The two pabAB genes encoding aminodeoxychorismate synthase(ADC synthase)from a L-serine producing strain Corynebacterium glutamicum SYPS-062 and model strain Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 were ampilified by PCR.The result of nucleotide sequence analysis showed that both pabAB fragments were 1863bp,encoding 620 amino acids.16 bases differences that resulted in the changes of 7 amino acids were found in the pabAB of SYPS-062.The two pabAB were inserted into pET-28a to yield the recombinant expression vector pET-28a-pabAB and then transfromed into BL21(DE3).Upon IPTG induction,soluble ADC synthase was over-produced by E.coli BL21(DE3)harboring the expression construct.Recombinant ADC synthase purified by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography showed a single band about 67kDa on SDS-PAGE gel,and activity of aminodeoxychorismate synthase analysis show that the enzyme specific activity of SYPS-062 is 46.6% lower than ATCC 13032.

BACKGROUND: Thoracodorsal artery perforator flap can relieve damage to donor site and avoid bulk in the recipient site,but dissociation of perforating branch took time.Some one believed that it should be done by very experienced physicians and some muscle tissues should be reserved.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the method,effectiveness and clinical application of improved latissimus dorsi flap based on perforator flap conception for reconstruction of soft tissue defects of lower extremity.METHODS: A total of 17 patients needing skin flap transplantation were selected.12 latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous/muscle flaps,3 latissimus dorsi flaps with a few muscle and 2 double-leaf segmental latissimus dorsi compound flaps were designed based on perforator flap conception.According to the territory of latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap,a skin paddle in which anterior underlying muscle and main perforator was designed,extend about to the anterior edge of the latissimus dorsi muscle.An additional latissimus dorsi muscle flap was selected for soft tissue enlargement if necessary.Sometimes,double-leaf segmental latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous/muscle flap,including one muscle-sparing latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap and the other segmental latissimus dorsi muscle flap nourished by the lateral branches of the thoracodorsal vessels was selected to repair two adjacent defects.The harvested tissue area ranged from 12 cm×8 cm to 28 cm×17 cm.Survival state of skin flap,together with shape and function of donor site and recipient site of skin flap were observed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Following skin flap transplantation,one case developed vascular crisis that was relieved following re-exploration for vessel anastomosis.All skin flap survived.Second-stage skin grafting was done on one muscle flap wound.All donor sites were sutured directly.After a follow-up of 3 to 18 months in 15 cases,only two cases received two-stage plastic operation because bulky flaps brought some trouble in wearing shoes.Improved latissimus dorsi flap based on perforator flap conception can reduce damage to the donor site and the receipt area bulk.Double-leaf segmental latissimus dorsi compound flaps can repair both heel and toe wound.The versatile latissimus dorsi flap designed using thoracodorsal artery perforator flap conception is an ideal flap for repairing widespread soft tissue defects in the lower extremity.

Objective To investigate the difference of complication incidence, death rate, quantity of lymphadeneetomy, lymphatic metastasis rate and long-term survival rate in thoracic squamons cell carcinoma of esophagus between three fields lymphadenectomy (3-FL) and traditional method. Methods Homoehronous 96 esophageal cancer patients were fractionated in two groups, 46 patients for 3-FL, the other 50 patients for traditional method. Results The average quantity of lymphadenectomy was 39.28 pieces per patient in 3-FL, and was significantly higher than 13.30 pieces per patient in traditional method (P <0.01). The rate of metastatic lymphatic nodes was 73.91%(34/46) in 3-FL patients, significantly higher than38.00%(19/50) in traditional method patients. For incidence of postoperative complications, recurrent laryngeal nerve damage and respiratory complication in 3-FL patients was significantly higher than patients in traditional method (P <0.05). The chest fluid obviously inereasod in 3-FL patients than in traditional method patients. There was significant contrast in 3-year survival rate between 3-FL patients and traditional method patients. Conclusion The there fields lymphadenectomy expand scope of lymphdenectomy effectually, accurate the staging of thoracic esophageal carcinoma. At the same time, a lot of evidence was found in raising survival rate for 3-FL. Disadvantage of 3-FL was severe surgical trauma, high incidence of complication, and a long recovery time after operation.

BACKGROUND:The smal intestinal submucosa has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, and also contains a variety of growth factors that can significantly promote celladhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Currently, the smal intestinal submucosa has been widely used in bone and cartilage, blood vessels, skin, bladder, smooth muscle and pancreatic tissue repair, showing good performance as a tissue-engineered cellscaffold.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the in vitro feasibility of tissue engineered periosteum constructed by porcine smal intestinal submucosa and osteoblasts differentiated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were harvested from 2-week-old healthy New Zealand rabbits by using adherent method, and then cells were cultured, induced, differentiated and identified in vitro. Fol owing induced differentiation and identification, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were compounded with porcine smal intestinal submucosa to fabricate tissue engineered periosteum. The adhesion, growth, and proliferation of cells on the materials were observed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 5 days after inoculation, the cells receiving osteogenic induction could quickly adhere and proliferate on the surface of porcine smal intestinal submucosa and be interconnected;at 10 days, the desmosomes formed among the cells, cellprocesses from osteoblasts were visible and attached to the smal intestine submucosa;at 15 days, cellproliferation and secretion of matrix appeared, and multi-layer membrane-like structure formed on the surface of the smal intestine submucosa. These findings indicate that after osteogenic induction, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can be combined with porcine smal intestinal submucosa to construct a tissue engineered periosteum, which is hoped to be an ideal scaffold for tissue engineering.

Objective To study the anatomic features of the gracilis muscle flap and its clinical application in tongue reconstruction.Methods Thirty gracilis muscles in 15 cadavers were dissected,and the morphometric parameter of the gracilis muscle and the origin,length,diameter of the vascular and nerve pedicle were observed and measured.Results The length of the total gracilis and the muscle belly was 41.8±3.9 cm and 31.0±3.6 cm respectively,and the width and thickness of the muscle was 3.2±0.7 cm and 1.7±0.2 cm respectively.The blood supply to the gracilis originated from multiple source vessles,and two to five pedicles supplied the gracilis from its deep surface and entered the muscle near its anterior border,of which the dominant pedicle and the first distal pedicle were consistent in their anatomy which originated from the profunda femoris vessels and the femoris vessels respectively.The length and external diameter of these vessels were suitable for microvascular anastomosis,while other vessel pedicles were neither consistent in their anatomy nor the length and external diamiter suitable for microvascular anastomosis.The nerve to the gracilis arose from the anterior division of the obturator nerve consistently and its length and external diameter was suitable for anastomosis with the hypoglossal nerve.Conclusions Because of superficial location,excellent morphological match for tongue,consistency in its vascular and neural pedicle's anatomy and suitability of neurovascular pedicle' s length and external diameter for microsurgical anastomoses,possibility of regaining tongue movements,the gracilis flap is a ideal option for tongue reconstruction.

The scores of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) and Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) in the observation group were lower than those in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Health education based on feedback theory can improve the health education awareness, self-management ability of patients undergoing ERCP and improve their negative emotions.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate safety and immunogenicity of inactivated hepatitis A vaccine in HBsAg carriers and healthy children.

METHODSOne hundred and twenty-one healthy children and ten HBsAg carriers, aged 1-10 years HAV susceptible were enrolled in the study. The inactivated hepatitis A vaccine was produced by Tangshan Biogenetic Company. The dosage of the vaccine was 1000 U/Dosage and 500 U/Dosage. The vaccination schedule was six month apart for two injections. The serum anti-HAV level was detected with EIA at one month after first injection and at one and six month after the booster injection, respectively.

RESULTSThe anti-HAV appeared in all the children. One month after the booster injection, the serum anti-HAV level in children vaccinated 500 U/Dosage was 4684.9 mIU and 4535.6 mIU, respectively and in the children vaccinated 1000 U/Dosage, 5399.8 mIU and 7347.1 mIU, respectively. The anti-HAV level was not statistically different between the two groups of children. There was no adverse reaction after the vaccination. The anti-HAV level was still high one year after first injection.

CONCLUSIONSThe data indicated that the safety and immunogenicity of the domestic inactivated hepatitis A vaccine were excellent in both groups of children.

Objective:To investigate the application value of self-pulling and latter transection (SPLT) technique in double anti-reflux double-tract reconstruction of totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy.Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopatholo-gical data of 103 patients with Siewert type Ⅱ adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction in clinical stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ who were admitted to Shanxi Cancer Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were collected. There were 65 males and 38 females, aged from 45 to 79 years, with a median age of 59 years. Of 103 patients, 49 cases undergoing totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction of SPLT were assigned into the SPLT group, 54 cases undergoing totally laparoscopic proximal gastrectomy with conventional double-tract reconstruction were assigned into the traditional group. Observation indicators: (1) intraoperative situations; (2) postoperative situations; (3) follow-up. Follow-up was conducted by outpatient examination and telephone inter-view to detect postoperative reflux esophagitis of patients up to December 2021. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and the t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range) or M( Q1, Q3), and the Wilcoxon test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was performed using the chi-square test. Comparison of ordinal data was analyzed using the non-parameter rank sum test. Results:(1) Intraoperative situations: the operation time, digestive tract reconstruction time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, cases with auxiliary incisions for the SPLT group were (261±48)minutes, (26±4)minutes, (114±42)mL, 8.0(6.5,9.5), 1, respectively. The above indicators were (244±42)minutes, (30±6)minutes, (118±46)mL, 5.5(4.0,8.0), 9 for the traditional group, respectively. There were significant differences in the digestive tract reconstruction time, the number of inferior mediastinal lymph nodes dissected and cases with auxiliary incisions between the two groups ( t=-3.34, Z=-4.05, χ2=4.72, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the operation time or volume of intraoperative blood loss between the two groups ( t=1.87, -0.47, P>0.05). (2) Postoperative situations: duration of postopera-tive hospital stay and cases with postoperative complications were (11.5±2.7)days and 4 for the SPLT group, versus (12.5±4.3)days and 9 for the traditional group, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=-1.47, χ2=1.68, P>0.05). There were 13 of 103 patients with postopera-tive complications, including 5 cases of left pleural effusion, 4 cases of anastomotic leakage, 2 cases of mild pneumonia, 1 case of incision infection, 1 case of chylous leakage. Four patients had anasto-motic leakage at the esophagojejunostomy, the abdominal esophagus of whom was invaded by more than 1 cm. During the operation, mediastinal drainage tubes were placed through the abdominal wall. The 4 patients were cured after enteral and parenteral nutrition support and adequate drainage, and the remaining patients with complications were cured after symptomatic treatment. (3) Follow-up: of 49 patients in the SPLT group, 43 cases were followed up for (18±4)months. During the follow-up, 1 case showed reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, with the incidence of 2.33%(1/43). Of 54 patients in the traditional group, 53 cases were followed up for (17±4)months. During the follow-up, 4 cases showed reflux esophagitis by gastroscopy, with the incidence of 7.55%(4/53). There was no significant difference in the incidence of reflux esophagitis between the two groups ( χ2=0.47, P>0.05). Conclusions:SPLT technology is feasible for double anti-reflux double-tract reconstruction of proximal gastrectomy. Compared with traditional double-tract reconstruction of totally laparos-copic proximal gastrectomy, SPLT technology can reduce the auxiliary incisions, increase the number of lower mediastinal lymph nodes dissected, and shorten the digestive tract reconstruction time.
