Objective To compare MSCT with routing X-ray, CT and appraise their applications to fractures in forensic identification. Methods366 cases which had got routing X-ray or CT examination were examined by thin slice scanning with MSCT and all of the data were processed with MPR, see-through and SSD method. Accurate diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis & underdiagnosis rate were calculated and analyzed by Chi-square test. ResultsThe accurate diagnosis rates of MSCT in nasal fracture, rib fracture, limb or joint fracture, orbital fracture and cranial fracture were higher than that of X-ray or routing CT (P0.05). The total accurate diagnosis rates of X-ray, routing CT and MSCT were 59.17%, 70.27% and 99.45%, respectively. There were significant differences (P

0.05)between left AF(238,36.62%)and right AF(220,33.85%).More HIZs(446,68.62%)were located in inferior AF than that of middle or superior AF.The motion segments from L3、4 to L5S1 were the region that the HIZ occurred frequently and it could present in single segment or multi-segment.In anterior AF,HIZs often occurred at L2、3 and/or L3、4 discs.Whereas,they usually developed at L4、5 and/or L5S1 in posterior AF. Conclusion The incidence rate of HIZ in lumbar disc is higher.Posterior and inferior AF of discs and lower motive segments have more risk of HIZs.It could develop in single motive segment or multi-segments at one time.

Objective: To clone Fd and light chain genes of monoclonal antibody HAb18 against human hepatoma and verify their accuracy and liability. Methods: Total RNA was extracted from hybridoma cell line secreting MAb HAb18, and Fd and light chain genes were amplified by RT-PCR. After PCR products were ligated into pMD18T vector, positive clones were screened and DNA sequences were tested and analysed by relative softwares. Then, light chain and Fd genes were sequential cloned into phage display vector pComb3. After recombinant vector was transformed into E.coli XL1-blue, recombinant vector was rescued by helper phage M13K07 and the specificity of phages to antigen was detected by indirect ELISA. Results: The size of amplified Fd and light chain genes was separately 665 bp and 668 bp. The results of sequence analysis showed that both VL and VH contained 2 characteristic cystines and CH1 was IgG1 classes and CL was ?. ELISA result identified that expressed Fab antibody could specially bind to corresponding antigen. Conclusion: Fd and light chain genes of MAb HAb18 were successfully cloned, which lay a good foundation for constructing a diversity of engineering antibody.

Objective: To select anti-HAb18G (hepatoma associated antigen) human Fd fragments with guided selection of L chain of chimeric Fab-HAb18. Methods: The human Fd repertories genes were amplified by RT-PCR from PBMC of hepatoma patients, and cloned into the vector pComb3X with chimeric L chain to construct the human-mouse hybrid Fab phage library. HAblSGE, extracellular region of HAblSG, was used as antigen to screen. The positive clones was obtained by ELISA and FCM with p Ⅲ-fusion Fab antibody. The DNA sequences were analyzed. Results: A human-mouse Fab antibody library were constructed with 2?107 PFU. After 6 rounds panning, 7 positive clones were obtained with ELISA and FCM. And sequences of 2 clones with better affinity were same. The CHI belonged to the IgG2 class as the parent Fd, and the variable region belonged to VH3 family. Conclusions: Through the construction of the HuMFab phage antibody library and chemeric L chain-guided selection, we get the available human Fd fragments for subsequent research.

A method was developed for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ( PAHs ) in water by HPLC coupled with online solid phase extraction ( online SPE ) . After filtered, 1 mL of a water sample was injected directly, and then trapped on the SPE column ( Acclaim PAⅡ, 50 mm × 4. 6 mm, 3 μm) for extraction and purification; finally, the trapped analytes were transferred to the analytical column (Hypersil Green PAH, 150 mm × 3 mm, 3 μm) for the separation using valve-switching technique. The mobile phase used for online SPE was water/acetonitrile at different flow rate ( 0 . 4 and 0 . 6 mL/min ) in gradient elution mode;and that used for the separation was water/acetonitrile at 0. 8 mL/min flow rate. UV wavelength was set at 254 nm for the determination of naphthalene and acenaphthylene with no/very weak fluorescent response;fluorescence detection using programmed wavelength switching in three parallel channels was used for the other PAHs. The whole analysis process including online SPE and separation was completed within 32 min. The relative standard deviation ( RSD) of 20 PAHs were all less than 0. 16% for retention time, and less than 1. 3% for peak area (n=7). The peak area had a good linearity with the sample concentration in three orders of magnitude with correlation coefficients of above 0 . 9910 . The recoveries for 0 . 05 μg/L of each analyte in tap water were in the range of 57%-140%, and for 5 . 0 μg/L of each analyte were in the range of 85%-116%. The limits of detection of the method were less than 0 . 05 μg/L ( S/N=3 ) for most PAHs.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence and gene mutation spectrum of childhood thalassemia in Sanya city. MethodsThere were 938 children in our hospital screened by routine blood test, C-reactive protein test and hemoglobinelectro-phoresis. Based on the screening results in children with thalassemia and its subtypes, the alpha thalassaemia children were diag-nosed by gap - polymerase chain reaction, while the beta thalassaemia ones were diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction-reverse dot blot, and all the results were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsScreening positive rate of thalassemia anemia was 13.65% (128/938), genetic diagnosis positive rate was 11.41% (107/938). In 107 cases diagnosed with thalassemia by genetic test, 59 were alpha thalassaemia, and 46 were beta thalassaemia, and 2 cases were alpha thalassaemia combined with beta thalassaemia. In 59 cases of alpha thalassaemia, 31 had genotype of - SEA/alpha alpha , 13 cases with genotype alpha 4.2 / alpha alpha, and 6 were of HbH disease. In the 46 cases of beta thalassaemia children, six gene locus mutations were found : CD41-42 (CTTT) in 21 cases, TATAbox - 28 (A - G) in 13 cases, CDs14/15 (G) in 5 cases, IVS - Int 654 (C - > T) in 4 cases, CD17 (A - > T) in 2 cases, and 27-28 (C) in 1 case.ConclusionHigh prevalence of thalassemia in children from Sanya city warrants genetic counseling, premarital check-up and prenatal diagnosis.

BACKGROUND: The occurrence and severity of acute high-altitude disease(AHAD) are determined by the speed entering the highland, the altitude of highland and seasons. The association between obesity and AHAD has not been fully investigated.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between obesity and acute high-altitude in people exposed rapidly to the highland.DESIGN: Comparative observation.SETTING: Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Chinese PLA and Department of Cardiology, Tibetan General Hospital of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, General Hospital of Tibetan Military Area Command of Chinese PLA in August 2006. Totally 82 Henan subjects aged 28-45 years were selected from the male workers constructing the Qinghai-Tibet Railway and their managers with acute high-altitude exposure. They had never been to the highland before, and all agreed to the detection.METHODS: ①Every subject completed the AHAD self-report questionnaire at sea level and 12 hours and 24 hours after ascending high-altitude. The items in the questionnaire included symptoms of headache, gastrointestinal symptoms,fatigue or weakness, dizziness, and insomnia. Each symptom was graded from 0-3 with 0 as no symptoms, 1 as mild symptoms, 2 as moderate symptoms, and 3 as severe symptoms and a total score of 15. A score of 4 or more could by identified as AHAD. ②The height and body mass were measured to calculate the body mass (BMI). Those with BMI≥28 kg/m2 served as the obesity group [n =39, mean age (35±8) years], and those with BMI of 18.5-23.9 kg/m2 as the normal body mass group [n =43, mean age (35±8) years]. ③Arterial blood was taken to evaluate arterial oxygen saturation (SO2), arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2) and arterial carbon dioxide pressure (PaCO2) at baseline and 24 hours after ascending high-altitude. ④The measurement data was compared by t test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BMI, vital capacity of lungs, SO2, PaO2 and PaCO2 levels of obese and normal people.RESULTS: Totally 39 obese people and 43 normal people were involved in the result analysis. ①AHAD score: No symptom was reported at sea level in all participants (scored 0), but the AHAD scores in the obesity group were significantly higher than those in normal group 12-hour and 24-hour after ascending high-altitude. ②Blood gas analysis:At sea level, there were no statistical differences in the levels of SO2, PaO2, and PaCO2 between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).But 24 hours after ascending high-altitude, SO2 and PaO2 of the obesity group were much lower than in the normal group (P＜ 0.01), and PaCO2 was significantly higher than in the normal group (P＜ 0.01).CONCLUSION: Obese men are more vulnerable to high-altitude hypoxia than people with normal body mass. Obesity is an important risk factor for the development of acute high-altitude disease.

Objective:To explore the environmental risk factors of different categories of congenital heart defects ( CHD) and provide evidence for further risk factors and prevention research of CHD pheno-types. Methods:Data of Guangdong CHD Register Study from 2004 to 2012 were used. In the study, 3 038 CHD cases and 3 038 paired controls from 34 hospitals distributed in 17 cities were registered and related information were collected using uniform, and structured questionnaires.
