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.

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 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.

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest cell surface receptor family, which mediates activities of almost all known cellular response to ligands, including hormones release, neurotransmitters and sensory input.GPCRs can promote development and progression of gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and breast cancer and other tumors.Tyrosine kinase receptors (RTKs) are another important family of membrane receptors, which can regulate cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and survival.Overexpression of RTKs has been found in many cancer cells.Therefore, GPCRs and RTKs are equally important in the clinical treatment of cancer therapeutic.However, GPCRs and RTKs are not independent, and they can use common signal transduction.The present study show that crosstalk between GPCRs and RTKs can facilitate migration of lung epithelial cells, increasing survival of nerve cells and promoting tumor occurrence and development.This article mainly focuses on crosstalk between GPCRs and RTKs and their roles in tumorigenesis and oncotherapy.

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 explore the feasibility of the application of non fasting blood lipid in the hospitalized population.Methods Self-control study was used.608 patients(aged 20~86 years old) were enrolled from April 2015 to October 2016 in lipid center of FuWai hospital.Fasting sample and non-fasting sample(1~4 h after breakfast) were collected from every patient and lipid profile including TG (triglyceride), TC (total cholesterol), HDL-C (high density lipoprotein cholesterol) and LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) were measured in clinical laboratory.The results of two tests were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test.Results The differences between non-fasting and fasting lipid test were +0.47 mmol/l (+30%) for TG,-0.03 mmol/l (-2.8%) for HDL-C,-0.09 mmol/l (-3%) for LDL-C and-0.24 mmol/l (-8.7%) for calculated LDL-C (P<0.001 respectively).The differenceswere +0.01 mmol/l for TC and +0.02 mmol/l for non-HDL-C,therefore no statistical difference was observed.When the TG level was stratified,the level of non-fasting LDL-C using directing test method was not significantly different between TG> 4.5 mmol/L and the whole (0.07 vs.0.09),but the level of non-fasting LDL-C using formula method wassignificantly different between TG> 4.5 mmol/L and the whole (0.66 Vs.0.24),andthe drops were 34.9% vs.8.7%.Conclusion Non-fasting lipid test could be an effective routine method for lipid evaluation in the hospitalized population.

Objective To explore the influence of obstruction sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) on plasma cystatin C (CC) levels in patients with primary hypertension.Methods A total of 244 cases of primary hypertension patients was chosen.The patients were divided into observation group (with OSAS) and control group (without OSAS) according to apnea hypopnea index (AHI).The observation group was then divided into three subgroups:mild OSAS group,moderate OSAS group,and severe OSAS group.The levels of CC were compared.Results First,the plasma CC levels in patients with primary hypertension had no statistical significance in the differences among different grades of hypertension (P ＞ 0.05).Second,CC levels of observation group were significantly higher than control group (P ＜ 0.05).Third,CC levels of the severe group were higher than the moderate group,and the plasma CC levels of the moderate group were also higher than the mild group and control group.Rank correlation analysis and comparison of CC levels and AHI showed that CC levels were positively correlated with AHI (r =0.585,P ＜ 0.01).However,there were no statistically significant differences between CC levels of the mild OSAS group and control group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The patients with OSAS and primary hypertension had higher levels of CC,and aggravated with the progress of the degree of obstruction.CC may be involved in the progression of the disease,a high level of CC may aggravate the condition,it should be early prevention and treatment.
