Objective To investigate the clinical effect of pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of fracture and dislocation of atlantoaxial spine via posterior approach .Methods 19 patients with fracture and dislocation of atlantoaxial spine in this hospital from June 2011 to December 2013 were selected and treated with open reduction and pedicle screw fixation via posterior approach . The X‐radiographs were postoperatively re‐examined at regular time for understanding the correction of fracture and dislocation and implant fusion results ,the neurological functions were evaluated according to the Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA) scores . Results All cases got bony fusion without the occurrence of internal fixation loosening ,broken screw or broken rod .The JOA score was improved from preoperative (7 .35 ± 2 .39) points to postoperative (13 .21 ± 2 .53) points (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The posteri‐or atlantoaxial pedicle screw fixation and fusion for treating upper cervical spine injury has satisfactory effect .

The expressing cassette, LoxP-CMV-gpt-IRES-LoxP( about 2.9kb), was amplified by PCR from a plasmid, pIRES-gpt, by use of the primers , which contained the loxP sites in 5' terminals, respectively. The loxP sites were designed into primers by the software of Primer primer 5.0. Then the cassette was cloned into the site of BalI in pBUS10 to obtain pUS-gptIRES(L). The sequencing analysis for pUS-gptIRES(L) indicated that two loxP sites with the same direction were correctly inserted into pUS-gptIRES(L).The gpt gene in pUS-gptIRES(L) was replaced by a fragment including the full length GFP gene as well as SV40 poly A sequence to get pUS-GFPIRES(L). pUS-GFPIRES(L) was transiently transfected into CHO cell lines, and then the green fluorescence could be seen, the results showed that GFP gene could be expressed correctly. Moreover, pUS-GFPIRES(L) was transfected into the CEF infected MDV CVI988 strain and recombinant virus was selected by the green fluorescence. The growth curve of virus showed the characteristic of recombinant virus was the same as that of CVI988 in vitro. These results give the basis for further studying the characteristic of MDV in vivo and the application of the Cre/LoxP system to MDV genome.

Through morphological observation, HE staining, TRAP staining and toluidine blue staining of bone resorption pits to identify osteoclasts which obtained by 1α, 25-(OH)2 VitD3 inducing rabbit bone marrow cells. Three indicators-TRAP staining, TRAP enzyme activity detecting and the number and area of bone resorption pits were adapted to detect the effect of Sargentodoxae caulis on the activity of osteoclasts. Culturing MC3T3-E1 Subclong 14 cells and detecting the effect of S. caulis on differentiation and proliferation of them by MTT and detecting the alkaline phosphatase in cells. The results show that all of the low, middle and high doses of water and alcohol extracts of S. caulis have significant inhibition on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption ability in a dose-dependent manner. The low and middle doses of water and alcohol extracts of S. caulis can stimulate differentiation and proliferation of MC3T3-ElSubclone 14 cells, which indicates S. caulis can prevent osteoporosis and the function could be achieved by inhibiting osteoclast activity and promoting the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts.

AlM: To investigate the effect of endocapsular phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens (lOL) implantation with a 1. 8mm or 3. 0mm clear corneal incision on total root mean square ( RMS ) value of the cornea, corneal astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma, trefoil and tear film.
METHODS:ln a prospective study, 156 age- related patients ( 196 eyes ) were randomly distributed into two groups. 1. 8mm-group comprised 94 eyes that had a silicone lOL inserted through a 1. 8mm sutureless clear corneal incision, while, 3. 0mm- group comprised 102 eyes through a 3. 0mm clear corneal incision. Postoperatively, the changes in the total RMS value of the cornea, corneal astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma, trefoil and tear film at 1wk, 1 and 3mo were determined respectively.
RESULTS:ln both groups, postoperatively at 1wk,there were statistically significant differences ( P<0. 05 ) in the total RMS value of the cornea, corneal astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma, trefoil and tear film, while, there were statistically minimal differences ( P< 0. 05 ) between 1. 8mm-group and 3. 0mm-group at 1mo, but were not statistically significantly different ( P > 0. 05 ) between two groups at 3mo postoperative.
CONCLUSlON:This study confirms that incision size has strong impact on the corneal higher-order aberrations, especially, 3. 0mm incision caused significant differences in the total RMS value of cornea, corneal astigmatism, spherical aberration, coma, trefoil and tear film compared with 1. 8mm micro-incision, therefore, micro-incision is very beneficial for clinical use in phacoemulsification.

Two fragments G1 and G2 of the glycoprotein G gene of bovine respiratory syncytial virus(BRSV) were selected for expression in Escherichia coli based on the analysis of glycoprotein G by DNA Star software.Then the two fragments of glycoprotein G were amplified by PCR with synthesized G gene of BRSV as the template.The amplified fragments G1 and G2 are 570bp and 308bp in length,respectively.The PCR products were cloned into pET30a vector and expressed in soluble form in E.coli after induction of cultured E.coli with IPTG.Both of the recombinant proteins G1 and G2 were purified by immobilized Ni ion affinity chromatography under native conditions.Then the purified proteins were analysed by Western blotting.The results showed that the purified recombinant protein G1 retained good antigenicity and specificity.But the purified recombinant protein G2 didn't possess biological activity.Antibodies against BRSV were detected in suspected bovine serum samples in China by using indirect ELISA and Western blotting with the purified recombinant protein G1.The purified recombinant protein G1 might be used as antigen for establishing serological methods for diagnosis of BRSV infection.And the purified recombinant protein G1 might also be used for preparing polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies for research on biological functions of glycoprotein G of BRSV.

Objective To summarize the experience of the therapy and diagnosis of thoracictuberculosis. Methods Diagnosis and operation of 163 cases of thoracictuberculosis were analyzed.Results 163 cases of thoracic- tuberculosis were treated with focuspurge upon two weeks' anti-tuberculosis treatment.153 cases were cured upon one operation.10 cases suffered incision delayed healing and there were no recurrence cases.Conclusion Thoraeictu- berculosis was treated with focuspurge upon two weeks anti-tuberculosis treatment before operation.Complete purge of focus and postoperative compression band and residual cavity filled with music flap were important measures to prevent incision delayed healing and recurrence.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms modulating the functions of dendritic cells (DCs) and suppressing the activation and proliferation of T cells by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β).Methods Mouse splenic DCs were purified with CD11c+ immunomagnetic beads and the purity of isolated DCs were detected by flow cytometry.Gene chip was used to detect gene expression in DCs after stimulation with TGF-β, and then real-time PCR was performed to analyze the differentially expressed genes in microarray at mRNA level.The activation and proliferation of CD4+ T cells which were co-cultured with DCs after stimulation with TGF-β were detected by flow cytometry.Results The purity of DCs reached over 95% after isolation.TGF-β down-regulated the expression of cell surface markers CD53, CD69, CD33, CD74 and CD93 on DCs;decreased the expression of chemokines Ccl3, Ccl5, Ccl9, Ccl6, Ccl17, Cxcl10, Ccl22, Ccl4, Ccr7, Ccl2, Cxcl9 and Ccl7;inhibited the expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-2ra, IL-12rb2, IL-15ra, IL-1b and IL-15.Moreover, the DCs-mediated activation and proliferation of CD4+ T cells were suppressed by TGF-β.Conclusion TGF-β inhibits the DCs-mediated activation and proliferation of CD4+ T cells by suppressing the expression of surface markers on DCs and down-regulating the expression of chemokines and inflammatory cytokines.
