Objective:To detection antibody against heat-stable enterotoxin by fusion protein.Methods:Mutant heat-stable enterotoxin precursor gene was ligated in vector pGEX-4T-2 to inductively express as a fusion protein GST/proST_m with glutathione S-transferase(GST).To investigate the antigenic action,serum and fecal antibodies against heat-stable enterotoxin was detected with this fusion protein.Results:The fusion protein was a about 32 kD protein.All the samples contain the antibody against ST.Conclusion:Such strategy was a promising method to detect antibody against heat-stable enterotoxin.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic effect of galactomannan (GM) on bronchial alveolar lavage in patients with non-granulocyte deficiency.Methods 64 patients with suspected invasive pulmonary aspergill were enrolled in our hospital from May 2016 to May 2017.According to the relevant diagnostic criteria,they were divided into the diagnosis group (n =3),the clinical diagnosis group (n =20),the proposed group (n =14) and non-fungal infection group (n =27).All subjects underwent bronchial alveolar lavage and GM testing.Results When the GM value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum GM value increased from 0.5 to 1,the sensitivity decreased,while the specificity and positive predictive value increased.The sensitivity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value of GM detection method for bronchial alveolar lavage fluid were significantly higher than that of serum GM (P < 0.05) at the same GM boundary value,and the specificity was significantly lower than that of serum GM (P < 0.05).When the GM boundary value of bronchial alveolar lavage fluid was ≥ 0.86,the diagnostic efficiency of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis was the highest,the sensitivity and specificity reached 80.26%,75.15%,and the area under the curve was 0.945 (95% CI:0.782-0.986).Conclusions GM detection of bronchial alveolar lavage fluid is more helpful for the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis in patients with non-granulocyte deficiency than serum GM.The optimal threshold is 0.86.

Objective To study the relationship between the rheumatoid arthritis (RA) flatfoot and flexor pollicis longus tendon (FHL) lesion.Methods A total of 120 rheumatoid arthritis flatfoot patients (120 feet) was admitted to our hospital,and were examined by uhrasonography.Foot flexor hallucis longus tendon lesions were analyzed.Theses patients were divided into intact tendon group (group A) with 48 cases,tendon inflammation group (group B) with 45 cases,and tendon rupture group (C group) with 27 cases according to the ultrasound flexor hallucis longus tendon lesions degree.Foot bearing radiographs of all patients were measured,and hallux valgus angle between the first and second metatarsal bones were measured,and the relationship between the flexor pollicis longus tendon lesion degree and hallux valgus angle were analyzed.Results There were 48 cases (40%)with normal FHL,45 cases(37.5%)with FHlL inflammation,and 21 cases(22.5%) with FHL fractures.It revealed that HVA was positively correlated with IMA in group A and B (P < 0.05).But there was no correlation between HVA and IMA in group C (P > 0.05).Conclusion FHL is a common RA flatfoot disease,but FHL is not the initial cause of RA hallux valgus,but is positively correlated with the degree of hallux valgus.

Objective:To explore the relationship between ten‐eleven translocation 2 (TET2) Mutations and Expression of 5hmC in breast cancer .Methods :TET2 mutations in breast cancer tissues from 100 patients were detected by Sanger method . The expression of 5hmC in breast cancer tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry . The relationship between TET2 mutations and expression of 5hmC was analyzed .Results :A total of 13 kinds of TET2 mutations were identified in 100 patients .Among them ,3 new types of mutations were identified in 4 patients . They were Ala341Val , Leu1622Phe and Pro1578Tyr .Pro1578Tyr was identified in two patients .And immunohistochemical analysis showed that there was a sharp reduction of 5hmC in breast cancer tissues with TET2 mutations than in breast cancer tissues without TET2 mutations . Conclusions :T ET2 mutations can lead to decrease of 5hmC level in breast cancer .
