Objective To establish attenuated S. typhimurium expressing Helicobacter pylori (H.pylori) urease subunit B (UreB) and determine whether it could be used as oral vaccine against H.pylori Methods H.pylori (SS1 strain) UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector PTc 01 after sequencing, then transformed into attenuated S.typhimurium SL3261 to acquire SL3261/PTc 01 UreB. The expression of H.pylori UreB in SL3261 was detected by Western blot. Twelve weeks after oral immunization of mice, antibody responses were evaluated using serum and intestinal fluid by ELISA. In vitro stability of PTc 01 UreB plasmid in S. typhimurium SL3261 was confirmed by growing in Luria Bertani medium to 60 generations. Results The UreB gene fragment amplified by PCR was consistent with the sequence of the H.pylori UreB by sequence analysis. Enzyme digestion revealed that the correct PTc 01 UreB was obtained. Western blot showed that 61kD protein was expressed in SL3261/PTc 01 UreB which could be recognized by anti H.pylori UreB antiserum. Anti UreB IgA antibodies in mouse intestinal fluid and IgG antibodies in serum were determined by ELISA. After 60 generations of continuous culture, the recombinant plasmid PTc 01 UreB was stable in SL3261 and had no obvious toxicity. Conclusion The attenuated Salmonella typhimurium expressing H.pylori UreB may be used as oral vaccine against H.pylori infection.

To ascertain whether heat shock gene expression could protect pulmonaryendothelial cell from hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)一indueed injury,the protective effect of HSPgene expression induced by pretreatment of bovine pulmonary endothelial eells(BPAECs)by heat shock (42 ℃, 2h)against lethal dose(lmmol?L(-1),45min) of H2O2一induced cyt-otoxieity was observed in vitro.It was found that BPAECs heat一shocked prior to exposureto H2O2(Immol?L(-1) 45min)showed significant decrease in H2O2一mediated incrementof LDH rdlease and TBARS production and had an obvious alleviation of H2O2一induccddecreased activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase. Further study showed thatcycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor and Actinomycin D,a mRNA transcriptioninhibitor blocked the expression of HSP 70 and HSP 70 mRNA respectively.Both agentsprevented the cytoprotective effect of heat shock pretreatment against H2O2一mediatedBPAECs injury. The results suggested that HSP70 gene selectively translated after heat shockwas invoived in enhancement of eellular antioxidant mechanism and protected BPAECsagainst H2O2一induced injury

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of ultra photon intense pulsed light combined with hydroquinone cream for the treatment of chloasma.Methods:From January 2020 to October 2022, a total of 30 patients with chloasma treated in the Department of Dermatology, Huazhong University of Science and Technology Union Shenzhen Hospital, ranged from 28 to 54 years old with an average age of 39 years, were randomly divided into three groups with 10 patients in each group: combined treatment group was treated with ultra photon intense pulsed light combined with hydroquinone cream; ultra photon intense pulsed light group was treated with ultra photon intense pulsed light alone; hydroquinone group was treated with hydroquinone cream alone. The efficacy and safety of the three groups were compared after four months of treatment.Results:After the treatment, 10 cases were effective in the combined treatment group, 5 cases were effective in the ultra photon intense pulsed light group and 2 cases were effective in the hydroquinone group. The total effective rate of the combined treatment group was significantly better than that of the ultra photon intense pulsed light group and the hydroquinone group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). The average melasma area severity index score of the three groups after treatment was significantly decreased compared with that before treatment respectively ( P<0.05), and the average melasma area severity index score of the combined treatment group after treatment was significantly lower than that of hydroquinone group, with statistical significance ( P<0.05). No serious adverse reactions were observed in all the patients. Conclusions:Ultra photon intense pulsed light and hydroquinone cream can improve chloasma alone, but ultra photon intense pulsed light combined with hydroquinone cream has better therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore the value of T2-mapping imaging in assessment of lumbar dorsal extensors group (multifidus,longissimus and iliocostalis) function before and after exercises in healthy volunteers.Methods Totally 50 healthy young volunteers underwent T2-mapping imaging before and after exercises.T2 value and cross-section area (CSA) of multifidus,longissimus and iliocostalis were measured at the level of L3 and 14 superior border.Differences of CSA and T2 value were compared between left and right side muscles before and after exercises.The correlation between CSA difference and T2 difference before and after exercises was analyzed.Results At the level of L3 and L4 superior border,CSA and T2 value of bilateral multifidus,longissimus and iliocostalis increased after exercises (all P＜0.05).At the level of L3 superior border,CSA after exercises and CSA difference of left multifidus were higher than those of right side (all P＜0.05).Before exercises,there were statistical differences of T2 values on left and right side of longissimus and iliocostalis at the level of L3 superior border and the longissimus at the level of L4 superior border (all P＜0.05).Positive correlations were found between CSA difference and T2 difference on bilateral iliocostalis at the level of L3 and L4 superior border,as well as on bilateral multifidus at the level of L4 superior border (all P ＜0.05).Conclusion T2-mapping imaging can be used to assess the activity state of lumbar dorsal extensors group before and after exercises.

Objective To investigate the value of blood oxygenation level dependent(BOLD)fMRI in assessing the functional changes of the lumbar dorsal extensor muscles before and after exercise in healthy young people.Methods The changes of the R2*value of lumbar dorsal extensor group in 30 healthy young volunteers(15 males and 15 females)before and after exercise was prospectively studied.BOLD-fMRI scans were performed on healthy young volunteers before and after exercise, the exercise mode was to perform the upper body flexion and extension movement with a simple Rome stool.The scanned images were processed and analyzed, the cross-sectional area and R2* value of the lumbar dorsal extensor muscles (including the multifidus,the longissimus and the iliocostalis)were measured at the upper margin of the L3 and L4 vertebral body before and after exercise.The paired t test was used to compare CSA and R2*values of muscles before and after loading. The CSA and R2* value of different muscles in different sides were compared by independent sample t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relevance between CSA and R2* in muscle before and after exercise. Results After exercise, the R2* values of multifidus,longissimus and iliocostalis at the upper margin of the L4 vertebral body were[(39.2±8.6),(38.9± 7.7),(41.6±7.8)]Hz,significantly lower than before exercise[(46.1±6.9),(45.3±6.2),(46.0±6.7)]Hz(P<0.01);the changes of R2*values of the muscles between the left and right sides before and after the movements were not statistically significant(P>0.05).The R2*values of longissimus and iliocostalis at the upper margin of the L3 vertebral body were[(44.2±9.1),(46.6±9.3)]Hz,significantly lower than before exercise[(48.6±7.2),(49.7± 6.8)]Hz (P<0.01), but the R2* values of multifidus after loading was (43.9 ± 9.0)Hz, there was no statistical difference compared with before exercise (46.8 ± 6.6)Hz (P>0.05);there was a significant difference in the changes of R2*value before and after the movement between the left and right side of iliocostalis(P<0.05).A significant negative correlation between CSA and R2*value was found in the iliocostalis on the right side at the upper margin of L3 vertebral body and in the multifidus on the left side at the upper margin of L4 vertebral body,and the correlation coefficients were (-0.697,-0.616).Conclusion BOLD-fMRI can be a new way to assess the functional changes of the lumbar dorsal extensor group before and after exercise.

Objective:To investigate the application effects of flipped classroom combined with mini-clinical evaluation exercise (Mini-CEX) evaluation on the cultivation of clinical ability of professional postgraduates majoring in clinical medicine.Methods:A total of 32 trainees, the professional postgraduates majoring in clinical medicine integrated with standardized residency training who rotated in the Department of Neurology, The Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2019 to January 2020 were selected and divided into control group and the experimental group, with 16 ones in each group. The control group were taught with the traditional standardized residency training program, while the experimental group were assessed by Mini-CEX evaluation once every two weeks combined with flipped classroom in stages on the basis of the control group. At the end of the training, the application effects of these two teaching methods were evaluated by theoretical knowledge and clinical comprehensive ability (including 7 aspects of medical history collection, physical examination, clinical diagnosis, treatment plan, medical ethics, doctor-patient communication and overall evaluation). SPSS 22.0 was used for t test. Results:At the end of the training, the scores of theoretical knowledge in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group [(89.83±3.93) points vs. (85.75±5.34) points], with statistical differences ( P<0.05). For the clinical comprehensive ability, the scores of history collection, physical examination, clinical diagnosis, treatment plan, doctor-patient communication and overall evaluation were higher in the experimental group than in the control group ( P<0.05), except for the medical ethics. Conclusion:The application of flipped classroom combined with Mini-CEX evaluation improves the teaching quality and strengthens the clinical comprehensive ability of students, which is worth promoting in clinical practice.

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy and stability of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) algorithm in optical surface imaging (OSI) system in non-coplanar radiotherapy.Methods:Three OSI imaging systems were used to measure the phantom repeatedly at different couch rotation angles to analyze the accuracy and stability of OSI system. Seven patients with multiple brain metastases who underwent single-center non-coplanar radiotherapy were randomly selected, and the accuracy and stability of OSI for patient imaging were analyzed. Stability is defined as the difference between the two OSI measurements when the couch is turned from 0° to a non 0° angle, and then back to 0°, using the 0° cone beam CT (CBCT) as the "gold standard". Accuracy is defined as the difference between OSI and CBCT (at 0° couch angle) measurement data. The measurement data with normal distribution were described as Mean ± SD. The data with non-normal distribution were expressed as M (Q). The difference of the former data was compared by one-way ANOVA, and the difference of the latter data was assessed by Kruskal-Wallis H nonparametric test. Results:For non-coplanarity, the translation accuracy of the phantom and the patient was ≤ 1.30 mm and ≤ 1.00 mm, and the rotation accuracy was ≤ 0.50° and ≤ 0.60°, respectively. The translation errors mainly occurred in the left-right and head-foot directions. In terms of stability, the maximum standard deviation of phantom coplanar translation and rotation was 0.06 mm and 0.06°. The maximum standard deviation of patient translation and rotation was 0.17 mm and 0.19°.Conclusions:Although the new SRS algorithm improves the non-coplanar accuracy, it still cannot meet the precise requirements of non-coplanar single isocenter radiotherapy for multiple brain metastases, especially in the left-right and head-foot directions. When the couch rotation angle is large, OSI is not recommended for image-guided radiotherapy. However, its high stability can be used to monitor the intrafractional motion of patients.
