Objective To screen an effective method for removing free polysaccharides in polysaccharide-protein conjugate of pneumococcus type 9V(Pn9V),and to optimize the process and verify its stability,so as to use it in the preparation of multivalent conjugate vaccine against pneumococcus.Methods Pn9V-CRM_(197) conjugate was prepared,of which the free polysaccharides were removed by molecular sieve(Sepharose 4FF),ion exchange chromatography(DEAE Sepharose FF),hydrophobic chromatography(GP-Butyl)and ammonium sulfate(AS)salting out. The optimal method was selected by comparing the percentage of free polysaccharides,the recovery rate of polysaccharides and the recovery rate of proteins,and the determined method was optimized for the process. Three batches of conjugates were prepared continuously to verify the stability of the process.Results Both hydrophobic chromatography and ion exchange chromatography reduced the free polysaccharides in Pn9V-CRM197 conjugate to less than 5%. The recovery rates of polysaccharide and protein by hydrophobic chromatography were 34. 7% and 50. 1%,respectively,which were higher than those by ion exchange chromatography(16. 2% and 25. 7%). Hydrophobic chromatography was determined with the optimized process including 1. 1 mol/L AS as the loading buffer,water for injection used for elution,and the conjugate loading of 1. 81 mg protein/mL filler. The free polysaccharide removal rate,polysaccharide recovery rate and protein recovery rate of the conjugates prepared continuously in three batches were good,and the consistency among batches was high. The conjugates had good stability when stored at 2-8 ℃ for 6 months,and the percentage of free polysaccharides increased significantly(F = 5. 83 e~(-32),P = 0. 003)and was more than25% when stored at(25 ± 2)℃ for 6 months,indicating that high temperature storage was not suitable for the conjugates.Conclusion A hydrophobic chromatography process was established to effectively remove free polysaccharides from Pn9V polysaccharide-protein conjugate,which has good stability and provides a reference for the removal of free polysaccharides in other pneumococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugates.

Objective To explore the effect of methylene blue photochemistry(MB-P)viral inactivation treatment on the expression of microRNA(miRNA)in plasma exosomes,in order to provide a new reference for the quality control of MB-P virus inactivated plasma. Methods Whole blood samples of 11 healthy volunteers were collected from July 2021 to April2022. Fresh plasma from the same person was prepared into two parts,fresh frozen plasma(FFP)and MB-P virus inactivated plasma,respectively. The plasma exosomes were isolated by differential centrifugation,and identified by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and nanoparticle tracking analysis(NTA). Then the expression profiles of miRNA were detected by microarray technique. Furthermore,four differentially expressed miRNA were verified by qRT-PCR,the target genes of differentially expressed miRNA were predicted by bioinformatics methods,and GO function enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis were performed on the differentially expressed genes. Results The morphological characteristics and diameters of the extracted vesicles of the two groups were consistent with the characteristics of exosomes. Compared with the control group,there were 14 differentially expressed miRNA in plasma exosomes of MB-P group,of which the expression of six miRNA was up-regulated and eight miRNA was down-regulated. The results of qRT-PCR were generally consistent with the expression trend of microarray. The target genes of differentially expressed miRNA were mainly involved in DNA binding,ion binding,catalytic activity and other functions,and participated in a variety of biological processes such as nucleic acid metabolism,biosynthesis,and transcription regulation. In addition,significantly enriched functional pathways were closely related to viral infectious diseases,tumors,PI3K-Akt signaling pathway,MAPK signaling pathway and so on.Conclusion The expression of exosome miRNA in MB-P virus inactivated plasma was different from that in FFP. The plasma exosome miRNA may be used as a potential reference for the quality evaluation of MB-P virus inactivated plasma.

Method sThe data for 122 preterm birth that was single pregnancy with preecla mpsia in our hospital from January 1993 to December 2002 were collected. The pri nciple of diagnosis and treatment, the outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. T he 122 pregnant women were divided into 3 groups according to their gestational age, more than 28 weeks and smaller than 31 +6 weeks was the first group (28 cases), more than 32 weeks and smaller than 33 +6 weeks was the second grou p (26 cases), more than 34 weeks and smaller than 36 +6 weeks was the thir d group (68 cases). The data were statisted with SAS software.Results The earlier the pregnancy-induced hypertension happened, the earlier the preeclampsia occured, the mean time was 14 03 d, 16 85 d,22 22 d, respect ively, (P0.05), the outcomes of mothers were good. Increasing the gestational age under the cond ition that the occurrene of comptications was not increased, 60 64% pregnant wo men accepted the treatment of improving the maturity of fetal lung. There were n o differences among the three groups at the morbidity of perinatal SGA, intracra nial hemorrhage (P 0.05) .ConclusionWe could improve the outcomes of pret erm birth caused by preeclampsia by enhancing the perinatal care, treating and t erminating pregnancy activey Increasing the gestational age, improving the matur ity of fetal lung would decrease the morbidity of severe RDS and improve the pe rinatal outcome effectively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and progressing stroke.Methods103 patients with acute cerebral infarction within the first 24 hours from onset were tested with carotid color doppler ultrasonography during the first week from admission. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the relationship between carotid intima media thickness (IMT), plaque structure, the degree of artery stenosis and the early deterioration of cerebral infarction.ResultsPrevalence of carotid plaque and thickness of IMT in patients with progressing stroke were higher than that in non progressing patients. In logistic regression, presence of carotid plaque was independent predictors of progressing stroke. Plaque size, extent of artery stenosis and IMT were not included in the regression model.ConclusionPlaque structure and its chemical feature may be the cause of progressing stroke.

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of single photon emission computed tomography(SPECT) imaging to supratentorial brain gliomas with technetium 99m sestamibi.Methods In 53 patients with supratentorial brain glioma,31 cases for high grade malignant glioma, 22 cases for low grade glioma were examined by SPECT,(SPECT was performed after injection 740-930 MBq MIBI for 15 min),and the coronal,sagittal and transverse views were reconstructed. MIBI uptake index was computed as the ratio of counts in foci region and the counts in contralateral homologous region.Results In high-grade malignant gliomas,the MIBI uptake index was 1.9～6.6(mean 3.6?1.4),low grade malignant gliomas was 0.8～1.7 (1.1?0.2),there is a comparison between the two groups(P

For more than a century,the treatment of cervical disorders has been greatly improved.The researches for the complications of cervical spine surgery have been enhanced during the same period.The objective of this paper is to summarize the progressive results of researches on the complications of cervical spine surgery through literature review.Common surgical complications include hematoma,dural tear,postoperative infection,C5 nerve root palsy,recurrent/superior laryngeal nerve injury,axial pain,etc.Rare complications such as esophageal injury,Homer's syndrome,vertebral artery injury,dysphagia and dyspnea caused by posterior upper cervical spine surgery have also been reported in recent years.The application of cervical instruments provides great support for the improvement of clinical efficacy.However,reports about the related complications also increases year by year,including implant displacement or broken,and special complications associated with cervical artificial disc replacement.Prevention and treatment of complications is the key in clinical practice.For those complications which already have relatively clear causes,such as soft tissue or spinal cannel hematoma,recurrent/superior laryngeal nerve injury,dural tear,accurate and effective operation is highly suggested.However,there's still no standard of operating process for preventing the complications (C5 nerve root palsy,dysphagia,axial pain,etc.),whose pathogeny are still unclear,and further studies are needed in the future.Instrument related complications caused by mal-operation or abnormal patient condition can be effectively controlled through correct medical procedures.Those instrument shortcomings of material or design aspects need to be improved by the auxiliary of cutting-edge technology for further improvement of the results of clinical application.
