Bacteriophages are viruses that infect microorganisms such as bacteria,fungi,actinomycetes and spirochetes.Because of the inherent immunogenicity,genetic plasticity,stability,safety and many other advantages,it has unique potential in vaccine research and development. At present,there are countless researches using it to construct vaccine delivery platforms,mainly including three forms,phage display vaccine,phage DNA vaccine and hybrid phage DNA vaccine,of which the phage display vaccine is the most widely studied. Phage display technology is a novel vaccine preparation technology,which is a molecular biology technology using phage as carrier,integrating foreign polypeptide or protein genes into phage genes and displaying them on the surface of phage in the form of fusion protein. This review mainly elaborated the immunological basis of phage display vaccine,the display system and its application in disease prevention,so as to provide a reference for the development and application of phage display vaccine.

Objective To construct a recombinant M13 phage vaccine targeting the outer membrane protein P6 of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae(NTHi) and evaluate its immunogenicity in order to provide new ideas for further development of NTHi vaccines. Methods The NTHi P6 gene was fused with the vector pMECS Phagemid by gene recombination technique.After packaging and purification, the obtained recombinant P6-M13 phage was prepared into recombinant P6-M13 phage vaccine. The expression of P6-M13 PⅢ fusion protein in the vaccine was detected by Western blot, the vaccine titer was determined by double-layer agar plate method, and the recombinant P6-M13 phage morphology was observed under transmission electron microscope. Ninety 5-week-old BALB/c female mice were randomly divided into PBS group, M13 phage group and recombinant P6-M13 phage vaccine group, 30 for each, and intraperitoneally injected with PBS(500 μL/mouse), M13 phage[1 × 10~(12)pfu/(500 μL·mouse)]and recombinant P6-M13 phage vaccine[1 × 10~(12)pfu/(500 μL·mouse)]on the 0, 14th and28th day, separately. Two weeks after the last immunization, the levels of specific IgG in serum and IFNγ, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5and IL-17A in spleen lymphocyte culture supernatant were detected by ELISA, and the proliferation of spleen lymphocytes was analyzed by CCK-8. Three weeks after the last immunization, the mice were challenged with 1. 5 × 108cfu/mL NTHi through the nasal cavity. After one week of challenge, the pathological changes of nasal mucosa and lung tissue were observed by HE staining. Four weeks after the last immunization, the heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of mice were weighed, the organ coefficients were calculated, and histopathological sections were prepared for pathological observation.Results The recombinant P6-M13 phage could correctly express P6-M13 PⅢ fusion protein with a titer of 5. 5 × 10~(14) pfu/mL,and the recombinant P6-M13 phage with regular morphology was observed under microscope. Compared with M13 phage group and PBS group, the level of serum specific antibody IgG in mice of recombinant P6-M13 phage vaccine group was significantly higher(F = 71. 489, P < 0. 05); the levels of IFNγ, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-5 secreted by mouse spleen cells decreased significantly(F = 8. 315, 16. 986, 39. 204 and 6. 291, respectively, each P < 0. 05), while there was no significant difference in IL-17 level among the three groups(F = 0. 863, P > 0. 05); the spleen cell stimulation index increased significantly(F =22. 952, P < 0. 05). After challenge, the nasal mucosa and lung tissue structures of mice in PBS group and M13 phage group were seriously damaged, and inflammatory cells increased, while in the recombinant P6-M13 phage vaccine group, the structures of nasal mucosa and lung tissue were normal with few inflammatory cells. There was no significant difference in the organ coefficients of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of mice in each group(F = 1. 012, 1. 642, 0. 300, 2. 079, and 0. 405, respectively,each P > 0. 05), and no pathological changes were found in the general color morphology and pathological sections of the main organs. Conclusion The constructed recombinant P6-M13 phage vaccine targeting NTHi outer membrane protein P6 can induce effective humoral and cellular immunity in mice with certain immune protection ability and good safety.

Changes in heart rate of fetal is function regulating performance of the circulatory system and the central nervous system, it is significant to detect heart rate of fetus in perinatal fetal. This paper puts forward the fetal heart rate detection method based on short time Fourier transform and blind source separation. First of all, the mixed ECG signal was preprocessed, and then the wavelet transform technique was used to separate the fetal ECG signal with noise from mixed ECG signal, after that, the short-time Fourier transform and the blind separation were carried on it, and then calculated the correlation coefficient of it, Finally, An independent component that it has strongest correlation with the original signal was selected to make FECG peak detection and calculated the fetal instantaneous heart rate. The experimental results show that the method can improve the detection rate of the FECG peak (R), and it has high accuracy in fixing peak(R) location in the case of low signal-noise ratio.

Fractal, a mathematics concept, is used to describe an image of self-similarity and scale invariance. Some organisms have been discovered with the fractal characteristics, such as cerebral cortex surface, retinal vessel structure, cardiovascular network, and trabecular bone, etc. It has been preliminarily confirmed that the three-dimensional structure of cells cultured in vitro could be significantly enhanced by bionic fractal surface. Moreover, fractal theory in clinical research will help early diagnosis and treatment of diseases, reducing the patient's pain and suffering. The development process of diseases in the human body can be expressed by the fractal theories parameter. It is of considerable significance to retrospectively review the preparation and application of fractal surface and its diagnostic value in medicine. This paper gives an application of fractal and its theories in the medical science, based on the research achievements in our laboratory.

Iron deficiency could cause hemoglobin synthesis decrease,and then lead to iron deficiency a-nemia(IDA).The present study has found that incorrect feeding,gastrointestinal disease and deficiency of trace elements are high risks of IDA.Whether febrile seizure is associated with IDA is still controversial.Recent re-search has discovered that infant iron deficiency can lead to poor cognitive inhibitory control,while delayed cord clamping and other measures can effectively prevent IDA in children.Discontinuous complement iron agent can also achieve good effect on treatment.

Objective To compare the antiviral efficacy and economics between lamivudine and entecavir in patients with low preoperative HBV replication after liver transplantation. Methods Liver transplantation patients from 2006 July to 2013 July were selected for being studied prospectively. Statistically evaluated between entecavir and lamivudine efficacy by the analysis of postoperative follow-up of seroconversion and HBV reinfection. Results The cumulative overcast rate of entecavir group was 98.04% one month after transplatation. And 3 of 51 cases were reinfected with average turn time of 9.73 days. Meanwhile , the cumulative overcast rate of Lamivudine group was 100% and 3 of 26 cases were reinfected with average turn time of 5.11 days. There are no statistical differences between the two groups accumulation rate , reinfection rates , as well as cumulative infection rates. Conclusion In the cases of low hepatitis B virus replication before liver transplantation, Entecavir and Lamivudine have the similar effect of preventing HBV reinfection after operation. Compared with the cost of Entecavir group, Lamivudine is more economy.

Objective To observe the effect of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) and Biphase positive airway pressure (BIPAP) on the oxygen exchange indexes in newborns with mild to moderate neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS).Methods After infusion of pulmonary suffactant into lung bilaterally,116 cases with mild to moderate NRDS were treated with nCPAP(nCPAP group,n =75) and BIPAP(BIPAP group,n =41) respectively.Oxygen exchange indexes including arterial partial pressure of oxygen [pa (O2)],modified oxygenation index (P/F),alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference (A-aDO2),respiratory index (RI),artery/alveolar oxygen partial pressure ratio[pa (O2)/pA (O2)] and pulmonary shunt fraction (Qs/Qt) were measured or calculated at 0 (before treatment),2,8 and 24 h after being treated with nCPAP or BIPAP.Results Six different oxygen exchange indexes of Pa (O2),P/F,A-aDO2,RI,pa (O2)/pA(O2) and Qs/Qt in both groups didn't show statistical significance at 0 hour:pa(O2) (kPa) (6.1 ±0.6 vs 6.1 ±0.6,t =0.11,P ＞0.05),P/F(kPa) (15.59 ± 1.45 vs 15.71 ± 1.45,t =1.59,P ＞ 0.05),A-aDO2(kPa)(6.04 ±0.64 vs 6.24 ±0.69,t =1.59,P ＞0.05),RI(6.0 ± 1.0 vs 6.2 ± 1.1,t =1.35,P ＞ 0.05),p,(O2)/pA(O2) (0.24 ±0.02 vs 0.25 ±0.03,t =1.63,P ＞0.05)and Qs/Qt(％)(11.9±1.6 vs 11.6 ± 1.6,t =1.10,P ＞ 0.05).A-aDO2,RI,pa (O2)/pA (O2) and Qs/Qt of BIPAP group had more improvement than those of nCPAP at 2 and 24 h,and oxygen exchange indexes at 2 h of BIPAP group and those of nCPAP group were:A-aDO2 (kPa) (3.83 ±0.49 vs 4.24 ± 0.67,t =18.26,P ＜ 0.05),RI(2.7 ± 0.5 vs 3.3 ±0.7,t =20.59,P ＜ 0.05),p,(O2)/pA(O2) (0.35 ±0.03 vs 0.32 ±0.04,t =15.35,P ＜0.05) and Qs/Qt(％) (8.8 ± 1.6 vs 9.8 ±2.0,t =7.68,P ＜ 0.05) ; 24 h indexes in BIPAP group and the indexes of nCPAP group were:A-aDO2 (kPa) (2.29 ± 1.19 vs 3.07 ± 1.67,t=18.43,P ＜0.05),RI(1.4 ±1.4 vs 2.3 ± 1.6,t=25.02,P ＜0.05),pa(O2)/pA(O2) (0.49 ±0.10 vs 0.42 ±0.11,t =14.96,P ＜0.05) and Qs/Qt(％) (6.5 ±3.0 vs 8.5 ±4.4,t =9.59,P ＜0.05).pa(O2) and P/F of both groups didn't show statistical difference significantly [Pa (O2)(kPa) (12.6 ± 1.0 vs 12.7 ± 1.0,t =3.76,P ＞ 0.05),P/F(28.49 ± 3.17 vs 31.85 ± 2.85,t =3.76.P ＞ 0.05)].Nineteen cases in nCPAP group needed invasive mechanical ventilation,and only 3 cases in BIPAP group underwent the procedure;there was a significant difference (x2 =4.01,P ＜ 0.05).Oxygen exchange indexes in both groups were gradually improved from 2 h,8 h to 24 h,but 22 deteriorated cases showed no improvement,who underwent invasive ventilation.Positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) positive airway pressure (EPAP) was (0.42 ± 0.19) kPa in BIPAP group,and (0.56 ± 0.23) kPa in nCPAP group (t =3.45,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions 1.BIPAP and nCPAP can improve the ability of oxygen exchange in newborns with mild to moderate NRDS,but BIPAP is more effective than nCPAP,which can shorten the possibility of invasive ventilation and reduce the PEEP level.2.p,(O2),P/F,pa (O2)/pA (O2) and RI may be more suitable for evaluating oxygen exchange for neonatal NRDS.

Protein acetylation extensively regulates fundamental biological process, such as cardiovascular homeostasis and tu-morigenesis. Mechanism of protein acetylation and its abnormal changes during diseases has become one of the basic questions in medical research. Vascular aging is inseparable from the occur-rence and development of senile hypertension and coronary ather-osclerosis. Endothelial cell senescence plays a key role during this process. This paper reviews the research progress in acetyla-tion regulation during vascular aging, and the prospects of the re-search in this field.

Perioperative nutrition support may be required when the synthesis and utilization of nutrients become disordered due to gastrointestinal abnormalities and trauma anesthesia. Proper nutrition support can reduce or prevent malnutrition, and thus facilitate the recovery and lower complications and case-fatality rate.
