Objective To learn more about virulence genes and clonal complex group structure of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VPH)strains separated from aquatic products in East China coastal areas between 2007 and 2012.Methods Seventy-nine strains separated from aquatic products in eastern coastal areas(Guandong,Fujian,Shanghai,Shandong,Jiangsu and Beijing)of China between 2007 and 2012 were identified as VPH by real-time-PCR with gene tlh.Gene tdh,trh and orf8 were also detected.Subgroup analysis and complex analysis were conducted of the VPH strains to build the minimum spanning tree respectively based on ST and pST types.Results In 79 VPH strains,gene tlh was positive while 8.86%(7 /79)of the isolates of gene tdh were positive.The carrying rate of gene orf8 was 8.86%.These 79 strains were of 69 ST types,involving 3 clonal complex and 62 singleton.By amino acid(AA)-multilocus sequence typing(MLST),79 strains covered the 23 pST types,2 clonal complexes and 1 singleton.The 363 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)were divided into 68 patterns.Conclusion VPH strains from aquatic products in eastern coastal areas of China are characterized by high polymorphisms and a low carrying rate of virulence genes.ST3 type is dominating when MLST typing is used while pST1 type is the majority by AA-MLST typing.

Objective To explore the impact of Th17 cells adoptive immunity on tumor growth of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL)-bearing mice.Methods The CD4+ CD62L+ na(i)ve T cells purified by Mini MACS immunomagnetic beads were stimulated under the condition of TGF-β, IL-6, anti-IFN-γ, anti-IL-4, IL-23.IL-17 expression was detected by ELISA.SCID mice were inoculated with DLBCL cells line SUDHL-4 to estaldish the model of DLBCL-bearing mice, and then they received Th17 cells adoptive immunotherapy at the 0, 8 th or 18th day (3 groups in total, 5 mice pre-group).The tumor volume and the survival of tumor model were observed.Results Formation of tumor nodules in mice was observed at about the 8th day after the mice received the Th17 SUDHL-4 cells.The tumors volume of DLBCL-bearing mice that had received Th17 cells adoptive immunotherapy was obviously smaller than that of the mice had not (P ＜ 0.05).The survival time of the tumor-bearing mice that had received Th17 cells adoptive immunotherapy was also longer than that of the tumor-bearing mice had not (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Th17 cells adoptive immunotherapy displays an anti-tumor effect on DLBCL-bearing mice.

This study was aimed to analyze the living status and medication rules of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment of postoperative patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer by Prof. Y ang Y ufei. A total of 70 postoperative patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer were enrolled in the cohort study at the Xiyuan Hospital from September 2007 to August 2009. The out-patient records were reviewed and follow-ups were given for the analysis. The results showed that until July 2013, the loss to follow-up rate was 8.6%, which was less than 15%. The four-year postoperative recurrence and metastasis rates of the high and low exposure group were 7.1% and 25.0%, respectively. The Fisher exact probability test showed that the high exposure and long period therapy of TCM treatment can significantly reduce the recurrence and metastasis rate of patients (P < 0.05). The analysis of Prof. Y ang Y ufei's medication rules in TCM treatment of postoperative colorectal cancer showed that the syndrome differ-entiation pattern with the highest frequency was spleen-stomach deficiency pattern; and the liver-kidney yin defi-ciency pattern was in the second place. The prescriptions used with the highest frequency were Si-Jun-Zi Decoction and Liu-Wei-Di-Huang Decoction. It was concluded that the comprehensive TCM treatment can improve the prog-nosis of stage II and III colorectal cancer. The treatment also has certain meaning in the reducing of the recurrence and metastasis rate of patients, and prolonging the time of the recurrence and metastasis.

Objective To find out more about the population structure and clonal complex of clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains in Asia.Methods Clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains data were screened in Asia with complete ST and pST types from PubMLST public database,their subgroup and complex were analyzed,and the minimum spanning tree based on ST and pST types respectively was completed.Results From the database,341 items of ST and pST types of Asian clinical Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains were screened,including 157 ST,most of which were of ST3 type.Totally 214 items of data came from China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan),and covered 133 ST,most of which were of ST3 type.eBURST software was used and 17 groups and 94 singletons were found.Software STRUCTURE analysis showed that the appropriate subset number of clinical V.parahaemolyticus strains in Asia was 7,and that the average distance between samples in each subgroup was 0.9113.Conclusion Clinical V.parahaemolyticus strains in Asia show high diversity and can be subdivided into seven subgroups.ST3 type is dominating when multilocus sequence typing(MLST)is used and pST2 type is the majority by AA-MLST typing.

Objective To evaluate retrospectively the image quality and detection of nodules with low-dose chest computed tomography (LDCT)by photon detector and iterative reconstruction (IR).Methods Sixty-six patients with lung nodules underwent routine LDCT with image reconstruction using filtered back projection (FBP).These patients were followed up by LDCT with photon detector 6 months later with image reconstruction using FBP and SAFIRE.Image quality and detection rate of the nodules were compared among groups including routine LDCT,photon decector+FBP and photon Decector+IR groups.Results Noise was decreased and SNR was increased in turn for routine LDCT,photon detector+FBP and photon detector +IR,exhibiting statistical differences (all P<0.001).The CT image quality score among routine LDCT,photon decector+ FBP and photon decector+ IR groups were increased in turn with statistical differences (χ2 =32.65,P<0.001).132 lung solid nodules (SN)were all identified in three groups with average diameter of (5.13±1.49)mm, (5.1 1±1.57)mm and (5.08±1.54)mm,respectively,and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05).14 ground glass nodules (GGN )in routine LDCT group and 15 in other two groups were identified with the average diameter of (6.44±1.86)mm, (7.23±1.74)mm and (7.31±1.68)mm,respectively.The ability of routine LDCT to detect the GGNs was lower than that of the others.Conclusion Photon detector and IR are able to decrease image noise,improve image quality,and increase detection rate and measurement accuracy of GGN.
