Objective To observe the effects of endobronchial decimeter wave therapy on ventilation func-tion of patients with the constrictive endobronehial tuberculosis (EBTB). Methods Forty-four EBTB patients weredivided into an experiment group and a control group. All the patients of the two groups were treated with generalchemotherapy, the patients of experiment group accepted endobronehial decimeter wave therapy at the same time. Thepurulent secretion or caseous necrosis of the diseased region was drawn-off from the bronchi lumina by bronchoseope,then the antenna of the decimeter wave irradiator was inserted into the diseased region through the biopsy pore to per-form the radiation. The vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the 1st second and maximal voluntary ventilationwere tested before and 60 days after the operation. Results Endobronehial decimeter wave therapy significantly re-duced the constriction of bronchi, improved the lung ventilation function, and relieved the anhelation symptom of pa-tients in the experiment group to a significantly larger extent than those in the controls group (P< 0. 01 ). Moreover,the therapeutic effects of endobronchial decimeter wave therapy were more significant for the endomembrane tuberculo-sis with pulmonary closure due to ulcerous necrosis or granulation hyperplasy ( P < 0. 05 ) , but ineffective for the atro-phy due to fibrous constriction. Conclusion Endobronchial decimeter wave therapy could reduce the incidence oflung closure in endomembrane tuberculosis and improve lung function.

Fifty-six patients diagnosed as early stage lung cancer by spiral CT scan,underwent CTguided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy with a successful rate of 100%.Forty nice cases were confirmed pathologically including adenocarcinoma in 30 cases,squamous carcinoma in 14,alveolar cell carcinoma in 2 and small cell lung cancer in 3.Three cases were diagnosed as chronic inflammatory lesion,2 cases as tuberculosis and the diagnosis was not confirmed in 2 cases.The results suggest that CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic biopsy is an effective diagnostic measure for patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ lung cancer.

0.05),but the former was statistically higher than the latter from 2003-2005. Conclusions There is no obvious variation of the schistosome epidemicity at Jiangxin after resettlement but remaining arable land, while the epidemicity of Jiangzhou, after resettlement and converting cultivated land to forest or grassland, declines in some degree.

Objective To study clinical application of Bard automated disposable instrument for percutaneous transtheracic biopsy guided by CT in diagnosis of pulmonary lesions. Methods Percutaneons transthoracic biopsy was performed with CT-guided Bard automated disposable instrument for 95 patients with pulmonary lesions but without established diagnosis by clinical and imaging procedures in order to obtain pathological diagnosis. Results Tissue specimens were obtained from all the 95 patients by Bard automated disposable instrument for percutaneous transthoracis biopsy, with a hundred percent of success. After the procedure, 68 of 95 were pathologically diagnosed as lung cancer (including adenocarcinoma in 44,squamous carcinoma in 19, alveolar cell carcinoma in three and small cell carcinoma in two), 10 as chronic inflammatory lesions, eight as tuberculosis, two as inflammatory pseudotumor, one as metastatic cancer, two as fungal infection, and four without an established diagnosis, with an overall diagnosis rate of 95.8%.Pneumothorax occurred in eight and mild haemoptysis in six of 95 patients, respectively, by the procedure.Conclusion Percutaneons transthoracic biopsy with Bard automated disposable instrument is an effective diagnostic procedure for patients with pulmonary lesions but their diagnoses were not established by routine examinations.

Objective To detect the change of the anti-S. japonicum antibody level after people migrated from outside embankment to newly established town. Methods Three pilot spots were established for the investigation: one spot thut both inhabitancy and cultivation disused (A), one spot that only inhabitancy disused but farming continued (B) and the third one served as control (C). DIGFA and ELISA were used to detect the antibody level in the populations from 2002 to 2005. Results The positive rate of anti-S.japonkum antibody declined significantly from 6.63% to 3.52% by DIGFA and from 7.26% to 3.71% by ELISA at spot A (X2=5.2625, P

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between porcine epidemic diar-rhea virus(PEDV)S1 IgG antibody levels and neutralizing antibody potency in sow sera.Sera from 5 PEDV-infected farms with a clear immune background,5 non-infected farms and 5 infected farms with an unclear immune background,and sera from return-fed reserve pigs,totaling 716 copies,were collected and measured,and the correlation between PEDV S1 IgG antibodies and neutralizing antibodies was analyzed.The results showed that the PEDV S1 IgG and neutralizing antibodies of sow sera showed highly significant positive correlation,the correlation coefficient was 0.892(P＜0.000 1).Previous studies have shown that the level of PEDV neutralizing antibodies in sow serum correlates with the ability of piglets'maternal antibodies to resist PEDV infection.Therefore,the a-bility of maternal antibodies against PEDV in piglets can be evaluated by detecting PEDV S1 IgG antibodies in the serum of sows.In 10 PEDV-infected farms,the neutralizing antibodies to PEDV in the sera of sows after immunization were generally high,and the S1 IgG antibodies were also high,and their S/P values were higher than 3.5 in 66.9％of the farms(347/519),and the highest anti-body levels were found in the four farms in which PED did not occur,whereas the neutralizing an-tibodies in the immunized sows in the five PEDV-uninfected farms were generally low,and their S1 IgG antibodies were also low,and only 8.1％(13/161)having S/P values higher than 3.5.The re-sults suggest that most sows in PEDV-infected farms can provide good immunoprotection to pig-lets after immunization,while pigs in PEDV-uninfected farms need further immunization if they need to achieve a higher level of immunoprotection.The present study provides a substantial clini-cal basis for the use of PEDV S1 IgG antibody levels to assess the effectiveness of PEDV antibody protection in swine herds.

The aim of this study is to establish a simple and accurate method for vaccine immune e-valuation of porcine pseudorabies virus.In this research,PRV-gD recombinant protein was ex-pressed from mammalian cell HEK-293F as coating antigen,and then the reaction conditions of gD-iELISA were optimized according to checkerboard titration method.The gD-iELISA was used to detect the antibody levels of 211 clinical pig serum samples and the consistency with the neu-tralizing antibody levels wasanalyzed.The results showed that the antigen coating concentration was 0.90 mg/L;the serum to be detected was diluted 1∶100 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 min;goat anti-pig IgG-HRP antibody was diluted 1∶55 000 and incubated at 37 ℃ for 30 min;TMB sub-strate was developed at 37 ℃ for 20 min.The method could detect 1∶6 400 diluted PRV positive serum.The results of CSFV,PRRSV,PCV-2,PEDV and FMDV positive sera were all negative by gD-iELISA,and there was no cross-reaction between the method and the above positive sera.The coincidence rate of gD-iELISA and commercial kits was 95.26％,and the intra-and inter-batch co-efficients of variation were both less than 10％.Correlation analysis showed that the correlation coefficient(r)between gD antibody level and neutralizing antibody level was significantly greater than that of gB antibody level,and the gD antibody level had a good linear relationship with the neutralizing antibody level.The results indicated that gD-iELISA was more suitable for vaccine im-mune evaluation of PRV than gB-iELISA.Therefore,the method will have a good prospect of ap-plication in the immunization control of the PRV.
