Objective To investigate the value of differential diagnosis of the configuration of QRS complex in lead aVR in patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction. Methods The configuration of QRS in 52 patients with pathological Q-wave both in lead Ⅲ and aVF were analyzed and the result of selective coronary arteriography was compared. Results 13 patients with the configuration of QRS in lead aVR appeared rS ( s), while 10 patients appeared QS(qs) and 29 Q(q)r,correlated with 12,4 and 0 patients with coronary arteriography showed stenosis or occlusion lesion in fight coronary artery or left circumflex artery (χ2 = 35.56, P = 0.000). Conclusions The con-figuration of QRS in lead aVR is helpful to differential diagnosis of the patients with pathological Q-wave both in lead Ⅲ and aVF. Patients with the configuration of QRS in lead aVR appear rS(s) could be diagnosed as old myocardial infarction,but excluded from old myocardial infarction while appearing Q(q)r.

Background Chemical crosslinking agent can be used to strengthen the intensity of sclera tissue,but the intensity of the sclera may be influenced by different crosslinking methods.Objective The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of collagen crosslinking on porcine sclera between whole-eye crosslinking method and scleral strip crosslinking method.Methods Whole-eye crosslinking or sclera strip crosslinking was performed on 70 fresh porcine eyeballs in five groups using 1％ genipin,1％ glutaraldehyde or PBS respectively for 40 minutes.After crosslinking,10 sclera strips with l0 mm×4 mm from the temporal lateral were prepared in every group for the stress-strain measurement using a Instron5848 microtester,and the other 4 scleral strips in each group were extracted for the thermal shrinkage temperature test.Results Biomechanical property test reveled that the elastic modulus value of sclera strips reduced by 70.0％-82.8％ in the whole-eye crosslinking method group compared with scleral stip crosslinking method group after treated with 1％ genipin ((8.98 ± 1.81) MPa vs.(10.85 ± 1.83) MPa,t =3.375,P =0.003)) and 1％ glutaraldehyde((12.78 ±2.91) MPa vs.(18.25 ±5.16) MPa,t =4.007,P =0.001)) ;The tensile stress of whole-eye crosslinking method group was 54.9％-90.1％ of scleral stips method group,showing significant decline after corsslinked of whole-eye in 5％,10％,15％ and 20％ strain conditions (all P ＜ 0.05).Thermomechanics test showed that the thermal shrinkage temperature was lower in the whole-eye crosslinking group compared with scleral stip crosslinking group after treated with both 1％ genipin ((68.8 ±0.9)℃ vs.(74.8± 1.3)℃,t=11.129,P=0.000)) and 1％ glutaraldehyde((73.3±0.9)℃ vs.(79.3±1.3)℃,t=11.112,P=0.000)).Conclusions Different crosslinking methods have an influence on the efficacy of collagen crosslinking on porcine sclera.Sclera strip crosslinking offers a better crosslinking intensity for selera.

Objective To explore possible associations between host polymorphism of HLA classⅡgenotypes and advanced hepatosplenic schistosomiasis japonica.Methods 45 advanced schistosomiasis patients(experimental group) and 44 age,and sex,matched patients with chronic schistosomiasis(control group) from the same area were investigated for their HLA class II gene DRB genotypes by genotyping the alleles using microarray DNA chip.The correlation of allele frequencies to advanced hepatosplenic schistosomiasis was compared for the two groups.Results HLA,DRB1*04x exhibited markedly higher frequency in advanced patients than that in control group(P

A cellulase high-yield strain was identified and named as Trichoderma longibrachiatum SSL by ITS sequence identification. The endoglucanase1 gene (eg1) encoding endo-l,4-?-D-glucanase I was ampli-fied by RT-PCR method, which including 1386 bp and encoding 461 amino acid. Sequence analysis showed that: This gene has a more 90% homology with the T. longibrachiatum eg1 gene. The eg1 gene encoding the mature peptide was inserted into the Pichia pastoris expression vector pPIC9K, which resulted in construc-tion of the recombinant expression plasmid, pPIC9k-eg1. The pPIC9k-eg1 was then introduced into the host Pichia pastoris GS115. After the induction of methanol, extracellular recombinant endoglucanase I from the supernatant of the recombinant Pichia pastoris strain reached 73 U/mL. A clear strengthening of the protein bands, whose molecular weight is about 58 kD, appeared in the SDS-PAGE.

AIM:The bacillus calmette-guerin(BCG) vaccine is the most widely used Th1-inducing vaccine.In recent years,some studies argued that mycobacterium vaccae can be used as adjuvant to induce regulatory T cells(Treg) and then suppress asthmatic airway inflammation.We previously have engineered recombined BCG that expressed Der p2 of house dust mites(Der p2 rBCG) on the cell wall.The aim of this study is to investigate the immune regulatory mechanisms of Der p2 rBCG.METHODS:Mice were vaccined with PS,BCG or rBCG.The relative proportion and the absolute numbers of related Tregs in spleen cells were analyzed.The suppressive activity of Der p2 rBCG-induced CD4+CD25+ T cells was detected both in vitro and in vivo.RESULTS:(1) Der p2 rBCG induced a CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cell subtype.(2) Der p2 rBCG-induced CD4+CD25+ T cells suppressed the proliferation of Th2 effector cells in vitro in an antigen-specific way.(3) Der p2 rBCG-induced CD4+CD25+ T cells mediated Der p2 specific suppression of airway allergy in vivo.CONCLUSION:Der p2 rBCG induces a CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cell subtype,which suppresses inflammation in allergic airway in a mouse model.

Objective To explore the gene expression of interleukin-13 receptor (IL-13R)?2 and its relationship to proliferation activity of human gliomas.Methods The gene expression of IL-13R?in 50 hu- man gliomas,2 malignant human glioma cell lines and 6 normal brain tissues were studied by RT-PCR.Ki-67 labeling index (Ki267 LI) of all sample were detecteded by immunohistochemical staining.Results Only one normal brain tissues expressed very low IL-13R?2 mRNA,whereas 35 (70%) of 50 human brain tumors expressed 1L-13R?2 mRNA.The positive rate and expression level of IL-13R?2 mRNA were increased with the ascending of WHO tumor grade.(former:rs=0.87;letter:rs=0.69,P＜0.01).The difference of posi- tive rate and expression level of IL-13R 2?mRNA between the low grade and high grade tumors was statistical- ly significant,the proliferation activity of gliomas evaluated by Ki-67LI (Ki-67 Labeling Index,Ki-67LI) was positively correlated with IL-13R?2 gene expression and the tumor grade.Conclusion In human cerebral gliomas,IL-13R?2 genes may play an role in the malignant progression.The expression level of malignancy in molecular level and selecting the target of gene therapy.
