4.Research of correlative factors between the ultrasonography of trauma-caused deep venous free-floating ;thrombus of lower limbs and the prognosis
Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2015;(6):496-499
Objective To analyze the color Doppler ultrasonography of trauma-caused deep venous free-floating thrombus(FFT)of lower limbs,discuss the relations between sonography and the prognosis. Methods Clinical data and color Doppler ultrasound examination results of 130 cases with trauma-caused deep venous FFT of lower limbs were retrospectively analysed.Univariate analysis was conducted to identify the statistically significant factors of patients' prognosis,non-conditional logistic regression analysis was performed to analyse the independent prognostic factors of FFT.Results The non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that the position of FFT,thrombosis edge definition,floating degree and the volume of detouring blood around the thrombus were independent factors of patients'prognosis(P <0.05). The FFT prognosis of iliofemoral vein was more likely to be fixed than the FFT prognosis of popliteal vein. The FFT prognosis with blurring edges was more likely to be fixed.The more obvious the floating degree of FFT,the higher chance that the FFT prognosis is recanalized.More detouring blood flow around FFT indicated more possibilities that the prognosis could be recanalized.Conclusions The color Doppler ultrasound is able to evaluate the relations between the deep venous free-floating thrombus of lower limbs and prognosis of the patients,which is beneficial for early detection and early treatment,as well as reducing mortality and disability resulted from deep venous thrombus during the orthopaedic perioperative period.

Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases 2000;0(02):-
Objective To construct an X-gene defect and IFN gene contained HBV expression plasmid and explore its expression effect in HepG2 cell line. Methods By employing pBR322-B-HBV plasmid which contained type adrⅠHBV DNA, we destroyed HBV X-gene by inserting mutation and connected the defect HBV with IFN sequence. After recombination, it was introduced into a mammalian plasmid and was constructed as the objective plasmid. At the same time, two control groups were constructed. One was pcDNA3-ES-HBV2, which contained the full length of HBV DNA. The other was pcDNA3-KN-F1F2, which contained the X-gene defect HBV DNA. Then we transfected HepG2 cells with all the plasmid. After the cells were screened by G418, the X-gene defect and IFN gene contained HBV(KN-F1F2-IFN) and IFN protein from culture medium were detected by fluorescence- quantitative-PCR and ELISA respectively. Results pcDNA3-KN-F1F2-IFN, as the objective plasmid, was constructed successfully; contrary with the control virus, the amounts of both HBV and HBsAg were lower; both IFN mRNA and IFN protein were detected.Conclusions An X-gene defect and IFN gene contained HBV expression plasmid was constructed successfully and it can be expressed in HepG2 cell line.

Objective To explore the effect of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) decoy oligode-oxynucleotides (ODN) on respiratory function and expressions of IL-1β and IL-13 in serum following se-vere lung contusion in rabbits. Methods A total of 40 New-Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups, ie, severe lung contusion group (Group A, n=12), severe lung contusion with NF-κB scrambled decoy ODN intervention group (Group B, n=12), severe lung contusion with sense NF- B de-coy ODN intervention group (Group C, n=12) and normal control group (Group D, n =4). After the contusion model was set up, the sense and scrambled NF-κB decoy ODN were infused into the rabbits via the jugular veins in different groups, with 20 g per experimental rabbit. After contusion, respiratory fre-quency, tidal volume, airway pressure, respiration flow rate curve and end expiration nitric oxide concen-tration were detected at 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours. The expressions of IL-1β and IL-13 in serum were observed by means of ELISA. Results After sense NF-κB decoy ODN intervention, alveolar ventilation, arteri-al PO_2 and pulmonary compliance were improved, compared with Group A and Group B, with statistical difference (P<0.01). The expression of IL-1β was decreased and that of IL-13 increased after sense NF-κB decoy ODN intervention to the severe lung contusion, compared with Groups A and B, with statis-tical difference (P <0.01). The expression of IL-1β was increased to peak level at 1 hour after contu-sion, which continued to the end of the experiment. While expression of IL-13 was decreased at 1 hour af-ter contusion and reached the minimum level at 4 hours. With intervention with sense decoy ODN, the in-creased expression of IL-1β was down-regulated, but expression of IL-13 remained at high level, with sta-tistical difference compared with Group A and Group B (P < 0.01). Conclusions Intervention with sense NF-κB decoy ODN can significantly protect the respiratory function, reduce the expression of IL-1β and increase expression of IL-13 after severe lung contusion.
