In order to examine the feasibility of cytokine fusion gene transfer into tumor cells, a retroviral vector (pLXSN) for human interleukin 6/interleukin 2 (IL6/IL2) fusion gene was constructed by using PCR and ligating the 2 genes with a synthesized flexible linker. The IL6/IL2 fused gene was introduced into B16 melanoma cell line mediated by retrovirus and the changes of adhesive and metastatic ability of fused gene-modified cells were detected. The B16-IL6/ IL2 cells showed efficient expression of both cytokines and decreased binding affinity with extracellular matrix (Laminin and Matrigel), accompanying with decreased experimental metastatic potentials. These data suggest that the mechanism involving the decreased metastases may relate with the changes of biological characteristics and immune stimulating activity of gene-modified cells.

Objective To describe the clinical features of invasive fungal disease in Huashan Hospital,Fudan University from January 2004 to December 2006.Methods The medical data were reviewed retrospectively for the patients with fungal infection, which was confirmed by positive fungal culture or microscopic examination with blood,sterile body fluid,deep tissue,sputum specimen or isolation of Aspergillus spp.and Cryptococcus spp.from bronchoalveolar lavage.The proven and probable cases of invasive fungal disease were included in this analysis.Results A total of 111 patients were diagnosed as invasive fungal dis-ease,including 104 proven cases and 7 probable cases.Sixty-one cases were community-acquired and the other 50 were nosoco-mial.The most common site of infection was bloodstream (51,45.9%),followed by central nervous system (44,39.6%)and respiratory system (14,12.6%).The most common pathogens were Candida spp.(50,45%),Cryptococcus (47,42.3%) and Aspergillus spp. (12, 10.8%). The community-acquired fungal infections were mostly found in central nervous system (44,72.1%),and respiratory system (12, 19.7%),mainly caused by Cryptococcus and Aspergillus. The nosocomial fungal infections occurred primarily in blood-stream (96.0%),mainly due to Candida spp.No underlying disease or risk factor was identified in more than half of the pa-tients with community-acquired infection,while almost all the patients with nosocomial fungal infection had underlying disease and predisposing factors.Indwelling venous catheter was closely associated with nosocomial bloodstream infection.Indwelling venous catheter lasted for more than 1 week in 64.7% of the patients with Candida bloodstream infection.The same fungal strain was isolated from both the cather and blood of the same patient in 11 cases.The overall mortality of these invasive fungal diseases was 14.4% (16/111).The mortality rate was 18.0% (9/50)in the patients with nosocomial invasive fungal infection, and 11.5% (7/61)in the patients with community-acquired invasive fungal infection.Conclusions The most common site of in-vasive fungal infection is bloodstream,followed by central nervous system,and respiratory system.Majority of the fungal patho-gens are Candida spp.,Cryptococcus and Aspergillus spp.The community-acquired invasive fungal disease is primarily meningitis caused by Cryptococcus.The nosocomial invasive fungal disease is mainly bloodstream infection caused by Candida spp.

Abstact: Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of endoscopic sphineter Oddi manometry (SOM) in patients with recurring abdominal pain and observe the value of endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) in treatment of patients with sphincter of Oddi dysfunction (SOD).MethodsClinical data of 30 patients with chronic abdominal pain after cholecystectomy who were suspected SOD from 2012 October to 2014 September were collected and retrospectively analyzed. These patients received SOM in ERCP examination and the observation of Oddi sphincter basal pressure, contraction amplitude, frequency and mode of transmission were carried out. The EST were carried out in patients with basal pressure of Oddi sphincter higher than 40.0 mmHg or higher than 30.0 mmHg, and the presence of serum amylase, lipase, ALT, AST, AKP increased more than 2 times of the normal value and (or) of common bile duct, pancreatic duct widening.ResultThe SOM of all the 30 patients were all abnormal. The basal pressure of Oddi sphincter, the contraction amplitude, the contraction frequency and the reverse shrinkage were (36.6 ± 21.1) mmHg, (210.6 ± 25.7) mmHg, (10.1 ± 3.1) times/min and (55.0 ± 8.0)%. All the patients were treated with EST, of which 27 cases (90.0%) received good results.Conclusion SOM is helpful in evaluation of Oddisphincter function, it is of great value in diagnosis of SOD. EST treatment obtained satisfactory effect in patients with elevated basal pressure of Oddi sphincter.

ObjectiveTo probe the feasibility and therapeutic effect of the lateral thigh perforator flap for repairing soft tissue defects in extremity limbs.MethodsDissected six fresh Chinese adult lower limbs specimens which were injected with red latex via arterial cannula. Obseved the number, distribution,course, category of the flaps'perforators and measured their length of pedicle, external diameter on the specimens.Combinafing the results of the anatomy study,thirteen lateral thigh perforator flaps,whose size were 3.0 cm × 3.0 cm - 19.0 cm× 8.0 cm, were applyied to repair different defect, in which 1 was pedieled flap and 12 were free flaps.Two of them applied vessel anastomosis in series with anterlateral thigh perforator flap. The axis was from the fibulae capitulum to greater trochanter of femur.ResultsAll 13 flaps surived com-pletely.In 3-6 months follow-up,all flaps were with thin and good appearance,and they were characterized by soft texture and good colour.No chimatlon and ulcer appeared in any flap.There were no effect of motor function in donor site because of muscle conglutination and scar contracture. There were plainness figure in donor site where skin- grafing was used, and only linearity scar remained where sewed directly.ConclusionThe lateral thigh flap had provided with thin and pleasing appearance, soft texture and minor morbidity in donor site and correspondingly easy dissection. It was feasiblely to repair middling to little skin and soft tissue defect in extremity limbs as a free flap, and to repair skin and soft tissue defect in knee and popliteal space as a pedicel flap.It could apply vessel anastomosis in series with anterlateral thigh perforator flap for repairing large defect.

In order to strengthen the management of disinfection quality of endoscopes, Quality Control Center of Digestive Endoscopy and Nosocomial Infection Control Center of Yunnan Province investigated the diagnosis, treatment, cleaning and disinfection conditions and disinfection quality of digestive endoscopes in some medical institutions of Yunnan Province by web questionnaire from April to May in 2019, and 277 valid questionnaires were finally obtained. SPSS 19.0 statistical software was used to analyze the influencing factors of cleaning and disinfection process and the infection control implementation of digestive endoscopes in 227 secondary and tertiary hospitals. The results showed that the number of decontamination people who had received systematic training in Yunnan Province was significantly lower than that in other areas of China. The hospital level, the number of decontamination personnel, and decontamination methods affected the implementation of cleaning and decontamination process and infection control, while the allocation of decontamination supplies had no effects. It is important to establish an effective mechanism for the normalized implementation of cleaning and disinfection of digestive endoscopes.
