To verify the role of introvascular ultrasound(IVUS) in diagnosis of atherosclerosis. MethodsINUS wasused to measure the position, quality and the thickness of the plaque in the elastic artery and biopsy materials. After using HE andHart stains, a micrometer was used to measuse the thickness of plaques and arterious walls. And electron microscopy was used to ob serve the pathological changs of the plaque. ResultsBy histological observation compared with IVUS, the conformable rate of plaque anmounted to 94%. The plaque could be seen in 12 sites of control group. Among 33 sites, 32 plaques were found pathologic exmination while IVUS showed 30 plaques in the experimental group. The two methods had a gcod correlation on the thick measurement of plaque and the media( r = 0.835, P<0.05 and r = 0.814, P< 0.05). But they had a poor correlation on the measurement of the intirna( r = 0.055). ConclusionsBy pathological examination and the quantitative analysis, IVUS can obtain the common purpose in diagnosing atherosclerosis and measuring the media thickness. But it can not be used in measurement of the intima.

Objective To produce an erythrocytic stage chimeric protein of Plasmodium berghei in Pichia pastoris and evaluate its immunogenicity. Methods The DNA sequences of AMA1 (Ⅲ) and MSP1-19 from P. berghei homologous to the corresponding sequences of P. falciparum chimeric antigen 2.9 (PfCP-2.9) were fused to generate a chimeric gene, designated as PbCP-2.9. The resulting gene was redesigned using Pichia preferential coden usage and expressed in P. pastoris in the secreted form. The recombinant protein was purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Three groups each with 10 BALB/c mice were im- munized subcutaneously with 20 ?g of purified PbCP-2.9 antigen formulated in Freund’s adjuvant, Montanide ISA720 and Montanide IMS 1 312, respectively. Three control groups each with 10 mice received only adjuvants emulsified with PBS. All the mice received three immunizations at 2-week intervals with the same dose of antigen. Serum samples were collected at preimmunization and one week after each immunization, and were analyzed for specific antibodies by ELISA and reaction with natural P. berghei proteins by IFAT. Results The PbCP-2.9 antigen with Mr 26 400 was successfully expressed in P. pastoris in secret- ed form. The recombinant protein can be recognized by the serum against blood stage parasites of P. berghei. High antibody responses were detected in all three PbCP-2.9-immune groups of mice by ELISA. However, mice immunized with PbCP-2.9 antigen in Freund’s adjuvant produced higher antibody titers than those with PbCP-2.9 antigen in Montanide ISA 206 and Montanide IMS 1312 adjuvants. The mean antibody titer in Freund’s adjuvant was 6.9-fold higher than in Montanide ISA 206 adjuvant and 5.6-fold higher than in Montanide IMS 1312 adjuvant after the second immunization (F=81.06, P

ObjectiveTo study the clinical application value of screening cervical precancerous lesions of high risk human papillomavirus(HPV) testing combined with thin-prep cell test(TCT) in prevention of cervical intraepithelial neoplasma (CIN) and cervical carcinoma. MethodsSeven hundred and sixty-three women were screened by high risk HPV test, TCT and pathology test of biopsy more. The positive coincident rate with the pathology test positive rate during the three technologies was compared.ResultsHigh risk HPV positive was 287 cases, the rate of infection was 37.61%(287/763), and pathology test positive was 82 cases, the coincident rate of which was 28.57% ( 82/287 ) ; TCT positive was 78 cases, the rate of infection was 10.22% (78/763), and pathology test positive was 50 cases, the coincident rate of which was 64.10% (50/78) ; TCT + high risk HPV positive was 59 cases, pathology test positive was 47 cases, and the coincident rate of which was 79.66% (47/59). Among each coincident rate,the differences were statistically significant (P< 0.05). The positive rate of high risk HPV infection CIN I was 32.26%( 10/31 ),CIN Ⅱ 41.38% (12/29), CIN Ⅲ 93.55% (29/31), squamous carcinoma of the cervix 96.88% (31/32),respectively. ConclusionsThe positive rate of high risk HPV increases significantly with the grade of cervical precancerous lesions. It is of great significance to screen in the population for HPV and TCT in a regular time span,since it could not only decrease HPV infection rate and the incidence of cervical lesions,but also prevent the cervical cancer.

Oral feeding of water cannot be accomplished in some critical patients due to coma, mouth-breathing or long-term indwelling of gastric tube, causing dry mouth which results in oral pain, ulcer, or infection, aggravating patients' discomfort and even affecting the prognosis. To solve this problem, the medical staff of the First Hospital of Jiaxing developed a novel oral humidifier and obtained the National Utility Model Patent of China (ZL 2019 2 0066979.0). The oral humidifier consists of a spraying device and a fixation device. The spraying device is a spraying housing with a water tank, and a spraying port where nanometer water mist can be emitted. The spraying housing is also equipped with a flashlight with a switch, and a schematic diagram of pupil size, which can be used to assess the pupil size conveniently. The fixing device is composed of a fixing frame, an adjustable rod and a clamp. The two ends of the adjustable rod are connected to the fixing frame and the clamp respectively, and can be adjusted to proper shape. The spraying housing can be placed on the fixing frame and installed on the bed and adjusted to the proper position quickly. This novel oral humidifier is a simple device which combines a spraying system with a pupil evaluation tool, implying significant clinical application in improving the convenience of nursing and alleviating dry mouth of critical patients.
