ObjectiveTo explore the feasibility and efficacy of percutaneous transhepatic approach in the treatment of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones. MethodsNineteen patients with bile duct stones who were treated in our hospital from January 2000 to October 2014 were enrolled as subjects. In the treatment of bile duct stones, all patients received percutaneous transhepatic approach combined with the application of cholangioscopy and lithotripsy equipment. ResultsIn the 19 patients, 12 had the stones successfully removed in a single session, 5 had the stones completely removed through the liver sinus in three sessions, and 2 had residual stones in intrahepatic tertiary bile ducts. The success rate of lithotomy reached 89.47%(17/19). ConclusionThe percutaneous transhepatic approach achieves minor surgical invasion and slight pain in the treatment of bile duct stones, which can be selectively used based on patients′ condition.

Objective To analyze the biological characteristics of a mutant strain of Salmonella ty-phimurium SL1344 with sseK2-deletion (SL1344△sseK2) in order to provide reference for further study of safe and effective live vaccines. Methods The mutant strain SL1344△sseK2 with a deletion of 1047 bp in sseK2 gene was constructed through a two-step allelic exchange using recombinant suicide plasmid. Its com-plemented strain, SL1344C△sseK2, was also constructed. Biological and immunological characteristics of the mutant strain were detected. Results PCR, double-enzyme digestion and sequencing analysis showed that the mutant strain SL1344△sseK2 and the complemented strain SL1344C△sseK2 were successfully con-structed. The serotype of the mutant strain was 1,4,[5],12:i:1,2, identical to the parent strain SL1344. In addition, the mutant strain showed no significant change in biochemical characteristics or growth rate and was genetically stable in vitro. Compared with the parent strain SL1344, the virulence of SL1344△sseK2 was attenuated in BALB/ c mice. The median lethal dose of SL1344△sseK2 for 6-week-old BALB/ c mice was 3. 44×108 colony-forming units (CFU), which was 1620 times lower than that of SL1344. Oral immuniza-tion with SL1344△sseK2 protected 62. 5% of the mice against challenge with wild Salmonella typhimurium strains on 17 d after vaccination. The levels of serum IgG antibody peaked on 14 d after immunization. No significant difference in biological characteristics was observed between the complemented and the parent strains, indicating that the mutant strain was basically complemented to the wild-type strain.Conclusions The mutant strain SL1344△sseK2 was constructed successfully and genetically stable with sig-nificantly attenuated virulence and good immunogenicity. This study suggested that sseK2 gene played an im-portant role in regulating the virulence of SL1344, which might provide reference for further study of its func-tion and for assessing its potential as a candidate live attenuated vaccine.

In order to research immunogenicity of the recombinant rVP2-IL-2 fusion protein, we obtained the rVP2-IL-2 fusion protein using Pichia pastoris expression system, and then evaluated its potential to induce immune responses in chicken. The effect was determined in the form of protective anti-IBDV VP2 titers, antibodies (IgG1 and IgG2a), lymphocyte proliferation, the levels of interferon-gamma and interleukin-4 cytokines, and challenge experiment. Antibody titers and proliferation lymphocyte level suggested that the fusion protein could elicit specific humoral immune and cellular immune responses, antibody sub-type results indicated that the rVP2-IL-2 fusion protein induced secretion both of IgG1 and IgG2a. The seem result elicited from cytokines ELISA test, secretion of both of Th1 (gamma-IFN) and Th2 (IL-4) were induced by the rVP2-IL-2 fusion protein. Challenge experiment result shown that chicken immunized the rVP2-IL-2 fusion protein obtained 85% protection. These results confirm that the fusion protein enhances the protection against IBDV through both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, and thus could serve as a candidate for the development of IBDV subunit vaccine.
