Abstract] Objective To establish an assay for the detection of porcine parvovirus ( PPV) and to verify its application for monitoring cells used for production.Methods A pair of primers and one probe were designed according to the conserved sequence encoding non-structural protein 1 (NS1).Based on the designed primers, a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay for the detection of PPV was developed. Several parameters including the linearity, precision, minimum detection limit and anti-interference of the established assay were evaluated.A stock of PPV strains was prepared by infecting swine testicle ( ST) cells with PPV strains.An assay for the detection of PPV infection was developed by using ST cells as sensitive cells.A combined ST cell infection-PCR test was developed by combining the ST cell infection assay with the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay.The sensitivity of ST cell infection-PCR test was analyzed.The cell samples used for production of biological products were detected by using the established assay.Results The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay was specific for the detection of PPV without cross-reaction to other species of parvovirus virus, SV40 virus and other porcine viruses.The linear range of the assay was 1×109-1×104 copies/μl with a R2 value more than 0.98.The sensitivity of the real-time quantitative PCR assay was 1×104 copies/μl.Both of the intra-and inter-coefficient of variation (CV) were less than 5%in Ct values.The intra-and inter-CV in copies of detection were 5%-15% and 30%-40% respectively.The minimum detection limit of the real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR assay was 1CCID50/ml.The PPV strains were detected in cell samples with no interference.The sensitivity of ST cells infection-PCR test was 0.01CCID50/ml.All of the 22 cell samples were negative for PPV by using the real-time fluorescent quanti-tative PCR assay.Conclusion The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and the ST cell infection-PCR test for the detection of PPV in cells were established successfully.The application of the two assays was conducive to further enhance the safety of using cells for production and therapy.

Objective To investigate the level of self-concept on occupation among junior nurses.Methods One hundred and thirty-nine nurses with nursing experience of 1-5 years were involved in the survey by using the Nurses' Self-Concept Questionnaire (NSCQ).Comparisons were done between the groups of nurses with undergraduate education and those with three-year training courses in terms of self-concept and its dimensions.Results The total score of junior nurses on self concept was(5.33±0.77).The score of the nurses with undergraduate education was(5.16±0.88),significantly lower than the score of(5.44±0.71)of the nurses with three-year training courses(P<0.05).Conclusion The nursing administration should attach importance to the self-concept on occupation, instructing specially the nurses with undergraduate education so as to enhance their mental health and their self-identification of nursing as an occupation.

Objective To observe the effect of electromyographic (EMG) biofeedback on lower limbs motor function in stroke patients with hemiplegia. Methods 60 stroke patients with hemiplegia were divided into treatment group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups accepted exercise therapy, and the treatment group accpted EMG biofeedback in addition. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), and Barthel Index (BI) before and 4 weeks after treatment. Results There was no significant difference between 2 groups in the scores of FMA, BBS and BI before treatments (P>0.05). All the scores significantly improved after treatments in both groups (P<0.05), and improved more in the treatment group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Electromyographic biofeedback can further improve lower limbs motor function, balance and activities of daily living of stroke patients with hemiplegia.

Objective To establish and evaluate 3 kinds of minimally-invasive valve implantation model in vivo.Methods A novel tissue engineered heart valve(TEHV) manufactured by branched polyethylene glycol cross-linked acellular porcine valve and a minimally-invasive valve implantation system according to the design of Corevalve revalving system were adopted.After anesthesia,18 adult male goats were randomly divided into 3 groups: the ulrasound-directed orthotropic group (group A,n =6),angiography-directed orthotropic group (group B,n =6) and direct-released heterotopic group (group C,n =6),and all received minimally-invasive valve implantation orthotropically or heterotopically.4 weeks later,the valvular function was evaluated by CTA and/or echocardiography.Results All 3 kinds of caprine model were successfully constructed.The operation success rate of each group was A: 66.7％,B: 50.0％ and C: 100.0％,respectively(multiple x2 analysis,group A and B P ＞0.05; group A and C,group B and C,P ＜0.05).The operation-time of each group was A: (79 ± 18) min,B:(61 ±23) min,C: (45 ± 15) min(one-way ANOVA,P ＜0.05).The survival rate at4 weeks was A: 100％,B: 100％ and C: 83.3％ (multiple x2 analysis,P ＞ 0.05).Echocardiography and CTA proved the short-term function of implanted TEHV was satisfactory.Conclusion All 3 kinds of caprine valve implantation model can be established without cardiopulmonary bypass and blood transfusion.The devices and equipments required in group A is relatively simple,but the procedure cost longer time for it is hard to determine the right position by ultrasound.The application of angiography made the positioning much easier in group B while the procedure had to be performed in specific operation room with angiographic apparatus.Group C did rely on neither special equipments nor complex operation,but the valve leaflets cannot work normally,so this model was only suitable for testing in vivo characteristics such as biocompatiblities.

Objective To establish an assay for the detection of Torque teno sus virus ( TTSuV) strains and to analyze its preliminary application to biologics.Methods Primers and probe were designed according to the conserved sequences.A fluorescent PCR assay for the detection of TTSuV strains was estab-lished.Several parameters including the specificity, linearity, accuracy, sensitivity and anti-interference of the established assay were verified.The fluorescent PCR assay was performed to detect the samples of por-cine blood, cell substrate and rotavirus vaccine.The porcine blood samples positive for TTSuV strains were further genotyped.Results The established fluorescent PCR assay was confirmed to have high specificity as no cross-reactions with parvovirus virus of various species, SV40 and porcine circovirus strains were detec-ted.The linear range of the assay was 1×109-1×103 copies/μl for TTSuV1 genotype and 1×109-1×102 cop-ies/μl for TTSuV2 genotype with a R2 value more than 0.993.The sensitivity of the fluorescent PCR assay was 1×103 copies/μl for TTSuV1 genotype and 1×102 copies/μl for TTSuV2 genotype.The intra-and inter-CVs were both less than 7%in Ct values and less than 25% and 45% respectively in copies.No interfer-ence was found in the detection of TTSuV nucleic acids from cell samples.8 out of 20 porcine blood samples were positive for TTSuV strains, among which one sample was positive for TTSuV1 genotype, four samples were positive for TTSuV2 genotype and the rest were positive for both TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 genotypes.Com-pared with the reference strain, strains genotyped as TTSuV1 and TTSuV2 were respectively shared 98%-99%and 98%homologies in sequences.All of the cell substrate and rotavirus vaccine samples detected by the fluorescent PCR assay were negative for TTSuV strains.Conclusion The fluorescent PCR assay for the detection of TTSuV was established successfully, the application of which would further improve the safety of biologics.

Objective To estimate the value of fecal tumor M2-PK in the detection of colorectal adenoma and to evaluate its potential as a screening tool for colorectal adenoma.Methods Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the fecal tumor M2-PK in stool samples of 65 patients with colorectal adenoma and 25 controls.At the same time,the peripheral blood tumor markers such as carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA),carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9,CA24-2 and fecal occult blood test (FOBT) were detected in the colorectal adenoma group.Results The detection value of fecal tumor M2-PK in the colorectal adenoma group showed a significant increase,compared with the control group((6.033±4.123) U/ml vs.(2.782±1.464) U/ml,t=-3.839,P=0.000).The highest detection value was found in the group where the diameter of adenoma was greater than or equal to 2 cm ((8.775±6.548) U/ml,t=9.635,P=0.034).The larger the diameter of adenoma,the higher the positive rate of fecal tumor M2-PK (85.7% vs.41.7% vs.29.6%,χ2=11.977,P=0.003).In the colorectal adenoma group,The positive detection rate of fecal tumor M2-PK was significantly higher than that of CEA,CA19-9,CA24-2 and FOBT (46.2% vs.6.2% vs.1.5% vs.1.5% vs.27.7%,?2=76.607,P=0.000).Conclusion Fecal tumor M2 pyruvate kinase has a good clinical value in the diagnosis of colorectal adenoma.

Objective To optimize and compare four in vitro cytotoxicity assays in order to find a relatively rapid assay that can replace the traditional 51Cr release assay to evaluate the cytotoxicity of immune cells prepared for immunotherapy.Methods Four assays including BATDA, CAM (calcein acetoxymethyl ester), CytoTox-Glo and PKH were optimized and used to measure the in vitro cytotoxicity of NK-92 cells to K562 cell line.Intra-and inter-assay reproducibility of these assays and their correlation with 51Cr release assay were analyzed.Results After optimization, all of the four cytotoxicity assays showed good correlation with effector to target (E/T) ratio in a certain range.Compared with the other three assays, CytoTox-Glo assay showed obvious hook effect at a high E/T ratio of 40∶1.BATDA assay could detect the significant cytotoxicity of NK-92 cells to K562 cells after incubating them for one hour and that was the shortest time taken by the four assays to detect in vitro cytotoxicity.Both CAM and PKH assays took about four hours and CytoTox-Glo assay took six to eight hours to detect the significant cytotoxic potency.All of the four assays, especially BATDA and CAM assays, showed good intra-and inter-assay reproducibility.Among these assays, BATDA assay showed the best correlation with the traditional 51Cr release assay.BATDA assay, as compared with the other three assays, could be used to detect the cytotoxicity of Caov3 cells, an adherent cell line, and showed good results in evaluating the cytotoxic potency of autologous primary NK cells and CD19-CAR T cells.Conclusion Compared with the other three assays, BATDA assay shows the best linear correlation with 51Cr release assay and has the advantages of time-saving and good reproducibility.Besides, it is a better assay for detecting the cytotoxicity of adherent cells.BATDA assay is a promising substitute for 51Cr release assay in evaluating the in vitro cytotoxic potency of NK cells and other immune cells.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of low molecular weight heparin calcium and rivaroxaban combined with atorvastatin on related indexes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism(APE). METHODS:The data of 72 APE patients were analyzed retrospectively. According to treatment plan,the patients were divided into group A(21 cases),group B(26 cases)and group C(25 cases). Group A was treated with intramuscular injection of Low molecular heparin calcium injection immediately after admission;2 days later,they were given Warfarin sodium tablets;7 days later,Low molecular heparin calcium injection was stopped while warfarin was still administrated,lasting for 3-6 months. Group B was given Low molecular heparin injection(same usage and dose as group A);2 days later,they were additionally treated with Rivaroxaban tablets;7 days later,Low molecular heparin calcium injection was stopped while rivaroxaban was still administrated,lasting for 3-6 months. Based on the treatment in group B,group C was treated with Atorvastatin calcium tablets 20 mg orally,once a day in the evening,lasting for 3-6 months. The time of dyspnea,chest pain and cyanosis disappearance were observed in 3 groups as well as the levels of HR,pa(O2),pa(CO2), CRP,D-dimer,TNF-α,IL-1,IL-6,ET-1 and NO before and after treatment. The occurrence of clinical outcome events and ADR were also observed. RESULTS:The time of dyspnea,chest pain and cyanosis disappearance in group A were longer than group B, and the group B was longer than the group A,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statistical sig-nificance in the levels of HR,pa(O2),pa(CO2),CRP,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α,D-D,ET-1 and NO among 3 groups(P>0.05). After treatment ,HR of 3 groups were all lower than before ,and they showed group Agroup B>group C,with statistical signif-icance(P<0.05). After treatment,CRP,IL-1,IL-6,TNF-α and D-D levels in 3 groups were significantly lower than before,and they showed group C>group A and group B,with statistical significance (P<0.05);but there was no statistical significance be-tween group A and B(P>0.05). ET-1 levels in 3 groups were significantly lower than before,and the levels showed group group group B>group A,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of clinical outcome events in group A was significantly higher than group C, the incidence of ADR in group B was significantly lower than that group A,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Low molecular weight heparin calcium and rivaroxaban combined with atorvastatin can significantly im-prove clinical symptoms and blood gas indexes,relieve vascular endothelial damage,reduce the levels of inflammatory cytokines and improve the prognosis of patients with APE,without increasing the incidence of ADR.

Background and purpose: Docetaxel plus prednisone chemotherapy can improve the patients' survival for castrate-resistant prostate cancer. Angiogenesis inhibitors can also inhibit the growth of tumor. The curative effect of combined treatment is still not clear. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of docetaxel plus prednisone combined with thalidomide in treating castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients with bone metastasis. Methods:A total number of 78 CRPC patients were selected in Fuzhou General Hospital from Dec. 2008 to Jun. 2015. Seventy-eight patients were divided into two groups: 40 patients in chemotherapy group (docetaxel plus prednisone) and 38 patients in combined treatment group (docetaxel plus prednisone combined with thalidomide). A total number of 78 subjects were evaluated by the effective rate, the remission rate of bone pain, the prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression-free surviv-al, the overall survival and adverse effect. Results: The response rate (65.79%) and the remission rate of bone pain (86.84%) in combined treatment group were both higher than those in chemotherapy group (40.00% and 60.00%, P<0.05). The PSA progression-free survival (4.13 months), progression-free survival (4.25 months) and the overall survival (18.06 months) in combined treatment group were all longer than those in chemotherapy group (3.54, 3.75 and 16.26 months). The PSA pro-gression-free survival was significantly longer in combined treatment group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the overall survival between two groups (P>0.05). The rates of adverse effects including peripheral neuritis and lethargy in combined treatment group (26.32% and 55.26%) were higher than those in chemotherapy group (5.00% and 17.50%, P<0.05). Conclusion: Thalidomide combined with docetaxel plus prednisone in CRPC patients with bone metastasis can prolong the PSA progression-free survival and overall survival. The adverse effects are mild. It may become a new choice of treatment for CRPC.
