Objective:Human metapneumovirus (hMPV),initially described in 2001,is an enveloped RNA virus of the genus Metapneumovirus,subfamily Pneumovirinae,family Paramyxoviridae. Here we sought to clarify basic features of human metapneumovirus proteins. Methods:Rabbits were immunized with inactivated virons of hMPV Chinese first isolate,CHN05-01,to yield anti-hMPV antiserum. Antiserum was used as primary antibody to detect hMPV proteins by Western blotting. NetNglyc1.0 server,NetOglyc 3.1server and the NetPhos 2.0 server were applied for predicting potential glycosylation and phosphorylation sites of proteins of prototype virus of type A,CAN97-83. Results:The highest reactive titer of the antiserum with hMPV antigens reached 1:500 in ELISA. Potential glycosylation sites of G protein and phosphorylation sites of P protein were greatest among all hMPV proteins. G protein was shown a narrow band with molecular weight between 55 and 72kDa (approximately 68kDa),indicating its glycosylation level being consistent and remarkably different from that of CAN99-80 and CAN99-81. F1 subunit of fusion protein displayed molecular weight between 40 and 55kDa (approximately 48 kDa),which is consistent with previous reports. Conclusion:Basic features of two major membrane proteins of Chinese human metapneumovirus isolate were clarified,which will benefit future studies on protein funtion and pathogenesis of this virus.

Objective To investigate the CT and MRI manifestations and clinical features of liver fluke granuloma.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical and imaging data of 5 patients with pathologically confirmed liver fluke granuloma who were hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2010 to September 2015.Results Liver fluke granuloma had slightly low density on CT plain scan,as well as a slightly low signal on T1 weighted images and a slightly higher signal on T2 weighted images of MRI plain scan.Three-phase contrast-enhanced CT scan showed delayed enhancement with mild dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct,and normal vessels ran through the lesion.Conclusion Liver fluke granuloma is a rare disease in chnical practice.A history of eating raw fish,delayed enhancement on three-phase contrast-enhanced CT scan,and normal vessels running through the lesion all contribute to the diagnosis of liver fluke granulomas.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and treatment of nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). Methods Seven patients were confirmed as NLPHL by pathologic immunohistochemistry. Six patients received combined-modality therapy of chemotherapy and involved field, and the other one received single chemotherapy. Results The 3-year local control rate and overall survival rate were 100 % and 86 %, respectively. Only one case died of pulmonary infection following chemotherapy. Conclusion These patients with NLPHL has favorable prognosis, tolerance and less toxicity for combined-modality therapy. However the management of toxicity following treatment should be noted.

Feature extraction is a very crucial step in P300-based brain-computer interface (BCI) and independent component analysis (ICA) is a suitable P300 feature extraction method. But at present the convergence performance of the general ICA iteration methods are not very satisfactory. In this paper, a method based on quantum particle swarm optimizer (QPSO) algorithm and ICA technique is put forward for P300 extraction. In this method, quantum computing is used to impel ICA iteration to globally converge faster. It achieved the purpose of extracting P300 rapidly and efficiently. The method was tested on two public datasets of BCI Competition II and III, and a simple linear classifier was employed to classify the extracted P300 features. The recognition accuracy reached 94.4% with 15 times averaged. The results showed that the proposed method could extract P300 rapidly and the extraction effect did not reduce. It provides an experimental basis for further study of real-time BCI system.

ObjectiveTo compare the sensitivity among three diagnostic criteria for multiple myeloma.MethodsA total of 220 patients with multiple myeloma were studied retrospectively to compare thesensitivity, aswellastheirclinicalmanifestations, cellmorphologyinbonemarrowand immunophenotype.Results (1) The sensitivity of domestic diagnostic criterion in 1975 was 79.1％ (174/220) and there were some drawbacks in type identify.The sensitivity of WHO diagnostic criterion in 2001 was 97.3％ (214/220) and the sensitivity of domestic diagnostic criteria in 2011 was 100％. (2) Immunoglobulin level in 12.7％ (28/220) patients was ＜ 30 g/L,plasma cells count in bone marrow in 13.6％ (30/220) was ＜ 10％ ; 2.7％ (6/220) patients had not met the standard in immunity globulin and bone marrow plasma cells count.(3) The immunophenotype was CD38 positive ( 100％ ),restricted light chain (kappa/lambda) and CD19 100％,CD138 (98.2％,216/220) negative.ConclusionsAmong the three diagnostic criteria,the highest was 2011 domestic diagnostic criteria.Comprehensive analysis include clinical manifestations,cell morphology,immunophenotype will contribute to the diagnosis for multiple myeloma.

Objective To investigate the effective regime for treating keloid to dispel clinical symtoms and reduce postoperative relapse. Methods Laser of carbon dioxide was applied to remove keloid, and then the wound was dressed with wet dressing of Danshen for 2～3 weeks. After the wound epithelized, the base and edge of the wound was injected with Danshen solution for 2～3 months, and the wound was dressed with silica gel per day for 6 months at the same time. The patients were followed up for 1～2 years. Results The curative rate, obviously effective rate and total effective rate were 60.47%, 27.91% and 88.37%, respevtively, in the twenty-four patients with forty-three pieces of keloid. Conclusion The combination therapy for keloid was simple, effective, without side effect and suitable for local keloid of smaller than 15cm 2 in area.

Programmed cell death(PCD)of human leukemic HL 60 cell and human poorly differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma cell BGS 180 induced by efoposid(VP 16) was preliminarily observed comparatively in the same experimental condition through rate of cell death, DNA agarose gels electrophoresis and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase(TdT) mediated biotin 11 dUTP nickend labeling(TUNEL).It was found that apoptosis is the main pattern of HL 60 cell death induced by low does VP 16 in a short time, and it can be suppressed when protein kinase C(PKC) is activated. The main pattern of BGS 180 cell death induced by VP 16 is necrosis, and PCK activation does not affect its necrosis rate. Extracellular Ca 2+ reduction do not affect BGS 180 and HL 60 cell death rate. The mechanism of VP 16 action on BGS 180 and HL 60 cell is different, apoptosis is not the main pattern of cell BGS 180 death induced by VP 16.

Objective To investigate the effect of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation NIPPV in treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with acute exacerbation of respiratory failure. Methods From April 2014 to January 2015, 80 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbation of respiratory failure in our hospital were enrolled in this study. The patients received anti-infectious, antispasmodic, expectorant, correct electrolyte imbalance and symptomatic and supportive cure. BiPAP Symchrony ventilator was applied in the patients in the treatment group, and low flow nasal catheter ventilation therapy was given to patients in the control group. The following parameters were observed and compared: (1)The clinical efficacy of two groups of patients; (2) RR, PaO2, PaCO2, pH changes of patients before and at 2, 24 hours after ventilation therapy. (3) Intubation and mechanical ventilation, mortality, average length of stay and complications that occur during treatment. Results After treatment, the total effective rate of patients in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of patients in the control group (P < 0.05). At the end of treatment, RR, PaO2, PaCO2, pH changes, aeration at 2 h, 24 h post ventilation of patients in the treatment group improved significantly (P<0.05). The intubation and mechanical ventilation rate, mean hospital stay of patients in the treatment group were significantly shorter than theose of patients in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion To patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and acute exacerbation of respiratory failure, NIPPV can improve clinical outcomes, improve the patient′s oxygen partial pressure and oxygen saturation, shorter hospital stays, inhibit the rates of mechanical ventilation.
