Objective To explore the clinical effect of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) in the treatment of old unstable osteoporotic vertebral fracture.Methods Twenty cases of old unstable osteoporotic single vertebral body fracture were divided into the stable group and unstable group according to the imaging results,10 cases in each group.PVP was performed in all 20 cases.The VAS scores of waist bending activity at preoperative 30 min,postoperative 6 h,3,30 d were observed.The changes of anterior edge height of spinal body in the injured vertebral segment of erect position and horizontal position were compared before and after operation.Results The VAS score of waist bending at preoperative 30 min had statistical difference between the two groups (P＜0.05).Compared with at preoperative 30 min,the VAS scores at postoperative observation points in the two groups were significantly decreased with statistical difference (P＜0.05).The VAS scores at postoperative 6 h,3,30 d had no statistical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The changes of posterior edge height of spinal body in the stable groups had no statistical difference before and after operation (P＞0.05);the anterior edge height of spinal body after treatment in the unstable group were significantly changed compared with before operation,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Preoperative pain in the patients with unstable osteoporotic vertebral fracture is more obvious than that in the patients with stable osteoporotic vertebral fracture.But all have similar effect after PVP therapy;the postoperative height in unstable osteoporotic vertebral fracture can obtain a certain recovery after PVP.

Bispecific antibodies can target two different targets simultaneously with a wide application prospect and rapid development in tumor treatment. The main function is to recruit effector cells selectively in order to kill tumor cells or bind tumor-associated growth factor receptor to inhibit cell proliferation. This paper reviews the current situation of bispecific antibodies in design, mechanism of action and the research progress in the clinical cancer treatment.

Objective:To understand the current status of HIV self-testing reagent use in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and related factors in men who have sex with men (MSM).Methods:From December 2018 to December 2019, "Gold data" online platform (www.jinshuju.com) was used to conduct multicenter PrEP studies in Shenyang, Beijing, Chongqing and Shenzhen of China.Results:A total of 1 222 MSM PrEP users were included in the multicenter study. The average age of the participants was (31.5±8.7) years, and the number of sexual partners in the past three months was 3 ( P 25, P 75:2,6). The proportions of those who did not use condoms in anal sex with fixed, casual and commercial partners were 62.7% (456/727), 56.3% (440/781) and 41.0% (16/39), respectively. Up to 74.5% (910/1 222) of participants had used HIV self-testing reagents, and the number of HIV self-testing during last year was 3 ( P 25, P 75:2,5). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that compared with age group >40 years, those with education level of junior high school or below, those with psychological identity as female, event driven PrEP users, those never using new type drugs in past 3 months, the participants aged 18- years (a OR=2.06, 95% CI: 1.35-3.14), 26- years (a OR=2.72, 95% CI: 1.77-4.17), 31- years (a OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.19-2.59), undergraduates (a OR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.35-3.49), graduate students and above (a OR=3.06, 95% CI: 1.69-5.54), those with psychological identity as male (a OR=3.22, 95% CI: 1.55-6.70), daily PrEP users (a OR=1.35, 95% CI: 1.03-1.78), and new type drug users in the past three months (a OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.30-2.28) had higher proportions of HIV self-testing behaviors. Conclusions:The proportion of HIV self-testing in MSM PrEP users was high, while it was relatively low in older age group, event driven PrEP users and MSM never using new type drugs. To assess and improve the effectiveness and compliance of PrEPs, it is necessary to provide better HIV self-testing service for MSM with low HIV self-testing rate.

Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a key member of Glypican family and plays an important role in the development, angiogenesis and metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Most HCC overexpresses GPC3, but GPC3 is hardly detected in normal adult liver and benign liver lesions, so it is regarded as a highly specific diagnostic marker and an ideal therapeutic target for HCC. In this study, we cloned the heavy and light chain variable region gene from the monoclonal antibody targeted to GPC3 screened in the previous stage, and linked it with a segment of flexible peptide (Linker) to obtain the single chain antibody against GPC3. The single chain antibody gene was cloned into vector for prokaryotic expression and purified to obtain high purity protein. Detection shows that the single-chain antibody produced by us has the same binding activity with the full-length antibody, and can accurately target the tumor site of Huh7 tumor-bearing model mice after coupling Cy5.5 fluorescence, suggesting that the single-chain antibody has the potential to realize multi-directional liver cancer precise surgical navigation under the guidance of a probe.
