Objective To clone the full length staphylococcal protein A(SPA) gene from Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538), and subsequently study the gene structure and antibody binding ability.Methods The full length and the functional region of the SPA gene were cloned into pHisSUMO vector respectively, and expressed in E. coli. The full length and the functional fragment of the SPA protein were detected for antibody binding ability and stability. The functional fragment of the SPA protein fused with SUMO was coupled to the CNBr-activated agarose for antibody purification from rabbit serum. Results A variant of the full length SPA gene was cloned, which has been submitted to GenBank (the accession number is EU695225). Two fusion proteins had the same antibody binding ability as the untagged SPA protein. However, the formers was more stable than the latter at the tested conditions. SUMO-SPA conjugated-agarose kept high efficiency for antibody binding. Conclusion To our knowledge, the full length SPA gene of S.aureus(ATCC6538) is a novel variant. The SUMO tag can improve the stability of the functional region of the SPA protein without damaging the antibody binding ability. This fusion protein has been used for antibody purification successfully.

BACKGROUND: With further understanding of deep venous thrombosis(DVT)following total hip replacement,reduction and prevention of DVT has become hot topic in clinical studies.The reports of DVT formation factors remain controversial due to small samples,little statistical significance,confusion of basic experimental and clinical results and lacks of science.OBJECTIVE: To explore the causes and factors for the early DVT following total hip replacement and summarize measures to prevent and treat early DVT to reduce incidence of complications.METHODS: A total of 1780 cases of primary total hip replacement operation were analyzed retrospectively.The statistical indexes included sex,age,body mass,other system disease,previous hip joint operation,anesthesia,operative time,prosthetic fixation,blood transfusion,postoperative functional exercise,antithrombotics,and complication.Standardized database was built and analyzed by SPSS(version 13).Regression analysis was performed using Binary Logistic Regression.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Of 1780 cases,136 had DVT.Age,other system diseases,anesthesia,prosthetic fixation,blood transfusion,postoperative functional exercise and antithrombotics were correlated with early DVT(P < 0.05).Old age,hypertension or diabetes,general anesthesia,fixation of bone cement,whole blood transfusion were the risk factors for early DVT following total hip replacement,while postoperative functional exercise and antithrombotics were the protective factors for DVT.The incidence rate of early complications can be reduced by the methods such as dealing with perioperative treatment carefully,effectively controlling the chronic diseases,efficient evaluation before surgery,precise manipulation,and the postoperative prophylactic treatment and nursing.

BACKGROUND:Currently, surgical treatment for Sanders III type, IV type fractures to restore damaged subtalar surface of the calcaneus and calcaneal shape, in order to reduce the incidence of traumatic arthritis has reached a consensus, and whether bone grafting is selected during surgery for calcaneal fractures has been a controversial issue. OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect of Genex synthetic bone transplants and locking plate on comminuted calcaneal fractures. METHODS:Twenty-one cases of Sanders III type, IV type calcaneal fractures were retrospectively analyzed, including 16 males and 5 females, aged 22 to 55 years. After fracture reduction, a dough-like Genex bone graft was implanted into the defect region via lateral“L”shaped approach, and then the lateral wal of the bone was reset fol owed by internal fixation with the pre-curved locking plate. Fol ow-up observation was performed for fracture healing, Bolher angle and the Maryland Foot Score. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Total y 21 patients were fol owed up for 8-16 months. The fractures were healed without displacement, col apse and rejection. The bone graft was degraded within 6 months and completed absorbed after 1 year. According to Maryland Foot Score, the excellent rate was up to 86%, and the Bolher angle was increased from an average preoperative (5.3±3.35)° to postoperative (24.3±1.06)°. Genex artificial bone meal is a biomaterial that can be completely absorbed, has good plasticity and strong supporting force, and it is able to ful y fil bone defects, be easy to fracture reduction, induce bone formation, and promote fracture healing.

BACKGROUND:At present, the incidence rates of knee joint diseases such as knee osteoarthritis, knee joint degenerative are high. The major clinical treatment is total knee replacement in the clinic, so it is necessary to evaluate the changes in stress and bone mineral density of the regions surrounding the prosthesis after replacement. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To explore periprosthetic stress and bone mineral density and to analyze their correlation after total knee arthroplasty. ＜br> METHODS:A total of 20 cases undergoing total knee arthroplasty were chosen.The hospital for special surgery scores were used to evaluate patients’ functional recovery at 12 months after total knee arthroplasty. The periprosthetic femur was divided into four regions of interest (ROI), respectively ROI 1-4;periprosthetic tibia was divided into three regions of interest, respectively ROI 5-7. Stress surrounding the prosthesis was analyzed using three-dimensional finite element analysis at 1, 3, 6 months, 1, 2, 3 years after replacement. Simultaneously, bone mineral density surrounding the prosthesis was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No patients affected infection or loosening of the prosthesis. At 12 months after replacement, the score of hospital for special surgery was (90.23±2.37), which showed significant differences as compared with before replacement (39.68±1.31) (P＜0.05). The level of stress shielding was highest in ROI 5 and lowest in ROI 3. Stress shielding rate of ROI increased with statistical difference at 6 months after operation (P＜0.05). At 1, 2, 3 years after operation, shielding rate in periprosthetic femoral stress in ROI 1 decreased. Compared with 1 month after operation, the difference was statistical y significant (P＜0.05). However, shielding rate of tibial periprosthetic stress in ROI 6 increased. Compared with 1 month after operation, the difference was statistical y significant (P＜0.05). Bone mineral density after 1 month after operation had no significant decrease (P>0.05). At 3 months after operation, bone mineral density began to decline significantly (P＜0.01). The decrease was most obviously in ROI 5 and the change was least in ROI 3. After 1 year of operation, bone mineral density did not change significantly. These data indicated that changes in bone mineral density were correlated with stress shielding after total knee arthroplasty. Monitoring two variations can provide theoretical data for preventing bone loss, which provides references for clinical rehabilitation guidance.

Objective To discuss how to reduce the incidence of postoperative infection and am-putation of patients after earthquake.Methods The wound infection and corresponding therapeutic outcome were analyzed in 592 patients in front line hospitals and station hospitals.Results The inci-dence of infection was 30. 7% in patients treated in front hospital within 8 hours post-trauma but 79. 9% after 8 hours post-trauma. There included 1 patient(0. 2%) with amputation due to clostridial myonecro-sis and 5(1. 2%)with amputation due to serious infection. Incidelice of postoperative wound infection was 7. 1% after selective operation for close injury. The incidence of infection in patients in station hospi-tals was 50. 8%, with no amputation, because they received debridement and antibiotics in site or front line hospitals. No postoperative infection was found in patients with close injury treated with selective op-eration in station hospitals. The major bacteria of wound infection in either front line hospitals or station hospitals were enterococcus faecalis and Eschrichia Coli. Incidence of combined infection was higher than that of single infection. And Gram-Negative bacillus infection exceeded Gram-Positive bacillus infection. The major wound infection obrained effective control through treatment with sensitive antibiotics.Con-clusions After earthqiale, the incidence of infection in patients with open injury is high, with high am-putation rate due to serious infection. Therefore, we propose performing as soon as possible debridement and external fixation with antibiotic treatment but reducing internal fixation. The postoperative infection late of patients with close injury in front line hospitals is much higher than that in station hospitals;their-fore, patients with stable vital signs should be transported to station hospitals as early as possible in order to reduce incidenee of infection.
