The plasmids of recombinant suicide vector containing the truncated stn gene and the deleted stn gene were constructed. The Salmonella stn-deficient mutant was prepared by homologous recombination between the mutant stn gene in the recombinant suicide vector and the wild-type gene in the chromosome of S. Typhimurium 2000. The detection of biological activity of stn gene production in those mutants indicated that Salmonella stn-deficient mutants evoked significantly less fluid secretion in mouse intestinal loops compared to that seen with wild-type Salmonella. Upon oral challenge of mice, the fifty percent lethal dose of the Salmonella stn-deficient mutants was greater than that for the wild-type bacteria. Those studies showed that the stn gene is very important factor in the pathogenesis of salmonellosis.

Objective　To explore the changes and significance of the circulating immunocomplexes(CIC) in patients with chronic iridocyclitis.Methods　We assessed circulating immunocomplexes in peripheral blood of 45 patients with recurrent uveitis and 42 healthy controls by PEG deposition with the biochemical analyzer to obtain levels of CIC different with recurrent uveitis.Results　Levels of CIC were significantly higher in active patients(27.358±6.729)than those in controls(13.459±6.164,P＜0.001) and inactive patients (16.248±6.233,P＜0.001),but patients (inactive) had significantly higher levels than those in controls (P＜0.05).Conclusion　Levels of CIC were found in the groups of active patients with recurrent uveitis (27.358±6.729), but levels of CIC in inactive patients fell. The result of this study suggest that recurrence of uveitis is related to immunocomplexes,and changes in the levels of CIC could be also a measure standard of therapeutic effects.

Background:Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic,non-specific,relapsing inflammatory bowel disorder. Prediction of prognosis and relapse is of great importance for disease control. Aims:To analyze the characteristics and related factors for relapse in IBD patients. Methods:Four hundred and seventy-nine hospitalized patients diagnosed as ulcerative colitis(UC,n = 301)or Crohn’s disease( CD,n = 178)from Jan. 2004 to Jun. 2014 were enrolled and divided into relapse group and non-relapse group. The clinical characteristics were collected and univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to identify the influencing factors for relapse. Results:The relapse rates for UC and CD were 52. 49% and 77. 53% ,respectively. In stepwise Logistic regression analysis,younger onset age( < 40 years old,OR =0. 825,95% CI:0. 777-0. 876,P = 0. 000),longer disease duration(OR = 1. 186,95% CI:1. 089-1. 291,P = 0. 000) and extensive colitis(OR = 16. 993,95% CI:2. 670-108. 170,P = 0. 003)were independent risk factors for relapse of UC,while younger onset age( < 40 years old,OR = 0. 944,95% CI:0. 915-0. 974,P = 0. 000)and poor medication adherence(OR = 31. 074,95% CI:10. 456-92. 343,P = 0. 000)were independent risk factors for relapse of CD. Conclusions:Patients at high risk for relapse of IBD can be identified by referring to the related risk factors. Early identification and intervention,persistence for maintenance therapy and improving medication adherence by health education may reduce the clinical relapse of IBD.

Restenosis is a major complication after percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention. Evaluation of restenosis early and accurately can help to giude treatment, improve outcome and save costs for the patients. All kinds of imaging methods for restenosis have their merits and demerits. It is essential to choose the appropriate imaging method in clinical practice.

H~3-thymidine was used in determining the neuronal mitosis of the traumati cerebral cortex in rats. Intraperitoneal injection of H~3-thymidine was given to the rats immediately after corticectomy of the parietal lobes. On the 4th day after operation, the cerebral tissue was removed, fixed in Carnoy, serial sectioned, and stained with cresyl violet.The results showed that in the surrounding area 100—200?m from the traumatic site, 2-5％ of the various types of cells in the cerebral tissue were labeled, i. e. silver granules were distributed within the nuclei. Macrophages, endothelial cells and pericytes of vessels make up most of the 2—5％, whereas neuroglia and neuron rank next. The nuclei of the majority of the labeled cells were in the interphase state and a few of them were in the mitotic state. The more the labeled cells are in the interphase state,, the more the mitosis occur. On the contrary, it is less. They are always in direct proportion. In the case of neurons the same situation occurs.By inference, the mitotic division of the neurons in the cerebral cortex may occur in situ. Possibly some kind of substance is produced after the trauma leads to the division of the mature neurons. The basis for this inference is that a certain number of the neurons in division have typical features of the pyramidal neurons.

Objective To investigate the stability and comparability of recombinant human muscle creatine kinase isozyme(CK-MM)in different matrix,and to find out a suitable matrix as a reference material for application of CK measurement system.Methods The stability of the recombinant CK-MM was observed by measuring its catalytic activity in self-made matrix,anti-freeze additive matrix,the certified reference material(CRM)matrix and human serum matrix respectively.For understanding the commutability among different measurement system total CK catalytic activity in various concentration of human serum and the catalytic activity of recombinant CK-MM in different matrix specimen were measured with IFCC recommended reference method and routine reagent produced by Roche and Zhongsheng Diagnostic Company respectively.Results The recombinant CK-MM was stable for 25 days in the self-made matrix,23 days in CRM matrix and at least 240 days in antifreeze additive matrix stored at-20 ℃.The recombinant enzyme protein in self-made matrix and CRM matrix was commutable.Low concentrations of recombinant CK-MM in human serum and in anti-freeze additive matrix were also commutable.Conclusion The recombinant CK-MM had good stability and commutability in either self-made matrix or CRM matrix.It might be used as a candidate reference material for the determination of total creatine kinase in serum.

For hypertension,lowering blood pressure is the basis and well controlled pressure is the core.The ultimate goal of the therapy is to decrease the risk of target organs damage,then minimize the occurrence of cardiovascular endpoint events.Evidence based medicine has confirmed the advantage of ACEI and CCB therapy in controlling blood pressure,lowering the incidence and the mortality of coronary disease.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the development of implants for internal fixation of spinal tuberculosis,and to evaluate the clinical effect and biocompatibility. METHODS:Articles were retrieved from CNKI and Medline database from 1998 to 2008 with the of "spinal tuberculosis,thoracic spine,internal fixation,bone fusion,biocompatibility" in both Chinese and English. Among 50 retrieval articles,20 were included in the final evaluation according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. This study was designed to summarize therapy development of spinal tuberculosis and selection of implants for internal fixation,and to investigate clinical development of spinal tuberculosis therapy,types of implantation,biocompatibility of implants,and complications. RESULTS:Spinal tuberculosis treated by debridement bone graft and internal fixation characterized by reconstructing spinal stability,enhancing bone graft fusion ratio,reducing relapse rate,and preventing loss of corrected angle degree,thus it became a tendency for treatment of spinal tuberculosis. Implants which were implanted in focus of spinal tuberculosis were safe because they could not cause infection diffusion or formation of tuberculose focus in the local region. Otherwise,the implants had a good biocompatibility to host. Individualized program was chosen according to lesion degree and site in order to thoroughly clean focus,reconstruct spinal stability,and provide a stable environment for rehabilitation. Implantation of autologous ilium and titanium-net cancellated bone were widely used on clinic,and both of them had an excellent fusion ratio. Artificial bone did not have immunological rejection to organism,and it was gradually degraded and provided sufficient bone source. CONCLUSION:Spinal tuberculosis treated by debridement bone graft and internal fixation is an effective method to treat severe spinal tuberculosis. At present,autologous ilium and titanium-net cancellated bone are frequently used for clinical internal fixation,because both of them have good biocompatibility. Artificial bone characterizes by well clinical effect and biocompatibility,but the long-term effect and safety need to be further studied.
