Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2011;17(12):1139-1141
In recent years, more and more biological materials are used in bone defect repair. The ideal materials should not only have good biocompatibility, but also have the right space structure, surface morphology and the physical and chemical properties, to adapt the growth of osteoblasts. Calcium phosphate cement was used more widely among biological materials in bone defect repair with its good biocompatibility, degradability, osteoconductivity, injection, plasticity and other advantages. This paper introduced the experimental research and progress of the calcium phosphate cement application in bone defect repair.

Rhoptry proteins are the major virulence factors of Toxoplasma gondii. They locate in different parts of the host cells and can affect the membrane cytoskeleton structure and active factors of the host cells so as to block the cell intrinsic de-fense mechanisms of the host and let T. gondii invade parasitize and proliferate in the host successfully. The function and ac-tion mode of rhoptry proteins reflect the pathogenic mechanism of T. gondii which holds great significance to looking for toxo-plasmosis drug targets and developing molecule vaccines. This paper reviews the research progess of the interaction between rhoptry proteins of T. gondii and host cells.

Objective To observe the therapeutic efficacy of acupuncture at the interiorly-exteriorly related meridians plus rehabilitation training in treating post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome. Methods Sixty eligible patients with post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at the interiorly-exteriorly related meridians plus rehabilitation training, while the control group was by rehabilitation training alone. After 2 treatment courses, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), visual analogue scale (VAS) and edema score were observed and compared. Results The FMA, VAS, and edema scores were significantly changed in both groups after intervention (P<0.01). There were significant differences in comparing the FMA, VAS, and edema scores between the two groups after intervention (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 83.3%in the treatment group versus 76.7%in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture at the interiorly-exteriorly related meridians plus rehabilitation is an effective method in treating post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome.

Objective To develop a rapid molecular biological method for detection of the asymptomatic infection of Leish?mania. Methods Two pairs of primers named RV1?RV2 and K13A?K13B were selected to be the fast diagnosis primers since they were designed according to the conserved region of Leishmania kinetoplast DNA(kDNA)minicircles. The PCR amplifica?tion products of Leishmania donovani promastigote from Shandong Province were sequenced to compare their conservatism. The method was applied to detect 105 venous blood samples from healthy home canine and 7 venous blood samples from home canine suffered from Kala?azar in Heishui County of Sichuan Province,and 75 venous blood samples from susceptible population(no leishmaniasis symptoms)and 7 venous blood samples from patients in Xinjiang Kashi area in order to verify the feasibility and accuracy of the method. Results The size of PCR products was consistent with the expected fragments with high conservative among Leishmania species. The positive rates of 105 home canine samples and 75 susceptible population samples were 37.14%(39/105)and 82.67%(62/75)rspectively,and the positive rates of home canine suffered from Kala?azar and patients were all 100%(7/7). Conclusion This rapid diagnosis method is suitable for detection of asymptomatic infection of Leishmania in Kala?azar endemic areas of China with high sensitive and specific,thus it has bright perspective to be used.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical value of prenatal ultrasonography combined with maternal serology screening for chromosomal abnormality in 15 to 20+6 gestational weeks.MethodsSix hundred and twenty-eight pregnant women (628 fetuses) in 15 to 20+6 gestational weeks were selected to undergo prenatal ultrasonography, who were in critical risk of trisomy 21 or trisomy 18 by maternal serology screening. Transabdominal ultrasonography were performed and fetal nasal bone and nuchal fold were detected. Those who had nasal bone hypoplasia, thickened nuchal fold (NF>6 mm) and other abnormal fetal soft markers underwent amniocentesis for karyotyping analysis. ResultsThere were 6 cases of nasal bone hypoplasia (0.96%, 6/628), including one case of thickened nuchal fold, two cases of echogenic bowel, two cases of choroid plexus cysts and 1 case of echogenic cardiac focus. All these 6 cases underwent amniocentesis and 2 were trisomy 21 (33.3%, 2/6). The other 4 cases had no significant chromosomal abnormality.ConclusionsPrenatal ultrasonography may improve the detection rate of chromosomal abnormality for those pregnant women who are in critical risk of chromosomal abnormality prompted by serology screening. But invasive procedures are still needed to verify the chromosomal abnormality.

Objective To subclone express and identify the immune mapped protein 1 IMP1 which encodes a surface an?tigen of Toxoplasma gondii. Methods The cDNA of T. gondii RH strain was synthesized by reverse transcription PCR the IMP1 open reading frame ORF was amplified by PCR using the T. gondii RH strain cDNA as template the PCR products were identified by TA?cloning and sequencing then the IMP1 ORF was subcloned into the NdeⅠand Xho I sites of the vector pET28b and the positive recombinant pET28b?IMP1 was identified by double?digesting and sequencing. The protein of 6 × His tagged IMP1 was inducibly expressed in E. coli strain BL21 DE3 with isopropylβ?D?1?thiogalactopyranoside IPTG and the induction time concentration of IPTG and temperature gradients to optimize protein expression conditions were determined. After the cells carried IMP1 were induced by the optimized conditions and harvested the resulting bacteria were suspended in resuspension buffer and lysed by sonication and the supernatants were loaded onto the Ni2+Chelating Sepharose Fast Flow col?umn for affinity chromatography of the N?terminal 6 × His tagged IMP1 protein. Finally the fusion IMP1 proteins were identified by Western blotting. Results The ORF sequence of IMP1 was successfully subcloned from the cDNA of Toxoplasma Gondii RH strain and the amplified product was sequenced and identified based on which the IMP1 ORF gene was inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28b and the recombinant pET28b?IMP1 was constructed successfully. The double?digesting and sequencing results indicated the validity of the recombinant vector. And the optimized conditions for the expression of IMP 1 was determined namely 0.3 mmol/L IPTG induction for 9 h at 20℃. Furthermore IMP1 protein was expressed solubly and che?lated on Ni2+sepharose beads with high affinity thus this protein could be purified efficiently by affinity chromatography. The pure fusion protein was confirmed with fine immunocompetence by SDS?PAGE and Western blotting. Conclusions IMP1 pro? tein can be high efficiently expressed by the E. coli prokaryotic expression systems the protein of IMP1 is soluble and has stable characters. The study may lay a useful foundation for the following works including in vivo expression of IMP1 crystal structure study of IMP1 and anti?toxoplasmosis subunit vaccine development.

Objective To establish the primary cat intestinal epithelial cells(IECs)culture methods and construct the cD-NA library for the following yeast two-hybrid experiment,so as to screen the virulence interaction factors among the final host. Methods The primary cat IECs were cultured by the tissue cultivation and combined digestion with collagenase XI and dispase I separately. Then the cat IECs cultured was identified with the morphological observation and cyto-keratin detection ,by using goat anti-cyto-keratin monoclonal antibodies. The mRNA of cat IECs was isolated and used as the template to synthesize the first strand cDNA by SMARTTM technology,and then the double-strand cDNAs were acquired by LD-PCR,which were subsequently cloned into the plasmid PGADT7-Rec to construct yeast two-hybrid cDNA library in the yeast strain Y187 by homologous recom-bination. Matchmaker?Insert Check PCR was used to detect the size distribution of cDNA fragments after the capacity calcula-tion of the cDNA library. Results The comparison of the two cultivation methods indicated that the combined digestion of colla-genase XI and dispase I was more effective than the tissue cultivation. The cat IECs system of continuous culture was established and the cat IECs with high purity were harvested for constructing the yeast two-hybrid cDNA library. The library contained 1.1× 106 independent clones. The titer was 2.8 × 109 cfu/ml. The size of inserted fragments was among 0.5-2.0 kb. Conclusion The yeast two-hybrid cDNA library of cat IECs meets the requirements of further screen research,and this study lays the foundation of screening the Toxoplasma gondii virulence interaction factors among the cDNA libraries of its final hosts.

Objectives To summarize the clinical characteristics of imported falciparum malaria patients and the treatment so as to provide the evidences for improving the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. Methods A total of 138 imported falci?parum malaria patients who received the treatment in Shandong Institute of Parasitic Diseases from January 2007 to February 2013 were adopted as the observation subjects and their clinical data were collected and analyzed. Results All the 138 pa?tients were back from African countries. The main manifestations were fever headache asthenia and hepatosplenomegaly and most of them were with decreased RBC PLT levels and increased LDH levels and 36.96%of them were misdiagnosed as respiratory diseases nephritis hepatitis and so on. Through antimalarial treatment of artemether or artesunate or dihydroartemis?inin and primaquine or dihydroartemisinin and piperaquine and symptomatic treatment the short?term and long?term cure rates were 98.55%and 94.93%respectively with 1 case unrecovered and 1 died. Conclusions Artemisinins are still the most effective antimalarial drugs for falciparum malaria. However some patients recrudesce as the Plasmodium in their body is resis?tant or insensitive to these drugs. We should pay more attention to the antimalarial and symptomatic treatments in the early stage of severe malaria so as to improve the cure rate.
