Objective: To construct TCR V? nucleic acid vaccine. Methods: A fragment of TCR V? gene was amplified by RT- PCR from a human T lymphoma cell line, Jurkat, and cloned into eukaryotic expression plasmid pcDNA3 by gene recombination. After sequencing, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into SP2/0 cells and its expression was detected on mRNA level. BALB/c mice were immunized with pcDNA3 and the recombinant plasmid by intramuscular routes. Antiserum was collected and detected by immunocytochemistry method. Results: A fragment of TCR V? gene from Jurkat cells was obtained and proved to be identical to published sequence. A recombinant plasmid pcDNA3-TCR V? was comstructed. Its expression was detectable on mR- NA level after being transfected into SP2/0 cells. Antiserum from mice immunized with pcDNA3-TCR V? reacted strongly with Ju- rkat cells and SP2/0 cells transfected by pcDNA3-TCR V?, while shows no reaction on CEM cells expressing TCR?? and SP2/0 cells. Antisera from normal force and mice immunized with pcDNA3 were both negative on Jurkat cells. The results of immunocy- tochemistry indicated that BALB/c mice immunized with pcDNA3-TCR V? produced specific antibody to Jurkat TCR V?.Conclu sion: The TCR V? nucleic acid vaccine we constructed can induce humoral immunity.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between CT attenuation value of pulmonary artery thrombi and the efficacy of interventional thrombolysis in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE).Methods:This was a single center cross-sectional study. The clinical and imaging data of 89 APE patients who underwent interventional thrombolysis in Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) before and after thrombolysis, the CT attenuation value of pulmonary artery thrombi and ratio of CT attenuation value of thrombi to left subscapularis muscle CT value were obtained; and the difference of Qanadli embolism index (ΔQ) before and after thrombolysis was calculated. According to the median ΔQ, patients were classified as good efficacy group (ΔQ>50%) and poor efficacy group (ΔQ≤50%). The clinical characteristics and quantitative parameters of CT were compared between the two groups, and the factors associated with efficacy of thrombolysis were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The correlation between CT attenuation value of pulmonary artery thrombi and ΔQ was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results:The CT attenuation value of thrombi and ratio of attenuation value of thrombi to left subscapularis muscle CT value showed significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that compared with CT attenuation value of emboli≤53.47 HU, the value>53.47 HU might be associated with the good efficacy of thrombosysis ( OR=9.175, 95% CI: 0.937-89.846, P=0.057). There was a positive correlation between CT value of pulmonary artery thrombi and ΔQ ( r=0.365, P<0.001). Conclusion:The CT attenuation value of thrombi can predict the efficacy of interventional thrombolysis in APE patients, and patients with higher CT attenuation value would have a better treatment response.

Objective To analyze the clinical application value of cinematic rendering(CR)reconstruction technology in acute aortic dissection(AAD),and to compare the imaging quality between CR and volume rendering(VR)reconstruction.Methods Patients with suspected A AD who underwent aortic computed tomography angiography(CTA)were analyzed retrospectively.All images were uploaded to Siemens Syngo.via post-processing workstation for VR and CR three-dimensional reconstruction,respectively.The optimized view angle,staining and transparency were selected and segmented by a radiologist to display the lesion to the full extent.All subjective evaluations of post-processing images were randomly evaluated on Siemens Syngo.via post-processing workstation by two radiologists.The two radiologists reached a consensus after consultation,and the results without consensus were evaluated by another senior radiologist.The 3-point scale was used in the subjective evaluation of post-processing images.The scores of rupture,endometrium,and true and false cavity were recorded.The diagnostic confidence was also recorded.Results A total of 21 ADD patients were enrolled,11 patients(52.3%)were Debakey Ⅲ type.The scores of rupture in CR and VR reconstruction were 2.952 points and 2.619 points,respectively,which had significant difference(P=0.016).For the endometrium of AAD,the score of all 21 patients in the CR reconstruction was 3 points,while only 7 patients(33.3%)in the VR reconstruction had 3 points,which showed significant difference between the both(P<0.001).For the true and false cavity of AAD,only 1 patient(4.8%)in the VR reconstruction was 3 points,while all 21 patients in the CR reconstruction had 3 points(P<0.001).The scores of CR reconstruction on the diagnostic confidence were significantly higher than those of VR reconstruction(P<0.001).Conclusion CR reconstruction can provide photorealistic anatomical post-processing images,and can improve the display and evaluation of AAD.
