Objective To obtain the short peptides mimicking antigenic epitopes of Trichinella spiralis ( T\^s\^ ), and explore their cross protective immunity against Schistosoma japonicum ( S\^j. ) in mice. Methods IgG antibodies were purified from sera of mice infected with T\^s\^ . The purified IgG was used to immunoscreen a phage random peptide library of 7 amino\|acid residues displayed as a fusion to protein of filamentous phage. Positive clones were obtained by affinity selection, the reactivity of each clone binding to specific IgG was detected by ELISA. Kunming mice were immunized subcutaneously three times with mixed phage clones. The mice were sacrificed 45 days after challenge. The worms and the liver eggs were counted. Results After three rounds of panning, the relevant phages had been enriched approximately 150 times in production as compared to those from the first round. Of 24 phage clones randomly selected from the third round biopanning, 21 clones were shown to actually bind to the specific IgG. As compared with the control group, the worm and the liver egg reduction rates in vaccination group were 42\^8% and 66\^3% ( P

AIM:To investigate efficacy of ranibizumab combined with laser treatment for patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) and macular edema.METHODS: We selected 67 patients (67 eyes) with BRVO and macular edema in our hospital from March 2013 to June 2016, they were randomly divided into observation group (n=31) and control group (n=36).The observation group was treated with ranibizumab combined with laser treatment.The control group was treated with macular grid photocoagulation.We observed best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), centre macular thickness (CMT) and macular leakage of two groups.RESULTS: The BCVA of observation group at 1, 2 and 3mo after treatment were 0.41±0.07, 0.42±0.05 and 0.48±0.05, significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05).The CMT of observation group at 1, 2 and 3mo after treatment were 203.11±59.13μm, 201.41±56.22μm and 204.22±60.13μm, significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05).The blood vessel leakage of observation group at 3mo after treatment was significantly better than that of the control group (P<0.05).No leakage ratio in the observation group was 71%.There were no postoperative infection, aseptic endophthalmitis and other complications in the two groups.CONCLUSION: Ranibizumab combined with laser treatment in patients with BRVO and macular edema has better curative effect, can improve the visual acuity of patients, eliminate macular edema, and is safe and reliable.

Objective To investigate the aetiology of acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD),and the effects of moxifloxacin in the treatment of AECOPD.Methods Patients with stable COPD based on GOLD criteria were included in the study.Sputum collected at first exacerbation was analyzed for bacteria count and culture.IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-?were measured by enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Eligible patients were randomized to receive moxifloxacin (400 mg qd for 5 days) or ce- faclor (250 mg q8h for 7 days).Efficacy parameters were evaluated at 7 and 14 days after treatment initiation and 1 year later. Results Of the 46 patients with moderate or severe COPD (male 38,moderate 24),21 (45.65%) were microbiologically evalu- able at baseline.The main pathogen was Haemophilus influenzae (10/21).Clinical efficacy rate was 87.0% in moxifloxacin group and 82.6% in cefaclor group.Bacterial eradication rate was 80.0% and 72.7% respectively.The difference between groups was not statistically significant in terms of clinical or microbiological efficacy.In moxifloxacin arm,the frequency of ex- acerbation was 2.6?1.0,significantly lower than control arm (3.5?1.4,P

4 weeks of arrested embryos.The AAH expression was found to have the similar result as HIF-1?'s.Conclusions The expression level of HIF-1? and AAH in villi of missed abortion patients is much lower than that of normal early pregnant women.HIF-1? and AAH have a function of supporting normal pregnancy,so their low expression may be an important cause of missed abortion.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of recombinant mutant human tumor necrosis factor-α(rmhTNF-α) in combination with cisplatin on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.
Methods Human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 was treated with varying concentrations of rmhTNF-α (0.38, 0.75, 1.50, 6.00 and 12.00 IU/ml) or cisplatin (3.91, 7.81, 15.63, 31.25 and 62.50 μg/ml) for 24 hours. Viable cell number was analyzed by using crystal violet staining. The inhibitory rates of A549 cells growth by the two drugs were calculated. For analyzing whether there was a synergistic effect of rmhTNF-α with cisplatin, A549 cells were treated with 0.75 IU/ml rmhTNF-αand increased concentrations of cisplatin.
Results rmhTNF-αor cisplatin inhibited the growth of A549 cell lines in a dose-dependent manner. The inhibitory effect of rmhTNF-αcombined with cisplatin was significantly greater than cisplatin alone at the same concentration (all P<0.01).
Conclusion rmhTNF-αcombined with cisplatin might have synergistic inhibitory effect on human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549.

Objective To study the efficacy of linezolid on gram positive bacterial infection in elderly patients and risk factors associated with thrombocytopenia.Methods A retrospective analysis of 50 elderly patients treated with intravenous linezolid for gram-positive bacterial infection from January 2008 to October 2010 was conducted.Clinical data and bacteriological responses were assessed.Efficacy of linezolid on infection and risk factors associated with thrombocytopenia in elderly patients were analyzed.Results The average duration of treatment was (13±2) d,the efficacy rate was 74 ％ and the bacteriological eradication rate was 69 ％ (18/26).Thrombocytopenia occurred in 24 patients during the treatment,and the average platelet count was significantly reduced compared with pretreatment[(146±87) 109/L vs.(239± 114) 109/L,t=3.888,P=0.000)].Thromhocytopenia was associated with the baseline platelet count and the mean time of linezolid treatment.Based on a Logistic regression analysis,the baseline platelet count ＜ 200 × 109/L was identified as the only significant risk factor for linezolid-associated thrombocytopenia in elderly patients (OR =0.244,95％CI:0.068-0.874,P=0.030).The mean platelet count was decreased significantly after 7 days of treatment,and decreased to the lowest value 1-2 days after the end of therapy.Conclusions Linezolid is effective and safe for the elderly with gram-positive bacterial infection,especially hospital acquired methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus infection.Linezolid has little effect on liver and renal function in elderly patients,but it can cause thrombocytopenia,which is associated with baseline platelet count and the mean time of linezolid treatment.Platelet counts should be monitored during treatment and measures should be taken to prevent hemorrhagic tendencies.
