Objective To search for the gene encoding specific antigen of Ancylostoma caninum that induces host′s protective immunity. \ Methods\ A lambda ZAPⅡ cDNA library of A.canium was screened with sera from dogs \{immunized\} subcutaneously with hookworm larvae(L3). After sequencing, insert gene (AcAg) from positive clones was \{ligated\} into PUC18 and PET28C. Recombinant pET28C plasmid was induced to expressed protein in the E.coli BL21. The \{characteristic\} of recombinant protein is analyzed by SDS\|PAGE and Western bloting assay. \ Results \ Five positive \{clones\} were obtained, and proved to be the same. The insert gene (AcAg) in pET28C vector expressed a recombinant \{protein\} of about 43 kDa. Using Western bloting assay, this protein was recognized by the sera from dog immunized with \{Ancylostoma\} caninum third\|stage infected larvae and used for screening library. \ Conclusion \ The AcAg, which \{exhibits\} 35% homologous to Caenorhabditis elegans gene unc\|89, is a novel specific antigen of A.caninum. Its ability to elicit the \{protective\} immunity and the probability of the recombinant protein as a vaccine need to be further evaluated.

28 days after injury (P < 0.05). In the fracture+spinal cord injury group, the level of serum transforming growth factor beta 1 had a rapid increase on the 7th day, and reached the peak on the 14th day, and then, this level had no significant decrease until the 28th day. In the simple fracture group, the level of serum transforming growth factor beta 1 began to increase on the 2nd day, reached the peak on the 7th day, and then decreased gradualy. Remarkable changes of serum transforming growth factor beta 1 levels in patients with bone fracture combined with spinal cord injury may be associated with fracture healing in different periods.

Objective: To summarize the short-term clinical experience of minimally invasive direct cardiac surgery (MIDCS) with right anterolateral thoracotomy incision by closed cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods: A total of 42 patients received MIDCS in our hospital from 2013-09 to 2015-05 were summarized. There were 18 male and 24 female patients including 16 with atrial septal defect (ASD) repair, 4 with ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair, 16 with mitral valve replacement (MVR), 1 with mitral valve plasty (MVP) and 5 with aortic valve replacement (AVR). Direct cardiac surgery was performed by cardiopulmonary bypass through femoral artery-vein and right jugular vein annulations. A right anterolateral thoracotomy incision (length 3-5 cm) was made to enter the chest and complete the operation. Results: All 42 patients received successful operation, no peri-operative or early post-operative death, no incision infection occurred. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was [98-142 (122.4 ± 23.7) min], aortic cross-clamp time [0-118 (48.3 ± 26.2) min]. Post-operative mechanical ventilation time was [8-76 (17.4±13.1) h], intensive care unit stay time [45-124, (54.6 ± 32.6) h], hospital stay time [6-12, (8.2 ± 1.3) d]. Incision length was [3-7, (4.8 ± 1.5) cm], the draining volume at the 1st post-operative day was (356.9 ± 283.8) ml and there were 27 (64.3%) patients without transfusion. Conclusion: The short-term outcomes for MIDCS were good, it with superior safety, broad application range with minimal invasion and less complication.

BACKGROUND:The method in repair of primary lumbar intervertebral infection is different in different positions, mainly containing anterior, posterior and anteroposterior pathways. In posterior pathway, muscle gap approach is recognized by many fel ows. This program has its special advantage compared with conventional posteromedial approach. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the clinical effects of debridement, bone graft and internal fixation of pedicle screw placement in repair of primary lumbar intervertebral infection through posterior paraspinal muscle approach. METHODS:Clinical data of 13 patients with primary lumbar intervertebral infection were analyzed retrospectively. There were one case of L 2-L 3 , two cases of L 3-L 4 , four cases of L 4-L 5 and six cases of L 5-S 1 . Lumbar pain was obvious in al patients. Nine cases suffered from radioactive lower limb pain. Al patients received debridement, bone graft and internal fixation of pedicle screw placement through paraspinal muscle approach via posteromedial incision. After treatment, clinical effects were evaluated using Visual Analog Scale and lumbar Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al patients were fol owed up for 12-18 months, no recurrence. X-ray review demonstrated bony fusion, so loosening and breakage were not found in al patients. Visual Analog Scale scores revealed that Visual Analog Scale score was 8.15 preoperatively, 2.15 at 1 week postoperatively, 1 at final fol ow-up, showing significant difference (P<0.05). There was significant difference in pain between pre-treatment and post-treatment, and pain apparently relieved after treatment. Lumbar Japanese Orthopaedic Association score showed that effective outcomes were found in al patients after treatment, including nine cases of excel ent effects, three cases of good effects, one case of average effects, with the excel ent and good rate of 92%. Above findings confirmed that one-stage debridement, bone graft and internal fixation of pedicle screw placement through posterior muscle gap approach provides a good repair method for patients with primary lumbar intervertebral infection. It can achieve intervertebral space directly through intervertebral foramen, retain the central spinous process and lamina, reduce the injury to paraspinal muscle, and keep spinal ligament complex. However, strong spine fixation contributes to bone fusion, and keeps the stability of the spine after repair.
