The specific fragment of Pneumococcal surface protein A(PspA)and Pneumococcal Surface Adhesin A(PsaA)gene was amplified by PCR from Streptococcus pneumonia 5 and Streptococcus pneumonia 19.The amplified fragnent of PspA and PsaA gene was ligated into pET-27b(+)vector and transformed into BL 21 E.coli for expression and obtain the expressive production of PspA and PsaA.Induced by IPTG,the expression level was as high as 75 % of the total disolube protein.The result showed that the recombinant plasmid could express a specific 75 kDa and 37 kDa fusion protein in E.coli BL 21,which showed the good immunogenicity and a broadly cross reactivity with the other serotypes.

Spermiogenesis is a complex process of differentiation and morphologic alteration, in which sperm acrosome formation is an important stage. Acrosome is an essential component of the sperm head, which develops in four distinct phases: Golgi, cap, acro- somal, and maturation, each supported by precise and orderly regulation of various genes. The regulatory genes which act on Golgi ap- paratus include GOPC, Hrb, SPATA16, PICK1, and CK2α', those involved in the cap phase are Fads2, syntaxin 2, Kdm3a, and UBR7, and participating in acrosomal and maturation phases are KIFC1, Rnf19a, and DPY19L2. The abnormalities of these genes may affect male fertility by influencing the connection of the nuclear dense lamina and acroplaxome with the nuclear membrane and then the fusion and transportation of vesicles. This review focuses on the genes involved in different phases of acrosome formation.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanisms of acute humoral rejection (AHR) after renal transplantation and the significance of early diagnosis and prevention.Methods The clinical data of 296 cases receiving renal transplantations from January 2006 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. After renal transplantation,the dynamic changes of panel reactive antibodies (PRA) and donor specific antibodies (DSA) in peripheral blood were monitored by using ELISA,and C4d deposition and molecular markers of infiltrating lymphocytes in biopsy tissue were observed by using immunohistochemistry.The AHR was diagnosed according to Banff 2005 criteria and clinical related indexes. Results Among 296 patients,25 were diagnosed as AHR after transplantation with the incidence being 8.4％ (25/296).The AHR incidence after transplantation in patients positive and negative for PRA before transplantation was 23.1 ％ (6/26) and 7.0％ (19/270) respectively (P＜0.01).The DSA positive rate in the recipients with AHR and without AHR after transplantation was 80.0％ (20/25) and 6.7％ (4/60) respectively.Thcrc was significant difference in DSA and C4d positive rate between AHR and non-AHR patients (P＜0.001).By adjusting several therapies, such as the immunosuppressive program and (or) application of intravenous immunoglobulin,plasmapheresis,antithymocyte globulin and rituximab monoclonal antibody, 19 cases of AHR were reversed,and the remaining 6 cases had rupture of renal allograft due to ineffective treatment,leading to the removal of the transplanted kidney.Conclusion PRA and DSA were important for AHR after renal transplantation.Immediately monitoring of the PRA and DSA after transplantation is recommended in order to achieve the purposes of prevention,early diagnosis and rational treatment for AHR,thus improving the survival of the transplanted kidney.

OBJECTIVETo study the mechanism and applicability of Bite-bumper combined with fixed appliance in treatment of lingual tipping deep bite.

METHODS14 children aged 12-16 years old with lingual tipping deep bite participated in the experiment. Bite-bumper combined with fixed appliance was used to correct the deep bite. Clinic effect was observed. Lateral cephalograms were taken before treatment and after bite opening. The related hard tissues were estimated through the cephalograms.

RESULTS1) The average duration for bite-opening with Bite-bumper and fixed appliance of 14 patients was 28 days. 2) After bite-opening, the changes in length direction of jaw (SNA, SNB, ANB) had no statistical variances. Anterior and posterior facial height (S-Go, ANS-Me) were increased. No significant changes were observed in the ratio of posterior facial height to anterior facial height (S-Go/N-Me), angle of mandibular plane (SN-MP) and Y axis. Labial incline in upper and lower incisors (U1-SN, L1-MP) and interincisa angle (U1-L1) were decreased. The posterior teeth (U6-PP, L6-MP) were extruded and the upper incisors (U1-PP) were intruded. The overbite was decreased.

CONCLUSIONBite-bumper combined with fixed appliance can be used effectively for deep bite correction and improve the short face of patients with lingual tripping deep overbite.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatible stability of Xiao'aiping injection combined with 3 kinds of common in-jections. METHODS:Referring to package inserts,Xiao'aiping injection 40 mL was compatible with 5% Glucose injection,10%Glucose injection or 0.9% Sodium chloride injection 160 mL,respectively. At room temperature(about 25 ℃)and high tempera-ture(40 ℃),the appearance of mixtures were observed at 0,1,2,4,8,12,24,48 h;pH value and the number of insoluble particles were detected. The contents of tenacissoside A and tenacissoside Ⅰ in mixtures were determined by HPLC. RESULTS:Un-der above condition,the mixtures were brownish yellow liquid within 48 h after Xiao'aiping injection was compatible with 5%Glucose injection or 10% Glucose injection;24 h after mixed with 0.9% Sodium chloride injection,the mixture changed from brownish yellow to reddish brown,but no precipitation was found. The pH value of mixtures had no significant change(RSD<1%,n=8). The number of particles ≥25 μm was in line with the requirements of Chinese Pharmacopeia(2015 edition). For-ty-eight hours after mixing,the number of particles ≥10 μm in the mixtures exceeded the pharmacopoeia limits. Within 48 h after mixing,the relative contents of tenacissoside A and tenacissoside I in mixtures had no significant change(RSD<2%,n=8). CON-CLUSIONS:The mixture should be used up within 24 h after Xiao'aiping injection combined with 5% Glucose injection,10%Glucose injection or 0.9% Sodium chloride injection.

Background Fungal keratitis is a common ocular surface disease and the treatment is dissatisfactory because of short of high efficiency,low toxicity and broad-spectrum medication.Penetrating keratoplasty is an effective therapy,but its clinical applications is limited due to lack of corneal donor.To seek a low-cost and effective management is of an important significance.Objective This clinical trial was to compare the clinical effectiveness between corneal ulcer debridement combined with amniotic membrane cover+drugs therapy and corneal ulcer debridement of combined drugs therapy for fungal keratitis.Methods A prospective cases-controlled study was designed.A total 210 eyes of 210 patients with fungal keratitis were included from January 2001 to January 2013 in Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University.The patients were randomly divided into observation group (109 eyes) and control group (101 eyes).The combination therapy of corneal ulcer debridement with amniotic membrane cover and drugs was administered in the observational group,and only lesion debridement and drugs therapy was performed on the control group.The curative effect,postoperative visual acuity and therapeutic course were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rates for fungal keratitis were 100.00％,90.41％,77.78％ in the mild,moderate and severe patients,respectively,and those of the control group were 52.38％,80.00％,25.00％ respectively,showing significant differences between them (U =2.211,2.214,2.356,all at P＜0.05).The total effective rate was significantly higher in the observational group than that in the control group (91.09％ versus 75.23％),with a significant difference between them (U=3.040,P=0.002).Postoperative visual acuity was better in the observational group than that in the control group (0.44 ± 0.04 versus 0.22 ± 0.03),with a significant difference between them (t =2.225,P ＜ 0.05).The mean therapeutic course was (22.4 ± 1.8) days in the observational group,which is shorter than (33.2±2.4) days in the control group,with a significant difference between them (t =2.097,P＜0.05).Conclusions Combination therapy of lesion debridement with amniotic membrane coverage and drugs can shorten treating duration and improve vision,and it is superior to only lesion debridement and drugs therapy.

Abstract?AlM:To discuss the feasibility of using the visual quality analyzer KR - 1W to guide the relatively personalized aspheric intraocular lens ( lOL ) implants to make the whole eye spherical aberration close to 0. 1μm.?METHODS: ln this prospective case series study, the corneal spherical aberration with 6mm aperture of 73 patients (100 eyes) was measured with KR-1W Visual Function Analyzer 1d before surgery. For the sake of the whole postoperative spherical aberration were close to 0. 1μm, 9 cases ( 16 eyes ) with corneal spherical aberration <0. 15μm were implanted Sofport Advanced Optic lOL, named AO group;45 cases ( 57 eyes ) with corneal spherical aberration 0. 25~0. 3μm were implanted AcrySof lQ lOL, named lQ group;19 cases (27 eyes) with corneal spherical aberration > 0. 35μm were implanted Tecnis ZA9003 lOL, named Tecnis group. Aspherical lOL was implanted after phacoemulsification through a cornea 2. 75mm incision without suture. Uncorrected visual acuity, beat corrected visual acuity, spherical aberration of the whole eye and jnternal optics (mainly lOL) at 6mm pupil diameter were examined at 3mo postoperatively. The relevant data were analyzed using t-test and variance analysis.?RESULTS: The whole ocular spherical aberration at 6mm pupil diameter in all postoperative were 0. 084 ± 0. 032μm;in Tecnis group, the data were 0. 091 ± 0. 021μm;in AO group, the data were 0. 0814-0. 013μm;lQ group were0. 093 ± 0. 042μm. There was no significantly different between the predicted value and actual value of ocular spherical aberration at 6 mm pupil diameter in all postoperative ( t = 1. 932, P = 0. 061 ) and in the three groups. The difference value in the predicted values of the preoperative spherical aberrations of the whole eye and the actual values after surgery was 0. 013±0. 041μm; there was no statistically significant difference ( F=2. 537, P=0. 091 ) . Respectively compared the uncorrected visual acuity and besta corrected visual acuity among three groups of postoperative, no significant difference were found (F=0. 897, P=0. 421;F=1. 423, P=0. 097).?CONCLUSlON: Personality selection of aspheric lOL based on preoperative corneal spherical aberration of patients is feasible and produces satisfactory target postoperative total spherical aberration.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum homocysteine (HCY) and chronic heart failure (CHF) hypercoagulable state in patients.Methods A total of 105 cases of patients with CHF was divided into three groups according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification standard functions:heart functional grade Ⅱ group (42cases),cardiac function grade Ⅲ group (35 cases) and,NYHA class Ⅳ group (28cases).At the same time,40 healthy individuals were regard as the control group.HCY,fibrinogen (Fbg),D-dimer (DDI),HCY,N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were detected by fasting venous blood samples which were collected within 24 hours after admission.Results Compared to the control group,the expression of Fbg,DDI,HCY and NT-proBNP increased,whereas,antithrombin Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ) was reduced.Fbg,DDI,HCY,NT-proBNP,and AT-Ⅲ were found in all patient cases.Four groups were compared with each other,except for cardiac function Ⅱ group and the normal group had no significant difference between them (P ＞ 0.05),the difference between both other groups was significantly different (P ＜ 0.05),HCY had a positive correlation with Fbg,DDI,and NT-proBNP (r =0.268,0.295,and 0.404,P ＜ 0.05),and negative correlation with AT-Ⅲ (r =-0.240,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HCY might be a reliable indicator as a judge of CHF patients with hypercoagulable state,to detect HCY,FBG,DDI,and AT-Ⅲ in CHF patients.It benefits for judging thrombosis risk and determining the severity of the diseases.Anticoagulant therapy might be beneficial to reduce the long-term adverse events.
