Objective To construct a phage antibody Fab library of human antinuclear antibody. Methods Total RNA was extracted from peripheral blood lymphocytes of 4 patients suffering from autoallergic disease, with antinuclear IgG antibody titers in the serum higher than 1∶10 000 as estimated by indirect immunofluorescence technique. Taking oligo-dT as the primers, human immunoglobulin light chains ?/? genes as well as heavy chains Fd genes were reversely transcribed to cDNA by PCR. The ?/? light chains were initially cloned into pComb3Hss vector to construct a human recombinant light chain library, and the heavy chain genes were subsequently inserted into the corresponding sites of ?/?-pComb3Hss plasmid to generate a recombinant ?/?-Fd-pComb3Hss plasmid. The plasmid was then transformed into E. coli XL1-Blue, which was subsequently infected by the helper phage M13KO7. A random recombinant antibody library was expressed on the surface of filamentous phage. Results Human immunoglobulin ?/? light chain and heavy chain Fd genes (660bp) were amplified successfully. The light chain library with the capacity size of 2?104, and the human recombinant Fab antibody library with the capacity size of 4?104 were also successfully obtained. Finally, the phage antibody library of the Fab fragment of human antinuclear antibody, containing 2?109 CFU/ml phage, was constructed. Conclusion A phage antibody library of Fab fragment of human antinuclear antibody is constructed successfully. This research lays a foundation for the preparation for phage library of Fab fragment of human antinuclear antibody, and also paves the way for the advanced assessment for its effect on the immuno-targeting therapy of tumors.

Objective To study the clinical values of dynamic changes of yon Willebrand factor (vWF) and ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin repeats-13 ) in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Methods Twenty-nine patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage admitted to Department of Neurosurgery from April 2010 through April 2011 were enrolled for retrospective study.They could be categorized into 3 sets of grouping:delayed cerebral ischemia group ( DCI group) and non-delayed cerebral ischemia group ( no DCI group ),cerebral vasospasm group ( CVS group ) and no vasospasm group (no CVS group),and good prognosis group and poor prognosis group,and another 20 healthy subjects as control group.All patients were examined with CT,DSA,or/and CTA to identify the intracranial subarachnoid hemorrhage resulted from aneurysm rupture.The exclusion criteria included:(1)the time from onset to admission was longer than 72 hours or patient was in imminent danger of death; (2)patients had surgery,interventiona] or conservative treatment outside the hospital; (3) patients were under the treatment of antiplatelet medicine such as aspirin,clopidogrel,or other anticoagulants such as warfarin,etc ; (4) patients had blood diseases,impaired kidney or liver function,pregnant,or with recent infections.Venous blood were taken one day,4 days and 10 days after SAH to determine plasma concentrations of ADAMTS13 and vWF by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) was used to measure mean blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery (VMCA).Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score was measured before discharge. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 13.0 software. Results The levels of vWF were significantly higher in DCI group,CVS group and poor prognosis group compared with those in the control group 1 day,4 days and 10 days after SAH.There were differences in vWF between DCI group and no DCI group 1 day and 4 days after SAH ( P < 0.05 ).There were significantly differences in vWF between CVS group and no CVS group,and between good prognosis group and poor prognosis group 4 days and 10 days after SAH ( P < 0.01 ).In DCI group and poor prognosis group,the level of plasma ADAMTS13 was significantly lower 1 day after SAH than that in the normal control group (P <0.01) and in the no DCI group (P <0.O1 ); and there were no differences in ADAMTS13 between CVS group and no CVS group.Conclusions In the early stage,the increase in plasma vWF and decrease in ADAMTS13 activity are associated with DCI,and the decrease in ADAMTS13 activity can be used to predict the outcome.

AIM:To establish the murine model of oxygen induced retinopathy ( OIR) and to evaluate the inhibition of retinal neovascularization by erythropoietin ( EPO) blockade.
METHODS: Neonates of C57BL/6 mouse ( P7 ) were exposed to 75%±2% oxygen for 5d and return to normal air environment when 12d ( P12 ) to establish oxygen-induced retinal neovascularization model. The neonates were divided into groups, injected with 0. 5μL solution containing 25ng ( group A), 50ng ( group B), 250ng ( group C) of soluble erythropoietin receptor ( EPO-R) or PBS (group D) at P12, P14 and P16 in the right eye. On P17, the litters were sacrificed and their right eyes were enucleated and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, made pathological section. The number of breakthrough internal limiting membrane neovascular nuclei was counted with pathological retinal morphology, understanding theproliferative degree of retinal neovascularization.
RESULTS: The pathological sections showed the neovascular cell nuclei which penetrating the inner limiting membrane in intravitreal EPO receptor injection group was reduced statistically than that in PBS injection group, the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.01). And, neovascular nuclei count differences in the
various concentrations of EPO receptor group was statistically significant (P<0. 01). With the EPO receptor concentration increase, neovascular endothelial cells broken through the internal limiting membrane was reduced.
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of soluble EPO receptor can block EPO and improve neovascularization. The new method is expected to become new treatment of ocular neovascular diseases.
