Objective To obtain the specific human scFv basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)using phage antibody library technology. Methods The library was panned with human recombinant bFGF for 4 rounds. The antigen binding activities of random clones were tested by ELISA in order to select specific antibodies, which were then examined by DNA sequence analysis. Results The positive clone selected from the 104 random clones was able to bind bFGF specifically, while not able to bind other growth factors,such as aFGF, VEGF(vascular endothelial growth factor). By competition ELISA assay we found one clone 44 could inhibit bFGF binding to FGFR1. Conclusion Seven specific human phage antibody against bFGF was obtained by phage display technique, one clone could inhibit bFGF binding to its high affinity receptor FGFR1.

Objective Comparison of three different molecular assays for the detection and molecular characterization of circulating tumor cells in breast cancer .Methods The retrospective study compared three different molecular assays to detect CTC in the peripheral blood of 30 healthy individuals and 71 benign breast disease patients and 83 early and 84 metastatic breast cancer patients .All samples were collected at the outpatient , inpatient and physical examination department of Sichuan Provincial People ′s Hospital from January 2011 to June 2014.The same cDNAs were analyzed by:singleplex RT-qPCR assay for BCL-2, multiplex RT-qPCR for BCL-2, HER-2, HMAM, and a commercially available molecular assay (AdnaTest BreastCancer ) for GA733-2, MUC-1, HER-2.The positive of CTC were compared among healthy individuals and benign breast disease patients and breast cancer patients .Chi square test was used to compare the expression of gene markers among the three groups , and the agreement of Kappa test was used to evaluate the method.Results (1) Detection rates of early breast cancer by single RT-qPCR, Adna kits and multiple RT-qPCR were 13.3%, 16.9% and 18.1%, respectively , and the detection of metastatic breast cancer were 31.0%, 42.9%and 35.7%, respectively.There were significant differences in the positive of CTC by three molecular assays between healthy individuals and benign breast disease patients and early breast cancer patients ( The test values were 4.235 and 4.301, 5.367 and 5.474, 5.894 and 6.023 respectively, P<0.05).There were no differences between benign breast disease patients and early breast cancer patients (The test values were 0.891,0.748 and 0.701 respectively,P >0.05) .There were significant differences between metastasis breast cancer patients and healthy individuals and benign breast disease patients and early breast cancer patients ( The test values were 8.429,7.553 and 7.061;10.24, 9.025 and 8.745; 9.658, 8.417 and 8.201 respectively,P<0.05).(2) In early breast cancer: The concordance between AdnaTest and single RT-qPCR was 79.5%while between AdnaTest and multiplex RT-qPCR was 77.1%.No agreement was found among them ( The test values were 1.065 and 1.871, P were 0.371 and 0.258 ) .The concordance between single RT-qPCR and multiplex RT-qPCR was 80.7%.No agreement was found between them (The test values was 2.814, P was 0.156).(3) In patients with overt metastasis:The concordance between AdnaTest and single RT-qPCR was 78.6%( The test values was 10.986).While between AdnaTest and multiplex RT-qPCR was 80.9%( The test values was 9.251 ) . Agreements were found among them ( P was 0.002 and 0.005 respectively ) .The concordance between single and multiplex RT-qPCR was 88.1%( The test values was 12.364 ) .Agreement was found between them (P was 0.001).Conclusions No correlations were found among different molecular methods to detect CTC in the early primary breast cancer , but correlations were found in the metastatic breast cancer , suggesting that different rate of CTC caused by the number of CTC and its heterogeneity should be considered to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer while molecular method is used .

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical efficacy between adenoidectomy combined with auripuncture (AT+A) and adenoidectomy combined with tympanostomy tubes (AT+T) in children wiht otitis media with effusion. METHODS 92 cases of children with otitis media with effusion were selected from September 2010 to September 2014 in our hospital which was divided into AT+T group and AT+A group, depending on therapy methods.There were 48 in AT+T group and 44 in AT+A group. Retrospective analysis were made on a series of clinical data ,including the therapeutic effect, hearing threshold before and after treatment, infection rate and recurrence rate. RESULTS The hearing threshold has been significantly reduced within one year of follow-up after treatment,however,there was no significant difference (P>0.05). Total efficiency rate was 97.9% in AT+T group and 95.4% in AT+A group, no significant difference was found (P>0.05). The average middle ear fluid duration, infection and recurrence rate of children in AT+T group and AT+A group was (7.3±0.8) days, 6.3%, 4.2% and (11.7±0.4) days, 15.9%, 11.4% respectively, there was significant differences (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Both AT+T and AT +A have a good therapeutic effect for children with otitis media with effusion, which can significantly improve the hearing. Compared to AT+A, AT+T have a higher recovery rate,significantly reduce the recurrence and infection rate,and may be more suitable for clinical treatment of children with otitis media with effusion.

Butyric acid can be used to produce cellulose butyrate fiber and ester derivatives,and to be applied in foodstuffs and perfume industries.Recent researches have found that butyric acid is a preferred carbon source for colonic epithelial cells,and can inhibit histone deacetylase,showing great anticancer potentials.With more and more functions of butyric acid being found and applied in bio-related fields,and with consumer's growing preference to bioproducts,biotechnological production of butyric acid will receive more competence than petroleum-based chemical synthesis.Low product concentration and poor selectivity are presently the main restricting factors.Workers have made considerable progress on more cheep carbon sources,optimization of fermentation process,simplifying downstream processing,and genetic engineering of producing strains.Any achievement on these aspects in the future can contribute to put fermentation of butyric acid into industry.
