Objective: To separate the nematocyst venom (NV) and tentacle-only extract (TOE) from the jellyfish Cyanea capillata and to analyze the difference between their haemolytic activities and the influencing factors. Methods: NV and TOE were separated by autolysis and centrifugation. The influence of concentration, temperature and pH value on the haemolytic activities of NV and TOE were observed. Results: NV and TOE were successfully separated. The concentration-associated haemolytic curves were "S" shaped for both NV and TOE. The HU50 of NV and TOE were 8 μg/ml and 67 μg/ml, respectively; and the haemolysis of NV was about 8.4 times of that of TOE. Temperature had great influence on haemolysis of both and the highest haemolysis were both at 40°C. pH value also had influence on haemolysis. The strongest haemolysis activity was found both at pH 8 and TOE was more sensitive. Conclusion: NV and TOE both have haemolysis activity, with the activity of NV stronger than that of the latter. The haemolysis activity is influenced by concentration, temperature and pH value.

AIM To study the therapeutic effect of bone marrow transplantation on mustard gas-poisoned mice. METHODS Mustard-poisoned mice model was constructed by injected mustard gas 20 mg·kg~(-1) subcutaneously. At 4 h, 1 d and 2 d after poisoned by mustard gas, the suspended bone marrow cells (106 cells per time) were injected into mice respectively. After poisoned 3, 5, 7 and 10 d, the numbers of leukocyte and marrow nucleated cells were recorded periodically. At the same time, after poisoned 4 h and 1 d by mustard gas, mice in another group were injected granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) 74 μg·kg~(-1) combined with transplantation and changes of the cell number were observed. RESULTS Compared with poisoned group without transplantion, leukocyte number in bone marrow transplanted group presented ascending trend, but there was no statistical significance until the 10 d after poisoned. However, the number of marrow nucleated cell increased significantly from the 5th day. After mice injected bone marrow cells combined with G-CSF, leukocyte increased markedly in earlier stage compared with transplantation only. CONCLUTION The bone marrow transplantation has significant effects on improvement of marrow hematogenic system inhibited by mustard gas.

Objectives To investigate the expression of 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanine(8-oxodG)in white blood cell,plasma and urine of rhesus monkey of different age group.Methods 30 female rhesus macaques at different age(1y,5y,10y,15y,20y,25y)were selected and grouped(n=5,each).10 mL of morning urine and 5 mL of fasting venous blood were collected.The level of 8-oxodG expression in plasma,leukocyte and urine was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS) method.Results The level of 8-oxodG in leukocytes,plasma and urine was increased along with aging.The level of 8-oxodG was 1.8,1.6 and 1.4 times higher in 25 year group than in 1 year group in plasma,white blood cell and urine,respectively(P＜0.05).The 8-oxodG level was more than 40 times higher in urine than in plasma.Conclusions The expression level of 8-oxodG is increased along with aging.It may be one of the experimental evidence of the aging markers.

BACKGROUND:As the sequencing technology has been widely used and high-resolution confirmation of organ transplant matching has been gradualy developed, new human leukocyte antigen (HLA) aleles are emerging. However, the gene frequency of some genes cannot be calculated accurately, and there are rare reports. These genes are often ignored, and it is easy to misjudge their genotypes only according to gene frequency. OBJECTIVE:To test and analyze a rare alele, HLA-C*08:99, from a volunteer donor of hematopoietic stem cel transplantation. METHODS: Genomic DNA was extracted automaticaly from the blood sample by using quick DNA purified kit and amplified by HLA-C locus commercial sequence-based typing kit. The purified PCR product was utilized as the DNA template in the sequencing reaction, and six direct sequencing reactions of PCR product covering exons 2, 3 and 4 in both directions were performed using commercial kit. Four direct sequencing reactions of PCR product covering exon 5 in both directions, exon 6 in forward direction and exon 7 in reverse direction were performed using in-house BigDye terminator cycle sequencing reaction kit. Sequencing reaction products purified by ethanol/sodium acetate/ ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid method were sequenced by ABI PrismTM3730 DNA Sequencer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The alele assignment was analyzed with Assign-SBT 3.6+ software, and the sample HLA-C typing result was C*07:04, 08:99. Increasing the sequencing analysis at exons 5, 6 and 7 of HLA-C locus wil help to make clear the ambiguous SBT result and improve the accuracy of HLA-C typing when it is necessary, which shows important significance in clinical tissue matching.

Objective : To investigate the occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens among medical workers in a tertiary general hospital in Hangzhou City from 2010 to 2022, so as to provide the evidence for improving occupational protective measures among medical workers. Methods: The registration and follow-up data of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens among medical workers from 2010 to 2022 were collected from the blood-borne occupational exposure monitoring system in a tertiary general hospital in Hangzhou City. The population distribution, occurrence, protection and disposal of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens were analyzed using a descriptive epidemiological method. Results: A total of 1 230 cases were reported with occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens among medical workers in the study hospital from 2010 to 2022, with the highest incidence in 2021 (4.67%) and the lowest incidence in 2010 (0.99%). The incidence of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens appeared a tendency forwards a rise from 2010 to 2022 (P<0.05). Of all cases with occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens, there were 934 women (75.93%), 656 nurses (53.33%), and 514 cases with working experiences of one year and shorter (41.79%). Hand was the predominant site of occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens (92.03%) and ward was the predominant place of exposure (35.37%), while scalp needle was the predominant mode of exposure (32.68%), and removal of needle was the predominant procedure of exposure (32.36%). A total of 1 106 cases were tested for the blood-borne pathogens in the exposure sources, and 448 cases were tested positive for blood-borne pathogens, with a detection rate of 40.51%. Hepatitis B virus, treponema pallidum and human immunodeficiency virus were the three most common blood-borne pathogens, and there were 739 cases (60.08%) with personal protective equipment during exposure. Following the follow-up surveillance for more than 6 months post-exposure, no infections occurred. Conclusions Junior nurses and hand exposure were predominant among medical workers with occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens in the study hospital from 2010 to 2022, and hepatitis B virus was the predominant blood-borne pathogen. No post-exposure infections occurred.

OBJECTIVETo study which classification model was most suitable for establishing a multi-tumor markers lung cancer prediction model, through established logistic regression model, decision trees model and artificial neural network model.

METHODSRIA analysis, ELISA, spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and atomic absorption spectrometry were used to measure the serum CEA, CA125, gastrin, NSE, beta2-MG, Sil-6 receptors, sialic acid, nitric oxide, Cu, Zn, Ca and the pseudo-urine nucleoside of urine samples in lung cancer patients, benign lung disease patients and healthy controls. The lung cancer diagnosis models were established by logistic regression analysis, decision tree analysis and artificial neural network training.

RESULTSThe diagnosis sensitivities of the logistic regression analysis, decision tree analysis and artificial neural network model with 12 tumor markers in lung cancer were 94.00%, 100.00% and 100.00%; the specificity were 100.00%, 98.89% and 100.00%; the total accurate 94.29%, 95.00% and 90.00%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe results of three classification models with 12 tumor markers in diagnosis of lung cancer are ideal. Especially the C5.0 decision tree model and the artificial neural network model are more suitable for the prediction and diagnosis of the lung cancer.

OBJECTIVE: Complication incidence of urinary fistula which frequently occurs following renal transplantation is 3%-10%. Thus, poor processing may cause loss of transplanted kidney. This study was designed to retrospectively analyze urinary fistula following renal transplantation and to summarize the processing experience. METHODS: A total of 27 out of 1 203 patients with urinary fistula following renal transplantation (16 males and female 11 and mean age of 43 years) were collected from Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command of Chinese PLA from December 2000 to March 2009. Totally, 26 patients accepted donor kidney from corpse, and 1 from living body. All patients were treated with expectant treatment (n=17) including inserting 18Fr Foley catheter alone and draining from the native drainage channel of operative site (n=12) and inserting a ureteral stent (single-J) by cystoscope retrograde approach and inserting 18Fr Foley catheter into the bladder (n=5); exploring operation (n=10) including anastomosing ureter and bladder and placing ureteral stent (n=5) and anastomosing ureter and ureter of recipient and placing ureteral stent (n=5); pedicled omentum grafts to cover and surround stoma after suturing (n=6). RESULTS: Only 1 case was failed because kidney vain was injured in the second operation and the kidney was resected. Another 26 cases were cured. Within the 3 month to 7 years follow-up, the urinary fistulas did not relapse, no stegnosis or hydronephrosis, no urinary tract infection and renal function were normal. CONCLUSION: Rapid diagnosis and treatment for urinary fistulas after renal transplantation is imperative. First mostly patients may be cured by expectant treatment. If not then perform exploratory operation. Using peclicled omentum grafts to cover and surround stoma after suturing for complex urinary fistulas can raise achievement ratio of operation.

To evaluate the inhibiting effect of Homoharringtonine (HHT) on the corneal haze after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in rabbits. 18 healthy rabbits which underwent PRK were randomly divided into three groups (A, B and C). The refractive degree of ablation was - 10.0DS in each group. Group A was locally treated with a piece of filter paper soaked with 1 mg/mL HHT for 5 min, and then the entire cornea was repeatedly irrigated with balance solution; Group B was dropped with 0.1 mg/mL HHT after PRK for 3 months; Group C was the control group. Corneal haze, histopathology, response, ect. were investigated. The corneal haze was significantly less in group A, while the difference between group B and group C was insignificant. Keratocytes and fibrocytes in corneal stroma were more active up to 3 months in group B and group C. Intraoperative use of topical HHT can reduce corneal haze after PRK in rabbits.
