Objective To evaluate the detectability of HIV antigen-antibody in the window period of acute infection by three HIV antigen-antibody assays.Methods Twenty-two samples of HIV seroconversion serum panels and thirty-seven HIV acute infected plasm samples from our laboratory collected from cohort study of men who have sex with men between 2009 and 2011,were assayed by ECLIA,CLIA and ELISA methods.All assays were evaluated for the ability to detect HIV in the window period,and the sensitivity of each assay for acute samples was analyzed.Chi square test was used for statistical analysis.Results The ability of detecting HIV in the window period of each assay was different.For HIV seroconversion serum panels,the results of ECLIA and CLIA assays were consistent,and the window period was shortened at least 1 to 5 days compared with ELISA assay.For HIV acute samples,all were HIV positive by ECLIA or CLIA assay,but for ELISA assay,94.6％ was positive.For samples before seroconversion,ECLIA and CLIA assay had the same sensitivity (93.5％),which is superior to ELISA assay (71.0％) (x2 =5.14,P ＜0.05).Conclusion The ability of detecting HIV in the window period was different for each assay.The results of ECLIA and CLIA assay are consistent,superior to ELISA assay.

Objective To explore the effects of single rectangle cage interbody fusion combined with pedicle screw fixa?tion for isthmic spondylolisthesis. Methods Data of the 34 cases with isthmic spondylolisthesis hospitalized at our department from March 2012 to February 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All cases were operated by posterior pedicle screw fixation com?bined with single rectangle cage interbody fusion. There were 21 males and 13 females, aging from 18 to 63 years old (with an aver?age age of 41.6±8.2 years). Lesion segments were L4 in 15 cases and L5 in 19 cases;there were 12 cases in Meyerding I degree, 16 in II degree and 6 in III degree;28 patients had lower back pain associated with lower limb pain;19 patients had lower back pain associated with numbness of lower limb;18 patients had lower back pain associated with lower limb muscle weakness and 2 pa?tients had urination and defecation function disturbance. The surgical operation time, bleeding, postoperative drainage flow, graft fusion rate, complications were measured, and the intervertebral disc height, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA), Oswestry disability indes (ODI), visual analogue scale (VAS) score were compared before and after treatment. Results The operation of 34 patients was successfully completed with the average operation time of 1.8 ± 0.8 h, and the bleeding in operation was 362.4 ± 93.7 ml, while postoperative drainage flow was 116.3±54.2 ml. All patients were effectively followed up for 12 months to 46 months (av?erage, one year and 10 months). Two weeks after operation, the intervertebral disc height were obviously increased (9.85±1.11 mm, 9.63 ± 1.04 mm), and there were significant difference compared with preoperative results (6.53 ± 0.98 mm, 6.24 ± 1.07 mm), but there were no significant difference compared with the latest follow?up results (9.23±1.33 mm, 9.30±1.16 mm). At the latest follow?up, JOA score was 13.19±1.08, ODI score 12.34±7.52, VAS score 2.23±1.51, and there were significantly different in each score compared with preoperative results. The symptoms of low back pain, lower limb nerve dysfunction and quality of life were signifi?cantly improved compared with preoperative situation. At the 16 month follow?up, all postoperative patients with vertebral body bone graft were judged to be fused. There was no pedicle screw loosening, fracture and so on. Conclusion Single rectangle cage interbody fusion combined with pedicle screw fixation for the treatment of isthmic spondylolisthesis is a kind of mini?invasive, less bleeding, safe and effective surgical method.

Objective To estimate the safety and efficacy of submucosal tunneling endoscopic resection (STER) on treatment of large esophageal submucosal tumors (SMTs) originating from muscularis propria layer.Methods The data of patients with large esophageal SMTs (diameter ≥ 3.5 cm) undergone STER (n=17) or endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD,n =15) at the Endoscopy Center of Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from December 2009 to March 2016 were retrospective analyzed.The therapeutic effects,hospitalization times,post-operation expenses,and occurrence of complications were evaluated and compared between the two groups.Results All the endoscopic treatments of the 32 patients were successfully completed.The operating time of the STER group was significantly longer than that of the ESD group (t =2.595,P =0.015).There was no statistical difference on the en bloc resection rate,complete resection rate and complication rate between STER group and ESD group (P＞0.05).The mean post-operative hospital stay of the STER group was significantly less than that of the ESD group (3.8± 1.0days VS 6.7±1.8 days,t=5.644,P=0.000).The mean hospital cost of the STER group was significantly less than that of the ESD group (22 456.1±5 232.0 yuan VS 27 392.5±5 747.9 yuan,t =2.543,P =0.016).The wound healing rates at 1 month after operation in the STER group was significantly higher than that of the ESD group [94.1％ (16/17) VS 20.0％ (3/15),P=0.000].No recurrence and metastasis occurred in the STER group and ESD group during the 41.2±20.6 months follow-up.Conclusion STER is a safe and effective technique for treating large esophageal SMTs originating from the muscularis propria layer,with earlier wound healing,shorter hospital stay and lower cost compared with those of the traditional method of ESD.

Objective To compare the anterograde amnesia produced by midazolam,propofol and dexmedetomidine when used to supplement sedation during neuraxial anesthesia.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 18-50 yr,with body mass index of 23-26 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective operation on lower limbs with neuraxial anesthesia,were divided into 3 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:midazolam group (group M),propofol group (group P) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).When the height of anesthesia was kept below T10,midazolam in a loading dose of O.05 mg/kg was intravenously injected in group M,propofol in a loading dose of O.4 mng/kg was intravenously injected in group P,and dexmedetomidine in a loading dose of 0.6 μg/kg was intravenously injected in group D.The infusion rate of the 3 drugs was adjusted to maintain bispectral index value at 82-86.When Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale scores achieved 3 or 4 after administration,anterograde amnesia was measured by postoperative recall of cards.The development of intraoperative hypotension,bradycardia and respiratory depression was recorded.Results Compared with group M,the incidence of global amnesia was significantly decreased in P and D groups (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of global amnesia between group P and group D (P＞ 0.05).No patients developed hypotension,bradycardia or respiratory depression in three groups.Conclusion Midazolam produces better anterograde amnesia than propofol and dexmedetomidine when used to supplement sedation during neuraxial anesthesia.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) VP4 plays an important role in immunosuppression of host. In order to develop monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against VP4, we vaccinated BALB/c mice with His-VP4, screened and subcloned positive clones. We established 4 hybridoma cell lines that stably secreted McAbs against VP4 and named these cell lines 3B3, 3H11, 4C8 and 4G6, respectively. We tested the dissociation constant (Kd) of these McAbs, and found that their K(d)s were 4.61 x 10(-11), 1.71 x 10(-10), 4.26 x 10(-11), 5.02 x 10(-11), respectively. The isotypes of these McAbs were determined to be IgG1, IgG1, IgG2b and IgG1. These McAbs specifically bound to VP4 in IBDV infected DF-1 cells as demonstrated by Western blotting analysis and fluorescence antibody assay. These McAbs would help to detect IBDV infection and to analyze the biological activities of IBDV VP4.
