Objective To construct a hexon-chimeric human adenovirus type 3 ( HAd3 ) vector expressing two neutralizing epitopes of hepatitis B surface antigen preS 1 (HBsAg-preS1) and to analyze the antigenicity of the chimeric epitopes .Methods Two neutralizing epitopes of HBsAg-preS1 including KR359 and KR127 were inserted into hypervariable region 1 ( HVR1) and hypervariable region 2 ( HVR2) of HAd3 hexon .Chimeric hexon gene encoding the two epitopes was amplified by overlap PCR and then subcloned in -to shuttle plasmid pBR322-L/R containing the homologous recombination regions .The digested shuttle plas-mid containing chimeric hexon gene was co-transfected into Escherichia coli BJ5183 cells together with back-bone plasmid pBRAdΔE3GFP to construct pBRAdΔE3GFP-preS1 vector.Then pBRAdΔE3GFP-preS1 vector was digested with AsiSⅠand transfected into AD293 cells to construct recombinant virus (rAD3E-preS1). CsCl gradient centrifugation was used for purification .Glutathione S-transferase ( GST ) fusion protein KR359KR127 ( GST-KR359KR127 ) was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 by using expression vector pGEX-4T3.Female BALB/c mice at age 6-8 weeks were intraperitoneally injected with 1010 virus particles or 80 μg GST fusion protein .Serum samples were collected to analyze the antigenicity of two epitopes by ELISA and Western blot .Results ELISA showed that KR 359 and KR127 were successfully exposed on viral sur-faces by using hexon-chimeric HAd3 vector .The induced polyclonal antibodies in serum samples could rec-ognize GST fusion protein and native HBsAg from patients infected with hepatitis B virus .Conclusion The antigen capsid-incorporation strategy could be used to display epitopes on viral surface .Enhanced antigen-specific responses could be achieved through inserting multiple foreign epitopes into hexon HVRs .This study provided evidence for further application of hexon -chimeric human adenovirus type 3 vector in the developmentof vaccine, especially for the development of multivalent hepatitis B vaccine .

Objective To assess the clinical and radiologic outcomes between laminoplasty with forominotomy(LF) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF) in treating cervical radiculomyelopathy(CRM). Methods Datas of 68 patients (ACDF=33, LF=35) from January 2008 to January 2010 was collected retrospectively, the follow-up is at least 2 years. The Japa-nese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and associated recovery rate were evaluated. For radiographic evaluation, the lordotic an-gle and range of motion (ROM) at C2-C7 were investigated. The Neck Disabilitv Index Scale(NDI) was used to evaluate the degree of patient’pain at the last follow-up. Results Patients’demographics were similar between the two groups. The differences be-tween ACDF and LF in operative time (187min VS 154min),the blood loss (127 ml VS 235 ml) and the sensation of lower extremity (64.0%VS 66.0%) are significant(t=4.170, P=0.000;Z=-6.888, P=0.000;Z=-7.512, P=0.000). 1 case with failed fusion of bone graft 3 months post-operation. 3 cases of adjacent segment degenerative changes occurred at the 2nd year follow-up in ACDF group. But no such complications occurred in the EOLF group. In addition, ACDF group showed lower NDI score than LF group in extracting and amusing (Z=-3.947, P=0.000;t=-7. 523, P=0.000). Cervical lordosis of ACDF increased from 13.7° to 16.2°, while that of LF group decreased from 14.6° to 13.3°(Z=-3.374,P=0.001);Both of the two groups (ACDF/LF) exhibited decreased cervi-cal ROM (14.8° VS 16.5°, t=-2.167, P=0.034). Conclusion The two surgical procedures have similar clinical effects in treating multi-segmental CRM. However, the LF group demonstrated shorter operative time, fewer short-term complications, so it proved to be effective and safe surgical procedure.

Objective To determine the activities of 131I for treating differentiated thyroid carcinoma with diffuse pulmonary metastases ( DTC-DPM ) from the perspective of internal radiation dosimetry.Methods According to Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry (MIRD) schema, the activity constraint,from which the whole bdy retention at 48 h should not exceed 2.96 GBq (2.96 GBq rule), was converted to dose-rate constraint(DRC) to lungs at 48 h ( DRCLU ·48 h ) in 131I therapy for DTC-DPM. Based on the assumption of DRCLU·48 h at 48 h in lung, the fractions of whole body activities ( F48 ), the effective half times of 131I in lungs ( TLL ) and the remainder of body ( TRB ) were 0.6-0.9, 20- 120 h, and 10- 20 h, respectively. The maximum safe activities of 131I for different human phantoms from the Organ Level Internal Dose Assessment (OLINDA) software were calculated. Results According to MIRD schema and 2.96 GBq rule, DRCLU ·48 h should not exceed 46.4 mGy/h in 131I therapy for DTC-DPM. Depending on varying F48 h,TLL and TRB, the maximum safe activities of 131I were 6.77-81.36, 5.29-56.20, 5.08-55.19 and 3.87-40. 52 GBq for the male adult, female adult, 15-year-old, and 10-year-old patients with DTC-DPM, respec tively. Conclusion Dosimetry-guided 131I therapy for DTC-DPM considers adequately the differences of 131I kinetics in individual patients and can adjust administered activities of 131I on the precondition of avoiding radiological pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis.

For patients with DTC,the side effect of 131I therapy on fertility and offspring is an important issue since genital tissues are highly sensitive to radiation.Exposure to 131 I radiation may result in transient impairment of gonadal function in male patients caused by elevated levels of serum follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone,low sperm count and motility.In female patients,exposure to 131I radiation may be complicated with delay of menstruation,oligomenorrhea and transient cessation of menstrual period.Most of these symptoms may resolve within one year after 131 I therapy.A slightly earlier menopause is the only reported long-term side effect of 131I therapy on ovarian function.Currently available data do not indicate that exposure to 131I may cause permanent infertility in male patients with DTC.For female patients with DTC,131 I therapy does not affect fertility or pregnancy outcomes beyond one year.
