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.

Objective To investigate the features of the enhancement of SHCC at triple-phase spiral CT scanning and compare its sensitivity in different phase.Methods The pre- and post-contrast CT scanning of the entire liver in 70 patients with SHCC was carried out with a helical CT scanner. The contrast material was infused at a rate of 3ml/s, followed by sequential arterial-, portal- and equilibrium- phase scans of the liver. The number of the detected lesions was calculated in each phase, the characterization of lesions in each phase was observed.Results Of the 82 detected SHCC, the sensitivity in three phases was 92.68%, 70.73% and 73.17% respectively. The sensitivity increased significantly to 95% by combining the detection of three phases. Conclusion Triple-phase contrast enhanced spiral CT can fully demonstrate the patterns of SHCC and improve its detection rate.

AIM: To evaluate the changes of serum total prostate specific antigen (T-PSA), free prostate specific antigen (F-PSA) and the ratio of F-PSA to T-PSA (F/T) in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and its clinical significance. METHODS: The concentrations of T-PSA and F-PSA in serum were measured by micropartical enzyme immunoassay (MEIA) using AxSYM System, and the F/T ratio was calculated. RESULTS: Before operation, the concentrations of T-PSA and F-PSA in patients with PCa were much higher and F/T ratio was significantly lower than that in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). T-PSA and F-PSA levels decreased, but F/T ratio increased after operation in PCa and BPH. F/T ratio in 83.5% PCa and 6.5% BPH was less than 0.16. To diagnosis PCa, the sensitivity of F/T ratio was 83.5%, and the specificity was 86.7%. CONCLUSION: Serum T-PSA, F-PSA and F/T ratio are important parameters for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. [

Objective To investigate the role of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) transplantation in repairing injured intestinal mucosa of acute pancreatitis.Methods MSCs were harvested and cultured from femurs of male SD rats.Twenty female SD rats were divided into three groups,and serve acute pancratitis (SAP) model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of L-arginine (2 g/kg) twice.Twelve hours after SAP model established,MSC transplantation group (n=8) were injected MSCs (5 × 106 cell/rat) through tail vein for three days,and SAP group (n=6) were injected the same volume of saline through tail vein as control.Control group (n=6) were only injected the same volume of saline without any treatment.All the rats were sacrificed at 72 hours after model established.The small intestinal tissues were taken for HE staining and pathological score,the TNF-α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA expression level in small intestine and pancreas were tested by RT-PCR.Y chromo-some (Sry) gene in pancreatic and intestinal tissue was examined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results The relative expression quantity of TNF-a mRNA and IL-1β mRNA in pancreas was significant higher in SAP group and MSC transplantation group than in control group (7.22 ± 1.99,3.46± 1.75 vs 1.32 ± 1.04 ; 2.71 ± 0.56,1.92 ± 0.28 vs 0.61 ± 0.45 ),the difference was statistically significant (F=18.375,F=22.701; P＜0.05).Compared with SAP group,the expression quantity of TNF-α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA in pancreas was significantly decreased in MSC transplantation group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).The relative expression quantity of TNF-α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA in small intestine was significantly higher in SAP group and MSC transplantation group than in control group (3.93 ± 1.08,2.13 ± 0.53 vs 0.68 ± 0.42 ; 2.44 ± 1.54,1.02±0.44 vs 0.60±0.14),the difference was statistically significant (F=21.772,F=6.132; P＜0.05).The expression of TNF-αmRNA and IL-1β mRNA in MSC transplantation group was lower than that in SAP group,the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.05).Compared with SAP group,pathological score indicated that small intestine injure was slighter in MSC transplantation group (3.83±0.28 vs 2.83±0.56),the difference was statistically significant (F=12.013,P＜0.05).Sry gene could be detected in the pancreatic and intestinal tissue of MSC transplantation group.Conclusion Allogeneic MSC transplantation group can inhibit Pro-inflammatory cytokines expression in acute pancreatitis,relieve the intestinal mucosa injury and may involve in the intestinal tissue repair.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on emergence agitation (EA) following sevoflurane anesthesia in children with cerebral palsy.Methods Fifty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ children with cerebral palsy of both sexes,aged 2-12 yr,scheduled for elective muscle strength muscle tension adjustment method,were randomly allocated into 2 groups (n =25 each):control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of sufentanil 0.3 μg/kg,cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg,and propofol 1.5 mg/kg.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg was intravenously infused over 15 min after induction of anesthesia in group D and the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.The operation was begun at the end of administration.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 2％-4％ sevoflurane and the concentration was adjusted to achieve a target BIS value of 45-60.The heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were recorded before infusion of dexmedetomidine (T1) and at skin incision (T2).The extubation time,emergence time and consumption of sevoflurane were also recorded.The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was recorded at T1,T2,and the end of operation (T3).The adverse cardiovascular events and occurrence of EA were also recorded.The degree of EA was assessed using the Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium (PAED) scale.The peripheral venous blood samples were collected at T1,T2,T3 and extubation (T4) for determination of the blood glucose level and serum cortisol concentration.Compared with group C,the emergence time and extubation time were significantly shortened,and the consumption of sevoflurane,end-tidal sevoflurane concentrations at T2 and T3,PAED scores,incidence of agitation,and the blood glucose level and serum cortisol concentration at T4 were significantly decreased in group D (P ＜0.05 or 0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of bradycardia or heart rate,systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure at each time point between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can decrease the development and degree of EA following sevoflurane anesthesia in children with cerebral palsy.
