The median (interquartile) testing time for each subject was 1(0.6) minute. Both the test-retest reliability and interrater reliability of warning signs reached 0.7 or above, indicating that the stability was good. In terms of validity assessment, there was remarkable consistency between ASQ and warning signs, with the Kappa value of 0.63. With the use of GESELL as criterion, it was determined that the sensitivity of warning signs in children with suspected developmental delay was 82.2%, and the specificity was 77.7%. The overall Youden index was 0.6. Conclusion The reliability and validity of warning signs checklist for screening early childhood developmental problems have met the basic requirements of psychological screening scales, with the characteristics of short testing time and easy operation. Thus, this warning signs checklist can be used for screening psychological and behavioral problems of early childhood, especially in community settings.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.

Papaya, which is mainly cultivated in the southeastern region of China, is one of the four famous fruits in Lingnan. It is favored by people because of its edible and medicinal value. Fructose-6-phosphate, 2-kinase/fructose-2, 6-bisphosphatase (F2KP) is a unique bifunctional enzyme with a kinase domain and an esterase domain that catalyzes the synthesis and degradation of fructose-2, 6-bisphosphate (Fru-2, 6-P₂), an important regulator of glucose metabolism in organisms. In order to study the function of the gene CpF2KP encoding the enzyme in papaya, it is particularly important to obtain the target protein. In this study, the coding sequence (CDS) of CpF2KP, with a full-length of 2 274 bp, was got from the papaya genome. The amplified sequence of full-length CDS was cloned into the vector PGEX-4T-1 which was double digested with EcoR I and BamH I. The amplified sequence was constructed into a prokaryotic expression vector by genetic recombination. After exploring the induction conditions, the results of SDS-PAGE showed that the size of the recombinant GST-CpF2KP protein was about 110 kDa. The optimum IPTG concentration and temperature for CpF2KP induction were 0.5 mmol/L and 28 ℃, respectively. The purified sin[A1] gle target protein was obtained after purifying the induced CpF2KP protein. In addition, the expression level of this gene was detected in different tissues, and showed that the gene was expressed at the highest level in seeds and the lowest in pulp. This study provides an important basis for further revealing the function of CpF2KP protein and studying the involved biological processes of this gene in papaya.
