1.PURIFICATION OF HUMAN SPERMATOZOA ANTIGEN HS 63 AND ITS ANTIFERTILITY EFFECT
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1955;0(03):-
Conservative sperm acrosomal antigens that react with a monoclonal sperm antibody against human spermatozoa HS63 were purified by immunoaffinity chromatography from rabbit testes. The purity and the molecular weight of the purified antigens were determined by SDS acrylamide gel electrophoresis. There is only a band on the acrylamide gel. The molecular weight is more than 60000. It is found that the antigen is a glycoprotein with the carbohydrate moiety of 17%. Following successive immunization antisera of high titers were raised and shown to react specifically with antigens on sperm acrosome, but not with any somatic cells as judged. By using mouse in vitro fertilization experiments and sperm penetration assay with zona-free hamster ova, the isoimmune sera from rabbit exhibited high degrees of fertilization inhibition as compared to the control sera. The results suggest that sperm-specific antigen reactive to HS63 may be a good candidates for the development of immunocontraceptive vaccines in humans.

Objective To study the relationships between retinal microvascular disease and acute coronary event (ACE) among aged people. Methods A controlled study for senile people in communities was conducted. Xinglong Zhuang Coal Mine Community in Jining city, Shandong province was chosen to carry out the study, and the residents in that area aged≥60 years were asked to take questionnaire survey, physical and laboratory examinations. There were 139 cases met the diagnostic criteria of ACE being in the observation group, and 1 509 cases without ACE were assigned in the control group. The gender, age, smoking, alcohol intake, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, education, physical exercise, retinal microvascular disease, fasting blood-glucose, high density lipoprotein cholesterin (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterin (LDL-C), triacylglycerol (TG), systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, body mass index (BMI) were collected in the two groups to perform univariate analysis. Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis was used for the factors with statistical significance to screen out the independent risk factors that could affect the occurrence of ACE. Results The univariate analysis showed:the risk factors that might cause the occurrence of ACE included age, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, LDL-C, systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, BMI, and retinal microvascular disease (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the ACE patients of observation group, the rates of presence of arteriovenous crossing sign [44.6%(62/139) vs. 27.8%(419/1 509)], hard exudates [9.4%(13/139) vs. 4.9%(74/1 509)] and cotton-wool patches [19.4%(27/139) vs. 7.3%(110/1 509)] in retinal microvascular disease were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The logistic regression analysis showed:age [P=0.002, odds ratio (OR)=1.06, 95%confidence interval (95%CI)=1.04-1.09], smoking (P=0.032, OR=2.17, 95%CI=2.04-2.30), retinal microvascular disease (P = 0.010, OR = 2.33, 95%CI = 0.97 - 1.27), hypertension (P < 0.001, OR = 5.21, 95%CI=4.11-6.36), diabetes mellitus (P=0.021, OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.01-1.05) and LDL-C (P=0.020, OR=2.80, 95%CI = 2.65 - 2.99) were the independent risk factors for the occurrence of ACE. Conclusions Retinal microvascular disease is the independent risk factor for the occurrence of ACE. The retinal angiography can be a useful examination to forecast ACE.

Objective: To investigate mandibular movement characteristics in patients with skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion during chewing different foods. Methods: 14 skeletal class Ⅲ adult patients with mandibular asymmetry, 10 patients without mandibular asymmetry and 10 normal control cases were chosen to find out the different condylar and incisor movement area ratio based on the aid of ARCUSdigma mandibular moving track analysis system. Results: First,during chewing soft food, the condylar tracing length of skeletal class Ⅲ adult patients with mandibular asymmetry were significant different in sagittal and horizontal plane compared with the other two groups(P<0.05), while the incisor point trajectory difference was not statistically significant. Second, the condylar and incisor movement characteristic showed much more different among three samples during chewing brittle food(P<0.05). Third, in sagittal plane, the deflective condylar movement area ratio was significantly higher than that of the other two groups during chewing hand food(P<0.01). Conclusion: The mandibular movement in skeletal class Ⅲ adult patients are affected obviously by the shape and texture of food. Asymmetric lower mandible patients have a greater preponderance of this phenomenon.

10.The differentiation of malignant and benign lesions of the breast by quantitative Ultrasound elastography
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2016;29(8):836-840
Objective The widely use of ultrasound elastography has increased the detection rate of breast cancer.It has great advantage of differential diagnosis of breast tumor.Our study is to evaluate and compare the value of the quantitative ultrasound elastography parameters of AR ( area ratio) , ESR ( entire strain ratio) , LSR ( locolized strain ratio) , EFLR( entire fat to lesion ratio) and LFLR( locolized fat to lesion ratio) in the differential diagnosis of breast tumor. Methods 110 patients with 113 breast tumors were collected from Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Region between January 2015 and January 2016 who underwent breast exami-nation.The tumors were divided into two groups according to patholo-gy which acts as gold standard:benign group with 59 lesions and ma-lignant group with 54 lesions.Participants underwent quantitative ul-trasound elastography parameters examination.AR、ESR、LSR、EFLR、LFLR were compared between benign group and malignant group and ROC curve was drawn.Conventional ultrasound and ultrasound elastography parameter are combined to differentiate the benign or malignant lesion.Calculate the various parameters on the accuracy、susceptibility、specificity、positive likelihood ratio、negative likeli-hood ratio of the diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions, and determine the quantitative parameter with the highest accuracy. Results The mean value of AR、ESR、LSR、EFLR and LFLR of malignant lesions were all significantly greater than that of benign le-sions (P=0.000).Compared with the conventional ultrasound, AR、ESR、LSR、EFLR and LFLR have higher AUC in the differentia-tion of benign and malignant breast lesions;AUC of AR and ESR are higher than conventional ultrasound、LSR、EFLR and LFLR( P<0.000).Compared with conventional ultrasound(1.523) alone, conventional ultrasound combined separately with AR、ESR、EFLR and LFLR have higher positive likelihood ratio(11.581、8.272、3.482、2.458、2.100) in the differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions, so as accuracy、susceptibility、specificity(P<0.000).The AUC of conventional ultrasound combined separately with AR and ESR[0.940(0.890~0.990)、0.941(0.891~0.990)] were higher than conventional ultrasound and conventional ultrasound com-bined separately with LSR、EFLR、LFLR[0.669(0.669~0.768)、0.837(0.759~0.915)、0.763(0.673~0.852)、0.787(0.701~0.874)],so as accuracy、susceptibility、specificity and positive likelihood ratio(P<0.000). Conclusion Quantitative ultrasound elastography may be helpful in differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions, especially combining conventional ultrasound with AR and ESR, which were superior to combining with the other parameters and provide a more objective and credible basis to differenti-ate benign and malignant breast tumors with conventional ultrasound.
