Objective To analyze the immune efficacy and influencing factors of hepatitis B vaccine(HepB)in adults（≥40 years）in Tongzhou District,Beijing,so as to provide scientific basis for adult HepB immunization strategy.Methods Permanent residents aged 40 years and older in Tongzhou District with negative hepatitis B five indexes were randomly divided into three groups. The three groups were inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae HepB,Hansenula HepB,and Chinese hamster ovary(CHO)HepB according to the“0-1-6 months”schedule. Blood samples were collected before as well as the 1st and 6th month after full immunization for hepatitis B surface antibody(anti-HBs)detection. The χ~2test,non-parametric test,univariate and multivariate Logistic regression were used to analyze antibody seroconversion rate and influencing factors. Through passive monitoring,the suspected adverse events following immunization(AEFI)occurred within 28d after vaccination were collected.Results One month after the full immunization,the overall seroconversion rate of anti-HBs of the three vaccines was 90. 07%,and the geomtric mean concentration(GMC)was 206. 06 IU/L. After six months,the overall seroconversion rate of anti-HBs was 82. 88% and the GMC was 68. 17 IU/L,with the significant difference（χ~2=149. 42,P < 0. 001;Z =-11. 942,P < 0. 001）. Multivariate analysis showed that different vaccine types were the influencing factors of anti-HBs seroconversion rate after 1 and 6 months of full immunization(OR > 1,P < 0. 05),while gender was the influencing factor after 6 months of full immunization(OR > 1,P < 0. 05). In addition,No AEFI report was collected.Conclusion People over 40 years old could get good immune effect after inoculation of HepB for 1 and 6 months,and CHO HepB and Hansenula HepB groups were better than Saccharomyces cerevisiae HepB group. It is necessary to strengthen the propaganda and popularize the adult HepB vaccination so as to reduce the incidence of adult hepatitis B.

Objective To study the relationship of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R) autoantibody (AT1-AA) and renal cell apoptosis induced by caspase-12 in diabetic nephropathy (DN)rats.Methods High-sucrose and high-fat diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg) were utilized to establish DN rat model.Serum AT1-AA was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and renal cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining.Furthermore,the mRNA levels of the endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) chaperone protein glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and ERS-associated apoptosis protein caspase-12 were measured by real-time quantitative PCR.Additionally,the levels of GRP78 and caspase-12 protein were measured by Western blotting.Results The renal cell apoptosis rate in DN group was increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01),and the renal cells apoptosis rate in AT1-AA positive DN group was higher than that in AT1-AA negative DN group [(20.05±1.71)％ vs (13.24±4.93)％,P ＜ 0.01].The mRNA expressions of GRP78 and caspase-12 in DN group,in comparison to NC group,were increased significantly (P ＜ 0.01),as well as the proteins (P ＜ 0.01).And the expression of these mRNA and proteins had significant increment in AT1-AA positive DN rats when compared with AT1-AA negative DN rats (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions AT1-AA can induce ERS in the renal tissue of DN rats,and promote renal cell apoptosis likely via the modulation of caspase-12 signaling pathway.

Objective To determine the sensitivity and specificity of ramification amplification method for detecting Shiga toxin and to determine the feasibility in detecting E. coli 0157: H7 and other shiga toxin-producing E. coli isolated from food and clinical specimens. Methods The sensitivity and specificity of RAM were compared with those of PCR by detecting synthetic Shiga toxin DNA target and isolates from food and clinical specimens. Results The lowest number of targets detected by RAM assay was 10 molecules. Several clinical isolates of E. coli 0157 :H7, Shigella dysenteriae and nonpathogenic E. coli were further tested. The results showed that E. coli 0157: H7 and Shigella dysenteriae were positive for shiga toxin gene,while nonpathogenic E. coli were negative. The results of RAM and PCR by detecting isolates were same. Conclusion RAM assay could be an alternative to PCR to detect STEC in food product and clinical specimens because of its high sensitivity and specificity , simplicity and isothermal amplification.

Objective To observe the effect of Exendin-4 on the apoptosis of cardiomyocyte induced by H2O2,and approach the relationship between GLP-1 signal pathway and the injury of cardiomyocyte.Methods Cardiomyocytes were isolated and cultured,and were divided into 5 groups.Intercelluar ROS (reactive oxygen species) was measured,and cell apoptosis rate was evaluated by Flow cytometry in different groups.Also expressions of apoptosis-associated proteins (caspase-3) and PI3 K/AKT were evaluated by western blot.Results Compared with H2O2 group,Ex-4 co-incubation decreased the production of intercelluar ROS levels,also improved the cardiomyocyte apoptosis.At the same time,Ex-4 resulted in the alterations in expressions of the caspase-3 and p-AKT/AKT proteins.However,these effects of Exendin-4 were counteracted significantly by the co-incubation of LY294002.Conclusion The interventions of GLP-1 signal pathway can improve cardiomyocyte apoptosis induced by H2O2 incubation,and the mechanisms might partly attribute to the PI3K/AKT system.

Objective To investigate the role of AT1 receptor autoantibody (AT1-AA) in the inhibitory action of irbesartan on endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-related apoptotic signals in rat kidney with diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods DN model rats were induced by high-sugar and high-fat diet plus intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin,and the serum level of AT1-AA was detected by ELISA.These DN rats with positive or negative AT1-AA were divided into DN group and irbesartan treated group.After 4 weeks of irbesartan treatment,TUNEL staining was used to detect renal cell apoptosis.The protein and mRNA expressions of ERS chaperone protein glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) and ERS-associated apoptosis proteins were determined by Western blot and RT-PCR.Results Compared with NC group,the apoptosis rate of renal cells in DN group was obviously increased,along with the increased expressions of GRP78,C/EBP homology protein (CHOP),phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK),and Caspase12 protein and mRNA (all P＜0.01).The cell apoptosis and protein and mRNA levels of these genes were significantly decreased after irbesartan treatment (all P＜ 0.01),especially in AT1-AA positive DN rats(all P＜0.05).The renal cell apoptosis rate,and protein and mRNA levels of these four genes in AT1-AA positive DN group were much greater than those in AT1-AA negative DN group (all P＜0.05).Conclusions AT1-AA may be involved in ERS-related cell apoptosis in the kidney of DN rats,and play a role in irbesartan-improved renal function via inhibiting ERS-associated CHOP-JNK-Caspase12 apoptotic signals and renal cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of EGFR in inducing vasculogenic mimicry (VM)formation.Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of EGFR protein and CD34-PAS double staining was used to detect the VM in gliomas paraffin blocks.The migration and VM formation of U87 cell in hypoxic and normoxic groups were detected by transwell and three-dimensional culture.Then we used Western blot to detect the expressions of EGFR,AKT and PI3K protein.Results The positive rate of EGFR expression in VM positive patients was 94.4%,which was significantly higher than that in VM negative patients (71.8%).In hypoxic group,the abilities of migration and VM formation were significantly higher those in normoxic group.The expressions of EGFR,AKT and PI3K were higher in hypoxic group.Conclusion VM formation can be induced by the activation of EGFR/AKT/PI3K signaling pathway.EGFR is very important for VM formation.

Objective To evaluate the imaging features of phyllodes tumor of the breast.Methods 35 patients with phyllodes tumor of the breast confirmed by surgery and histopathology were collected.All clinical and imaging findings were analyzed.Results 35 cases with 36 lesions were classified as benign (1 9 lesions),borderline (8 lesions),and malignant (9 lesions).The typical ap-pearances on mammography were ellipse (1 6/36)or lobulated (20/36)mass.Most of them were high density (30/36)and clear boundary (28/36).No evidence of calcification,spiculated margin,skin thickening,nipple retraction and enlargement of axillary lymph nodes were detected.On MRI,1 lesion presented as lobulated mass with nonuniform hypointensity on T1 WI,hyperintensity on T2 WI and DWI.The time-intensity curve was Ⅱ type on dynamic contrast enhancement MRI.Conclusion The clinical and ima-ging features of phyllodes tumor are characteristic.These features are helpful to preoperatively diagnose,the final diagnosis would confirmed by histopathology.

Objective To develop a sensitive, specific, rapid and easy method for detecting E. coli O157 : H7 and other Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in food and clinical specimens. Methods A circular probe and capture probe specific for Shiga toxin-2 (stx2) gene had been synthesized and was used for determining the sensitivity of ramification amplification method (RAM). Different serotypes which contained stx2 gene, including an E. coli O157 : H7, an E. coli O46 : H38, an E. coli O111 : NM, an E. coli O22 : H8 and E. coli ATCC23716 (stx2 gene negative) were used for determining the specificity. All strains were detected by RAM to determine whether they contained stx2 gene. Real-time RAM was further studied to detect stx2 gene. Results The lowest number targets detected by RAM assay was 10 copies of stx2, indicating that RAM assay was as sensitive as conventional PCR. The result of specificity showed that different serotypes of strains were all positive for stx2 gene, while nonpathogenic E. coli ATCC23716 was negative. Among 32 isolates, 28 STEC isolates containing stx2 gene were positive by RAM assay, while others were negative. The RAM results were 100% in concordance with that of PCR. The real-time RAM results also showed that as many as 10 bacteria can be detected and the time of appearance of detectable signal was depended on the target concentration. Conclusion RAM assay can offer an alternative method for PCR to detect E. coli O157 : H7 and STEC in all types of specimens because of its simplicity and isothermal amplification.
