1.Expression purification and verification of HBscFv-IFNgamma in Pichia pastoris x33.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2008;24(3):423-429
In order to effectively cure hepatitis B virus (HBV), we studied on fusion protein HBscFv-IFNgamma, which was connected with single-chain Fv against HBV surface antigen(HBscFv) and gamma-interferon(IFNgamma) of being used in clinic against HBV. Adopting overlap PCR, the hbscfv and the ifngamma were connected into hbscfv-ifngamma. Then the pPICZalphaA/(hbscfv-ifngamma)(1,2,4) of multi-copy recombinant plasmid were constructed and transformed into Pichia pastoris x33. The engineering strain x4 was screened from transformed x33 and could secretively express HBscFv-IFNgamma. The preliminary verification indicates that HBscFv-IFNgamma has the bioactivity of HBscFv and IFNgamma by SDS-PAGE, Western blotting and ELISA. The supernatant of culturing X4 was purified by 14F7 affinity chromatography to HBscFv-IFNgamma with purity of 95%-98%. The HBscFv-IFNgamma is able to bind 27.9% HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) in the serum of HBV transgenic mice, which shows the antibody of HBscFv-IFNgamma has bioactivity in vivo. Therefore HBscFv-IFNgamma can shed light on the development of a new promising HBV-targeted drug.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy (PELD) with the aid of neurophysiological monitoring under general anesthesia.Methods:From August 2016 to October 2019, 58 patients underwent PELD under general anesthesia were selected in our hospital; 30 were via transformational approach and 28 were via interlaminar approach. The whole operative procedures were performed under continuous monitoring of spontaneous electromyography (SEMG), and the peak value, waveform and motor unit of SEMG at the surgical side were observed. The clinical outcomes were evaluated by visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI).Results:PELD was successfully performed in all 58 patients. Abnormal SEMG reactions were recorded in 8 patients (13.8%), manifested as clustered or frequent high amplitude action potentials; 5 patients (16.7%, 5/30) were via transformational approach and 3 (10.7%, 3/28) were via interlaminar approach. Two patients relapsed at 3 and 6 weeks after surgery, respectively; one was treated with PELD again and the other one was treated with lumbar fusion and instrument fixation. The pain at the lumbago and leg was alleviated obviously after surgery in the 56 patients; the VAS scores were 7.43±1.32, 2.55±0.87 and 1.59±0.87 before surgery, and 3 d and 3 months after surgery, respectively, with significant differences ( P<0.05); the mean ODI before surgery and 3 months after surgery were 67.36±7.13 and 12.39±5.48, respectively, with significant difference ( P <0.05). Conclusion:PELD with the aid of neurophysiological monitoring under general anesthesia is safe and reliable, which can achieve good clinical efficacy.
