In recent years, with the rapid development of antibody drugs, the antibody-based therapies have gradually expanded from the cancer and autoimmune diseases to metabolic and infectious diseases and so on. However, the development of antibody-based anti-infective drugs is much slower as there are only two kinds of drugs in the market. This is due to the complex infective mechanism of viruses, bacteria and other pathogens, and the monovalent character of monoclonal antibodies that greatly limit the anti-infection effect of antibody drugs. The development and application of novel technologies, such as recombinant polyclonal antibody technology, will greatly accelerate the development of antibody-based anti-infection drugs. This article will introduce the application and trends in the development of antibody-based drugs in the field of anti-infection therapy.

Based on the theory and approach of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the literatures on the improvement of physical function by physical exercise were reviewed. People with disabilities can improve their body functions, in-cluding mental function, cardiovascular, blood, immune and respiratory function and neuromuscular skeletal and motor related functions via sport and exercise rehabilitation. Some advice was suggested about sports rehabilitation for the disabled.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of growth and secretion in primarily cultured human pheochromocytoma cells.MethodsThe human pheochromocytoma tissues were digested successively,and the tumor cells were cultured.The growth curves of three tumors were plotted by cell count.At the same time,the catecholomine in the medium was measured with high performance liquid chromatography.ResultsThe number of primarily cultured human pheochromocytoma cells increased gradually from first to sixth day after plating,and then the cell number began to decrease from seventh day.The levels of norepinephrine(NE) and epinephrine(E) in the medium of cultured cells significantly decreased on first and second day,and the levels of NE and E had no significant difference on the second to eighth day.The levels of dopamine in the medium had no significant difference on the first to eighth day.ConclusionThe primarily cultured pheochromocytoma cells differentiate obviously after plating,but have no significant proliferation.The levels of catecholomine in the medium are decreased significantly on the first and second day.

Objective To evaluate early and mid-term results in infants,weighing less than 2 500 g,who underwent early cardiac surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Method Since November 2003 to December 2007,28 consecutive infants of less than 2 500 g underwent early cardiac surgery on CPB in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University.Sixteen infants were male,and 12 infants were female.The mean pregnancy period was 34 weeks (30 to 41 weeks) ,and 14 patients were premature,and the mean birth weight was 2 010 g(1 370-2 500 g).Mean age at operation was 27.46 d (range 1～61 d),and mean weight was 2 391 g (range 1 500～2 500 g).Deep hypothermia circulatory arrest was used in 9.Indications for surgery were:ventricular septal defect (10 infants),transposition of great arteries (6 iofants),totally anomalous pulmonary venom return (5 infants),pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum(2 infants),coarctation of aorta (1 infants) ,interrupted aortic arch (1 infants),cortriatriatum(1 infants),abnormal original of fight pulmonary artery (1 infants).Resuits Two (7.14%) infants died after operation at early phase.Mean duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit stay were 113.9 h and 14.4 d,respectively.During follow-up (mean 16.87 months),one died.Two patients needed reintervention.About 84.4% infants didn' t need reintervention at the end of 12-month followup.Conclusions If medicine is aseless,infants woth low birth weight and congenital heart defect can obtain satisfactory outcome after CPB.Perioperative proration for virtual organs should be payed attention to.

Objective To evaluate the operative treatment of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture with in- ternal plate fixation and autogenous cancellous hone graft.Methods Forty-one cases of nonunion of humeral shaft fracture operatively treated from February 2002 to December 2004 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 32 males and nine females.Their average age was 37.5 years(range,17 to 67 years).Sixteen nonunions were defined as hypertrophic and 25 as atrophic.We followed all the patients and obtained their complete medical information. Results Our average follow-up was 22.6 months(range,8 to 42 months).Forty fractures(97.6%)were united within an average of 5.8 months(range,3 to 12 months).Complications included iatrogenic radial nerve injury in three patients,wound infection in one patient and fracture nonunion in one patient.At the final follow-up,shou]der and elbow functions were found to be satisfactory.Conclusion Open reduction and plate internal fixation sup- plemented with autogenous cancellous bone graft is an effective treatment for nonunion of humeral shaft fracture.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of CT staging for esophageal cancer. Methods A retrospective analysis of 304 patients treated,from Jan. 1996 to Dec. 1998 chiefly with radiotherapy(126 conventional radiotherapy,55-65 Gy/27-35 fx/5.5-7.0 w;178 late-course accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy ,55-60 Gy/33-36 fx/ 4.5 -5.5 w)complete with CT data before treatment was done. The long survival was compared with pre-therapy CT findings and CT staging. ResultsThe survival rate of stage T1+T2 was very significantly different from those lesion with stage T3,T4(? 2=12.90,P0.05).The survival rates of patients positive for lymph nodes or distant metastasis were lower. Conclusion CT staging is quite optimal for non-operable esophageal cancer in clinical staging,as it is conducive to predict the prognosis.

AIM: To investigate the effect of CD_8+ cells from aplastic anemia (AA) patients and its histamine type II (H_2) receptors on the growth of normal CFU-Mk. METHODS: The effects of CD_8+ cells and/or cimetidine, on normal human CFU-Mk growth were studied by using CFU-Mk assay. RESULTS: The CD_8+ cells from the perpheral blood of AA patients significantly suppressed the growth of normal allogeneic CFU-Mk. This inhibitory effect was blocked by cimetidine at concentration of 1.0?10~-5 mol/L. 1.0?10~-5 mol/L cimitidine alone didn't inhibit the growth of normal CFU-Mk. CONCLUSION: H_2 receptor antagonist cimitidine abolishes the suppressive effect of AA patients CD_8+ cells on the growth of normal CFU-Mk.
