Objective To investigate the boosting efficiency of a subunit vaccine consisting of the fusion protein Ag85B-Mpt64190-198-Mth8.4 (AMM) , dimethyl-dioctyldecyl ammonium bromide (DDA) and BCG polysaceharide nucleic acid (BCG-PSN) on the primed inoculation with BCG. Methods The AMM subunit vaccine was composed of fusion protein AMM, adjuvant DDA and BCG-PSN. The first mouse experi-mental group was immunized with BCG first, then boosted with the AMM subanit vaccine in the 10th week. The second experimental group was boosted with the AMM subunit vaccine in the 8th week and the 10th week respectively with a two weeks interval after the primed with BCG. Two control groups were treated re-spectively with physiological saline alone and BCG alone. After the primed inoculation, ELISPOT and ELISA were used for the detection of the cell-mediated and humoral immune response in week 14 and week 22 re-spectively. Furthermore, the immunized mice were challenged with live BCG to mimic tuberculosis infection in the 22nd week after the primed inoculation. Subsequently the T cell typing and humoral response were de-tected by flow cytometry and ELISA, respectively. Results ( 1 ) The level of secreting IFN-γ: 14 weeks af-ter the primed inoculation,with the stimulation of the specific antigen-Ag85B, the number of cells secreting IFN-γ in the second experimental group (135±14) was more than BCG alone immunized group (19±16), t = 10. 98, P < 0.01. In the 22nd week, the number of cells secreting IFN-γ in the second experimental group (208±11) was still more than BCG alone group (57±18), t =6.43, P <0.01. (2) The level of humoral immune response: the IgG1 antibody titer in the second experimental group was obviously higher than that in the first experimental group. However, the ratio of IgG2a to IgG1, as the index reflecting the Thl-type immune response, in the experimental group 2 was lower than that in the experimental group 1. (3) The contents of CD4+ CD25+ T cells after challenged with live BCG strain: the first and the second ex-perimental groups were both higher than the BCG alone group (t1 = 3.08, t2 = 3.16, P < 0.05 ). Conclu-sion Boosting the BCG-pfimed mice with tuberculosis AMM subunit vaccine twice can induce higher level of cell-mediated and humoral immune response than BCG alone, which could activate the regulative immune response at the same time.

BACKGROUND: At present, there are many ways to treat acromioclavicular joint dislocation, mainly based on clavicular hook plate, but the anatomical reconstruction of the trapezoid ligament and conoid ligament of the acromioclavicular ligament is the most important trend in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. Endobutton plate has been widely promoted in recent years. A large number of randomized controlled trials and retrospective study showed that it has better efficacy and lower incidence of complications compared with the clavicular hook plate. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the excellent and good rate and the short-term incidence of complication between Endobutton plate and clavicular hook plate in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. METHODS: The Cochrane Library (1966-06/2017-05), PubMed (1966-06/2017-05), MEDLINE (1966-02/2017-05), EMbase (1984-01/2017-05), CNKI (1979-01/2017-05), VIP (1989-01/2017-05), and Wanfang (1982-01/2017-05) databases were searched by computer. Simultaneously, six major Chinese orthopedic journals were retrieved by hand, and the references included in the related articles were consulted. Randomized controlled trials addressing Endobutton plates and clavicular hook plates for the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation were collected. The literatures were screened for inclusion criteria, and their qualities were evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 13 randomized controlled trials containing 800 patients were included in the study. 394 patients were treated with Endobutton plate and 406 patients with clavicular hook plate as controls. Among which, only one study was compared in three different ways; the rest were compared between Endobutton plate and clavicular hook plate. (2) Meta-analysis showed that the excellent and good rate of Endobutton plate was superior to that of clavicular hook plate in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation (P < 0.000 01). Compared with clavicular hook plate, the incidence of incision infection, acromioclavicular joint pain, limited activity and redislocation were lower in Endobutton plate (P=0.02, < 0.001, < 0.00001, 0.03). (3) These findings suggested that the effect of Endobutton plate was better than that of clavicular hook plate in the treatment of acromioclavicular joint dislocation. The incidences of incision infection, acromioclavicular joint pain, limited mobility, and redislocation were lower in Endobutton plate than in the clavicular hook plate. Although the article included many randomized controlled trials, the qualities of these articles are limited. We still need to design more strictly large-sample randomized controlled trials to increase the credibility of the evidence.

Objective:To evaluate the value of DWI with background suppression (DWIBS) in evaluating the injury of the low limb nerves in patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS).Methods:The clinical and imaging data of 30 patients with GBS and 30 healthy volunteers matched with their age and gender in Zibo Central Hospital from January 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients received lower limb nerve electrophysiological examination and all subjects received lower limb nerve DWIBS examination one week later. The display of tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve after DWIBS image reconstruction in normal volunteers and GBS patients was scored by two senior radiologists. Kappa consistency test was used to analyze the consistency of the two senior radiologists′ scores. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV) and motor nerve conduction amplitudes of tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve in patients with GBS among different DWIBS scores. Spearman correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between DWIBS tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve scores and electrophysiological parameters in patients with GBS.Results:In the DWIBS images of 30 healthy volunteers, 60 tibial nerves and common peroneal nerves showed clear, sharp edges, good signal intensity, uniformity, and the scores were 4. The consistency between the two radiologists was good (Kappa value=1.0). In the 60 tibial nerves and common peroneal nerves of 30 GBS patients, 53 tibial nerves and 52 common peroneal nerves showed abnormal changes in varying degrees, including blurred edges, distortions, difficulty in recognition, and weakened signal strength, etc. The consistency between the two readers was good (Kappa value=0.879,0.863,respectively.).With the decrease of DWIBS score, the MCV and motor nerve conduction amplitude values of tibial nerves and common peroneal nervesin GBS patients decreased, and the differences between the score groups were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The scores of tibial nerves and common peroneal nerves in DWIBS were positively correlated with MCV ( r=0.83, 0.84, respectively, P<0.05) and motor nerve conduction amplitude ( r=0.81, 0.79, respectively, P<0.05). Conclusion:DWIBS could provide a three dimensional visualization of tibial nerves and common peroneal nerves, and evaluate the disorders of peripheral nerves in patients with GBS. There has correlation between the scores of tibial nerves and common peroneal nerves in DWIBS with electrophysiology parameters.

Objective To study the identification of the endoscopic anatomical landmarks in the unilateral endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach, and discuss the verification of the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus and expansion of the bone exposure of the sellar region according to different growth patterns of the selhr tumors. Methods Ten formalin-fixed adult cadaveric heads and 5 fresh cadaveric heads wefe perfused with red silicone through the internal carotid artery.and blue glass cement was perfused through the internal jugular vein.The endoscope Was introduced through the unilateral nasal cavity, and the contralateral nasal cavity was fully exposed by removing the superficial nasofacial structures for observation and measurement. Results The distance from the phatyngopalatine arch to the inferior edge of the sphenoidal ostium Was 15.13±1.99 mm,and that from the inferior edge of the posterior middle turbinate to the center of the sellar floor Was 10.20±0.15 mm.The content of the sphenoid sinus Was 8.73±2.90 mL after removal ofthe compartment of the sphenoid sinus,with the sellar floor thickness of 3.68±1.96 mm.The angles between the nasal septurn and the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus varied significantly on different planes(P<0.05).Conclusion When difficult to locate the sphenoidal ostium,the opening site can be determined by observing the peculiar oval protuberance on the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus.the relationship between the anterior wall of the sphenoid sinus and the middle turbinate,and the average distance from the superior limit of the pharyngopalatine arch to the sphenoidal ostiam.The voger on the midline position can be used as the landmark of the midline of the sellar floor.When the tumor has an extrasellar portion,as in the planum sphenoidale,the modified enlarged approach can be the choice.
