Objective: To assess the clinical application of transabdominal ultrasonography for the diagnosis of achalasia. Methods: The subjects were divided into 3 groups, with 8 patients suffered from achalasia as patient group, 10 normal individuals and 8 patients with cardiac carcinoma as controls. All subjects received water provocative test to study the lower esophagus and cardia. Sonographic findings were compared between the 3 groups. After treatment by administration of drugs, pneumatic balloon dilation, or intrasphincteric injection of botulinum toxin, the 8 patients were re examined by TAUS for longitudinal comparison. Results: (1)The normal subjects had no dilation of cardia and lower esophagus before drinking water, but their cardias opened rapidly with the drinking action. (2)All the patients of achalasia were found to have dilation of lower esophagus before taking water. During 10 min continuous TAUS scanning, 5 of 8 demonstrated absence of relaxation of cardias and absence of water from the esophagus into the stomach. The other 3 showed slight and intermittent relaxation of cardias with water flow into the stomach. Thirty minutes after water provocative test, all the 8 patients had water retardation within the lower esophagus. (3)The patients of cardiac carcinoma had an ultrasound feature of cardiac ring enlargement and thickening of cardiac wall without dilation of lower esophagus before water provocative test. Water passed the cardia more slowly. Conclusion: TAUS is a readily accepted examination. It can quickly give reliable diagnostic clues to achalasia. TAUS can also be used for making assessment of therapeutic effect on achalasia. [

Cerebralvasospasmisthemostcommonandmostdangerouscomplicationofsubarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). If it can not be diagnosed and treated early, it w il result in delayed cerebral ischemia and delayed ischemic neurological deficits, and seriously affect the outcomes of patients. SAH can cause oxidative stress and inflammation, causing vasospasm, and leading to brain tissue damage. Numerous studies have show n that the concentrations and activities of numerous metabolites w il change in these pathological physiological processes. Identification of the changes of location, time and trend of these markers has important clinical significance for investigating the mechanism of cerebral vasospasm after SAH and seeking better therapeutic targets. This article review s the molecular markers of cerebral vasospasm after SAH.

Objective:To construct Cyanovirin-N(CV-N) expression plasmid pET-CVN and express the protein in E.coli, and to prepare specific antibody against Cyanovirin-N.Methods:In this study, the encoding sequence of Cyanovirin-N was obtained by PCR. The expression plasmid pET-CVN was constructed by inserting the encoding sequence of CV-N into pET-His containing T7 promoter and then BL21(DE3)strain was transformed. Expression of CV-N was induced by IPTG at 30℃ for 8 h. Cyanovirin-N was refolded by using dialysis method. The target protein was purified through Ni2+-NTA Agarose Fast Flow. The purified Cyanovirin-N was used as an antigen to immunize rats,and the polycolonal antibody to Cyanovirin-N was obtained.Results:Cyanovirin-N was cloned and expressed in E.coli successfully. SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the Cyanovirin-N was expressed in the form of insoluble inclusion body,and the expression amount of Cyanovirin-N was about 42.08% of total protein. With ELISA detection the titer of antibody was more than 1∶8 000, Western blot analysis showed that the antibody can bind with Cyanovirin-N specifically.Conclusion:Cyanovirin-N expression plasmid pET-CVN has been constructed, Cyanovirin-N with bioactivity has been obtained. The prepared antibody against Cyanovirin-N has well specificity and reactivity and can be used to detect the expression products by recombinant strains of E.coli.The work lays a foundation further study of its functions.
