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.

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.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors of lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and to evaluate the significance of the selective neck dissection. METHOD: Records of 82 patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma were retrospectively analyzed. Sixty patients were received a selective neck dissection (Group 1), while twenty-two were not (Group 2). RESULT: In Group 1, 13 patients were found metastasis. The incidence of metastasis was 21. 67% (13/60). The frequency of nodal metastasis with a carcinoma < 0.7 cm was 4.76%, while > or = 0.7 cm was 30.77% (P < 0.05). All patients were followed-up from 9 to 14 years (mean 59.8 months). No patients relapsed or died, and no one was found distant metastasis. CONCLUSION The papillary thyroid microcarcinoma had a high tendency to metastasize. It is more significant to perform selective neck dissection in tumors > or = 0.7 cm.
