Many specific therapeutic antibody drugs have been developed for different indications. In drug development, it has been found that the antibody isotype framework can not only affect the physical and chemical properties of therapeutic antibodies, but also influence the activity and therapeutic effect. As a result, IgG isotype selection should be considered carefully in antibody drug development strategies. Because of the unique biological characteristics, IgG4 isotype has been used in some therapeutic antibodies for which effector functions are not desired. In order to provide new ideas for the development of antibody drugs, the research and application progress of IgG4 isotype in therapeutic antibody drug development has been reviewed.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression patterns of the chemokine CXCL12 and its receptor CXCR4 in human sperm.

METHODSWe collected semen samples from 10 fertile men, performed density gradient centrifugation, and then determined the expressions of both CXCL12 and CXCR4 in the sperm by RT-PCR and immunofluorescence staining.

RESULTSRT-PCR revealed the mRNA expressions of CXCL12 (0.641 +/- 0.180) and CXCR4 (0.464 +/- 0.100) in the sperm. However, only CXCR4 rather than CXCL12 was expressed at the protein level, and the positive staining for CXCR4 was observed mainly in the posterior part of the acrosome.

CONCLUSIONCXCL12 and CXCR4 are involved as important molecules in regulating the function of human sperm.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the reproducibility of Gleason scores for prostate cancer.

METHODSBased on the revised Gleason Scoring System of the International Society of Urological Pathology ( ISUP) , we analyzed the reproducibility and difference of Gleason scores in 49 cases of prostate cancer using the methods of combination and grouping.

RESULTSThe total reproducibility of Gleason scores among 15 pathologists was good (κ = 0.642), 62.2% by the combination method, the highest in Gleason 5 + 5 (81.2%) and 5 +4 (73.3%), then in Gleason 4 + 4 (67.5%), 3 + 3 (64.0%), 4 +3 (61.3%), and 3 + 4 (44.0%), and the lowest in Gleason 4 + 5 (38.9%) and 3 + 5 (33.3%). The total reproducibility of Gleason scores by the grouping method was 71.4%, the highest in Gleason 9-10 (84.9%) , then in Gleason 7 (76.7%) and 6 (64.0%), and the lowest in Gleason 8 (60.7%).

CONCLUSIONThe reproducibility of Gleason scores remains to be further improved in prostate cancer, mainly concerning the understanding of Gleason 3 and 4 carcinoma.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of barium meal in gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD).Methods The data of patients who performed barium meal from January 2003 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed,and the GERD detection rate and its relationship with gender and age were calculated and compared.The degree and position of reflux during barium meal in 454 patients in 2012 and the relationship between age and degree and symptom of reflux were studied.Results The GERD detection rate was 13.48％(2 743/20 353) from January 2003 to December 2012,and increased by years.The GERD detection rate in male and female were 13.73％(1 312/9 554) and 13.25％(1 431/10 799) respectively,and there was no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).With the increase of age,the GERD detection rate increased aslo.In patients of age ≤30 years,31-60 years and ≥61 years,the GERD detection rate were 6.87％ (197/2 866),11.63％(1 096/9 421) and 17.98％(1 450/8 066) respectively,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The mild reflux accounted for 242 cases,the moderate reflux accounted for 110 cases,and the severe reflux accounted for 102 cases in patients with GERD in 2012,and there was also an aggravating reflux degree with the increase of age.In patients ≤30 years,31-60 years and ≥61 years,the reflux degree were 10.26％(4/39),17.92％(38/212) and 29.56％(60/203) respectively (P ＜ 0.05).The position with left anterior oblique was most often,accounting for 95.37％(433/454).Conclusions Barium meal can be directly observed,and evaluate the degree of reflux and position.Barium meal is simple and intuitive,and can be used as one of GERD diagnostic methods.

Objective To establish an ELISA method for detection of the concentration of TAP in human urine samples.Methods TAP-BSA was used as coating antigen. The TAP was a competitor to TAP-BSA. They reacted to the limited amount of monoclonal antibody against TAP.Results The optimal concentration of the coating antigen was 250ng/ml.The dilutions of monolclonal antibody against TAP and sheep anti-mouse IgG were 25?g/ml and 1∶4 000 respectively. The optimal range was from 0.69 to 1 000ng/ml.The assay provided a sensitivity of 0.69ng/ml.The coefficients of variation of intra-assay and inter-assay were 9.10% and 10.33% respectively. The average recovery rate of TAP was 97.70%.Conclusion The indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay is established.

To obtain the criterion of Laser induced Autofluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy in the differentiation of normal lung tissue and lung cancer and study the feasibility of LIF spectroscopy in the diagnosis of lung cancer, the LIF spectra of normal lung and lung cancer in 42 surgical specimens have been measured with a detecting system which consists of an YAG laser(wavelength 355nm) and an optical multichannel analyzer(OMA). Spectroscopic differences between normal lung and cancerous tissues have been found which could be used as a criterion to distinguish from them . The pathological examinations were done to compare with the criterion. The results showed:① The location of the principal spectral peaks of the normal lung tissue (470.8?6.3)nm and lung cancer ( 463.7 ?4.8)nm are different( P

Objective To investigate the effects of a short hairpin RNA targeting epidermal growth factor recereceptor (EGFR-shRNA) on Colo-16 cell apoptosis and sensitivity to rapamycin. Methods The expression vector of EGFR-specific shRNA was constructed. Colo-16 cells were classified into 4 groups, normal control group remaining untreated, liposome group transfected with lipofectamine 2000, negative control group transfected with shRNA-NC/Iipofectamine 2000 and positive interference group transfected with the expression vector of shRNA-EGFR/Lipofectamine 2000. After additional culture, immunocytochemistry and Western blot were conducted to detect the protein expression of EGFR, and flow cytometry to measure the apoptosis in Colo-16cells. MTT assay was performed to measure the sensitivity of Colo-16 cells to rapamycin. Results Compared with the normal control group, the expression of EGFR was down-regulated by 43.3% in positive interference group (F= 44.6, P< 0.05), and the sensitivity to rapamycin was increased by 2.44 folds. The apoptosis rate in positive interference group was (12.65±0.091)%, significantly different from that in the normal control group (F = 2042.9, P < 0.05). Conclusion The plasmid expression vector containing shRNA targeting EGFR can effectively suppress the expression of EGFR by Colo-16 cells, enhance the sensitivity of Colo-16 cells to rapamycin and induce the apoptosis in Colo-16 cells.

AIM: To investigate effect of autogenous conjunctival flap transplantation in the treatment of severe fungal corneal ulcer.
METHODS: A total of 83 cases ( 83 eyes ) with severe fungal corneal ulcer treated in our hospital from Jan. 2013 to Jan. 2016 were selected. Among them, 36 cases ( 36 eyes) were treated with drug therapy, and 47 patients(47 eyes ) were treated with autogenous conjunctival flap transplantation, two group did fungal culture and identification, observed the two groups treatment effect.RESULTS:The effective rate of surgical treatment group was 89%, significantly higher than that of drug treatment group, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05 ); The effective rate of surgical treatment of filamentous bacteria was 92%, which was significantly higher than that of drug treatment, the difference was statistically significant(P<0. 05). The effective rates of surgical treatment and drug treatment of yeast were 80%and 78%, the difference was not statistically significant( P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Autologous conjunctival flap transplantation in the treatment of severe fungal corneal ulcer has good curative effect. The operation is simple, worthy of recommendation method. Filamentous bacterial corneal ulcer without good drug therapy effect, surgical treatment should be performed in a timely manner to improve the curative effect.
