Objective:To produce monoclonal antibodies(McAb) against aspergillus fumigatus and to establish rapid assay for the measurement of aspergillus fumigatus antigen.Methods:Recombinant galactomannoprotein of aspergillus fumigatus(AFMP1) was used to immune BALB/c mice.Monoclonal antibodies against AFMP1 were produced from hybridoma.Results:Three hybridomas producing antibodies against AFMP1 were obtained.IgG isotypes of three McAb were IgG1,IgG2a and IgG2b.The affinity constants(K) were 1.2?10 10 ,4.56?10 9 and 1.81?10 10 mol/L.The antibodies were proved to be specific for aspergillus fumigatus by Western blot and recognized different epitopes on AFMP1 by the additivity assay.An sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) to detect AFMP1 was established to produce standard curve which showed linearity between 0.1~60.0 ng/ml with a sensitivity of 0.1 ng/ml.Conclusion:These results show three hybridomas producing high specificity and affinity monoclonal antibodies against AFMP1 and can provide for rapid assay for the measurement of aspergillus fumigatus antigen.

Objective Analyzed the cause and time of hypokalemia complication that dexamethasone used for hyperthyroidism preoperative preparation.Methods The study consisted of 161 patients with hyperthyroidism disease,who were used the dexamethasone in his or her preoperative preparation at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between August 2011 and July 2013.Results In the 161 hyperthyroidism patients,composed of 41 men and 120 women,twenty-seven patients happened hypokalemia and 92.6% occurred after the first.Twenty-six men patients developed hypokalemia complication when used dexamethasone for hyperthyroidism preoperative preparation,while only 1 woman patient occurred the hypokalemia complication.Among the 11 patients who with a history of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis,10 cases occurred after given dexamethasone hypokalemia,only 1 case has no hypokalemia.Conclusion Dexamethasone and other drug used in hyperthyroidism preoperative preparation,which was rapid,safe and effective,but it can lead to hypokalemia complication,especial in the 24 hours after the first use,should be brought clinical doctors attentions,and give timely diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To report our usage of a combined flap which is constituted of bilateral hallux nails, skins, bones to reconstruct a finger, and to introduce the method and outcome of this way. Methods Combine two halves of halluxes harvested from both feet to reform a fabricated finger and then transplant it to the finger stump to reconstruct the defect part of the finger. Plantar flaps or some other flaps near the donor sites were transposed to cover them. From June 2003 to June 2009, a total of 20 fingers (20 cases) which had defect degrees range from I to Ⅲunderwent reconstruction surgeries in this way. Results All the 20 fingers transplanted survived completely. Follow-ups 1 to 5 years after each surgery: all the fabricated fingers had very realistic configurations. The MP joints of the reconstructed thrumbs got to the normal range of motion, and the other reconstructed fingers' total ROM were 203 degree on average. All the reconstructed fingers had the sensation function above S3,and their two-point discriminations ranged from 6mm to 10mm. Both halluxes of each case were conserved major parts of nails and had nice, symmetric appearances. All the flaps for the donor halluxes survived completely, and none of the cases showed pains, ulcers or abrasions of their feet. All the cases showed normal gaits during follow-ups. Conclusion The combined flap by bilateral hallux nails, skins, bones is an ideal alteration for finger defect reconstruction for the important advantages of realistic configuration as well as minor destructions to donor sites.

Objective To confirm the deviation between the present charge and real cost of nursing by comparing them between PICC and jugular veins catheter,and the advantages and disadvantages were weighed between them in tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy.Methods The cost of manpower,financial resources or materials for 106 patients with PICC,68 patients with jugular veins catheter were measured,accounted and statistically analyzed with the ladder sharing method for project cost.Comparing the cost between calculation cost and current charging standard,and the cost and clinical application was studied.Results The real cost of PICC was (2259.99±30.99)Yuan and current charging standard was 1532.79 Yuan,the deviation was -727.20 Yuan,and the real cost of jugular veins catheter was (393.86±33.93) Yuan,and current charging standard was 292.13 Yuan,the deviation was -101.73 Yuan.The complication rate was 12% in PICC,17% in jugular veins catheter.The real cost of nursing on PICC and jugular veins catheter was higher than current charging standard,and the real cost of single nursing on PICC was 5.74 times higher than jugular veins catheter.The cost remains unchanged with 4~6 course of chemotherapy treatments in a year.Conclusions The advantages of PICC are more than jugular veins catheter,so the preferred choice is PICC,and jugular veins catheter comes secondary.

Objective:To analyse the anatomical change of the human temporomandibular joint(TMJ) in the position of mandibular lateral displacement and to provide the anatomical data for temporomandibular disorder.Methods:3 of the 8 samples of selected fresh cadavers were adjusted to mandibular lateral displacement position, and 5 to edge-to-edge occlusion position,then samples were fixed and sectioned according to coronal and sagittal planes by using plastination technique. The feature of the thin plastination sections of the TMJ in the mandibular lateral displacement position and were compared with that in edge-to-edge occlusion position.Results:On the working side in mandibular lateral displacement position, condylar moved backwords,upwards and outside in the articular fossa. Articular discs of TMJ did not move following condylar movement,but posterior band of the articular disc was suppressed by the condylar and articular fossa. On the non-working side in mandibular lateral displacement position, condylar moved ahead,downwards and inwards along posterior incline of articular tuberculum,then articular discs did not move,and middle band of articular discs was suppressed by the condyle and articular tuberculum.Conclusions:The TMJ disc does not shift as TMJ condylar process turns in articular fossa.When the condylar turns and slides at the same time,the articular discs shift.

Objective To study the immunoregulatory effects of thalidomide on the peripheral blood T-lymphocytes of rheumatoid arthritis patients.Methods MTr was used to detect the effects of different thalidomide concentrations on the proliferation of T-cells.Flow eytometry was used to analyze T-cells early apoptosis and the T-cells subsets in different concentration of thalidomide.The mRNA expression of IL-6,IL- 10 and TNF-α was measured by RT-PCR method.Results The level of thalidomide at 500 μg/ml inhibited the proliferation of T-ceils and the CD3+CD28+ expression of T-cell subsets,but promoted the early apoptosis and the CD8+CD152+ expression of T-cell subsets.Thalidomine at any concentration could inhibit the mRNA expression of IL-6,TNF-α.However,the level of thalidomide that could promote the mRNA expression of IL- 10 was 100 μg/ml and 500 μg/ml.Conclusion Thalidomide can inhibit the proliferation of T lymphocytes and the expression of CD3+CD28+ on T-cell subsets.It can promote the early apoptosis and the CD8+CD152+ expression of T-cell subsets.Thalidomide inhibits the mRNA expression of IL-6 and TNF-α but promote the mRNA expression of IL-10.Thalidomide has immuno-regulatory effects on rheumatoid arthritis T-cells.
