To evaluate the gB antibody level of pseudorabies virus (PRV) in swine,a rapid test strip was developed.In the strip,the expressed protein of gB was labeled with colloidal gold,the staphylococcal protein A (SPA) and swine anti PRV antibody were blotted on the nitrocellulose membrane for the test and control lines,respectively.The specificity and sensitivity of the strip were detected with standard positive,negative and immunized sera of PRV,the results indicated that the strip was high specificity and sensitivity.Field swine serum samples were tested by the new strip and commercial IDEXX PRV gB ELISA kit,simultaneously.The agreement rate of the two methods was 91.04%.Furthermore,the dipstick assay based on the strip is rapid (5 min),sensitive and easy to perform.This suggests that the new strip is an acceptable alternative for field diagnosis.

Objective To explore the executive function in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Methods The evaluation of executive function was conducted in 63 mTBI patients in 1 week, 1, 3 and 6 month after injury and 60 health controls. The executive function was evaluated using Trail Making Test (TMTA), Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-revised (HVLT-R), Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-revised (BVMT-R), Stroop Color Word Tes and Con-tinuous Performance Test (CPT). Results There were significant differences between mTBI patients and controls in TM-TA, HVLT-R, BVMT-R, Stroop Color Word Test and CPT a week following TBI (P<0.05). There were a significant in-crease in scores of TMTA and a significant decrease in HVLT-R, BVMT-R, stroop and CPT-IP at 1, 3 and 6 month compared with 1 week following TBI (P<0.05). There were a significant decrease in TMTA and a significant increase in BVMT-R and stroop 1 month compared with 1 week following TBI (P<0.05). There were a significant increase in stroop, BVMT-R and CPT-IP at 3 month compared with 1 month following TBI (P<0.05). There was a significant increase in stroop and CPT-IP at 6 month compared with 3 month following TBI (P<0.05). Conclusions Patients with mTBI have executive function impairment. The recovery times of different executive function are different in patients with mTBI.
