Objective To study immunological property of chimeric BPVL1 / HPV16 E7 virus-like particles (VLPs) in mice. Methods HPV16 E7 gene was cut into three fragments, ligated to BPVL1 sequence, respectively, and then expressed as chimeric VLPs. The ability of the chimeric VLPs to stimulate in vivo cytotoxic response was analysed with lymphocytes taken from mice C57BL/6J lymph nodes. Results A strong CTL response against C-2 cells (HPV16 E7 aa47-59 transfected EL-4 cell) was induced in mice immunised with chimeric VLPs BPVL1 / HPV16 E7(b). Furthermore, no CTL response was detected against EL-4 cells in immunized mice. Conclusions Chimeric BPVL1/HPV16 E7 VLPs, serving as antigens, can activate mouse T lymphocytes and elicit a strong antigen-specific CTL response. Chimeric BPVL1/HPV16 E7 VLPs could be used as an efficient antigen delivery system, and might provide a novel strategy for HPV16 vaccine design.

The change in serum level of 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG),an oxidative stress biomarker,in patients with active Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) during corticosteroid treatment was observed.The serum level of 8-OHdG was significantly increased in patients with active GO as compared with that of normal controls and patients with Graves' disease (P < 0.05).After systemic corticosteroid treatment,patients with GO showed significantly lowered 8-OHdG level as compared with that before treatment and patients with Graves' disease.These changes in serum 8-OHdG level were accompanied by decreases in clinical activity score (P < 0.05) during corticosteroid treatment.Oxidative stress may play a role in the pathogenesis of GO.Serum 8-OHdG level may be used as an objective and quantitative parameter in patients with GO during immunosuppressive treatment.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at Waiguan (TE5) and Zhigou (TE6) in treating post-stroke hand spasm.MethodSixty patients with post-stroke hand spasm graded≥Ⅰand≤Ⅲby the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) were randomized into a treatment group (30 cases) and a control group (30 cases). The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture at Waiguan and Zhigou plus rehabilitation training, while the control group was by dry rehabilitation training alone. The acupuncture and rehabilitation were performed once a day, 5 sessions a week, totally for 3 months. The change of hand spasm degree was observed by using MAS; the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) was adopted to observe the change of hand function; the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used to observe the change of the activities of daily living (ADL).ResultAfter treatment, there was a significant difference in comparing the MAS score between the two groups (P<0.05); there was a significant difference in comparing the FMA score between the two groups after treatment (P<0.05); after intervention, there was a significant difference in comparing the MBI score between the two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture at Waiguan and Zhigou can significantly improve the hand spasm sate after stroke; acupuncture plus rehabilitation can substantially improve the hand function and ADL of the patients, and can produce a more significant efficacy compared to dry rehabilitation training.

Objective: To study the feasibility of closed and three-dimensional reconstruction of maxillary defects with titanium mesh and free forearm flap. Methods: Maxillary defects, 3 of type Ⅱ and 7 of type Ⅲ, due to tumor or trauma were closely reconstructed with titanium mesh to restore the profile of maxilla and with radial flap to close the oral and the nasal wound surfaces following total maxillectomy (in 3 cases) and subtotal maxillectomy(in 7 cases). Results: 10 cases were followed up for 3~18 months. All the flaps were alive. The maxilla nasal and oral cavity were restored in all the cases and denture was applied in 3 cases. No neoplasm were fond by CT. Mouth opening was 2.5~4.0cm. Epithelium on the surface of the titanium mesh was found by nasopharyngoscope in 2 cases. Conclusion: The closed and three-dimensional reconstruction of maxillary defect with titanium mesh and free forearm flap can restore the shape and the function of maxilla.

OBJECTIVETo study therapeutic effects between hook plate fixation and modified Weaver-Dunn surgery for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
METHODSForty patients with fresh acromioclavicular joint dislocations of type III according to Rockwood classification were reviewed. All the patients were divided into two groups: hook plate fixation group and modified surgery group. There were 20 patients in hook plate fixation group, including 13 males and 7 females, with an average age of (37.45 +/- 14.29) years old; 12 patients had injuries in the left and 8 patients had injuries in the right; preoperative Constant-Murley score was 40.75 +/- 10.40. And there were 20 patients in modified surgery group,including 11 males and 9 females, with an average age of (41.65 +/- 14.83) years old; 11 patients had injuries in the left and 9 patients had injuries in the right; preoperative Constant-Murley score was 42.75 +/- 8.18. The Lazzcano standard, Constant-Murley score and imaging changes were used to evaluate shoulder joint function before and after surgery.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up,and the duration ranged from 7 to 32 months,with an average of 24 months. According to Lazzcano evaluation, 16 patients got an excellent result,3 good and 1 poor in modified surgery group with no re-dislocation, and 1 patient had pain more than middle degree; while in hook plate fixation group, 9 patients got an excellent result, 7 good and 4 poor, 1 patient had re-dislocation, and 3 patients got pain more than middle degree. The therapeutic effects of modified surgery group were better than those of hook plate fixation group. Constant-Murley scores:preoperative 42.75 +/- 8.18 vs 93.40 +/- 4.04 at the latest follow-up in modified surgery group; preoperative 40.75 +/- 10.40 vs postoperative 88.40 +/- 4.81 and 92.05 +/- 4.49 at the latest follow-up in hook plate fixation group. The postoperative scores all improved compared to preoperative scores in two groups. And there was no statistical difference of scores at the latest follow-up between two groups.
CONCLUSIONThe surgery of allograft tendon transplantation combined with anchor fixation to strengthen coracoclavicular ligament, as well as part transposition of acromiocoracoid ligament and resection at the distal part of clavicle may got safety fixation and less postoperative complications compared with hook plate internal fixation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the association between cervical curvature and cervical sympathetic symptoms.
METHODSThe clinical data of 318 patients with cervical spondylosis who underwent surgical treatment in our department between July 2003 and December 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into group without sympathetic symptoms (n = 284) and group with sympathetic symptoms (n = 34) . The curvatures of both groups on cervical lateral radiographs were measured using Borden method and statistical analysis was performed.
RESULTSThe incidence of abnormal cervical curvature in group with cervical sympathetic symptoms were 67.6% (23/34), which was significantly higher than that in group without cervical sympathetic symptoms (50.7%, 144/284) (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONCervical curvature abnormality may be an independent factor that affects the cervical sympathetic symptoms.
