Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between peripheral blood and pleural effusion tuberculosis (TB)
infection effector T cells, and to further evaluate the value of combined pleural effusion adenosine deaminase (ADA) for rapid
diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy. Methods The test data of 80 cases of tuberculous pleurisy and 70 cases of nontuberculous
pleurisy treated in the Sixth People's Hospital of Nantong City from January 2017 to December 2020 were analyzed. The TBinfected effector T cells were also detected simultaneously in the peripheral blood and the pleural effusion by the T-SPOT
technique, and the pleural effusion ADA was detected by the rate method. The subject operating characteristic curve (ROC) was
applied to take the optimal pleural effusion ADA threshold to compare the sensitivity and specificity of different critical values.
Person phase analysis was applied to analyze the correlation between peripheral blood and pleural effusion T-SPOT.TB. Data of
peripheral blood, pleural effusion T-SPOT.TB and ADA were integrated. Results When pleural effusion ADA>45 U/L, the
sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy were 50.0% and 94.3%, respectively; when ADA > 25.15 U/
L, the sensitivity and specificity were 80.0% and 72.9%. When ADA > 45 U / L, pleural/ blood T-SPOT.TB spot ratio (spot
forming cells, SFCs) > 2 times, the specificity for the diagnosis of tuberculous pleurisy was 100% (highest); when 25.15 U/L<
pleural effusion ADA ≤ 45 U/L, pleural/blood T-SPOT.TB spot ratio > 2 times, the specificity for the diagnosis of tuberculous
pleurisy was 92.3% (second). When pleural effusion ADA ≤ 25.15 U/L, and the pleural effusion/blood T-SPOT.TB spot number
ratio > 2 times, with 83.3% specificity (the lowest of the three groups). Conclusions The level of pleural effusion ADA is one
of the most used methods for diagnosing tuberculous pleurisy. Further combination of pleural effusion and blood T-SPOT.TB, if
the ratio of pleural effusion / blood T-SPOT. TB spots is greater than 2 times, it can further improve the diagnosis rate of
tuberculous pleurisy.

To investigate the advantage of using the medical sodium hyaluronate gel undergo goniosynechialysis, and to compare the difference of the viscoelastic agent and perfusion fluid by clinical control study.
●METHODS:Totally 103 cases (103 eyes) patients who had angle- closure glaucoma (ACG) with cataract all in Beijing Tongren Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University, from September 2012 to February 2013. All the patients had primary glaucoma or recurrence ACG with cataract. Their intraocular pressure (lOP) could be controlled in normal value using one or two anti -glaucoma medications. We divided all the patients into two groups by chance. Experimental group had 53 cases (50 eyes), and control group had 50 cases (53 eyes). Two groups all had been performed phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis by the same experiential operator. But experimental group did goniosynechialysis using the medical sodium hyaluronate gel, control group did goniosynechialysis using perfusion fluid. We observed the change of lOP, central anterior chamber depth and anterior chamber structure of two groups in postoperative 1mo.
●RESULTS: SPSS19. 0 statistics software was utilized to analyze the data, This study selected one- side test α =0. 05, adopted paired t - test or two- sample t - test. We obtained that experimental group lOP decreased 12. 42 ± 0. 04mmHg, anterior chamber depth increased 1. 276 ± 0. 201mm; that control group lOP decreased 6. 56 ± 0. 08mmHg, anterior chamber depth increased 0. 852 ± 0. 132mm. And experimental group anterior chamber angle opened more widely than the other group, the comparison had statistical significance (P<0. 05).
●CONCLUSlON: ln phacoemulsification combine with goniosynechialysis,use medical sodium hyaluronate gel do goniosynechialysis can more effectively decrease lOP. This because the medical sodium hyaluronate gel has high glutinousness, it can separate angle of anterior chamber and controlling lOP effectively.

Background and purpose: The diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma sometimes is difficult, metastasis of lymph node is the major reason of local relapse and influence prognosis.This study explores the immunohistochemical expression and their diagnostic value of CK19,HBME-1,galectin3,p27 and cyclinD1 in thyroid papillary carcinoma and the relations between p27,cyclinD1 and lymph node metastasis of papillary carcinoma.Methods: Immunohistochemical staining was used on 50 specimens of benign lesions (40 speciments of nodular goiters and 10 cases of follicular adenomas) and 50 specimens of papillary carcinomas (40 specimens of classic variants and 10 specimens of follicular variants) operated in our hospital from January of 2005 to December of 2008. Results: CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 were expressed in cytoplasm or on the membrane, but p27 and cyclinD1 were expressed on the nucleus. The expressions of CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 in thyroid papillary carcinoma were middle to strong positive, the positive ratios were 100%,96% and 100%, respectively;their expressions in benign lesions were negative or low positive, the positive ratios were 10%,10% and 6%, respectively;there were statistical differences between them (P<0.01). The expression of p27 in thyroid papillary carcinoma was low positive or negative, the positive ratio was 14%, but the expression of p27 in benign lesions was middle to strong positive, the ratio was 84%, there was also significant difference between them(P<0.01). The expression of CyclinD1 were similar in benign and malignant lesions of thyroid, the positive ratios were 68% and 78%, respectively, there was no statistical difference between them(P>0.05). There were significant differences(P<0.01) between the benign lesions and the papillary carcinomas in terms of the combination of CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 expression and there were no significant differences(P>0.05) in the group of the former with underexpression of p27 between the two groups. The differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05) between the underexpression of p27 with the expression of cyclinD1 (the positive ratios in metastasis group and no metastasis group are 72.7% and 71.4%) in the lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: The combined immunohistochemical stainings of CK19,HBME-1 and galectin3 are useful on the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thyroid papillary carcinoma, there is no predicted value of the underexpression of p27 with the expression of cyclinD1 for lymph node matastasis of thyroid papillary carcinoma.

The epitope-G1 gene of Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) glycoprotein was synthesised by PCR and cloned into expression vector pPIC9K to construct recombinant plasmid pPIC9K-G1. Then the pPIC9K-G1 was linearized and transformed into Pichia pastoris GS 115. The recombinant P. pastoris strains were selected by a G418 transformation screen and confirmed by PCR. After being induced with methanol, an expressed protein with 26 kDa molecular weight was obtained, which was much bigger than the predicted size (15.54 kDa). Deglycosylation analysis indicated the recombinant G1 was glycosylated. Western blot and ELISA tests, as well as rabbit immunization and specificity experiments indicated that the target protein had both higher reaction activity and higher immunocompetence and specificity. The recombinant G1 protein could be used as a coating antigen to develop an ELISA kit for bovine ephemeral fever diagnosis.

To investigate the biological role of snake venom cystatin(sv-cystatin) in tumor progression, the cDNA of sv-cystatin amplified by PCR from pUC18-cystatin plasmid was cloned into methanol-inducible expression vector pPICZ?A. The linearized recombinant plasmid pPICZ?A-cystatin was transfered into Pichia pastoris, strain GS115 by electrophoration. Transfermants with phenotype Mut+ selected were identified by PCR analysis and induced in 1.0% methanol. The reombinant sv-cystatin protein was examined by SDS-PAGE, Western blot analysis. The molecular mass of expression product was about 14 kDa and approximately 16 mg/L of recombinant sv-cystatin was produced from one of GS115-cystatin transformants. The chromatography purified protein could reduce the activity of papain. The ability of B16F1 cells treated with recombinant sv-cystatin to invade the reconstituted basement membrane decreased significantly (P
