Objective To investigate the factors affecting the recovery of immunological function after bilirubin decreasing interventional therapy in patients with obstructive jaundice.Methods 67 patients with malignant obstructive jaundice were investigated.The patients were randomly divided into the enteral nutrition (EN) group (n =34)and the parenteral nutrition (PN) group (n =33).TBIL,DBIL,TSP,ALB,PA,TF,CD3 +,CD4 +,CD8 +,CD4 +/CD8 + were determined before PTCD and at the 7th day after the procedure.Results Except for 20 patients,the levels of TBIL,DBIL,CD8 + significantly declined,and the levels of TSP,ALB,PA,TF,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8 + significantly increased in the 2 groups of patients.There was no significant difference in the recovery of liver function and immunological status between the PN and the EN groups.Conclusions The recovery of immunological function was significantly associated with reduction of serum bilirubin in patients with malignant obstructive jaundice.There was no relationship with the ways of nutrition support.

Puromycin-sensitive aminopeptidase (PSAP) belongs to the M1 family of aminopeptidases, characterized by the N-terminal substrate binding sequence GAMEN, the enzyme activity center HEXXH(X)₁₈E motif, and the C-terminal ERAP-1-like superfamily structural domain. Encoded by the gene NPEPPS located at 17q21.32, PSAP consists of 919 amino acids and is widely distributed throughout the human body, with the highest expression in the brain, followed by the heart and skeletal muscle. It is also found in the liver, renal tubular epithelium, small intestine, large intestine epithelium, and gastric epithelial cells. PSAP primarily relies on its aminopeptidase hydrolytic activity to remove toxic protein aggregates such as Tau, poly Q, and Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase 1, making it an important factor in the development of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's chorea, and tumors. Existing PSAP inhibitors include bestatin, amastatin, leuhistin, actinonin, and purinomycin, some of which are already available or in clinical trials. This review provides an overview of the structural and biological functions of M1 family aminopeptidases, with a focus on PSAP, to facilitate further research and targeted drug development.

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a common degenerative joint disease. Biomechanics of lower extremity plays an important role in KOA. Foot progression angle, with the advantages of non-invasive, convenience, has been attached great importance by people gradually. Changing foot progression angle may effect the knee adduction torque, tibia rotation, muscle activity, which leads to change the load of the knee joint, and alleviate the pain, improve the function of knee joint and the quality of life of the patients.

Literature review of the world on hospital brands, data collection in summary and comparison, and specialist consultancy were used to set the appraisal indicators, while the stratum analysis was used to calculate the weight coefficients of individual indicators, for building the appraisal indicators system for hospital brand effect. In addition, the indicators system and appraisal model were called into play to explore the use of hospital brands, offering scientific references for hospital management.

Objective To analyze the CT findings of melamine induced urinary calculi.Methods Nineteen children with a history of ingestion of melamine contaminated infant formula milk were studied, including 12 males and 7 females, age ranged from 50 days to 5 years.Results CT demonstrated renal pelvic and ureteral stones in 13 cases, with urinary obstruction in 9 of them.The size of the stones ranged from 0.3 cm × 0.3 cm to stag-horn calculus.The density of the stones measured from a low of 40-70 HU up to a high of 410 HU with an average density of 160 HU.Conclusion CT scan is an excellent modality in demonstrating urinary tract calculi caused by melamine. It is the method of choice when ultrasound examinations are equivocal.

Objective To evaluate and follow-up the effection of vertebral artery origin stenting (VAOS) by color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI) and assess the rate of restenosis after stenting. Methods One hundred and thirty-five patients with stenosis of vertebral artery origin segment underwent stent input,135 pieces of stent was input in vertebral artery origin segment with moderate or severe stenosis,in which 70 bare metal stent(BMS) and 65 drug-eluting stent(DES). The diameter of VAOS, peak systolic velocity (PSV),end diastolic velocity (EDV) and resistence index(RI) of segment at origin and cervical vertebral were evaluated before and every 1,3,6, 12 month after VAOS by CDFI. The incidence of restenosis were calculated,and the factors of restenosis were analysed by COX regression. Results The diameter of VAOS was improved from (1.20±0.38) mm to (2.61±0.49) mm after stent procedure ( P = 0. 000), PSV and EDV also decreased from (296.02 ± 113.86)cm/s to ( 113.47 ± 36.35 )cm/s and (90.08 ± 47. 59)cm/s to (32. 21 ± 12. 69)cm/s respectively(P=0.000). The PSV and RI in cervical segment were increased from (46. 88 ± 17.46)cm/s to (67.79 ± 24.31 ) cm/s and 0. 54 ± 0. 10 to 0.62 ± 0.09 respectively( P = 0. 000).Over a median 7 months follow up(range 1 to 12 months) ,the cumulative restenosis rate at 3,6,12 month were 7.9% ,16. 9% and 25.0% respectively. DES was the only one negtive predictor of restenosis(OR=0. 388,95% CI:0.162-0.931, P = 0.034),and the factor of residual stenosis contributed to the occurance of restenosis after stenting(OR = 3.758,95% CI:1.498-9.427, P=0.005). Conclusions CDFI is a sensitive and noninvasive examination to follow-up VAOS and detect in-stent restenosis immediately. VAOS has a high rate of restenosis. DES is effective to prevent in-stent restenosis.

In vascular invasive surgery procedures, because doctors suffered from a large number of X-ray radiation, and it is difficult to manipulate catheter, so vascular interventional robot has been rapidly developed. On the basis of analysis of vascular surgical intervention process, key technologies of vascular interventional surgical robots are provided. The image navigation system, the mechanical structure, control systems and force feedback are also analyzed.

HPV16 L2E7 is a fusion protein used for therapeutical vaccine targeting HPV virus. To increase its expression in Escherichia coli, we optimized the codon usage of HPV16 l2e7 gene based on its codon usage bias. The optimized gene of HPV16 sl2e7 was cloned into three different vectors: pGEX-5X-1, pQE30, ET41a, and expressed in JM109, JM109 (DE3) and BL21 (DE3) lines separately. A high expression line was selected with pET41a vector in BL21 (DE3) cells. After optimization of the growth condition, including inoculation amount, IPTG concentration, induction time and temperature, the expression level of HPV16 L2E7 was increased from less than 10% to about 28% of total protein. HPV16 L2E7 protein was then purified from 15 L culture by means of SP Sepharose Fast Flow, Q Sepharose Fast Flow and Superdex 200 pg. After renaturing, HPV16 L2E7 protein with ≥ 95% purity was achieved, which was confirmed via SDS-PAGE gel and Western blotting. The combined use of purified HPV16 L2E7 and CpG helper has shown clear inhibition of tumor growth in mice injected with tumor cells, with six out of eight mice shown no sign of tumor. This study lays a solid foundation for a new pipeline of large-scale vaccine production.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of gastrointestinal tract involvement of anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL).

METHODSThe clinicopathological features of four patients with ALCL that involved gastrointestinal tract were retrospectively analyzed using immunohistochemical study, T-cell receptor gene rearrangement analysis, and evaluation for Epstein Barr virus infection status.

RESULTSMost tumor cells in all these four cases are large and highly pleomorphic, and all four cases were classified as the common pattern ALCL. Tumor cells in all four tumors expressed CD30, and expressed at least one cytotoxic maker. Two patients were confirmed to be with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive ALCL, and four patients were negative during in situ hybridization for Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA but showed clonal T-cell receptor gene rearrangement.

CONCLUSIONGastrointestinal tract involvement of ALCL has the unique clinicopathological features.
