Aim To express hepatitis C virus glycoprotein E (gE) deleting carboxy-terminal 31 amino acids, and detect anti-E antibody in HCV patients using expressed gE. Methods E gene derived from HCV H strain was inserted into baculovirus transfer vector containing a polyhedrin promotor. The recombinant plasmid was cotransfected into insect cell sf9 with a viral expression vector. The expression of gE was analyzed with Western blot, and the cells were used for dectecting antibodies against E1 and E2 in 35 hepatitis C patients by indirect immunofluorescence. Results A series of proteins with different relative molecular masses(Mr) could be detected by Western blot. Results from indirect immunofluorescence staining showed and only 4 patients were anti-E antibody positive gE was located in cytoplasm. Conclusion HCV gE is expressed successfully in insect cells, the study lay the foundation for further developing HCV vaccine.

The authors summarize Professor SHI Qi's clinical experience in diagnosing and treating chronic tendon and bone disease.The specific diagnosing and treating thinking and methods could be summarized as follows:1)Three stages,which means chronic tendon and bone disease could be treated according to early,medium and late stages.2) Three differentiations,which include differentiating disease,type and syndrome.3) Three examining,which include seeing patient clearly,reading the disease and getting the key point.In addition,Prof.SHI emphasizes threepoint syndrome differentiation which means the combination of the lesion's target,peri-target and whole syndrome characteristics differentiation.In the process of treatment,Prof.SHI emphasizes three methods combination of herb,technique and breathing technique.Both internal and external treatments should be used.Prof.SHI advocates that the control strategy should be the prevention,treatment and recuperation integration concept,including preventing disease,early treatment to prevent deterioration and preventing reoccurrence after cure.

Analysis is made to the necessary of interdisciplinary,and point four sections should be concerned when begin to construct the interdisciplinary in general hospital which are short term profits and long term culture,personal development and team building,the passion of the young and the leadership of the old,the cooperation with the science and engineering and the communicate with the humanities.At last it also lists the steps and main points on how to begin the construction of interdisciplinary in general hospital.

Objective To investigate the changes of plasma somatostatin(SS) and its correlation with cellular immune function in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods Fifty cases of HIE were collected to detect the SS and T lymphocyte subsets,IL-2,sIL-2R as well as IL-6 levels by radioimmunoassay,APAAP and doule antibody sandwith ELISA methods.Results The SS and sIL-2R levels in patients with HIE were significantly higher(P

OBJECTIVETo search for a simple and effective surgical approach to the management of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children.

METHODSWe used Devine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum in the treatment of 68 cases of moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis. The patients were aged 3 -13 (mean 6.5) years, 30 with moderate and 38 with severe pediatric concealed penis.

RESULTSThis strategy achieved good near- and long-term effects and satisfactory appearance of the penis, which was similar to that of circumcision. At 3 months after surgery, the penile length was 3 - 5.2 cm, averaging (2.35 +/- 0.35) cm.

CONCLUSIONDevine's technique via incision between the penis and scrotum is a simple and effective surgical option for moderate to severe pediatric concealed penis in children.

According to the situation in hospital, this study investigate the the selection and training System for junior to senior faculty in terms of its guiding principles, funding, and initial achievement. The study concluded that the system is helpful for the researchers to foster research consciousness and accumulate experiences, and it also improves the overall quality of junior faculties.

Objective To study the outcomes of selective reduction of triplet pregnancy by assisted reproductive technology. Methods The clinical data of 31 women who succeeded in conception by vitro fertilization-embryo transfer in the third affiliated hospital of Guangzhou Medical University were retrospectively investigated to analyze and compare the rates of abortion from triplet pregnancy, twin pregnancy and single pregnancy after selective reduction of triplet pregnancy, the incidence of pregnant complications, outcomes of perinatal period. Results There were no significant differences between triplet pregnancy and the twin and single pregnancy after selective reduction of triplet pregnancy in terms of pregnancy and parity time, fetal disease, premature rupture of membrane, severe eclampsism, gestational diabetes and postpartum hemorrhage (P>0.05). There were significant differences in gestational weeks, birth weight, rate of premature birth, rate of neonatal transfer to NICU and neonatal RDS: The gestational time in the triplet group longer than the groups of twin pregnancy and single pregnancy after selective reduction of triplet pregnancy (P<0.05). (37.3 ± 1.9) vs. (35.2 ± 0.9), (32.6 ± 2.3), respectively), the rate of premature birth dropped (100%vs. 100%, 33.3%, respectively), the body weight was increased (1 707 ± 360.4)g vs. (2 066.1 ± 307.5)g, (2 712.5 ± 514.1)g, respectively and the neonatal complication rate was reduced (P<0.05). Conclusion The selective reduction of multiple pregnancy may decrease the risk of premature birth and reduce the rate of lower body weight of neonates, improving the pregnancy outcomes, but the higher rate of abortion at the early or middle course of pregnancy after selective reduction is worth our attention.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the promoter of IL-12B gene polymorphism and the susceptibility and clinical features of chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcer with or without Helicobacter pylori(Hp) infection in children and adolescent.Methods Mucosal biopsies were obtained from 132 children and adolescent (patient group),including 100 children with chronic gastritis and 32 children with duodenal ulcer,undergoing an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy for dyspeptic symptoms.Biopsy specimens were stained with hematoxilin and eosin (HE),and gastritis was graded according to the Sydney system.Serology,urease test and histology were taken to assess Hp status.Genomic DNA was obtained from peripheral blood or gastric biopsies of patients and 102 healthy children as normal control group.The promoter of IL-12B +1188A/G gene polymorphism was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and sequencing.The genotype distributions and allele frequencies were compared between the study group and the normal control group,and the association of genotypes with clinicopathological features was studied.IL-12B mRNA level expressions in gastric mucosa were confirmed by reverse transcription PCR biopsy-based tests.Results The genotype distributions and allele frequencies of IL-12B +1188A/G gene polymorphisms were similar in gastric upper gastrointestinal diseases and healthy subjects.The IL-12B +1188A/G gene polymorphisms were not associated with Hp status.IL-12B+1188A/G gene polymorphisms did not affect IL-12B mRNA level expressions and were not associated with the degree of antrum chronic inflammation.Conclusions These data suggest that IL-12B+1188A/G gene polymorphisms are not associated with susceptibility to chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcer in children and adolescent.

Objective To analyze the correlation of acquired pneumonia in patients receiving ICU mechanical ventilation and omeprazole use time.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with ICU receiving mechanical ventilation were randomized chosen to receive omeprazole treatment for 3, 5, 7, 15 d.Gastric pH value, stress ulcer incidence , ventilator associated pneumonia incidence , infection dominant flora were compared;correlation of acquired pneumonia and the omeprazole use time was analyzed.Results 3 d group, 5 d group, 7 d group, 15 d group gastric juice pH were respectively ( 1.53 ±0.31 ) , ( 2.74 ±0.74 ) , (5.21 ±1.23 ) , ( 6.42 ±1.42 ); the incidences of stress ulcer were 16.67%, 13.33%, 10.00%, 3.33%;the incidence of ventilator asso-ciated pneumonia were 26.67%, 33.33%, 40%, 46.67%;ventilator-associated pneumonia and stress ulcer dominant flora compliance incidence rate was as high as 50%.Conclusion Omeprazole use of time is posi-tively correlated with gastric pH value , ventilator -associated pneumonia cases , and negatively correlated with the number of stress ulcer cases.
