Objective To isolate Fusarium species from Kashin-Beck disease(KBD)area and biosynthesize cnlde T-2 toxin.Methods T-2 toxin.producing Fusarium was isolated from corns produced in KBD area and purifted.The purifted funsi were identified according to the traits of colony,appearance of thallus and characters of conidium and then weIe cultivated in sterile Corn culture media.After extraction with organic solvent and purification by silica gel chromatography column,the quality and quantity of the toxin in the extracts were estimated by thin,Layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography.Results The toxin-producing strain was Fusarium tricinctum. The com cuIture media inoculated with this strain produced about 250 mg of crude T-2 toxin per kg. Conclusions This experiment has indirectly further confirmed pollution of T-2 toxin-producing Fmarium existed in

Objective To measure the renal tissue texture or flexibility with virtual touch quantization (VTQ) and to tentatively examine its clinical application in patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD).Methods A total of 750 patients (1500 kidneys) were performed with VTQ,including 400 cases in the control group,and 350 cases in the CKD group.A conventional ultrasound examination (two-dimensional,color Doppler) were first taken,and then the shear wave velocity (Vs) was measured which reflected the textural elastic.Results In both groups the Vs was the highest in renal cortex with significant difference (P<0.05); renal cortical region Vs in CKD group was lower than those in control group (P<0.05),while Vs of renal medulla and renal sinus had no significant difference in the two groups.The severity of renal dysfunction was increased along with a Vs decrease of renal cortex.Conclusion VTQ is helpful to assess renal function of patients with CKD.

Objective To discuss the ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia for airway stenosis.Methods From May 2008 to January 2013,25 consecutive patients with airway stenosis underwent the treatment of ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia.The dyspnea score was grade Ⅱ in 3 patients,grade Ⅲ in 18 patients and grade Ⅳ in 4 patients.During the treatment,a 4 F VER catheter was placed into one of the main bronchi as a ventilatory catheter for oxygen supply in advance,the oxygen flow was set at 2 to 4 L/rmin according to the patients' condition,then the airway stenting was performed,after release of the stent,the ventilatory catheter was removed smoothly.Data on technical success,clinical outcome and follow-up were collected and analyzed respectively.The paired t test was performed to compare variables before and after tracheal stenting.Results Ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia was technically successful in all patients.A total of 25 stents were placed in 25 patients.The stents included I-shaped stents (n=19) and Y-shaped stents (n=6).After the oxygen supply,the patients' SaO2 was increased to 94% to 97% rapidly.When the stent introducer sheaths were passing through the stenotic site,the SaO2 could be maintained at 92% to 97%.The improvement of the respiratory difficulty was achieved in 100% of our patients.The hypoxia symptom was relieved immediately after stents placement,the dyspnea score decreased to grade 0 in 2 patients,to grade Ⅰ in 19 patients and to grade Ⅱ in 4 patients.Respiratory rate and SaO2 improved from (30.0±2.1) times/min and (6.0±3.8)% before stenting to (19.7±1.6) times/min (t=23.33,P<0.01) and (93.0± 1.7)% (t=23.50,P<0.01) after stenting,respectively.Through the follow-up,3 patients suffered the stent-related complications after discharge,the complications included re-stenosis (n=2) and fracture(n=1).Conclusion Ventilatory catheter-assisted airway stenting under local anesthesia can be an effective,simple and safe method for airway stenosis.

Objective:To prepare the polyclonal antibodies against advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP),and to provide an effective agent for research on the pathogenesis of AOPP and assess exactly the relationship between AOPP and relative diseases.Methods:AOPP-rabbit serum albumin (AOPP-RSA) was prepared by treating RSA with hypochloric acid.The rabbit anti-AOPP-RSA polyclonal antibodies were generated and purified by affinity chromatography. The titers and the specificity of the antibodies were measured by ELISA.The plasma AOPP and the localization of AOPP in nephridial tissues of some patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) were determined using rabbit anti-AOPP-RSA.Results:Titers of the antibodies were 10-6.Purified antibodies reacted specifically with oxidized albumin from different genus,but could not react with normal albumin and glycosylated albumin.The high level of AOPP in plasma from CKD patients was confirmed by Western blot.The antibodies could be used to immunostain AOPP deposition in different regions of kidney tissues from both CKD patients and CKD rat models.Conclusion:We successfully generate rabbit anti-AOPP polyclonal antibodies with high titers and striking specificity.The presence of plasma AOPP and localizations of AOPP in kidney tissues of CKD patients can be demonstrated using the antibodies.The development of anti-AOPP polyclonal antibodies may provide a new tool to explore the pathogensis of AOPP and assess exactly the relationship between AOPP and relative diseases.

OBJECTIVETo study the therapeutic effects of combined anterior-posterior (small incision or micro-incision) approach for complex tibial plateau and posterior condylar fractures.
METHODSFrom 2000 to 2008, 79 patients (81 limbs) with complex tibial plateau and posterior condylar fractures were reviewed. There were 45 males and 34 females, ranging in age from 19 to 66 years, with an average of 40.6 years. Thirty-nine limbs were treated using small incision through combined anterior-posterior approach, in which 13 limbs were Schatzker type IV, 15 limbs were type V ,and 11 limbs were type VI. Other 42 limbs were treated using micro-incision through combined anterior-posterior approach, in which 18 limbs were Schatzker type IV, 16 limbs were type V, and 8 limbs were type VI. The Rasmussen scores for knee joint and radio scores were used to evaluate therapeutic effects after the treatment. The complications such as cutaneous necrosis and incision infection were observed.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up. According to Rasmussen criterion, in small incision group, 16 limbs got an excellent result, 13 good, 7 fair and 3 bad; in micro-incision group,above data were 19, 11, 8 and 4 respectively. Comparison between the two groups, P = 0.924. Comparison of complications such as cutaneous necrosis and incision infection: in small incision group,10 limbs had the complications, and in micro-incision group were 4 limbs; the occurrence rate of small incision group were higher than that of micro-incision group (P = 0.047).
CONCLUSIONThere are no significant differences between the two groups in the knee joint function rehabilitation; however, there is smaller rate for cutaneous necrosis and incision infection in micro-incision group.
