Objective To express soluble single chain variable fragments (ScFv) of monoclonal antibody MC3 recognizing colorectal carcinomas in E. coli HB2151 and to purify the soluble ScFv and identify its antigen binding activities to find new target vectors for the diagnosis and therapy of colorectal carcinomas. Methods The phage clones displaying ScFv fragment of the monoclonal antibody MC3 were used to infect E. coli HB2151 to express soluble antibodies. The soluble ScFvs were identified by Dot blot and Western blot and their antigen binding activities were determined by ELISA. The VH and VL DNAs of the ScFv DNA derived were sequenced based on the dideoxy method. Results The soluble MC3 ScFvs were expressed successfully. The expression products with a proximate MW of 32?10 3 were mainly secreted into the periplasm. The soluble ScFv containing periplasmatic extracts derived from three clones could inhibit the binding of MC3 with its antigen, and the inhibition rates were 41.19%, 36.89% and 33.77% respectively. The sequences of the VH and VL DNAs of the MC3 ScFv showed that the variable antibody genes belonged to the IgG1 subgroup and ? type. Conclusion Generation of E. coli HB2151 expressed ScFv of monoclonal antibody MC3 paves the way for further use of the antibody.

Objective To explore the changing rule of schistosomiasis endemic situation in Gaoyou City,so as to provide the evidences for schistosomiasis control in lake and marshland regions. Methods The endemic data of schistosomiasis of Gaoy?ou City from 1970 to 2009 were collected to analyze the endemic patterns of schistosomiasis in different control stages compre?hensively. Results In the first years of infection control stage(1970-1975),transmission control stage(1976-1994)and transmission interruption stage(1995-2009),the prevalence rates of schistosomiasis were 4.20%,0.80%and 0 in human and 3.00%,0.51%and 0 in cattle respectively. In 1984,the positive rate of crowd stool tests fell to 0.04%,which was reduced by 99.05%compared with that in 1970. From 1970 to 1980,the positive rates of stool tests of people and livestock were positively correlated significantly(r=0.67,P<0.05). After 1985,no local infection patients or cattle were found. No schistosome infect?ed Oncomelania hupensis snails were found from 1970 to 2009. Conclusion The comprehensive control measures have been insisted in Gaoyou City in different prevention and control stages. Although the snail situation is undulate,the prevalence of schistosomiasis steadily declines and the interruption of transmission has achieved.

Objective To investigate immunological relationship between early induction of food allergy and occurrence of later asthma in mice, and explore the pathological changes in lung tissues. Methods Thirty-seven female BALB/c mice aged 6 weeks were randomly divided into blank control group ( n = 12), food allergy group ( n = 13) and asthma group (n = 12). After being challenged by ovalbumin (OVA), the levels of serum IgE, IL-4 and INF-γ in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ( BALF) were detected. The numbers of inflammatory cells and eosinophils ( EOS) in BALF were counted. Lung tissues were obtained for pathological sections, and thickness of bronchial wall and EOS infiltration were observed. Results The level of serum IgE and level of IL-4, ratio of IL-4/IFN-γ and number of EOS in BALF in food allergy group and asthma group were significantly higher than those in control group (P <0.05). The level of IL-4 and number of EOS in BALF in asthma group were significantly higher than those in food allergy group (P <0.05) , while there was no significant difference in serum IgE level between these two groups (P > 0.05), and levels of IFN-7 in BALF in both groups were significantly lower than that in blank control group (P<0.05). There were more EOS infiltration in lung tissues and thicker bronchial wall in food allergy group and asthma group than that in blank control group (P < 0.05), and the number of EOS in asthma group was significantly higher than that in food allergy group ( P < 0.05). Conclusion IgE-mediated immune response is involved in both food allergy and asthma mouse models. Lung immune imbalance of Thl/Th2 and inflammatory cell infiltration caused by food allergy may participate in the occurrence of later asthma.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and western medicine in treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)combined with respiratory failure,TCM syndromes of spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness by comparison between the integrated therapy and simple western therapy in treatment of the disease. Methods 160 patients with AECOPD combined with respiratory failure,spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome in the intensive care units(ICU)of Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of TCM and other four hospitals were randomly allocated into two groups in this double-blinded,multicenter,prospective,randomized,controlled trial. In the control group (78 cases),western medicine and placebo were given to the patients,and in the treatment group(82 cases), conventional western medicine plus fei-shuai mistura 25 mL were administered,four times per day,the therapeutic course lasting for 2 weeks in both groups. The all-cause mortality,respiratory failure-cause mortality,improvement of modified Medical Research Council(mMRC)Dyspnea Scale grades,6 minutes walk distance(6MWD),the forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)were observed in the 28 days after the end of treatment. Results In the comparisons between the control and treatment groups,there were no statistical significant differences in the all-cause mortality〔54.87%(45/82)vs. 64.10%(50/78)〕and the cases of FEV1/FVC(both P>0.05)in the 28 days after the end of treatment;the 28 day respiratory failure-cause mortality was significantly decreased〔19.51%(16/82)vs. 33.33%(26/78),P<0.05〕,the number of patients with mMRC Dyspnea Scale grades (1-2)was obviously increased(22 cases vs. 7 cases,P<0.05),and the number of patients with 6 MWD grades (4-6)was markedly enhanced in the treatment group(21 cases vs. 8 cases,P<0.05). Conclusions The integrated TCM and western medicine has better therapeutic results in improvement of the patients' degree of dyspnea, 6 MWD and respiratory failure mortality than simple treatment with western therapy for treatment of patients with AECOPD combined with respiratory failure, spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome. However,in regard to the effect on pulmonary function and all cause mortality,the integrated therapy for treatment of such patients in short term has no significant effect.
