Objective To investigate the value of ultrasound diagnosing for hydropneumothorax. Methods In a prospective double-blind randomized concurrent controlled trial. 213 patients doubted pneumotborax were exam-ined with CT, senography and conventional radiography. Results In 213 cases, hydropneumothorax diagnosed in 30 hemithoraces of 30 patients by CT,29 hemitboraces by ultrasound and 22 hemithoraces by X-ray. The sensitivity, nega-tive predictive value,accuracy by ultrasound and X-ray were 96.7% vs 73.3% ,99.8% vs 98.0% ,99.8 vs 98.1% respectively(P<0.05), the specificity and positive predictive value of both ultrasound and X-ray were 100%. Ultra-sound surpassed the X-ray in detecting pneumothorax ( McNemar test P<0.025 ). Conclusion If ultrasound is served to detect pneumothorax, it can make up the defects of the methods commonly used cuxrently.

Objective To explore the relationship between embryo damage and anxiety,depression and life events during pregnancy. Methods A case control study was carried out. 192 women diagnosed with embryo damage were selected as the case group,and 192 normal pregnant women or normal parturition within 7 days were selected as the control group from March to June,2014.All cases were from two 3-A-grade general hospitals of Jining. Self-rating anxiety scale ( SAS ) , center for epidemiological survey, depression scale( CES-D) and life events scale for pregnant women( LESPW) were used to evaluate the anxiety,depres-sion and life events of the two groups,so as to analyze the association between these factors and embryo dam-age. Results Multiple non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that anxiety ( β=0. 409, OR=1.050,95%CI =1.003-1.009) ,depression( β=0.085, OR=1.088,95%CI =1.035-1.145) ,life events dur-ing pregnancy( β=0.003, OR=1.003,95%CI =1.001-1.005) were the risk factors of embryo damage,while education ( β=-0.749, OR=0.452,95%CI=0.298-0.685) ,pre pregnancy health status ( β=-1.366, OR=0.255,95%CI =0.098-0.655) and taking the initiative to acquire knowledge of eugenics ( β=-0.884, OR=0.413,95%CI =0.203-0.840) were the protective factors of embryo damage. Conclusion Anxiety,depres-sion and life events during pregnancy are related to the occurrence of embryo damage. High degree of educa-tion,pre pregnancy in good health and taking the initiative to acquire eugenics knowledge can reduce the oc-currence of embryo damage.

Objective To probe into the treatment method of filter channel obstruction after trabeculectomy. Methods Filter channel obstruction occurred in 25 eyes within one month after trabeculectomy,and they were retrospectively analyzed. According to different parts of obstruction,they were divided into three types namely inner obstruction, middle obstruction and outer obstruction. Patients with inner ob-struction were given miosis, separation of the anterior synechia, and expansion of peripheral iris incision when necessary. Patienrts with mid-dle obstruction were given reconstruction of the trabecular incision. Patienrts with outer obstruction were given conjunctiva or sclera flap dis-section within 1 month afer trabeculectomy. Results Postoperative IOP ( intraocular pressure) decreased significantly compared with preop-erative IOP. The IOP stabilized at 13~21 mmHg in the fallowing 6~12 months after operation. Conclusion Taking appropriate measures could restore the filtration function within one month after trabeculectomy when the incision adhesion was not very close.

Abstrac:Objective To analyze the efficacy and safety of medpor-coated tear drain in lacrimal bypass surgery without skin incision. Methods The data of 7 patients(7 eyes) who underwent no skin incision of lacrimal bypass surgery with medpor-coated tear drain were ret-rospective reviewed. The operation result and complications were observed. Results All patients were followed up for 5~17 months. Com-plete or significant improvement of epiphora was achieved in 5 cases at the last follow-up. Complications included conjunctival granulation hy-perplasia (3 eyes),nasal mucosal granulation hyperplasia (2 eyes),and discomfort (4 eyes). Conclusion The lacrimal bypass surgery with medpor-coated tear drain could be expected to improve epiphora of refractory lacrimal obstruction. The main complications are granulation hyperplasia and discomfort.

In the process of evolution, pathogenic Streptococcus pyogenes secretes an immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme IdeS which can specifically cleave the hinge region of immunoglobulin G in order to escape the immune response against the host. On the one hand, IdeS can be used for IgG fingerprinting as a tool enzyme combined with mass spectrometry technology. On the other hand, IdeS can be used to treat the antibody-responsive diseases produced by autoimmunity as a therapeutic protein. In this study, the backbone of plasmid pCold was used to construct two expression vectors of recombinant protein IdeS, which were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli Shuffle T7. After purification by affinity chromatography, the recombinant IdeS activity was detected and their activity differences between the two were compared. Among them, the yield of the recombinant IdeS containing the His6-tag at the N-terminus was 4 mg·L^-1, and the cleavage reaction with antibody IgG1 at 1∶200 (m/m) at 37 ℃ for 30 min could complete. However, the yield of the recombinant IdeS containing both the N-terminal His6 tag and the C-terminal silica affinity tag (silica bing peptide, SiBP) is 1.5 mg·L^-1, and the degradation reaction with antibody IgG1 at 1∶20 (m/m) at 37 ℃ for 30 min could reach the end. The C-terminal fusion peptide has a great influence on the yield and activity of IdeS, which is not conducive to subsequent application in drug development. Above all, the recombinant IdeS containing the His6-tag at the N-terminus expressed by this system has high activity and can fully meet the needs of antibody drug development and mapping analysis of IgG.

Objective To investigate the regulatory effects of miR-146a on inflammation factors production in C ryptococcus neoformans treated THP-1 cells.Methods Cryptcoo ccus neoformans strains were heat killed .Fluorescence quantitative RTP-CR and ELISA were used to detect the levels of IL -1βand TNF-αin THP-1 cells treated with heat-killed Cryptococcus neoformans.In addition, the production of IL-1βand TNF-αwere analyzed before and after Dectin-1or TLR 4 blocked .THP-1 cell lines that were respectively transfected with miR-146 a mimics and inhibitors were constructed and the production of IL-1βand TNF-αin these cell lines were analyzed after interfered with Cryptococcus neoformans.Results With the interference of heat-killed Cryptococcus neoformans, the expression of miR-146a was up-regulated in THP-1 cells, but was down-regulated after Dectin-1 or TLR4 blocked.The expressions of IL-1βand TNF-αinduced by heat-killed Cryptococcus neoformans were enhanced in miR-146a mimics transfected THP-1 cells, but was inhibi-ted in inhibitors transfected THP-1 cells.Conclusion Heat-killed Cryptococcus neoformans could up-regu-late miR-146a expression in THP-1 cells via Dectin-1 and TLR.miR-146a could negatively regulate the ex-pressions of IL-1βand TNF-αinduced by Cryptococcus neoformans.

Objective To discuss the effectiveness of the second surgical procedure of adjacent segment degeneration after the first spinal fusion.Method 35 patients who had been performed spinal fusion in our hospital or had symptoms recurred or aggravated after 12 ～ 114 (42 ±35) months of the prior surgery were enrolled in this study.A second surgery was performed and intraoperative the intradiscal pressure of adjacent segments of degeneration and normal segments was measured.The VAS score systems were compared among prior surgery,3 months later and 2 years after the second surgery.Result The intradiscal pressure of adjacent segments after the cervical vertebra and lumbar vertebra fusion were [ (15 ± 4.6)cmH2O,(23 ±5.2)cmH2O],much higher than normal segments [ (3 ±2.3)cmH2O,(8 ±4.1)cmH2O](P ＜0.01).The VAS score systems of 3 months later and 2 years after the second surgery were [ (2.9 ±0.7),(2.0 ± 0.6) ],which were dramatically lower than the prior (7.8 ± 1.2) (P ＜ 0.01).In 12 ～ 46(31 ± 12) months of follow-up after the second procedure,X-ray and MRI showed that fusion segments reached nearly bone fusion,well decompressed and without nerve compression or other complications.Conclusion If recurrence of symptoms after spinal fusion were caused by adjacent segment degeneration,reoperation would guarantee good clinical outcome.
