Objective To construct two DNA vaccines based on two glycoprotein antigen segments of Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever virus (XHFV) and to evaluate the immune responses in BALB/c mice following vaccination.Methods Two recombinant expression plasmids pVAX1-GcⅠand pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ were constructed by inserting XHFV YL04057 strain Gc Ⅰ (1 229-1 349 aa) and Gc Ⅱ (1 443-1 566 aa) fragments into the eukaryotic expression vector pVAX1 and then were identify by restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis.The recombinant expression plasmids were transfected into mice by hydrodynamics-based transfection.Immune responses induced in mice were evaluated by testing the proliferation of T cells with MTT,measuring serum antibody level with ELISA and detecting cytokines in the supernatant of spleen cell culture with ELISA kit.Results The recombinant expression plasmids were successfully constructed as indicated by the results of restriction enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis.Expression of Gc Ⅰ and Gc Ⅱ genes in mice liver tissues was detected.Antibody titers in mice immunized with pVAX1-GcⅠor pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ were higher than those in mice immunized with pVAX1.Compared with pVAX1,pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ significantly enhanced the proliferation of splenic T lymphocytes and the expression of IFN-γ (P<0.01).Conclusion The constructed two DNA vaccines for XHFV can induce specific humoral and cellular immune responses in mice.pVAX1-Gc Ⅱ is better than pVAX1-GcⅠin immunogenicity and protective efficacy,suggesting that it can be used as a promising candidate for the development of DNA vaccine for XHFV.

Objective To express and purify two domains GcⅠand GcⅡof Xinjiang hemorrhagic fever virus (XHFV) glycoprotein, and to study its immunogenicity and the effects on immune response in mice. Methods The prokaryotic expression plasmids of pET28a-GcⅠand pET32a-GcⅡwere constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21, respectively. The expression and purification conditions of rGcⅠand rGcⅡproteins were optimized. The antigenicity of the fusion protein was detected by Western Blot and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). BALB/c mice were immunized by protein immunization and DNA priming-protein boosting. The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, including pVAX1-GcⅠ+rGcⅠgroup, pVAX1-GcⅡ+rGcⅡgroup, rGcⅠgroup, rGcⅡgroup and saline group (control group) with 7 mice in each group. The serum antibody titer of mice was detected by indirect ELISA, and the immune effect was evaluated by spleen T lymphocyte proliferation assay and cytokine content determination. Results The fusion proteins rGcⅠand rGcⅡwere purified and obtained, which could react with positive serum of sheep and had good antigenicity. After three immunizations, the IgG levels in the serum of each experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.001). The serum antibody titers of the experimental groups were reached above 1:12800. Among them, the concentration of Th2 type cytokine interleukin-4 (IL-4) in the spleen cell culture supernatant of rGcⅡ[(79.97±7.47) ng/L] and pVAX1-GcⅡ+rGcⅡgroup [(61.43±9.27) ng/L] was significantly higher than (24.29±3.81) ng/L of the control group, respectively (all P<0.01). The highest mass concentration [(42.46 ±2.60) ng/L] of Th1 type cytokine interferon-γ(IFN-γ) was observed in the pVAX1-GcⅡ+rGcⅡ group, which was significantly higher than (20.33±1.67) ng/L of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.001). That showed a significant antigen-specific splenic T lymphocyte proliferation (P<0.001). Conclusions The purified recombinant proteins rGcⅠand rGcⅡhave good immunogenicity, which can make the immune system T lymphocytes tend to Th2 response, and pVAX1-GcⅡ combined with recombinant protein GcⅡ can induce better antigen-specific immune effect. And pVAX1-GcⅡ combined with recombinant protein GcⅡis expected to be used as vaccine candidates for the prevention and control of XHFV.

Objective:To investigate the utilization of health management services and its influencing factors among new urban population.Methods:It is a cross-sectional study. From July 2020 to March 2021, a stratified random sampling method was used to extract 1978 new urban population in Jining city, and an anonymous self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted using a self-made questionnaire ′Residents Health Questionnaire′. The survey included general demographic characteristics, personal behavior lifestyle and medical care status. The χ2 test and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the factors influencing the utilization of health management services by new urban population. Results:The overall utilization of health management services in the new urban population was 47.22%. There were significant differences in utilization of health management services among new urban population with different gender, age, education level, occupation and monthly income. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that female ( OR=1.354, 95% CI: 1.094-1.676), people aged over 60 years ( OR=1.873, 95% CI: 1.413-2.483), people with a mean monthly income over 3 000 yuan ( OR=1.498, 95% CI: 1.123-1.997), people engaged in light manual labor ( OR=1.596, 95% CI: 1.003-2.539), people who exercise regularly( OR=2.400, 95% CI: 2.028-2.841) and people having social basic medical insurance ( OR=2.633, 95% CI: 2.042-3.394) had better utilization of health management projects. People who sat more than 3 hours a day ( OR=0.630, 95% CI: 0.532-0.745) had lower utilization of health management care. Conclusion:The utilization of health management projects in the new urban population is low. Gender, age, monthly income, physical exercise, sedentary time, daily labor intensity and social basic medical insurance status are the main influencing factors.

Objective To analyze miR-92a expression and its clinical significance in the plasma of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods Plasma samples from 44 SLE patients,16 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and 20 healthy controls were collected.The small RNAs in these plasma samples were isolated and reversely transcribed.Using cel-miR-39 as the external reference,the levels of miR-92a expression were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method.MiR-92a and cel-miR-39 were analyzed by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and agarose gel electrophoresis.The sensitivity and specificity of miR-92a as SLE were analyzed by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The correlation between the levels of miR-92a expression and the clinic pathological features of SLE and biological significance of miR-92a expression in SLE were further analyzed by Pearson or Chi-square test.Results Our data indicated that the plasma levels of miR-92a expression was 49.20 (5.33,95.17) in SLE patients,411.30 (320.84,504.69) in healthy controls,and 25.59(11.20,30.54) in RA patients.The difference was significant (x2=40.77,P＜0.01).The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.958 for discriminating between SLE patients and normal subjects and 1.00 for discriminating between RA patients and healthy controls.The levels of miR92a expression cutoff values were set the as 198.59 for healthy control and 85.35 for RA patients,the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity were 93.2％,90％,and 100％,100％,res-pectively.The analysis of the correlation between miR-92a expression and the clinic pathological features of SLE had shown that the levels of plasma miR-92a expressions were much lower in SLE patients with down-regulated complement C3,and up-regulated urea nitrogen,creatinine,LDH,ATH (all P＜0 05).Conclusion Down-regulated miR-92a expression in plasma of SLE may be involved in the SLE disease occurrence or development and could be used as a novel potential diagnostic biomarker for SLE.

Objective:To study the clinical significance of bilateral asymmetric signs of lungs of bedside ultrasound in order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary diseases and protocol of pulmonary ultrasound.Methods:The ultrasound imaging data of patients admitted to the department of critical care medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from September 2017 to May 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data of patients were collected, and the lung ultrasound image data and clinical diagnosis were sorted and analyzed.Results:A total of 535 critical patients ultrasound imaging data were reviewed, and 469 patients who were unable to obtain clear lung ultrasound images and lung symmetry signs were excluded. Finally, a total of 66 patients with ultrasound bilateral lung asymmetry signs during hospitalization were enrolled in the analysis. Seventeen patients (25.76%) had pneumothorax with unilateral pleural slide or lung spot, 12 (18.18%) had pneumonia with unilateral focal B line, fragment sign and tissue like sign, 21 (31.82%) had unilateral pleural effusion with unilateral liquid dark area, 8 (12.12%) had sputum obstruction with unilateral local lung consolidation and bronchial filling sign with atelectasis, and 5 (7.58%) had deep tracheal intubation. The above ultrasonic diagnoses were confirmed by chest X-ray, chest CT, fiberoptic bronchoscopy and laboratory examination. One patient with unilateral focal B-line was transferred to another hospital for treatment, and 2 patients died of sudden death due to disappearance of unilateral pleural sliding sign or unilateral pulmonary pulsation sign. The clinical diagnosis was not clear (4.54%).Conclusion:The asymmetric signs of pulmonary ultrasound clearly indicate the existence of pulmonary diseases that need to be treated in a timely manner, and the pulmonary ultrasound examination protocol of bilateral contrast is helpful for clinical diagnosis.

【Objective】 To investigate the immune status of blood donors in Yangzhou area after SARS-COV-2 vaccinating. 【Methods】 Among 112 voluntary blood donors from August 29 to September 22, 2021, 111 were vaccinated with SARS-COV-2 vaccine.IgM antibody(by enzyme-linked immunocapture method), IgG antibody(by indirect method of combined immunoassay)and IgG antibody titer were detected. 【Results】 A total of 99.11% (111/112 ) voluntary blood donors were vaccinated, two-shot(n=103), one-shot(n=1) and three-shot (n=7) accounting for 91.96%, 0.89% and 6.25%, respectively.Eighty-eight (78.57%) were positive for IgG antibodies, and 14 (12.5%) were positive for IgM antibodies.No statistically significant difference was found in IgG and IgM positive yielding between males and females (P>0.05). The proportion (0.89%, 1/112) of positive IgM in blood donors with blood type A was significantly lower than that of other blood types (P<0.01). The IgG antibody titer of blood donors maintained rather high level within 6 months after vaccinating.47.66% of the donors presented antibody titer more than 160, and 5.60% had IgM antibody been detected within 1 month after vaccinating. 【Conclusion】 At present, the SARS-COV-2 vaccination effect in China is generally good.Since IgG antibodies cannot be detected after 6 months, it is suggested to perform IgG antibody testing for donors who have completed the second dose for more than 6 months.For those IgG antibody negative, booster shots should be conducted.For donors with high IgG antibody titer, their plasma may be considered to replace with COVID-19 convalescent plasma for the treatment of patients with rapid disease progression, or severe/critically ill patients diagnosed with COVID-19, so as to avoid the risk of COVID-19 re-spreading during convalescent plasma collection in blood centers. For blood donors with positive IgM antibodies, it is recommended to follow up the NAT results to minimize the risk of transmission.

Objective:In Shanghai Advanced Proton Therapy Facility (SAPT) of Ruijin Hospital Proton Therapy Center, the calculation accuracy of the commercial proton treatment planning system RayStation (V10), especially the accuracy of the proton range calculation, was measured and verified, aiming to provide reference for the clinical application of the treatment planning system.Methods:A head phantom was used to verify the calculation accuracy of RayStation. The phantom CT was imported into treatment planning system (TPS). The phantom was followed closely by a water tank with a one-liter cubic target. A single field verification plan with the prescribed dose of 200 cGy (relative biological effectiveness) was designed and implemented. Then, the measured distribution results were compared with the calculation results.Results:When the verification plan of the phantom was designed with the default settings of RayStation, the measured longitudinal dose distribution was approximately 4 mm deeper than that of TPS, indicating that RayStation overestimated the water equivalent thickness (WET) of the tissue substitute materials in the phantom. To study the range error, the actual beam was used to measure the WET of the soft tissue substitute material. The default setting of RayStation was fine-tuned according to the measured results. It was found that the error between the measured SOBP and TPS calculations was reduced to only 2 mm.Conclusions:Using the default setting of RayStation to calculate the stopping power of the phantom may cause a large range error. A method that combines tissue segmentation with the measured WET of the tissue substitute material is proposed to improve the range calculation accuracy of the TPS. The results show that the proposed method can improve the dose and range accuracy of the commercial TPS including RayStation for tissue substitute materials.
