Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2015;(3):209-211
Objective] To observe the prevention and treatment of incision fat liquefaction after caesarean section with external mirabilite application. [Method] The cases were collected from Jan. 2010 to Jan. 2013, in accordance with standard cases. Select 200 cases of puerpera with bad high risk factors of incision cure, randomly divide them into control group(routine changing prescription without mirabilite) 100 cases and prevention group(routine changing prescription added with mirabilite external application) 100 cases, observe both groups cut cure after 7d.[Result] In mirabilite prevention group, 98 cases were cured well, 1 case was not very good, 1 bad; in control group, 88 were excellent, 4 not very good and 8 bad, the cure excellent rate of prevention group was much better than control group(P<0.05), as well as the incision fat liquefaction rate much lower than control one. [Conclusion] Mirabilite external application can promote incision cure after caesarean section and reduce incision fat liquefaction.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of surgery on treating multi-extensively drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant pulmonary (XDR) tuberculosis (M/XDR-PTB) in order to provide the new approach for patients with M/XDR-PTB.Methods The information of 75 cases with M/XDRPTB were recorded and they were underwent thoracic surgery at the National Tuberculosis Center in Tbilisi,Georgia from October 2008 to February 2011.Results Of 75 patients,52 cases were MDR and 23 were XDR with PTB underwent adjunctive thoracic surgery.The following surgical procedures were performed including pneumonectomy(10%),lobectomy (51%),segmentectomy (33%).Median age was 30 years and average duration of preoperative M/XDR-PTB medical therapy was 350 days.Mean postoperative follow up period was 372 days.Of 72 patients with complete outcomes information,59 (82%) had favorable outcomes including 90% of MDR and 68% of XDR-TB patients.No postoperative death occurred,7 patients (9%) had postoperative complications.Univariate analysis showed that,compared with good treatment outcomes,risk factors of poor treatment outcomes included cavitary disease (62% vs.27%,P => 0.02),probability of suffering from XDR (62% vs.27%,P =0.02),positive preoperative sputum culture (77% vs.14%,P< 0.001),acceptance of sensitive drugs(1.9% vs.2.8%,P =0.03) and major postoperative surgical complication (23% vs.5%,P =0.03).Conclusion Patients with M/XDR-PTB undergoing adjunctive thoracic surgery show with high rates of favorable outcomes,and no surgical related death as well as the low complications rates.Adjunctive surgery appears to play an important role in the treatment of select patients with M/XDR-PTB.

The structure and properties about encoding protein of lactate dehydrogenase A from Taenia solium(Ts LDH-A)were analyzed and predicted by bioinformatics in this study.The immunological characteristics of this novel gene were also analyzed by cloning and expressing.The full-length cDNA encoding Ts LDH-A was identified from the cDNA plasmid library by blastx and rpsblast programs provided by NCBI.The physico-chemical properties and structures of Ts LDH-A were analyzed by tools provided by ExPASy.And the B cell epitopes of Ts LDH-A were predicted by the B Cell Epitope Prediction Tools provided by IEDB Analysis Resource.The PCR amplified coding region of Ts LDH-A was cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a (+) and expressed in E.coli BL21 with IPTG induction.The immunogenicity of the purified recombinant protein was analyzed by Western Blotting.It was demonstrated that the amino acid sequence of Ts LDH-A had identity with that of LDH-A from other specie and there was a conserved LDH domain in the deduced amino acid sequence.The full-length cDNA sequence encoding Ts LDH-A included a complete open reading frame(ORF)of 1332 bp and coded to a putative protein with 331 amino acids.The molecular weight of Ts LDH-A was predicted to be 35461.1 Da and the coding protein was demonstrated to contain 3 trans-membrane regions and 4 main B cell epitopes.The active site of L-lactate dehydrogenase located at the epitope aa190-199.The 3 key residues in the catalytic site of enzyme were conserved in different species and located near to each other in spatial position.PCR,double enzyme restriction and DNA sequencing were used to identify pET28a (+)-Ts LDH-A.The recombinant protein could react with the rat's sera as well as the sera from the patients and the swine infected Taenia solium.It is clear that the full-length cDNA sequence encoding Ts LDH-A can be screened from the cDNA library of adult Taenia solium by bioinformatics analysis and can be used to investigate the structure and properties about gene and encoding protein of Ts LDH-A as well as the immunological activities of gene expression in the prokaryotic system.
