1.Repertoire Antibody Library Constructed from Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes with in vitro Immunization with Colorectal Carcinoma-Associated Antigen
Chinese Journal of Cancer Biotherapy 1995;0(02):-
A Strategy was established for construction of repertoire antibody library with affinity chromatography purifying antigen, antigen immunizing human lymphocytes, RT-PCR and phage display technology. The colorectal carcinoma-associated antigen CA-Hb3 was purified with affinity column and analysed with SDS-PAGE and Western-blot, then applied for immunizing peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) in vitro. The PBL were isolated from ten patients with colorectal carcinoma and cultured with interleukin 2 and pokeweed mitogen, lymphoblast-like cells occurred and colonies formed after immunization. Three VH-CHl(?) and five VL-CL(?,?) genes were amplified from their total RNA and mRNA with RT-PCR. Three VH (?) and 8 VL (?,?) genes were reamplified and randomly combined to construct 24 single-chain variable fragments (ScFv) genes through (Gly_(4)Ser)_(3) linker. ScFv genes digested with Sfi I were cloned into fUSE 5 vector and transformed into MC1061 with electroporation. Repertoire antibody library was obtained with 10~(6) tetracycline-resistant colonies, in which the percentage of ScFv inserts was 85 % . This strategy might be used for humanizing mouse-original monoclonal antibody.
2.Advance in Nutrition Metabolism of Patients with Spinal Cord Injury (review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2016;22(12):1408-1411
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a common traumatic disease. SCI causes nutritional and metabolic abnormalities including malnu-trition and overnutrition. This article reviewed nutritional metabolism assessments, the changes and reasons after SCI. Spinal Nutrition Screening Tool (SNST) and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool (MUST) are commonly used to evaluate malnutrition in adult. Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Paediatrics (STAMP) is used to evaluate malnutrition in child. Body mass index, waist circumfer-ence and dual-energy X-ray are used to evaluate overnutrition. SCI causes increasement of total caloric intake, disturbance of carbohydrate metabolism, disturbance of fat and protein metabolism, increasement of metabolic syndrome incidence, high risk of coronary heart disease, and abnormal bone metabolism. Individual diet program should be provided to SCI patients for balanced nutrition. Periodic assessments are also necessary.

Objective To investigate the cardioprotective effects of 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA) pretreatment against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Methods Sixteen male Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 8 each):(1) 3-NPA group received intraperitoneal 3-NPA 4 mg?kg-1 24 h before the animals were sacrificed and (2) control group received normal saline instead of 3-NPA. The animals were sacrificed and the hearts were immediately removed and mounted on Langendorff apparatus and perfused with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 at 37℃ . After being perfused for 30 min the hearts were subjected to 30 min global ischemia by suspension of perfusion followed by 60 min reperfusion. The HR, left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and ? dp/dtmaxd were recorded before ischemia and at 30 and 60 min of reperfusion. Coronary effluent was collected at 15 min of reperfusion for determination of CK and LDH activity. At the end of 60 min reperfusion the hearts were removed for determination of myocardial MDA content and SOD activity.Results LVDP and ? dp/dtmax recovered significantly better in 3-NPA group than in control group. The myocardial MDA content, CK and LDH release were significantly lower in 3-NPA group than in control group. The myocardial SOD activity was significantly higher in 3-NPA group than in control group. Conclusion Chemical preconditioning with 3-NPA protects the heart from I/R injury.

Objective To improve the traditional percutaneous cholecystolithotripsy in order to elevate the success rate and to discuss its indications. Methods With selfmade apparatus, we modified the open procedure which is otherwise impossible in removing the stones. We have followed 120 patients for 3 to 36 months to look into the recurrence of cholelithiasis. Results We have succeeded in 287 operations in a total of 291 (98 6%) cases. Among which 99 cases (34 5%) received modified open procedures, and the postoperative course was all uneventful. 120 patients were followed up postoperatively from 3 to 36 months and the stone recurrence rate was 13 3% (16 cases). Statistical analysis showed that the stone recurrence rate in patients with 3 stones and up, or poor gallbladder function was significantly higher than those with less than 3 stones and or good gallbladder function.Conclusions The percutaneous cholecystolithotripsy with improved procedures can effectively increase the success rate of operation. According to our result the indications should be restricted to those with less than 3 stones and or with good gallbladder functions.
