Objective:To prepare the egg yolk immunoglobulin Y ( IgY) against human Sucrase and study its stability,in vitro activity. Methods:Hy-line laying hens were immunized with human Sucrase protein,IgY was isolated and purified from egg yolks of im-munized hens using water dilution and salting out method. Indirect ELISA was used to evaluate the titer and stability of IgY. The purity and specificity of IgY were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot respectively. The inhibitory effects of IgY on α-glucosidase was studied by PNPG method. Results:Indirect ELISA results showed IgY could be detected on the tenth day after the first immunization, and the peak titer of IgY was 1:12 800 after the 40th day of immunization. SDS-PAGE showed that the heavy chain and light chain of IgY were 65 kD and 25 kD respectively, and the IgY against human Sucrase could specifically recognize the protein of human Sucrase. The IgY maintained primary titer when it was kept between 29-69℃ for 15 min,and pH 4-7,37℃,4 h. The titer of IgY was maintained 50% after digestion by pepsin and trypsin respectively for 2 hours. IgY had a higher resistence to pepsin than trypsin after longer digestion time. IgY showed an inhibitory effect on α-glucosidase in concentration dependent manner. The half inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 0. 540 mg/ml. Conclusion:The IgY against human Sucrase has been successfully obtained,which established foundations for its study of Type 2 diabetes mellitus rat models in vivo.

AIM: To investigate whether a pathological micro-environmental culture system consisting of cholestatic sera induces embryonic stem cells (ESC) to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro, and select hepatic stem cells from differentiating embryonic stem cells. METHODS: Mouse ESC, E14 cell line, were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 106 U/L recombinant mouse leukemia inhibitory factor (rmLIF) and 10% FCS. After embryonic bodies formed by the hanging drop culture method, they were exposed to fibroblast growth factor-4 (FGF-4) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) for one week, and then placed to a pathological micro-environmental culture system consisting of 5% cholestatic sera and cultured for 2 weeks. Morphological examination, immunocytochemical staining of albumin and CK8/18 were carried out, and mRNA level of albumin and transthyretin were detected by RT-PCR. Glycogen storage and urea synthesis of the cells were tested with PAS staining and colorimetric assay, respectively. RESULTS: The proliferation of cells was inhibited at the early stage when cultured in a pathological micro-environmental culture system consisting of 5% cholestatic sera, but 2 weeks later, a large number of epithelial-like cell colonies were observed, which exhibited hepatocellular phenotype, expressing albumin and CK8/18, transcribing mRNA of albumin and transthyretin and synthesizing glycogen and urea. CONCLUSION: A pathological micro- environmental culture system consisting of 5% cholestatic sera could not only induce embryonic stem cells to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells, but select hepatic stem cells from differentiating embryonic stem cells initially induced by FGF-4 and HGF in vitro as well.

Objective To investigate the pathogen distribution and drug resistance of gram-negative bacteria causing lower respiratory tract infections in patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( AECOPD) .Methods A total of 742 sputum samples were collected from AECOPD patients with lower respiratory tract infections in Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province during January 2013 and December 2014.Vitek 2 Compact system combined with disk diffusion was used for strains identification and drug susceptibility test.Modified Hodge test and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) synergic test were used to screen carbapenem-resistant strains.Statistical analysis was performed using WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 20.0 software.Results A total of 593 strains of gram-negative bacteria were isolated , in which 367 strains were nonfermentative bacteria (61.89%), 220 strains were enterobacteriaceae (37.10%), and the rest 6 strains ( 1.01%) were other gram-negative bacteria.Acinetobacter baumannii ( 186 strains ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99 strains), Stenotrophomonas maltophilia (33 strains) and Burkholderia cepacia (22 strains ) were top 4 nonfermentative bacteria , and they all showed high resistance to ampicillin , ampicillin/sulbactam, cefazolin, ceftriaxone, cefotetan and nitrofurantoin with resistant rates of 67.20%-100.00%. Drug resistance rates to other β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, aminoglycoside, compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline were significantly higher in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains than those in non-carbapenem-resistant strains , and the differences were statistically significant (P <0.05 or <0.01).Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Burkholderia cepacia strains were only sensitive to levofloxacin , compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline . Klebsiella pneumonia (89 strains), Escherichia coli (80 strains) and Enterobacter cloacae (25 strains) were top 3 enterobacteriaceae , which were almost completely resistant to ampicillin , but were sensitive to piperacillin/tazobactam , cefoperazone/sulbactam , amikacin and carbapenems ( with resistant rates <15%) .More than 50%strains of extended spectrum β-lactamases ( ESBLs )-producing Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli were moderately or highly resistant to ampicillin/sulbactam , most cephalosporins ( except cefotetan and cefoperazone/sulbactam ), gentamycin, tobramycin, fluoroquinolones, aztreonam, compound sulfamethoxazole and minocycline , and the resistant rates were higher than those in non-ESBLs-producing strains (P <0.05 or <0.01).Conclusions Nonfermentative bacteria and enterobacteriaceae are the most prevalent gram-negative bacterial pathogens in lower respiratory tract infections in patients with AECOPD . Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains, as well as ESBLs-producing Klebsiella pneumonia and Escherichia coli strains are highly resistant to most antibacterial agents .

BACKGROUND:Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures in older adults. The surgical treatment methods include artificial joint replacement (total hip and femoral head replacement) and internal fixation (proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw), but there is no clear evidence to evaluate the effect of them. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect difference of arthroplasty and internal fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly people. METHODS:We retrieved randomized controled studies on artificial joint replacement (total hip and femoral head replacement) and internal fixation (proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and dynamic hip screw) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture from 1990 to 2015. Meta-analysis was used to compare operation time, intraoperative bleeding volume, one-year postoperative Harris hip scores, and one-year postoperative complication between the arthroplasty and internal fixation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Twenty-one studies were included. (2) Intraoperative bleeding volume and one-year postoperative Harris hip scores were higher in the arthroplasty group than in the internal fixation group. (3) Operation time was similar between the arthroplasty and internal fixation groups. (4) Complication rate was lower in the arthroplasty group than in the internal fixation group. Incidence of complications was closed between the arthroplasty and internal fixation groups. (5) Results suggested that the effect of arthroplasty was better than internal fixation for treating intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. However, prospective large-sample long-term randomized controled trials are needed for verification.

Objective To evaluate the impact of respiratory motion for dose of target and organ at risk during external-beam partial breast irradiation (EB-PBI).Methods 4D-CT scan sets were acquired for 20 patients who underwent EB-PBI.The volume of the tumour bed (TB) was determined based on seroma or surgical clips on the ten sets of 4D-CT images.For each patient a conventional 3D conformal plan (3D-CRT) was generated based on the 4D-CT end inhalation phase images,then copied and applied to the other phases.The following parameters were calculated to analyse:mean dose (D),homogeneity index (HI),conformal index (CI),and the volumes that received ≥ x Gy (Vx).Results During free breathing,the TB centroid motion was 0.90,0.75 and 0.80 mm in the lateral,anteroposterior and superior-inferior directions,respectively.The medium spatial motion vector was 0.95 mm.In the superiorinferior direction,TB motion significantly correlated with D HI,and CI of PTV (r =-0.458,-0.451 and 0.462,P ＜ 0.05),as well as D V20 and V30 received by the ipsilateral normal breast (r=0.527,0.488 and0.526,P ＜0.05).And in the motion vector,the D V5,V10,V20 of the ipsilateral lung all correlated with TB motion (r =0.416,0.503,0.522 and 0.498,P ＜ 0.05).A correlation also existed between dose and percent volume of heart and volume variation of heart (Dmean,V5 and V10) (r =0.727,0.704 and 0.695,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Small TB motion caused by respiratory motion during free breathing result in dosimetric variation of the target and potential dosimetric off-target or suboptimal dose coverage for EB-PBI.The doses of lung during free breathing were relatively sensitive to TB motion and thorax expansion,while heart doses were not influenced notably.

Objective To explore the effect of motivational interviewing in caring type 2 diabetic patients with gastric bypass. Methods Eighteen type 2 diabetes patients from June 2012 to November 2012 were assigned in the control group and another 20 patients during December to May 2013 in the intervention group. The control group received the traditional nursing, while the intervention group received motivational interviewing. The two groups were compared in terms of anxiety, self-management ability and blood glucose. Result The follow-up 3 months after intervention showed the intervention group was significantly better than the control group in terms of anxiety, self-management ability and blood glucose (P<0.05). Conclusion The motivational interviewing can improve psychological state and self-management skill of patients so that recovery process is facilitated.
