Objective To determine the effect of cheA gene of Helicobacter pylori in the bacterial chemotaxis in vitro and colonization in vivo. Methods The entire cheA and cheY genes were amplified and cloned from genomic DNA of H. pylori NCTC11637 strain. Subsequently, the prokaryotic expression systems of cheA and cheY genes were generated and the target recombinant proteins rCheA and rCheY were extracted by Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. Rabbits were immunized with either rCheA or rCheY for obtaining antisera, and rCheA-IgG and rCheY-IgG in the antisera were prepared using ammonium sulfate precipitation plus DEAE-52 column chromatography. A suicide plasmid of cheA gene was constructed and then a cheA gene knock-out mutant ( cheA - ) was generated based on homologous recombinant exchange using the suicide plasmid. The cheA- mutant was identified using PCR and sequencing. The phosphorylation levels of CheA and CheY molecules of cheA - and wild-type strain were determined by using rCheA-IgG and rCheY-IgG anchoring the target proteins and protein phosphorylation detection kit. The differences of chemotaxis in vitro and colonization in vivo between cheA- mutant and wild-type strain were compared using chemotactic model and BALB/c infection model of H. pylori. Results The cheA gene knock-out in genome of cheA- mutant was confirmed by the results of PCR and sequencing. After treated with 0. 001-0. 1 mol/L HCI for 10 min, the phosphorylation levels of CheA and CheY molecules of wild-type strain were rapidly descended from ( 59.6 ±11.5) μmol and (55.5 ± 10.2) μmol to ( 10.8 ± 2.6) and (5. 5 ± 1.2) μmol (P < 0.05 ), while the phosphorylation of CheY molecule of cheA - mutant was no markedly changed with a persistent lower level ( P >0.05). The diameters [(10-20) ± (2-3) mm] of chemotactic aggregative rings of cheA- mutant were significantly less than those [(16-24) ± (2-3)mm] of wild-type strain (P <0.05). The positive isolation rate (90%) of H. pylori in gastric biopsy specimens of mice that infected with wild-type strain was remarkably higher than that (40%) of mice that infected with cheA- mutant (P <0.05). The result of fluorescence quantitative was also showed that the numbers (6.3 × 103 ±2.1 × 103 copies/mg) of H. pylori in gastric biopsy specimens of wild-type strain infected mice were significantly larger than those (8.3 × 101 ±3. 1 × 101 copies/mg) in gastric biopsy specimens ofcheA- mutant infected mice (P<0.05). Conclusion The cheA gene of H. pylori has an important role in the bacterial chemotaxis in vitro and colonization in vivo.

Objective To evaluate the value of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) in the diagnosis of elderly femoral arterial pseudo aneurysm and treating with ultrasound-guided compression after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Methods Twenty-six elderly patients who were found a mass and/or vascular murmur in the puncture region were examined by CDFI, and the results of CDFI were proven by clinic and MRI. All pseudo aneurysms were repaired by CDFI guidance to compress simply and/or injecting directly batroxobin into the pseudo aneurysm lumen combined with compression.Results Pseudo aneurysms were diagnosed definitely by CDFI in 26 cases,and the accuracy rate was 100%. Twenty-two cases were repaired with CDFI guidance to compress simply and percutaneously injection of batroxobin into the pseudo aneurysm lumen combined with compression occurred in 3 cases. One case was cured by surgery after failing to be repaired with CDFI guidance. Conclusions CDFI has an important diagnosis value of pseudo aneurysm after PTCA. The method of CDFI guidance compression and batroxobin injection for repairing pseudo aneurysm is simple, safe and effective.

BACKGROUND: Up to now, few studies related to the mechanism of low-frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in relieving pain, and the effect of low-frequency TENS on the activity potential of dorsal horn cells in rats after peripheral nerve injury. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of low-frequency TENS on the activity potential of dorsal horn cells induced by mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia by using animal models of peripheral nerve injury, and observe the efficacy after interfering of naloxone. DESIGN: A randomized control animal study. SETTING: Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College, Yanbian University. MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the central laboratory of Medical College, Yanbian University between February and October 2004. Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were used, and 60 random selected ones were operated to separate sciatic nerve, two branch tibial nerves and sural nerves of sciatic nerve were amputated after ligation, and peroneal nerve was left as the experimental group; the other 20 rats were placed at the origin after sciatic nerve was separated, and then the skin was sutured as the control group. METHODS: ① Pain detection (Behavioral test): At 1 week postoperatively, the rats were given mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia once every 5 seconds for 10 times, and then the frequency of foot withdrawal was detected (0%-40% for mild pain, 40%-70% for moderate pain; 70% and above for severe pain). ② The spontaneous activity potential of dorsal horn cells and that induced by mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia were detected among the rats with moderate and severe pain in the control group and study group. ③ Low-frequency TENS of 3 mA and 10 Hz was applied to the legs of rats in the experimental group with annular electrode for 10 minute, and the membrane potential of dorsal horn cell was detected before and after stimulation. ④ At the same time of low-frequency TENS was given, rats in the experimental group were injected with naloxone via audal vein, and the membrane potential of dorsal horn cell was detected before and at 10 minutes after naloxone injection.RESULTS: Finally 80 rats were involved in the analysis of results after compensation. ① The foot withdrawal frequencies induced by mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia in the experimental group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). ② The membrane potential of dorsal horn cell by mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia in the experimental group were obviously higher than those in the control group (P < 0.01). ③ The membrane potential of dorsal horn cell by mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia at 10 minutes after low-frequency TENS in the experimental group were obviously higher than those in the control group [(102.6±0.9), (136.9±1.46) impulses per 10 seconds; (175.2±1.28), (240.8±1.51) impulses per 10 seconds, P < 0.01]. ④ In the experimental group, the membrane potential of dorsal horn cell by mechanical allodynia and thermal allodynia at 10 minutes after naloxone injection were obviously higher than those before injection [(174.5±0.4), (235.4±1.4) impulses per 10 seconds, P < 0.01].CONCLUSION: Low-frequency TENS can effectively inhibit the activity potential of spinal dorsal horn cells induced by non-noxious stimulation,and the intravenous injection of naloxone (8 mg/kg) can recover it to the pretreatment level, indicating that low-frequency TENS may alleviate pain by stimulating central nervous system to make it secrete endogenous opium system, and acting on spinal dorsal horn cells to reduce the activity.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of bladder hemangio-ma. Methods The clinical data of 12 patients with bladder hemangioma were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed in com-bination with relevant literature. Results Ten patients were treated with partial cystectomy,and two patients treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT). All patients were diagnosed as the bladder hemangioma by postoperative pathology. Patients were followed up from 4 months to 6 years. There were no recurrence and metastasis in all cases. Conclu-sion Bladder hemangioma is a rare benign tumor, which can be preliminarily diagnosed by combinating with medical imag-ing. The final diagnosis depends on the pathological examination. Treatment options should rely on the factual situations. The partial cystectomy is the first choice for the treatment of bladder hemangioma. The prognosis is good.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the applications of percutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures and its related surgical considerations.
METHODSFrom June 2010 to June 2012,19 patients with pelvic fractures were treated with percutaneous hollow screws. There were 13 males and 6 females, with an average age of 41 years (ranged from 22 to 58 years). Fractures were caused by traffic accidents in 11 cases, by falling down from high place in 8 cases. Based on the Tile classification, there were 15 cases of Tile C type and 4 case of Tile B type. The indexes such as screw inserting time, intraoperative blood loss, complications, functional recovery and reduction conditions were observed. Fixation methods included sacroiliac screws, cannulated screw fixation of the pubic ramus and cannulated screw fixation of the pubic symphysis separation.
RESULTSAnatomical reduction achieved in 7 cases, satisfactory reduction 11 cases, and unsatisfactory reduction 1 case. Union time of fracture union ranged from 8 to 12 weeks (mean 10 weeks). Wound infection,ununion of fracture and nerve injuries were not found. According to the Majeed standards, 12 patients obtained an excellent results, 6 good and 1 fair.
CONCLUSIONPercutaneous screw fixation for the treatment of pelvic fractures under fluoroscopy has several advantages such as less trauma, less blood loss, fewer rates of complications, reliable fixation and no blood transfusion, which can reconstruct the stability of the pelvic ring, but it needs adequate preoperative preparation and high requirements for the surgeon.
