Chinese Journal of Zoonoses 2017;33(7):628-636
In order to develop a double antibody sandwich assay (DAS-ELISA) for detecting bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV),New Zealand white rabbits and BALB/c mice were immunized with the purified G protein as an antigen to prepare anti-G protein polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies.The antibody concentration and reaction conditions of DAS-ELISA were optimized by square titration,and its sensitivity,specificity,and coincidence rate were validated.Five hybridoma were stably secreting Mab which subclass belonged to IgG1κ.Western blot and IFA test showed that PcAb and Mab could react specifically with G protein and BRSV.The PcAb and Mab as the capture antibody and detection antibody respectively,and their optimal working concentrations were determined to be 2.5 μg/mL and 10μg/mL,the critical value 0.22 and the detection limit of 1.43 μg/mL,batch,inter-assay coefficient of variation less than 10 %.The DAS-ELISA had no cross-reaction with several pathogens which often caused bovine respiratory disease.When 45 nasal swabs of clinical samples were simultaneously detected by the DAS-ELISA and RT-PCR,the sensitivity,specificity and coincidence rate were 92.0 %,100 %,95.6 %,respectively.It' s indicated that the established DAS-ELISA detection method can be used to detect a large number of clinical samples.It was the foundation of monitoring and quick diagnosis for BRSV.

Objective To evaluate the outcomes of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) for children with chronic rhinosinusitis, who had no response to medication. Methods A total of 112 children (aged 12 to 17 years) with chronic rhinosinusitis caused by abnormal anatomy of the nose cavity were treated by ESS in our hospital. Septorhinoplasty was performed on the patients under an endoscope. Conchoplasty, adenoidectomy, or nasal polypectomy was performed simultaneously if necessary. Results The patients were followed up for 6-23 months (mean 13 months). The symptoms of rhinosinusitis disappeared in 110 patients (98.2%); whereas the other 2 patients showed no obvious improvement after the operation. Conclusions By using microinvasive ESS combined with conchoplasty, children with rhinosinusitis caused by abnormal anatomy that does not respond to medication could be cured.

Objective To explore the effects of microwave irradiation on the proliferation of keloid-derived fibroblasts so as to analyze the expression of collagen-1 and the activation of the signaling pathway involved.Methods Cells from a human keloid scar were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into a control group withont any intervention,a 10 mW/cm2 microwave irradiation (10-MI) group and a 20 mW/cm2 microwave irradiation (20-MI) group.Aliquots of the latter 2 groups were irradiated at their corresponding intensities for 5 min,15 min and 30 min.The growth of fibroblasts was evaluated using MTT assay.The expression of collagen-1 and changes in the phosphorylation of protein JNK were detected using western blotting.Results Compared with the control group,no significant differences in the average growth of the keloid-derived fibroblasts were observed in the 10-MI group,but significant differences were observed in the 20-MI group and among the three sub-groups irradiated for different durations.The expression of type 1 collagen was significantly down-regulated after irradiation in a time-dependent manner.After microwave radiation at 20 mW/cm2,JNK was significantly activated compared to the control group at the different time points.Conclusions Microwave irradiation at 20 mW/cm2 can significantly inhibit the proliferation of keloid-derived fibroblasts and the down-regulalion is correlated with the irradiation's duration.It can also significantly inhibit collagen-1 expression and relieve scar formation through activating the JNK signal pathway.

The peptidyl-prolyl imide bond cis/trans isomerization of Xaa-Pro motif in the peptide and protein plays an important role to influence their conformation and function. Here, a series of model peptides including phosphorylated and its unphosphorylated counterparts were designed and synthesized. Preliminary 1H NMR experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation were used to analyze the peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans imide bond isomerization. The data indicated that the side-chain O-phosphorylation of the Xaa residues preceding proline affected evidently the isomerization and thereby regulated the peptides conformations. The charges of the phosphate moiety as well as their steric effects might be the driving force for the conformational changes of these phosphopeptides.Moreover, the obtained most stable multiple configurations and their statistic cis/trans concentration distribution in MD simulation were basically consistent with the NMR experiments, which demonstrated that phosphorylation increased the cis conformation of the peptide and the maximum cis ratio is given while the phosphate group has no negative charge.
