To screen and identify the mimotopes for lipopolysaccharide(LPS) epitope, a rand om phage displayed dodecapeptide library was screened with a monoclonal antibody 2B4 spe ci fically against LPS conservative epitope. The positive clones were identified by phage ELISA and competitive inhibition assay by either S.typhi T 8-61 LPS or E.coli O111:B4 LPS. After three rounds of biopanning,the clones binding with 2B4 antibody were well enriched with positive rate of 80%. The bindings between 12 of positive phage clones and screening antibody were competitively inhibited by the two kinds of LPS,indicating that the positive clones have similar epitope with LPS. The positive peptide sequences were deduced from the corresponding DNA sequences. There were identical sequences among them. The seq uences were GPPQWFFSQPQL （5/12，41.7%），LPQYFWNTATTA （3/12，25%），FPQNHWNVP WAT（2/12，16.6%），HSQSFWNAPLAM and AHPWTHGYFPPL （1/12，8.3%） respectively . The results demonstrate that the peptides screened with 2B4 antibody are mimot opes for LPS conservative epitope.

Objective:To analyze and compare clinical characteristics and risk factors of patients with uremic encephalopathy (UE).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed from January 2014 to January 2019 in our hospital. Seventy patients diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) at the end stage (according to diagnosis standard of CKD) complicated with UE were classified into the UE group. In principle matching with sex, age and duration of disease, seventy patients with chronic kidney disease at the end stage but without UE were classified into the non-UE group (NUE group). The demographic data, laboratory examination, CT or MRI examination were recorded and analyzed by using t or χ 2 test. In addition, independent risk factors of patients with UE were analyzed by using Logistic model. Results:A total of 70 patients in the UE group and 70 patients in the NUE group were collected. The proportion of patients with a history of alcohol comsumption, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and polycystic kidney disease were higher in the UE group than in the NUE group ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in hypertension, diabetes, and coronary artery disease history between the two groups ( P>0.05). The proportion of cerebral focus and lesions for brain white matter revealed by head CT or MRI in the UE group were significantly higher than that in the NUE group ( P<0.05). The serum NLR and UA levels in the UE group were higher than those in the NUE group ( P<0.05), but the serum ALB and FT3 levels in the UE group were lower than those in the NUE group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that serum NLR, ALB and FT3 levels were independent risk factors for UE patients. Conclusions:Cerebral focus and lesions for brain white matter revealed by CT or MRI are typical abnormal in UE patients. The serum NLR, FT3 and ALB levels are independent risk factor for UE patients.

Objective To observe the expression changes of 12 ischemia-related microRNAs (miRNA) in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury after deep hypothermic low flow (DHLF) in mice.Methods A total of 80 3-w eek-old healthy and clean grade C57BL/6 male mice w ere randomly divided into either a DHLF model group or a sham operation group. Each group w as redivided into 4 subgroups according to the time points of 2, 6, 12, and 24 h (10 in each group). The bilateral carotid arteries of the DHLF model group w ere clipped and a DHLF model w as established, w hile the carotid arteries of the sham operation group w ere not clipped. The mice w ere sacrified at each time point and the brain tissue w as removed. The total RNA w as extracted. Quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction w as used to detect miRNA expression. Results Compared w ith the sham operation group, the expression levels of 9 miRNAs w ere upregulated, 2 w ere dow n-regulated, and 1 did not have any significant change in the DHLF model group. Conclusions The expression levels of 11 miRNAs changed significantly after DHLF. It might have a regulatory role in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury after DHLF.

Objective To compare the clinical and electroencephalogram(EEG)characteristics and therapeutic response prognosis of different age groups of children with epileptic spasm .Methods From January 2002 to October 2011 the clinical data ,EEG fea-tures of epileptic spasms children under 15 years old with unknown disease cause(cryptogenic) were retrospectively reviewed .74 of them were followed up for 12 to 92 months .All of them were divided into two groups on the basis of onset age :3 -12 months of onset as group infantile-onset spasms(group IOS ,n=60);and 12 months to 7 years old of onset as group late-onset epileptic spasms (group LOS ,n=14) .Clinical process ,seizure semiology and EEG features were compared between two groups .Results Semiologic features of two groups were similar ,but they showed differences in interictal EEG features including the background ,the location of discharges ;The response to drugs between the two groups are also different .Conclusion There are differences between group IOS and group LOS when comparing EEG features and response to drugs .

Objective: To study the diagnosis and management of choledochal cyst in children with accessory hepatic ducts (AHD). Methods: From November 2013 to June 2018, 14 patients with choledochal cyst with AHD were treated in Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center. The patients included 2 males and 12 females, and age ranged from 4 months to 3 years (median 2 years). All patients underwent MRCP before operation, and 2 underwent operative cholangiography through the AHD. Results: Seven patients with choledochal cyst and AHD were demonstrated by preoperative MRCP and intraoperative exploration. One patient was suspected by preoperative MRCP to have AHD which was confirmed by surgical exploration. Preoperative MRCP failed to diagnose, but operative exploration revealed AHD in 6 patients. Anastomosis of the AHD to jejunum was performed laparoscopically in 8 patients and by open surgery in 1 patient. Six patients had the common hepatic duct and the AHD joined together to create a common channel which was then implanted as a single duct into a Roux loop, Three patients had the common hepatic duct and the AHD anastomosed separately to a Roux loop. All the patients recovered well after operation and they were discharged home without any complication. A follow-up which ranged from 0.5 to 5 years showed no jaundice, liver atrophy or liver abscess. Conclusions MRCP was important in the preoperative diagnosis of choledochal cyst with accessory hepatic duct in children. MRCP was difficult in diagnosing type II accessory hepatic ducts. In suspected or undiagnosed cases of AHD, surgical exploration helped to improve the diagnostic accuracy, avoided injury and guided correct surgical decisions. Reconstruction of AHD required joining the AHD to the common hepatic duct, or as a separate duct to jejunal anastomosis to a Roux-y-loop.

A total of 1 685 school-age children selected from Hangzhou received lung function testing to evaluate the short-term effects of air pollution on their lung function. The results showed that in every 10 μg/m³ increase of average concentration of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ on the day of the test and the day before the test,peak expiratory flow (PEF) decreased 0.039 (95%CI: 0.012-0.067) L/s and 0.031 (95% CI:0.011-0.051) L/s,respectively. When the average concentration of SO₂ increased 10 μg/m³ on the day of test and the day prior to the test, PEF and 75% of the forced vital capacity that has not been exhaled (MEF₇₅) decreased 0.437 (95%CI: 0.217-0.658) L/s and 0.396 (95%CI: 0.180-0.613) L/s. After being adjusted for NO₂,with every 10 μg/m³ increase of average concentration of PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ on the day of the test and the day before the test,PEF and MEF₇₅ decreased 0.056 (95%CI: 0.028-0.085), 0.053(95%CI: 0.027-0.081) and 0.047 (95%CI: 0.026-0.068) L/s,0.044 (95%CI: 0.023-0.065) L/s on the day before the test, respectively. The results indicate that air pollution have short-term and lag effects on lung function of school-age children in Hangzhou.
