Objective:To establish a method for the selection of phage antibodies(Phabs) with higher affinity.Methods:Simulant libraries were constructed using anti keratin and anti HBsAg Phabs with different affinities.During the panning procedure,thiocanate solutions of different concentrations were used as elution buffers to favor the recovery of Phabs with higher affinities.The recovered Phabs were identified by restriction enzyme mapping.Results:All the tested Phabs were proved tolerant to thiocyanate treatment.By panning the simulant libraries,the ratio of Phabs with higher affinity in the obtained clones were increased alonging with the increase of NH 4SCN concentrations.Conclusion:Thiocyanate elution is a powerful and effective method to help obtain the Phabs with high affinity from phage antibody library.

Objective To evaluate the immunological effect of neonatal hepatitis B vaccine and to prevent the immunization effect of low and no responders. Methods A total of 1,200 infants were selected from Yantai City, Shandong Province. All the infants were immunized for the first time after birth, and were inoculated with brewer's yeast hepatitis B vaccine 5μg. The venous blood of the infant was taken to separate the serum and the geometric mean concentration of anti-HBs in serum by using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Of which 128 cases were low, no response were immunized again: 71 cases were treated with brewer's yeast hepatitis B vaccine 5μg and 57 cases were inoculated with 10%Hansenula hepatitis B vaccine again and again, three times. The results of the re-immune were evaluated . Results There were 80 cases (62.5%) wtith normal response, 23 cases (17.9%) with high response, 22 cases (17.2%) with low response, 3 cases (2.3%) with no response The immunization response rate of HBsAg positive in fathers and mothers was significantly lower than that in county, city and above, and the fathers' mother HBsAg was negative. There was no significant difference in the positive rate of antibody transfection between the first and the third of the above two yeasts, but the geometric mean concentration of anti-HBs was significantly lower for both vaccines, and the brewer's yeast vaccine was significantly lower. Conclusion The immune response rate of hepatitis B vaccine in children with HBsAg-negative mothers at the county, municipal and above hospitals is relatively high. Compared with the brewer's yeast vaccine, the effect of the hepatitis B vaccine is obviously better .

Objective To produce humanized anti-keratin antibodies with high affinity. Methods Panning of phage antibody libraries against human epidermal keratin was conducted to select specific antibodies. Random mutation method and chain-shuffling technique for the gene of the antibodies were employed to improve antibody affinity. The binding activity, specificity and affinity of the obtained antibodies were de-termined and analyzed. Results Four clones of either IgG or IgM anti-keratin antibodies were seleeted from semisynthetic or natural antibody libraries. One of them was seleeted to undergo affinity maturation. Random mutation method for the gene did not result in any improvement in antibody affinity. By chain-shuffling technique, however, affinity level was markedly increased and an antibody with affinity of 8?1010/M was isolated. Conclusion It is feasible to generate humanized antikeratin antibodies using genetical engineering technique.

Objective To study the recent clinical efficacy of compound matrine injections combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods Totally 65 cases of untreated locally advanced gastric cancer were randomly divided into treatment group (33 cases) and control group (32 cases). The control group was treated by the conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy. On the basis of the control group, the treatment group was given compound matrine injections 20 mL/time, once a day for 5 weeks. The recent curative effect, the quality of life and adverse reaction of the two groups were observed. Results The recent curative effect rate of the treatment group was 66.67% (22/33), the control group was 40.63% (13/32), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.031). On hematologic toxicity, leukopenia occurred in the treatment group was 30.30% (10/33), the control group was 65.63% (21/32), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.004). KPS of 26 cases (78.79%) improved in the treatment, and 18 cases (56.25%) improved in the control group. Conclusion The effects of compound matrine injections combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer are good, they can improve short-term efficacy, reduce side effects, and improve the quality of life.

Objective To study the clinical, imageological and pathologic characters of primary synovial chondromatosis of hip joint, and effect of open surgery. Method 12 cases of primary synovial chondromatosis of the hip joints admitted from May 1973 to May 2004 were retrospectively studied in respect to clinical manifestations, X-ray picture, and pathological findings. The effects of operation were followed up. Results Intermittent pain, swelling, limitation of hip joints were the main complaints. Mass and myatrophy near involved hip joint were discernible in a few patients. Although there was no obvious image of calcification, swelling of articular capsule was seen in X-ray film in 4 patients. CT scan showed arthroedema, loose bodies and bone erosion of the femoral head in the hip joint. The X-ray films of the other 8 patients showed obvious calcified loose bodies. All cases were diagnosed by pathology after operations. 8 cases were categorized Milgram Ⅱstage, and 4 cases Milgram Ⅲ stage. Eight patients were followed-up for a period of 1 to 7 years (mean 5 years). Recurrence occurred in 2 cases. Conclusion The diagnosis should be based on clinical characters, X-ray films and pathologic findings, and the pathology is most reliable. In order to decrease recurrence, CT or MRI examinations should be taken before the operation. X-ray monitoring should be carried out during the operation of the patient in whom loose bodies were found in X-ray film before the operation.
